Kansas Mortgage Better Than Cash
A peculiar state Of things is described
in the petition in case in the district
court. One man wants TO paya corpor-
alton lot of money and the corporation
wouldn't accept it. The money was
placed in bank year ago or more TO
be paid to the party Of the second part
and now neither the party Of the second
part nor the party Of the first part will
take it out The trouble arose over the
terms Of a mortgage contract. The
mortgagor borrowed the money, some
5000 for long term Of years which have
not expired, He made the money to
pay the debt quicker than he expected
and now wants to pay it. He claims
the contract gave him the privilege Of
paying sooner than the expiration Of the
term of the mortgage if he so elected,
The mortgage company claims not and
so he is testing the matter in court, Only
a few years ago the mortgage companies
were protesting TO be afraid TO loan
moneyin Kansas tearing they would not
get their money back. Now some of
them at least appear 10 be afraid they
will get it back too soon. But the case
will not come to trial Before time for
it to come to trial the loan company de-
cided to accept the money with the inter
est due at the time the tender was made
year or more ago. The farmer, Mr..
Rounds, pays the costs Of the suit so far
as any were incurred and the case was
dismissed.

Even the big Metropolitan newspapers
that make money by the barrel are not
without their troubles, For instance in
this city there was athri(Iy fellow and
his wife who had the news routes for
about all the outside papers except the
Star and seemed to be doing a good
business. But all at once a short time
ago he turned up missing and with him
probably several hundred dollars belong
ing to the newspapers which he had col
lected as subscriptions and not turned
in. But the worst of it for them was
the loss of their routes. They had no
way of knowing who their subscribers,
were, and no record of their payments,
The name Of the missing man was
Thomas.

WRECKED BOAT AT BREAKWATER.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 27.-The
wrecked schooner Emma q. Knowles
passed in the Delaware Breakwater this
morning in tow of the tug FRANK W.
Mum.
The Emma y. Knowles was sighted
by the steamer Suningdale on the after
noon Of April Oath off Atlantic City.
She was lying on her beams end. with
oeclSs awaah aud deckhuuse gone, and
appeared to have been in collision.
She was picked up by the tug Mum
early yesterday, and reached the Break
water today.
The cnptain of the Mum reports that
the Knowles had evidently been in col
lisiun with another craft. There was
not sign of life on board tho schooner.
1t is the general belief in shipping
circles that the crew OF nine men has
bten lost, but the owners of the Knowles
cling to the belief that the vessel which
was in collision with the schooner has
picked up the crew, and that the men
will be landed nc some foreign port.
