The total mortgage Indebtedness,
Dyed by Barton county peoplo on the
Ist of March, 1901, is as follows:
On real estate. $500. 765,397 81
This sum, nearly million of dollars,
is owed by about $50 persons on real
estate. and about $50 persons on chat
tells. Most of this borrowed money
has escaped taxation in the past. The
assessors are furnished this year with
list of ell loans Of record March Ist,
1901 and subject to taxation, and if
they got this additional million dollars
listed for purposes of taxation it ought
to lower the per cent of taxes quite
considerable.
At the average price of wheat it
would take nearly 1000. 900 bushels to
pay this indebtedness, and 200, 900
bushels to pay tho interest on it one

crop Of wheat this year again we can
pay off the one million of debts and
have half million dollars for spend.

AN EIGHT-INCH STREAM
1t VIII BE Some Time Before the
Bodies of the Sixty-One Dead Men
Can be A.ccOvered, IS After the Fire
is ExtinEuished the Water Must be
Pumped Out.

VANCOUVER, B. c., February H.
Additional details continue to come
from the Union mines at Vancouver Is
land, where the terrible fatality occur
red Friday forenoon. The accident has
thrown the towns of Cumberland and
Nanaimo into a state of gloom. The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company's
steamer Tartar arrived at Vancouver
this afternoon from the coaling station
at Union, twelve miles from Cumber-
land. She brought two passengers, H.
r. Raymond and George Bennett, both
coal minefs. Neither had any theory
as to the cause of the explosion in
No. shaft, in which the accident oc-
Cured. They say the cause is not
known and that it will never be known.
When the Tartar left Union at O'Clock
this morning the. late news from. No. 8
shaft was that the flooding process was
still being continued The fire was
still burning, although not so tiercely
as during the preceding thirty-six
hours. The otremendous volume of
water pouring into the mines from
the continuous supply furnished by an
eight-inch main was gradually per-
forming the desired service, and by to-
morrow it is confidently expected the
fire will be extingulshed. 1T will be
several days, Raymond says, before the
bodies of the sixty-one entombed min
ers can be recovered, because after the
fire has been put QUILT will be neces-
sary to pump the water out of the
mine before a rescuing party can hope
to get at the corpses now lying at the
bottom of the shaft
Shortly before the Tartar sailed
from Union this morning the steamer
Joan arrived, having on board Premier
James Dunsmuir, OF the British Column
bia government, who is one of the own
ers of the Cumberland mines. The
families of the dead miners require
financial assistance, which will be
forthcoming from more than one
source. The mayor OF Vancouver has
already taken steps TO aid the bereaved
families and other cities are taking
similar action. In the meantime Prem
Ter Dunsmuir has ordered the stock
keepers at Cumberland to give the dis
tressed families what supplies they
may need.

IMPORTANT lNDUSIR|A[S
IN THIS VICINITY WILL BE AB-
sORBED BY THE STEEL
COMBINE
WHICH IS NEARING ACTUAL
of the Best Authorities-Estima
of the Number of Hands Employed
I'm These Conference.-The Prospect
i've Effects of Such Deal.

The gigantic steel combine which
has been in formation for some days
and. is now about completed, Will abb
sorb some of the industries in this
vicinity, and the managers of these
mills are awaiting the result of the
combination. The mills that it will
affect in this manufacturing vicinity
are the Riverside pant of the Ma
tional Tube Company, La Belle tin
pany, in this city, and the Bellaire
steel works of the National Steel Com
pany. the Aetna Standard mill of the
American Steel Hoop Company, the
Laughlin tin mill of the, American Tin
Plate Company, and the plant of the
National Steel Company at Mingo juno
ton. Among these mills are some OF
the largest in this immediate vicinity,
and in all employ about 10000 work
men, not counting the office forces,
which will all about 100 men. 1t may
be said that the clerks and managers
are much concerned, as this change
will likely produce subsequent change
as it did in the formation of the
other trusts. Some of the office men
may not be required, as it is understood
the new trust will be operated on a
most economic plan. There is also
some feeling of uneasfness among the
labor unions who are employed in
these different mills, as all well know
that the Carnegie Company, the largest
in the trust. is opposed to union labor.
A manager Of one of these plants stated
to Register reporter last evening
that he did not know whether any Of
the managers of the mills concerned
had received any information regard
ing the DEAL as it was all being man
ipulated through the neads of the for
mer trusts and that none Of the mills
have, so far as can be learned, taken
an inventory, but that all were much
interested in the result.

THREE ROBBERIES.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, Pa, February IL
Three rclhoeries were committed here
at an early hour this morning. and
considerable booty was secured.
AT 8 o'clock the residence of r NJ
Gardner, on Allison avenue. was en-
tered by masked robbeH He enter
ed the sleeping room where Mr.. Gard
ner and his wife were in bed and was
seen by Mrs. Gardner who. called to
him, and was told to keep quiet or he
would kill her.
Here the man secured $42.
Evidently the same thief gained an
entrance to the residence of Geo. s.
Kendall and secured a watch and
about fifteen dollars in money.
The door Of the house of Edward
Ashibrook was unlocked, but the rob-
beers were frightened away with but
little booty.
The robberies were all in the same
section of the town. There is no clue
to the house-breaker, who was thought
to be a professional.

Conflicting Reports as to the Condi-
ton of Dowager Empress Freder-
ricka.
1TOCKHOLlM, February 1.-THE
condition of Queen Sophia is SO much
improved that it is now believed she
will no longer be confined to her bed
at all
BERLIN. February 1.-THE reports
as to the condition of Dowager En-
press Fredericka, who is still at Cron-
berg. are quite contradictory. The
Lokal Anzeiger prints a dispatch from
Homburg asserting that her condition
is satisfactory, that Or. Renvers, a
Berlin specialist who was called to at
tend her some time ago, has not been
to Homburg for three weeks, and that
her private physician attended a ball
last evening. A Berlin news agency
corroborates the statements that her
condition is quite satisfactory.
On the other hand, the British en-
bassy takes very Serious view of the
situation, believing that Emperor Will
liam is remaining at Cronberg in an
ticipation of fatal issue, and refusing
to believe the reports that the Dowager
Empress goes out driving daily.
From private sources it is ascer-
tanned that the end is expected in a
few weeks at the latest.
