Mortgage Company Has Scheme
to Reform Them in Kansas.

H Hills, of Topeka, the state agent
of the Colonial and United States Mort
gage company, is working the Kansas
end of a scheme to unload the spend
thrift sons of some of England's
wealthy men on Kansas. The men are
to be brought to Kansas under the
guise of remittance men,
Remittance men,, it is understood,
are the representatives of some of the
older families of England, who waste
several years of life in dissipation in
which their fathers have been unable
to exercise any control over their ac-
tions, except to furnish the money to
pay the bills contracted by these same
sons. The plan now about to be put
into execution contemplateS bringing
these unmanageables to Kansas in
punches of a dozen every few months.
They will be put into the employ of
some of the larger manufacturing con-
Germs or on some of the larger ranches
in the state They will, however, re-
ceive no remuneration. They will be
signed out to the various employers
for certain term of years and in re-
taught the rudiments and the "ins and
outs of whatever business they decide
to enter. To support them while they
are in America their fathers will send
regular monthly remittances. 1t is
from this system of remittance that
they derive the appellation remittance
men,
The plans for bringing these men to
Kansas are part of gigantic scheme
to dispose of the property acquired by
the Colonial and United States Mort
gage company, of Glasgow, England
and st. Paul, through mortgages that
have been allowed to lapse. This COM
pany has gained great tracts of land
in western Kansas and in the eastern
part also by the foreclosure of mort
cages, and it is to dispose of this same
property that the scheme of bringing
remittance men" to Kansas was
evolved.
Each of the men who are brought
over from England will be a man who
has money and who will invest in land
offered for sale by this company after
serving the length of time required to
learn the business in which they en-
tered.
The arrangement may result in par
TALLY bringing about the action ad-
vised by Max O'Rell when he said the
scions of English wealth should bolster
up the nobility by marrying healthy
Kansas girls. While learning some
busines by which to amass a fortune,
it is not unlikely that great majority
of the remittance men, may meet and
marry Kansas girls

Kansas town. P. H. Anderson came to
Chicago, graduated from a training
school for missionaries, went to Alaska,
found mine containing millions, came
back, married a beautiful young class
mate, gave a fortune to his alma mater
and now is on his way to Sweden to
visit relatives he has never seen. This,
in brief, is the story of how the Swedish

and seminary and hospital in Bowman
vile, near the Swedish Old Peoples
home, has just enjoyed a large gift of
gold brought from the frozen north, as
a result of which added benefits will be
extended by the college to hundreds of
students from all parts of the country.
Associated with Mr.. Anderson in the
donation is John Brintesen, whose sud
den grasp on wealth was made almost
marvelously Anderson's. Mr..
Brintesen was a laborer in the iron
mines of Ishpeming, Mich, when the
news of the discovery of vast quantities
of gold came from the Klondike.
Dropping his pick and collecting all
the money due him from his employers,
he drew from the bank the savings of
several years toll and hurried to the far
northwest. There he plunged into the
long train of seekers for fortune and,
after a hard battle with privations that

was the reply, and then Mr. Anderson,
who already had conceived plans for
furth3cing the work that had caused
him to reach the gold fields, explained
his intentions. Together the twain came
back to civilization, soft beds and the
European plan, but Mr.. Brintesen did
not know that a romance was to be
rounded out by his companion. This
romance comprehended the wedding of
Mr.. Anderson to the young woman who
had been his classmate in the college at
Bowmanville while he was studying for
the work of missions and who on his
return was a nurse in the Swedish
hospital. The young couple were mar

Anderson's story reads like a fairy
tale. Ten years ago he was struggling
for an education He had had few early
advantages, and after he had learned
what he could in the district schools he
went to the Salina Normal university to
fit himself for teaching. At length he
determined to become a missionary and
went to Alaska That was shortly be-
fore the great discovery of gold in the
Klondike. Anderson was engaged in
missionary work in that region at the
time He filed on some mining claims
and worked them as he had time in his
missionary work He was rewarded by
rich finds, and in three years returned
to the United States with about 5000, 900.
He provided for his parents and bought
a farm for his brother near Enterprise
in Dickinson county, where most of his
relatives now live. Then he returned to
his work in Alaska where his gold
mines continued to turn out wealth for
him. A year ago he again returned
from Alaska, married a former class
mate, and began to plan to do good in
the world with his wealth. Among 9TH
er things he announced his intention

A half dozen towns made a vigorous
