LOOKS AS THOUGH TIMES
ARE NOT SO VERY BAD

If the payment of mortgage loans
counts for anything, the people of In
diana were fully as prosperous in 1907
as they We're in 1906. Reports COM
piled by the Indiana bureau Of statis-
tics on satisfaction of mortgages re-
corded for the year ending December
81, 1907, shows the total amount of
mortgages loans pair at s70,69S,74S.
The total amount of such loans paid
in 1906 was s70.114.605. The total
number of mortgages paid off in 1907
was 57,415 and the total number paid
off in 1906 was e0,74s.
The report would seem to indicate.
too, that farmers, in particular, have
been prosperous during the last year.
The number Of farm mortgage loans
paid off in 1907 was 1856 and the
amount $54.432,970. The total num-
Der of farm mortgage loans paid off in
1906 was only 2S,497, and the total
amount anly s32.s9O,5s6. In the pay
ment of mortgage loans on city and
town lots just the reverse was true.
The total number of mortgage loans
on city and town lots paid off in 1907
was 21,7S9, and the total amount was
S16,274,87S. In 1906 the t~tal number
OF mortgage loans on city and town
lots paid off, as shown by the records,
was 32,2S7, and the total amount
reached s37.224,03s.

HOW MEN ARE KILLED
State Statistican Moore
From Honeymoon, Gives
Grewsome Figures.

IndianapoIi April 16.-Grewsome
figures on accidents and crimes fur
nished by Mrs. Mary Stubs Moore,
state statician, who has just returned
from a honeymoon trip to the Pacific
coast. They show that the steam
roads Killed fewer people last year
than in 1906 and that electric lines
killed more.
The steam roads were responsible
for 425 deaths, the interurbans for
fifty and the street railways for forty
one. The figures for the year pre-
ceding were as follows: Steam roads,
44S; interurbans. thirty-nine and
street railways, twenty four.
Homicides for the year aggregated
129-101 men and twenty eight women.
OF the men seventy eight were white
and twenty three colored: of the
women. twenty-three were white and
five were colored. For 1906 the mum
Der aggregated Ill.
Suicides aggregated 355 to 303 for
the year before Men again were in
the majority there being $50 to ninety
number were colored-four men and
one woman.
Deaths by accident aggregated 1898
to 1854 for the year preceding and
deaths from natural causes were
ITO to 1905. In the latter comparison
a decrease-the only one in the re-
ports noted.
The total shows that 2SsS lost their
lives last year from all causes to 2775

on the matters of bridges and paving
in the case of the former, and bridges
alone in the case of the latter. There
