Tho TOrrens System.

to have a law passed by the com
ing legislature which is OF the
utmost Importance to every real
estate owner in Kansas. 1t is
law for the registering of land
titles under what's known as the
''Torrens System of Registering
Land Titles"
Below we give an article from
the pen of the late Governor VIM.
E. Russell of Massachusetts,,
which will tell more of the system
than we can:
I'm view of the great benefits
to be realized by the adoption OF
this measure, I believe it to be
the longest step that has yet been
taken anywhere toward that
freedom, security and cheapness
of land transfers which is con-
coded to be SO desirable in the in
terest of the people,
'The need of some new system
of land transfers is shown by the
ever increasing discomfort and
dissatisfaction caused by delays
and expense attending our present
methods, which is by no means
perfect. The delay and expense
attending it form a serious tax
upon purchasers and morteagers
of land and bears with special
weight upon owners of small es-
tates. Under our practice a new
examination of the title is usually
made upon each sale or mortgage
of piece of land, in spite of the
fact that sufficient examination
may have been made in former
transactions.
These repeated re-examina-
tions. generally needless, not
only cause useless expense, but
delays which often involve a SER
ious loss.
Under the Torrens system an
official examination is substituted
for an unofficial one, and the re-
suit when once sufficiently ascer-
tanned is given conclusive effect
in favor of the owner, and his
title is made perfect against the
tmorld. A marked contrast be-
tween the two systems. Then
again a title is examined once
for all and there is no need for
re-examination, as all subsequent
acts and proceedings must be
brought to the registrar to be
noted on the official records and
sAsced upon the duplicate certif-
eaate IN the owners possession.
"A tSsAsRGtion of the utmost sim
plicity and carrying with it abb
solute security.
"A further feature of this sys-
tenn is the convenience and relief
afforded to all who desire or are
compelled to borrow money easily
and cheaply upon landed security
is of great. consequence to the
prosperity and development of
ali communities and at times
when loans are contracted and
credit is shaken it would be of
great benefit to business if all
the real estate of the community
possessing as it does, greater sta
bility of value than anything
else, could be made as immediat-
ely available for a means of rails
ing money as stocks of goods or
other personal property. In eff
feet under the Torrens system
every right is equitably protected
and every interest faithfully pre-
served, the State provides pro-
per proceeding in which any one
can have his rights in relation to
a piece Of land declared and ss-

particular persons but also
against everybody. Yet its use
is optional and not compulsory.
1t remains entirely within the
option of every land owner wheth-
err he will avail himself of the

system or not, and therefore no
one loses any rights which he
now possesses.

mans most sensitive spot. Perhaps
through this he may be brought to
view cremation with greater favor
For the year 1900 there were p
419 incinerations in the United
States, as against 1,147 for the
period 1876-1S9O. The furnace
grows constantly in favor, especially
in the cities. Religious creeds there
are, nevertheless, and prejudices
founded in sentiment, which remain
against the idea of cremation, and
these scruples of believers and
mourners must of right be treated
with regard
To attempt bringing about univer-
sal cremation by force of law, there
fore, would result in failure at pres
ent. The general sentiment is
against it. Proper presentation of
the truth, that the change from
burial to incineration is advocated
not through any lessening of tender
ness for the dead, but through a
strong sense of duty to the living,
is the only method that will produce
results.

HOOK WORM AT GA. UNIVERSITY.
Lazy Bug Found to Infect Thirty Per
Cent of the Students.

Prevalence of the hook worm, to
which certain scientists have ascribed
the cause of laziness among students
of the University of Georgia, is caus-
ing the faculty alarm, and a cam
paign has been determined upon to
eradicate the parasite.
DR.. ]. C. Bloomfield, president of
the city board of health of Athens,
has been examining the students at
the request of the faculty, and he
reports that at least 80 per cent. are
suffering from hook worms. Many
Of those examined, Dr. Bloomfield
states, are members of wealthy fami-
lies, which, in his opinion, discredits
the belief that the disease is preva-
lent only among the poorer classes.

FOUND PIRATES TREASURE.

But He Must Serve Term in Peni-
Tertiary Before Enjoying It.
Joseph Choate, known as the "Pi-
rate Treasure King" who claims to
have discovered a pirates cave in
which lay $9O,OOO,O0O worth of
treasure, was sentenced at Abbeville,
La, the other day to the state peni-
tertiary. After making the discov-
cry, alleged, or real, Choate placed
his discovery on a commercial basis.
He sold shares and collected about
SIP, from men and women who
were impressed by his statements.
When it came to getting out the fat
Spanish doubloons and rich plate the
.discoverer regretted to report that
he had lost the way to the pirate
cave.
There are many who believe that
Choate is absolutely sincere. Pre-
vious to the time he obtained the
$12, 900 his life had been above re-
prOach. Choate as a matter of fact
expended some of the money raise1
in building roads and canals through
the dense swamps, in order to carry
out the treasure. He says the treas
ure is contained in $50 chests, each
of which contain about 100000, and
asserts that when released from the
penitentiary he will resume his
search.

the great demand for services justifies
large expenditures. The skill mani
tested in cleaning is thoroughly appre-
ciated and its utility insures that it
will continue to be employed, and that
the demand will increase proportion
ately with the growth of the popula-
tion of the city and also with the
very extensive growth of the suburbs
of San Francisco, which are dependent
upon this city for very large share
of their conveniences, among which are
the facilities for having articles cleaned
quickly. satisfactorily and at low
cost to the patrons of the various es-
tab1ishnients.
San Francisco is noted for it's devo-
tion TO fashion The well dressed
ladies OF the city have established a
standard in personal appearance.
Thousands have brought here from
abroad knowledge of and skill in pro-
ducing the dress effects that add to the
beauty of the crowds in European and
eastern capitals. The native daughters
of California are also famed for the
rare taste that they display in apparel
ling themselves. The union of delicacy
and the instructive knowledge of the
harmony of colors which seems to be-
long as the natural birthright 10 the

plies the very extensive use and re-
lance upon the cleaning establishment.

San Francisco contains large semi

great many fine resorts that are within
easy reach Of this city. Every summer
and. in fact. during every school vaca-

points near or far of thousands. of the
city's population. At such times what
amounts to a practical house cleaning
season arrives. There is a general
renovation of curtains and of other
textiles belonging in the households.
All local circumstances tend to increase
the business of the laundries, which
grow in popularity each year, stimuli
taneously with the increase in their
efficiency and the addition of all the

ances and other accessories. It is evil
