O Middle West Real Estate A boat the last ot tba Wall street insti tutions which took Horace Greeley's famous admonition to the American youth, "Young man, go West," as the keystone of their investment policy went Into the bands of a receiver yesterday. Nearly all the others failed during th panic of 1893. "Western mortgage'! was as In the past, the cause ot this in stitution's collapse. There was a very small ripple caused in the financial maelstrom when the ticker tossed this small pebble into the seething waters: ' "New England Loan and Trust Company have gone into the hands of a receiver.'' People wondered how it held out agaiust so many odds so long. The janitors of the big office buildings down there have carried out to the waste-paper bios in the last twenty Tears enough Western mortgages to pay all the ezpensta of the Spanish war. That is wby Wall street had little faith in the future of the New England Loau and 1 Trust Con.pany. The appointment ot a receiver for the concern tooc place yesterday in the United States Circuit Court on the peti tion of the Real Estate Trust Company of Philadelphia and Savlliian S. lllen, of St. Albans, Vt., who is aj stockholder and bondholder in the concern. Judge Shipinan selected Otto T. Bannard, Pres ident of the Continental Trust Company, to wind up the company's affairs. The company was organized in Iowa with a capital ot 1375,000, though its principal offices have always been in New York City. Its purpose waa' to loan money on Iowa, Nebraska and other Western property and to purchase mu nicipal and to issue debenture bonds based on real estate mortgages. Under agreements with the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, the Atlantic Trust Com pany and the Real Estate Trust Com pany of Philadelphia, the concern has outstanding bonds, based entirely on Western mortgagee, aggregating $3,039, 4S6, According to Mr. Bannard, the newly appointed receiver, more than $1 500,- OOOof theee bnds are held in Philadel phia, about $500,0C0 in New York City, sod the majority of tha remainder are owned in New England. It is said that among the creditors of the company are Cornell and Bryn Mawr Colleges. A lumber of other educational institutions re said to be holdeis of these bonds, which, at long as the coir pany did bosi nets, paid 5 per cent, and were believed by their holders to be gilt-edged invest ments. They are based eutirely on Western farm lands and on properties in hoom cities, which are. to say the very least, not productive at presen. It is generally believed in Wall street that the financial affairs of the company were aif&oet entirely in the hatda of W F. Bartiett, the Secretary and Treasurer of tbe company, who died in Aoguet last. Mr. Bartiett was a firm believer in the future of Western real estate. Mo accneatioo beyond that of mistaken judgment is' however, msde against Mr. Bartiett. It admitted, however, that the state' ment of June 30 contained a glaring de ception. The real estate itetn in that - statement was only $311,406.10 whereaa the mortgagee given the statement, ag gregating $5,755,190.10 were nearly all as real eetate held under foreclosure by h coin pany.

Il is p aside though that tt:e president is confident that there will be more fight iog or that by keeping tr.e troops ready tho United States wiil stand a better cbancs to get what it demands in its negotationi with Spain.

A Salem paper announces in advance that the slate fair next year will be a success. Tne Democrat wishes to an nounce a jear in advance that it will cot be a success unless it Is something en tirely different from that of this year.

The vol unteer were anxious to go to the front when there was need of tbeir service for fighting.

An observing republican says tho sup porters of Corbett in Albany can be counted on the fingers of your two hands, In fact there are practically none here at all, hence the position taken by Senator Kelley will be appreciated by his repub lican supporters here generally as well as by the public regardless of politics, who wish to eee a niau elected who, wilt, in a measure at least, represent the people, Mr. Corbett ia about as clone to the people as the north pole. The Southern Pacific boys who run. through to California, predict it ia going to be hard winter. You can't make them believe otherwise. Thoy say ' the snow on Mt.

Senator Driver made the usual fool of bitnaelf yesterday during the nomination of candidates for U. S. Senator, wel 1 illustrated in the following from the Journal : Dr. Driver next arose, and m delir - ering a full biography of himself and his lore-iamers. I lie cLair called Uie sena tor's attention to tbe fact that tbe order of business was nominations for senator, and hoped the speaker would endeavor to con tine his remarks to the subject in band.

Pendleton East Oregon ian : A Mil is before tbe Oregon legislature asking for 18,000 to defray the expenses of Oregon's exhibit at Omaha. The exhibit at Oma ha baa been worth about 115 to the state. Tbe people's money should not be squandered or wasted. Stand up, Senator Kelly, the Rural Northwest says tbat the member who introduced the bill to repeal the Oregon pure lood law surely never considered what be is proposing to do, and wants him to withdraw his bill and apologue to tne legislature lor introducing it. Tbe Prineville Journal says : II E Newman and Sons will drive sheir sheep, about 6500 head, to some point near the railroad in the eastern art of tbe state where cheap hav may e obtained. Mr. Newman says ibat he is compelled to do this on account of the high prices atsked for hay in this county- Will this state legislature appropriate $30,000 a year to keep tip sixteen prof essors in the state university at fat sal aries to look after the mental wanta of Ol ninety-two young men and women bx. The above is hardly fair. For the population of Oregon, it is doubtful if Lc is state Jean fnrnish more than that number fora first class university course. Do you want the state to run a kinder garten ? Journal . It has done so in the past. The Hawiian Star publishes the out line from a government, decided upon for Hawaii, by congressional commission. The Star says it is to be called the terri tory of Hawaii, and allowed one repre sentative in congress just as though il was a state. The governor to tie appoint ed by the president rnd paid five or six thousand dollars a year salary. Hawaii will have a legislature and make its own laws, subject to approval by congress. There will be no change in the present form of legislature. To vote for senator in the territory of Hawaii the elector must possess an annual income of f ii00. In everything else the franchise is free and unrestricted by any qualification. The judiciary system will remain undis turbed.

"What Shaft s rua aivf The solemn question comes home to almost every man at some period iq nn career. "What will you give In ex, change for your life?" 1 is like that other solemn question about the aoul. Just as an honest man feels that nothing of earthly value can be weighed against hit soul so a man who has one friend to love him knows that life is too precious to be bartered away for am bition, or money, cr pride. But men are alow to believe that over. work sometimes kills; a man hates to ad mit that bin health ever needs any prticu larcare. He feels niierble and out of orra" bnt tries to "bluff it off" until he orti flat on hi back, unable to do a stroke of work. He becomes obliged to spend no end of money for doctors and even at that can hardly save ni itle.
