' Kansas Mortgage Indebtedness. . BradBtreets. " i " The census office has issued a bulletin which gives the mortgage indebtedness of the state of Kansas by counties. The total assessed, valuation of real and, per sonal property in 1890, not including the value of railroad property, which is placed at $57,866,233, was $290,593,711. The essimated true value is between $800,000,000 and $900,000,000. It is found that Kansas has a mortgage debt of $235,485,108, which does not include a state and railroad land contract debt of $7,661,718. This debt jf 27 per. cent, of the estimated true value of all taxed real estate. The average amount of debt per mortgaged acre is placed at $6.65. Of total morgage debt $167,145,039 is upon acres and $68,340,067 upon lots. Thirty four per cent, of the total debt in force against acres is on real estate in the western half of the stase, where it is said values are low, and where settlement was made but a few years ago. It is proposed to prepare a map showing the exact localities in the state of the debt. The counties carryin6 the heaviest mort gage debt are: Sedgwick, $16,583,053; Wyandotte, $12,629,932; Shawnee, $11, 982,090; Cowlew, $7,727,427 ; Reno, $7, 429,589 ; Sumner. $5,556,042 and Mc Pherson, $5,040,949. Durr '& Co.'s weekly- review of the trade for the week ending September 18, in harmony with the prevailing impres sion, gives a very hopeful prospect for good times all over this broad land in the very near future: "'- -, The hot weather at the west is worth to the country many millions every da v. Each clear and cloudless day places mil lions of bushels of corn beyond the pos sibility of harm from frost, and a great part of the anticipated crop is already safe. The large crops mean that the farmers will be enabled to buy more freely of the products of the other indus tries and will pay this fall a vast amount of indebtedness. In four months, end ing September 1st, about 26 per cent, of the mortgaged debts on farms in Kan sas, or about $10,000,000 had been paid. Several hundred millions will thus be returned to lenders, who will powerfully affect all markets by their afforts to "find new use for their money. Meanwhile gold is also coming from . Europe ' and though foreign banking institutions are doing what they can in self-defense to restrain the movement they fail to pre vent active buying of American securi ties by foreign investors. With .money coming for foreign stoeks and bonds, as well as for wheat and 'cotton,' and with liquidation of farming, indebtedness the prospects for business this fall are un usually bright. ; . - Over a Century ago. A few days ago some children, while playing around the ehnrdh at South Paris, Me., discovered a can of powder under the old edifice. - From its appear ance' the can is supposed to have been under the church since 1774, when it was the custom of the colonial patriots to se crete their powder in the near' meeting houses. In the year mentioned John Sullivan of Berwick. raised a company of men, and going to Fort William and Mary, at Portsmouth, N. H., captured 100 barrels of powder, part of which was concealed in the old church at Durham j Androscosrsrin countv. and nsed next vear by the minute men at Lexington and Bnnker Hill. It is thought that the can found at South Paris is part of the same lot that Captain' Sullivan seized from the king's men 117 years ago. The Bay City . Tribune says there is now under contract and being surveyed ten townships of government land in this connty. This will be thrown open to settlement this winter or in the early spring. It is covered with the finest and tallest , trees that ever grew tinder the bine. canopy aliove, anu is bound to give us lively times here next spring, as the talking of it will bring a large increase of settlers sio this favored, portion-of God's great kingdom. makbibd . - At the Catholic -church in this city on Wednesday, 'September 23; by r Rev; A.
