KANSAS FARM MORTGAGES.

A Reported Reduction of Forty-five Per
Cent since 1390. ‘ .

TOPEKA, March 12.———The Topeka Capi-
tal publishes an elaborate statement of
the reduction in mortgage indebtedness in
Kansas during the past, seven years, show-
ing a decrease of 45 per cent, or over $105,-
000,000, since Jan. 1, 1890. The compari-
son is drawn between the figures of. the
federal census of 1890 and reports to Tho

' Capital from the registrars of deeds of 38
counties, showing the recorded mortgage
indebtedness on Jan. 1, 1897. '

In 1890 these counties had a mortgage
indebtedness of $63,158,681 and in 1897,
on the same basis, 834, 620,138, or a net
reduction in the seven years of 828, 538,493,
over 46 per cent. If the same percentage

holds good for the entire state, the total
reduction in Kansas for the seven years
amounts to $105,968,208. This reduction
is very much greater if settlements by deed
and foreclosure in the western third of the
state are considered.

Careful estimates of the same figures
show that only smooohoo of land mort—
gage-debt is held by persons outside the
state. or this, $13,000,000 is held by in-
surance companies doing business in Kan-
sas, and therefore but $25,000,000 by in-
dividual foreign Creditors as compared
with $85,000,000 in 1890.

In 1890 the total mortgage debt of the
state on farms and lots was reported by
the census to be 27 per cent of the actual
value of all taxed real estate. Today it does
not exceed 15 per cent. The statement
shows that Kansas has been diligently and
successfully paying and is today‘probably
freer of debt than any other western state.

 

- MAN AND MONEY MISSING. __

Chief Accountant Peirce and $5,000 Have
Strangely Disappeared.

PHILADELPHIA, March 12.—John F.
Peirce, chief accountant and cashier of the
Reading Railroad company’s business at
the Port Richmond coal wharfs, is miss-
ing, and $5,000 intrusted to him to pay
the employees is not in the company’s safe;
neither have the employees been paid.

Peirce was looked upon as an upright
man. He had the respect of the employees
and for more than 18 years was a faithful
employee of the corporation. He was pro-
moted gradually from one position to an-
other until he was made chief accountant.
Paying the employees in the marine de-
partment of the company was a duty he
had to perform monthly, and last Satur-
day over $5,000 was intrusted to him for
that purpose. He remained at the office
until Saturday evening and then disap-
peared with the money. Detectives are
hunting for .him. ,

probably $75,000 and on contents 810,000.
Ryan & Clark were ‘the owners. Along-
side the stationary elevator was a floating
elevator, also owned by Ryan & Clark and
valued at $40, 000. This, too, was de-
stroyed. ’ - '
