NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT Interesting Information on Nebraska's Pros- ent Mortgage Indebtedness, ALL COUNTIES MAKE A GOOD SHOWING In Many Cases the Purchase Money is Sald to be Represented by the Encams brances—Other Lincoln News Notes, Lixcory, Neb, July 12.—[Spocial to Tre Bre.)—Thelaw requiring county clerks to make monthly reports of ail real estate and chattel mortgages filed and released has been in operation a year ana tho state bu- reau of industrial statistios today completed the compilation of the reports of the saveral counties of the state. During tho yoar which ended July 1, 24,548 farm mortgages were filed, aggrogatng in amount $22,461,741, and 24,505 farm mortgagos were roleased, aggre- gating §17,004,905.16, For the sams period oity mortgages flled amounted to $12,16,757.51, while the city mortgagos released amounted to £0,040, i The chattel mortgages flea during tho year amounted to §22,015,154.65; released for " the same pariod, §14.505,317.11. The following is a tabulated statement showing the farm : mortgago filings and reloasos by countios for the entire year: County. Released Adnms * s Antelop 128,608 Bann Blaine. Boone.

Thomns .. on 03,75 0.231.10, 304,001 What it Indicates, In nineteen counties the amount of mort- gages releasad, exceeded those hled. Buffalo county makes the best showing, considering the large amount filed and released, while Thomas county is the bauner county of the stato, her people having filed mortgages amounting to ouly $150 during the entira year. It is & noticeable fact that the farm mort- gazes have been paid off much more rapidly 10 proportion to wealth and population, in those counties in the western and north- western parts of tho state. Many of the counties that had to be relieved by state ap- propriation Lwo years ago make a gratifying showing. . It is worth while to state In this connec- tion that a very large percentago of the farm mortgages filed were given for part of tho urchase money. Thereis no wav of arriv- ng at the exact proportion, but u large nun ber of county clerks report that fully one- third of the morteages are given us part pur- chaso monoy. This boing the caso, itis quite apparent that Nebraska farmers are not plunging deeper into debt ev year. but on the contrary are more thau holdin their owu. To quoto a prominent stato official, “there is notuing in the figures to justify the state- ment 8o frequently mado by tho Mrs. Leases and others that the farmers of the west are becoming more snd more involved every year, Another favorablo crop year will reverse the totals and a year hence tho report will show that the farm mortguges paid off oxceed thoso filed.” OMAHA DAILY BEE: .WED Kosbau's Body Found, The boly of Herman Kosbau was found lato last evening by the mon who had been searching for iv for over tnirty hours.

Shad- duck, I tind that he is & fit subject for execu tive clemency., Kach one of tho jurors by whom be was convicted addressed me a per- sousl lotter stating that evidence had come to them since the convieuos of Shad- duck, which if presented at the trial would have secured his axquittal. Afidavits of reputable citizens furnished ample evidence that tho testimony of the complaining wit- npess was unreliable and unworthy of credence, Evidonco was also presented demounstrating that it would have basn 1m- possible for the offense to have been com- mitted in the manper described by the com- lainiug witness in her testimony. Letters rom leading ecitizens and officials of Thaver county testify to the good character of Snadduck ana the evil oharacter of the complainant. Petitions signed by nearly every citizen of the county testified in a simllar manper to the good character of Shadduck and prayed for flh pardon, Now, therefore, in cousideration of these prem- ises and for good and suficlent reasons to wo known, 1 hereby graut unto him, the said Lincoln J.
