to go o. high as three hundred and eighty
odd dollars in one month. They are sci.
dom less than two hundred. can prove

it wherever it il addressed. and he re
ports that he cannot find any such number
or u.me. Il is brought back. and the

The City Counsellor. however. carried

that the city was not fable for dsmaR'

In the West. the falling of from the
estimates is still greater. The people
of the West sre in the habit Of calculating
too largely. Their prosperity is greet

sibility. Omsha boasted of30 900. but the
census reduces it to about IS. 600. Coun-
Gil Bluffs experiences the same falling OF.

Kansas must ssubmit to tho same

So on to the smaller towns. White

but hsvs nothing bot their individual
selves TO count in the census. As IN ex.
ample. there are over $50 voters in White
Cloud. which. at the usual estimate,
would indicate population Of 1900 to
1900; but the fact is, there are less than
four inhabitants to voter in this town.

much in all other towns in the State.
