REALLY REAssURING.
Is Exactly what Everything in the
Way Of Business is at Present.
Especially in Inc Matter Of Real Es-
tate, Which is Uncommonly
Lively.
An Upward Tendency Apparent,
Both In Prices and in the Spirits
Of the Community.

Ii has been extremely fashionable In this
city for some few years past TO keep up and
foster the cry raised in regard to the depre-
ciation of real estate, and while there is not:a
doubt Of the fact, o fact which no sens BILE
person has ever denied, that property in gen.
eral in the metropolis Is not so high as il ives
some years ago, still ii is due to causes which
have affected alike the cities of the east, west,
north and south. Property was overva.ued
here ten years ago, and simply because We
are getting down TO n basis upon which We
can build up solid, substantial city, there is
NO REASON OR EXCUSE
for the system of general and persistent de-
nunciation and cavil which some parties
have been carrying on. Rival cities have
done what they could To foster this cry, but
their success has not beeu equal with their
enthusiasm, as regards its effect. We have
to-day the most substantial city in the Mis-
souri, Valley; our manufactures are found in
every town, village ard i.umi-t in the west
eru States and territories, and our manuiac-
tories are every day increasing ia number,
importance and extent.
A GENUINE AWAKENING.
There il no doubt Whatever that at ;he
present time there is a general interest awak-
ening in regard to real estate. Ii is steadily
getting TO be a general movement, and the
signs of the times are most decidedly encour-
aging What people just now are looking for
are bargains" and that is just now what
they are getting. The man from the east
with money in his pocket looking for .'bar-
gains- is numerous, and daily scores of appli-
cations are made to real estate agents for
property which comes under this head. The

though business houses are in good demand,
and many new ones already going up or in
contemplation. Actual basiness property
presents a very firm front, and is acquiring
back bone that
WILL SEND 1T FORWARD
in very short order. In fact, SO long as we
continu to push ahead as We are now, we
can look hopefully forws rd into the future,
and can afford TO be patient with those en-
vious rivals who will still be IN the repair
shops. 1t isapplrent a,so that Leavenworth
has received large accessio ms to its popula-
ton during the past year, which is evidenced
from the fact that there are fewer houses TO
rent now than at any previous time within
the past ten years. Tie number OF placards
