the following table showing the population
of Kansas by counties. The total popula-
ton is 1,O2s,177, an increase during year of

in population during the year, are, with
two exceptions, confined to the western
border, where partial failure of crops for
six successive years would seem to warrant
a decrease. The counties lying in the
eastern two-thirds of the State have in.

since their organization. Following is the
table showing the inhabitants, decrease
