STILL AT THE FRONT.
THE GREAT CITY OF KANSAS
KEEPS HER PLACE.
Wichita Comes Up Smiling With
Thirty-Nine Thousand
People.

The census of the city has been taken
and CITY Assessor w F. Green is tabulat-
ing and footing up the work. We were
permitted to make footings Of the various
wards from the sheets made up by the as
sistant assessors of each ward. Our foot
ings and totals may not be absolutely cor
rect but they viii not vary much if indeed
any, from the official figures when they APP
pear The total increase for the year
seems to have been little upwards Of
seven thousand, or according to our foot
ings exactly 1886.
When the hard times and the failure
OF crops and all the other draw
backs are taken into consideration
the past year has simply been the most
triumphant year in all Wichitas wonder
full record of years.
The total number of school children are
returned at A160 and the number of col
ored people, male and female, school age
and all, at 1,542. The total footings for
the population of 1883 show 80, 069 people.
These figures may be, and no doubt will
be disappointment TO such as have been
taking the guesses of others for facts, but
the disappointment, when al things are
considered, should not be grlevous one.
No other city in Kansas has increased one
half of seven thousand, probably not one
fourth To even hold their own has been,
in such year, success enough.
If there are any errors in our figures the
official table when made out and returned
will show what and where they are. The
increase of Sabotage seems TO have
hardly kept up TO the ratio, at least so
says Mr.. Gree II, while in the ratio Of in
crease among the colored people there is a
decided falling off. The fol owing is the
table made up as suggested by wards; the
Fourth ward making oy far the greatest
growth:

Customs Reductions.

There is feeling of uneasiness at the
Portland Custom House among.the employees.
The department states that in 1871 there was
a sum Of five and half millions appropri-
ated for the expenses of custom houses
throughout the country. Besides this amount
there has been quite large sum annually
raised by fees, penalties, etc, at the different
ports. Where the amount apportioned to
each custom house has been insufficient TO
meet expenses it has been customary to
spend the money required and then make it
up by means of the deficiency bill passed by
Congress. Secretary Fairchild acting on
President Cleyeland's suggestions, has de-
cided that only such amount must be ex-
pended by each custom house as their pro
rata amount of the whole sum appropriated
by Congress will allow. What Portland's
share will be, and what amount she will OBJ
tain from penalties, fines, etc. remains to be
seen. The figures have not yet been made
up. The receipts of the custom houses have
fallen off in fines, penalties, etc, something
like 100000. AT Portland the absence of
receipts of large cargoes of sugars to be
turned into refined sugar, owing to the for
nation of the sugar trust, must make quite a
difference in the amount of money available
for salaries. Whether the difference will be
made by reduction of salaries, or by reduc-
ton of force cannot yet be determined.

from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-

the best State physicians"
If you have cough, night sweats, posi-
tive assurance in your own mind that you,
oh-you, have no consumption" and yet
lose flesh, appetite, courage, as your lungs
waste away, you may know that soon the flu
