COUNT is FINISHED
ANDWICHITA'S POPULATION Is NOT
Fac FROM THIRTY THOUSAND.

Postofnce Department Has Made Com
Nearly Twenty Thousand Getting NAM
Carriers to Say Nothing Of Pasroas Of
General Delivery. Lock Boxes. Children.
Etc--Postmaster Pitch Says the Popaia-
ton Is ut Least Twenty-Eight Thessand
How the Figures Were Procured.
The postoffice department has made
quite revelation concerning the pop
ulation Of Wichita.
Their figures indicate that the city
has at least 1850 people although the
figures given by Enumerator Caldwell
do not go that far by a long ways.
The figures OF the entire popula ton
of the city as returned by Mr.. Caldwell
are 81, zoe.
The figures OF the enumerator made
by the postoffice department for adults
alone are 1886.
There is a big discrepancy some
where.
II is not generally known that the
most complete directory kept in any
city large enough TO have a free deliv-
office.
The directory is kept up under the
most rigid rules OF the postoffice de-
partnent. Every mail carrier must
observe during his daily trips over his
route If any new family has moved into
II and if any has he gives them a slip
TO be filed out under the following
instructions:

a prefix in case of females. with their
own given names in full, who receive

number. The given names Of married
women must be stated. and not those
of their husbands. For example: Mrs.

The information will enable your post.

box, when completed, without prepay

These slips are brought IN every
night by the carrier and added 10 the
directory. II is the same way When a

A revision of this directory was com

yesterday. The directory is in the

Without a moments hesitation they I'M

The avengers had no mercy for the

When the last bullet had been fred that

piece Of killing walked ont from the jail

A moment or two later the keepers Of
the two guards backed out through the

Smith now picked up their own revolvers
and fired five shots through the heavy
wooden door after the retreating men.

from custody before the mob arose. Some
fears were entertained at Rouse that the
