SIre0 amount In five HOURS.
Wakeeney, Kan, June S.-Arrange-
ments are being made to form a stock
company for the purpose of building
public hall or opera house at a cost
of ten to twelve thousand dollars. At
the last meeting of the Commercial
club President J. H. Niesiey appointed
committee consisting of ]. w.
Phares, C. L. Hardman and r. E.
Morse to solicit subscriptions The
whole amount was secured in five
hours time Saturday afternoon, which
is going some" for q town of only 500
population. However, a part of the
stock will be taken by some of our
substantial and enterprising farmers.
There is a good opening here for the
right man with a little capital to build
and operate a modest but modern
hotel. All the buildings now in use
for hotel purposes were built 80 years
ago. The town has grown up and left
them behind and progressive citizens,
as well as the travelling public, are de-
handing something better and more in
keeping with the general public spirit
of the place. Wakeeney has three rural
mail routes, an extensive telephone
system, auto liverjes running to all
neighboring towns and only recently
the city has installed the best water
and light systems in western Kansas.
A good hotel would be a profitable en-
terprise in Wakeeney.

LOSS IN POPULATION.
Coffey County May Have to Reduce
Salaries of Officers.

Burlington, Kan, June 8.-Accord-
ing to the figures of the township as
SCISSORS the population of Coffey county
has fallen a little below $1,000 and if
the figures stick below that notch it
means a decided drop in the amount
the county officers will receive for
their services in the future. The law
provides a sliding scale for the pay of
county officers, advancing with the
population, and $1,000 is one of the
steps. Should the population be less
than $4,000 practically every county
officer will suffer a drop from 500 or
5000 year in pay.
