HERE are In iMnrshflclU, a

, how many there aro dopcndsAipon
whom you ask about It. Ono In
I fornmnt will tell you there aro only
a few. ,Ho gets his Information
from reading tho want ads and tho
tho reports ot prosperity In Kansas.
Ho doesn't look around inu'en has
rheumatism, maybe.
Another will toll you there aro
four or flvo hundred, or mnybo
more. Ho is tho man who delights
to
minimize such things, nor over
state, out ot pure cusscdncss or a
destro topknock.

In calamity and tlio nolso thereof,
and wishes to lot everybody in on
what ho enjoys so much. You will
notice particularly, If you pursue
tho subject, that ho predicted' this
atatoV things precisely, somo httlo
tlmo ago. Kvor nollco ' how many
prophets of nn event appear after
It has happened? Somo pcoplo aro
always predicting misfortune, and
it they kcop on, thcy'ro sure to strlko
It somo tlmo or othor. Then they
enjoy tholr reward for this rich
service to humanity.
Neither of tho foregoing state
ments, howovor, Is accurate. Wo
don't mean to Imply that anybody's
lying. It wouldn't bo a "scoop"
If wo did, and wo might as well bo
patlont till the Judgment day nnd
got tho straight facts.
It you will take tho trouble to
count, tho vacant houses, you will
find that a hundred Is not far from
tho number either way. That's not
very many for a town of this Hlzo,
but it's somo too many for tho
"Ilooster" to pass unnoticed, with
out Inquiring Into tho reasons.
Aro theso houses vacant becauso
so many pcoplo havo loft town?
Not on your daguorrotypo. Such
statistics ns wo havo, not excluding
Iho "running" oxponso figures ol
tho city, do not Indicate any do
creaso In population. People havo
loft, of courso, both voluntarily
nnd at tho earnest roquost of Judgo
llutlor. Hut othors havo coino to
till tho ranks lots of thorn,
Thcro Is Just ono reason for. theso
vacancies, it is noi less iiiim o
tiundrod now dwellings nnd npart
mout houses (tho latter housing all
tho way from two to 21 families
caoh) havo boon built In tho past
two years within tho city limits
Alono ,to Baj nothing of a largo
numbor (perhaps equal as to single
dwellings) In Hunker Hill, First
Addition, Hay Park, Mllllngjon,
ICastsldo, and vithor outlying dis
tricts. In other words, it Is duo
(o n tendency to scok nioro modern
dwellings, in lino with our ndvan'co
and dovelopmout in nil . respects.
Thoso now convonlonces havo boon
supplied, and tho people, oldtlmors
and uowcoinors allko, havo taken nd
vantngo of thorn. Thoro might nlso
bo mentioned a tendency, always
Appurout In quiet t linos, for pcoplo
to "doublo up" so that two families
occupy n hquso whero thoro was
only onQ before.
Whon wo spoak of thoso condit
ions, lot us try to know what wo
aro talking about, and then not
