The population in 1890 was 180,182, and In 1900 it was 892,000, an average yearly Increase of 2L76 per cent At this rate the population for the year 1908 was 657,855, and at the close of the year 1904 It will be 796,034. There are 87,000 Indians and 20,000 negroes on citizenship rolls.—Kansas City Star.
