Shawnee County. [A complete directory of the tax-payers will be found following the business directory.]
Shawnee County is situated in the northeastern portion of the State, being in the third tier of counties south from Nebraska, and the same tier west from the Missouri State line.
It was organized in 1855, while Kansas was yet a Territory. It has an area of 558 square miles, and ranks as the first county in the State, both in population and assessed valuation. The general surface of the county is a rolling prairie, with a few high hills and bluffs. The bottom lands of the Kansas and Waka- rusa rivers are from one to three miles in width, and these, together with the valleys of the creeks, comprise 31 per cent. of the county area. The total value of public-school property in the county is over a half-million dollars, divided among ninety-four organized school districts, and about the same amount is rep- resented by private educational institutions.
Elections are held on the Tuesday following the first Monday in Nov- ember.

State Government of Kansas.
The Territory of Kansas remained unorganized and almost unpeopled un- til the 30th of May, 1854, when President Pierce signed the famous Kansas- Nebraska bill, organizing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska. In July, 1859, the constitutional convention met in Wyandotte, and on the 29th of July signed the "Wyandotte Constitution." This was ratified by the people in Octo- ber of the same year, but it was not, however, until January 29, 1861, that Presi- dent Buchanan signed the act of Congress admitting Kansas under the Wyandotte Constitution, and then her existence as a State legally began.
The State of Kansas includes an area of 82,080 square miles, or 52,531,200 acres, and is larger than the whole of the New England States and Delaware and Maryland added; equal to North and South Carolina combined, and is twice as large as Ohio. According to the United States census taken in 1860 the pop- ulation was 107,206; in 1870, 364,399; in 1880, 996,096; in 1890, 1,427,096; and the estimated population at this time (May, 1893,) is not less than 1,800,000.
Elections.
Elections are held on the Tuesday next succeeding the first Monday in No- vember in each year. The Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Members of the House of Representatives are elected on the even year for a term of two years. State Senators are elected every four years. Judges of the Supreme Court are elected in the even years for a term of six years, one being elected every two years. The State Printer is elected every two years by a joint ballot of the Legislature, and United States Senators are elected in like manner for a term of six years. A State Superintendent of Insurance is appointed by the Governor, by and with the approval of the Senate, once in four years, his term commencing in July after his appointment.
The gubernatorial term commences on the second Monday in January fol- lowing the election, and regular sessions of the Legislature are held biennially, commencing on the second Tuesday in January in the odd years.
