The organization, as now arranged, is an
efficient one and the donations will reach

| States East, are requested to send their con-
] tributions in money, boots, shoes, wooden
materials for clothing, heavy cotton cloth for

agents and they again with Committee t
be a pointed in the States.
As the citizens of Kansas who will be re
lieved say that sthey do not want aid as
grGtuty, but viii pay it back when able, it i
proposed that the receipts after final settle
ment, shall be handed to the County Board {
Commissioners Of the respective counties i
Kansas, and that the people be allowed Voltn
tarily to pay when able to the County Treas
urer the amounts; and that the amounts thu
paid be constituted A CeMNOI SCHOOL FUN

school districts of the respsctiUs counties. Thu
the donors will rehevethe hungry, and furnis
seed to plant, and the interest Of thstreliefEi

All agents who areIin the States authorize

: quested to report themselves to the unde

the General Agency at Atchison all donation

equal distribution in accordance with Il

t6orized agents from soliciting aid which ma
be misappropriated, and at the same time r
= ceive the benefit to be derived from a redu,
, ton of freights on railroad transportatiC
agreed upon by this General Agency wit
the railroad companies.
The undersigned most respectfully solic
the cooperation of the humane and liberal

to eat but corn meal and water, and but
small quantity of that. q

bored or lengthy appeal to the citizens
