THE EXTREME SUFFERING IN KANSAS.
To tht Editor " The N. " Tribune.
SIR: The town of Ozack Anderson Co.. Ia very des-
ttute having received no assistance Being Informed,
through the press and verbally that large amounts OF
supplies were being donations for Kansas, IA
the Chairman Of said town. sent two teams TO Atchson
TO Gen. Pomeroy, distant from here $50 miles re-
ceived eight bags Of corn and potdoes 70 be dis
ributed 10 over 100 souls. The did not pay the
exrense Of the teams. The drivers reported, after
waiting three days that they received that for their
full Stare; that there were IS other waiting, and
that large numbers left without anything. TesmSers
have 70 be exposed 10 rain snow and the ncemen-
cies of Winter, day and night the road half starved
themselves and their horses for they have no funds for
tavern expenses, and are obliged to camp out.
Gen Pomeroy Ia doing all it is possible to do 10 ale
yiae the suffering Of the people, but Kansas slarge,
and nearly all are destitute, il requires vast amount
10 supply them. What will be the end God only
knows. Five sons have gone 10 their long home-deh
from starvation father, mother, and three children
Near the town Of Black Jack, a am informed to-day,
another family was nearly famisbed when found. And
this is only the beginning. Famine Ia upon Us, and l
have no doubt il will be fatal 10 many.
Our brethren in the States have nobly responded to
the call for relief but the distress Is much greater than
any Of us imagined and now, after all that has boon
contributed and pouring in BY railroad, numbers OF
teaIns after travelling many weary days have 70 80
home without food Our town very destitute OF ooth
food and clothing and there are numbers in 1t VINO VIII
sarve before they will ask for bread To those East
having friends in Kansas would say; Send them no
hef unless you are SURF they do not need it, for many
will not ask it. You can send safely 70 the care OF Gen.
