SUFFERING IN KANSAS.

An Appeal for Aid-Eifteen Thousand
Settlers In the Frontier Counties
Without Food or Clothing.
ATcH1soN, Kan, Nov. 21.--Ihe Daily Cham
pion publishes from an sdyance sheet Of oficiz
reports made to the State Board OF Agriculture
some statistics showing the destitution existing
in several Of the frontier counties OF the
State Seventeen counties in which an
aggregate of 15s,000 acres had been
planted in corn, produced not q bushel
of this cereaL Five ct these counties produced
an average crop Of wheat. rye. oats, barley, and
buckWbeat, aud are abundant1y able to relieve
any individual cases. OF destitution in their
midst The other twelve counties. having an
State census taken last June. are all On the re-
mote frontier, and settlements with them havs
all been made within the last three
years. The eight in which the greatest
dessltution prevails have all been populated
within the past year or two, and the greater part
of their population settled within their limits
either last spring or the preceding fall These
eight have an aggregate population Of II, 1885,
Tne settlers generally had their first crop
planted. Ihey had expended all Of
their means in building their homes and
getting in their crops. Drought and grass
hoppers wrought total destruction Of every
thing they had planted, leaving them totally des-
titute. They are without either food, clothing,
or fuel to sustain them until they eau produce
something on which to live. and must be sus-
taiued by charitable contributions Of the people
in other sections Of the State and country at
large.
The Champion computes the number Of des-
titute in the State at from 20 900 to Is 600. but
of these many are located in older countless whore
the crops. with the exception OF corn, we're fair
average, and the more fortunate citizens are able
and willing to help their destitute neighborhood,
but in eight counties the destitution is very gem
emil Almost the whole population Will need
