Destitute Kansas-Why- it is So
twenty-five Thousand Sufferers.

ATCHIseN, Nov, 21.-The Daily
Champion publishes from an advance
sheet of the official report made to the
State Board of Agriculture some sta
tistics, showing the destitution existing
in several of the frontier counties Of
the State. Seventeen counties, in which
are an aggregate of one hundred and
fifty.eight thousand acres, had been
planted in corn, produced not a bush
el OF this cereal Five of these coun-
ties produced an average crop of wheat
/ rye, oats, barley, and buckwheat, and
! are abundantly able to relieve any in
/ dividual cases of destitution in their
midst. The other twelve counties, hav-
ing an aggregate population of 1887,
as shown by the State census taken last
June, are all on the remote from tier,
and settlements within them have been
made within the last three years
The eight in which the greatest desti-
tuition 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 Il
1876.
Settlers generally had their firstcrop
planted. They had expended all oI
their means in building their homes
and putting in their crops. Drought
and grasshoppers wrought the tota
destruction of everything they had
planted, leaving them totally destitute
They are without food, clothing, OF
fuel to sustain them until they can
produce something on which to live
and must be sustained by the charita
bic contributions of people in Other
sections of the State and country a
large.
The Champion computes the mum
Der of destitute in the State at from
twenty to twenty-five thousands but o
these many are located in older coun
ties where crops, with the exception
; of corn, were a fair average, and tn
more fortunate citizens are able an,
willing to help their destitute neigh
bors. But in eight counties the desti
o tuition is very general, and aim ost til
; whole population will need more 0
less assistance. At least fifteen thous
: and people must be assisted during th
q winter, and until another crop
, grown.

For several weeks past wholesale
jobs OF clothing thieving have been
going on in this city. One room was
robbed of about three hundred dollars
worth within the last few days. The
police have gotten on the track and
secured most OF the goods, and to day
the thief, Anton Gahl, alias Albert
Schloster, was captured, and nearly
seven hundred dollars worth of goods
turned up. A key tag was found in
his pocket bearing the words, "A Gahl,

One reason why Count Moltke is
no more of favorite, says and Eng
lish writer, and he is anything but
popular, is that he is an insufferable
prig, and ostentatiously wraps himself
up in mantle of self-conceit. It is
told of him that when simple Colon
ell he astOnished the members of his
mess by regularly taking ten friedrich
d'ors out of his pocket at the begin
ming of dinner and laying them beside
his plate Regularly after dinner he re-
pocketed the gold, buttoned up his
coat, looked sourly round and disap-
peared. 1t was resolved to ask him
the meaning of this strange behavior.
''Well," he said, II have noticed that
from the time entered this regiment
the conversation at table has always
turned on women, or cards, or horse
racing, and had determined to max e
a present of the ten pieces Of gold to
the first man who should start Il sensi-
BILE subject. No man has yet earned
them" Even on congenial topics
Moltke is never very talkative, being
famous for holding his tongue in ten
| different languages. And when he
/ does open his mouth, it is sometim es
/ to make such extremely unpleasant re
marks that the wonder is that his Ca
reer was not long ago abbreviated by {
duel Probably even in Germany 9e
nious is allowed some liberty.

CHILL1coruE, O.. Nov. 10.

The City of Chillicothe and James
Emmtt, ESQ, Of Waverly, seem to
view matters altogether through diff
ferent pair Of spcctacles. Some time
ago Mr.. Emmitt was ordered by the
Council to move his toll-gate, south of
the city, further from the city limits.
Mr. Emmitt refused to comply, and
the Council has failed to compel him
to obey. The Council declared his
hotel sewer a nuisance and ordered it
abated Mr. Emmitt refused to abate,
and Council was about to undertake it
themselves, when Mr.. E. obtained a
writ of Injunction last week. The
Council ordered Mr.. Emmit to move
the fence in front Of certain Paint
street property. Mr.. Emmitt refused
to move it and enjoined the Council
from removing it; and. last Of all, we
learn that Mr. Emmitt is about to en-
join the Council from paying the eN-
penscs of the narrow gauge excursion
lists who visited the city last week ,and
to whom the council rendered the hos
pitality of the city.
