KANSAS GRASSHOPPEH IIClI1S.
The Governor Estimates thc Nu.s
Der Needing Aid Through the Win
ter AT 10000.

Gov. Osborne of Kansas, under date
Of Topeka, Kansas, Dec. IL, telegraphs
to the Chicago Tribune as follows:
estimate the number Of people in
the western counties Of Kansas who
need aid during the coming winter at
10000. A large proportion Of these
are now in want. People in the east
ern part Of the State are doing all in
their power to prevent suffering on the
frontier, but the extent Of the destitu-
tion warrants the conclusion that they
are unequal to the emergency. Flour,
potatoes, hominy and beans for food,
and clothing, especially for women and
children, are most needed. Food for
stock is also much needed, as is also
spring wheat, corn, oats, barley, and
flax for spring planting. The winter
thus far has been very favorable one,
and the prospect is for good crop.
Wheat is most excellent. A large in
crease OF acreage has been sown, and if
no unforeseen misfortune should occur
to these people they will next year be
able not only to subSist themselves, but
also to assist the unfortunates in other
local ties. Donations sent through the
Kansas Central Relief Committee, of
which Lieut.. Gov. Slower is President
and w. W. Giles Treasurer, with head
quarters at Topeka, will be sure to
reach those for whom they are intend
ed, and will be publicly acknowledged.
