and other parties. For instance an ar
tlcle in the Milwaukee Herald of re-
cent issue stated that the restitution of
Southwestern Minnesota, was not SO
extensive as had been reported, and
quoted from the ADVANCE in regard
to the quantity of wheat that was being
sold at Worthington. They were (per-
haps Internationally led to believe that
all the wheat sold at Worthington was
raised inlNobles county, instead of in
Northwestern Iowa, Southeastern Da-
kota, and Southwestern Minnesota
But many Of the farmers who were
lucky enough to raise any wheat were
compelled to sell it in order to pay for
the seed, for which they had mortgaged
their crop, and will need aid as though
they had not raised a grain Of wheat.
Much has been stated in regard to the
mode of relief, among them that all
sensible men would take advantage of
the act of Congress for the relief Of
homestead settlers in the grasshopper
district, and go elsewhere to support
himself and family during the winter,
but made no provision how his fall
work should be done, or his stock ia
ken care of through che winter, or
how to get away with large family
and how return.
Hunting has been suggested but no
provision made for guns, ammunition,
dogs, and time and skill to use them.-
1t should be remembered that it takes
every minute of the farmers time who
intends to raise a crop next year to pre-
pare the ground for that purpose, and
that in the absence of grain for teams
it takes two days to do one days work.
Some have said they would eat grass
before they would ask for aid. This
latter class would be the foremost in
procuring aid could they do so behind
the bush. This invigorating air has
been suggested as source Of supply
One thing is certain, that more exertion
is necessary by the sufferers of this
county to procure relief than ought to
be necessary in Christian and civil
lied country. The ravages of the
grasshopper are fully known to the Ex-
ecutive, as also throughout the State
and nation.
When great Chicago was destroyed
in 1871, the whole world came to the
rescue. When in the same year North
ern Wisconsin was overtaken by the
same destroying element, every good
citizen offered his mite for the relief of
the sufferers, and it's then gallant Gov
ernor (Fairchlld) reached his hand in
to the treasury, in behalf of the State,
to relieve the sufferers, and was after
ward sustained by the unanimous vote
Of it's humane Legislature at it's first
session following. Did not proud Bos-
to receive aid when overtaken by the
fiery fiend? Did not the General Gov
eminent authorize the issuing of ra-
tions to the sufferers OF Alabama and
Louisiana 10y the recent inundation?
And if we were a pack Of savage In
dams, scalping the Industrious whites
and mutilatlng their woman and chill
dren, we would undoubtedly also
be furnished rations. The little,
petty, small and Insignificant act of
our last Legislature, making an appro-
priation for the purpose of furnishing
seed to the settlers in the grasshopper
district, is sufficient evidence that re-
lief need not be looked for from that
source. F. B.

GOOD ROADS,

OH foot yesterday for the improvement
of the roads between here and the Rock

been subscribed in labor and materials
to put the roads in good condition.
Better late than never. Through bad
roads we have lost much of the trade
which naturally belongs to us.

FROM SEWARD,

DEW AItD, wv. IL, 1oI4.
ED. ADVANCE: The condition of
the settlers in this town can be describ-
ed in a very few lines, and taking in
view the efforts that have been put
forth to procure relief for the suffering
settlers up to the present time, and the
scanty respondence to our solicitations
for aid, the prospects for the coming
winter look dark to most of them.
Look upon community with an
iron will, an untiring nerve, with a de-
termination to fight through the COM
ing storm and march on to final victory
which they positively know awaits them,
a people who have expended all their
worldly possessions in the. improve
ment of their homes, a people who have
had their crops destroyed by the grass
hoppers two seasons in succession, all
their personal property mortgaged to
secure the payment of provisions to
keep them alive thus far, their cellars
empty, their pantries clear of provis-
ions and without means to procure any,
living in frail structures barely suffi-
Gent to keep out the SUMS rays, with
out fuel to warm them, their bedding
scanty, their clothing all battered and
torn, their teams emaciated for the
want Of grain, and you have fair and
impartial picture Of the present situa-
ton of the settlers in this town. But
the story of this town is not alone in
this county, for several towns are not
much better provided for than Seward.
But let them speak for themselves. In
regard to the quantity of grain raised

Our correspondent from Ransom

Vul CORRESPONDENCE from Ransom
rather complains that the Relief Meet
ing was called a county meeting when
so many portions of the county were
not represented and did not, in fact,
know of the meeting. We supposed
that it was generally known, for it was
published in the ADVANCE, though
those who called the meeting did not
come near the ADVANCE and acted
very much as though they did not
want the matter mentioned in our COL
umns. The meeting was composed
mainly of settlers from the Northern
townships, but there is just where the
greatest restitution exists, and it was
to be expected that that portion of the
county would take lively interest in
the meeting.
But whether the meeting was general
or not, one thing is beyond question,
viz: that there are many destitute fam
lilies who must have immediate help
What our correspondent says about ap-
pealing to the State Legislature, we
think is a point well made, and it is a
fact that the railroad is advertising for
men and teams and thus far has had
very few applications.
We believe we have some apprecia-
ton of the difficulties of this relief
business, and while it ought to be said
and said plainly that there are many
who expect to be carried when they
might help themselves through, the
great majority asking aid are worthy
and must have it or suffer extremely.
THE NEW PAPER.
A new paper bearing the name of
The Claim Shanty Tine1icator made it's
appearance in our midst last week. It
is published as the '>organ" Of the No.
bles County Democracy. The pages
are about 8 by II inches in size and are
much larger relatively than the party.
Large as the paper is, however, we have
no question of it's publication until af-
ter the election, for it is backed by mill
ions OF fractional money and publish
ed by an array Of talent which will Sc
cure its publication while it continues
to exist. The staff we understand to
he as follows: Owner Of material and
presses-W. r. Bennett. Principal
Stockholders-L. B. Bennett, l.. F.
Bennett and W. S. Stockdale. Editor
in-Chief-L. F. Bennett. Associate
Editors-L. B. Bennett, W. R. Bennett,
W. S. Stockd;tle, Warren Smith and
others. City Editors-L. F. Bennett,
l.. B. Bennett, W. r. Bennett, w. S.
Stockdale and others. Foreman-B
Bennett. Business M;.nagers-L. b.

dale. Subscribcrs-L. F. Bennett, l..
B. Bennett, w. r. Bennett, W. S.
Stockdale, Major Thurber, Thomas
Crever, D. Stone, o. Bigelow.
Levity aside, however. the Vindica-
tor, which we understand is to be issued
as campaign paper is very fairly ed
tied sheet, except in it's attacks upon
Dunnell, whom it attacks with some
very hard epithets. The little paper is
published by the Democratic County
Committee and is edited by the Ben
nett Brothers who are..experienced edi-
tors.
