Aid Meeting.

; j. II. Foster has been commissioned
by the State Aid Committee to travel
Through the eastern counties and organ
ize committees for the collection of aid
for the sufferers by last years drouth.
On Tuesday last he visited the north
part of our county, and in the evening
spoke on the public square of our city.
He has resided nearly four years on the
frontier. Since he settled in Stafford
county, the frontier has been moved some
4. fifty miles or more further west. These
settlements were made just before the
drouth, and they have raised almost no
crops at all. These are the needy ones;
these are the sufferers. Will eastern
kansas stand idly by, while she over
flows with abundance, and see these peo-
pie starving to death, or starved out of
the State? Must the far west be allowed
to disgrace the State of Kansas by being
forced to appeal for help to the eastern
States? We hope not! Mr.. F. claimed
that-the region which is now destitute is
we'll adapted to ordinary farming and
stock growing. Last year, in spite of
the great drouth, he raised nearly fifty
bushels of Rice (or Egyptian) Corn per
acre on old land, and over seven bushels
.on sod Tor first) crop. He declared
that had this grain been more thorough
ly disseminated last year there would
be very little or no need for aid in that
region. Railroads carry all supplies for
those shipped through the committees
which he organized. There are proper
distribution committees in the destitute
region and the goods collected in the
east are sent wherever the general COM
mittee at Topeka may direct. This gen.
eral committee has the full endorsement
of Gov. St John. He declared that un-
less supplies were rapidly forwarded
some must starve to DEATH. A few box
,es of food especially adapted to the use
of the sick should be collected. Old
cast of garments will do much good.
Our farmers should wake up and soon
ship q car load of provisions from this
point.
In closing his appeal to our people he
announced the following committees:
President, Judge Talcott; Secretary and
Treasurer Ito whom all supplies and cash
collections will ;bedelivered by the va
,rious vice.presidents) w. A. Cowan;
Vice-president for city of lola, 81. NJ.
Miller, with VIM. Davis and Squire Nc.
Donald to assist him in making collec.
-tions. Committee of ladies to cooperate
with vice-president Miller, Mesdames
j. F.. Colborn, Harmon Scott and A. P.
Brewer. These ladies will select others
to assist them. Vice.presidents for
townships: Geneva, P. R. Mcclure;
Deer Greek, E. H. Funston; Usage, Capt.
A. Donica; Marmaton, DR.. Henry
Strong; Elr, J. P. Delaplain; lola, VIM.
Hankins. Each V.-P. is expected to
take entire supervision of the work of
collection in his district, call to his aid
such generous hearted as he may be able
to secure and bring in supplies to Sec'y
Cowan.
Now let our people come up nobly to
this work. Let not Allen county shrink
its duty while other counties are doing
nobly in this cause. Here is a reliable
channel Through which all supplies may
be forwarded. Now make use of this
channel.

I heard of rather amusing reply
given the other evening at a ball, by
an American girl in London society,
who had strayed away from the ball
room. Her mother subsequently
discovered her in o remote nook with
a gentleman who had his arm around
her waist, while she rested the tips
of her pretty little fingers on his
manly shoulder. Daughter, what 5
all this ?" exclaimed the irate man.

word, so am giving him a sitting
still waltz instead. ."-Olire Logan'S S
