Al its conclusion Judge l.. b. Kellogg
responded to a call from the assembly

All efforts thus far 10 effect an organ
ization for extending aid to the sufferers
on the Kansas frontier, have failed in Lyon
county, and we have been forced to CON
front the unpleasant fact that there
seems to be no hope of awaking an in
terest in this behalf among our people.
The call for a meeting at the court house
last Monday evening, of the trustees of
the different townships and represents
tiVcs from each of the wards in En-
poria, was responded to but by four of the
number appointed at previous meeting
as members Of county central commit
tee, the parties present being Messrs.
Jacob Jacobs, of jackson township /:
Chas white, of EmpOria; c. c. Lynch,
of Pike, and Mayor Gilmore. These
gentlemen upon consultation concluded
that unless evidences of a more hearty
spirit of cooperation in the proposed
work should be developed, 1t would be
manifesIly vain 10 GndeaVoT to accom-
plish anything in the way OF cfteeting an
efficient organization. In consequence
the matter went by default, and thus the
second attempt in this direction within
the past month failed.

apathy are not entirely groundless, but
