VICTIMS OF COLD AND HUNGER.
The Pressure ON the Police for Relief
of the Suffering Poor.

The present cold snap has greatly increased the
number OF applicants to the police for assistance
and never does an hour pass that the police sta
tions are not swarmed with persons, some OF them
crying from the pains OF cold and hunger. Some
women with small children are among them. and
many children come alone with baskets. and tell
pitful stories about the condition OF their parents
Some have widowed mothers who are sick, and
Others have sick fathers, sisters, and brothers.
All day sunday and yesterday hundreds OF white
and colored persons asked for assistance, but on
account OF the limited amount OF funds on hand
only few could be relieved. In some cases, where
the applicant was unknown 10 the police, an OFF,
Ger was sent out 70 Investigate. In some instances
they found destitute families, who were really
SUFFERING FOR WANT OF FOOD AND FUEL,
and in many cases families did not have sufficient
clothing or bed clothing to keep them warm. In
such cases assistance was given. The officers
complain that when assistance is rendered in one
tnn al any sn1 e Se w @ soon a, h ene s.a @
manage to get along without assistance, but think
they are as much entitled to share OF the poor
they request assistance. Early this morning the
sppncants 1egSn 70 appear at the various police
hearing and investigating complaints.
THE RELIEF FUND GETTING Low.
Chief Clerk sylvester, OF the police department,
said this morning that the poor fund was getting
low, and would not last more than three or four
days by assisting only those who were really
suffering for want OF food and fuel ANY contri-
buttons OF food fuel, clothing, or cash, he said,
would greatly assist In relieving destitute and
suffering families.
The street-car drivers and policemen had hard
time OF It last night But Capt Austin did not
forget the latter, and during the afternoon he
visited the various stations and orders for the
men to work on the three-hour system, so that the
officers who went out at midnight returned to the
station at O'Clock and the other half who remained
In the station did duty the remaining three hours.
The patrol boxes were not In working order, and
the officers therefore, did not have TO make their
hourly trips to the boxes.

A SOUTHERN KANSAS FARM.
Food for Prospectors Searching for Good Farm
In Country.

Mr. A. T. Holmes. of Rock township, in
Cowley county, is a striking illustration
of how successfully practical man can
conduct large farm in Southern Kansas
Mr. Holmes came TO his present location
about sixteen years ago and has ever since
been actively engaged in farming on
large scale. Portions of his 2. 500 acre farm
cost him from ten to fifteen dollars, but 1t
is now worth, On an average, not less than
from forty to fifty dollars per acre. On
the home section, as it is called, he has ex-
cellent improvements Of the most commo-
dious character
Mr.. Holmes, during the sixteen years he
has been farming there, has never had a
failure of crop. His wheat crops have
averaged from twenty to twenty-four
bushels per acre all the time,
on land sown in wheat year afteryear. He
has used for seed his home grown grain.
The gentleman has just harvested $50
acres of wheat which will average from 50
to SO bushels per acre and is in excellent
connition. There are now in on the farm
$50 acres of the finest corn TO be seen any
where. 1t is now considerably taller than
a mans head and will yield from 80 TO 50
bushels and perhaps more per acre. The
200 acres in oats never looked better than
now and will yield in a proper ratio with
the wheat and corn. Mr.. Holmes has just
finished planting 200 acres of corn on
wheat stubble land turned under since
harvest. The prime object in planting
corn on stubble ground is TO grow fodder
for cattle, but he has had corn thus plant
ed tn WELD 20 huSheIs Der acre and is of
the opinion that this year it will surely do
well. Cattle and hogs are reported as
having never looked finer than at present
Taken altogether, farming near Wichita
can be more successfully and satisfactorily
carried on than any where else-yes, on
the face of the globe.
