DESTITUTION IN KANSAS.
An Agent from That State Reports Suffering
Among Former Indianians.

DR.. g. K. Rumsey, of Evansville. Comanehe
county. Kansas, is in the city as soliciting
agent for the farmers of his county and vicinity,
who find the spring season opening without
their having seed, food or clothing. This al
most universal destitution is due to
the severe drought which has prevailed
in that locality since 1886--not shower
cnrring from September. 1885, to May. 1857
and which has destroyed the crops for two years.
The county is new, having been organized in
1885, and its population IS made up of settlers
from the East. many of whom are from Indiana.
They cannot get away, it is said, without losing
their entire possessions, as they have pre-
empted the Usage Indian trust lands. Comanche
county is well watered and fertile but the two
successive droughts. just as the people were
settling. renders it impossible for them got
along unaided. This destitution, DR. Rumsey
said to Journal reporter last night lis within
two days rde of this city, bet the country is al-
most nknown, as the land sharks and spectators
have denied the real condition. not to check
emigration. The county peGitioned the Gov
ernor, but no appropriation could be made, as
this is the year the Legislature does not meet.
Relief was attempted be raised by bonding
the county TO purchase feed and seed bat
this was found TO be unconstitutional, and so
delegates, last resort were appointed to
solicit aid from the Eastern States !"
DR.. Rumsey, formerly of Benton county, In
diana, has the Endorsement of Governor John A.
Martin as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,

county fully justify this appeal for assistance. CO.

This is certified by the other State as well az

H. j. Troth. formerly of Marion county. has
been sent back by DR.. Rumsey with q carload
of seed oats from st. Joseph, NO.. for immediate
sowing. as the crops are put in much earlier
there than in this State. Mr.. Rumsey has WIS.,
tied the Boards of Trade of several different
cities and recsived aid. He will to-day present

Many details of private single cases might be

thusiastic. Most of ths brotherhoods had held

to oppose any measure fayoring q strike on any
of the roads centering in Pistsburg It was
understood that action regarding the Chicago.
Burlington s. Quincy strike was TO be taken and
all the delegates came primed for the occasion.
The matter took up the entire afternoon and
was very thoroughly discus sed. The result was
that the c., B. s. @. strike was indarsed and
the manner in which it is being conducted was
approved. The following telegram was pre-
pared in the meeting, and afterwards sent to
Grand Chief Arthur and Grand Master Sargent

AS to the matter of strike in Pittsburg the
nesting took no action SECRETARY Adams said

The sacrament Of rns Lord,s supper.

The sacrament OF the L0rd'8 supper
Rev Alexander Martin, D. D., president of
DePauw University. filed the pulpit of the
Backford-street Methodist Church yesterday
morning and preached to a large congregation
His subject was 'sThe Lords Supper" the sacra-
ment of the holy communion following the SER
mon and concluding the services. DR.. Martin
related many of the historical facts pertain inc
to that portion of the Bible describing the Lords
supper, an event so impressive as TO stamp it
which had been represented to the world in so
wonderful a manner by Raphaefs famous
painting. It was an event. also. which had al
wavs been regarded by Christians with an air
of the most profound respect and reverence.
The Lords supper took the place of the
Jewish Passover and its observance was OBJ
iigatory upon all Christians. Ii was not
optional. Christians should partake of it in
order to honor Christ and his cause. great
ness: between truth and error Christians
should show on which side they stood. The
New Testament enjoined but few ordinances.
The Jewish religion had enjoined many. The
two sacraments prescribed IN the New Tesla
ment were baptism and the Lords supper.
These were fundamental, and should be OBJ
served.
In conclusion the speaker impressed upon his
hearers the sacredness of the dufy of observing

a monument in memory of her soldier dead who
had given IN their lives for the Nation. in order
that their names and their glory m ght endure
