STARVING KANSAS.

KANSAS Cry, Jan. 2S.-lnformation
has been received in this city that many
of the people in Seward county, kas., are
on the verge of starvation. Appeals for
help have been sent to various places,
and yesterday letter was received at the
post office in this city, addressed to the
post master, that told OF horrible state
OF affairs in that county. The letter was
written by Mrs. James X. Richards, who
lives eleven miles west of West Plains.
She says that for some time past matters
have been growing worse with the peO-
pie OF that community, and those who
have been forced to remain are suffering
tor the necessities of life. MANY of us
have not sufficient food and only few
have enough clothes to hide our naked
ness"
There is no opportunity for them to
earn anything by labor, as there is nothing
to do, and no money to recompense them
out proper nourishment, and the mild
winter has been their salvation. The
writer makes plaintive appeal lor as
sistance
Seward county is one OF the portions OF
Kansas that has been afflicted with total
failures in crops, and many OF those who
had gone there with little money lost their
all. Too poor to leave, they were COM
PEELED to remlin and make an effort to
keep the wolf from the door. Little by
little their substance was consumed until
death stared them in the face. Without
food or clothes they were at last COM
PEELED to make appeal to the outside world.
