KANSAS EMANCIPATION.
A Resume of the State Bureaus Work
TO Date.
WICHITA, March "A, 1896

WICHITA, March Il, 1890
Since the Omaha meeting and the pro-
mitigation of the home-seekers' rate of
one fare for the round trip from the east
to Kansas, eastern, northern and south
ern people have sent in not only their
own names but the names of their friends
in such numbers that it has taken from
two to three clerks to enroll them. At
this time we have nine large books full
of names from all quarters of the union
and few in Europe.
Judge Z. B. Buck, president OF the
Immigration Bureau, said yesterday that
he never till yesterday, when he made a
careful investigation, dreamed that the
work could have so soon reached the
magnitude and Importance that it has,
or that in its incipiency it could have
provoked the interest and attention that
it has awakened. And in this connec-
ton | wish to state that any county that
desires evidence of the peoples anxiety
to come to Kansas and make a home,
and who believe Kansas is the very place
for them if what they have heard in tho
last few months Is true. can have the
same by visiting this Office. And l also
want to state that any auxiliary
of this state work can come
here and copy all the names
they desire. We cannot keep up with
the work Of enrolling the names that
are received here from parties wanting
TO know about Kansas. and of course it
would be impossible TO make another
list and send 10 all the counties that ap-
PLY for them in this way. but our books
and lists are free to all auxiliaries who
wish TO make lists from them. and in adj
dirion TO this there viii be issued TO each
auxiliary about once a week a large list
OF what NAV be called first class matter
in the way of applicaSions TO this office
/ for information. Thus It VIII be seen
J that the director 0f each county organ
/ ization viii have a fresh list once a week
( of all first class applications that are re
! ceived by the bureau. The director
should put a copy OF these lists into
/ every man hands IN the count that can
write
/ BY the proper handling Of these lists
/ in each county, by sending to the names
IN the lists good county write-upS in
/ your paper. and county pamphlets and
/ letters. every county in this organiza-
/ ton can have a stream Of people coming
+ into their county within sixty DAYS. Ii
! must be remembered that these names
! are Of people who are writing here for
/ reliable information about Kansas IN or
/ der that they may judge as TO the iesira-
/ biilty Of a home. II you give them the
/ attention they deserve. your bread viii
/ be cast upon the waters. Then. too. re-
! member that every other auxiliary has
/ the same list and the one that can be the
most graceful in the truth viii win the
prize.
ANY special localities that you may
want to cover. the bureau VIII do its Mt
/ most 70 give them 10 you. But owing
to the great amount Of work coming in
/ it would be safer for you To come and
( COPY them.
