EFFECT OF A DROUGHT.
Reports of Distress Among Settlers in Wheat
Producing Sections.

3IVVuC3A6 cCCLiuuos
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The Farmers Review
says: A severe drought prevails over a
large section of the wheat-producing States.
Illinois is suffering most severely. Reports
from ninety counties of that State show
that only twenty have even fair water
supply.
A special dispatch from Denver says re-
ports from Eastern Colorado tell Of much
suffering among the settlers, caused by
drought. Many are on the verge of starva-
ton.
Governor Steele Of Oklahoma, who is now
in this city. says there is great restitution
among many people in Oklahoma and relief
is necessary. The trouble dates back to the
boomer days, when people dissipated their
means trying to get into the territory before
it was opened. The bad crops last season
added to the trouble.
BISMARCK IN. Dak.), Dec. 30.-Thus far
this winter the mercury has not dropped to
the zero mark. Farmers are blowing in
their fields all winter, and the Oldest settlers
fail to recall a similar instance in the history
of the Missouri Slope. The men wear straw
hats and linen coats without feeling uncom-
Portable. and the ladies on the street find use
for their Daras0lS.
