LONDON, Jan. est is said that
the rheumatism from which Queen
Victoria suffers has been Of late very
troublesome, and that the variations OF

THE ELOOD-DRlNkERS,
Healthy Folks Bleed in Order to Cure
Those TINT Are sick.


KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2S-For some
time rumors Of the existence of new
religious sect, which has gained a foot
hold in the territory adjacent to the
Blue River, just east of Kansas City.
have been afloat and they have reached
the cars of the police. The secretary
OF tho Humane Society recently re-
ceivcd letter from Il man living in
that neighborhood telling him that if
the authorities did not interfere the
people would take the matter into their
own hands.
According to the reports the practices
of tho sect were founded upon the Bib
lical injunction to do good to the sick
but this in junction had been carried to
such an extent that the sect had degen-
Grated into band of bloodsuckers-
those who were we'll allowing them
selves to be bled for those who were i'll.
Ohhcer Marran,s investigation Of tho
matter proved that the letter to Secre-
tary Hucl1ett had not told half of the
horrible practices in vogue among the
people who believed in the savage rites
The band of SamaritanS is composed
OF about 20 mem bers. who old regular
weekly meetings at the houses of the
different members. AT these meetings
the sick or ailing ask for assistance
from the we'll, and they are detailed to
give their blood according to their
health and strength. When IL member
becomes very sick the we'll ones take
turns in supplying him with the life
giving fluid. They claim that they
have right to do this when tho blood
Is voluntary contribution, the same as
physicians have the right to transfuse
blood from one person to another.

One farmer, who expressed the be-
lief that he was much better off than

thing to eat-hominy and Il little pork.
1t won't last long, and we have to be
careful Of tho coal; but the worst is the
stock. We have not got thing to feed
tho horses and cattle. Can't sell
them. Can't feed them. Stock is
going to die by the thousands unless
We get something for them. We won't
have horses to pillow with in tho spring;
