responses are coming to the proclamation Of

by Nebraskans-
Gov. Thayer has received letter from Gov.
Merriam Of Minnesota stating that the millers'
organizations there had raised l. GOO 600 pounds
OF four for Russian sufferers. The latter snc-
gests that as the Russian charge d'affaires bss
agreed to charter a steamer TO take the sun
plies across the ocean, Nebraska join vifh
Minnesota in making up ship load.
Gov. Thayer is in hearty accord with the idsa
that q ship load be made up from q few vestern
states, but as the naval department has mid
that Nebraska and Minnesota can have ths
frigate Constellation to take the supplies IN al
Petersburg free OF expense the governor thinks
that to be the better way Of shipment

tiou from this country 60 a free Offering ~.

All Sin wears upon the Japanese fans
with which you decorate your room,

hair the hat is becoming, but let others
