KANSAS STATE NEWS.
Needy Farmers.


The railroad commissioners have
made their first tour of examination
in the ten Kansas counties for which
money was appropriated to purchase
seed grain. 1t is estimated that 10000
bushels Of spring seed wheat will sup
ply those who stand in the most urgent
need. There were $40 applications for
aid to Judge Humphrey. After an ex-
animation he found only twenty who
were in need of aid from the state.
The commissioners reported the people
in better condition than they expected
to find them. In some cases the wheat
had gotten into the hands of money
lenders, who were demanding their
pound of flesh. These men furnish
the farmers with seed wheat under a
contract, which obligates the farmer to
give one-third of his crop in payment

Baton Rouge Advocate: At the re-
cent anti-lottery meeting in the Elev-
enth ward of New Orleans, Attorney
Kruttschnitt, of the Mexican lottery,
made q point against the Louisiana
lottery that pnder the proposed amend
ment it would pay back only S1,250. 900
a year to the people, while it took 3d.
100000 a year from the people. The at
tention Of Kruttschpitt is called to the
fact that under the present license law
of the state the liquor saloons pay back
only $780, 900 year for every s2,0OO,ooo
Jury doue to society. As d matter of
fact the revenue proposed to be paid by
the lottery to Louisiana has no parallel
for magnitude in the history of such
tributes paid by single corporation
into the public treasury of any govern

but their recent defeats in the election
of members Of the State Central Com
