HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON THE
VERGE OF STARVATION.
CAUSED BY SEVERE DROUTHS,
The Losses on Cattle, the Principal In.
dustry, Estimated at 80 Per Cent
The Famine District Numbers
From $4,000 to 10000 People
Assistance Is Badly Needed
to Relieve Suffering.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 2O.-For
three years the counties of Starr,
Hidalgo, Encinal, Zapata and Duval
have been subjected to drought of
such severity as to render the produc-
ton of the necessaries of life impossi-
bic.
The season for planting this year
has passed and early crops having
been killed by frost there is no hope
for relief unless summer rains should
secure light fall crop.
The loss of stock, the depreciation in
value Of all kinds of property, the in.
ability of ranchmen to procure money
for the payment of taxes, the preva.
lence of smallpox through section ex-
tending through San Ignacio in Zapata
county, to Rio Grande City in Starr
county and the baleful effects of the
CARA revolution combined have pro
duced restitution hitherto unknown.
Some of the people are using the
meat of cattle who have died from dis
ease or starvation, and others are dry
ing the food for future use.
The losses on cattle, the principal in
dustry of this section, are estimated al
so per cent, and in Nueces county
alone 10000 head have died.
The famine district contains popu
latioh estimated at 49, 600 to 90, 900 PEG
pie, and probably one-quarter of this
number require assistance, while the
resources of the balance of the popula
ton are only adequate to MAINTAIN
themselves and families.
The people have appealed to tn,
state in vain, and another appeal
signed by the leading citizens and ad
dressed to the public has been pub
lished, asking for contributions of corr
and other supplies to be addressed t,
the Central Committee, Star county
care b. r. Monroe, county Judge.

They know that in your case there's

Wouldn't any one take such a

The only question is-a are you

If so, the rest is easy. You pay

POLITICAL MATTERS.
NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS IN
CONVENTION,

OMAHA, Neb., April lathe Demo.
cratic state convention for the selection
of delegates to the Chicago convention
met here yesterday. A motion to APP
point committee ON credentials inn
mediately precipitated lively contest
over the two delegations from Douglas
county, in which Omaha is located.
One delegation favored the election OF
Governor Boyd as delegate at large
to the Chicago convention and the 9TH
er delegation opposed him, preferring
Euclid Martin, Nebraska worlds fair
commissioner.
The convention at large was clearly
disinclined to take sides in the quarrel
and sat by quietly while the contesting
delegations overwhelmed the chairman
with motions, amendments and substi-
tutes until that gentleman was hope
lessly tangled.
After an hours contention the chair.
man made a ruling permitting the
Boyd delegation to vote and denying
that right to contesting delegates,
The convention then adjourned till
this morning to enable the credentials
committee to report.
The Nebraska Democracy favors
Cleveland's nomination but there is a
strong sentiment against instructing
the delegation to Chicago. Another
contest is anticipated for to-day
over resolution favoring the free
coinage of silver Congressman Bryan
has such resolution prepared and has
announced his intention of making a
speech in its support.
OMAHA, Neb,, April 15.-At 11;45
o'clock Chairman Batty called the con-
vention to order, and the committee on
credentials reported in favor of seating
the Boyd delegations from Douglass,
Cheyenne, Cumming and Hitchcock
counties, A motion to adopt the com
mittee report was carried by vote Of
300 to 81.
A resolution indorsing Cleveland and
instructing the delegates to the nation
al convention to vote for him was pre-
scented. An amendment was made
eliminating the instructions and the
resolution was then passed.
After the appointment of a commit
tee on resolutio MS the convention took
an hours recess.
Upon the conclusion of the reading
of the platform Congressman Bryan
offered resolution favoring the free
coinage of silver. Immediately there
was an uproar and the convention,
which had been unusually quiet during
the afternoon session, became tur-
bulent.
After a hot debate lasting three
hours the roll was called. The resolu-
ton was rejected by vote of 220 to
247. Gov. Boyd was selected to head
the delegation by a practical unani-
nous vote.
