AN APPEAL FOR AID,

WELLINGTON, Kan, June 1.-[Special. ]
Mayor j. c. Thompson Of Wellington,
chairman Of the relief committee. issued
the following appeal for aid today:
WELLINGTON, Kan, June l, 1892
To the Public:
1t becomes our painful duty to make
public appeal in behalf of the stricken
community which we officially represent.
Through fear of doing injury to the busi-
ness interests of our city, Oh the one hand,
and through hope Of finding that the ca
lamity was not so great as was at first
supposed, on the other hand, we have de-
ferred this appeal for aid too long.
We are now painfully conscious that
our worst apprehensions have been
more than realized. The awful storm of
last Friday night, May 27th, proved to be
the most appalling and disastrous in the
history OF the state. Under cover of total
darkness, IN moment, in the twinkling
Of an eye, sixteen whole blocks of our city
were laid in utter ruin, with the frightful
loss of life and limb aud irreparable dam
age to property. And to add to the horror,
three nights of drenching rain have follow
ed the tornado, destroying exposed goods
and household furniture, adding a loss Of
nearly one-half to the first disaster and
threatening US with widespread sickness
The bankrupted and homeless and
wounded people were at first undauuted in
courage and not mUrmur was heard
But as these people look out upon the sad
ruins and sit down upon the crumbled
stones where but yesterday stood their
happy homes, and begin to realize that
business, and home with all its sacred
treasures and keepsakes, are gone forever
and that their loved ones are among
the dead or manned for life, the strongest
heart grows faint and often breaks.
side. Discouragement and depression
and the insecurity of the future are
preying upon th- minds and hearts of
many. In this emergency we cannot do
otherwise than appeal for aid. We APP
peal to the people of our own city who
have not suffered loss. We appeal to
the citizens of Sumner county VINO SO
many times and in so many ways have
been befrienGed bv those who are today
homeless and destitute. We appeal to
men residing at a distance who have bus
mess interests here TO help save their own
interests and ours. We appeal to the
generous hearts of all men everywhere
who may read this recital OF our mis-
fortune.
With your prompt assistance this brave
and grateful people will rise and rebuild
lars Of aid now would accomplish more
than many thousands at n more distant
day. Such prompt aid wou,d save home
and occupation TO many, but above all it
would rekindle courage aud hope. We
need money most of all. but would be
grateful tor anything of value, especially
household furnishing.
With a painful sense of our great ex-
tremity, we now commit our cause TO the
generosity of d sympathetic public.
]. c. THOMPSON,
Chairman of Relief Committee.

RAILWAY NOTES.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The annual meeting
Of the stock holders of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway company was
held here to-day. The present board of di-
rectors and officers were reelected. The
twelfth annual report of the board of di-
rectors for the fiscal year ended March 81,
1872, showed that the total gross earning IS
were SIS, 800, ,075, against $l7, 413 634 for the
previous fiscal year. Operating expenses
and taxes amounted to Sl3 l47, ,056 an in
crease of S73S. .353, while the net earnings
were S543 0lS. All increase OF S4o3, ,179. The
net receipts for land sold were $4,000, and
the interest received from the Chicago,
Kansas and Nebraska railway wes $50, 200,
making the net income 81, 962, 2l9. The
surplus for the year was S5iS, ,557.
CHICAGO, June 1.-The Western Passeu-
ger association has been in session all day,
trying to elect chairman. There had
been no caucusing or informal voting in
advance OF the meeting, and consequently
the members assembled without much
knowledge of one another's preferences.
When the first ballot was counted it
showed that about d dozen different men
had been voted for As Ii unanimous vote
is neces -ary to elect, the outlook for an
early settlement OF the question is regard
ed as anything but encouraging. Twenty
three ballots were taken during the morn
ing. The last one showed IA votes for
George w. Rstine, late manager OF the
Erie Dispatch, and for J. \. Fathorn,
the present chairman of the Southwestern
Railway Passenger association. At the
afternoon session twenty ballots were
taken, and then. as there seemed to be no
prospect of an election, an adjournment
was taken till tomorrow afternoon. On
the last ballot votes were cast for Ris-
tine and II for j. r. Buchanan, general
passenger agent of the Sioux City and Pa
citic road.
There are those who think that Bu-
chanan will be elected. On the other hand
not II few are of the opinion that the final
choice will be between Ristine and Fai-
thorn and that the one who is defeated will
simply be reserved for the Craftsmanship OF
the Tr tnsmssouri association.
Little doubt now exists that the Atchi
son will put into effect its notice of
reduction in the second class rate from
the Missouri river to California points to
Sl470 The condition on which they
agreed to cancel the notice WAS that all
the presidents of all other transcontinental
lines should sign a paper abolishing the
payment of commissions in excess of an
amount proyid.d. The association presi-
idents were given until today to sign this
pledge, and only one or two have done so.
This indicates that the reduced rate will
become effective on June 10Th.

A Difference.

The great difference between the sig.
nifcation of words and terms in TIE
English tongue which are almost the
same in etymology and origin is a great
element of difficulty to foreigner who
is learning the language. Some cases of
actual occurrence will illustrate this
fact:
A German, who applied to New
York house for employment, recon-
mended himself thus:
"The capacity in which I like best
to earn my living, and the one in which
am most able, is that of confidence
man"
He meant confidential man." and his
mistake was rather alarming to those
to whom he wrote.
One Of the worst cases of the kind On
record is that in which young French
man, wishing to fatter an American
lady, wrote to her:
Il wish greatly that once more could
gaze on your unmatched eyesr'
He did not discover the great differ
ence between unmatched" and match
less" until he found out that the lady,
who was ''just cross eyed enough to te
interesting" rad been deeply offended
by his compliment.-Youths CoInpan-

THE STRIP TREATY.

TAHLEoUAH. June 1.-C. j. Harris,
| principal chief of the Cherokee Nation,
returned yesterday afternoon from Wash
ington, where he was called by the Chero-
kee delegation on important business two
weeks ago.
In answer to the question as to what the
prospects were for the ratification of the
strip sale, made by the Cherokee commits
sion and officials of the Cherokee nation
last fall, he said:
''The treaty as agreed upon by our peo-
pie and the Cherokee commission is yet in
the hands of the subcommittee on Indian
affairs, who are investigating the clause
requiring the United States to remove all
intruders, and on account of the absence OF
Chairman Platt of that committee no
report will be made inside Of eight or ten
days. When Mr.. Platt returns he Will
make final report TO the committee on
Indian affairs as to the finding of his COM
mittee, and the agreement will then go
before congress for its action. Mr.. Piatt
does not question the title of the Chero-
KEGS to the strio. and told me he thought
that congress would ratify the agreement
and remove all inGruders from the Chero-
kee nation.
''The depleted condition of the United
States treasury seems TO be the only
trouble, as an appropriation Of ever IS, ,O0J,
GOO will have to be made TO pay Us for the
strip as part of the agreement now pend
ing ratification"
In answer to the question as to the dis
patch from Muskogee, |. t., several days
ago stating that the Cherokee delegation
was about TO make deal with the claim
ants Gntruders) to take land on the strip
as a compromise, Chief Harris said
''There has been no such compromise en-
tertained by the Cherokee delegates at
Washington. Mr. Hubbard, who is there
the intruders before congress,
made some such proposition, but OF course
our delegates would not agree to such a
thing. The report was a malicious false
hood, sent out for no other purpose than
to create the impression at Washington
and elsewhere that the Cherokees recog-
nized them us having some rights here,
when we know they have not. The papers
hat published this false report will do the
Cherokees but simple justice to correct it"
Chief Harris further stated that he be-
ieved that the strip sale would be ratified
Dy the present congress and the land
opened TO settlement some time this sum-
mer or fall.

Few counties report insects of any kind.
The damage to the crop from excessive
rains has been less than was expected.
The indications are that the harves5 will
