APPEAL FOR HELP.
Frederick Donglas Asks Aid For
Southern storm Sufferers.

Frederick Douglas Asks Aid For
Southern storm Sufferers.
CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-THE following
card. signed by Frederick Douglas, ap-
pears in the morning papers:
1T is hoped by the undersigned that
the cyclone which ragged along the
Southern coast Aug. 20 has not been
forgotten. 1t was among the most ter
rible visitations which has at any time
afflicted any part of our common
country. Nowhere was its destructive
along the coast of South Carolina.
Here, from all accounts, the consequent
destruction and desolation was great
est. In the neighborhood of Beaufort
fully 400 lives were lost, and the re-
naming inhabitants have, in an hour,
seen their houses, their crops and their
property washed and swept away, leav-
ing them foodless and shelterless
and liable to starvation. The cry from
that quarter for help Is most pitiful.
On behalf of the sufferers am moved
to make this appeal for immediate
help. These people need money, food
and clothing, and all who can do so are
urged most earnestly to respond at
once to this call for help. Contribu-
tions can be sent to Robert Snalls of
Beaufort, S. c. In no hands could they
be placed with greater safety of being
promptly and faithfully distributed to
the needy. In case of this kind no
lengthy appeal need be made. The
calamity is trumpet tongued and
speaks for itself, and humbly ask that
these few words of mine may find q
place in tne press of the country with
out distinction of party"

Swarms of Wasps.

LONDON, Sept IL. perhaps the
straagest pesv that ever afflicted the
farmers of England is the immense
horde OF wasps that have appeared dur

towns and country districts the insects
have become SO numerous that it has
been found necessary to employ men to
destroy the nests, and the surveyor of
the corporation of Hythe reports that
one man destroyed over 1870 nests in a
single day.

widowed mother to Day county in 1884.
-Four years ago.he made Il profession of

right, consistent life among the young
people OF Webster, all of whom bear tes-
tlmony to his sterling worth aud integ.

reason he left the High School where he
would have finished with the class of93.
to attend Union College in Lincoln, Ne

lie was a young man of bright promise
full of energy and purpose. AT the time
Of ais death he was selling books to pro-
cure funds to help him in his studies.
In this stroke of Providence the

decsase are few: He stopped on the
srtesian we'll lake outside Redfeld to
battle. stepped suddenly beyond his
depth into eternity. There was no one
near to help; but the pony tied Leside
the road and his clothes on the shore
told their sad story, and the body was
soon recovered and cared for by the
