STARVING TO DEATH.
Drought Caused the Crops to DO Almost a
Complete Failure.

Niobrara. Neb., December 23.--The suffer-
ing among the inhabitants of the drought
bliShted part Of Nebraska, including three
fourtns of the residents of five counties
is becoming more intense daily. and imme-
date steps alone can prevent many deaths
by starvation. Three years ago the farm
ers of these drought-blishted counties
raised very light crop, and the past two
years the crops have been almost total fail
ures. Many families have not enough pro-
visions i'm their homes for one weeks sus-
tenance, and no money to purchase the
necessities of life. Many of the merchants
here feel that they have aided the poor
farmers to the extent of their ability. and
are unable To do any more for them or to
sell them goods credit.
The sufferers cannot obtain employment
and unless they receive aid very soon, it
is the general opinion that many will
starve to death, and should the weather
turn very cold many will freeze to death,
