AN APPEAL FROM NEBRASKA.
Tho Situation Described by a Relief
Committee.

Tho sufferers in Nebraska have sent
out the following appeal and state
ment OF the condition Of the people in
the stricken counties. This committee
has its headquarters at Galloway, the
point at which tho Weekly Tribune
was published and from which OK
tracts were recently made. The
committee are acting for eight town
ships in Custer County:
CALLAWAY, Mob, Feb. 18th, 1895.
TO the Editor Of The Mountaiueer
Our attention has been directed to
the kindly feeling manifested by the
people OF your State toward the desti-
tute people OF tho drOuth- h-stricken por-
tion of Nebraska, and we hope you will
notice in your columns the accompany
ing appeal made by our Relief COM
mitteo. Tho situation has been some,
what modified since the article was
written. We have now two or three
weeks food for the starving ahead :;
still it is a long time until harvest,
and we have yet much to contend with.
We do not know exactly how you can
help us, for you are a long way Off,
and we hear that the railroad com.
panies are imposing restrictions on
free transportation.
Money we have not hitherto asked :;
our wants are primarily something to
eat. We think we have clothing
enough in sight and will not ask for
more. LASTLY, we need means to OBJ
tain seed. We have very limited
supply OF money on hand, not enough
to use for paying transportation
charges on one carload, If shipped
from long distance. We fear the
new railroad arrangements will se-
verely cripple us in feW weeks time.
We will need further supplies OF pro-
visions, and, while we know the peo-
pie will readily respond to u call for
clothing and food, yet the freight
problem still confronts US. 1t may be
that by local influence you can secure
! free transportation.
For the purpose OF securing seed we
have determined to solicit money to be
used In two distinct ways, at the dis
erection Of the donors. The first will
be to buy seed and donate direct to far
! mers; the second for the benefit OF
/ those who do not believe in giving or
receiving charity without any roturn,
| but who believe in what IL called
practical charity" is this To es-
tablish system OF loaning seed to far
mers, taking security for the amount
! loaned, protecting and collecting the
/ debt as promptly and as efficiently as
III the money wore placed with us tc
be used as an actual Investment, BY
| this means we hope TO be able to re-
turn to the donors at the end of the
/ year the amount advanced with little
| Ii any loss.
III any OF your readers can spare &
little money for these purposes, IL may
be sent to tho Omaha National Bank

ROBBED AND MURDERED.
Killed While Asleep and Alone in
Her Home.

Killed While Asleep and Alone in
Her Home.
The Augusta Chronicle gives the
following account of the foul murder
of a maiden lady near Alendale, Barn
we'll County:
Robbed and murdered while alone in
her home tells the story of the sad and
renee met at Allendale, S. c., fifty
miles below Augusta, on the Port
Royal and Augusta Railroad sometime
before the dawn of day on Wednesday
morning.
The murder is one of tho most shock
ing and horrible crimes ever com
mittcd in Carolina, and from gentle
man who received letter from there
The Chronicle learned the following
particulars Of the robbery and murder.
Miss Lawrence was an unmarried
lady about 40 years of age, highly con-
nec:ed, and lived by herself in home
is known as Old Allendale Wednes-
day morning early she was found lying
dead in her bed room on the floor with
her skull crushed in. The walls were
Spattcrcd and stained with her life's
blood, and it was one OF the saddest
and most horror stricken pictures to
behold. IT could hardly be thought
possible that there was so heartless
and abandoned person living who
would or could perpetrate such a
dastardly deed.
The ncws OF the murder spread rapid
ly through the ncighborhood, which
is rather densc!y populated for the
country, and the community was great
ly shocked and thrown into state of
wild excitement. 1t is believed Miss
Lawrence was murdered between mid
night and day ybreak, but by whom is a
mystery and no clue as yet has been
had which would possibly lead to the
detection OF the guilty parties, but no
stone will be left unturncd to bring
the murderer to Justice. A posse OF
citizens was Immediately organized
and men are searching tho woods in
hopes OF finding the foul fugitive.
Blood hounds have been put on the
track. The supposition is that robbery
was tho prime motive.
1t is known that Miss Lawrence
three days ago went to Allendale and
drew her money out OF the bank and
carried it homo with her. The amount
is not known, but it is said to have
been considerable sum. Doubtless
the murdcrers saw her with the money
when she drew it from the baLk, or
subsequently,, and they watched her
and waited for the first opportunity
under the cloak of night to make the
attack which resulted in the murder.
Miss lawrence was relative OF the
family OF the late Rev. A. Broadus
Estes, now living in Washington City,
and they arc coming on to the funeral.
She is also connected with the family
OF Mr.. S. G. Lawton, of Allendale.
1t is hoped that the murderers will
be caught, and If they should happen
to be apprehended woe be unto their
merciless souls.

lionaire banker, George w. Williams,
Jr., and In the evening at dinner at

BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLES UNION.
Coming Convention Fraught with
Importance TO the South.


Importance TO the South.
In discussing the convention of the
Baptist Young Peoples Union OF Amer
lea, Mr.. II. II. Edmounds, editor of
the Manufacturer Record, who is
member of the local executive commit
tee, says
The full meaning OF the great con-
vention OF the Baptist Young Peoples
Union, to be hold in Baltimore next
July, is probably not appreciated as
yet by many people. Looked at out
side entirely OF the influence which it
is calculated to have upon this great
denomination, which has an active
membership OF about 100000 in the
United States, there is u still broader
import in this convention in relation to
the country at large. The members
Of the Baptist Young Peoples Union
OF America are mainly tho active
younger members OF this denomination,
although there is no restriction as to
age, and many OF the most prominent
older men in the denomination are ac-
tive workers in the organization. The
plan OF the Union and its aim are to
Inspire greater zeal and enthusiasm
in religious work in the rising genera
tion OF Baptists throughout the cOun-
try. The important feature of the
convention in Baltimore as relates to
the country at large, however, is the
influence that it will have in bringing
about better acquaintanceship on the
part OF the people OF all sections, and
the breaking down OF sectional lines
that have to some extent parated
the various denominations as we'll AS
the various, sections OF the country.
The gathering in Baltimore will be
composed OF the active leaders in the
denomination from every part OF the
country, North, South, East and West,
as we'll as from Canada.
"There is already au assurance of
at least $4,000 delegates being in at
tendance, which will be the largest
Baptists gathering ever held in the
world. Letters received by the Baiti-
more committee show that OF the
thousands who will come from She ia.
North and Northwest and Canada
there are very many who are entirely
ignorant of the Southern section OF our
country OF its attractions and advan.
tages, and who, when they come To

Special dispatches to the Manu-
facturcrs Record show that the State
OF Mississippi has produced a surplus
of corn, and that for the first time in
in it's history corn ii being shipped to
the West-Kansas City buyers now

reported to be fifty cents per bushel.
One Mississippi dispatch says, "Our
best farmers can average fifty bushels
per acre. Corn can be raised here at
cost of II cents per bushel and at rs
cents it would pay better than cotton
at cents per pound. If we can get
elevators at the railroad stations this
section will raise corn instead of cot
