 Four New Haven Olergymen Will Act as Agents to Receive Subscriptions.
 New Haven people have known of the terrible Restitution in famine-stricken Nebraska. and help in the way of cloth- ing and food was sent awhile ago. But it is not known how serious the situa- tion is there at the present time. The general impression has gone out that the 1 relief received would tide them over. But that is not the case, it is only drop in the bucket. The case is now brought before the people of New Haven by a representative direct from the suf- fering region, who is here, H. H. Bristol of Loup City, Washington township, sherman county, who brings regular accredited official documents as creden- tials, the main one of which we give as follows:
 Loup City, Neb., February 21, 1895.
 State of Nebraska,
 Sherman County, ss. To Whom it May Concern:
 We the undersigned, members of the Sherman county relief committee, and Louis Rein, county clerk of said coun- ty, do hereby certify that in consequence of the drouth of the year 1893, and the more severe drouth of the year 1894, the crops of all kinds have been total failure in Sherman county last year. That as a natural result great destitu- tion prevails among the farmers of this county, many being without the neces- saries of life and practically devoid of feed with which to keep their stock. That the farmers of this county must rely upon more fortunate fellow-men for seed and feed for the coming season. We further certify that for the purpose of securing seed and feed meetings have been held in the various townships and out of the members solicitors chosen to collect seed and feed. That H. H. Bris- tol Is the duly chosen and authorized solicitor from Washington township. That we are personally acquainted with him and know him to be trustworthy, and that his acts are entitled to credit All aid given to him will be properly distributed. Louis Rein, County Clerk, sherman
 County, Nebraska. w. T. Gibson, Chairman. J. Philip Jaeger
 John w. Long. A. Watkinson. George D. Hunter, Justice of Peace. Members of the Sherman County Gen. tral Relief Committee. There is also a certificate from the | town board of Washington township | and statement of 1894 products. The | famine-stricken region is 300 miles long | by 210 wide, and in it are a half million | people.
 Their great need is money and seed. | The former will go many times as far | out there as the same amount expended | for goods here while the railroads do | not now carry free. It will be carefully | distributed by an official and impartial | committee. MT. Bristol is a Litchfield | county man, going from Washington. He does not collect anything himself, but has arranged with Rev. T. T. Mun- ger, D. D., Rev W. L. Phillips, D. D, Rev. J. E. Twitchell, D. D., and Rev. Edwin M. Poteat to receive and for ward all money, which will be given direct to the central relief committee of sherman county. It is believed that New Haven people will respond generously to their stricken friends in Nebraska who are starving for food and have no feed for their stock
 MT. Bristol Is endorsed by Rev. Ma than H. Whittlesey, who says:
 April 3, 1895. To Whom it May Concern:
 MT. Horace H. Bristol was a near neighbor and schoolmate of mine in New Preston, Litchfeld county, Conn. I have every reason to believe that he is thoroughly reliable and trustworthy. His old neighbors in New Preston, Washington and Warren have full con- fdence in him. as is proved by their generous response to his appeal. l hope
