FOOD Spelling IN CARS.
Gross llismanasement Of the Nebraska
Relief Commission.
Provisions Remain UndiStributed While
Piteous Appeals Continue to Pour
in From the Destitute.

OMAHA, Feb. ga Bee special from Lin
coin says: The Legislature has been COM
PEELED to recognize the complaints from all
parts of the State of the inactivity of the
State Relief Commission to distribute aid
to the destitute, and it is expected to take
measures at once to reorganize the COM
mission. The commission has made little
progress in distributing food, fuel and
clothing. The following report of q COM
mittee, composed of Captain W. HI. Hunter
and DIR. S. S. Sadler of Alma, Neb., to the
Legislature is sample of the way the con-
tributions are being lost:
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 3.-To-day we visited the
railroad-yards and were informed by the agent
that twelve cars loaded with supplies for the
destitute were then in the B. and NJ. yards and
about three carloads were in the freight depot,
besides what was then stored in other ware
houses. We proceeded to a building belonging
to Buckstaff Bros. There we found from state
ments made by the party in charge of said
building sixty carloads of supplies, which the
men in charge said had been there from one to
two weeks. The supplies were composed OF
-four, wheat corn, oats, cornmeal, beans, pota-
toes, kraut and large amount OF groceries and
clothing The potatoes, about one carload,
were frozen hard. The kraut was in barrels
some OF when were DufSted ana were leaking
badly. We were informed that one carload
had been shipped out of this warehouse on
January 80.
We then visited another warehouse owned
by Kendall & Smith. There we found two
carloads of supplies mostly clothing, a few
quarters of fresh beef, unsalted and packed
away with the other supplies. This lot
of supplies showed plainly that the
proper care and attention was not being
given them. We were informed by the B. and NJ
agent that no more free billing could be had of
his company, but on visiting the Union
Pacific freight depot we found that
company loading supplies on free billing
orders and that there was then in possession of
the Union Pacific Company one carload of sup
plies on the track in their yards and from
statements made to US by those in charge we
found seventy-seveh carloads in the hands of
the B. and NJ Company. The parties in charge
stated that their company was ready and will
ing to ship these supplies whenever ordered to
do so by L. p Ludden and with these unpreee-
dented circumstances existing hundreds of let
tiers are arriving from the West daily many of
them written in most heartrending language,
asking in the name of God and suffering hui
mainly that provisions may speedily reach
them and their destitute people.
