APPEAL TO P0PULISTS
For the Lease Home Fund.

The following contributions have been
received tor the fund recently started,
which is being raised by the Representa-
tive for the purpose Of purchasing home
for Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, Of Kansas,
who has been ruthlessly deprived OF the
shelter for her children, by money-lending
corporation, for one-half the amount loaned
upon it, and a judgment obtained for the
remainder, which they propose to use in
following her up to reduce her to absolute
want. Her offense is the eloquent advo-
cacy of Populist principles l ask every
lover Of justice and fair play to send his
contribution to me at Hastings, Mimi. and
l will see that the money Is acknowledged
in this paper, and scrupulously applied to
the purpose designated I also call upon
all Populist newspapers throughout the
country to give notice to their readers of
the movement, and request their subscrib-
ers to contribute to the fund.

If there is an omission. 20 give due credit
write me at once.
This list will be kept standing, and added
to from week to week. until enough has
been secured to purchase the home and
put in the hands Of trustees, SO that Mrs.
Leases creditors cannot get it or seize
upon the pots and pans and kettles
therein.
Let US show the world that Populists
can be as grateful to those who help them
as are the plutocrats. If we can make
this movement a success it will be an
honor to every Peoples party man in the
state and In the United States. Let each
friend of reform send in as much as ne
can spare. 1GNAI1OS DONNtALA'
