RELIEF FOR FAMINE VICTIMS
Swedes of Nebraska Have Sent About
$1,000 TO the suffering
People.

The Swedes of Nebraska, through so
ciCty organized two months ago for the
purpose, have raised about 81 500 for the
people Of their native land who are suffer-
ing as the result Of crop failures last sum-
mer. Judge Stenberg, us head Of the So
ciety. is sending the money at the rate Of
1000 crowns per week to Sweden, where It
is received by the relief board created by
King Oscar. 1t is hoped that the money
can be sent al the same rate until July,
and there is enough in sight to make GER
tain that it can be sent at that rate for at
least two months from this time.
According to word received from Sveden
by Omaha parties, the greatest trouble is
not to care for the suffering people at This
time, but to save their live stock and
enough grain for seed. The center Of the
distress is the mining town Of Gallivara,
which is located several miles north of the
Arctic circle in a country which in ordi-
nary years produces enough grain and live
stock for the inhabitants but this grain
and live stock are of peculiar varieties, by
long cultivation adapted to the extreme
northern climate, the grain being quick to
mature and the cattle able to sUosist fer
the most part on the twigs of the trees
which cover the northern peninsula and the
mosses which cover the ground. They reed,
however, a certain amount of hay and this
has completely failed 1t Is feared that II
the seed and the stock is consumed be-
tween now and the making of the next crop
It will be almost impossible to arclimatize
other grain and other stock to the country,
and for this reason the royal board desires
to supply the people of the stricken dis
trict with provisions until they can pass
another harvest.
Omaha has raised about $4,000 OF the fund
in the hands Of the local society and Chi
cago has contributed about $4,000 to the
relief fund. The total amount sent from
the United States up to this time is ebouT

ILL HEAL TIL
Turks IN
POND,

A petition to the board of health
is being circulated among citizens
living in the neighborhood Of Fifth
avenue and Sherman street asking
that a large pond of water which oc-
cupies about half block at the IN
tersection of those streets be drained
Mr.. Bishop of the Bishop Grocery
company regarding this nuisance said
today:
I'VE have called the authorities
attention to this menace to public
health time and again. We are going
to make a determined effort now to
have something done and we want
The Press to help us.
The pond is an eyesore not alone
to residents of this community, but
to all passengers on the cars going
to Liberty Park. 1t is used as a cess
pool by residents living along its
borders. 1t is covered by a green
scum and emits an offensive odcr.
If not drained, 1t will certainly be
the cause of typhoid fever in this
neighborhood.
The pond Is about eight feet deep
and Of quite large dimensions, plain
ly visible from the car line. All visi-
tors to Liberty Park must pass II
and inhale the odors which 1t emits.
1t should be removed as a matter of
public pride as well as of public
health"
