from the department clerks to the KAN

close yesterday. In all about $1,000 had
been raised Government clerks are

distributed ut the departments July /
In the meanwhile, the kansans en-
ployed in the departments had received
the Kansas City and Kansas daily
papers telling how the legislature aaa
assembled and adjourned without re-
lieving any part of the actual distress.
The first letters on receipt of this in-
formation were written yesterday ana
were received by J. H. Tufts, of the in
terror departing Mt, acting treasurer OF

Warmth and sunshine are greatly need
