both feet badly mashed in printing

removed and the other great toe is
the one likely to require amputation.
The boy will be made permanent
cripple as the result of his unfor-
tunate accident. The matter is made
all the more unfortunate by the fact
that the boys mother, Mrs. Charles
Stephens. is victim of paralysis
from the waist down and is powerless
to move from place to place except

allow the circulation of petition for
the relief of Kansas food sufferers
in the pension bureau. The governor
says lie has travelled over the Kaw
valley from Kansas City to Topeka
and believes the suffering has not
been exaggerated. He says that Kan
sas cannot properly care for the des-
titute and that Mr.. Ware was wrong
in refusing to allow the employees
of his denartment to contribute.
The following dispatch in relation
to the matter came from Washing
ton: Commissioner Wares bulletin
prohibiting the taking of a collection
for the Kansas flood sufferers in the
pension Office has created decided
sensation in the Kansas colony. In
an interview Mr.. Ware said: II don't
know anything more about the col
lection than that persons were going
about the pension Office asking
money to relieve Kansas. l stopped
the passing of the hat in my depart
ment. Kansas is abundantly able to
take care of her own. There are
100000 on deposit in Kansas banks.
The people are rich and don't have to
pass the hat. l have no objection to
those who come from Kansas sending
money home. That is perfectly right
