THE NEBRASKA SUFFERERS.

A Letter from J. M. Stout, a Former Citizen of Montgomery County.

THE JOURNAL has received the following letter from J. M. Stout, at Arborville, Nebraska, which shows the condition of the people in his part of the State. Mr. Stout formerly resided in the Wesley neighborhood and is known to be a man of the strictest integrity. T. II. B. Sands, whom he mentions in the letter, is his brother-in-law, and formerly lived in the vicinity of Garfield. THE JOURNAL therefore makes an appeal to their old neighbors and friends to send them aid. By a little exertion on the part of the people in both neighborhoods by working together they could easily make up a car load of grain and old clothing, pay the charges and send it to them. Remember he gives thrice who gives quickly. Mr. Stoutsays:

As I see you take an interest in our drouth-stricken people I wish to inform you of the true state of affairs. I received a letter fromSupt. Zuck asking about it. I told him the condition of things as near as I could. We have good, honest farmers here who have nothing to keep them from this time on. They have no seed for the Spring sowing, and the outlook is dark, sure. If you can give any aid I assure you that it will be gratefully received. But the one difficulty is that there is no money to pay the freight on anything, and so if you send anything pay the freight. You can send whatever you want to myself and T. H. B.

Joseph Stith died Thursday a. m. of complications at his home in the north end. The deceased was about seventyfive years old and had resided here for many years.

Mr. Stith leaves a wife and three children, one son, Joseph, and two daughters, Mrs. Marion Alston and Mrs. W. C. Gilliland. Mr. Stitb was born in Boone county, but was a child when he came here. Crawfordsville at that time was a village with no railroads and the deceased for some time drove the stage coach.

Sands,

and we will see that they are properly distributed. We have a State committee at Lincoln, but they don't know anything about the destitution here. Will be very glad to hear from you.

THE JOURNAL would suggest that Joel Stout and W. F. Remley, at Wesley, and Asa Pickerill and Ed Griest.at Garfield, get together and set the ball in motion. They will have no trouble in securing all the assistance they require.

BURNED OUT.

The Residence of Tim Cagey Destroyed by Fire and the Family Narrow scape.

The handsome residence of Tim Casey, the well-known brickyard man, was destroyed by fire at an early Thursday morning. The residence was located on the road beyond the Sperry bridge about a mile. At 4 o'clock the family was awakened to find that the house was on fire and beyond hopes of saving. Each one hastily grabbed their clothes and fled out into the cold, where the neighbors received them and hurried them to shelter. The residence was completely destroyed, and only a small portion of its contents was saved. The origin of the fire is unknown. There was $800 insurance in the Royal, but this does not begin to cover the loss.

Death of Joseph Stith.

FOULLY MURDERED.

The Son of James Whitely Slain at the Park Theater in St. Louis.

Special to The Journal. NEW Ross, Jan. 31.—Mrs. Janie Whitely received word this morning from her son in St. Louis, telling of the brutal killing of his son, William. He, accompanied by his small brother, went to the Park theater Thursday night, and when the play was over they went out upon the street to wait for a street car. While waiting four men came up to him and one hit him a heavy blow over the eye, crushing the skull. He fell unconscious and was dragged to a house near by, when they found they had struck the wrong man. They compelled the younger brother to stay with him till morning and then made off. Medical aid was summoned but to no avail. He lingered till Sunday in an unconscious condition and died. He was twenty-six years old and unmarried. The murderer was soon captured and is now in jail. Mr. Whitely, the father, is the son of Janie Whitely, of this place, and is a hard working man. Only a few months ago he went West where he has been quite successful. There are quite a number of relatives living here and they have our sympathy.

GAS INSPECTOR WILL GO.

Many Memorials Presented In Bavor mt tlie Nicholson Bill—Private Electric Light Lobby in Force at the Capital.

Special to The Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31.—The House to-day passed the bill to abolish the office of Gas Inspector. The gas belt Representatives made the aigument that the false reports of this officer had driven millions of capital out of the State.

The bill to create steam boiler in spectors created a warm discussion in the House this morning,

The House was flooded with numerous memorials this morning in favor of the passage of the Nicholson bill, and the bill to provide for teaching temperance in the public schools. It is said that there are thirty Republicans in the House who will vote against the Nicholson bill.

The Governor has not ordered a a special election to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Senator Thayer, of Wabash and Kosciusko. The election would cost $4,000, and his successor would serve but three weeks.

The private electric light companies have a big lobby here and will try to secure the passage of a bill to prevent towns and cities from selling to private consumers.

The Joint Prison Committee will go to Jeffersonville to-morrow to make an investigation of the affairs of the Prison South,

FOR THE NICHOLSON BILL.

A Quartette of Our Citizens Are Before the Temperance Committee Arguing for Local Option.

A few days ago Dr. R. J. Cunningham was in Indianapolis and made an appointment with Representative Nicholson, of Eokomo, chairman of the Committee on Temperance, when the committee should listen to arguments in favor of the proposed law, called the Nicholson* bill. Thursday afternoon, in accordance with appointment, there went before the committee four of our leading citizens, Dr. Cunningham, A. F. Ramsey, Dr. H. A. Tucker and Judge A. D. Thomas. They will argue for the passage of the bill as first drafted which includes the local option section. There seems to be a general uprising all oyer the State in favor of the bill, and if the good people keep up the pressure long enough and hard enough, it may go through in spite of the politicians, at east this is the opinion of T. H. Ristine, who was a member of the House a few years ago.

They assure us, however, that allathe subscribers will be served in a very short time and that they will receive the Friend for a full year.

The Alfrny Heading Factory To Bo Removed From This City 111 a Few Weeks.
