Omaha. Xeb.. Nov. :<». The dostitn

to aid the suffering farmers. The fol-
lowing appeal was issued by Mayoi
Demis, of Omaha, yesterday:
Information has conn* to no* within Un* past
few clays, from the most reliable ^• *or• • • inur
gentlemen of integrity, who speak from actual
observat ion, that the suffering umonj.' the la rul-
ers in the drought stricken districts of out
state is exceedingly severe*. Fumbles are on
the verge of starvation: mothers have nothinn
in which to wrap their babes and have no cloth-
ing for themselves except dresses made from
gunny sacking, underwear and shoe- areal-
most unknown and fuel Is a luxury only to be
dreamed of. One of mv informants, a clergy-
man. informs me that he hits partaken of
meals among these farmers where the greenr
of potato tops and mouldy bread constitu-
ted the only food. I am fully aware that
there Is a great deal of suffering amont;
our own people, but 1 ltelievc our citi-
zens should make a special effort to ex-
tend all possible assistance to the sufferer*
in our state outside the city. It would he a III
ting manner of giving thunks for the blessing?
we have received for our citizens to contribute
towards relieving the sufferings of those peo-
ple. What is needed is clothing of all kind?

St. Pktkksbuku, Nov. 30. The popu
iarity of the czar increases daily*. Noth
ing has done mi much to popularize
him as his unaffected ways and the fact
that he is disposing with the military
police body-guards of the palace. Ilis
order withdrawing’ the troops from
the line of route upon his wedding
day has produced a good effect.
The crowds wore unable to believe
that they* would be allowed to stand
and witness the procession without
the invariable hedge of soldiers and
when they saw this was a fact the pop-
ulace were frantic with delight and ex-
pressed their satisfaction in a thousand
ways. There is no doubt that a marked
change has taken place everywhere in
St. Petersburg life in consequence oi
the czar’s admirable policy.

Elmira, Cal., Nov. 30.—When freight
train No. 8 arrived at the depot the
engineer discovered reinnantsof human
bodies on his locomotive and an in-

makes idle money profitable by increasing its
purchasing power and suspends productive

Whereas. The spoliation consequent upon
the outlawry of silver in the interest of the

value "t gold, is undermining all Industrial so-

Intimations That the Government Will Re-

Washington, Nov. 39.—There was a
strong intimation at the department of
justice yesterday that the Cross mur-
der eases would he taken up again very
soon by the government. So far the
government has spent over $200,000
prosecuting these cases. It was sup-
posed that the whole matter had been
dropped, but it appears that proceed-
ings are to he started again.
It will he recalled that Mr. Gross,

functions of the government.

secretary concludes a review of the in-
spection of export and interstate meat
with the recommendation that the law
providing for the same may he so
amended as to compel the owners of
the meat inspected to pay the cost of
inspection. If, he argues, the inspec-
tion widens the market, thus en-
hancing the price of this property,
they, as tho direct pecuniary bene-
ficiaries, should agree to pay for it.
The inspection of animals received
in the United States has been contin-
ued in Great Britain, and it was hoped,
that having demonstrated there is no
danger of introducing contagious dis-
eases, the result would he the revoca-
tion of the British restrictions upon
our cattle trade. More than two years
have passed without any development
of any pleuro-pneumonia, or other dis-
