"Uncle Tom's Cabin"' was given
to the public at a time when ail civi
lized humauity were hesitating be
tween their prejudices aud their es
tablished modes of though and the
growing conviction felt m their in
uermoat heart that slavery was all,
wroug. One result was the testi
inony of many colored persons and
fugitive slaves who said to Mrs.
Stowe, "since that book has come out
everybody is good to us." We find
mends everywhere. "It's wonder
ful how kiud everybody is.'"
In England many demonstrations
were made by anti-slavery societies,
many addresses were presented the
author, and even when the civil war
was initiated the workingmen of
Euglaud did not lend themselves to
any popular movement which would
go to crush the oppressed in Ameri
ca, although this war brought hard
ship to their very door.
Among the noble ladies of Eng
land the book had many fervent ad
mirers. It is a significant fact
that the quten of England, in con
currence with Prince Albert,
steadily resisted every attempt to
enlist the war like power cf Euglaud
against the Northern States. In
fact the appearance of this work
developed the latent sentiment
against slavery, aud was a potent
factor iu enlisting men in the ranks
of those actively engaged in sup
pressing it.

complain of hard times, when any
woman or man can make from 5 to

the wonderful success of the Climax

think we can't make money selling
it: but anyone can because every
family wants one. I made 47S.3rt

FEKISHKI) FROM COLD.
j Terrible Destitution Reported in
j Western Nebraska.
Iliuitlreils Without FuL Twelve Per
sons Saul to Have Been Frozen
to Death.
I
Denver. Col., Dec. 30 Dispatches j
from Western Nebraska received
here tell of the destitution and dis
tress prevailing among the inhabit
ants of the drought stricken districts
A dispatch from Hastings says:
"Terrible destitution exists in
Perkius, Chase, Dundy, Lincok,
Hayes, Hitchcock aud Frontier coun
ties and the worst of the feature is
the people iu several localities are
afflicted with scurvey for want of
wholesome food. The State relief
committee find themselves uuable to
relieve all the people in distress, so
great are the demands for aid. The
railroad men report that since the
cold snap no less than a dozeu peo
pie have perished in the above coun
ties iu the past few days for want of
food and fuel Hundreds of families
are without coal, and in the border
counties, where no trees or brush
exists, the poor people bad a hard
time to keep from freezing to death
"In Perkins county the destitution
is complete. Over 600 families are
appealing for help Near Lisbon
the wife and two children of Settler
Burns died for want of proper nour
ishment aud clothing to cover them
In Hitchcock county the wife of one
of the settlers gave birth to twins
during the storm, and before the
neighbors could reach her home the
poor woman expired from want of
sufficient food and attention. Th
twins are still liviug and in charge
of charitable neighbors.
"Coal is most needed in the
drought district aud Mr. Luddeu of
the State relief commission and
Qeneral Manager Holdredge of th
Burlington and Missouri river are
doing everything in their power to
forward supplies to the more desti
tute localities. Very few of the
farmers in the border couuties have
any stock left, having let their cattle
and horses roam at large. Stock is
being driven out of the State to pre
vent starvation. Corn planted iu
eight or ten of the western counties
never reached a height of over six
iuches audcoutains no more nourish
ment than sage brush. People are
leaving in covered wagons by the
hundreds, rather than face starvation
and freeze to death. One of the first
acts of the Legislature which con
venes next Tuesday, will be to pass
a suitable appropriation for the re
iief of sufferers. More or les3 desti
tutiou exists iu every county from
the Colorado line east to Hall and
Adams counties and the various relief
committees are overwhelmed with
appeals for aid."
North Platte reports: It is a fact
that there have been many cases of
suffering and hunger among the
drought sufferers in Lincoln and
Logan counties. Many families have
only potatoes and milk to live on
now, with no hay or grain for their
stock, through the rest of the winter.
The county in a short time will be
unable to supply the increasing de
rnands for the necessities of life.
The overseers of the poor state that
there are more calls already than the
county can supply, and unless aid
comes from the outside, there will
be many deaths from hunger and
want of clothing tbi winter.
A dispatch from Curtis savs:
"Great distress prevails throughout
this and surrounding counties, owing
to crop failures the past two seasons.
Relief committees have been orrraD-
! ized io almost every precinc; md
! solicitors sent Eat for aid. several
' carloads ot which have been receiv-
i ed. This with what aid the eounty
has been able to give, has alone pre -Tented
suffering among the people
and stock. The outlook is extremely
dark, owing to the scarcity of food

mission has fifty families on its list
as worthy and ueeding assistance."
"The most distressing reports
come iu from all over the western
part of the State relating to the
woeful lack of food and clothing,"
says a Lincoln dispatch. "No deaths
certainly attributable to starvation
have yet been reported, although it
is claimed tht a woman and two
children found dead in a cabin near
Niobrara the morning before Christ
mas, died from lack of food aud care.
There are thousands who could not
withstaud the rigors of a cold spell
without aid. which is being sent
out in generous supply by the relief
commission wherever it is known to
be needed. Relief supplies are being
received from all over the country
and shipped directly to the needy in
