and fifty young women are suffering
for want of food and fuel on the prai
ries of South Dakota, and an appeal
has been sent from Sioux City and

women. With their hands reddened
and roughened by toil, with undying
ambition to prove up on their land
claims the girls are actually In want,
and In real danger, as their claims are
scattered and many of them many
miles from the railroad Hnd even off the
trail.

Headers, writes as follows:

per.. They are out of everything at the
store. The storekeeper says his hair
has turned white during the past
month trying to keep people from
starring. J don’t know what anofher
atorm will do to the railroad, but peo
ple of Sioux City and Des Moines ought 1
to do something to get things shipped
In here soon, us freighting on the trull
Is altogether too slow. Do something,
and do It quick, or all of us will starve
and freer.e."

ing the pioneer life on the prntiies of
South Dakota never dreamed of fining

them when they Went to their claims,
happy and carefree, last fall. The set
tlers have money, hut there Is nothing
to buy.

ters of a wealthy contractor. Last year
