from New York in 1837. Mr. Bailey attended the country school in his neighborhood, went to the high school at Mount Carroll; and graduated from the university of Illinois in 1876. His inclination was to take a law course at Harvard but his father owning land in Kansas, he decided to pursue agriculture instead of law, so with a span of horses and a buggy, he came overland to this state, crossing the Missouri river at White Cloud, and from thence to the present site of Bailey-ville, July 14, 1876. At that time there were only two houses in sight of the place, and Mr. Bailey had to drive stakes in the ground to tie his team while he hunted the corner stone that located the land.
He began to improve the place without delay; hired fourteen men to help with the work and batched it with true pioneer spirit. The land was fenced and laid out in fields. A house and barns with granaries and windmills were erected. A ten acre grove was set out, with many varieties of trees, among them a fine collection of ever-

greens—then a rare sight in Kansas. Mr. Bailey was the first farmer in that section to raise tame grasses, which, with the tree raising, were considered experiments, but he had been a farmer boy in Illinois and he proceeded and succeeded regardless of the early day customs of the Kansas farmers.
In the fall he returned to Illinois and shipped nine cars of short-horn cattle to the farm, which was the beginning of his stock business in Kansas.
While attending the university of Illinois, his fellow students picked him cut as an orator and elected him president of the crack literary society of the university. Coming to Kansas direct from school, Mr. Bailey naturally took to politics, where politicians are so numerous and it has come really to be a profession that is not dishonorable. Scon as a township was formed with his home included, he was among the first delegation to a republican convention in Seneca.
He has never been charged with being a boss in local politics but al-

ways worked for the success of his party candidates. His first elective office was to the legislature in 1888, but went out with the balance of the known Ingalls men in the campaign for a re-election in 1890. Mr. Bailey’s prominence as a campaign speaker took form during his canvass of the county in ’88, and in the succeeding session, was one of the few capable of presiding over the lower house, and in the busiest hours often wielded the gavel for the speaker.
Mr. Bailey was twice a candidate for the republican nomination for congress in the First district, in 1896 and in 1898 but was unsuccessful. At the state convention in the latter year he was nominated for Congressman-at-large, and elected by a vote of 147,-591 to 130,801 cast for J. D. Botkin. In congress he was given place on two committees those of agriculture and claims. He introduced a bill to retaliate against Germany for their discriminating against American meats. This bill was cabled to Germany and was a subject of discussion in the Ger-

man parliament. He also secured the modification of inspection laws which had mitigated against the stock rais- ers of the west.
At the republican convention held in June, Mr. Bailey was nominated as the standard bearer of the party, in the state campaign, but in his address today, it is very doubtful if an illusion will be made to his present position in the politics of the state.

HOW IT’S DONE.

Halstead Citizens Bear the Entire Expense of the Annual Meetings.
The average annual expense of providing the entertainment for the Old Settlers’ meeting is close to two hundred dollars, which is cheerfully met by the citizens of Halstead.
This year the initial steps were taken on July 14, and to give an idea as to the mode of proceedure we publish the official report of the meeting:
The meeting of citizens to provide ways and means for the entertainment of the Old Settlers at their annual meeting in Halstead was caned to order by Mayor Hinkle, who stated the object of the meeting, after which he was unanimously elected chairman of the meeting. On motion E. J. Book-waiter was elected secretary.
A letter from S. T. Danner, president of the association was read in which many good points were recommended for the entertainment on August 14.

The matter of selecting an executive committee was taken up and R. M. Todd, D. W. Thompson and John Lehmann were named and elected without opposition. The only obstacle being to induce the above named gentlemen to accept the duties in connection therewith.
On motion by Dr. Hoover, seconded by J. F. Jewett, the executive committee was given entire charge of the arrangements, the selection of various committees and all other business.
The question of securing a speaker was discussed at considerable length. Some wanted an orator with a state reputation, while others favored speakers from the various towns of the county. The general sentiment being in favor of a speaker from abroad. On motion the executive committee was instructed to secure at least one speaker from abroad, any intervening time on the program to be occupied by county-speakers.
The executive committee met and selected the following list of committees:

LAST YEAR’S MEETING.
What the Old Settlers Did at Their Meeting in 1901.
The annual meetings of the Old Settlers organization are increasing in interest as the years roll by, as was attested by the immense crowd which gathered in Halstead’s beautiful Riverside Park, Thursday, Aug. 8, 1901.
The rain the day before and the cloudy weather in the early morning clearly indicated that a big crowd would be in attendance. The people began to arrive early and before the special train from Newton arrived, enough people had already gathered in the park to make a creditable showing.
About 10:30, the first special of eight cars, loaded to the guards, arrived from Newton, accompanied by the Commercial Band. A march was taken to the park, where the exercises of the day were commenced.

called the assemblage to order and announced a selection by the Newton band. The Rev. Bixler of the Halstead M. E. church offered prayer and was followed by an address of welcome by Miss Blanche Yeomans, who acquitted herself in a most creditable manner, considering that but a few days notice had been given her. Senator Danner followed in his usual happy vein and introduced Prof. Shirk, who took Judge Greene’s place on the program.
The afternoon session opened with music by Newton’s famous band, when the Hon. E. W. Hoch, of Marion, was introduced as the orator of the day. Mr. Hoch’s reputation as an entertaining public speaker had preceded him and the audience was in perfect sympathy with what he said. He spoke briefly of his individual experiences in the early 70’s>
He created added interest to his address by calling for a show of hands by all who were residents of Kansas when it was organized as a territory in 1854. He then called for those who

were in the state during the drouth of 1860 and a few more hands went up. The speaker mentioned the prominent periods in the states history and eulogized Kansas in glowing terms.
The Newton Kansan, in reporting the meeting, says of the speaker: Mr.
Hoch’s speeches are always logical and original. They prove the speaker a philosopher with ideas outside the beaten lines of thought and for this reason, if for no other, his talks are mentally refreshing. A fund of humor seems always to be at the speak-re’s command and, drawn upon frequently, proves a never failing source of amusement. Mr. Hoch is a favorite with Harvey county audiences, and his address yesterday will materially strengthen the esteem in which he is | held by the citizens of this county. j

Newton made an effort to secure the next annual meeting but it was voted to hold it in Halstead on the second Thursday in August, 1902.
The sports in the river occupied the next hour, after which the ball game between Halstead and Wichita attracted the crowd. The game was a splendid exhibition up to the first half

of the ninth inning, when the score stood 5 to 5. The Wichita boys found the leather in their first half and pounded out eight runs while the Halstead boys stood around and pretended to play ball. The final score stood 13 to 6 in favor of Wichita.
The balloon ascension was declared off, much to the disappointment of many who waited to see the exhibition, on account of the high wind.
On Main street at 7 o’clock the Halstead Juvenile Band put on their drill, which created much favorable comment. The boys are rapidly acquiring a reputation for proficient work in their line which is attracting attention throughout the state.
The grand ball in the evening closed what is generally considered to be the most successful meeting ever held by the Old Settlers of Harvey county.
Believing that a brief review of the first efforts made to organize the Old Settlers and a brief account of the first meeting would be of interest at this time, we submit the following condensed statement as taken from
19


the minutes as kept by the secretary:
Pursuant to a call issued by a number of the early residents of Harvey county, a meeting was held in the Halstead Opera house, July 21, 1888, for the purpose of arranging for an Old Settlers' Picnic and the perfecting of a permanent organization. It was decided to hold the picnic in the Halstead Grove, on Thursday, August 9 and committees were appointed to carry out the arrangements.
The following officers were elected:
President, C. S. Bowman.
1st Vice Pres., G. F. Benthusen.
2nd Vice Pres., J. C. Walker.
3rd Vice., R. W. Hall.
Secretary, John W. Smith.
Treasurer, J. B. Dickey.
Complier A. L. Greene.
On that date the first picnic was held, with an attendance of about one thousand. An excellent program was given and the principal address was made by Hon. A. L. Green, of Newton.
It was decided to hold the next meeting in Halstead on the last Thursday in August, 1889. A Com-

mittee consisting of G. W. Branine, of Newton, J. W. Shive of Lake and T. R. Oldham, of Walton was appointed on constitution. The records of the next meeting show that the committee made a report which was adopted but no trace of it can be found. In consequence there is no constitution to govern the organization. Nobody seems to know who is entitled to be called an Old Settler and from the way in which the crowd enjoys itself, nobody cares. It would seem, though that some action on this question should be taken at the present meeting.

IT SOWS IN THE CORN ROW. THE MILLER GRAIN DRILL
IT HAS A MOST PERFECT CLEANING DEVICE. A good farmer is always worried about the loss of
ground when wheat is drilled into the standing corn, caused by the rows taking so much room. We have experimented with this drill and have succeeded in obviating all this loss. This drill sows the grain right in the corn row and an extra shovel on each side covers the grain. We also have a cleaning device, which is automatic and is a great labor saving device. If you use this drill once, you would not be without it. It is very satisfactory for sowing alfalfa. Farmers interested are invited to call at our factory.

noon, giving his early experience in the west.
Mr. Fugate has for twenty-two years been engaged in the newspaper business and by reason of such experience, comes in contact with the old settlers as well as the new ones.
Joe Fugate’s name is a synonym for honesty and integrity, wherever, it is known, and in the councils of his chosen party, the Democratic, his voice is ever heard for what he believes to be right.
At the last campaign for the Presidency, our fellow citizen was honored with the nomination on the Democratic ticket as the first Presidential elector-at-large.
Joe is now engaged in upholding the banner of anti-republicanism in this county and his long experience in that line is an assurance that his political duties will be well performed.
The Newton Daily and weekly Journal, popular publictions in this county, are the product of his fertile brain.

Mr. Hinshaw was the second Sect’y of the Organization succeeding the late John W. Smith, and retired from the office at the last meeting. In 1871 he took a claim twenty miles northwest of Halstead in Reno county, and moved to the farm two miles north of Halstead in 1874, locating in Halstead in 1895, where he has since made his home. He is at present engaged as a carpenter and builder.

home. As an early pioneer, he had his share of the trials incident to hatching it on the claim. He came to Harvey county without any capital other than a determination to prove to the world that a young man who was not afraid of work could carve cut a fortune on the free land donated by the government.
Mr Shive is a fair example of the hardy pioneers who transformed the “great American Desert” into the garden spot of the country. His untiring energy and strict integrity has won him the confidence of the west end people.
At one time Mr. Shive attempted to dip into politics and was persuaded to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for Representative to the Legislature He didn’t secure the nomination and has since devoted himself to business, with politics as a side line.
How well he has succeeded can be attested by the fact that he now is the owner of several sections of fine

land, has one hundred acres of growing alfalfa, is an extensive raiser of fine horses, having at all times from sixty to one hundred head on his farm. He is president of the Burrton State bank and is generally recognized as one of the solid farmers of Harvey county.
During the first few years in Lake township he participated in a number of buffalo hunts on the Ninnescah and may tell of his experiences pursuing the big game in his ten-minute address today.
Mr. Shive’s nearest neighbors at the time of taking his claim were the late Jas. McMurry, Ike Elder, now of Topeka, N. D. Knight of Burrton, Sam Woodward and Wm. Hill, who died in Halstead a few years ago.

own. Among Harvey county’s extensive stock dealers, Glenn Woods is always considered as well toward the top of the list.
He has been active in the politics of Harvey county but has never held office, prefering to help his friends rather than be burdened with the cares and duties of a public servant. For many years he has been the Walton township member of the County Central Committee and no convention of that party would seem complete without the presenece of Glenn Woods.
He is a recognized leader in the east part of the county and aspirants for office always make a strong pull for his influence and support. As a promoter of the interests of the Old Settlers, he is counted upon as one of the strong workers in the county.

Politics Kept Out.
Of recent years it has been the custom of the committees having in charge the matter of selecting speakers for the annual meetings to insist upon the necessity of omitting politics from the list of subjects discussed To avoid all semblance of partiality, the committee on speakers for this occasion sent invitations to both Republican and Democratic candidates for Governor to be here and deliver an old settler’s address. That M r. Craddock, the Democratic candidate, is not present, was no fault of his, as a previous date had been arranged for.
The following letters from the State Central Committees of each party tell the story:
Topeka, Ivans , July 25. Chairman Committee:
Your letter of 23 inst. to Gov. Craddock, inviting him to speak at your town on the occasion of the Old Settlers’ reunion on August 14, is received. In reply, we regret to say that Gov. Craddock is already billed for August 14 at Wathena. We hope

however, to be able to give him to your people sometime before the campaign closes.
Yours Truly,
J . M. SENTER.
H. D. WELLS,
Topeka, Kans , July 24, 1902. Chairman Speaker’s Committee:
I have arranged for Mr. Bailey to be at your place and make an address at your Old Settlers’ picnic on August; 14. I trust that you will personally see that he has a good opportunity to make an address and that he may meet as many of your people at that time as possible. While he will understand that his address is to be nonpolitical, yet if he has a favorable opportunity, Mr. Bailey, even in such an address, will make a most favorable impression. I sincerely hope that your meeting will be so advertised that you will have a big crowd and that it will prove in every way a success. ;
