Senator Chas. Curtis.
The Old Settlers of Harvey County, are most fortunate this year in having for their Annual Picnic, a speaker of the quality presented by Senator Chas. Curtis. This man of sterling qualities comes to our midst, as an example of what can be done by a character such as his. Standing in life as he did, leaving his earliest days in quietness and study with a view of, at some future day, being able to stand before his fellow man as a statesman, to point out to them the necessities of an ever changing country and a most mutible life, rising step by step by hard and most conscienteous labors, up thr ladder of success and fame, until today he comes to us, showing the dignity of an officer

as our representative in the United States Senate, the house of our free and liberal country. He has a message for you today, good people, and to heed this message, you will make no mistake. What he tells you, will be that which only can be gleaned and understood by a man in his position, where to observe is to learn. This is a knowledge of our countrys affairs, which is heightened by the push that for many years he has in public offices held the trust and confidence of the people whom he represents.
Let us all accord him a hearty welcome, for well we know that with the rudder of the ship at state entrusted to such unerring and unfaltering hands as his, the good old ship can and will never deviate from the course of righteousness and of success.

factory, but when the price was put to tune of $300 for their services they absolutely refused to sign a statement that they had played a League Game thus acknowledging they had played horse to a big crowd in a little town that expected them to be fair and honorable.
The Game was not played to a finish on account of rain.
The Feature that failed to materialize was the Balloon ascension by R. P. Whippel, who did not get here from some unknown reason.
The Committee of Arrangements were highly complimented for their excellent services in the way they got up and carried out the Program.

An Account of the First Organization of the Old Settlers.
The Harvey County Old Settlers Association which has now assumed such extensive proportions, had its first inception from a meeting held in the Halstead Opera House on July 21, 1888. Old Settlers from different parts of the county had been invited to be present and there was a large representation of the pioneers.
Walter M. Munch, who had located in Alta township in 1869, was selected as chairman of the meeting and G. F. Benthu-sen, who took a claim in Hal- , stead township in the spring of 1871, was made secretary.
It was decided to have a picnic in Halstead on Thursday, August 9, and a general invitation was extended to all old residents to be present and par-

ticipate in the organization of a permanent association.
From the time the notice had been given that the Old Settlers were to get together, it was evident that the Movement would be a popular one and the immense crowd which assembled denoted that a deep interest had been taken and that the permanency of the organization was assured.
On that date the address of welcome was made by R. W. Berry. It was responded to by Hon. A. L. Greene. Speeches were also made by Hon. Thos. J. Matlock, G. W. Branine,C. S. Bowman, Capt. Hamlin, Ike Elder, Col. T. J. Jackson and R. W. Denny. When the question arose as to who were entitled to be called Old Settlers, it was satisfactorily decided that a residence to ten or twelve years would be sufficient, It was thought best to not draw the

G, Walker, of Halstead; Third Vice President, R. W. Hall, of Sedgwick; Secretary J.W. Smith, Halstead; Treasurer, J. B. Dickey, Newton; Compiler, A. L. Greene, Newton.
