Each Day, Hanlin’s Big Prosperous Cash Store Gains Favor and Popularity in the Eyes of the People.
Each day adds new customers to the swelling throng. The people with one accord are asking why, Listen! Hanlin’s store has always kept good faith with the people and has always lived up to its promises, and at all times and under all conditions saved the people money. For instance. Now you can come to Hanlin’s and buy dress goods that would cost you a $1.25 else where for 98c and so on through the line. The same is true of ready to wear waists, skirts, coats, etc, Some would say, “if this be true look like you should do all the business.” Confidentially, we do the greater part of the business and most all of the cash comes to this store. In view of these tacts aren’t you glad you are a Hanlin customer? It is not only the popular thing but a pure and simple money saving proposition.
We extend you all a most cordial invitation to come and visit this, Newton’s greatest Department Store

JOHN H. ATWOOD.
The members of the committee on speakers feel themselves extremely fortunate in securing John H. Atwood to deliver the annual oration at the Harvey County Old Settlers’ picnic of 1909. Mr. Atwood’s present postoffice address is Kansas City, Missouri, but he is essentially of Kansas, for Kansas and by Kansas. He has the Kansas spirit, speaks the Kansas language, and never loses an opportunity to tell the truth about Kansas—that truth which the unsophisticated easterner sometimes misconstrues as brag and boast. He is “of Kansas” because no matter where may be his place of abode, his heart will be among the people of the Sunflower state, and those people will never cease to claim him as one of their number. He is “by Kansas,” for from the abundance of opportunities she affords, John Atwood carved out, largely, the success to which his present honored career is due.

Mr. Atwood was born in Massachusetts 48 years ago. His early education was of a liberal character. He graduated from Harvard University, and then spent a year traveling in Europe. Very soon afterward he came to Kansas and began the practice of the legal profession. He has been signally successful in law, and has been associated in partnership with leading jurists and statesmen of the west, including United States Senator Lucian Baker and Judge William C. Hook, of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. His law practice has been as extensive as any in Kansas. He is at present associated with James A. Reed, former mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, and whom Mr. Atwood says is to be the next Senator from Missouri.
Politically, John Atwood is a Democrat—one of those fearless Democrats who stands on what he thinks is right, regardless of party dictation or where
5

the votes go. He was National Com mitteeman from Kansas for his party during the last campaign, and head of the National Speakers’ bureau. At wood is a close personal friend of William Jennings Bryan, and was one of the most influential lieutenants in the Nebraskan’s race for the presidency.
As an orator, Mr. Atwood stands without a peer in the entire land. His language is simple, yet euphonious, rhythmical and grammatically pure. His voice well modulated, musical and pleasant to hear. Being a great student and a close observer, he has a surprising fund of technical knowledge of many subjects. He is a lover of history, and delights in drawing his arguments from facts of historical value.
John Atwood is familiarly known to thousands of Kansans. He is a pleasant, approachable gentleman, one who makes friends readily, and one who prizes friendship and fellowship as one of the greatest gifts of God.

H. Lentz has been a resident of Halstead and vicinity, and aside from his official position as Mayor of Halstead, he would be entitled to recognition in this Old Settlers’ souvenir by reason of a long residence in our midst.
Mr. Lentz is a native of Adams county, I11., having been born near the town of Liberty. He seems to have absorbed much which that name implies, as shown by his views on affairs with which he has been closely allied for many years. Although he is a strict observer of the laws of the state and city, he is broad-minded enough to con cede that the innocent enjoyments of young people should not be hampered by narrow-minded prejudice. Such a policy as a member of the city council for many years, resulted in his unanimous nomination and election last year to become the head of the city government.
He is a firm believer in the expendi ture of public money for a public pur-

pose, and it was largely through his efforts that the present system of waterworks is now being constructed. The fine new speaker’s stand in the park is also a monument to his desire and willingness to make it comfortable for the Old Settlers and the casual visitor to the park.
As a young man Mr. Lentz learned the trade as a harness maker and engaged in business for himself at Quincy, I11. He later moved to Des Moines. Iowa, and in 1882 concluded to try farm life in Kansas, and purchased a quarter in Lakin township. This he still owns, and besides, has added a few other desirable farms. In the year 1900 he concluded to retire from active work on the farm and has since resided on South Main street, where he re cently erected one of the finest houses in the city.
Mr. Lentz carries the latch string of the city with him today and will gladly extend hospitality to all who do not transgress upon the law.

Secretary Hinshaw has been prominently identified with the Old Settlers’ organization from its incipiency, and his election as successor to John W. Smith is a guarantee that the duties of this important office will be performed in a creditable manner.
He has an extensive acquaintance over the county, is well and favorably known to most of the old settlers and will very likely be continued in his present official position so long as he cares to retain the burdens of the office.

of the real pioneers of the great Arkansas Valley, having had a frontier life since the ’50’s, and for the past 40 years has been a resident of Sedgwick, Mr. Schaefer has always been an interested attendant at the annual meetings and does his full share to make them a success. By point of residence, he is probably the oldest settler who will be on the grounds today.
It would be a most fitting tribute to his pioneer life if the old settlers should today name him as the President for the ensuing year. We hope it will be done in the interest of fair play to outside locations, as Halstead has been having more than its share of Presidents of recent years.

LAST YEAR’S MEETING
Thousands of Visitors Entertained at the Twenty-first Annual Meeting of Old Settlers.
The big event for Harvey county and
practically all the people who have
lived within its borders, is the annual
meeting of the Old Settlers. This year
was no exception to the general desire
for making it a time and place to greet old friends and about eight thousand people gathered for that or some other purpose.
The first special from Newton consisted of fifteen cars and they were loaded about as usual. That is to say standing room would have commanded a premium. Earlier in the day thestreets of the city had been lined with people coming in from the country and the town presented its usual picnic
mmmmaam mam

appearance.
An exhibition by a man who claimed to throw his neck out of joint, and other equally attractive features held the attention of the crowd while the Newton band boys were getting in shape to give a sample of their work on the brass instruments. The Hess-ton band was also in evidence, and right here we want to say that a finer lot of gentlemen was never employed on a public occasion. They put up a good grade of music and no demands were made upon which were not cheerfully fulfilled.
The crowd assembled at the park by 11 o’clock as all were eager to see Prof. Wipple make a balloon ascension with its daring parachute desent to the ground. While he was later than scheduled time, he got off about 11:40 and gave a good exhibition. He rose to a heighth of 1500 feet before cutting loose and made a graceful and safe landing northwest of the park about

a mile.
The real program of the day was started at 1:30 p. m. when the meeting was called to order by President R. H. McDonald. After a few remarks suitable to the occasion, the usual invocation, and the customary music by the band, he introduced Hon. J. D. Botkin, who is no stranger to Harvey county people, and his reputation as an entertaining talker was fully maintained. He spoke principally of the duties of a citizen and in the course of his remarks made it plain to his audience that the highest standard of citizenship was the intelligent exercise of the right to participate in the primary elections of the various part ties. As the speaker had just recently profited by the exercise of that right, to the extent of receiving the nomination for governor, he felt safe in his assertions along that line.
Officers were then elected as follows

The ball game between the Newton and Salina teams of the Central Kansas league was then announced and about eighteen hundred people wended their way to the Warkentin pasture where a fine game was played. As most of the people were in sympathy with the Newton players, it added to their pleasure to have Newton win. The score standing 4 to 1 in favor of the aggregation from the county seat.
Another balloon ascension was pulled off about 6 o’clock and with free attractions on Main street, a concert by the Newton band, followed by a general carnival on the part of citizens and belated visitors at night closed the exercises in connection with the twenty-first meeting of the Old Settlers.

This Year’s Arrangements.
The meeting of citizens of Halstead, held Tuesday night, June 10, to make the preliminary arrangements for the Old Settlers’ Picnic, which is to be held Thursday, August 12, was fairly well attended.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Lentz, Curtis Riesen was chos en as secretary. It was decided to elect an executive committee of five members to have entire charge of the picnic. They are to appoint the various sub-committees and arrange all the details and see that they are carried out. As such committee, the following were chosen: Curtis Riesen,
J. A. Linn, Jno. Cox, E. H. Kliewer and
Richard Jones.
A motion was made and carried that it be the sense of the meeting that the committee make an effort to secure William J. Bryan as the speaker of the date of the big event.
On motion the executive committee was given power to supply any vacancy which may rise in their committee, after which the meeting adjourned.

D. W. Thompson, President.
At the last meeting D. W. Thompson was unanimously elected president of the Old Settlers’ organization. He has
been a continuous resident of Halstead township, having located in the northwest part of the township in April, 1873
For seventeen terms he served as township trustee, which is a record hardly ever equalled in the state of Kansas. It indicates a high regard on the part of his fellow citizens, which is no doubt appreciated by Mr. Thomp-son in his later years. He has served the people of the Third commissioner district as county commissioner, and made a most satisfactory record.
On account of failing health Mr. Thompson is absent from the meeting this year and is at Eureka Springs, Ark., to recuperate.

M. S. INGALLS, TREASURER.
At the annual meeting in 1905 M. S. Ingalls, the pioneer druggist of Hal-
31
stead, was elected to the office of treasurer of the association. Mr. Ingalls is a native of the state of New York, but at an early age he moved with his parents to East Tennessee. Here he lived during the war and served as a scout during that time. Later he moved to Iowa and in March, 1874, he cast his lot among the pioneers of Harvey county. He established the first durg store in Halstead and has for more than 32 years been in business just across the street east of where his present store is now located. During one of the Indian raids through Kansas, Mr. Ingalls was captain of a company of 104 men, organized to protect the settlers, but the company was not called into active service. Mr. Ingalls has always taken an active service in the annual meetings of the Old Set- tiers, and served one year as president of the association, having been elected at the 1895 meeting.

great majority of the people of Harvey county at the present time, will readily recognize the features of the well-known Newton lawyer in the foregoing illustration.
Judge Bowman located on a farm in Pleasant township in 1871, and in order to assist him in holding down the claim and to provide sustance for himself and family, he opened a law office in Newton about the same time. It will thus be seen that while the venerable judge claimed to be a farmer, he is not supposed to have been guilty of following the plow to any great extent.
When an Old Settlers’ organization was first proposed, Judge Bowman, John Dickey, Jim Geary, John Reese, J. B. Lynch, and a number of other prominent Newton citizens were consulted and they readily responded by their presence, voice and purse to put the organization on its feet.
In the early seventies Judge Bow-
35
man served the people of the county as county attorney, and after a lapse of fifteen years or more he was again called to fill the same office. He has enjoyed a good practice, is recognized by the bar of the state as one of the leading lawyers in central Kansas, and besides, he enjoys the distinction of being the paternal ancestor of Harry C. Bowman, a member of the State Board of Control for the past five years.
Judge Bowman served the first three years as President of the Old Settlers, and his determined intention to see the meetings prosper and grow, has done much to popularize the annual meetings.
He has been a regular attendant at the annual picnic and it is hoped there will be nothing to prevent him telling the assembled multitude at the 22nd annual event about the time he arrived in Halstead with a train load of excursionists and found the gates of the park locked.

tunate as to get within hearing distance of the speaker’s platform today, can give a considerable credit to Mr. Todd for securing the services of Hon. John H. Atwood as the orator of the day. He is chairman of the committee on speakers, and, as has been his custom, he did things well.
Mr. Todd has served three years as Mayor of Halstead and is now serving a second term as County Commission er, there being the intervening term of Alex. McBurney.
He first located in Halstead in 1874 and later spent a few years in the mines of New Mexico, returning in 1885, since which time Halstead has been his home.

You Would Not Think of Plowing With a Yoke of Oxen and a Bull Tongue,
Yet such a method would be no more unreasonable on the Kansas prairies than to be using a disc battered out of shape and left with jagged edges by the old hammer system. Our Improved Disc Roller turns them out cold, thus saving the temper, rolls them clean, smooth and sharp. Don’t chip the edge nor leave that sawtooth effect. Can get them out for you quicker, cheaper and better than the old way. This should be enough argument, but if you are the least skeptical, we pledge you our guarantee that you will be more than pleased. Ship or bring them to us—you can’t “clog” us up. We pay the freight one way if you ship.

business session as President with the dignity becoming a farmer who owns a half section of the best land in Kansas.
He is a native of Iowa, served his country as a soldier from ’61 to ’65, and in 1872, with a yearning desire to try pioneer life, he came to Harvey county and purchased the relinquishment to the claim which is now his home near Paxton switch. He has retired from the active duties of farm work, except to pail a few of the cows, and is enjoying himself from the results of his earlier years. He never misses a meeting of the Old Settlers and will no doubt be present at the annual meeting today.

J. B. DICKEY,
611 Main Street, Newton, Kans ■ ■ - 1871-1909 ~
THE FIRST TREASURER.
At the time the Old Settlers’ or-
49
ganization was perfected, J. B. Dickey, whose rat exterminating countenance is shown above, was elected treasurer. That he didn’t run away with the funds of the association is vouchsafed by the fact that he never served a term in the penitentiary but has, since the early part of 1871, been dispensing drugs to the citizens of Harvey county at his drug store in Newton.
Mr. Dickey was one of the prime movers in the organizing of what has developed into such a big event, and the only mistake made was that he had not been accorded the honors of being its president until the 1898 meeting.
John Dickey is known to everybody in the county, except the man who moved here yesterday, and he always graces the annual event by his pres ence.

These committees have been hard at work and the various duties assigned have received the most careful and intelligent attention. It will be largely due to their untiring efforts if a satisfactory entertainment is provided for the Old Settlers today. The country has been searched for attractions and some discouragements were encountered on account of the Cattlemen’s picnic at Kingman coming the same week as ours.
It is thought by many to be a good plan to change the date of future picnics to the first Thursday in August instead of the second.

HOW AND WHEN ORGANIZED.
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. Benthusen, who took a claim in Halstead township in the spring of 1871 was made the 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 participate 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 move-
55
ment 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 of ten or twelve years would be sufficient. It was thought best to not draw the line too strict and the intention was to have the committee on constitution cover the question.
The election of the first officers of the Association resulted as follows:
President, C. S. Bowman, of Newton.
First Vice President, G. F. Ben-thusen, of Halstead.

SHOULD REGISTER.
Secretary Hinshaw will have the register book at a convenient place all day and it is hoped that those who have not yet signed the roll of membership will do so before leaving the grounds today. There has never been any regular rule established as to what constitutes an old settler, but at the time the organization was effected, only those who had been in the county no less than ten or twelve years took part in the deliberations.
That rule will no doubt be generally accepted as a precedent by which to go. Of recent years the roll of membership has gained but few names, due mainly to the lack of knowledge as to what was considered to constitute an old settler.

1 We have made the farmer's cream bring cash the same as other farm products. Before we began business on this basis the farmer received his money once per month. That was the best the old system could afford but the new system which was inaugurated by us brought cash for each can of cream when sold and also resulted in quoting the price per pound butter fat in advance of its delivery to the station.
1 Do not forget that it is our constant aim to give satisfaction. That we have been able to give our patrons the kind of service meeting their approval is best evidenced by the increasing number of people who each year sell us their cream
