JUDGE THOMAS C. WILSON
Of the Sedgwick County District Court, Will Address the People.
The committee on speakers has been very fortunate this year in selecting an orator for the twenty-third annual picnic in the person of Judge Thomas C. Wilson, of the Sedgwick County District Court.
Judge Wilson is a native of Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of the law department of the University of Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia in 1886 and a short time later came west in search of a location. Wichita suited him, and from his career since becoming a resident of the “Peerless Princess,” he evidently suited the people of Wichita. His first political office in the state of his adoption was that of city attorney of Wichita. He was later elected probate judge, and while serving in that capac-

ity his ability as a lawyer and a jurist was recognized by Gov. Bailey when a vacancy existed in the office of judge of the district court, and he was given the appointment. Twice have the people of Sedgwick county approved the wisdom of that choice by electing him at the polls by large majorities.
When Judge Wilson has served out his present term he will have held that office longer than any of his predecessors, which is an indication that his career as a judge is eminently satisfactory to the people of Sedgwick county.
During Congressman Murdock’s first canvas as a candidate for congress from the Eighth district, Judge Wilson managed the campaign, since which time he has taken but a passing interest in politics, due to his official position. We feel sure Judge Wilson has an interesting message to deliver to the Old Settlers of Harvey county today.

LAST YEAR'S MEETING.

J. S. EYMANN
The twenty-second annual picnic of the Old Settler’s has come and gone and it was somewhat like former occasions of recent years. The crowd was up to the usual size, being estimated at from six to ten thousand.
W. C. HINKLE & CO.
Hardware and Implements
The Newton band arrived on the early train and until the arrival of the special train from Newton at 9:30 they gave a concert on Main street. The special train consisted of fourteen cars, all filled to the utmost capacity.
The afternoon train brought about the same sized crowd of enthusiastic picnickers and base ball fans.
Nearly two thousand tickets were sold at Newton, besides everybody there with an automobile or a horse and buggy came over to help swell the crowd. The special train in the morning went through to Hutchinson and returned well filled with Hutchinson and Burrton people.

The program of the day was delayed on account of the second special from Newton being late and it was 2 o’clock before the exercises commenced. The address of welcome by Mayor Lentz and the response were dispensed with and Vice President Morris introduced Hon. John H. Atwood of Kansas City, as the orator of the day. Mr. Atwood fully maintained his reputation as an orator and for forty minutes held the closest attention of the large audience.
The election of officers were as follows:
President, M. Harvey, Lakin township.
Vice President, H. H. McAdams, Newton.
Secretary, N. L. Hinshaw, Halstead.
Treasurer, M. S. Ingalls, Halstead.
The various township vice-presidents were re-elected with the provision that the three principal officers should have power to fill any vacancies which might

arise.
The ball game between Newton and Hutchinson teams of the State league was the principal attraction of the day and drew a crowd of nearly three thousand people who sat in the sweltering sun to see the Salt Packers hammer out a victory with a score of 6 to 3.
The balloon ascension took place about 6 o’clock, after which some free attractions were pulled off in the business portion of the town. A teeter-totter stunt by automobiles was a novel and attractive feature and attracted much attention. The first prize was won by an Oklahoma man with a Buick machine, while Willie Fein of Newton pulled second prize v/ith his Reo runabout.
It was an orderly crowd which filled the park and crowded the streets until a late hour.

stead 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 concede that the innocent enjoyments of young people should not be hampered by narrow-minded prejudice. Such a policy as a member cf the city council for many years, resulted in his unanimous nomination and election last year to become the head of the city government.
The fine new speaker’s stand in the park is 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 Quin-
cy, 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 recently 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.

THE OLD SETTLERS.
A Short Sketch of the Organization Which Has Grown to Be Such a Pretentious Affair.
W. H. CHEATUM,
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 perfection 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.
First Vice Pres., G. F. Benthusen.
Second Vice Pres., J. C. Walker.
Third Vice Pres., R. W. Hall.
Secretary, John W.Smith.
Treasurer, J. B. Dickey.
Compiler, A. L. Green.
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 committee con sisting 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 enjoy itself, nobody cares.

of the arrangements for the picnic. Mr. Riesen has served in that capacity in former years and by reason of the satisfactory service performed, he was pressed into the work again this year.
He is one of the busy men of Halstead, being the active head of the old reliable firm of Riesen & Dyck, since the dads have turned the business over to the boys. Curt is onto the job of handling the correspondence end of the Old Settlers’ arrangements, and he seems to thrive on the work. The more there is to do, the better he likes it, if there is any benefit in it for the Old Settlers. Since the last annual meeting, when he also served as secretary of the executive committee, he has become a benedict and is no longer on the matrimonial market.

Milt was assigned to the difficult task of trying to induce the Newton League ball team to play here today for eighty per cent of the gate receipts, but the ball players wanted more, so other arrangements had to be made. He is somewhat of a ball player himself, having for many years been catcher for the Halstead team.
Mr. Cheatum is engaged in the undertaking business with his father, and is generally recognized as one of the best licensed embalmers in this part of the state. He is giving his time and talent this year to making the 23rd meeting one of the best in the history of the organization.

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.

THE OLD SETTLERS’
Twenty-third Annual Picnic to Be Held Thursday, August 11.
Halstead Independent, June 30.
The meeting of citizens of Halstead called for the purpose of making the preliminary arrangements to entertain the crowd at the coming annual picnic of the Old Settlers of Harvey county, was held at the Auditorium Friday evening and there was a good attendance of representative citizens present.
Mayor Lentz was unavoidably absent, and at his request the meeting was called to order by E. J. Book-waiter. Chas. E. Mitchell was elected as chairman of the meeting and E. J. Bookwalter was chosen to act as secretary.
The matter of selecting an Executive committee to take entire charge of the affairs and choose the various sub-committees was taken up and re-

suited in the election of E. H. Kliewer, Curt Riesen, Oswald Mantele, Milt Cheatum and Elmer Ruth. Most of these have served on previous committees and have an insight in the work to be done, which will result in having a fine program arranged when the time comes for the twenty-third picnic. Halstead Independent, July 17.
The Executive committee for the Old Settlers’ picnic is actively at work and is meeting with every encouragement at the hands of the citizens of Halstead.
On Tuesday a partial canvass was made of the business district to secure a guarantee fund and more than three hundred dollars was subscribed.
There was a general loosening of the purse strings and the committee hopes to greatly increase the size of the fund before the ending of the week. If you have not been interviewed, make it a point to help the financial end along and put your name down for a few dol-

C. F. Claassen, Pres.
At the meeting Tuesday night it was decided to more thoroughly advertise the big event and at the same time start a tracer after the biggest and best attractions to be had. Negotiations are under way for a ball game between the Hutchinson and Newton league teams, and it is also the intention to make an effort to secure Thomas J. Norton, an old Newton boy, who is now near the top of the Santa Fe legal department in Chicago, as the orator of the day.

TO THE OLD SETTLERS
The old settlers are alone entitled to all credit in making the great commercial prosperity of Harvey County possible. To the old settlers we owe our success, and with them we glow with pride in looking back over their problems and wonderful achievements of the past, and watching the present developments for greater future possibilities of our city and county.
We desire to show our appreciation for the part the Old Settlers have taken in our progress and growth by co-operating with Old Settlers and new, in doing greater things to promote a continuancy of our prosperity.

Tuesday night.
In connection with the arrangements for the picnic it is the wish of the committee that everybody who has any kick coming about the way things are being managed, should make the kicks to the committee and not chew the rag and spout about it in a knocking way on the streets.
At a recent meeting of the Executive committee of the Old Settlers’ picnic, E. H. Kliewer was elected chairman, C. V. Riesen, secretary and E. D. Ruth, treasurer.
The Executive committee also took upon themselves besides looking after the entire celebration, the duties which usually befall the speaker’s committee, the transportation committee and the finance committee.

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.

quainted with H. H. McAdams, who was elected as the general vice president at the meeting last year. Mr. McAdams located in the north part of Halstead township in 1872, and a short time later moved to Halstead. At the organization of the town he was chosen as the first mayor. In 1878 he made the race for sheriff on the Republican ticket and was elected, serving two terms. He made a most satisfactory official. He has for many years been engaged in the real estate and insurance business in Newton and aspires to the office of Probate Judge.

picnic. He has been putting in good time at the work and the success of the affair today will in a great measure be due to his hustling for the benefit of the Old Settlers.
While young in years he makes up in enthusiasm when it comes to working for the public good. Mr. Mantele is engaged in the jewelry business and ordinarily has his time occupied, but for this occasion he has sacrificed his personal wishes and devotes a good share of the time looking after the arrangements for the big picnic.

perfected twenty-one years ago, and that time has been about equally divided between the first secretary, John W. Smith, and the present secretary, N. L. Hinshaw, who was chosen as the successor of Mr. Smith at the meeting held in 1899, a short time after the death of Mr. Smith. The records of each annual meeting are kept in good shape by Mr. Hinshaw and there seems to be a general desire to continue him in this office as long as he will consent to serve.
He has resided in Harvey county since 1872 and can justly claim to be one of the pioneers. Previous to that time he experienced the delightful sensation of holding down a claim for a year or more in Reno county, a few miles west of Burrton.
