Old Settlers Of the State.

A number OF the pioneers OF the
State having suggested that meet
ing be held during the coming Indi-
ana State Fair for the purpose OF or
ganizing a State Association, the
Board of Agriculture granted every
facility at their command to further
the proposed object. To that end,
committee OF arrangements have
been appointed to make all necessary
preparation, and to secure q success
ful result. Wednesday, October, I'd,
has been selected as the most quit
able time, and the Music Hall on the
State Fair Grounds as the most con-
venient place to assemble, which will
be appropriately decorated for the
occasion. 1t is specially requested
that the pioneers and others bring
such relics as are suggestive Of the ear
ly settlements. and Of the days when
pluck and undaunted courage were
the browning virtues. 1t is hoped
that this meeting will be the incep-
ton Of regular annual meetings OF
the surviving pioneers OF Indiana,
where those who "tramped down the
nettles" and laid the foundation OF
this great and growing State, will
meet, apd renew in spirit and feeling
the scenes Of early days. and inspire
others who are following in their
footsteps with gratitude to those who
"blazed the way" and cleared
the opening" for the blessings we now
enjoy. 1t is specially requested that
statements be made OF any interes-
ting incidents in connection with the
early settlements, as all the proceed
ings Of the meeting will be carefully
prepared by a shorthand reporter
and be preserved with other records
in the archives OF the State for fur
ther reference. All pioneers seventy
years OF age, who have been residents
OF the State for forty years, will be
admitted free to the State Fair. A
committee OF arrangements and re-
ception will take charge Of all mat
ters connected Herewith until the
organization is completed by elec-
ting officers and adopting rules and
regulations, and extend to all pio-
neers, and others interested, a cordial
invitation to be present. Arrange
ments are now pending to pass the
pioneers free over the railroads one
round trip, to attend the meeting, on
! presentation OF proper certificate
from the clerk OF the county where
such reside.

Put Down the Brakes.

No matter how well the track is laid,
No matter how strong the engine is made,
When you find il rnnning on downward grade
Put down the brakes.
Ii the demon of drink has entered your soul,
And his power is getting beyond your control,
And dragging You down to a terrible goal
Put down the brakes.
Remember the adage, "Dont trife with fire."
Temptation, you know, is always liar;
If you want TO crush out the burning desire,
Put Gown the brakes.
Are you running in debt by living fast 2
Do you look back with shame on proftless past,
And feel that your ruin is coming at last
Put down the brakes.
Whether for honor, for knowledge gain,
on are fast wearing out your body and brain,
Till nature no 10 lger can bear the strain,
Put down the braker.

which I could get along with these
people, and adopted as two Of myrules.
First, never Josh" or fool with man
who carries knife or revolver; sec-
ondly, never doubt a mans word,
even if he tells the toughest kind of
lies, but set to work and outlie him
on his own ground, and you will win
his respect. L may say that I sus-
tanned the reputation of Chicagoan
fully, and won their respect.
After the churches and schools
came the saloons. These are the
most numerous mercantile estab-
lishments, and, / judge the most
profitable. On some streets every
other house is saloon-some rich in
appearance, some mere novels.
Some bar tenders wear diamond pins,
and others have to fall back on glass
emerald. The charge for whisky,
when The town first started. was a
dollar drink; while now the highest
price is two-bis saloon. One man
did the break-down-a truly good
mine surveyor, who backed a poor
man to open an establishment on the
two drinks for quarter plan. The
place was filled day and night, and
other saloonists were bound to close
or come down in price. You can
now buy your Seidenbergs here for
the same price as in Chicago, count
ing your freight, OF course.
The theaters are two In number.

The names Of others are but few. AS
to their qualifl cations for the stage,
the opinions of Chicago and Dead
wood people would differ. The latter
say the company is first class. Well,
perhaps it is: but few people, which
are very poor, when introduced in a
cast. will spoil the effect Of all others.
The only theater Is the Bella Union
variety. Here they have a few
good actors, bur heaven save the
public from the rest.
The jail is the weakest institution

it is guarded by men who shoot to

visitors. A few days ago, called at
the Jail, and on showing my star, was
admit, ed. A pine-log hut, thirty feet
long BY twenty wide, and inclosing a
smaller hut to which were iron gra-
ting doors, was all that resembled a
Jail, unless it was the noisy inside. i
walked around the inner hut, and
made up my mind that, II it was not
for that kind OF guard. wouln only
want a good case knife to bid the Jail
farewell. The structure Is white
washed, and surrounded by six foot
fence. Some day raid will be made
on 1t by road agents, and the prison
ers liberated.

A correspondent OF the Gin ncinnati
Commercial relates an incident In the
career of Beaconsfled which occurred
in 1874. While addressing q local
literary club OF young men he said;
~Man can be whet he pleases; every
one u you can be exactly what be
designs to be. have resolved to
hold certain position, il I live, I
will The only limitation required
for that statement is that it Is not for
visionary people. For reasonable
and practical people it is a Law only
limited by the powers Of endurance.
We recall a number of young men
who entered active life with fixed
purposes. and Of them all only one
failed. His defeat came from strong
drink. Among them are teachers,
lawyers, editors, business men, and
educated farmers, all occupying the
front line. One of the most useful,
reliable and successful flnanciers in
Chicago came to the West, with a
fine academic education, and the
trade OF a shoemaker. He sat down
with his awl and lspstone. and reso-
lutely "pegged away" until he was
called into more profitable employ
ment. He kept "pegging away"
metaphorically till he was worth his
million. ard able to give away his
money by the thousands. Young
men do not realize the possibilities OF
resolute determination, and intelli-
gent perseverance, because they are
discouraged by wrong comparison.
The young man feels that he is no
match for men OF wealth, position
and ability OF middle age. He for
gets that his competition lie not with
them, but with those OF his own age.
The older man will be pressed out OF
the way by age or death, and he will
find himself on an equal terms with
all about him-differing only, more
or less, by the improvements of
natural advantages which each have
made. Starting fairly. and in a fair
open field, he can win the race II he
so chooses.

teenth century there should be not
only the necessaries of life for those
who toll, but comforts and luxuries

What is a reasonable price for
labor I answer: Such a price as
will enable man to live; to have the
comforts of life; to lay by a little
something for his declining years, SO
that he can have his own home, his
own fireside; so that he can preserve
the feelings of man. u.
Every man ought to be willing to
pay Tor what he gets. He ought tc

The man who wants two dollars
worth of work for one is not al
honest man.

to improve their condition. That il

There is something wrong when mel
