THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A6UE AND

Hoosier Pioneers of Fifty Years Ago En-
countered Many Perils That Their Chill

"Clean Up" of Criminals
Copyright, 1881, by American Press Assooia-
toni
There is an old story 10 the effect that
in the '40s an eastern tourist was cross
ing the Ohio TO land for the first time on
Indiana soil, when he noticed on the
boat lank and yellow visaged man who
seemed sunk in the deepest melancholy.
To him the tourist spoke thus:
''Are you an Indiana mani"
Indiana! Nor Numbered the other;
SIN a Kentuckian. I've been on big
drunk; that's all that ails me!'
He was whisky soaked and slightly
malarious, but still rejoiced that he was
not a Hoosier. And Indiana people can
now afford to admit that there was much
truth IN the sarcasm, for Indiana was
not a very nice country fifty years ago.
The very fertility of the soil made it
deadly TO the pioneers. A strip some
forty miles wide, and extending up the
Wabash as far as Fountain county, was
settled by one grand rush from Kentucky
and adjacent southern states; the native
timber was rapidly cut from about one
fourth of the lands, and when the black
earth, half rotted roots and debris of ages
of growth was rapidly turned up by ths
plow and the hot summer sun shone upon
it, there went up a literal SAVIOR of death.
Men and boys fell on all sides, and the
other sex only suffered less because not
so much exposed TO morning fogs. From
July till November there was generally
one sick in every house, and many an old
citizen tells of riding ten miles lat a
stretch" without finding at any one
house enough well ones TO wait on the
sick, much less TO cook dinner for a
stranger.
The winter and spring were times of
comparative ease, save that IN April a.
most every one took "bitters," COM
pounded of whisky and Wards" 10
purify his blood" Then during the
growing season things went fairly well.
But when the turn of the season came
on-that is, when the vegetation began
to part with its juices to the air-when
the August nights began TO lengthen and
the mornings grew cool, when the vile
"ague worm" crawled over the bare
cabin floor, then all animated nature
seemed to languish. The very dogs
whined instead of barking. the cattle
moved sluggishly and seemed TO low

she was not of noble blood, her friends

the Republican general Bonaparte. A
reversal of their decision followed when
the consulate gave way to the empire
