watchers for each candidate to prevent
frauds at the Democratic primary,

tx. PUBLIC CORRUPTION.

Exposed and confessed corruption
and graft in some branches of the state
administration make it certain that the
same conditions exist in other branches,
not yet found out by the public. The
best interests of the state demanded a
change in party control in the state
offices, so that the books may be opened,
dishonesty exposed and all grafters
turned out.
XXI. THE WELFARE OF THE STATE.
"The discredit brought upon the
state administration by the Democratic
party and the impotence shown by it in
national affairs make it the duty of the
voters of the state to shake off their
allegiance to such a party and to vote
independently with sole regard to the
welfare of the state.

did have ure-enough pigeon
pies" The pigeons left here in
1850, and never returned, and
what became Of them or where
they went, we never learned.
Quails or partridges were here
in abundance. About wheat
harvest the "Bob White" could
be heard in every direction about
the wheat fields. In those days
men scarcely ever shot the par
tridges, but would let them alone
until winter for the boys to trap.
The energetic boy would have
from one to four traps set in diff
ferent parts of the farm, and he
was usually successful, espec-
tally in cold, bad weather, when
the "Bob White" would come in
to the farm 10 get some food.
The crows and bIackbirds were
very annoying in the spring of
the year. They would take up
the young corn, and had to be
shot, or scared away from the
fields.

There were a great many birds
here in the early days; the wild
pigeon, quail or partridge, the
prairie chicken, the dove, snow
bird, redbird, blackbird, crow,
wild ducks, geese, and other
birds of various kinds.
The wild pigeon was the most
numerous. In the falls and win
ters Of 1S47, '48 and '49, they
were here by the millions. They
roasted on the ridge or little bill
north of the John S. Medley mill
and creek. Their roost was from
half to three-fourths Of G mile
wide and near two miles long,
and every part of the trees, limbs
and bushes would be loaded as
thickly as could be with pigeons.
At night one could hear the trees
and limbs cracking and breaking
from the weight of pigeons, and
men and boys would 60 to the
roost at night and get ali the
birds they wanted. One method
was to shoot among them. This,
however, kept them disturbed
and moving all night. Not to
shoot among them, one could
knock them off the lower limbs
with long sticks, and if one would
get among them in the bushes
and not make any noise, he
could take them from the roost
by hand and kill and sack them.
| have seen and helped to get
saeinsf ii alte. sackstul IN this
way. They would make a noise
all night by singing and chatter
ing, and those near them could
not hear each other talk in a
common tone of voice. You had
to halloo to make yourself un-
derstood. If no one would shoot
among them or disturb them in
other ways during the night, all
the pigeons would leave their
perches and go to the ground
about an hour before daylight,
and if one was at the roost then,
by moving noiselessly, he might
pick up as many as he could car
ry home. They were generally
pretty fat; we're good to eat, and
furnished meat for the people
here for two or three months in the
late fall and early part OF the
winter. Men and boys would
come ten and fifteen miles, on
horseback and in wagons, and
get all the pigeons they wanted.
Our campfires would be built
outside the roost and generally
on some elevation, so if our
torchlights went out we could see
where to 60, for it was intensely
dark in the roost, and we fire.

pigeons rising by the thousands
to fly and tanning out our lights,
