FIFTY YEARS AT CHARLES CITY.
{ (B. F. Wright In the Charles City
Press)
It is precisely fifty years ago this
very 7th day Of May, 1907, since the
writer alighted from one Of the coach
es Of NJ. o. Walker and landed ut the
doorway Of the Kelley hotel in Charles
City, Iowa, and we lacked three months
Of being 20 years Of age.
Joe Kelley kept hotel by piling plenty
of venison, prairie chicken, quail, trout
and pike fish, corn bread, hot biscuit,
mashed potatoes, sweet butter. abund-
ance OF fresh milk, all the men Sleep
ing In one room, school section and
everybody wiping hands and faces on
the one towel. In that time 1t was
lawful to sell whisky by the gallon and
no limit to the quantity to be drank.
Rowing companions of the Sioux and
Winnebago Indians came here every
week Eggs sold for cents per dozen,
dressed pork for $50 per hundred,
butter cents per pound, dressed beef
2Aa cents. Mems wages from $12 to SIS
per month. Hired girls 81 per week.
Three and four families lived in the
same house, whilst a lot of people lived
IN the prairie schooners in which they
rode, to this place. Bradford was the
metropolitan city OF the valley and st
Charles was called the settlement at
the end Of the COW path. thru the big
woods. cemetery had been laid out
but 1t had but few graves in 1t. II
now has nearly 1000.
We could fill this whole paper in
writing Of the persons and conditions
of things here when we first came here
fifty years ago. We have mentioned
only just few.
Elder Brayton, only pastor Of Bap-
list church. A. IL Collins was the
county judge, Joshua Jackson was the
county judge Joshua Jackson the
county treasurer, William Montague
sheriff. Lands were selling for 81 81
to SIS per acre. There We're but few
regularly travelled laid out roads in
any part of the county. No bridges
across any Of the streams in the coun-
ty. Railways were not dreamed of
then. All goods were hauled here from
Dubuque or McGregor by horses or
cattle. Hildeth & Carver published
the only paper in the Cedar valley, the
Intelligencer.
Everybody gave every other body the
warm hand Of friendship. No person
was better or worse than any other
person. One nelghbor was welcome to
sit down at his neighbours table and
partake Of a square meal.
Aristocracy was unknown and one
family was accorded the same treat
ment as received by all other families.
At that time a person was adjudged
for what he weighed as a citizen and
not for the amount Of dollars he had
in his pocket.
How things have changed around the
Scircle. Will there be as many changes
In the fifty years to come?

War Sanders had to win his game
Wednesday afternoon. for his new bride
was sitting In the grandstand viewing her
irst game OF the season and the FIRST game
she had ever seen War pitch. He had to
win to keep peace IN the family, for Mrs
Sanders Is q-ite fan herself and would
have nothing else from the little Tonnes
seean. He won, all right, although Omaha
made the fewest hits and the most errors
and had three men left on bases to ten for
Pueblo. He won by the score Of to g.
in spite Of the fact that Selee's Indians hit
him in every inning but the eighth.

balloons and It looked on occasions as
though he was 20 be slaughtered For
the first four innings the first man up
not only made safe hit. but hit the first
ball that was pitched, but that did not
Tease the little southpaw, who kept his
even gait and finally was returned a win
ner
The first inning looked real disastrous for
Omaha, for not only did Cookie make
safe hit in the first ball pitched, but Ryan
did likewise, and the lanky First Baseman
McGllvray sacrificed them each ON for a
base. II behooved War to settle down a
little, and he did so. with the result that
lone crossed the pan in that inning
Melchor hit to Sanders who nailed Cook
at the home plate, and then, when Melcholr
tried TO execute a double steal with Ryan
Gonding threw to Sanders who relayed the
ball on 70 second and caught Ryan.
Thrce-BaERer for Aubrey.
Omaha did better in its half Of the first
Belden was an easy out and Franck hit
for single. Aubrey won the plaudits Of
the crowd by Landing a hot three-sacker
down the first-base line WEIGH hit In
about the same place for single, scoring
Aubrey, and then went to second on a
passed bail. Dolan was given life on
McGilvray's error and Welch. came home
on a squeeze play which caught Dolan at
second, making three runs.
A combination Of two hits and two errors
gave Pueblo three runs in the fourth in
ming, tying the score. McGilvray led of
with double and Franck threw wild to
first on Melchoir's grounder, scoring Mac
Elwert hit for a single and scored Mel
choir. Harms hunted and Austin threw the
ball away in an attempt to catch him at
first, letting Elwert score. That was all
Pueblo made during the game.
The tie was broken in the sixth inning
by Omaha making two runs by good, clean
hitting, Aubrey led off with a single and
WEIGH followed suit putting Aubrey on
third. Dolan flew out to Cook, Aubrey
scoring on the throw, and Welch went to
third. Austin hunted safe, bringing WEIGH
home. That ended the scoring and Mrs
Sanders went home happy.
