excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most

OLD SETTLERS
MEET AUGUST 10
James cruilkshank Writes An Enter
tanning Letter About the Early
Times.

James Cruikshank, of Donnellson,
president of the Lee Coun,y Old Set
tiers association, which meets in Dom
nelson on August 10, writes the foi-
lowing entertaining letter about early
times In this section:
We look back some thirty years and
remember how many people would
come to these yearly meetings. We
could count old settlers by the huni
reds and thousands But time has
thinnsd our ranks and we can nov
only number, between one hundred and
1850 and probably not over one thons-
and or fifteen hundred that lived here
before 1860. We should be anxious
to come together to talk of our fathers
and mothers who settled here when
the country was new and endured the
hardships of a new country. There
are a great many men and women,
who are children of those old pioneers,
who should come together and talk
of what they did and how they lived
We should not forget what they en-
dured that we who live here now
might enjoy such nice homes and be
so much better fixed than they were.
think know something about this
change We would pay 25 cents for
letter from friends or on business,
and YOU all know how it Is now. They
sold wheat for % cents bushel and
the pay was one-half money and the
other half store goods. Corn was ten
cents per bushel, pork $1.50 per hun
dred. net You know how they sell
now.
What wish to emphasize In this
letter is that the folks OF Fort Madi-
son, Montrose and Keokuk should
come to the Old Settlers reunion at
Donnellson on the 10Th. You have
good opportunity to get here and it
will do you all good to come where
there is penty of fresh air. The
people of the country and the smaller
towns will meet you ard have good
hand shake, Clear to the shoulder"
as Uncle Dan Miller used to say. The
citizens of Donnellson are doing all
they can to accommodate those who
come.
Lee county is one of the oldest his
torical counties in the state of Iowa.
We have more old history than any
other county, probably. Dubuque
had the first settlement by the white

TIMES CHANGED
ON THE RIVER
Quincy Herald Bemoans the Fact That
Negro Sailors Are No Longer
Thrown Overheard.

The Quincy Herald sheds tears OF
regret at the great change which has
come over the river, for rolstabouts
and cabin boys are no longer thrown
overheard or burned at the stake. it
says:
The mighty Mississippi still flows
on It's untrammeled course to the
sea. as 1t did In the old days when
"a line of boats the wonder and the
envy of the floating commerce of the
world piled on its sullen surface
There is little of the old story left.
Pages have been written about the
river and its changes, the decline of
the steamboat business and all that,
but yesterdays tale Of the Dubuque
is one which proves that the days are
indeed different.
1t has always been the custom to
have negro roustabouts, deckhands,
cabin boys, table walters and the like
on the big boats. In the old days a
mates below was enough to send a
half dozen niggers scurrying over the
boat, and swing of his good right
fist clutching a Delaying pin was the
signal for half the ROSTERS on that
side to jump in the river.
The changes of the present day
are proven by the following story:
Yesterday morning the Dubuque was
coming down and at Keokuk a table
waiter asked the second clerk for a
chew of tobacco. Think of the gall
OF such thing anyway! The clerk
Indignantly refused. as any white
man naturally would Then the vel
low boy slapped him famiiiarly on
the shoulder. swore that he was as
good as any white man, and demand
edfor a second time the chew Then
and not until then the second clerk
hauled off and knocked the stuffing
out of him. A row started but not
coon was killed. Shades Of the
immortal Dan Breen. Think what
would have happened to those coons
If Mate Hughey Menaugh had beer
on deck. or any other O half doz-
en- old timers who might be named.
1t was proof positive that there
has been a change on the river for
sure and no mistake. When the
boat landed here yesterday morning
nine of the cabin BOYS who had taken
part in the row We're given their
wages and put ashore. They sought
Attorney Martindale to have him
throw the boat out of the river by le-
gal process, he being the United
States commissioner, but that worthy
told them there was nothing doing.
No wonder the sand bars in the
Mississippi are getting their backs up
when such things happen and no
niger is made into alligator bait as
result.
