"Jack tells a story of starvation-living three weeks on pumpkins while his father went to mill.
"James and Andrew Leech, America Risher, John Loper, Abner Fuller, James Roach, Stephen Law, known as Captain Law; Milton Williams, John Hollingsworth, Alonzo Wil- liams-say, have you seen an erect sprightly, boyish-looking, little man on our streets? Well, that is Alonzo-Granville Wesfall, Mark Mabry, Amos and Abraham Sayer, William Sanders, Peter Winegar, who built a mill ; Martin Hood, Wil- liam T. Wade, who built the old courthouse; Isaiah Robinson and Ann Robinson, my first school teacher, who afterward married William McKnight; all these were settlers in Union township.
"The names of Rains, Ballinger, Shamberg, Ezra, Hip- sher, Harrison, Bawles, Benjamin Garfield and Jacob Rhodes are familiar. The homes of James Gilmore, a Kentuckian. whose wife taught school; of John Murray, deceased, his widow still lives in Chariton, and of Charles Oehlman were good places for a boy to go ; they always gave him something to eat.
"David Mercer, located on the Creek, east of Elex Mc- Main's, was an early settler and always opened his home to preachers. His wife, whom every one called Aunt Katie, was a sister of Eli Kammers, who recently died at Russell, Iowa.

to mention, Henry Finlay, when last heard of he was in Cali- fornia. He came from Ohio with his young wife, who lived with us while they built a house in the prairie just west of Derby. She died within the year, and now is sleeping with her young babe in the Chariton cemetery. Perhaps you have noticed the lone grave with an iron fence about it in the north- west corner of the cemetery, well, that is Mrs. Finlay's grave -the woman who was so cheerful, so kind to my mother, and won my boyish heart. She peacefully rests there-a martyr to the new country, waiting the resurrection and the gather- ing home of friends from far and near-ves-from the re- motest parts of the earth.
"The last few years have claimed many of these old pio- neers, perhaps before another Iowa winter has passed many more will be taken.
"Let us honor these men and women of the earlier days, who just as truly fought hard-won battles in conquering a new country as did those who are to meet tomorrow the de- fenders of our country and our flag. These two, early pio- neers and old soldiers, equally share our profoundest respect and homage."
LAND AGENTS
In 1850 the government land office was removed from . Fairfield, Iowa, to Chariton, and Robert Coles, a Methodist minister, was appointed register of this office. Mr. Coles was a Jackson democrat, and a preacher of more than ordinary ability. His services were secured at many camp meetings that were held in southern Iowa. With this office came a num- ber of men who made small fortunes as land agents. They became thoroughly acquainted with the lands in southern Iowa, and they were employed by numerous persons to assist them in selecting and entering lands. While as a general rule they were reliable and did good service in assisting specu- lators, as this class was called, in locating land warrants, vet some of them were wholly unreliable, and they did. in fact, cheat and defraud their patrons by deceiving them as to the correct description of the land they purchased. Money was scarce, and in order to obtain it for use in entering lands, men would and did pay as high as fifty per cent interest for it.
85
PAST AND PRESENT OF LUCAS COUNTY
There were then no usury laws in the state of Iowa, and in numerous instances, men made large profits by paying this high rate of interest for money to invest in lands, and then selling the lands at from $2 to $5 per acre.
They could obtain the title to a choice tract of land at a cost of $1.25 per acre for it, and then, perhaps the next day, sell it for $5 per acre. There was a tract of beautiful land lying southwest of Chariton, at a place then called Hickory Point, and the story was told that at least one-half dozen land speculators left Chariton with the full belief that they had entered and were the owners of this tract of land. Feeling grateful to the agent who had obtained this land for them, although they had to pay quite a large fee for his services, after paying taxes on this land for several years they awak- ened to the fact that their land was located in another town- ship from what they supposed it was.
A STREET RAILWAY
The city records show that in 1881 a corporation was organ- ized to build a street railway on some of the principal streets of the town of Chariton. The following are the names of the incorporators, to wit: B. F. Bates, Jacob Yengel, W. W. Miller, B. F. Murphy, E. B. Woodward, W. F. Hatcher, H. S. Glenn, L. F. Maple, S. B. St. John, A. E. Dent.
In view of the fact that none of these parties would likely engage in such an enterprise, and the further fact that such a road if built would not pay, but that all moneys invested therein would be lost, it is difficult to believe that said parties were in earnest In other words, it appears to have been in- tended as a huge joke. It seems to be a well known fact that a street railway or an opera house in a town or city of less than 25,000 people will not pay.
The city records are full of franchises granted to individ- uals and companies to construct and operate electric light and water plants. The schemes of such parties were to interest some capitalists to furnish the money required to start the same and make some money in the transaction.
At one time it was thought that the party to whom such a paper franchise had been granted had actually succeeded in securing the financial aid required to start the enterprise, from some St. Louis capitalists, but this proved to be a mis- take. Like all of these paper franchises it failed to develop.
86

However, it is now thought by some parties that a street railway from the C. B. & Q. R. R. depot, in the western part of the city, to the depot of the St. Paul & Kansas City Short Line Railroad Company's, in the eastern part of the city, would pay. One thing is sure, the city council would grant a liberal franchise to any responsible person who desired to invest some money in such an enterprise.
POLITICAL RECORD OF LUCAS COUNTY
The first election held in the county was on August 6. 1849, and the next election was held in April, 1851. At the August election the following persons were elected as county commissioners, viz .: Jacob Phillips, William T. May, and James G. Robinson. James M. Brown was elected clerk of the board of commissioners, and William S. Townsend was elected clerk of the district court; John MeMains, sheriff ; Samuel Mckinley, recorder and treasurer, and J. H. Way- nick, county surveyor, and James Peck, and Elijah K. Rob- inson, justices of the peace. The first coroner was elected at the August election held in 1853.
The first presidential campaign in which the people of Lucas county participated was that of 1852, in which the candidates were Winfield Scott, of the whig party, and Franklin Pierce, of the democratic party. There were 165 votes cast at that election. The democratic candidate re- ceived 85 votes, and the whig candidate received 80 votes. This vote shows that the parties were then about equally divided. However, the county, like the state, had been thor- oughly democratic up to 1854, when James W. Grimes, a whig, was elected governor by a majority of about five thou- sand votes over Curtis Bates, the democratic candidate.
At the next presidential election in 1856 there were cast 819 votes. The Buchanan electors received 355 votes; the Freemont electors received 288 votes, and the Fillmor elect- ors received 176 votes.
At the ratio of five in a family to each voter, the popu- lation of the county would then be 3,270. The next year, 1857. Lucas county gave her first republican majority. From that time the republicans have had a majority of the voters in the county, ranging from 100 to 400 votes.
87
PAST AND PRESENT OF LUCAS COUNTY
At the last election, in 1912, Mr. Wilson, the democratic candidate, received 963 votes, and Theodore Roosevelt re- ceived 845 votes, and the regular republican candidate received 939 votes.
Notwithstanding the republican party for the last twenty- five years has had a majority of at least 250 votes, yet during this time democrats have held the county offices about one- half of the time, which shows that the republican party is not hide bound in Lucas county.
THE WAR RECORD OF LUCAS COUNTY
Lucas county may well feel proud of her war record. She promptly responded to every call that was made upon her for soldiers, and many of these soldiers were among the best citizens of the county, such men as Warren S. Dungan, N. B. Gardner, J. D. Sarver, O. L. Palmer, Daniel Iseminiger, Eugene Edwards, W. H. Gibbon, and many others who could have filled important positions in civil life with honor to themselves and credit to their country.
General Lee, and many prominent rebels, who professed to have been opposed to the war in the beginning, when asked why they afterwards concluded to cast their fortunes with the rebels, universally answered that the reason for such action on their part was that Mr. Lincoln called out 75,000 soldiers to invade the South. Now suppose that we state the same proposition in different words. That is, "Mr. Lincoln called out 75,000 soldiers to enforce the law of the govern- ment ;" or, that "Mr. Lincoln called out 75,000 soldiers to protect the property of the government, which was being destroyed by a mob."
Thus it seems that the excuse offered by this class of per- sons above mentioned is very thin; in fact, there is no com- mon sense or honesty in it, and it seems passing strange that such men as Robert E. Lee would offer it. When the South organized a force to attack and destroy Fort Sumpter, what else could Mr. Lincoln do but to call out a force to protect Fort Sumpter? This was his sworn duty, and if he had failed to do this duty he would have found his name recorded in history as either an enemy of his country or a man wholly unfitted to perform the duties of the position he occupied.

Fortunately for the country, Abraham Lincoln proved to be a man eminently fitted for the task of crushing the greatest rebellion known to history, and preserving the union of the states under the best government devised by man.
The following is a copy of Mr. Lincoln's memorable call for soldiers to suppress mobs, and enforce the laws of the United States:
"Whereas, the laws of the United States have been, and now are, opposed in several states by combinations too power- ful to be suppressed in an ordinary way, I therefore call for the militia of the several state of the Union to the aggregate number of 75,000, to suppress said combinations and execute the laws. I appeal to all loyal citizens for state aid in this effort to maintain the laws, integrity, national union, per- petuity of popular government, and redress wrongs long enough endured.
"The first service assigned forces will probably be to re- possess forts, places and property which have been seized from the Union. The utmost care should be taken consistent with our object to avoid devastation, destruction, and inter- ference with the property of peaceful citizens in any part of the country; and I hereby command persons composing the aforesaid combinations to disperse within twenty days from date. I hereby convene both houses of congress for the 4th day of July next, to determine upon measures for the public safety as its interests may demand.
"(Signed ) ABRAHAM LINCOLN, "President of the United States.
"BY W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State."
In pursuance of this call made by President Lincoln for 75,000 soldiers, Samuel J. Kirkwood, the great war governor of Iowa, promptly issued the following
Proclamation
"Whereas, the President of the United States has made a requisition upon the executive of the State of Iowa for one regiment of militia to aid the Federal Government in enforc- ing its laws and suppressing rebellion, now, therefore, I, Samuel J. Kirkwood, governor of the state of Iowa, do issue this proclamation, and hereby call upon the militia of this state immediately to form in the different counties volun-

teer companies, with a view of entering the active military service of the United States, for the purpose aforesaid.
"The regiment at present required will consist of ten com- panies of at least seventy-eight men each, including one cap- tain and two lieutenants to be elected by each company.
"Under the present requisition, only one regiment can be accepted and the companies accepted must hold themselves in readiness for duty by the 20th of March next at the fur- thest. If a sufficient number of companies are tendered, their services may be required. If more companies are formed and reported than can be received under the present call, their services will be required in the event of another requisition upon the state.
"The nation is in peril. A fearful attempt is being made to overthrow the Constitution and dissever the Union. The aid of every loyal citizen is invoked to sustain the general government. For the honor of our state, let the requirement of the President be cheerfully and promptly met.
"SAMUEL J. KIRKWOOD.
"Iowa City, April 17, 1861."
