Lake Brady, August 7, 1891.M. Clewell, President, and all Business

Men of Ravenna:I' write you to congratulate you on the

immense success or your nrst businessmen's picnic at Lake Brady yesterday andto assure you of my appreciation of yourmost hearty and liberal support m my rt

to build np this place. Feeling thatyou grasp the fact that the development ofthe beautiful lakes that Nature has placedat your door is a step toward further de-

veloping the beauties of your alreadypretty town, especially the lakes that areaccessible by railroad, as it brings intoyour vicinity business men and representa-tives of manufacturing enterprises fromthe different large cities that surround Ravenna and I trust that the conduct and management of the place will be such that youcan point to it with pride as one of thebusiness enterprises that have come to stay.Again I thank you for the cordial supportthat Ravenna has shown me from thestart and trust that our future relationshipwill result to our mutual benefit, loucan rest assured that you are always welcome. Yours Sincerely,

A. G. Kent.Ravenxa, August 10, 1891.

Mr. A. G. Kent, Lake Brady:Your kind letter of the 7th, addressed to

me as president of the first annual picnicof the business men of Ravenna and to allof Ravenna's business men is received. Iam sure that I voice the sentiments of every one of my business associates in ac-

knowledging your courtesy and that we allfeel that your own liberality and the generous treatment extended to us on the oc-

casion of our picnic by yourself, helpedlargely to make our first annual picnic thegrand success it was. It occurred to meon the day of the picnic that it was fittingand eminently proper on our part, to makepublic acknowledgment of your kindnessand hberalitv. But the vast throng ofpleasure-seeker- the constant changing.etc., did not present a suitable opportunityat that time. Therefore 1 am glad of thisoDDortunitv and in the name of the Ravenna Business Men's Picnic association.allowme to tender vou our nrofound thanks forthe couitesies extended. Also in this con-

nection I want to make public acknowledgment thanking our business associatesof Kent for their kindly inclosing their places of business and joiningwith us in the festivities of the day. Alsoto all our friends and acquaintances forthis generous response to our invitation, astheir presence assured us or their willingness to help make our picnic a success,which it was. It is a source of regretto me that there is and has been for a longtime, so little friendly and social inter-course between us, the citizens of the twincities. Kent and Ravenna. This shouldnot be so. Our interests are very closelyallied. Gatherines of the kind recentlyheld are mutually profitable and pleasant.They bring us together and tend to makeus better friends and neighbors. Theworld is large and there is room for all,The pleasure of social intercourse shouldnot be sacrificed in the rush and hurry after the almighty dollar. I feel warrantedin pledging you the hearty support and en-

couragement of every business man in Ra-

venna and our citizens without exception.Feeling coufident that under your generousand liberal management. Lake Brady Resort will continue to be more and more attractive and become one more of the prominent and permanent attractions of out already beautiful surroundings, I am

Among the IndiansThe following is an extract from a home letter

of Max. Riddle, who is now doing work for theColumbian Fxposition among the Indians ofNorthern Wisconsin.

Keshena, Shawano Co .Wis.. July 1891

I have just relumed from what is probablythe most interesting trip I shall have the privilege of making while among the Indians, and Iwrite to tell you ab ut it while it is fresh in mymind.

Last Friday morning an Indian came into thestore just across from the Agent's office, andsaid (here was to be a "Dream Dance" awayupon the northern part of the reservationhad been saying that I wished to see one, andwhen I came down to the store a clerk there,who has been a good deal or help to me in dil- -

feicnt ways (he is an Indian), told me about it.I immediately set about devising some way to

get up there. But before I tell you how I sueceeded I had better explain about the Indians alittle more fuily. The Menomonie tribe consistsof two very distinct factions, the Catholics andwhat ore generally termed the Pagans. Theformer are quite good church members lorIndians, but the latter still observe their ancient rites, most prominent of which is the

Dream Dance."The Jfagans nearly all live at a distance from

Keshena, very few speak any English, and moreover they are much the harder of the two factions to transact any business with, as they areso suspicious. Very frequently they literallywon't have anything to do with a person theydo not know. 1 herefore the difficulties in theway of my visiting them seemed very great.butnot half as bad as I actually found them on look-ing the matter up a little more fully. In thefirst place, instead of being fifteen miles away.as I at first supposed, they were aciuilly twentymiles, and the road there one of the worst in theUnited States. Put 1 went to work to devise away to so. I had not been at it an hour ii.l ifound there was a bridge down on the way, andthat I could not get the horse I had expected totake. I hurried around trying to get a horsewhich 1 could drive part way and ride the rest,but did not succeed. Finally, when I had abou tgiven up in despair, the Indian in the store saidhe had fixed a way for me to go. What thatway was you will find as I go along.

Ihe next morning air. Winans, with whom Iam boarding, drove me to Crow Settlement, adistance of five or six miles. The road liesthrough a dense forest, and is really not a roadat all. but an Indian trail. Just wide enough forone vehicle, and pretty tight squeezing betweenthe protruding branches at that. The way isdoubly hard the fact that there is scarcelyaspoton which thesindis not a foot deep. Butwe arrived at Crow settlement in the course olan hour and aud Mr. Winans left me atthe house of an Indian named Keokuk. ThisIndian is one of the old Mcnomonee stock, andis called the prophet of the tribe, becau e heclaims to be able to predict the coming ofstorms &c It was after one of his relationsthai Keokuk. Iowa, was named. He is ratherabove the average Indian in intelligence, .butcan speak only a few words of English As Icould not speak Indian, we were not able tocarry on an extecdoi conversation with eachother. However, he had been fully instructedbeforehand, and bad consented to take me upamong the Pagan Indians, I to l ido his horseand he to walk. You would have been surpris-ed, as I was, to see the saddle he brought out forme to use. It was nothing bnt a mere frame-work, but when he had fixed it on the horse behad made It the most comfortable saddle I everrode. He first put about two inches of old coatsand bagging on the horse's back, on top of thatthe framework, and over all a heavy blanketWhen he had everything fixed we started off, hewalking ahead and 1 following on the horseandforthe who e fifteen miles he walked atat such a pace that the horse could hardly keepup with him. The scenery was by no meansmonotonous, even if there was nothing buttrees the whole way, as there was constantchanging from sandy to boggy, and then torocky land. At one place we vent for half amile through timber over which the forest fireshad passed. The fire had not burced the treesentirely down, but had simply killed them, andthere ther stood, like an immense grove of flagpoles, minus bark and limbs and tapering frombottom to top with perfect regularity. Everylittle while we crossed swampy places, wherethe read had been repaired by building a corduroy road, and anything more diOicult to rideover could hardly be imagined. It was made oflogs, with every now and then two or three logsmissing, leaving a big bole for the horse to fallinto. In one place we made a long detourthrough the woods, by a narrow foot path, andforded the river, since the biidge was down atthe regular crossing place. About seven hoursafter leaving the settlement, we came in sightof the first of the Pagan houses, and also tbefirst of the Indians I had seen in this section,tie was the handsomest Indian I ever saw andwas dressed in romantic style, with his tightfitting legging, beaded shirt and broad brimmedhat, decorated wilh a leather and silver orna-ments. He directed us to the next house, andwe soon arrived there. Here my guide mademe understand by signs and a few words thatwe would stop a while. We tied tbe horse andentered tie log house. The Indian family wereseated on the ground eating their dinner, whichconsisted of potatoes, fat pork, bread and tea.The latter is the great Indian beverage, andtbey drink it three times a day, for breakfast,dinner and supper. This house was a sample ofall the Indian houses in this region. It wasbuilt of logs and roofed with birch bark. The

Ravenna's (Ming!

Fully 7,000 at the Merchants' Picnic !

A Gala Day of PicnicPleasures I

A stranger coming into Ravenna last Thursday,would have found a city of buildings only, andwould no doubt have been impressed with thenovel idea of having so many residences and business houses for so few people. Ihe stores andmanufactories were all closed, and the sound ofindustry was exchanged for the quiet of inactivity. Save the striking of the town clock, andthe clang and whistle of the swiftly movingtrains, no sound greeted the ears of the few whoremained at home. In some localities of townthere was 'iteraJly no sound of any oharaeter.for

there can be no sound where there is no ear tohear it."

The fact is. that all Ravenna went to BradyLake that day, to engage with the people of theCounty at large in the pleasures of an old fashioned basket picnic and for once leave all business cares behind them, and lock their doors onall that pertains to trade and traffic.

The invitation was extended to everybody.andeverybody accepted. One thousand tickets werestamped at the C. k P. office, and the first traincontained fully that number of people, who goodnaturedly pushed and crowded their way into theears and on the platforms, until there was nomore room for passengers. The second train wasalso loaded. Add to this number that of thosewho went by private conveyance, and there werefully 2500 who went from Ravenna, alone. Hundreds drove in from the country, direct to thegrounds, while two-thir- of Kent also closed uphop. and with their farmer friends in that viciu

lty, joined in the merry festivities of the day.It was by far the greatest day at Brady since

the opening of the resort. Mr. Kent, the propritor, who has been accustomed to large crowds

for many years, estimates the number of thosepresent to be fully 8,000. and his judgment, basedon a life-lon- g experience, is probably as near oorrect as that of anyone. 7.000 is none too high,and probably is an underestimate.

The Windham and Atwater Bands furnishedexcellent musicand if the boys did not earn theirmoney, then no laborer was ever worthy of hishire. They " kept the woods-ringin- " constant-ly, anl it is but just to say that their class of music and execution are very superior, far ahead ofthe average country band, and better than thatafforded by many towns of 5,000 people. Windham and Atwater citizens may well feel a pridein their bands.

There was no lack of amusements in additionto the regular program. Boating, roller coastingand bathing afforded recreation for hundreds,

' while hundreds more found enjoyment in therounds of an August dance, which, to say theleast, made a good sale for lemonade and pop.

The social feature of the occasion was of courseone of the most enjoyable. People met and vis-

ited uninterruptedly during the day, for the firsttime, perhaps, in months, and to them the hours,although heated by the sun of Summer's latestmonth, were fraught with the happiness of friendgreeting friend.

The day was wholly given up to having a goodtime, and uo one thought or suggested even asmuch as the probable date when the carbonworks would be in operation ; Campbell and

were forgotten, and even the ocming con-vention of the Government store house saviorsfoiled to lure men's minds from their ecstatic picnio mood. Nature was radiant in smiles andblossoms, and as much as the people could do soin the trying temperature, they enjoyed what thegood old dame had prepared for their entertain-ment. Not an accident happened, and ths day'sprogram was carried out uninterruptedly to theend.

Probably as much interest centered in the twogames of ball as in any of the sports. The boysplayed good games for amateurs, and many pro-fessionals have played less interesting games.They were hotly contested from the beginning,and attracted a great crowd of spectators, whothoroughly enjoyed them to the end.

The first game was between the Grocers andDry Goods men, composed respectively of thefollowing personnel:

Captain of Grocers' nine, H, Smith.Battery, Gunder and Webber. Kinney, Bart-le-

Robb, Bradford, Cooley, Smith.Captain of Dry Goods nine. Will Marsh.Battery, Beckley and Hill, Weigand, Clark,

Webb. Paltzgroff. Smith, Merts.Five innings were played, and the score was as

follows:Grocers 1 2 3 4 5

0 0 2 3 0--5Dry Goods 0 2 0 0 02

The boys covered themselves with dust andglory, and retired amid the cheers of the specta-tors.

The prize was a box of cigars from W. T. G run-de- l.

Miss McKane. a young lady employed at theBrady Lake hotel, secured the sailor hat offeredby Leffingwell k Holden to a lady throwing aball the farthest. Mrs. Sherman, of Ravenna,made almost as good record as the winner.

The following participated in the throw:Mesdames Sutliff, Shaw, Caris, Cook, Green,

Misses Olin, Daisy Ceylon, Mrs. George Harper.Miss May Witter, Mesdames Henry Smith, Tick-no- r.

Misses Gert. Richardson. Lina Harmon,Jennie Jones, Dunan, Mrs. Kate Holt. MissMiller, Mesdames Rob. Grohe. Barber, little Ma-bel Skeels, Miss Myers, Mesdames Morley. Chas.Pitkin, Bissell, Miss White, Mesdames MoCor-mic- k,

Caris. Broker; Schick, Akron; Carney,Smith, Liliia Stinger, Sherwin. Misses EmmaCaruthers, Bettie Kelley, Kate Williard.

In the Farmers' Foot Race, the 1st prize.a pairof Ravenna made Shoes, from Rumbaugh kChapman, was won by N. Jones, of Charlestown;second prize, 1 lbs. of Tea, from . M. Roberts,was taken by J. O. Myers, of Alliance. Rob,Rohan got 3rd prixe.a Farmer's Companion, fromC. A- - Myers. The other contestants were N, H.Bower. S. L. Eldridge, F.J.Campbell, CharlesGouldin, and Clint. Severance.

In the Sack Race. Art. Merrill, W. E. Long,and Frank Elliott secured the prizes.in the ordernamed, consisting of $3.00 Hat from J. C. Beattyk Son. Silk Umbrella from P. W. Snyder, Breadand Milk Set from W. A. Jenkins k Co.

The second game of base ball was played be-

tween Merts k Riddle men and the Painters.The M. k R. nine was made up as follows :

Battery, Pedlow and Whitlock. Hartlerode,Barton, Baxter, Lee, Hare, Clark, Everett.

The Painters' nine was as follows :Battery, Shager and Gunder, Torpey. Fisher,

Judson, Walters, Andrie, Richardson, Ticknor.A. S. Cole, Esq , umpired both games.This game was watched with great interest as it

progressed. The tremendous pitching of Pedlow.who is a member of the Ohio State Universitynine at Columbus, and a quasi professional, wasa tower of strength to the M. k R's, who scored14 points in the five innings, to 0 for the Painters.

The score was as follows :Merts k Riddle 1 3 3 4 5

0 7 7 0 0- -14

Painters 0 0 0 0 0The prize was a Box of Cigars from Bierce k

Cowles.The Free for AH Foot Race secured seven start-

ers, among whom Arthur Whitlock secured 1strise, a Diamond Soarf Pin, from F. C. Park ;

Clint Collins, 2nd. Gold Sleeve Buttons, from L.J. Goddard ; Ed. Barber, 3rd, Pocket Knife, fromJ. J. Richardson.

The Smoking Set prize, from A. J. Wenham'sSons, in the Merchants' Egg Race, was won byF. C. Park, who. although the last to reach thecoal, got three whole eggs. Slow time, with in-

tact eggs, was better than an early arrival, withbroken egg shells. The other contestants wereE. A. Taylor, J. H. Jones, and Frank Chapman.

H. L. Searl made the best score at the ShootingGallery, and got a pair of Slippers from FrankMcTye. the popular shoe dealer of Ravenna. Hegot 57 out of a possible 60.

In the Donkey Race, Tracy Jones secured theprize of half dozen White Shirts, offered by D.M. Clewell. Frank Sohn and John Richardsoneame out respectively 2nd and 3rd. John hadhud luck, for his feet dragged on the ground,and before he got around, instead of being on topof the donkey, the eondition of affairs was ex-

actly reversed ; but as John is sensitive.we won'tay anything further about the matter.Great numbers remained to attend the dance

in the evening, and the terpsioorean devoteeslost themselves in the gay whirl of the bewitch-ing art, in happy oblivion to the high registeringthermometer. Mr. Kent kindly told the Mer-chants' Committee they might have what theycould make from the dance, and in this way theysecured f19.00 as a nucleus for a picnic fund nextyear.

The affair was a great success, and afforded aday of enjoyment to thousands of people. Nowthat the ice has been broken.we hope and expectthat a Merchants' Picnie will be one of the an-

nual events of our oity, and be a permanent in-

stitution among us.

terward- - lie got out some tobacco we hadbrought along and entered the tents where theIndians were lying about. lie presented the

to ono who was lying beside a large drumtrimmed with beads and silver ornaments. TheIndian put the tobacco on a small platform infront of the drum, where tobacco was kept con-

stantly for them to fill their pipes from. My

guide stated our business and they examined usclosely. We soon found there would be no difficulty in buying specimens of their bead work.at- - we were soon flooded with offers to sell various pieces, but I did not buy much, as I thoughtI cou d do better elsewhere.

Tbey told us there was to be a dance that nightat a house about a mile distant, and after remaining here a short time we started, but hadnot gone tar before it raiued, so we stopped intt anolltu.- houso to wait for the rain to ceaseThis house was somewhat different freni any Ibad been in. It had only one room, and allaround against the wall was a sort ot platformabout a foot high and five ieet wide, coveredwith bark and rush mats. On this platform theIndians were sitting. There was no stovo. buta fire was built on the ground In the center ofthe room, and a hole in the ceiling allowed tbesmoke to pass through. The Indians movedaside and gave us room to sit down. Afterhad been sitting awhile I turned around andwhom should I see curled np behind me but alittle old Indian named Kyanomihe. whom Ihad met in Keshena, He was the funniest look-

ing creature I ever saw, with a great broad facewhich was constantly smiling. I think be musthave been considered a sort of innocent by theothers, as he was too good natured for an IndianI had measured him in Keshena and it struckhim as being very funny 'he didn't understanda thing that was being done to him) and soevery time I saw him after that he had a broadm-i- on his fa.-e- . While we stayed here thewomen were busy getting supper. They madea kind of bread and baked it in a spider before

the fire, and had a soup of meat and vegetablesto eat with it. They asked me to have some,

but I thought I would not partake We foundhere that the white man with whom we expected to stay all night lived six or seven milesaway, so we had to find another place We

heard of a pace and aftjr an hour's wanderingthrough the woods, found the house. The Iniian who keDtit said we couldstay. The housewas like the others, except cleaner, and hadseveral beds They prepared us asupper whichwas clean enough, considering the surroundings. but consisted only of bread, potatoes, porkand tea. After supper we started for the placewhere the dance was to be held, a mile away.

When we arrived the Indians had already ommenced dancing. The house was much largerthan any I had seen, and must have been thirtyfeet square. Neirly everything uau oeea saseuout to make room for the dancers We weregiven seats near the wall beside some of .the

Indians taking psjt. The weirdness of thescene can hardly be described. In the center of

the room was a large drum, around it sat a dozen Indians. Around this circle was an outerone of thirty five more, who took seats next thewall in the intervals of the dance.

The danca was about as follows:. One manwho seemed to be tha leader, gave one tap wilhhis drumstick on the dium, then another didthe same, till all were pounding the drum. Atthe samo time they sang a song apparentlywithout words. The noise, lor it was nothing

in volume at times till it was

almost deafening, and again sank almost to

nothing. While this was going on those on theoutside stood up. held up their light bands. andkept time to ihe music with their feet, occasionally jumping and running about, and uttering terrific warwhoops. At times also the menwould cease singing and the mu-:i- c was carriedon by a few squaws sitting about on the floor

From time to time there were ceremonies gonethrough with which I could not understand'such as the waving of a pipo over the drummers, and other things of a similar nature.Every little while a pipe was carried aroundfrom which everyone had io take a few puffs,

During the intervalsof thedance speeches were

made by an immense big Indian. The dancewith slight variations was continued for overtwo hours, uniil they had neorly tired themselves out. when it ceased wth a sudden crushof the drum. The whole party started home by

a narrow path through the wojus, marchlntrue Indian file. I will admit that Idid notlcelparticularly courageous about this time. Iheonjy white man alone with fifty Indians in thewoods at night. But they proved to be as peaceable as could be, aud we arrived safely at ourstopping place.

The next morning we made a long detourthrough tbe woods, visiting about a dozen morehouses, at some of which I made a few purchasesof costumes, etc. About noon we started forKeshena, where I arrived in tho evening, having walked the last six miles. The journey wasonly interrupted by the sight of a bear, whichhurried off through the woods on our approach
