ganization. These summer concerts arelooked forward to by our citizens andare appreciated by the them andstrangers who happen to be in our city.

tions in the churches are forbidden. Thesame conditions exist at Fullerton andsome of the other dry towns where aPuritan Sunday appears to be the de-

mand of the people.

The Jaajaei't Tairty-eiat- h lirthdayOn the llth day of May, ' 1870, in' a

little wooden structure, on the lot whiohnow stands the building occupied by A.Dussell aa'a store room, the first num-

ber of the Journal was printed, with thenames of Allen C. - Turner and M. K.Tamer, father and son, as publishersand proprietors. That was thirty-eigh-t

yeare ago, and in the. yaara that havepast since that day wonderful changeshave taken place.

When the first number of the Journalwas printed, Columbus had only 300 inhabitants. The business .part of thetown was then confined to Seventh streetand Washington avenue. Only one pas-senger train each way was run over .theUnion Pacific. The Fremont Tribune,North Platte Independent, and a paperpublished atSt. Helena, Cedar county,were the only newspapers printed in theNorth Platte country. The St. Helenapaper was established in 1857, and wasamong the first papers printed in Ne-

braska. It was moved to Hartingtonwhen the M.'and O. road extended itsline into Cecar county and became theorgan of the populists, and suspendedpublication when the populist partypassed away.

One year after the Journal was estab-lished, the late Edward Rosewater issuedthe first number of the Omaha DailyBee,and the press that gave to the public thefirst issue of the Bee was afterwardspurchased by the Journal and is now inuse and doing good work after sixty-fiv-e

years of active service. The founder ofthe Bee had often expressed a desire toM. K. Turner to purchase the old pressand place it in a conspicuous plsce in theBee building, but the sudden desth ofMr. Rosewater in the building, whichstands as a monument to his energy andability as a publisher, prevented thepurchase of the maohine on which theearly editions of his great daily wereprinted.

When the Journal first appeared itwas called the Platte Journal,tbut was afterwards changed to ColumbusJournal. When the paper was establish-ed, the oitizens of Grand Island wantedthe Turners to locate there, but theymade up their minds to try Columbusfirst, and if the venture proved unpro-fitable to move to Grand Island, and inselecting a name for the paper they weregoverned by circumstances liable toarise and in naming the paper thePlatte Journal, removal to Grand Islandwould not nave necessitated a change inthe name.

When the Journal was first establish-ed it was printed on an old-fashion-

hand press; it was a six-colum- n folio insize with columns 13 ems in width.The width of the column was a!terwnrdschanged to-1-2 ems, and later to thepresent width, 13 ems, which is now thestandard width for all newspapers.

In 1863, Andrew J. Stevens of DeeMoines, came to Nebraska and laid outan addition on the north side of the track.The following year the Clotber housewas erected and a little later other build-ings were put up. The Turners first at-

tempted to secure a lot in what was thenthe business part of town on Seventhstreet and Washington avenue, but theprice asked was so unreasonably high,that they concluded to purchase a lotbetween the two rival sections of thevillage, and erected a frame building on'the lot on Eleventh street where theJournal was published until the oldstructure was torn down and a concretebuilding erected.

Among the first to enroll their nameson the Journal's subscription list were 3.P. Becker, George Lehman, James E.and Major Frank North and JonasWeloh. The principal firms then en-

gaged in business in Columbus and "who

bad advertising space in the paper, wereJ. P. Becker, general store; Rickley &

rCo., dry goods; Boneeteel Brothers,clothing; Schram Brothers, clothing, andMarshall Smith, bakery. Messrs Beckerand Welch were also interested in one ofthe first grist mills erected in this partof the country, on Shell creek, nine milesnortheast of Columbus. It was to thismill that settlers came from as far westas Kearney and north as far as O'Neill tobuy flour.

In the thirty-eig- ht years that it hasbeen published, the Journal never mis-

sed but one issue, that was in October,1871, when Mrs. Turner, wife of thesenior Turner,- - died. All the Turnerfamily were sick with' the typhoid feverat the time, and it was impossible to se-

cure a printer to do the work'.Allen C. Turner passed away Septem-

ber 8, 1891. and Moses K. Turner, May22f 1902. For more than thirty yearsthe latter conducted the Journal on con-

servative lines, retaining the respect andconfidence of the community up to thehour of bis death. The following tri-

bute to his memory, written by a friend,is taken from the files of the Journal ofMay 28. 1903:

In conducting his paper be never al-

lowed personal feeling to enter into hiswriting; hie policy was to search for thegood in each person and help to encour-age them to do better by praising thegood qualities. There are few lines inprofessional life that admit of a chancefor personal vengence aa does the news-

paper, yet he never allowed this to inte-fer- e

with what he considered his duty.Indeed, be held no resentment in hisnature and was never known to slanderthe character of another. Many timeswhen a diagrsctful act was made public,and talked about.. he weald delay writ-

ing about it until ahnoattiaM for print

ing, hopisg ta.be snared, ia some way, apalatal daty In all his loeal aewa gath-ering be never iateatieaally publishedmatter that would stem to invade theprivacy of home. The golden rale, whichhe held as a standard for life, waa tralylived in thought aad action."

After the death of M. K. Tamer, theJournal was continued under the man-agement of the Turnera.

J. A Turner started to work ia theJournal office when the first number waaissued and was with the paper up to1904, a period of thirty-fou- r years, andduring that time enjoyed only two briefvacations. Ia-18-93 he spent five weeksat the World's Fair in Chicago, and. in1878 made n trip went and was awaythree weeks. George Turner still holdaa position in the Journal ofioe.

In 1894. Fred Abbott and Stewart'Kennedy purchased the plant from theTurner estate. Mr. Kennedy retiredfrom the firm and Mr. Abbott continuedthe business until the fall of 1896, whenbe retired, and R. G. Strother purchasedthe plant. On the first of the presentmonth O. J. 8tookwell ,purchased aninterest in the business and the paper isnow conducted under the firm name of8trother & 8tockwelL

"Fighting Beb'

"Fighting Bob" Evans, who wsa incommand of the battleship fleet thatmade the trip around "The HornMromthe Atlantic coast to the Golden Gate,passed through Columbus Tuesday af-

ternoon on his way east. Admiral Ev-ans haa been placed on the retired list,on account of ' ill health, after servingforty-eigh- t yeara in the navy.

When the train pulled in. a largeorowd was present to greet the distinguished traveler. Flags in the handsof school children waved a welcome tothe fighting admiral as he appeared atthe rear of his special car, supportinging htmselt on crutches. He thankedthe people of "Columbus for the demon-stration, which he considered was notfor him personally but ,to the navy ofthe country in which he had served forforty-eig- ht years. Looking down uponthe school children and the flags, he ad-- 1

monisbed the boys to keep the nationalbanner waving; to honor it, and also tohonor the giris and women, and everkeep in mind that "the band that rocksthe cradle rales the world." At the noelusion of his remarks a man standingnear the steps said something about"Bob" entering the Kingdom of Heaven, I

and the admiral responded that if hewas ever allowed to enter that placehe hoped to find plenty of water.

A writer in the Omaha Bee gives thefollowing brief sketch of the notedfighter's career:

"Evans wss sixteen years of age whenhe entered the naval academy in I860.When the war broke out bis family, being Virginians, endeavored to end hisschooling at the academy in order thathe might enter the confederate service.His mother went so far as to tender hisresignation, but, later, it was withdrawn and the young midshipmangraduated ahead of his time in 1863. Heat once entered the servioe of the Unionand fought gallantly to the close of thewar. The writer saw him at the navalreview in New York in 1893, and wasparticularly struck with his pugnacityof countenance and the halt in his walk.The former does not debar one fromservioe in the navy, but an impedimentin the limbs usually means retirementfrom the service. Admiral Evans is anexoeption to the general rule. The in-

juries which resulted in a missbspenleg were received in two engagementsthe naval assault on Fort SunipterinAugust, 1863, and the combined attackon rort ftinber in January. 1865. Hewas an ensign on one of the ships at-

tacking Foit Sumpter and bad charge oftwo guns. A shell came through tneporthole, cut a trench in the deck andbroke his knee-ca- p. He refused to gobelow to the surgeon. Stretching himself in the trench made by the shell hefought his two guns until the fight wssover. Conspicuous gallantry markedbis action at Fors Fisher. By the toesof a coin he won the leadership of snattacking party of 100. He was thefirst to mount the scaling ladder andreach the parapet, only to receive a bulletin the knee and three other wounds, andfell inside the fort desperately - injuredand a prisoner. The following day thefort was captured and Ensign Evans fellinto the hands of his friends. For . thisaction congress awarded him a goldmedal, and a little later paid him therare honor of contiaaing him on theactive list and exempted him from physi-cal examination as to disability.''

At the meeting of the Platte CountyMedical association, held at the councilChamber Monday afternoon, the following officers were elected for the ensuingyear: Dr. Geo. K Pugh. Platte Center,president; Dr. C A. Allenberger, Colum-bus, vice president; Dr. P. EL Metz,Humphrey, treasurer; Dr. H. G.Morris.Greston, secretary. Dr. W. 8.
