has had a very prosperous career, and now numbers some seventy-eight mem- bers. Thrice since its organization has death broken the mystic circle of its brotherhood, and taken from it three of its links. F. W. Miller, D. F. Gaylord and J. J. Harding, have been called on to take their places in the Upper Camp, and . to receive a higher degree. The present officers are as follows: C. V. Wilder, C. P .; J. E. Moreland, H. P., Amos Bye, S.

THE GREAT WESTERN BAND.

This musical organization is the out- growth of a band organized by H. T. Jones about fourteen years ago, and which was called the Atlantic cornet band. The fol- lowing were the first members of that or- ganization: Frank Needham, John Strater, W. F. Needham, Rudolph Zuch, William Wiles, Henry Moeller, Henry Jacobson, Robert Bain, Benjamin Wiseman and H. T. Jones, leader. The band continued under this organization, with the excep- tion of a few changes in membership, until July 1, 1880, when it was reorgan- ized and christened the Atlantic Opera Band, with a membership as follows: N. K. Aldrich, J. W. Love, H. T. Jones, F. E. Whipple, Henry Jacobson, Henry Moeller, Rudolph Zuch, D. W. Disbrow, A. D. McCall, M. W. Sauerbrumm, R. F. Bain and N. K. Aldrich, leader. Not long after the reorganization of the Opera Band, they were mustered into the ser- vice of the Iowa National Guards, and were then known as the Third Regiment band, with J. W. Love, leader. In March, 1883, they were mustered out, and on the 19th of that month a reorgan- ization was again effected, and the band was then incorporated, under the laws of Iowa, as the "Great Western Band, of Atlantic, Iowa," which name it still sustains. The officers of this incorporation at present are: J. W. Love, president and musical director; H. T. Jones, business manager, secretary and treasurer; the membership and roster is

as follows: J. M. Haver, drum major; J. W. Love, Ist Eb; N. K. Aldrich, 2d Eb; Henry Jacobson, Ist Bb clarinet; H. T. Jones, solo alto; Henry Moeller, Ist alto; E. V. Burke, solo baritone; R. Zuch, 1st tenor; W. G. Wiles, 2d tenor; Marcus Kennels, Bb bass; A. D. McCall, Eb tuba; M. W. Sauerbrumm, bass drum; R. F. Bain, snare drum. This organization have the honor of being the only incor- porated band in the State of Iowa. They have by untiring labor and efficiency of purpose, accumulated property to the amount of $2,800, are entirely out of debt and in a flourishing condition. The honors and reputation received by this band as being one of the best in the State, are largely due to Fred Haver, now a res- ident of California, who was not only a skilled major, but understood military tactics thoroughly.

PRESS.

The first newspaper printed in Atlantic was the Cass County Messenger, by H. C. Johnson, who removed his office from Lewis in the spring of 1869. The paper is now called the Atlantic Messenger, the publisher being J. H. Willey. The sec- ond paper was called the Daily Free Press and was established in the summer of 1869 by Upham and Sibley, E. O. Up- ham being the editor. In July or August, 1870, the paper suspended. In February, 1871, Lafe Young established the Atlantic Telegraph, which he continues to publish. In the spring of 1876, a new cylinder press and steam engine were put into the office. In May, 1874, D. M. Harris, estab- lished a Democratic paper called the Cap Sheaf, which he conducted until the fall of 1875, when he sold the office to James

Pugh, who started a temperance paper called the Northwestern Journal. The Journal lived until the spring of 1876, when it was suspended. Shortly after the suspension of the Journal, the ma- terial was used in reviving the Cap Sheaf, by J. A. Crawford and others. The revived paper lasted but a few weeks. December 1, 1876, Goldie Brothers and Collins took possession of the office and started the Atlantic Democrat, with Charles Collins as editor, which lived just three months. In August, 1880, the Cass County Democrat was founded by Charles

F. Chase, who is running it yet. Several other papers have been run here, all of which are noted at length in the Press chapter, ir an earlier part of this book.

S. E. Huse was the first justice of the peace, being appointed in 1869. He held the office but a short time.

At the general election in October, 1869, Atlantic won the county seat, from Lewis. The vote stood for Atlantic, 618; for Lewis, 275; majority in favor of At- lantic, 343. The county offices were moved from Lewis to Atlantic in December, 1869. The main contest over the county-seat matter, and the main excitement, was at and previous to the June meeting of the board of supervisors, when that body was' asked to order a vote on the question of removal. For weeks before the supervi- sors met, men were scouring the county with petitions and remonstrances, and there was not a man in the county but what had signed one or the other, and some vertebrateless fellows had signed both.

Tuesday July 18, 1871, about 5 p. m., a rain and hail storm passed across Cass

county, from the northwest to the south- east, doing a great deal of damage to crops. The storm belt was about five miles wide. In Atlantic, the damage to buildings was severe. A new brick store room, just up and enclosed, belonging to Stafford and Hawks, was blown down. Its size was 23x80 feet. D. F. Hawks and A. D. Boyd, were in the building at the be- ginning of the storm, trying to put boards up in front to protect the plastering. Mr. Hawks escaped without injury, but Mr. Boyd was struck on the head by a falling pillar, and considerably injured. He re- covered. John Lawson, a Swede work- man, was buried in the ruins, but was taken out and found to be not seriously injured. The new Presbyterian church was damaged to the amount of five hun- dred dollars. Much damage was done to property in town by the breaking of win- dow glass. The storm was very unusual, none like it ever occurring in this section before or since.

FIRES.

February 8, 1871, Atlantic suffered her first serious loss by fire. On that night several buildings located where the Con- rad and Huse brick buildings are now, were destroyed, as follows:

S. T. McFadden, druggist, building , $2,000, stock $5,000, stock mostly saved. P. Kirby, boot and shoe dealer; building $900, stock $3,500. George W. Barber, jeweler, suffered the loss of a building, and most of his stock saved. Stafford and Hawks. dry goods dealers, lost very largely of their stock. McGrew and Loofhourow, lost a building worth $1,500. J. B. Mc- Grew lost in grocery stock $540. Build- ings belonging to King Brothers, and Mr.

Green were also destroyed, that belong- ing to the first named parties being the house occupied by Stafford and Hawks. J. H. Barnwell, M. D., and C. F. Loof- bourow, attorney, lost books and papers of considerable value. Lucy Allman, photographer, lost goods pertaining to the photographic art, to the amount of $150, probably.

A GREAT CONFLAGRATION.

The following account of the great con- flagration which visited Atlantic, Christ- mas morning, December 25, 1880, is taken from the columns of the Cass County Democrat:

Saturday morning last, while the fire laddies and their girls were engaged in tripping the light fantastic, and the bal- ance of Atlantic's populace were wrapped in slumber, the fire bell began to clang,and it was soon known that a fire had broken out in the building occupied by Messrs. Rathbun and Winters. In a very short time the fire boys were at the scene, and awakened by the continued ringing of the bell and shouts of fire, the citizens began to arrive by hundreds. When first discov- ered the fire was an incipient blaze, and from one who was on the ground first we learn that it seemed to be confined to the counters of the building. The hose was soon in readiness and a stream playing upon the counters, putting the fire out there, and it had just begun to be noised about that the fire was conquered, when it was discovered that flames were issu- ing from the sides and roof of the build- ing. Turning their attention thereto the boys worked with terrible energy to con- quer it, but the stream was licked up by the fast increasing volume of flame, and

it was soon patent that the block could not be saved and that every building must burn. It then became in order to tear down adjoining buildings, and they came down rapidly. In the meantime the oc- cupants of the buildings had been hard at work, assisted by hundreds of willing hands, and the store rooms all along the street were gutted of their contents and carried to places of safety. By three o'clock the scene was one worthy of an artist's pencil to portray; the lurid flames leaping skyward, the crackling of burn- ing buildings, the shouts of the command- ers of the fire companies, the falling of buildings being razed by the crowd, the thousands of people loaded down with goods taken from the store rooms, the pile of goods in the street, the grotesque maskers coming from the ball, and the crowds of fair women lining the opposite side of the street was one never to be for- gotten, and which, we hope, Atlantic will never see again. The character of the night was favorable for Atlantic, the wind blew but the faintest breath; had it been otherwise, or like unto Sunday night, in- stead of noting the destruction of one half a block of buildings, we would have occasion to note the destruction of over one-half of the town; even as it was, burn- ing bunches of boards and shingles were carried over six hundred yards from the fire. In all the block there was not a brick building, it being made up of frames erected in the hurry of the beginning of the town, and there was nothing to break the speed of the fire. From this the city should take warning and prevent the erec- tion of buildings in the heart of the city

which endanger the entire town, in case of a conflagration such as this.

The Watson blook on Fourth street was insured for $2,000; loss abont $2,500. In one room was Harlan and Ostren, gro- cers, whose loss was covered by insurance. In the next room was Needham's tailor shop; no loss. Applegate and Company occupied the next room as a packing office. They saved their office furniture and fixtures. Next was Gould's barber shop, from which everything was carried in safety. In the upper story of this building was W. P. Egbert's photograph gallery, from which but little was saved. No insurance; loss about $500. The building on the corner of Fourth and Chestnut was owned by Dr. Wilkins, and occupied by J. S. Harlan, boot and shoe dealer. The building is a clear loss. Harlan saved his stock in good shape and with but little loss, and that covered by insurance. The next building was Mc- Daniels', two stories, occupied below as a bank, by himself, and above by Isaac Hopper and Dr. Newlon. The building was not insured; loss $1,500. Isaac Hop- per loses about $500; no insurance. Dr. Newlon lost all his books and instru- ments worth about $400. C. Egbert owned the next building, the one in which the fire originated. It was occupied by W. J. Winters and P .. Rathbun; loss on the building $1,200; no insurance. P Rathbun had no insurance and lost about $500 in stock. Winters had $1,225 in- surance, and lost from $500 to $600. The next building was owned by Charley Minte, and occupied by John Acklin. No insurance on building or stock; loss on building $500; on stock $200. The next

901

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY.

building was occupied by W. Wildes as a second hand store. Loss on stock $100; no insurance. The next was J. S. Har- lan's, and occupied by Misses Dorey and Hibbard, milliners. Loss on building $400; no insurance. Loss on stock $1,200; insured for $300. The next building was owned by J. P. Gerberich, and occupied by S. W. W. Straight, druggist. Loss on building $1,000; insurance $500. Loss on stock $2,200; covered by insurance. H. T. Jones' building was next, occupied by J. L. Winnie, baker and confectioner. Loss on building $800; no insurance. Loss on stock $700; no insurance. The next was C. T. Somers' building, occupied by Mason and Sanders, grocers. Loss on building $1,000; no insurance. On stock $1,000; covered by insurance. The Odd Fellows building came next, occupied by Winters and Hill, grocers. Loss on building $500; insurance $300. On stock $500; covered by insurance. Next was Copeland's building, occupied by himself. Loss on building $1,000; insurance $750. Loss on stock covered by insurance. Next was Richard and Montgomery's building, occupied by W. A. Wakefield, butcher. Loss on building $400; no in- surance. Loss on stock small; no insur- ance. Next was Richard and Montgom- ery's building, occupied by Dr. Mont- gomery, druggist. Loss on building $700; insurance $500. Loss on stock $1,200; covered by insurance. On Fifth street was Dr. Emmert's office, owned by Em- mert and Montgomery. Loss on build- ing $250; insurance $100. Contents of office were all saved. In the second story over Montgomery's drug store. lived John Morris, who lost nearly all

his household goods; no insurance. The sheds and barns in the rear of the build- ings destroyed, were nearly all saved.

In the early stage of the fire, it was re- ported some one had been killed by a fall- ing building. This report, however, was untrue, the only accident happening being to Ferdinand Wood, who was struck and severely cut in the face by a falling ladder. This accident was not a very serious one.

After the block had been consumed, and the saved goods made as secure as possi- ble, the b'hoys concluded to make a night of it, and needing something to strengthen them after their arduous labors, they suc- ceeded in getting it, and from that time until morning it was one continual round of pleasure, for which they are in a large degree excusable.

The origin of the fire is unknown, but the general impression seems to be that it was the work of an incendiary. The truth or untruth of this can only be determined in the future.

The fire had scarcely died out before McDaniels had the lumber on the ground . for a temporary abode for his banking business. Copeland also had lumber on the ground Monday, and began the erec. tion of a temporary building for his gro- cery stock.

A TEMPERANCE TICKET.

At the city election in Atlantic, held March 2, 1874, the ladies nominated and elected a ticket pledged to further the in- terests of the temperance cause. It was placed before the caucus held by the gen- tlemen of the town, who endorsed it. A people's ticket was afterward nominated by the opposition. Early on election day the ladies were on the streets, armed with

902

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY.

tickets, and stood around the polls all day. Those of the ladies who were compelled to go home were released by recruits. They had carriages to take them back and forth. The band was also out in behalf of the ladies, marching up and down the street, but did most of their playing in front of the polls. An organ was mounted on a dry goods box on the sidewalk, and the ladies played and sang most of the day. There were also banners and mottoes displayed on many of the buildings. The ladies were treated with politeness and no rough language was used in their hear- ing. Very few drunken men were in the crowd and they were kept quiet. Great excitement prevailed all day, and each par y worked with great earnestness. No hard feelings existed between the parties, and all seemed as social and good-natured as could be wished. There was the larg- est vote ever before polled in Atlantic, of which the ticket nominated and labored for by the ladies received a majority of 56.

At the meeting of the board of super- visors in October, 1867, the following preamble and resolution were passed on the retirement of Cyrus Newlon, one of their associates:

WHEREAS, In the order of Republican institutions it becomes necessary for the elder members of society to give place to the younger; and

WHEREAS, The venerable friend, Cyrus Newlon, having been a member of this board for six years, and this in all human probability being the last time that he will meet with said board in his official capacity; then be it

Resolved, That in the discharge of his official duties he has ever been zealous to

the best interests of his constituents, and courteous and gentlemanly in his demean- or toward members of this board, and that our best wishes attend him in whatever position he may be called to fill.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, ATLANTIC.

The following annals of this popular church, written for this history by Rev., John Herron, was received too late for insertion in the Ecclesiastical chapter, and is therefore placed in this connection.

The Presbyterian church in Atlantic was organized October 10, 1869, by Rev. Sheldon Jackson and Rev. S. Phillips. The first members were Theo. Cushing, Joseph H. Smith, Mrs. A. Smith, J. L. Stone and Mrs. J. P. Stone. Messrs. Cushing and Smith were made ruling eld- ers. The place where the meeting was held was a school house on the northwest corner of Chestnut and Sixth streets. Atlantic had at that time a population of not more than eight hundred. The county seat still remained at Lewis. The new organization found a Methodist Episcopal and a Congregational church-each hav- ing a house of worship.

In the month of December, Rev. Mel- ancthon Hughes, a graduate of Miami University and of Princeton Theological Seminary, arrived and took charge of the field. Through the following winter ser- vices were held in the Methodist church on alternate Sabbath afternoons. May 11, 1870, the congregation held a meeting in the house of Mr. Laurenson, to consider the subject of erecting a church building. Mr. Laurenson presided. Mr. Hughes acted as secretary. Lorin Andrews and Mr. Hughes were appointed a soliciting committee. July 18th, a meeting was

903

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY.

held at Wm. Douglass'. Messrs. William Douglass, A. Fickes, Mr. Laurenson, B. F. Cady and J. L. Stone were appointed a building committee. Mr. Fowler later became one of the committee instead of Mr. Fickes, who removed from the com- munity. The contract for building the church was awarded to Messrs. Boyd and Willey for $1,712,exclusive of the founda- tion and the pews. January 4, 1871, Mr. Kirkpatrick succeeded Wm. Douglass on the building committee-the latter having removed to another locality. Mr. Laur- enson put the pews into the building for $150.

The board of church erection of the Presbyterian church assisted the building enterprise in the sum of $700. The peo- ple had settled themselves in their new house of worship and had grown slightly accustomed to it, when-July 18, 1871-a destructive tornado passed over the town, tossing the building off its foundation and placing it in an upright position near by. Much damage was done to carpet, organ, plastering, windows and the frame- work of the house itself.
