HISTORY OF HALL COUNTY NEBRASKA

Early in 1900 Mr Hedde indicated to his associate that he desired to sell the plant, clear up the small indebtedness on his business building, and be ready to meet the grim reaper whose coming the sturdy old pioneer - a pioneer both with reference to the physical community and with reference to the daily newspaper field - in fact welcomed, welcomed with the stoicism of a clear conscience and the realization that he had already run a course of four score years and had done the best he could. Because of lack of means on the part of his associate Mr. Hedde's expressed wish that the latter should take over possession of the paper could not be fully met; but the latter set about to organize a company of ac- tive young newspaper workers who, with him had been engaged in the newspaper and print- ing field in Grand Island, and of four of these, two, namely Mr. Fulton, secretary-treasurer of the company and its business manager, and Mr. Baldwin, vice-president and in charge of all mechanical equipment, still cooperate and, together with the newer acquisitions, have played a material part in the subsequent suc- cess of the company. At the time of the organization, however, it was necessary to se- cure the investment of other capital. This was undertaken with some concern at the time, even though the amount needed was, compared with values of today, small, for no newspaper venture, thus or similarly organized in the past, had ever paid back any of the principal, to say nothing of interest on the investment. Mr. Buechler was confident, however, his con- fidence being based on his experience in the establishment and his plans for future de- velopments, that he could safely guarantee an earning of ten per-cent and when C. F. Bentley, then cashier of the First National bank, showed his confidence by a subscription of $500 to the stock, and W. H. Harrison, postmaster at the time, did likewise, no great difficulty was encountered. Among others who assisted in the organization were A. W. Buch- heit, John Alexander, and Henry Rief. The promises as to earnings were kept and no stock was ever sold at less than $107.50. Every stockholder has since been repaid that sum or

a larger one for his investment, or has been offered the same. Shortly after the new firm had attained possession and was in going form Mr. Fralick had an opportunity to take up the advertising work for S. N. Wolbach, for which he had a special aptitude, and he dis- posed of his stock.

Sickness compelled Gus E. Neumann to re- tire from active work, though the latter always retained his financial interest. A. D. Boehm later purchased part of the interest disposed of by Mr. Fralick. For nineteen years this co- operative enterprise has been conducted with- out change in its leading officers, namely A. F. Buechler, president, F. G. Baldwin, vice-presi- dent, and J. R. Fulton, secretary. During this period it has completely changed its equip- ment with the exception of a few old desks kept rather as momentos than for use, has purchased a site, erected and equipped a new building and grown in circulation from a total of 1,100 daily and semi-weekly combined to over 7,000. In the same period the population of the city has about doubled. Its present stockholders are A. F. Buechler, J. R. Fulton, F. G. Baldwin, Adolph Bochm, Gus E. Neu- mann, R. R. Horth and Henry Rief. The paper is a member of the Associated Press. has the full day leased wire service of the Chicago-San Francisco Circuit and is generally accredited by the press circles as covering its field with a generous and enterprising service.

In the meantime, Mr. Mobley had remained with the Independent as business manager of the paper until about 1891, when he was ap- pointed World's Fair commissioner. At that time A. F. Buechler, who had a few months previously been associated as solicitor and re- porter for the Daily Times, came to the Inde- pendent as bookkeeper and reporter. When Mr. Mobley left for Chicago late in 1892 Mr. Buechler advanced in the business manage- ment and took charge of the local news. In 1895 Geddes & Buechler leased the paper and continued its publication until 1897, when Mr. Hedde desired to "get back into the harness," retaining Mr. Buechler as a silent partner. Mr. Hedde's declining years began to tell more emphatically upon his health, however, and he

was frequently compelled, for weeks at a time, to lay down the pen which he had so ably, independently and fearlessly wielded for so many years.

THE GRAND ISLAND WEEKLY TIMES

The Grand Island Weekly Times was estab- lished July 16, 1873, by Charles P. R. Williams as a Republican journal. During the fall of 1873, this publication was issued as the Daily Evening Times. Vol. 1., No. 1, was issued on October 4, 1873, and the daily issue was con- tinued during the heat of the fall campaign. During this campaign many sharp exchanges occurred between the two papers. In its first number the Daily Times quoted from the Independent of September 28, 1872, as fol- lows :

When a man receives a nomination by fair means, then we consider, that, unless he is a very bad man, it is our duty to support the regular nominee, but when it is known that the nomination of a man has been brought about by unfair means, then we consider it not only our right, but our duty to refuse to sup- port the nomination, thus setting forth an in- ducement for the use of anything but honor- able means in the future. It has got to be a prevailing feeling that if a candidate re- ceives the nomination by means fair or foul, his party must support him. According to our ideas of right, this course is entirely wrong, and all parties should be taught that unless their nomination is brought about in a proper way, it amounts to nothing.

In answer to this The Times remarked edi- torially :

That's our doctrine exactly, Mr. Independ- ent. The nominations at the so-called Re- publican Convention, September 20th, were brought about by unfair means, and conse- quently we refused to support the nominees, and "Do so even at the risk of being called a 'bolter,' or even an 'ass' by the gentle- manly editor of the Independent, who does not want to know the facts in the case."

A little farther down the column, the same journal remarked:

We actually managed to find one Independ- ent in 1872, in which there was nothing abusive concerning Mr. O. A. Abbott, and that was the week when both its editors were both absent at the State Fair. Strange!

In January, 1882, the Semi-Weekly Times was issued, and a few months later the office became the property of W. H. Michael, and after his term of ownership, Mr. Livering- house acquired an interest in the Times. Messrs. Ryner and Rice then became owners, and in a short time Mr. Ryner became sole proprietor. He in time sold to C. W. Stidger, who sold in September, 1888, to Bion Cole, formerly of the Des Moines Mail and Times, and W. H. Scarff, of the Newspaper Union of Des Moines.

THE DEMOCRAT

Next following the Independent and Times, of those papers which survived for any length of time came the old Grand Island Democrat. This journal was founded in 1875 as the Hall County Democrat by George W. Tref- fern, from whom the office passed to Lee and thence to W. H. Weeks, under whom that publication ceased. Later on The Democrat, appeared again under the editorship of Ed J. Hall. In 1898, the paper that bore that title was being published by the Democrat Publish- ing Company, revived in 1896, and edited by J. F. Ritchhart, an editor who had formerly been in South Omaha. At that time the Demo- crat was the representative of Jeffersonian and Jacksonian principles, but also acting as the organ for the democratic-populist fusion forces.

Hall and Jacques edited and published the paper for some time, when Mr. Jacques re- moved to the south. They were succeeded by J. F. Ritchhart, of South Omaha. Monroe Taylor then succeeded for a time in the edit- ing of the journal and was followed by the Messrs. Adams & Risley. After the death of Mr. Adams, Mr. Risley sold the paper to Robert Evans, and the latter finally sold the publishing part of the business to I. M. Aug- ustine, then publisher of The Free Press, the Democrat thus becoming merged and event- ually entirely submerged.

HISTORY OF HALL COUNTY NEBRASKA

and Charles Boehl. Henry Garn had been a settler at Grand Island in 1866 and taught school in the village until 1879. In 1883 Mr. Boehl sold his interest to Garn.

The Herald (American) was established August 2, 1885, and issued from Henry Garn's office, then publisher of Der Herold.

In May, 1888, Ed J. Hall took charge of The 'Grand Island Herald (American) for Henry Garn, who had charge of the two Heralds. In January, 1889, Mr. Garn sold the Grand Island Herald to Mr. Hall, and in July, 1889, he sold the German Herold to Mr. G. M. Hein. The office of the American Herald was then moved to the Bartenbach Opera house and its publication continued there.

Its circulation in 1890 was about 800. Mr. Hall, its editor, had then been in Nebraska newspaper field for about eighteen years, fifteen of which he had spent with the Saunders County Times.

Mr. Hein continued the German Herold with a circulation of about 1,200.

Weltblat, a German weekly newspaper, was controlled by Mr. Hein. It was established by him January 1, 1889, and was one of the few Plattdeutsch (commonly known as Low- German) magazines published in the world then, and had a circulation of about 1,100 copies.

During the time that Mr. Hein had the German Herold, he merged it with the An- zeiger, a journal which he had established a number of years previous, and thus formed the Anzeiger-Herold.

Later, the combined Anzeiger-Herold came under the control of J. P. Windolph.

During the year 1918, upon the demand of the County Council of Defense, though no charge of disloyalty was made against it, this journal changed its name to Herald, and be- came an English publication.

THE CENTRAL NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN

After Mr. Mobley terminated his services as superintendent of the Nebraska building at the World's Fair, he returned to Hall County and later went to Wood River and bought a

weekly paper, the Wood River Gazette, but sold it again after a short time. He then returned to Grand Island and started a paper that attempted to be a second republican paper in Grand Island, known as the Central Ne- braska Republican. For about three years paper continued as a weekly paper only, and then was extended as a daily paper under the same name. This continued to exist until it was purchased, about 1898, by N. Fodrea and son, who, approximately a year later, sold it to I. M. Augustine, then publisher of the Grand Island Free Press (weekly) who continued the publication until 1902, when its subscrip- tion list was sold to the old, but newly reorgan- ized competitor, The Independent.

The Grand Island Free Press was a profita- ble venture as long as it remained purely a weekly, with progressive democratic or pop- ulist leanings. But the venture into the daily field, as the successor of the Central Nebraska Republican, about ten years previously, had not been profitable, disinterested newspaper men generally ascribing it to the fact that the field had once been occupied by one daily newspaper and was too small for two. After disposing of the daily business Mr. Augustine, by this time joined in business by his elder son, E. W., continued the weekly publication and, in the course of a few years, purchased the plant of the Anzeiger-Herold, continuing both publications.

In 1913 a number of Grand Island citizens, including W. H. Thompson, F. W. Ashton, B. H. Paine, and other leading democratic spirits, placed financial support behind the effort of D. A. Geil, then of St. Paul, to es- tablish a democratic daily. The Free Press and Anzeiger-Herold combined plant, incor- porated at the time for $10,000, was purchased. Additional capital was added to establish a daily and new machinery was obtained and an elaborate news service for a morning daily was secured. Even the established journal, in a greeting to its competitor, expressed the belief that it might find the field sufficiently resourceful for a second daily newspaper ven- ture. But despite the fact that there was nothing in the nature of any newspaper "war,"
