the effort was unsuccessful from the financial about 1897-98 by Henry Garn, as a German standpoint, and the paper had a short lease paper. It was an eight page, six column weekly advocating republican principles. Later it was published by Brandt and Neumann, succeeded by the latter individually, and was merged with and discontinued by the Inde- pendent in 1900. of life. Men interested in the former German weekly, the Anzeiger-Herold, formed a sepa- rate organization, purchased that part of the business before the venture was abandoned, and, by means of a stock company established it in a business place of its own. It was The Orchard and Vineyard was issued in 1871 from the Independent office, but B. L. Easley, a nurseryman, was interested with Mr. Mobley in the promotion of that agricultural journal. It continued publication for about one year. prospering and had begun to pay dividends when the war and its vicissitudes for all papers in that language came on, 'and at a meeting of the stockholders it was decided to change the paper to the English. Thus was born the Grand Island Herald which is doing a suc- cessful weekly publishing business.

THE FREE PRESS

The Free Press was established about 1893, when Augustine Brothers moved the Doniphan Eagle plant to this city and changed the name. I. M. Augustine later purchased the interest of his brother George and published an inde- pendent weekly with democratic leanings.

UP-TO-DATE IDEAS

Under that title The Up-to-Date Publishing Company issued a journal under the editorship of Penn P. Fodrea. This was a journal de- voted to the interests of advertisers and con- tained many good things for business men who spent money in advertising whether on a large or small scale. Mr. Fodrea after leaving Grand Island located in Omaha, and became one of the leading advertising men there.

THE VOLANTE

This publication is a monthly that has been issued by the students of the Grand Island Baptist College. It is a sixteen page paper, the usual periodical size, very ably edited in every department and printed on fine quality of book paper.

MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS

Numerous other publications have been started at Grand Island and flourished for a period of time and then passed out of ex- istence.

The Nebraska Courier was published along

The Mirror was a temperance journal, also called The Rechabite, founded at Grand Island in August, 1874, by J. I. Wylie and Miss M. V. Huston. In October of that year, Miss May Van Pelt took the place of Miss Huston. This Mr. Wylie who was a painter by trade had not long continued in the newspaper work when he was cowhided by Mrs. Mobley for an editorial assault upon her as a newspaper woman. This chastisement was inflicted upon Wylie in the Grange hall.

The Grand Island Workman was issued August 10, 1899, by F. G. Lockwood. In Jan- uary, 1890, the editor proclaimed his principles thus :

The Workman believes our tariff system, our land system, our financial system and our ballot system to be wrong, some in part and some in whole. The Workman will labor for commercial freedom, the single tax on land values, the Australian ballot system, and honest money. The Workman believes that the late confederation of the Farmers' Alliance and Knights of Labor to be a grand step in the cause of human happiness, and shall sus- tain, to the best of our ability, this union of action, which will be for good government.

WOOD RIVER

The Wood River Interests has been pub- lished by O. M. Quackenbush since 1894. Continuously and successfully under the man- agement of Mr. Quackenbush until very recently.

The Wood River Gazette was issued Sep- tember 9, 1881, by R. H. Miller who sold his office to James Ewing, March 2, 1882.

The Wood River Sunbeam, was published

there by C. C. Johns, succeeded by Mr. Malt- man, until removed to Kenesaw about the year 1905. Mr. Quackenbush, in 1919 sold his Interest plant back to Mr. Maltman, who, under the name of The Sunbeam is publishing a fine enterprising weekly.

DONIPHAN

The Doniphan Eagle was established by I. M. Augustine during the decade of 1890.

The Doniphan Index was established April 1, 1888, by Charles Kelsey, who in 1879 came to Hastings, and worked at the case there until his removal to Doniphan.

The Doniphan Enterprise, under the owner- ship of J. W. Beirbomer, is at present pub- lished as a live local weekly and is apparently enjoying a good patronage.

CAIRO

The Cairo Record was established by J. H. Harrison.

ALDA

A few years ago an effort was made to establish a small weekly but support was lack- ing and the effort was very short-lived.

THE MEDICAL AND DENTAL PROFESSIONS IN HALL COUNTY

THE DOCTOR - DOCTORS HERE IN THE 'SEVENTIES - EARLY PHYSICIANS REGISTERED - DUR- ING THE 'NINETIES - SINCE THEN - OSTEOPATHIC DOCTORS - HOSPITALS - ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL - GRAND ISLAND GENERAL HOSPITAL - DENTISTS OF HALL COUNTY -

DR. HOWARD C. MILLER - D. A. FINCH - BETWEEN 1885 AND 1896 - 1896 TO DATE

A quarter century ago the doctor, with his little grip-sack of bottles and boxes of pills, capsules, and bitter liquids, his little old buggy and faithful Dobbin now replaced by the automobile, no one considered whether he needed to know a great deal - he was just the doctor.

Call the doctor, first thing done when you are sick. He gets you well and perhaps his bill is the last one paid. But never more forcefully was the necessity of the medical profession as an absolutely essential spoke in the wheel of community life evidenced than during the terrible influenza epidemic of 1918- 1919. With a number of Hall County's doctors away in army service, the remainder worked until sheer exhaustion endangered their own health and constitutions, but they never failed the constant calls that came to them.

From an apprenticeship, assisting as a "buggy chauffeur" and office assistant to an older doctor, the requirements of this pro- fession have steadily advanced until five to seven years study in properly conducted insti- tutions are required, and many doctors add a short interneship in a good hospital to that course.

DOCTORS HERE IN 'SEVENTIES

The doctors in Hall County during the 'seventies were, B. B. Kelley, A. Thorspecken, Henry Bruhns, J. R. Laine, J. P. Patterson,

author of the centennial historical sketch of Grand Island in 1876, M. J. Gahan, and F. C., Churchill, homeopathic physician. Dr. Gahan graduated from the Galveston Medical college, entered the army as surgeon until about 1871, reentered as a hospital steward in the regular army until 1875, after which he came to Grand Island and began practice with a good fund of experience at hand. He was the first known surgeon in central Nebraska to practice ovariotomy successfully. He became surgeon for the G. A. R. and chairman of the State Medical Society, assistant surgeon for the Un_ ion Pacific and surgeon for the St. Joe and Grand Island railroad. During the 'seventies the offices of coroner, county physician and city physician were bantered back and forth among these half dozen pioneer doctors, and some- times the doctors indulged in that side-line hobby many physicians like to take a turn in, a good political scrap, and the files of the papers in the 'seventies indicate that the coroner was about as hotly contested as any office on the ticket.

Dr. Horace B. Lashlee had located in Palmyra, Nebraska, in 1877 and practiced there for four years and then came to Grand Island. Dr. Hogan J. Ring was an eclectic physician who located in Hastings in 1879, and removed to Grand Island in 1881. Dr. A. L. Stevenson located in Grand Island in the spring of 1877.

EARLY PHYSICIANS REGISTERED

The register of physicians dates back to 1881, and many of the physicians who reg- istered at the opening of that record in the office of the county clerk had been practicing in the county before that time, and should really be rated in the list of the 'seventies. The following compilation on the early phy- sicians shows the name, date of graduation, with name of alma mater when shown in the register, place in the county where they located; the word "practice" indicating train- ing in office, or by practice and admitted upon examination-without a medical college degree.

OSTEOPATHIC DOCTORS

The growth and development of osteopathy has brought a number of practitioners of that line of treatment to Hall County. The first one was Carrie B. Miller, in 1906. Florence Taylor Rusk registered in 1914; doubling the capacity of the institution. Ernest H. Brown, the same year; Victor V. Renicha, 1915; Josephine C.

Smith came in October, 1915; Anna H. M. Aye, in 1917; Herman C. Kuhr who came in 1917 is still located here.

There are a good many doctors listed in the foregoing pages who merely registered in Hall County for the purpose of temporary or transcient purposes, or to comply with certain provisions of the medical laws, and who never opened an office in any Hall County town, but the registration list has been taken as it appears in the office of the county clerk.

HOSPITALS

Mention has heretofore been made of sev- eral institutions which started in Grand Island about 1890, among these being the Nebraska State Medical and Surgical Institute, con- ducted by Dr. P. Janss; Grand Island Sani- tarium, by Alee & Free; and Medical and Surgical Institute of Dr. A. J. Sanders.

ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL

The St. Francis Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy is situated in the western part of the city, between Division and Koenig streets, thirteen blocks west of the court house grounds at Locust street. The Sisters of St. Francis purchased two acres from Charles Wasmer in May, 1885, and located their hospital, the work of building being at once entered upon, and on August 22, Messrs. Hedde and Cleary reported $422 received for the hospital fund

which was paid over to Sister Mary Magda- lena. They erected originally a fine two-story brick building, with a high basement under it, and about ten years or so later added to it a great two-story wing, and later another wing. In more recent years an entirely new buliding somewhat of the proportions of the first has been built adjoining the first, and

Early in 1887 a present of drugs and medicines were made by Parke, Davis & Co. to help- , the institution get started, and Dr. Gahan and Dr. Poe attended patients without charge for a short time, and C. W. New superintended the construction of a laboratory.

ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL, GRAND ISLAND

When the institution had been running one year, in 1888, a report was made that showed in the first year of its existence that 216 patients had been cared for, with nineteen deaths. These nineteen deaths were classified as to causes, as follows: typhoid fever, 11, old age, 4, consumption, 3. malarial fever, 2, lung fever, 1, heart disease, 1, and tumor 1. As to religious connections the patients were divided as follows: Roman Catholic, 106, Methodist, 12, Presbyterian, 6, Lutheran, 17, other protestant denominations, 47, no pro- fession of religion, 28. The sisters expressed a public desire to thank Drs. Poe, Gahan, Sanders, Stevenson and Fitch.

The annual report for the year 1916, almost twenty years later, showed the institution to have handled 350 patients during the year of whom 135 were charity patients. There were sixty-one surgical operations, and twenty- three deaths that year.

Of the patients during the year 176 were Americans, Austrians 4, Bohemian Z Douille

A classification according to religion is as follows : Baptist, 11, Catholic, 115, Christian, 7, Congregational, 4, Episcopalean, 4, Evan- gelical, 2, Greek Catholic, 10, Lutheran, 30, Methodist, 19, no religion, 138, Presbyterian,

GRAND ISLAND GENERAL HOSPITAL

19. There were 205 medical and 145 surgical cases.

The number of patients handled in this hospital in 1918 was 1,572; of these 1,230 were surgical cases and 342 medical cases. This explains the necessity for the improve- menst and extensions being planned for this institution.

Plans have been made to increase materially the capacity of the St. Francis hospital. This is to be accomplished by adding two floors to the old hospital building between the new hospital and the chapel.

The remarkable growth and development of this institution is explained by men more or less familiar with hospital service generally as resulting from both the superior service given and the increasing ratio of operations

in the elimination of human ailment. It is stated that even Omaha's hospital service does not excel that given by the St. Francis insti- tution.

In August, 1919, Sister Bianca, Mother Superior, left for another field and the Mother Superior at St. Elizabeth's, Lincoln, was sent to succeed her.
