After this disaster the town authorities estab- lished fire limits; that is, forbade any wooden buildings on the two blocks used for business purposes. This explains why Fifth street is now built up solidly with fine brick houses. The most serions fire since that of 1879 was in 1884, when six buildings on Main street, between Fourth and Fifth, were de- stroyed.

The year after the great fire a chemical engine was bought by the town, and three years later a hand engine. These are now seldom used. In 1884 $11,000 was expend- ed in providing the town with the present

is built in the north part of town, on high land. It is fifty feet from the ground to the bottom of the tank, which is twenty feet high, thirty feet in diameter, and will hold 3,300 barrels of water. The latter is supplied by a wind-mill. Twelve hydrants are dis- tributed through the town, and two hose-carts earry sufficient hose to reach almost any building from some hydrant. The apparatus is kept in a $600 building at the corner of Fifth and Court streets, ereeted by the city in 1883. J. Thompson is chief of the fire department, which is composed of a hook and ladder company, with sixteen members, Will- iam Louther, foreman; No. 1 Hose Company, twenty members, R. D. Backus, foreman; and No. 2 Hose Company, eighteen members, John Lobel, foreman.

BANKS.

The oldest bank in the county is the Bank of Carroll, which was opened in 1868 by O. H. Manning. He sold in 1876 to W. L. Culbertson, and in 1883 H. W. Maeomber and R. E. Coburn were admitted as partners. W. L. Culbertson is President; H. W. Ma- comber, Vice-President, and R. E. Coburn, Cashier.

The Carroll County Bank was established in 1870 by W. T. Minehen. Patterson Brothers became proprietors in 1881. A. W. Patterson is President; W. J. Patterson, Vice-President, and Henry Haag, Cashier.

Griffith & Deal were in the banking busi- ness for several years, but retired from the same.

SCHOOLS.

The first school building at Carroll was erected in 1868. It was 40 x 40 feet in size, two stories in height, and contained four rooms. It was used until 1880, and then torn down. In that year the north side building was constructed. It is of brick, two stories in height, and contains six rooms. In 1883 the south side building was erected. It is also two stories in height, but has but two rooms. The two buildings have cost about $15,000, exclusive of lots. The north building is heated by steam; the south one by furnace. The debt of the district is $14,500; annual expenditures about $6,500. Nine and a half months school are taught. The course of study now in use was adopted in 1884 through the influence of Professor H. E. Hammond. Beginning with 1873, the principals have been: A. E. Swisher, 1873- -'74; Joseph Bookwalter, 1874-'78; J. M.

Paul, 1878-82; D. K. Bond, 1882-'83: L. Derby, 1883 '84; H. E. Hammond, 1884 '87.

CHURCHIES.

A Congregational Society was formed in 1871, and incorporated in 1872. During that year and 1873 a church was built at a cost of $2,300. A $250 organ had been promised to the first society that should build, and was thus seeured by the Congre- gationalists. Rev. J. W. Piekett was the organizer and first pastor. Revs. Porter, Palmer and others afterward preached. Ser- viees were held most of the time for six years, and the organization then disbanded in March, 1878.

Presbyterian Church .- Rev. George R. Carroll organized the Presbyterian elarch at this place August 28, 1870, with five mem- bers-L. McCurdy and wife, W. H. Tibbils and wife, and Mrs. Kelsey. A briek church was built in 1875, which was destroyed by the memorable fire of 1879. The present church was built on the same site in 1880 at a cost of $4,500. It is 30 x 55 feet in size, and will seat 350. Among the early pastors of this church were Revs. J. M. Phillips, W. W. Thorp, J. S. Denning and W. A. Ward. Rev. T. S. Bailey was here four years, re- signing to accept the position of Synodical Missionary of the State. Rev. E. B. Linn came in April, 1883, and is the present

pastor. The elders of the church are: George Maze, II. C. Baird, A. J. Baird and J. E. : Griffith; Trustees, A. W. Patterson, N. F. Sturgis, Fred Hutchinson, R. D. Backus and D. G. Martin. The Sunday-school has about 100 pupils, in charge of N. F. Backus.

Methodist Episcopal Church .- The Meth- odist church was built in 1873 at a cost of $3,500. The pastors, with years of service, have been: Rev. Vail, 1874-'75; Rev. J. C. Echles, 1875-178; Rev. Chambers, 1878-179; Rev. A. J. Smith, 1879-'80; Rev. Samuel Jones, 1580-'83; Rev. E. M. Holmes, 1883- '85: Rev. James Lisle, 1885-'86; Rev. W. M. Welch. 1886-'87. The membership of the church is not far from fifty. The officers are: Trustees, II. W. Macomber, J. Thomp- son, William Oldham, J. Offenbach and F. M. Howard; Stewards, F. R. Peck, William Oldham, J. Offenbach, Mrs. Flora Hoff and Mrs. Ida Chappell; Recording Steward, F. M. Howard. The Sunday-school has an average attendance of sixty-five. F. M. Howard is superintendent.

St. Joseph's Catholic Church .- Twelve years ago there were thirty families belonging to the Catholic church in Carroll and vicinity. Father Pape came to this place in 1874, and built a frame church, 24x36, in the southwest part of town. He remained four years, and in 1876 built the present church. It is 64x40 feet in size, will scat 300, and cost 85,000. The membership rapidly grew, and at one time there were 300 families in attend- ance. The church was overcrowded, and so in 1885 was built a large brick church, as described below, for those desiring a German parish. The Germans comprised by far the greater number, so that, nearly all of them withdrawing, the number of families now belonging to St. Joseph's is but about fifty. Father Urbany was in charge from 1878 to 1884, and since the latter date Father P. J.

O'Connor has resided here. Under his min- istrations the church is prosperous and har- monious. The two-story building south of the church has a parochial school in the lower story, while the upper story forms a hall, which has various nses. In it are held debates, musical gatherings for practice of church and other music, and social meetings, while the Ladies' Sodality and Men's Sodality, each with some fifty members, meet here regularly. The school has had during the autumn (1886) fifty-six pupils, taught by the Franciscan Sisters of the Perpetual Adora- tion. These reside in a convent on the adjoining block south. Three of them are attached to St. Joseph's parish-one teaching the parochial school, one performing the duties of organist and also teaching music, and the third acting as sacristan. The con- vent is a three-story brick, and cost $6,000. The church, with the school to the south and the priests' residence on the north, occupy | half a block and are worth not less than $10,000. The parish also has a ten-acre cemetery nearly adjoining the city ceme- tery.

Church of Sts. Peter and Paul .- As above stated, the want became apparent for an exclusively German parish, and beginning in September, 1885, William Arts and others built a church and parsonage of brick, on a scale very creditable to the members of the parish. The church is on the block just south of that occupied by the convent, and cost $23,000. It is 125x56 feet, and has a spire 125 feet high. Its capacity is 1,000, but is taxed every Sunday. Services have been held since May 1, 1886, when Father Fendrich came to reside here. The church is not yet dedicated, because not yet out of debt, but the financial obligations are all in favor of the church's own members. It is proposed to build in 1887 a two-story school

building, at a cost of between $4,000 and 85,000. At present the parochial school is in two divisions, one meeting in the sacristy, and the other in a room at the convent. Connected with the chinrel are ladies' and men's societies, organized for benevolent pur- poses, and also the support of the church.

The Baptist Church was organized in 1878. with nine members. Rev. E. B. Porter was the first pastor, remaining but a few months, as also did his successor, Rev. Edwin Ilatfield. Rev. J. E. Sanders came next, and filled the pulpit for two years. Rev. T. S. Bovell was here an equal length of time. Rev. Brown-was then employed for a short time. Rev. J. S. Norvell was here for six months during 1886, and in December of the same year Rev. T. N. Hazen began his labors at Carroll. The membership of the church is now forty-five. Deacons, Alexander Dun- phy, J. J. Nichols and G. N. Dond; Trustees, J. J. Nichols, H. S. Fisher and Alexander Dunphy. H. S. Fisher is clerk, and also superintendent of the Sunday-school, the attendance at which is about fifty.

The Evangelical Association was organized in 1882, with about twenty-five members, the same number as at present, and soon after a church and parsonage were built, at an expenditure of $2,000. The first pastor, Rev. H. Hiebenthal, remained three years; the second, Rev. F. A. Fraser, one year. Rev. William Sehmalle is the present minister. F. Kasdorf is superintendent of the Sunday- school, which some twenty-five pupils regu- larly attend.

The German Lutheran Church has been organized four years, but has as yet no house of worship. The society now uses the south side school-house, where Rev. C. H. Fred. Hermann, of Arcadia, preaches twice a month. Rev. 1. II. Meinecke was the first pastor. The membership of the church is about fifty.

Charles Brown and Angust Boehme are the directors.

The Protestant Episcopal Church of Car- roll dates only from 1884, though a Sunday- school was formed as early as 1882. There were at first six members, and the number is now ten. In the summer of 1886 a church was completed, at the corner of Ninth and Adams streets, at a cost of $1,500. The bishop is to dedicate the edifice on the 9th of January, 1887. Rev. Peter Fox, the first reetor of the church, began his duties here in September, 1886.

TOWNS AND VILLAGES.

MANNING.

IIE lowa Southwestern க Railroad was laid across Warren Township in a southwesterly direction in 1880. When the following year the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail- road Company built its line to Omaha through the southern part of Carroll County, it was perceived that the intersection of the two roads was a favorable site for a new town. The land that was laid out as a town was selected by O. 11. Manning, then of Carroll, agent for the Western Town Lot Company, which was composed of the lead- ing officials of the St. Paul Railroad Com- pany. The latter named the place in honor of Mr. Manning. Abont 160 aeres on the south half of seetion 16, Warren Township, was laid out into lots. the first of which was sold July 28, 1881, to J. L. Weatherill, of Carroll. On this lot was erected the hard- ware store still conducted by Weatherill &

Morsch. the latter being Mr. Weatherill's son-in-law. The first building, however, was built in the south part of town, by Whealen Brothers, a month before this, and used as a grocery. This was afterward moved on the lot now used by the Bank of Manning, and subsequently burned. . I. L. McQuaid's gro- cery was the next store built. The first resi- dence was built by John Ferguson. From this on so many were building at once that no particular order can be assigned. All eame at once, as it were, and by the end of the first year there were not less than 800 people in the town, where but a short time before was a wild prairie. Since then the town has grown very slowly, but has held its own at all times as to population, while the business is on the increase as the surrounding country is developed. The State census of 1885 credits Manning with 954 inhabitants.

POSTOFFICE.

The postoffice was established November 1, 1881, and Seth Smith was appointed to conduet it. He held the position nearly four

Five hy- drants are distributed through the town, four on Main street, one near the reservoir, and 600 feet of hose is on a cart ready to attach to any one of the hydrants. The cost of the whole was $6,000. The volunteer fire com- pany has sixteen members, W. F. Carpenter being chief. At the fair in September, 1886, four teams competed for speed, and that of Manning was victorious.

PROFESSIONAL MEN.

The first law firm here was that of Doty, Hughes & Salinger, in 1881. The present attorneys are B. I. Salinger and A. T. Ben- nett. The first physicians were Dr. R. R. Williams and Dr. MeKinney, both of whom are here now, together with Drs. G. M. Bar- ber and Stein.
