later to the Pennsylvania Daily Telegraph. In 1860 it took its present title. At first it was a Whig organ, but later became an ex- ponent of true Republican doctrine. During the Civil war period The Telegraph was one of the strongest, most outspoken papers within the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and its editorials were copied far and near, and they were ever true to the Union cause, standing out boldly and defiantly as against other newspapers of the city, whose management from the first Lincoln campaign in 1860 until Lee's surrender in 1865, was anything but loyal. The present home of The Telegraph is near the postoffice building, and with their new spacious brick building, containing all that goes toward making a modern office, the degree of popularity which it enjoys, is a token of liberal patronage and good business management. It has the largest home circulation of any daily paper in southern Pennsylvania, and reaches more than one hundred towns in Dauphin and adjoining counties.
The Gospel Publisher, the organ of the Church of God, began publication in 1835, edited by the famous Rev. John Winebrenner. It was later known as the Church Advocate.
The Republican and Anti-Masonic Inquirer, commenced its publication in 1833, edited by Francis Wyeth (formerly of the Oracle ). It continued into its fourth volume. It had a good circula- tion at first. It is related that its associate editors were a "lot of young attorneys who had more brains ( ?) than business." They made a bright paper, but the narrowness of the plank it stood on soon caused ruin, as Masonry, that ancient order, had planted itself on this continent to remain !
Iron Grey, published by John H. Cox, in 1838, has files still extant.
The Plow Boy, by Mr. Rutter, appeared in 1838.
The Pennsylvania Bulletin, by Shunk & Weidler, was a short- lived publication of which there is no file.
Der Stats Bothe, by Edwin W. Hutter and Samuel S. Bigler, came out in 1839 ; partial files exist.
The Magician, by E. W. Hutter and J. J. Cantine, appeared in 1839.
The Log Cabin Rifle, by Henry Montgomery, a campaign paper, was issued in 1840, in favor of "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too."
The year 184I saw the establishing of The Yeoman, The Watchman and The Signal, all of brief life.
In 1843 came the Harrisburg Argus, by Valentine Best; The Commonwealth, by William Lewis; and The Penny Advocate, by Cherrick Westbrook. The last named was a small quarto published

on Wednesday and Saturday at $1.50 per annum. Advertising "A paper, was issued in 1840, in favor of "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." was "too cheap," and they quitted the field.
The Champion, a campaign paper of 1844, and one of great vigor, was published by Augustus Sprigman, in favor of Shunk against Muhlenberg.
The Whig Bugle, by Colin McCurdy, in favor of General Taylor for president, came out in 1848.
The Crystal Fountain, began in 1856, by John J. Clyde, was the organ of the great temperance movement in the State and it survived several years.
The American was founded by John J. Clyde in 1856, in con- nection with his daily, The Herald.
The State Capital Gazette commenced in July, 1839, con- tinuing until 1843.
The Democratic State Journal was started March 28, 1832, by George W. Crabb and O. Barrett, "office near the south end of court house." It had a brief, stormy voyage and consolidated with the Reporter.
The rise and progress, the generation and succession of the Pennsylvania Reporter, embraces so much that an endeavor to combine its history from 1827 to the present has been made. It was issued in a time of great political excitement, November, 1827, by Samuel C. Stambaugh, and in its history is the story of many other ventures. It has been continued by a crowd of able editors. The whole was merged in the Patriot, published by a company, and of necessity without a "fighting editor," as was always the case before 1856. About that period editors began to be impersonal. In the good old times courageous personality, not ability, often made a popular newspaper editor.
The Keystone was started in August, 1836, by William F. Packer, afterwards governor of the State, O. Barrett and Benjamin Parke. The senior member remained until February, 1840, when he disposed of his interest to Barrett & Parke, "the arduous duties appertaining to the office of canal commissioner" compelling him to relinquish it. Ovid F. Johnson edited this paper with great vigor. In April, 1841, James Peacock and Isaac G. Mckinley purchased the establishment.
The Home Journal and Citizen Soldier is the title of the paper printed by Isaac R. Diller in 1843. In August, 1845, the name was changed to The Pennsylvania Reporter and Home Jour- nal. It was published a short time. It caused quite a sensation by printing in its columns a local story founded on the Parthemore

murder, by that strange erratic genius, George Lippard. It was entitled, "Posy, or the Pilgrimage of St. George."
The Harrisburg Star, by William J. Sloan, about 1830, was not a very creditable sheet in its typography, as the editor was a mere lad, not much of a printer, but with so much ability in another direction that he came to be an able departmental surgeon in the United States army. One or two of its issues have been preserved, but no complete file, except perhaps among the effects of its "respon- sible editor."
The W'hig State Journal, issued in 1850, by John J. Clyde, was sold to John J. Patterson, who subsequently purchased the Telegraph, into which this paper was merged.
The Harrisburg Daily American was commenced December 26, 1850, by George Bergner & Co. Subsequently it became a part of the Harrisburg Telegraph. It was established as a Whig organ. In the course of time its opposition to the Know-Nothing organization was very decided. A file for several years is in the collection of the State Library.
The Daily Times, 1853, was a venture of William H. Egle and Theodore F. Scheffer, at the suggestion of a number of promi- nent citizens. The Morning Herald, by John J. Clyde & Co., was issued the same year. The borough not being able to support three daily papers, the Times was merged into the Herald. The latter paper was shortly after absorbed, or rather continued by the Daily Telegraph. It may be remarked that the Telegraph has absorbed almost as many newspaper ventures as its contem- porary, the Patriot, and its editors were of the picked men of their political party.
The Daily Borough Item, by George P. Crap & Louis Blanche, commenced in 1852, a small penny paper, not very prepossessing in appearance, but gave a good résumé of local events.
The Platform, in 1854, was a campaign paper of large circu- lation, by A. Boyd Hamilton, the organ of Governor Bigler. It was "cash in advance," and his list was fifteen thousand.
The Pennsylvania Statesman, of 1860, by J. M. Cooper, advocated the election of John C. Breckenridge for President. It was a lively sheet.
The State Guard, a daily published by Forney & Koffman, began in 1866, and continued several years.
The State Journal was commenced in October, 1870, and destroyed by fire in 1873.
Other papers which "flashed in the pan," as one of the editors remarked, were The Visitor, The Mercury, The Dawn, Scroll-

keeper, National Progress. Stars and Stripes came out in 1856 for Buchanan and Breckenridge, published by George F. Weaver & Co. Three sides were in English and one in German.
At Steelton The Token of Progress, a weekly newspaper, was established in April, 1875, by Frank McClure. It was at first a four-page sheet of four columns each, and thus continued until October, 1876, when Joseph A. Work became part proprietor. In May, 1877, the latter purchased the interests of the former publishers, subsequently associating with him his brother, James W. Work. The name of the paper was changed in May, 1878, to The Weekly Item, and enlarged to a twenty-column journal. Upon the incorporation of the borough of Steelton the title of the newspaper was changed to The Steelton Item, and the publication continued under its former management. Various changes have taken place in the press at this point, and to-day the newspapers are the Advocate and Verdict and the Reporter, two creditable journals. The Reporter was founded June 1, 1882, by its present proprietor, W. H. H. Sieg. It is published every Friday and enjoys a large circulation with an excellent advertising and job printing patronage, which includes much of the work for the great Pennsylvania Steel Company ..
The Middletown Argus was the first newspaper printed in the town, and was established in 1834 by a Mr. Wilson. It was an independent and family journal. Mr. Wilson did the editorial work, and his wife helped to set the type. The office was located on Main street, opposite S. L. Yetter's residence. It was dis- continued in 1835.
The Middletown Emporium was established in 1850, by William Henlock, formerly of Henlock & Bratton, State printers at Harrisburg. It was printed at the corner of Pine and Main streets, and after being published for a year and a half was discon- tinued.
The Central Engine was published in Middletown in 1851 and 1852, by H. S. Fisher, but the material was purchased, and the paper merged into the Swatara Gem, and later to the Middletown Journal.
The Middletown Press, an eight-column journal of four pages, was established July 16, 1881. by J. R. Hoffer as proprietor.
The Millersburg Herald was established by J. B. Seal, Janu- ary, 1875. It is independent in all things.
The pioneer paper of Lykens (borough) was the Farmers' and Miners' Journal, in 1856. It was run off on a Washington hand press. It was owned by a stock company who engaged Dr. J. B. Hower to edit and S. B. Coles to print it. After three months

Coles handled it alone a while. George Wolfe Buehler became pro- prietor and continued until October, 1861, when the office turned all of its four employes into the Union army, which caused a suspen- sion of the paper. These four printer volunteers were Henry Kei- ser, John C. Gratz, who died of army fever; John E. Roberts, aged fifteen, proved his bravery on three hard-fought fields and finally fell at New Market Cross-Roads, June 26, 1862. The other was Christopher C. Hynicka, who was held a prisoner of war more than a year and, too weak to get on board the transport boat, surrendered his life on the altar of his country.
Next came the Upper Dauphin Register, and Lykens Valley Mirror, a Republican paper, later the Lykens Register, printed by power press, established by Samuel Fenn in 1856.
The first number of the Lykens Record was issued July II, 1874, by Ettinger & Charles, who continued its publication until purchased by the Lykens Printing Association incorporated March 3, 1876. The stock of this corporation was held by forty-five citi- zens, principally business men of the Upper End. It survived three years.
The Star-Independent, one of Pennsylvania's great daily papers. was founded in December, 1876, and has of recent years been greatly enlarged and improved. It has superior and modern telegraphic news service, and is occupying a front rank in the list of up-to-date journals. No plant is better equipped between the cities of Phila- delphia and Pittsburg. The editorial staff, presided over by Hon. B. F. Meyers, the owner, is complete in all departments. Mr. Meyers purchased the property in 1891, and consolidated The Star and The Independent. He is eminent in both editorial and political fields. Offices are maintained in New York and Chicago. The sworn daily circulation in April, 1905, was 11, 807 copies. Its business quarters are within the largest newspaper office-built and exclusively occupied by its owner-outside the two greater cities in Pennsylvania. Seventy thousand dollars worth of machinery, in- cluding an 80-horse-power engine, are used. One hundred and ten persons are employed, and papers are delivered to the depot and trolley stations by automobile.

THE BAR.
In reviewing the representatives of the legal profession of this county, it should be borne in mind that the prosperity and well- being of any community depends upon the clear, well-defined and wise interpretation of the law. Hence it follows that a record of the attorneys of Dauphin county possesses particular value in this work, which takes the wild, undeveloped domain along the Sus- quehanna river, at its organization as a county, and brings it down to to-day, when it is acknowledged to be one of the best governed and most prosperous and happy regions of all the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Again, change is seen on every hand in the great human tide. The laws of yesterday do not fully meet the requirements of to-day, for it should be remembered that former relations do not now obtain. New and satisfactory laws must needs be enacted, and then enforced and established to the full understanding of the masses, who otherwise might ignorantly violate them. The dis- coveries in the arts and sciences, the invention of novel contrivances for labor-saving, the enlargement of all our industrial pursuits, and the increase and development of commerce and, without prece- dents, the science of law must keep pace with them all; nay, it must even forecast the event and frame such laws as will most adequately subserve the wants of these new conditions. Hence, we say the lawyer is a man purely of to-day. The exigencies he must encounter are peculiar and alone to the age in which he lives. His capital is his ability and pure individuality. The lawyer should love and prize his profession. He should value its past renown and cherish the memory of great men whose gigantic shadows walk with us still.

HISTORY OF DAUPHIN COUNTY
The bar of Dauphin county has enrolled among its num- bers many who have been not only an honor to their profession at home, but also have gained national distinction. It may be true that we have come to enact too many laws, but so long as these enactments do exist, we have great need of learned, thinking, read- ing, hard-toiling lawyers to construe these laws to our common people, who have duties calling them in another direction-a work to perform in another sphere.
The subjoined list of attorneys admitted to the Dauphin county bar is more complete than any hitherto published, but doubt- less there are some omissions, from the incompleteness of the rec- ords now in existence, notwithstanding the great care which has been taken to revise and correct the list to date, as far as possible. The year given is that of admission to the bar:
