[?• OIC 3IK=DIIC 3IOI I Lawrence: Today ^ Yesterday PUBLISHED BY THE LAWRENCE DAILY JOURNAL-WORLD AS A MAGAZINE AND SOUVENIR EDITION, COMMEMORATING THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL OF THE LAWRENCE MASSACRE •S] K^^ 1 « MBITION has always prompted the sturdy pioneers to do and to win. Backed by indomitable energy, supported by physical and moral stamina, generally surrounded by the influence of noble womanhood, men of individuality have usually found a way to open up new territorj'. Individual- ity of character, individuality of physical power, individual- ity of courage and determination, these are the birthmarks tliat were imprinted upon the men and the women who in- vaded as the pioneers a country new, a country without resource other than the possibilities of agriculture and the hunting domains of the Kansas plains — the County of Douglas, as it is now known. -To these men and to these women and to those who shortly after helped to preserve the integrity of their newly acquired homesteads during the strenuous years of the late fifties and the early sixties "Lawrence — Today and Yesterday" is respectfully and appreciatively dedicated. To thank each and every citizen who has helped to make possible this edition, in which appears as complete and replete a resume of "men and affairs" of Lawrence and Douglas County, as was ever published, this appreciation is also courteously extended. To Colonel John K. Rankin, Chairman, and to the members of the Semi-Centennial Memorial Committee; to Chancellor Frank Strong of the University of Kansas; to Professor ]\Ierle Thorpe, Head of the Journalism Department of the University of Kansas ; to Professor L. N. Flint ; to the Graduate Magazine ; to the Deans and mem- bers of the faculty; to H. B. Peairs, Supervisor of Indian Schools, and to Superin- tendent J. R. Wise of Haskell Institute, thanks are due for their hearty co-operation in enabling the publishers to do justice to these institutions. To the business and pro- fessional men and women of Lawrence and to those citizens of Douglas County who have proven their public spirit by their co-operation to make possible an edition, that will do justice to the representative interests and place Lawrence and Douglas Count}' in a class with communities of marked enterprise, appreciation is hereby expressed. To Alfred Lawrence for his splendid view, group and commercial photographs ; to F. H. JefTryes and to Con F. Squires, for their prompt service in the production of portraits and to the Capper Engraving Company of Kansas City, Missouri, for their splendid co-operation in the production of art pages and fine halftone engravings for this edition, thanks are due. In closing it may be advisable to state that the publishers feel confident that the spirit of progress and ambition which has enlisted the co-opera- tion of the enterijrising citizens of Lawrence and Douglas County in the production of this magazine number of the Journal-World is destined not only to live in the "Law- rence — Today and Yesterday," but forever. Through the individuality of men, who — as of old — are willing to do things for the good of the whole community has been made possible "Lawrence — Today and Yesterday," an edition bearing the quality marks of Individuality, stamping indelibly upon the minds of the readers the fact that the younger generation, composing the future- citizenship, will emulate the pioneers in aggressiveness, zeal and forward movements, marked by strong Individuality.

THE BRIDGE THAT OPENS A NEW ERA OF | I PROGRESS TO THE CITIZENS WHO KNOW | I THE LAWRENCE OF TODAY AND YESTERDAY \ I By Hon. S TIME was when our forefathers traveled and lived successfully through every handicap that beset them without meeting requirements for the fu- ture. It was thus that arms were on hand, yet not available at the time of Quantrell's invasion of Lawrence. But the destiny of the city of Lawrence, founded in 1854 through the foresight of pioneers who came to what is now known as Douglas County as emissaries of the New England Emigrant Aid Society, was not for ex- tinction by border raiders in 1863. For from the ashes of the city was to rise a greater Lawrence than had been contem- plated even by these sturdy pioneers and others who lived through the terror of the days of 'f^. On Tuesday, August i, the real found- ers' party arrived at the site of the present city of Lawrence at noon, and ate their tirst meal on the ridge, or "back bone" of the high hill, upon wliich now stands the University of Kansas. Ferdinand Fuller, of Worces- ter, Massachusetts, inscribed on his tent on that memorable day the name "Mount Oread," in memory of Mount Oread Seminary in his home town. .And the name has since not only become his- toric, but sj'nonymous with Kansas' foremost institution of learning. On the eighteenth day of the same month a constitution was adopted, providing for the usual form of city government, the registration of claims, and the con- ditions upon which persons could be- come members of the Lawrence associa- tion. On the sixth of October the town which had been called Wakarusa, New Boston and Yankee Town, was regula^-ly christened "Lawrence City," as stated at that meeting according to other historians, "first to honor .\mos A. Lawrence, of Boston, both as an individual and of- I'lcer of the company, and second, because the name sounded well, and had no bad odor attached to it in any part of the Union." It might be well to remark here that the city has lived up to that reputation ever since in every walk of life. Strangely co-incident with the first religious service held in the new colony came also the first death and burial of a young man, Moses Pomeroy, a member of the early settlers' party. On this same Sabbath day, October t, the first Bible Class was formed. On the fifteenth day of the same n-onth a meeting was held to form the First Congregational Church in Kansas Territory, the first church becoming known as the "Plymouth Church of Lawrence City." The trustees of the first religious society or parish were Dr. Charles Robinson. S. C. Pomeroy and S. J. Willis. Slowly, but surely came the first signs of development with the opening of a sawmill about the first of December. This mill was leased to S. & F. Kimball in January, 1855, with the proviso that it should devote part of it-s running HON. S. D. BISHOP D. Bishop time to cutting lumber for a proposed new hotel, all previous facilities having been practically in log or shake houses. On the ninth day of October Charles Robinson, John Mailey, S. Y. Lum, A. D. Searle and O. A. Hanscom were elected trustees of the Lawrence Association, and on the seventeenth city lots were drawn, the owners commencing building opera- tions at once with the facilities at hand. On the nineteenth Governor Reeder and party, on their way to Fort Riley, stop- ped in this city and were properly honored. In the absence of Mayor Robinson the duties incident to this occasion fell upon General Pomeroy. Little did Mrs. S. N. Wood, who at this time responded to the toast, "The ladies of Lawrence, the land of beauty, the fit home of beauty,'' probably realize that Lawrence would ever become so truly "a city beautiful," as can be seen in the illus- trations in this "Lawrence — Today and Yesterday" magazine. Nor did she pro- bably dream that unusual realization would come to her closing words, "Wo- man's sphere is here to guard our beau- tiful state from the invasion of wrDug, oppression, intemperance and all that tends to debase and demoralize mim- kind. Yes, Kansas must and will feel that woman has an influence, and that influence on the side of God and truth." Prophetic words these and true now in every sense of the word. The newspapers, as usual, had their proper place and performed their duties fearlessly. John and J. L. Speer were the pioneers in the field, publishing their first issue of the "Kansas Pioneer" un- der dift'iculties in Medina, Ohio, under date of October 15. 1854. "The Herald of Freedom" was the first Kansas paper and the first printed in Lawrence, although the "Tribune" antedated it. A. L. Selig's business oflfice is located on the site of the former home of "The Herald of Freedom." Ever since that date the focal press has stood for all that is for the best interests of the city and county. The first birth in the new colony was reported to ilie Milwaukee Sentinel under date of November 11, when T. .\ Ladd wrote that the first "little visitor," Lawrence Carter, born on October 26, 1854, will probably be officially donated one city lot. Records show that this was done and the lot later appeared to be in the center of the city. At the first murder trial of one Lucious Kibbey. held later in the year, acquittal resulted, H. A. Hutchinson and J. T. Brady acting for the prosecution, counsel for the defense being S. N. Wood. H. C. Saff'ord, C. Albright and Mr. Haldeman. .■\ Free State Society was organized on February i. 1S55. to "use all its influence for tlie prohibition of slavery." To this organization perhaps must be attributed the resultant in- tegrity of Lawrence as an abolition center and the subsequent disasters that befell the city.

The first observance of the "Fourth of July" was appropriately held in 1855. Then followed the days of pillage in 1856, when on May 21 property, valued at nearly $100,000, was destroyed, including the Free State Hotel, later the site of the Eldridge House. S. & T. Eldridge alone lost about $40,000 in hotel furniture and provisions. Tn the summer of 1857 prosperity again came to Law- rence and continued more or less regularly to the time of Quantrell's invasion. In i860 about 2,500 inhabitants were accredited to the city. In July 1857 tlie Eldridge House was commenced on the site of the old Free State Hotel. With the fateful day of August 21, 1863, so graphically depicted on the cover design of this magazine supplement of the Journal- World, as reproduced from Harper's Weekly of that year, commences my real story of a "newer Lawrence." The facts about this historic disaster will be found elsewhere in this is- sue, as told by those who either witnessed the invasion or have their facts from good authority. From this eventful day in 1863, beginning with A. Fuller as mayor, dates a new history of progress. Among those who headed the city government in the years to come after that period and still among the living, although in every 3;nse pioneers, are recorded : G. Grovenor, J. D. Bowersock, A. Henley, and A. L. Selig. The first mayor was James Blood, who held office from 1857 to 1859. He was followed by C. W. Babcock, to whom falls the honor of the first efforts cal- culated to bind in close union what was later known as North Lawrence with the city, by means of the first bridge across the Kaw River. Thus history was made almost sub-consci- ously. The first settlement of North Lawrence occurred be- tween i860 and 1865. By an act of the State Legislature in 1870 it was consolidated with Lawrence proper and its cliarter surrendered. In the sixties the first large in- dustries and banking institu- tions became factors, in ad- dition to the State Univer- sity, while in the seventies the real industrial growth became apparent. Colonel Eldridge began the erection of a new hotel in 1865. The city has always been most fortunate in the posse.?sion of men who went ahead in the face of discouragement. The Lawrence of Today needs little mention from the Masonic Temple, Massachusetts and Berkeley'Strects writer, as this entire edition speaks pictorially louder in its be- half than could mere words. Be it sufficient to state that it has no superior in this state as a city of homes, residences that are actually occupied by men and women who draw tlieir incomes from the various interests that help to make tliis city one united whole. It is necessary to add that the city of Lawrence, while fully appreciative of the great influ- ence upon its prosperity by the University of Kansas, the Haskell Institute and other educational institutions, today is not solely dependent on them for that which means progress of a permanent nature. The industries of the city are varied and the men at the helm are of the class who believe in her future. The city is in fact a wholesome combination of in- dustrial progressiveness and educational influence. As I'recall the recent election that gave to Douglas Coun- ty a new bridge across the Kaw River, I see in my mind's eye the men and the women who realized that the present iron bridge has outlived its usefulness, begun in the days when toll was exacted for the crossing of it. Lethargy which had threatened to thwart the progress of the foremost county in the state was thrust aside and the means were provided to erect a structure that shall not only reflect credit upon the citizens who voted for it, but shall become the means of a new union between the people of North Lawrence and Grant Township and those on the other side. It will mean the opening of a new era of prosperity for all of Douglas Coun- ty, whose citizens have since that memorable election cast aside all jealousies in the hope and assurance of greatly in- creased railroad facilities that shall upbuild in the wake of electric traffic ways not only a "Greater Lawrence," but also a more prosperous Douglas County." It will in truth be a "Golden Bridge of Prosperity for a united Douglas Coun- ty," ever harmonius with its county seat, the City of Law- rence, for the good of all. Lawrence and Dougl.is County Iiave overcome the enemy of war-time, of fire and of flood and the citizen; have built for a future that looms up brighter than ever before. The name of Amos A. Lawrence is inscribed in history's pages with ink of gold that will never tarnish, just as the prosperity of the city and county will continue forever on a solid basis i THE LAWRENCE POST OFFICE SHOWS REMARKABLE GROWTH SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 185 5 By Charles S. Finch, Postmaster I ..4. CARMI W. BABCOCK, whose widow and daughter live here now, was the first postmaster of Lawrence. The post office when estabhshed was placed in the store of Paul R. Brooks, on the west side of Massachusetts street, just about where Jones & Mercer's store now stands. Mr. Babcock served two years from i8ss to 1857, and was succeeded by James Garvin. The tenure of office of the post- masters in those days seems to have been a little unsatisfactory — to the incumbent at least — for the first four of them served only two years each. In addition to the two named, the two following them were Sani- I'.cl K. Huson and Josiah Miller, Mr. Mill- er holding office until 1863, when John H. Shimmons, an ardent admirer of James H. Lane and one of his principal backers i:i Kansas, took charge of the office and held it for four years, relinquishing it to Col. John K. Rankin in 1867. Colonel Rankin served for four years, and again ]\Ir, Shimmons was given tlie office, holding it for two years, and giving way to L. J. Worden in 1873. Mr. Wordcn was the long distance postmaster, and held the office for three terms, twelve years, continuously, and only gave up with a change of administration and a change of parties. In 1885, Osbun Shan- non, son of Governor Shannon, was made postmaster by President Cleveland, and held the office until 1889. President Harrison then appointed Cap- tain E. F. Goodrich, and he was succeeded by George Innes when Cleveland was elected the second time. Mr. Innes took charge of the office in 1894, aiicl 'leld it until 1898, when he was succeeded by K. F. Caldwell. Judge George J. Barker followed him, and held the office one term, and was succeeded by Irving Hill wlui was in office for a little more than four years, and gave place to the present postmaster, who took charge of the office on the first of September, 191 1. Since the postoffice was founded, but two men have held the office more than one term, — John Shimmons who was twice ap- pointed and held the office for six years, and L. J. Worden who kept it for three terms. From the seventies until the new Federal building was erected, the postoffice was located in the building at the cor- ner of Massachusetts and Winthrop streets, known in early years as "Liberty Hall," and afterward as The Bowersock Opera house. The office was moved into the new building Ch-^rles S. Finch in i(X36, and, as if to .show appreciation for the gift of the government, the busi- ness increased so rapidly that the office became a first class one in 1907- To be a first class office, one must have an in- come from all sources of at least $40,000 a year. In 1906 the income was $40,945.20. The wonderful growth of the office, caused by the rapid business development of the town, is shown by the following figures giving the gross receipts of the office since the year mentioned, when the office reached the dignity of first class: 1907 $44,238.82 1908 $49,570.72 1909 $52,391-35 1910 $55,ii".98 igii $59,990.46 1912 $64,613-58 The first nine mouths of the present year the office did more business than it did during the whole of the year 1908, and if the usual fall and winter business is done, the receipts of the office for 1913 will reach $70,000.00. The Lawrence postoffice does more business than any other office in the state, except Kansas City, Toi)eka and Wichita. To do all the work necessary keeps a good sized company of men busy all the time, or for as many hours a day as the Government permits its employees to work.

In fact, it i.'", so crowded low that much of the transfer and handling of mail has to be done under difficulties, and one half more floor space could be utilized to great advantage. Of course it is the parcel post mail that takes up much of the available room that was originally in- tended for other kindb of matter, but neither the Government at Washington, nor any one in Lawrence, had the slightest idea that the business of the office would, in less than eight years, be double what it was when the building was erected. And yet, that is exactly what will happen, and the .lecessary facilities for doing the increased business must be in- creased in proportion. A building double the size of the present one will be absolutely essential within the ne.xt ten years, an estimate made on a conservative basis. At the present time the number of parcel post packages setit out from the office average more than six hundred per day, and this number is steadily and rapidly increasing, while the incoming parcel post mail averages fully as much as to weight and bulk. This is entirely new work, and has grown to tlie present proportions in nine months after the installa- MONEV ORUKR DEPART.VIENT tion of the parcel post system. This class of mail will un- doubtedly double in number of pieces and bulk within the next six months, and will require space that was not contemplated when the building was erected. As the same condition exists in all postoflices, to a greater or less degree, congress will un- doubtedly make provisions at the next session for taking care of the vast increase of mail, caused by this department of the service. It is the belief of the writer that the prosperity of the city of Lawrence and the county of Douglas shows great- er evidence of com- inercial progress than is apparent to the average citizen. While there can be no doubt that the University of Kansas adds to the importance of the Lawrence post office, an investigation of mail matter, sent out by the industrial in- terests, stockmen and others would furnish proof for the state- ment that the busi- ness interests far out- class the University as a factor in matters relating to Uncle Sam's local business. During the student year, however, the incoming and out- going mail is considerably increased and requires proportion- ate attention. Haskell Institute, also, is a factor to be reck- oned with. But the manufacturing and wholesale interests, together with the stockmen and newspapers, vie with each other in plaring this city fourth in the state, as far as post olTice business is concerned. —6- HE OBJECT AND SCOPE OF WORK OF THE LAWRENCE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION BY CHARLES STARKWEATHER, President of THE ASSOCIATION THE power of organization has made itself felt iu every community, where enterprise was the moving factor among the business interests of the city or town. That Lawrence business men were not asleep at the switch was made evident, when The Merchants Association of Lawrence, Kansas, was formed in the summer of 1909. The first officers were : Olin Bell, President: R. B. Wagstaff, Vice-President: R. C. Man- ley, Secretary and W. F. March, Treasurer. The object of the As- sociation, as given in the first Consti- tution and By - Laws, was to eli- minate all forms o f graft and doubt fi,il subscriptio n lists; to ob- tain and to supply de- sired iijformation for persons or firms who may contemplate locating or making investments in Lawrence; to encourage and aid as far as possible the further development of exist- ing business interests, as well as the establishment of new indu.stries ; to f acili- CHAS.

The Merchants Association's Rest Room in the City Hall continues to be a popular place with out of town shoppers. The Association has become interested in Good Roads work. The rebate system, applying to railroad fares of out of town purchasers, has been inaugurated. The Douglas County Fair received the hearty co-opera- tion and support of The Merchants Association of Lawrence. As stated before, the power of organization has become rec- organized even in Lawrence, where just a little over four years ago the new M ere bants Associatio n became a factor and has remain- ed a force of growing in- fluence ever since.

Alford THE founders of Lawrence planned from the very beginning, for an institution of higher education. In fact, when they met together to decide on a name for the town, my father has told me, the names of New Boston and Fremont, so strongly favored by some, were set aside, at the suggestion of Dr. Rob- inson that .Amos A. Lawrence would give a generous sum to- FIRST FACULTY:- Right, Prof. E. -Upper. Dr. J. Rice. F. H. Snow; Lower Left. Prof. D. H. Robinson; Lower I ward founding a college, if the town was named for hiri. This promise Mr. Lawrence fulfilled by making arrange- ments for a gift of ten thousand dollars for the building of a "Free State College,'' to perpetuate the memory of those who so bravely struggled to prevent Kansas from becoming a slave state. The town company of Lawrence donated the grounds on which North College stands (now used as the School of Fine Arts), provided such a college should be built. The Presbyterians laid the foundations of a building in 1859, hoping to utilize the gift of Mr. Lawrence. Their finances, how- ever, were not sufficient for the undertaking, and the ground, with its unused foundations, reverted to the city. Afterwards the Bap- tists, then Congregationalists, and last of all the Episcopalians at- tempted to raise the money for a college building, but without success. Still later the possibility of a State University — a new idea at tliat time — began to take shape. After a close contest, the legisla- ture located such a University at Lawrence in April of 1863. There was, however, the condition at- tached that the city should fur- nish the grounds and fifteen thousand dollars in money. In order to bring the Amos A. Law- rence fund up to this amount, the business men of tlie town gave their personal notes for the necessary sum. After the raid of August 1863, Governor Carney, in a special message to the legislature, asked that these men should be released from the obligations which they had assumed. Still further, when this request was promptly grant- ed, the governor interested him- self in getting the University per- manently located in Lawrence. The legislature passed such an act in November, following the raid. The next year it passed anoth- er bill, organizing the University, but it was not until September of 1866 that North College was com- pleted and the school opened for students. None of the $20,000 invested in the building, was fur- nished by the state. Its site was donated by the citj-, and to the Amos A. Lawrence fund had been added, witli the consent of the donors, various sums of money that had been sent as loans, to help re-establish in busi- ness the men whose goods and stores had been destroyed by Quantrell's men. It was stipulated, however, by the city council, tliat, in recognition of this fund, all orphans, made so by the raid or by the Civil War, should be educated, free of charge, by the Universitj'. It was a very small beginning that was made in North College on this beautiful Sep- tember day in 1866. About forty students were enrolled at that time, and not one of them in the collegiate department. Some of them had been called from their books, more than once, by the alarm of a hostile in- vasion. This small beginning seem- ed to them, and to pioneer men and women who had hoped for, and worked for, the founding of this in- stitution, a day bright with promise. The attentive, intelligent faces of these pioneer founders of Lawrence were often seen in the class-rooms and chapel of North College. To the three men however, who composed the Faculty on that first morning, coming as they did from long established schools in the East, it must have taken the eye of Faith, to see in this small handful of pre- paratory students — (there were no high schools organized at that time~i — the beginning of a great Univer- sity. Of the three faculty members, Elial J. Rice, who occupied the chair of Mental and Moral Philosophy, was the acting president. He was a kindly, courteous. Christian gentle- man in all his dealings with the stu- dents, but after one year resigned his position to become president of Baker University, a much larger school at Baldwin, Kansas. The other two faculty members remained with the University, from that first opening day, as long as life lasted. David H. Robinson, scholar- ly and dignified, (but with a delight- ful sense of humor) was professor of Latin and Greek. Frank H. Snow, young enthusiastic and com- panionable, was professor of all the Sciences and also of Mathematics. We honor the men, who have, for a few years, given distinguished ser- vice to the University en route to larger institutions. Yet h.iw much more must we cherish the memory of these men, who, turning away from the attractions of older schools, labored loyally through those difficult and discouraging early years, helping to lay, broad and strong, the foundations of Kansas University ! If Lawrence should ever have a historical pageant, it would be easy to arrange a scene, representing the founding of the University. There would be, perhaps, the figure of the pioneer, his plow behind him in the furrow, shading his anxi- ous eyes with his hand, as he looks towards the brightness of the morning, which promises a day of opportunity for his children. Then the benevolent figure of the eastern philan- thropist, holding out a generous hand, filled with gold. The third figure might be a mother weeping over her child, made fatherless by the cruelties of the Civil War.

But to make the scene complete there should be, somewhere in the background, the dim figures of Dr. Snow and Professor Robinson, busy with mortar and stone, building foundations for Kansas University. The years have passed and the hazardous cradle-days of the University of Kansas are remcndiered but by a few. In their stead we find a sturdy younger generation again shading their eyes to fathom the possibilities for our great institution. The MANTLE 0/ DISTINCTION LEAVES WILDER S. METCALF STILL A MAN )LTHOUGH a native of Maine, and later, for thirty years a resi- dent of Elyria, Ohio, Col. Wilder S. Met- calf has become thor- oughly recognized as a Kansas man, since he came to Lawrence in 1887. Leaving a business in Ohio, Mr. Metcalf engaged in the farm mortgage business in the Sunflower State, building successfully, until now he stands among the foremost investment men of the state. True to his career in the Buckeye state, where in the National Guard he rose to an offi- cer's position, he became identified with the Kansas National Guard immediately after his arrival here in 1887. Mr. Metcalf went with the Twentieth Kansas Regiment to the Philippines, ranking as major on his departure and returning as colonel, being wounded twice. On his return to the United States he was brevetted Brigadier-General of Volunteers by the late President McKinley. He is now Colonel of the First Kansas Regiment. His military distinction is acknowledged by his appoint- ment to the National Militia Board through the Secretary of War. Colonel Metcalf served as United States Pen- COL. WILDER S. METCALF Board in turn has honored him with election to the presidency. Following the recent reorganization after election he was again elected president. He has been a trustee of the Congregational Church for a number of years and has always been active in the promotion of all that is good for a community. Colonel Metcalf took the A. B. degree at Oberlin College in 1878, and the degree of L. L. B. in this city at the University of Kansas School of Law in 1897. He is a member of the Military Order of Foreign Wars, Army of the Philippines, United Spanish War Veterans, Military Order of Carabao, Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Delta Phi fraternities; the Army and Navy Club in Washington, Kansas City Cuib, University Club of Kansas City, and the Topeka (Kansas) Club. Yet he is a man of the people for the people, having earned the confidence that has been bestowed on him by his friends and by his clients here and in the east. Investments made through his office have done much to- ward bringing Kansas and Oklahoma farms up to a high standard. A remarkable incident in Colonel Metcalf s busi- ness is that of his location. Beginning over twenty- PRIVATE OFFICE OF COL. VV. S.

During his ten- ure of office he paid out over $150,000,000. That state and national honors are not misplaced, is evidenced by his election to the Board of Education in 1900, after his return from the seat of war. Lawrence citizens have since honored him with re-election to a toil- some duty, ably performed by Colonel Metcalf. The GENERAL OFFICE OF COL. VV. S.

Colonel Metcalf was away from his earlier lo- cation only long enough to let the new building arise to afford him more commodious quarters. He could safely say: "Still in the same location." But the Colonel has this advantage. He is not in the same rut. Just as modern as his new offices on the main floor of the new Perkins building are, just so progressive is Col Wilder S. Metcalf in his business methods. —10- I ! -^ LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF A GREAT UNIVERSITY By Merle Thorpe Head of the Journalis))t Departmefit Kansas Universi/v NINE out of ten tourists who visit Washing- ton, D. C, make a bee line for the Monu- ment and the White House, yet there are hundreds of old residents of the Capitol City who have never been inside the White House nor up the Monument. One hundred thousand persons stop off at Salt Lake City each year to visit the Mormon Tabernacle and hear the wonderful pipe-organ. Last summer a barber in Salt Lake City told a customer that although he had been there fourteen years, he had never visited the tabernacle. A group of men sat in the Palace Hotel lobby in San Francisco two years ago this month. The conversation wandered around to state universities and one of them, a Californian, made this remark: "The best university in the Middle West, is Kansas University. With the exception of Wis- consin, Kansas is away ahead of all other state in- stitutions in its direct service work to the citizens at large." In Portland, Maine, last summer, Mr. Cor- son of Springfield, Massachusetts, told a Kansan that his state had followed Kansas ideas in edu- cation in several particulars. And he named them. He added that he would like to spend a week visiting K. U. So it goes. The snow-capped mountain in our back yard doesn't appear very big or magni- ficent until we get a thousand miles away. One of the first reporters, St. Matthew, must have had this generation in mind when he recorded, "A prophet hath no honor in his own country." Not that the citizens of Lawrence and Kansas do not appreciate their University, but that living in its shadow tends to make it or any in- stitution appear commonplace and insignificant. Not only have many Douglas County people put of? visiting "their White House and Monument," but they are ignorant of the many-sided features of work going on at their very door. Located on the banks of the sluggish Kaw fifty years ago, the University of Kansas has had a slow but sure growth, until today it is listed in the first rank of acr. credited state universities and its enrollment places it thirteenth. While Chancellor Strong insists that its most im- portant work is the training of thousands of the State's young men and women to be efficient and public spirited citizens, yet the University is best known throughout the country for its state service activities. How many residents of Douglas county realize : 1. That fifty thousand citizens from every county of the state received direct aid from the University of Kansas last rear through its lecturers, its package libraries, its municipal reference bureau, its club program service and lantern slide series? 2. That the University through the Chancellor has control over every quart measure, every foot rule, and ev- ery set of scales in the State? Under the University's Merle Thorpe —11— direction weights and measures are tested and the public is protected from unscrupulous dealers. 3. That in the Chemistry building men are work- ing daily, analyzing foods from various parts of the State ? 4. That across the hall from the food laboratory another set of men are testing the drugs that will be sold to citizens of the State. 5. That on the floor above water from one hundred and fifty Kansas cities and towns is tested out month by month in order that the people may be warned of possible epidemics? 6. That over in the Geolog)' building men are at work testing the clay from various counties to learn if Kansas does not produce the valuable pottery material of Eastern Ohio? 7. That men from Snow Hall inspected during the past year 332,000 fruit trees, 81,000 of which were sprayed to save the orchards? 8. That there is a K. U. orchard South of town whose yield was increased 600% by scienti- fic methods? 9. That 151 1 Kansas citizens received free medical aid and advice from the University Hos- pital during 191 2? 10. That the University sanitary engineers visited 1 1 1 cities and towns last year, giving valuable assistance ? Or how many readers of the Journal- World know that: 1. Seventeen thousand families have been repre- sented in the student body since the founding of the Uni- versity? 2. That of the eighteen University buildings valued at two million dollars, five were erected by private gifts? 3. That the State Service work so eagerly sought after by Universities east and west was first begun by the University of Kansas in 1866? 4. That the tuberculosis exhibit sent out by the University through the State is credited by Dr. Crumbine with lowering the percentage of this disease by 30% ? 5. That the Museum has the largest natural his- tory panorama in the world and has a commercial valua- tion of $320,586, nearly all of which was collected by faculty and students? Yet in spite of the tremendous amount of work done, other than teaching, by the University of Kansas, the taxpayers are spending one third less on higher educa- tion than other states. The average cost per student in one hundred like institutions in 191 1 and 191 2 was re- ported by the Carnegie foundation to be $225 ; the cost for each student at the University of Kansas for 191 1 and 1912 was $157. In sixteen universities of the rank of Kansas, the average cost per student for 1909 and 1910 was $232. Wisconsin allows its University $311 per student, Kansas $157; Illinois $194 per student, Kansas $157 ; Missouri $200 per student, Kansas $157. It is to be pointed out however, that such a low cost is not a thing to be proud of. The forty or fifty dollars a student or $125,000 in all, thus saved the State must be taken from equipment and salaries of faculty. This means that each teacher must handle more students, thus neces- sarily lowering the quality of the instruction. A mill tax would be a Godsend to the University of Kansas. It would insure a more healthy growth because, as any business man knows, normal growth is possible only when plans can be made extending over a number of years. Again, Kansas loses good men every year. It is im- possible to estimate the economical loss in disorganizing a department by a change of head. Other institutions draw K. U. men away because those Institutions offer greater certainty in the matter of income. A mill tax in Kansas would remedy this. A mill tax would do away with the demoralization e\'- ery two years due to the meeting of the legislature and the upheaval occasioned by thoughtless attacks made on higher education. A mill tax would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage of permanent incomes by fixed tax: Illinois, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, California, Colorado and Indiana. And not the least advantage — a mill tax would re- move all temptations from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. The University of Kansas is a great educational in- stitution. It could be made a greater force in the life of the state if certain handicaps were removed. It it were given a permanent income so that it would not have to live in constant fear of losing its men or of having the work of years curtailed or clipped off by lack of funds, confidence would take the place of worry and unsatisfac- tion and K. U. would be able to do better work and be better known and pay bigger dividends to the State than at present. Let's give K. U. and the other Kansas educational institutions a mill tax in 1915!

Walker I I WITH the development of the business and man- ufacturing industries of the country Kansas, like every other state, has created an institu- tion in which the- men are being trained who are to direct and lead in its large enterprises. Engineering has been defined as "The art of applying the forces of nature in ways that are effective and economical in expenditure of time and money," and it is significant that for the training of men for such a profession the School on the Hill has been laid out with the single purpose of giving the best instruction, with the most economical handling of funds consistent with efficient service. The results are seen as graduates enter the various lines of work for which they have been prepared, with the unvarying report of good progress coming from tlieir employers, and evidenced more strongly still by the great masterpieces of engineering con- struction like the Detroit River Tunnel and the Key West Viaduct, which were conceived and executed by K. U. men. The School of Engineering is in the thirtieth year of it^ existence, if we count time from the year when the full four-year course of study was first offered. Instruction in Engineering had been given for about ten years previous to that time, and the thirty years have been years of progress built on a substantial foundation. In 1884 the faculty of the School of Engineering consisted of one man, Frank O. Marvin, and the students numbered 16, all in Civil Engineer- ing. At the present time the teaching stafif along strictly Engineering lines numbers 28, with many others who give instruction in the languages and sciences, and the number of students during the current year is about 400. Every year 60 or 70 men are graduated and merge themselves into the business world, many of whom are found to be within the state of Kansas, which, with its growing industries, is de- manding larger and larger numbers of technically trained men each year. As numbers of faculty and students have increased, so has a multiplication of courses of study occurred, so that now the boy who is looking toward a career in the industrial world may choose among six lines of study which are so laid out as to cover practically the entire range of business science. He may decide to make railroading or the tele- phone service, mining or machine construction, sanitary science or electric power application, chemical technology or highway construction, plant management or architectural de- sign the object of his endeavors; but in whatever line of professional industry he may choose to cast his lot, he may secure an adequate preparation by choosing the one out of the six distinct courses of study being offered which lies closest to his needs. On the teaching itaff are men trained in almost every large University in the country east of the Rocky Mountains, and men who have acquired a personal knowledge of the work of their profession by years of ex- perience in field and designing room and shop. From the very beginning the grade of work has been kept to the high est standard for undergraduate courses, with full entrance requirements as recognized by the Association of American Universities. The present quarters of the School, and much of its equip- ment, came through appropriations made by the state legisla- ture of 1906-07. The expenditure of $250,000 during the fol- lowing two years, with small amounts for equipment at in- tervals before and since, have furnished working material and accommodations in a degree not elaborate but service- able and modestly adequate for the best work. This is true to an extent which may not be fully appreciated by those who have not visited and compared notes with many schools of the country whose names are often mentioned to repre- sent ideals of excellence. This does not mean that there are not places in our School where more extensive equipment is needed, and it is true that additions must be made in order to provide for the increasing demands at those points. Even the new building is being crowded to the doors by the in- creasing demands, and we may expect to see in the future development a group of buildings that will become essential as the years go on. Instruction in scientific engineering work is not the sole function of the institution. With the development of the modern educational idea, the University becomes the center for all the intellectual interests of the State, and in this plan the School of Technology considers the industries of the State from bottom to top. The boy who leaves the grade school at the age of 14 is cared for and means are being provided by which he may become fitted for a useful place in the world, with a regard the same as that given for the scientific specialist, although the medium for putting this ideal into execution is not developed to the same degree of perfection as is the other. The time is coming when any boy who starts to fit himself for a mechanical trade or other vocation connected with specialized industries can supplement his practical experience by home study in sub- jects which will make for his more perfect development and the more efficient use of his native abilities in his life work, this lieing done through the industrial branches of the University Extension Division. This stands for more than the partial education of a few hundred or a few thousand boys: it represents the realization of the ideal of the University in its School of Technology, standing in the center of the industrial system of the State, training the men in all lines of work other than Agricultural, and solving technical problems which are sure to arise in con- nection with the development of the resources of the State and in the building up of the manufacturing and commercial systems. Progress there has been in passing from the School of yesterday to the School of today, an=! progress there is' bound to be as the School moves on to become the technologi- cal center of the Stkte tomorrow. 14 Photos by A.

GREENLEES HAS MARKED OUT A CAREER WORTHY OF EMULATION BY A YOUNGER GENERATION SOME men can see things clearly, think accordingly, and act defin- itely, and by keeping everlast- ingly at it snatch success fiom the jaws of ruin. Such men usually live on earth, as men among men, and soar high in the admiration won from tlie people with whom they come in contact. Te see possibilities in the products of the soil was instinctive for J. R. Grcenlees, a native of Ottawa, 111., when he left Central Kansas, where he had lived since boyhood, and entered into the wholesale potato business in Lawrence in 1889. Crushed by a hard blow, while on the wrong side of the potato market in 1895, most men would have surrendered to the inevitable. Not so J. R. Greenlees who liad become a factor in the marketing of this product. Realizing his integrity, growers sought Iiis co-operation and found it valuable. Slowly this man of clear mind and per- sistent energy rebuilt his position, until again found in the market on his own initiative. The result is briefly told in the statement that in 1904 he sold a well-established produce business to Messrs. Howard & Burnett who had been trained in his employ. Little wonder, therefore, that Mr. Greenlees tells young men to "see things clearly and then go for it on carefully prepared plans and work, work, work." Him- self a tireless worker with a definite purpose, M. Green- lees early saw the opportun- ities of the Oklahoma oil fields and was found on the ground in the same year, in which he disposed of his po- tato business in Lawrence. Since 1905 J. R. Greenlees has been instrumental in the development of about 300 oil wells in Oklahoma, the building of a pipe line to Coffeyville and later took over the refinery which he had lielped to build in that city, insuring to his interests a capacity of 2000 barrels. Finding it necessary to de- velop a marketing agency, he capped the climax of successful development of producing properties, pipe line and refinery with the organization in Lawrence, Kansas, of the Mutual Oil Company, bringing to his home city a distributing agency of unusual strength. Doing business now in about six states, the company controls the output of several refiner- ies, but Mr. Greenlees has disposed of his interest in the J. R. GREENLEES Residence of J. R. Greenlees, 714 Mississippi St. pipe line and in the Coffeyville refinery. Although his properties are scattered over many states, J. R. Greenlees loves his home in this city and proves it by retaining his residence here. In casual conversatioon he was heard recently to say : "I have seen many places, but I consider Lawrence one of the most beautiful residence cities, if not the most beautiful in the Union." And the proof can surely be found in the fact that this man of many-sided interests spends all the time he can here. His time is greatly in demand on his oil properties in Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming, while the development of over 5,000 acres of horticultural land in Florida and of mining and railroad interests in Colorado under his watchful eye speaks for his ability to "keep everlastingly at it." That with all this Mr. Greenlees finds time to devote to the study of "safe banking methods" is evidenced by his thesis "Sound Banking — With Suggestions for a saf; banking system designed to re- move the cause and prevent the recurrence of panics in the business world." It was issued in pamphlet form in 1912 and Geo. E. Roberts, Director of the Mint, Washington, D. C, said of it in April, 1912, that "it shows a complete knowledge of our financial history and a thorough understanding of the principles involved in the problem." Thus has a man outside of tlie financial cen- ters given to the people of this great nation an oppor- tunity to see clearly the greatest problem of the day. His connection with the Plymouth Congrega- tional Church of Lawrence since his arrival in this city is an honored one and has brought to Mr. Greenlees trusteeship in the church, just as his ability as an au- thor on the great banking topic brought him unsolicit- ed membership in The American Economic As- sociation, whose National headquarters are in Cam- bridge, Mass. His home life is the ideal of a man who sees possibilities in the development of youth for the fu- ture, and this spirit marks J. R. Greenlees as an honored citizen of Lawrence. Few men in the state look after their own interests as energetically as does Mr. Greenlees. without losing interest in civic affairs to some extent. —16- n FACULTY OF THE UNlVEi;^SITY OF \CAHSAS Reading from Left to Right.

Ten years after its first opening the University of Kan- sas took up this work through its normal department estab- lished in 1876. This department was continued for nine years, when it was discontinued by act of the legislature in 1885. For the next nine years the University had little part in the training of Kansas teachers, but in 1894 the Board of Regents created tlie Department of Education under the head- ship of the present acting dean whose service in this field has continued to the present time. Until igog the department was within the college, co-ordinate with the departments of Eng- lish, History, Mathematics and other collegiate subjects. But in that year, to make it possible to do work of a more practi- cal and professional character, the department was erected into the School of Education and in 1910 Charles Hughes Johnston was called from the University of Michigan to the deanship of the new school. Upon the recent resignation of Dean Johnston, Professor Arvin Olin was elected acting dean. The faculty of the School of Education contains twenty- eight members, five whose instructional work is in Educa- tion : Professors Arvin Olin, Raymond A. Schwegler, Ho- mer W. Jdsselyn, A. W. Trettien, and Ralph E. Carter; the other twenty-three include Chancellor Strong, the High School Visitor, and representatives of departments in the engineering, fine arts, and college faculties that offer courses in the School of Education. There are nineteen of these de- partments. The work of the School of Eaucation is accredited by the State Board of Education and students who receive the diploma or the degree of the school are given a three-year state teachers' certificate which is renewable as a life certi- ficate after successful teaching experience. With the recognition of the work done by the University for the training of teachers, giving the highest credentials that a Kansas teacher can hold, large numbers of University students take out the degree Bachelor of Science in Educa- tion or the University Teachers' Diploma; sixty-si.x received such recognition at the last Commencement and seventy-five at the Commencement in June 1912. The training of these students fits them for the higher grade positions as principals and teachers in high schools in this and other states. The university graduates thus trained are also chosen in considerable numbers to serve as profes- sors in colleges and normal schools, and as superintendents of city schools. In the year 1912-1913 there were engaged in the Kansas public schools two hundred thirty-four superin- tendents of city schools, principals and teachers of high schools, who held degrees or diplomas from the University School of Education. The School of Education controls and directs as its lab- oratory. Oread Training School, enrolling nearly two hundred students for work of secondary scliool grade. This institu- tion gives facilities to the teachers-in-training for practice work, and at present has a staff of twenty-eight teachers. The experience of these student-teachers demonstrates and makes practical the theoretical principles underlying the teaching process, and gives familiarity with the more comple-x duties and responsibilities that will fall to them when they take full charge of school activities. Aside from the work that the School of Education does on the University campus, it reaches large numbers of people out in the state, especially teachers through University ex- tension lectures, addresses to clubs, institutes and associa- tions, and through courses of correspondence lessons. Pro- fessor Raymond A. Schwegler is in general charge of the field work of the school and is in great demand as a lec- turer. Each year he and his colleagues in the faculty give scores of public lectures in all parts of the state. —IS- Panoramic View Photo and Copyright 191? by A. Lawrence The Graduate School By Dean F. W. Blackmar THE object of the Graduate School is to furnish means of advanced study and scientific research to students who have completed the course for the bachelor's degree in the University of Kan- sas or in other universities and colleges in good standing. Its practical purpose is to prepare students for teaching specialized subjects in high schools and colleges, for scientific research in laboratories and industries, and for practical management of great enterprises requiring scientific knowledge and practical skill. High schools, colleges and the scientific world now require the specialized knowledge, the general bachelor's course no longer satisfying present needs. The Graduate School of the University of Kansas was established in 1896-7. The committee appointed to draft the plan of organization was composed of Professors A. G. Can- field, S. W. Williston, L. E. Sayre and F. W. Blackmar. Prior to the organization of the school, a limited amount of graduate work was carried on under the direction of a com- mittee. It consisted chiefly in three years' study in absentia. Courses of reading were outlined, on the completion of which the candidate took an examination before the degree was granted. After the organization of the school, candi- dates for the master degree were required to spend at least one year in residence study and candidates for the degree of doctor of philosophy, three years. Professor F. W. Bla:k- mar was appointed Dean of the school as soon as organized, a position which he has held ever since. The faculty of the graduate schoo' makes the rules for its control, and the dean is assisted in the administration by a committee of four. Th; present members are Professors Hodder, Dunlap, Kesler, and Stevens. Professor Hodder has been a member of this com- mittee and secretary of the Graduate faculty since the orga- nization of the school. The degrees given in the Graduate School are : Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Music, Civil Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Mining Engineer, Mechanical Engineer. Chemical Engineer and Doctor of Philosophy. The number of advanced degrees granted by the graduate school since its organization is 501 ; prior to this 89 had been granted by the university making a grand total of 590, degrees. Students holding these degrees are scattered all over the world, many of them teaching, engaging in scientific research or in engi- neering enterprises. In 1912-13, there were 194 students enrolled in the Gradu- ate School, and in June 1913, 54 advanced degrees were granted. The school is growing rapidly in importance. It is the only Graduate School in Kansas, the nearest being the University of Missouri. With a large territory without com- petition the school should continue to grow. To encourage graduate work and to assist worthy stu- dents of marked ability, the following fellowships paying the nominal sum of $280.00 each have been established by the University of Kansas : seventeen university fellowships open to graduates of the University of Kansas and all other col- leges and universities in good standing, the best equipped can- didates being appointed ; university fellowships to Kansas Colleges, one to each of eleven colleges in the state, candi- dates chosen from the annual graduating classes by the fac- ulties of the respective colleges. The choice is based on the merit or scholarship of the candidate. Also, eighteen fellowships in industrial research hav" been provided in recent years by business men, ranging from $500 to $1,500 each, to encourage research in particular lines. This Department of Industrial Research is now devoting its energies to the investigation of Kansas problems. The great difference between a mere school and a real university is largely determined by the character and amount of graduate work that it does. The importance of advanced work, and the demands upon the graduate school at present, indicates that it should have a large support by the state. —19- I I The Record of a Decade i C ] By E iM I L Held |_ I T HK University of today is so much greater than the K. U. I went out from that I ahnost wonder if my degree still holds good," said a graduate ot 1901 who came back for a look around the campus a few weeks ago. "When I visited my old home town this summer after ten years absence," he con- tinued, "I found that Tide Brown's black- smith shop had been remodelled for the use of the Ladies' Aid Society, and that there was a new cigar sign on the side of the city drug store; but with the exception of a few such small improvements the old town was about the same. "But here on Mt. Oread everything is changed — twice as many buildings ; the cam- pus doubled in size ; two students for every one we had then ; new departments, new schools, new ideas being worked out, and a new spirit everywhere. And we alumni know what the answer is — or, in this case who in large measure is respon- sible — the organizer and builder who has had the satisfac- tion of helping to realize large University plans in stone and brick, in academic efficiency, in helpful activities for the peo- ple of the state, and in an increased University prestige at home and abroad." The old graduate who returns today to visit his alma matei does indeed need a guide, and he also needs an interpreter, for a great university is a place of mixed tongues. The simple unity of the small college must give place to a diver- sity of interests and effort as great as the diversity of life. The state university, especially, as it has come up to its ma- turity has found its functions multiplied. The obligation, laid upon it in the beginning, of giving a liberal education to the youth of the state has remained unchanged; but other obligations havf appeared and have been assumed, to the end that the greatest good may be returned by the institution to the greatest r.umber of those who maintain it. In the pasi decade the University of Kansas has become known as a leader in these lines of development, and the or- ganization of its extension work and its state service work has been one of the notable achievements of Chancellor Strong's administration. But this has been only one of the three main directions in which the University has pressed forward. The three-fold policy of the present Chancellor has been. First, to build up the work of teaching; Second, to (.•ncourage research work ; and. Third, to do state service work, PHYSICAL GROWTH. To accomplish large things along these three lines, the first requisite was money — money translated into buildings and equipment and men. The total income of the University in 1002 was $199,126; its income for the present year is $620,- 000. For new buildings, $614,500 has been spent during the past ten years to cover the cost of the following: Green Hall, Robinson Gymnasium, two hospital buildinjjs and a clinical laboratory Iniilding at Rosedale, Marvin Hall, the power plant, mechanical laboratory, Haworth Hall, clay working-laboratory. EMIL HELD service building, and the first wing of the Administration and College Building. A vision of what the University is to be in the future has led to a steady effort to acquire more land. The campus has been increased since 190:2 from 7/ acres to i6g acres and much has been done towards putting it into attractive shape. Teaching and research laboratories have been multiplied many times, the number now being 168. The usefulness of the library has been in- creased in the ratio of 38,000 volumes ten years ago, to 85,000 volumes now, and the amount spent for books is now $15,000 a year instead of $5,000. THE TEACHING SIDE. In its educational scope the University of Kansas has taken on the many-sidedness of the 'rue univer- sity. The usefulness of the University was increased by the or- ganization and development of the Summer Session in 1903. The full four-year course in medicine was established in 1905, and the necessary hospital equipment was provided. A nurses' training school was opened in 1906. The School of Education was organized in 1909. In the same yeal the Division of the University Extension was established. The work in economics has been developed into a separate department as has also the work in bacteriology. To satisfy obvious needs, new departments have been es- tablished for industrial research, journalism, home economics, and architectural engineering. New courses have been organized in business, accounting, investments, insurance, corporate finance, ceramics, and pol- itical science. , A new five-year course in engineering is now offered. For the handling of this new work and the increased num- ber of students the size of the faculty has been increased from 77 to 186. THE RESEARCH SIDE. The tendency has been for research work by University men to become more general and to develop along more di- verse lines. Departments too numerous to name in a brief survey have engaged in scientific experiments. One line of state research of recent establishment is th.; biological survey. The geological survey of the state has been lodged perma- nently in the University as a part of its work. Research in various industrial fields has been carried out. STATE SERVICE WORK. A river which flows to the sea in an unbroken current may have both beauty and use, but a greater blessing to mankind is a river which gives a part of its stream to the irrigation of broad and fertile acres. Such a figure may express the idea behind University extension and state service work. Such work has been developed in practically every school in the University, Engineering, Pharmacy, the College, Education, Medicine, Law. It deals with scores of subjects. A bare -20- enumeration of the lines of investigation and of service fills a half dozen pages in a recent bulletin. The cost of the state service work during the past bienniuin approximated $40,000 per year. In 1902 there was one ma.i doing state work; during the past year there were sixteen giving their entire time and twenty-four giving part of their time to that work. RELATIONS WITH OTHER SCHOOLS. With the colleges and high schools of the state the rela- tions of the University liave grown close and mutually help- ful. Some of the new agencies which have worked to this end are : , i The establishment of high-school visitation. The service of recommending teachers. The changes in entrance requirements making them more flexible. ■ . ' The visitation and affiliation of colleges. The granting of fellowships for Kansas colleges. With institutions of the highest rank throughout the coun- try the standing and prestige of the University has greatly in- creased. One indication of this is found in the larger number of fellowships and scholarships offered by other standard in- stitutions to students of the University. Another is its mem- bership in the Association of American Universities, compris- ing the twenty-two foremost educational institutions. STUDENT BODY. Not only in numbers has there been advancement in the student body during the administration of Chancellor Strong. The enrollment has increased from 1294 in 1902 to more than double that number for the present year; but there has been an equally marked change in other respects. The forms of student disorder popular in former years have been done away with. The average of scholarship has been increased. Student government has been introduced and es- tablished on a successful basis. Student enterprises, particu- larly athletics, have been improved by the. introduction of per- manency. The University life in general has been enriched during the past decade by the introduction of worthy features. Among these may be mentioned the development of the chapel service, the vesper service, the art exhibition, and the Bible institute. Great years in the history of the University of Kansas have been the past ten or twelve, covering a period which will stand out in future retrospect as a time of wonderful expansion in which the institution found itself and its true place in the life of the state.

Phar- With a Record of Achievement in Behalf of the City, A. Li. Seiig Remains an Honored Citizen The Safe Way Is to Own a Hotne — A Policy of the Lawrence Building zs: hoan-Association WHEN A. L. Selig came to the United States from Hamburg, Germany and landed in Castle Garden on August i, 1858, he was only a lad of twelve years. With his father he came to Leavenworth, and in 1859 he arrived in Law- rence. .\fter that he was for a time employed as a water carrier while con- struction work was being carried on by the Hannibal & St. Joe Railroad, work- ing his way east in the fall of 1859. A. L. Selig's love for this country was manifested, when as a lad — only fifteen years, two months and four days old — he enlisted in 1861 in the 49th Illinois regi- ment. His father became a member of the 2nd Kansas regi- ment, was wounded and taken prisoner A. L. SELIG to Texas. The son served three years and then re-enlisted, serving until the close of the war. Soon after, about Oct. i, 1865 ; he came to Lawrence again at the age of nineteen. Learning the trade of a tinner, A. L. Selig some years later gave evidence of his ability to cope with detail, when he entered into the insurance busi n e s s in 1874. Mr. Selig still carries on his insurance business a n d remains an honored citizen, respected by all. He began his political career in i8po serving as a member of tlie council for two years. In i8ji .A. L. Selig was nom- inated a n d elected mayor of the city of Lawrence, lay- ing the plans for improve- ment of the OFFICE OF A. L. SELIG ^ity which, for a time at least, brought him some opposition. The fact that he was re-elected for the following term indicated, however, that the people appreciated his efforts. In 1901 he was again elected mayor and again thus honored in 1905. Mr. Selig had the interests of the city at heart, while in office and the results, prove it. . i— ■EH ■« " :^ -^^f"^ - IN 9WI ^ •" tJlli i '=5 - .•— - - ■ -- A'^k^.

To make it possible for men and women in every walk of life to realize on this dream, men of means and of consideration for others have organized in many cities for mutual benefit. On February i, 1909, the Lawrence Building and Loan Association began to do busi- ness with the same object in view. The first officers were: G. W. Jones, M. D., President ; Chancellor Frank Strong, Vice-President ; Dudley Asher, Treasurer and U. S. G. Plank, Secretary. Since then about ninety-five contracts ■ have been made, enabling people inclined to save, to purchase their own homes and pay for them on practically a rental basis. The loans in Dr. G. W. JONES.

The remarkable success of the Lawrence Building and Loan Association is particularly exemplified in the fact that not a single lapse of any contract is on record. This indi- cates a fair treatment on the part of the .Association of botli investors and borrowers. It proves furthermore that even the man who finds it an advantage to buy a home on a con- servative payment plan does so, because it pays to own a U. S, G. PLANK. Secretary DUDLEY ASHER.

The directors of the Lawrence Building & Loan Association are: G. W. Jones, M. D., W. E. Hazen, Chancellor Frank Strong, U. S. G. Plank, Stansbury Thompson, Frank Banks and W. C. Simons. -24— S" r^^' THE LAWRENCE RAILWAY &f LIGHT COMPANY HAS BEEN A FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY. JUDGE DENNIS DWYER Builder ALBER r EMANUEL President I SINCE its organization a little over four years agi> the Lawrence Railway and Light Company has been instrumental in the upbuilding of the community. Granted a franchise in the same months, in which it was incorporated, active construction work began soon after, while cars arrived the nineteenth of September of the same year, ready for service. Power was secured from a local plant of ample ca- pacity. Ever since then improve- ments have kept pace with the de- mand. In Juuc I 9 I o the Lawrence Amusement Company was organized for the pur- pose of taking over any rights to Woodland Park for amuse- ment purposes. Modern picnic grounds resulted. Im- mediately following this arrangement, an adequate sum was invested by the amusement corporation for needed improve- ments and equipment. The Douglas County Fair Associa- tion has since held its annual fair at Woodland Park, se- curing not only the necessary co-opera- tion, but also unusual facilities. Judge Dennis Dwy- er, who was presi- dent of the compan> . in charge of the con- struction work by the railway company, is also a stockholder ii the Lawrence corpor- ation and deserves much of the credit for the early com- uletion of the read. That his interest, or that of the other of- ficers, has not waned is evidenced by their hearty support of anything that benefits the city of Lawrence. The officers and directors of the Lawrence Railway & Light Company, incorporated under the laws of the State of Kansas, are: Albert Emanuel, President ; Wm. F. Breidenbach, Treasur- er ; Leopold Rauh, Secretary ; J. T. Skinner, Local Mana- ger; Irving Hill, and Raymond F. Rice. I WM. F. BREIDENBACH Treasurer J. T. SKINNER Lccal Manager GENERAL OFFICES AND SALESROO.M. 719 MASSACHUSETTS STREET The officers and directors of the Lawrence Amusement Company are: Irving Hill, President; J. T. Skinner, Secre- tary; T. J. Sweeney, Treasurer; W. G. Hutson, Vice Pres- ident and W. E. Spalding. The Lawrence Railway and Light Company carries a line of electric appliances and utensils requiring electricity as fue:. That di- rect needs of the city will be met by this company as traffic and growth war- rants, is felt by those who have watched the efforts made t o date. It is evident that the officersi of the Law- rence Railway Ik Light Company realize that it pays to make improvements, even at the risk of dividends deferred. The equipment has recently been touched up and on all special occasions the management aims to give service :idequate to meet the increased demand. The biennial convention of the Fraternal Aid Association, held here recently, taxed t.ie railway service to its capacity, but ar- rangements had been made for extra men, so that a more fre- quent service, ex- tended into longer hours, did not un- duly tax the physi- cal strength of the regular force. ]\Ir. Skinner is popular with the cit- izens of Lawrence, while the Dayton, Ohio, capitalists, who have furnished a sat- isfactory light and railway service for this city, are inclined to look with favor upon any suggestion, made by the local manager, calling for improvement. Through the subsidiary corporation, known as the Lawrence Amusement Company, the city has enjoyed a modern pleasure grounds, where old and young have been en- abled to spend a day or evening under favorable weather con- ditions, without interference from an undesirable element. The attendance proves the popularity of VVoodla:id Park. j For Over a Quarter of a Century the \ JFatkins National Bank has Earned \ and Held the Confidence of the People Al Left: Bank Building Al Right: Main Slaircase Lower 1 ,efl: General Banking Room EVERY city has a natural tendency to expand. The Watkins National Bank Building today stands as nne of the beauty spots of the city of Lawrence i.i the htart of the growing business section. Planned bv its founder and owner to meet the require- ments of the future, the building is ample for the present needs. Interior improvements have been made, however, to maintain the high standard of the banking facilities. The wall has been lined with magnetized steel and connected with burglar alarms so that it is impossible to in any way interfere without arous- ing a general alarm. The first Board of Directors consisted of J. B. Watkins, C. A. Hill, W. E. Hazen, R. A. Steele, Charles L o t h h o 1 z , Paul 'i. Brooks, and D. M. Sprankle. Starting without any surplus, the bank's steady growth and success has been largely due to the care of its directors, the fi- delity and service of its officers and employees, the attention given to all accounts and to the courtesy and popularity of its management. Its ;.aviiigs li^iiartment handles a large number of small accounts. With a surplus and undivided profits in ex- cess of the capital stock the Watkins National Bank is one of the honor banks of the country, but the bank has at all times looked after the needs of small- er customers, both in receiving deposits and in grant- ing loans. Tlie students of the University of Kansas have learned to appreciate this courtesy The only change in the officers of the bank dur- ing twenty-five years of existence took place, when C. H. Tucker succeeded Paul R. Brooks as cashier thirteen years ago. Messrs. Watkins, Hill and Hazeii have been officers and directors of the bank since it was organized. The present Board of Directors in- cludes J. B. Watkins, President; C. A. Hill, Vice Preiidert; C. H. Tucker, Cashier; W. E. Hazen, As- sistant Cashier; J. C. Moore, T. C. Green, and S. D. Bishop.

V)., Associate Dean and Professor of Surgery I IT has been but a few years since the United States pos- sessed half of the medical schools in the entire world, and while some of them were ranked among the best, the worst medical schools in the entire world were located here. In the majority of in- stances, a medical school existed at this time in order to make money for the owners and to grant to any one for a minimum period of study and a fee, a diploma to practice medicine. In the last decade the various states have passed stringent regulations in regard to the laws governing the practice of medicine and the requirements for the admission of students to schools of medicine and the requisite facilities for medical schools upon which they shall be recognized. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education has insisted that the broader principles of general education be fol- lowed in the institutions which receive its approval and pub- lished a scathing report of conditions as they were found. The American Medical Association has made three inspec- tions of medical schools, grading and classifying them ac- cording to equipment and facilities and the manner of their use ; so that today a medical school has ceased to be an in- stitution that can be exploited for profit and granting of di- plomas and the purpose of their existence has been broaden- ed so that their usefulness has multiplied in many directions. In the last thirty years the expectation of life has great- ly increased. Preventive medicine has advanced by rapid strides, thanks to scientific medicine. The function of the medical school has been enlarged because the work which adds to the comfort and length of life, and the discovery of methods for the prevention of disease receive attention in its laboratories. In addition to making discoveries, it is neces- sary that this knowledge so obtained shall be widely diffused. This is not and should not be the province of the medical profession alone. To show how important this diffusion of knowledge can be, it is only necessary to state that scientific medicine only a few years ago showed us the way in which tuberculosis (consumption) could be practically eradicated from the face of the earth in a few years. Progress is being made in this direction ; for instance, ten years ago, one per- son in seven died of tuberculosis, while now the number is only one in ten. We know absolutely how typhoid fever can be prevented; and yet every year it takes its toll of the young and active all over the country, because it is in the age of early maturity that this disease works its greatest havoc. The same statement can be made regarding a number of other contagious diseases. In addition to the discovery and dissemination of knowl- edge for the prevention of disease, it is necessary for the school of medicine to maintain hospitals and dispensaries and so become an active agent in the practice of curative medi- cine. This work must be almost entirely of a charitable or beneficent character. By the proper use of this phase of the work of the medical school, much suffering can be prevented and many cases can be alleviated ; so that from an economic standpoint alone, this work is justified. The University of Kansas was one of the first to recog- nize the importance of the dissemination of the knowledge of —27- methods for the prevention of disease. In fact, the educa- tion of doctors and the granting of degrees is accepted as but one phase of its work. Two years ago, a consolidation was effected by which the Secretary of the Board of Health of Kansas has become the Dean of the School of Medicine; so that the laboratories and facilities of the institution can be used by the Board of Health for the solution of problems over the entire state. To distribute this information, a school for county and state health officers has been maintained for the past two summers. This course is of short duration and prac- tical in character ; but from the large attendance the two sum- mers that it has been held, its popularity and importance have been demonstrated. The state has been enabled in this way to command the skill of any number of the medical faculty to aid in checking an epidemic or in investigation of conditions that are a menace to the public health. The school of medicine has also made a beginning in *he development of a reference library, not only for the use of its students and instructors, but with the idea that physicians in the state can Secure information on any topic of special in- terest or follow any subject of unusual character and obtain all information possible on that subject through its vise. As far as it has been able to secure facilities, it has also attempted to make examinations of a difficult or unusual character for the physicians of the state, particularly where these examinations deal with contagious diseases, or have a bearing on the public health. This work has been greatly handicapped on account of the lack of funds. Through its hospital and laws allowing the counties to send in their sick it is giving relief to those who could not otherwise obtain it, aiding many, who might otherwise become public charges, to become economically independent. The first governor of the state of Kansas was a physi- cian and has left his estate to the University of Kansas. Ac cording to his wishes and that of his wife, this fund is to be used in the providing of additional facilities for the school of medicine. It has long been the plan of the institution to use this fund for a building when it became available ; and the new Board of Administration has expressed its intention to carry out the w'ish and intention of Governor Robinson. Hence, it would seem that it is only a matter of. a year or two until the school of medicine will be able to meet fully and in every way the demands placed upon it by the moden; conception of the place occupied by a school of medicine in modern society — A place for the education of future physic- ians and nurses; a place for the investigation and study of diseases in the hope that new methods of prevention and al- leviation may be discovered ; an institution for the dissem'- nation of knowledge regarding preventive measures as prac- ticed by the entire population of the state;, an institution which stands ready to furnish information through its li- brary and its laboratories to the physicians of the state so that their work may be carried on more proficiently and in accordance with the progress of the science of medicine ; an institution for the care of those sick, in any way, and largely for those individuals who without state or charitable aid must suffer or become incapacited on account of the lack of proper means for the cure and alleviation of their diseases.

On January 2, 1913 deposits were $537,946.16. At this writing the amount shows an increase to about $600,000.00.

Stubbs upon the latter's resig- nation, after his election to the office of Governor of Kan- sas, in 1910. ■ Mt. Bromelsick was for a long time engaged in business in this city, before he began his banking career. Mr. Sweeney had represented the different express com- panies and the Postal Telegraph Co. for many years before he organized the bank. Mr. Lewis succeeded J. E. Stubbs as vice-president in January 1912. The bank is now depository for four public funds, in- cluding deposits from the State of Kansas, Treasurer of Douglas County, Treasurer of the City of Lawrence, and from the State University. —28- LAWRENCE THE CITY OF HOMES .,-,,,., c 1.

F. M. and L. H. Perkins. Extending its scope over the entire United States the establishment was incoi- porated in 19 10 as the Perkins Loan & Trust Co. In IQ12 the site of the present quarters was prepared for the new and modern office building, shown on this page, which was opened for occupancy about three months ago. A decfded step forward in the city's steady onward march of progress, the build- ing has every modern convenience, including elevator service. An investment of $75,000 is involved in the site and structure. The Perkins Loan & Trust Co. occupies the corner of the building, having subdivided the quarters as pictured be- low. In addition to the mortgage business the ^ ^ . ,. • , PERKINS company is authorized by law to act as trustee under bond issues, registrar and transfer agent for corporations, executor and administra- tor of estates, guard 'an of minor children, the insane and incompetent, agent in the care of real estate and as fi- nancial agent.

W. Green ••H THE law school has practically supplanted the law office as a place of preparation for the practice of law. It was quite late in the nineteenth cen- tury that law schools began to be established. Prior to that time the young man desiring to study law sought admission to some law office. In a few of these offices some attention was given to the student by the lawyer, with whom the student was presumed to be studying, but in the majority of offices the student was left to his own resources. Usually a copy of Blackstone's Commentaries was placed in his hands and without assistance he was e^:- pected to master this most intricate of all sciences. It is obvious that systematic instruction by teachers of e.xperience will result not only in a more thorough, but a more speedy preparation for the bar than is psssible through the desultory reading in a busy office. In addition the student will acquire a more exact and scientific knowledge of the law. The law school of the University of Kansas was estab- lished in the school year of 1878 by Rev. James Marvin, then Chancellor of the University, and the regents who were in office at that time. The growth of the school for the first few years was slow owing to a lack of funds. The other schools of the University were clamoring for assistance and although the legislature was liberal, as it has always been, in its appropriations, the amount appropriated was not sufficient to meet the demands of this growing University. The law school began with one instructor. It now has five instructors who give the whole of their time to the school. It has also several non-resident lecturers who lec- ture in special fields of the law. The faculty of this school frnni the first believed that the principal function of the school was to train men to practice law. With this in view it has been its aim to im- part an accurate knowledge of the principles of the law and to illustrate the application of these principles to the prac- tical affairs of life. It has always been recognized that the mastery of the general principles of the law and the logical faculty to follow these principles to their legitimate conse- quences is what gives power to a lawyer. It must, therefore, be the aim of the law school to give a training that will give power of reasoning in dealing with general principles and also a knowledge of those principles. In a word, the aim of the law school should be to teach the student both to knov/ and apply the law. While the main function of the law school is to teach the young men who come up to it the principles of the law and how to apply them, the faculty of the law school recog- nize that a knowledge of the law and the discipline of study in a law school is of the greatest value to those students who contemplate a business rather than a professional career. The law school of the University of Kansas is supported in a large measure by the people of the state. They, therefore, have a right to demand of it that it shall so shape the course of instruction that the state may derive the greatest benefit possible. The state has the right to demand of it that it train efficient lawyers and judges. It also has the right to demand of it that it train efficient legislators and government officials. The number of young men who takg law without any in- tention of making it a profession is constantly increasing. The great majority of graduates of our Universities are destined for a business career and these are coming to realize that the study of law not only gives them an excellent training, but in addition gives them much information which can be utilized in their life work. In this state many of our law makers and the officers of state are drawn from the graduates of the University and the graduates of the law school. The number will greatly increase in the future. Kansas has a greater percentage of college and university graduates than has any other state. Having tliis in mind the faculty, with the approval of the Board of Administration of Educational Institutions, have laid down a course for those seniors of the school of arts and sciences, and those not connected with the Universitv who can comply with the requirements for admission, which will enable them to become more efficient law makers and public officials and will also be of great assistance to them in a business life. The number seeking this course is constantly increasing. Beginning witli an enrollment of i'we the law school has increased in numbers so that at the present it has two hun- dred students enrolled. Its graduates are located in every county of the state. They are filling the positions of county attorney, probate judge and district judge in many of the counties. Three of its graduates are members of congress from this state. Many are located in other states. It can be fairly claimed that the law school of the Uni- versity of Kansas has given the young men of Kansas an 'opportunity to obtain a scientific knowledge of the law which they could not have obtained had it not been established. STATISTICS ON THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS By EMIL EVERY citizen of the state should consider these facts: The cost of the University of Kansas is on the average nnich below the average of other institutions of like rank. For instance, the cost at the University of Kansas is now about $175 per student per year. The afverage in other institu- tions of like rank belonging to the Association of American Universities reaches over $200 per year and in some of them rises to $300 per year. The income of the University of Kan- sas is small compared with that of other institutions of like rank. The University of Wisconsin has a total income of much over $2,000,000 a year. The University of Minnesota HELD and the University of Illinois have incomes fully as great as that of Wisconsin. The University of Kansas for the same year had an income of about $525,000. The University of Nebraska received from the last legislature a continuing ap- propriation for si.x years for buildings only, which is esti- mated will yield nearly $2,500,000. The University of Kan- sas has an appropriation for buildings for two years only amounting to $25,000. The University of Kansas has practically no permanent income, the amount being but $7,200 per year. The Univer- sity of Michigan's permanent income is $1,600,000 per year. -33- B—- — "B i The High Statulard of the Nursery | i Business in Kansas is Exemplified in \ The Griesa Nurseries of Lawrence \ s I I3«" NURSERYMEN were among the pioneers who located in Lawrence during the early sixties, the first nursery being established in the city by a Mr. Hamni. In the later sixties the name Griesa was added to those who were pa'ving the way for national fame of an infant industry. That name still remains on history's pages, dating back to pioneer days, with a record of having outlived others, yet with a new standard that not only keeps pace with later arrivals, but sets a pace of its own. T. E. Griesa, who came here in 1880, soon centered his attention on the enterprise, known as The Griesa Nurseries and now recognized as one of the largest wholesale and re- tail nurseries of this section. In 1903 the modern packing plant, pictured on this page, was erected to meet the demands of a constantly ex- panding business. On acreage, equal to the best the up-to-date nurseryman requires, The Griesa Nurser- ies grow apple, peach, cherry, plum, pear, and apricot trees, grape vines and a full line of shrub- Iiery and ornamental trees. Apple seed- lings, for which the Kaw Valley country is famous, are a fac- tor in the output of this nursery. Mr. Griesa, who is a native of the state of New York brought with him the hardy, vigorous energy of the East- —a ern state and ap- plied it to careful study of local con- ditions, making his home his castle, his business, his ambition and his attainments the logical result of applied knowledge. The responsibitity T. E. GRIESA of a growing business has left no imprint, other than a de- sire to maintain the highest possible standard in the nursery line. Thus T. E. Griesa has not only added to the fame of the city of Lawrence throughout the Union, but has given his fellow citizens evi- dence of harmon}' with anything that is for the betterment or makes for the ex- pansion of the whole coramunit}'. Having reached the point, when policy and good business judgment required ef- forts to meet compe- tition with stock that cannot be profitably grown in the state of Kansas, Mr. Griesa purchased a large farm at North Cohocton, New York. Here the first planting was done in 1912 and since then his New York State Nur- series have become a factor in the national nursery market. Packing House — The Griesa Nurseries Residence of T. E.

SUTTON, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VIGOR, SNAP AND ENERGY, WINS AND INSPIRES SUCCESS .(3 I I I i ^^ .^—a AFTER meeting Charles E. Sutton once, the average man will find little difficulty in recognizing hint at any time even in a casual meeting. There are , some men whose every movement, even thou,i;>h their backs are turned, identifies their personal- ity at a glance. To have met Charlie Sutton, as he is familiarly known all oVer Kansas, means to know a man of vigor, snap, and one full of energy, a man ever ready to sizi up a project and able to gauge its possibil- ities in big figures. Some inen are born with a capacity for big business and then able to train their minds for the e.Kecution of care- fully laid plans. Charles E. Sutton was born in Canons- burg, Pa., in 1869. He received a common school education at Utica, N. Y. At the age of fifteen he entered the employ of the Quig- ley Furniture Co. as a box makers' helper at ?i per day. Four years later found him a director in the company and its Western representative. In 1S91 he was in poor health and came to his father's ranch in Russell County, Kansas. Later he rented a farm of 720 acres adjoining the town, pur- chasing the property three years after. By 1905 he had ac- quired over 8,500 acres of improved land. In 1906 Mr. Sutton sold some 4,000 acres of the Sutton Ranch and came to Lawrence, where he purchased the Thuninul l'"ar.ii (if 4R0 acres, five" miles Notlth of Lawrence. and also the beautiful Poehler place "Elm- hurst," adjoining t h o city on t h e .South - Later he added th. tract, now known a "Breezedale," t o hi holdings, platting th.- latter and building five unusually attra c t i v t homes thereon. Mr. Sutton's hobby is his "Home" — and babies in fancy stock. and his success alony these lines is his greatest source o f pleasure. The "Sut- ton Farms" are stock- CHARLES E SUTTON "Cfiarlie Sutton" A Man of Affairs ELMHURST- Beautiful home of Charles E Sutton. ed with over 300 registered .\ngus cattle, 500 hogs and too horses. In 1896 Mr. Sutton was elected a member of the Kan sas State Board of Agriculture and later became its presi- dent. After retiring from the presidency, he was re-electeJ a member of the Board and continues his in- terest in its activities. Three years ago Mr. Sutton, together witli several other Lawrence parties, became interested in lands near Pueblo, Colorado. These Colorado interests soon assumed large proportions and Mr. Sutton is enthusiastic over their possibilities. At this time he is president of The Turkey Creek Stone, Clay & Gypsum Co., with a capital of $500,000.00: vice-president of The Colorado-Kansas Rail- way Co., with a capital of $500,000.00; and president of the Pueblo Land & Irrigation Co., with a capital of $100,000.00. The gen- eral offices of these corporations are located in Pueblo. The stone for the new Perkins Building in Lawrence was furnished by his company. Mr. Sutton's Angijs cattle and Berk- shire hogs are always among the prize win- ners; his farms are among the best in Douglas County; his Colorado properties are money makers, but Mr. Sutton is in a class by himself, hard to describe. He is a good judge of men. no less a judge of soil, as thorough a judge of stock. a competent organiz- er, an intelligent em- ployer, a man of af- fairs, a lover of his home and family, ever interested in the for- ward march of pro- gress, but always a hard worker and a hustler. He is a man who makes good. Right here a distinc- tion makes itself felt, for many men make good in the general sense. But Mr. Sutton actually creates and thus helps others to make good with him. Men of his class in- spire their fellow-men. —41— ig.— .. .-H THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM I OF THE CITY OF LAWRENCE I I The History of Progress Bv F. P. Smith SupermtenJent F. P SMITH THE HISTORY OF PROGRESS THE Board of Education of the City of Lawrence was organized May 6, 1867, but there had been a system of schools in operation before this for several years. Our first settlers were a peculiar people. Most generally settlers are adventurers or home-makers. The purpose of our settlers was to plant homes of freedom, to make Kansas a free state after the form of what they thought a free state should be. They came not only to combat slavery, but to build up a common- wealth whose foundation stones were liberty, freedom and intelligent loyal citizenship. The first thing they did was to build churches and schools; then, they built their homes. Intelligence and religion were their chief corner stones. Gen. Pomeroy said, "We come with open Bibles and open spelling books. Our purpose is to place the one upon the pulpit of a free church, and the other upon the desk of a free school." Among those in harmony with this sentiment were: E. B. Whitman, Rev. Ephraim Nute, Chas. Robinson, agent of Amos A. Lawrence, Geo. W. Deitzler and Dr. S. B. Prentiss. Lawrence was seVJed in August, 1854; and in January, 185s, Edward P. Fitch opened the first school. This was a free school, for the contributors threw open the doors to all the children. Fitch was followed in succession by Miss Kellogg, Miss Lucy Wilder and others. In the spring of 1857 the schools were enlarged and placed under the con- trol of our honored fellow townsman, Mr. C. L. Edwards. Then the "Quincy High School" was established. A city government was established in 1857, and the schools came under the control of the city. Then followed as assistants. Misses Lucy Wilder, Sarah A. Brown, Lizzie P. Haskell and Isabella G. Oakley, and others. In 1861 the city charter was amended and the schools were placed in the control of three trustees, one of whom was superintendent and clerk of the schools. The first tax was levied and placed at the disposal of the Board. The first trustees under this organization were : L. BuUene, John Wilder and T. Dwight Thatcher. A little later Thatcher resigned and was followed by B. W. Woodward. In 1863 Rev. Richard Cordley was elected as a member of the Board and Superintendent of the city schools, the other members of the Board being B. W. Woodward and Gurdon F, H. OLNEY The Lawrence High School By F. H. Olnev Principal Grovenor. Quantrell's Raid followed on August 21, 1863. All the records were destroyed and much of the old history was never again recorded; for many of our early active people were laid away in their lowly beds out at Oak Hill, soon after that fateful August morning. The citizens began to urge the city officers to build city school houses; so, in 1864, a conference of the Board and the School Committee of the Council, consisting of Mr. Samuel Kimball and Mr. O. W. McAllaster, was held. The following plan was agreed upon : — three buidings, one in the west part of the city, one in the center and one in the east. When the report was submitted to the council, it was decapitated at both ends. But those September days of 1864 were fateful days. Every able-bodied man was ordered into active military service by the governor. School house building was forgotten, but schools went on. Soon the storm clouds rose, even if they did pass over. In 1865, the enrollment was 685, and there were 9 teach- ers in the employ of the Board. The building proposition was resurrected, and a contract was let for the building of the Central School for the sum of $11,100. In 1867, a new law came into effect, establishing a Board of Education essentially as it exists today. The first Board consisted of B. W. Woodward, L. BuUene, A. Newman, Rev. Geo. F. Chapin, J. S. Brown and Geo. S. Dearborn. The Quincy school was built in 1867 at a cost of $9,000, including furni- ture. In 1869 New York school was built at a cost of $9,000; in 1870, Vermont at a cost of $10,000; in 1871, Pinckney at a cost of $6,000; in 1871, Quincy was enlarged at a cost of $10,000; in 1871, the Board purchased the "old chapel" grounds. During the same period, the two buildings north of the river were erected. (North Lawrence was then a separate organization). In 1870, North and South Lawrence were consolidated. The schools were graded somewhat on the present plan by Dr. Newman in 1869. The High School was established in 1870, and graduated its first class in 1875. The graduates of that year were Frank C. Miller and Mary V. Murphy. The present High School building was erected in 1890, at a cost of $35,000; the present Central School was erected in 1900, at a first cost of $25,000 ; later $6,000 were added. The present Manual Training building was erected in 1908 at a cost of $40,000; the rebuilding of the New York school structure is just being completed at a cost of about $14,000. When completed it will be the best, nearest ideal and fire- proof of any of the buildings. Thus, our schools have grown slowly to their present dimensions, covering a good elementary course of eight years. Special attention is paid to physical training and woodwork for the boys and physical training, sewing and cooking for the girls. The High School offers the usual courses, admitting to the best colleges and universities of the work was adopted. Two courses, the classical and the scientific, were included. In the list of subjects, as published then, are: Astronomy, Geology, Logic, Trigonometry and Mental Philosophy, besides the traditional Latin, English and History. Prof. Ephriam Miller, later Professor in the Uni- versity of Kansas, was the first principal. In his first report to the Superintendent he says, "In Sep- tember, 1871, six students composed the first regular class. In January, twenty-nine more came in, making a total en- Manual Training School land. A good course in mechanical drawing, woodwork, cooking, sewing and normal work, is offered in addition to the regular work in physics, chemistry, botany, history, Eng- lish, the languages and mathematics. The school spirit is enthusiastic, healthful and inspiring. The support of citi- zens is loyal and true. The following are the men who have had charge of our city schools, acting in the capacity of Superintendent, from the beginning to the present time : C. L. Edwards, 1857- 1859; Chas. W. Adams, 1859-1860; S. M. Thorpe, 1860-1862 ; B. W. Woodward, 1862-1863 ; Richard Cordley, 1863-1868; Dr. A. Newman, 1868-1870; Rev. W. C. Tenny, 1870-1871 ; W. C. Rote, 1871-1874; W. H. Cole, 1874-1876; D. B. Fnglish, 1876-1877; W. A. Boles, 1877-1880; E. Stanley, High School rollment of thirty-five for 1871-72. Some simple apparatus, philosophical and chemical ; small, but well selected cabinets of specimens, illustrating Geology and Natural History ; better furniture and conveniences are very much needed."' Among the thirty-five names appear the following: Sarah Flinn, Lizzie Miller, Willie Carruth, Willie and Charleb Gleed. The High School, together with four upper grades, oc- cupied Old Central. Only one room was devoted to the High School and one teacher was able to do the work. But one teacher was added in the first ten or twelve years. The slow growth of the school during this period was due to the fact that the University maintained a full three years preparatory course and many Lawrence pupils pre- Central School 1880-1894; and since 1894 F. P. Smith, the present superin- tendent has held the office. S. A. X THE LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL The High School Department was added to the public school system in 1870. A curriculum, covering three years' New York School ferred that to the High School. During the decade 1880-90, this preparatory work was gradually dropped at the Univer- sity and the growth of the High School dates from this period. In 1885 the enrollment was 147 and three teachers constituted the faculty. In the meantime Prof. Miller and his successor. Prof. F. O. Marvin, had accepted positions in the University of -43- Kansas. Mr. Cooper became principal in 1878, serving until 1885, when he went to Newton as Superintendent. Mr. L. M. Spray was principal for one year. He was followed by Mr. \. J. May, who was in charge till the end of the year 1890-91. By this time, twenty years after organization, the High School had an enrollment of 327, with a faculty of seven. To accommodate this enlarged enrollment, Lawrence voted bonds in 1889 for the High School Building. The building was occupied in the winter of 1890, although for the early part of the term the classes were held in rooms down town In 1891, Prof. W. H. Johnson, now of the University, be- came principal, holding that position for two years, when he resigned to accept the principalship of the High School at Helena, Montana. Principal F. H. Olney came to the High School from the Newton High School in 1893. From 1891 to 1901, the growth of the High School was steady. By the latter date, the total enrollment had reached 544. The addition of a fourth year to the course in 1898 accounted in part for the increase. The next decade, 1901-11, witnessed a very rapid change in the scope of the work. Free Hand Drawing was given a more important place. Courses in Domestic Science and Art for tlie girls, and Mechanical Drawing and Shop Work for the boys were added. A strong two year course in all these is now offered, while a year's industrial work is required for graduation. In 1909, a Normal Training Course for prospective teachers was added. All these extensions and the increased enroll- ment called for more room. Already the attic and all available basement room was occupied. The Department of Sciences was located in such cramped quarters that the best work was impossible. In 1907 the city voted bonds for the Manual Building. This was occupied in October, 1908 and for a year or two the room was adequate. But the old basement rooms are again occupied and the Free Hand Drawing is compelled to go to the attic. But the end of our growth is not yet. Thus in forty-two years the High School has grown from a school occupying one room and employing one teacher to a school occupying two buildings from cellar to garret, using twenty-si.x rooms and employing twenty-four teachers. Sixteen hundred and ninety-three men and women are on the alumni roll. Scores of these graduates have gone on to the University of Kansas or other higher institutions and have received collegiate degrees. Between 100 and 175 graduates are enrolled each year at K. U. In the last graduating class of the University, of those receiving de- grees, forty were from L. H. S. and twelve of those re- ceiving teachers' diplomas were also from this school. Our most urgent need today is an Assembly Room, that will accommodate 800 or 1000 students. The present en- rollment is 654. The comfortable ( ?) seating capacity of the present assembly is 165. ..•....^^g I THE LAWRENCE PLAYGROUNDS By James Naismith, M. D., Professor of Physical Education, University of Kansas H« (Dr. Naismith is the inventor of the now internati T N the spring of 1912 representatives of the United Broth - erhoods, The Social Service League, The Federated Women's Clubs, The School Board, and the Park Commit- tee of the City Council met and formed an organization for the purpose of equipping and maintaining playgrounds in the city of Lawrence. It was decided to use part of the South Park, on account of its central location and its prox- imity to Quincy school, as the work could be carried on during the school year. A small field near the Y. M. C. A. was equipped for the larger boys and the physical director was given charge of this field. Miss Gladys Elliott was chosen director of the girls' playground. The equipment was inexpensive, but useful. The main part of the funds for the work was obtained from a festival held in the park ! onally famous game of Basketball. — Editorial Note, ] by the school children, just before the close of the school year. In 1913 it was decided to limit the work to girls and boys under ten, as there were other plans for the older boys. By the aid of the School Board five of the school grounds were equipped with apparatus and the Association under- took to maintain directors for these grounds. Miss Eliza- beth Morrow was made Director and with three assistants carried on the work on the five grounds. The work has been recreative and instructive, as many of the cliildren were taught to play games, and to take part in folk dances and sports. The value of organized play for children has been fully demonstrated and the work will be carried on with more vigor ne.xt year. Children at Play in South Park, Lawrence.

There is much that furnishes an excuse — and I cannot deny that it is justly so — for many to seek admission to the court room, in order to witness the battle royal, often fought by opposing legal talent. I can understand why in many cities inclement weather frequently supplies the incentive fur loungers to thus while away the hours, made dreary by rain, storm or snow. As for myself, from recent observations I think that there is a deeper reason back of the more intelligent class of visitors to the court room, to cause them to sit — uncalled — for hours, listening to pitiful or harrowing tales of plain- tiff, defendant and witness. Usually the best talent within the reach of individuals, according to their means, is pitted one against the other in the effort to convince bench and jury, or justice as the case may be, that the case deserves consideration as viewed by one or the other side. It sharp- ens the wits of even an ordinary onlooker to listen to the arguments presented and the method pursued in making out a case or picking it to pieces. Frequently there is cause for laughter, as the risibles are brought into play by some unforeseen jocular remark of witness or clever story, skillfully told by counsel. Then again the instruction to the jury by the bench or a decision for or against one of the opposing counsel by the judge sets the observant mind to thinking. Douglas County is fortunate in not only possessing leaders among the members of the Bench and Bar, but also in supplying opportunities for younger men to rise. While there are those whom fortune has favored sufficiently to en- able them to devote their time largely to other interests, there are others who. like Judge C. A. Smart, of the District Court, devote their entire time to the duties their office calls for, or whose practice as attorneys demands all of their time and their extraordinary talent for cases equal in importance to any in the country. And here follows what is said of some of the members of the bench and bar of Douglas County : — ^.^ »_.._™_.^ _-.._.— «-._.— .M_|g Bisliop. This partnership was continued until March, 191 1, when Mr. Mitchell took his seat in Congress. S. D. Bishop was assistant county attorney for four years, county attor- ney of Douglas County from 1890 to 1894 and mayor of the City of Lawrence from 1908 to 1912. He has been engaged on a number of important law cases, was attorney for Gov- ernor VV. R. Stubbs in the famous mandamus suit, brought by the governor against Attorney General John Dawson in 1910, and was also engaged in the bank guarantee case on behalf of the bankers of the state. Mr. Bishop is recog- nized as a safe and sane leader in Democratic politics. o When I asked an acquaintance to tell me something about Judge Norton, as John Q. A. Norton is popularly known, he answered : "He is a gentleman and a scholar, a good lawyer, broad-minded and ever ready to support move- ments for the advancement of the city. He has lived here so long that I have forgotten when he arrived. If he is not a native, he ought to have been, but don't you forget it, Judge Norton is still a young man. Judge Norton has been practicing law in Lawrence since after the close of the war and was Probate Judge for twenty-six years, retiring from that office thirteen years ago. What more do you want :o know?" And that is all the information I could get, but as my friend said, "that's enough." o "Wm. B. Brownell is that gentleman over there," said my friend, "and he is all serene, as usual." He is a native of New York State and came to Kansas in 1883, after having taken the A. B. degree at Hamilton College, in his home town in the Empire state. In 1886 Mr. Brownell took the L. L. B. degree at the University of Kansas, was admitted to the bar in that year and began the practice of law soon aft- er. In 1890 he accepted a professorship at the Kansas Uni- versity Law School and remained with the institution until 1S98, in which year he was elected to the office of County Attorney of Douglas county. After serving a second term, i\Ir. Brownell again took up the active practice of law and has won a lucrative clientele. o J. H. Mitchell, popularly known as Jim Mitchell, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 21, 1862, and came to Kansas — nolens, volens — in 1867. One can hardly call him an emigrant, because he came here with a senior member of the family who would most likely have overruled any ot little Jim's objections. Those were the days of long ago. Jim Mitchell is a big man now, in the prime of life. J. H. Mitchell has been Probate Judge, holding the office from 1901 until 1907; became City Attorney in May, 1909, and has held the office ever since. In politics he is a Progressive, being one of the leaders in the county and congressional district. o Hugh Means. Senior partner in the firm of Means & Rice, is a native of Douglas County and has lived in or near Lawrence nearly all his life. As a boy he traveled abroad witli his parents and had been given unusual educational ad- vantages before entering the Kansas University Law School from which he received the degree of L. L. B. in 1895. For six years he was Probate Judge and put info operation the Hon. C. A. Smart, Judge of the Fourth Judicial District, is a native of Rock County, Wisconsin, and was educated at Milton, in that state. Coming to Kansas in 1884, he has be- come one of the foremost citizens of Ottawa, Franklin coun- ty, where he has held the offices of city and county attorney. Elected Judge of the Fourth Judicial District in 1900, he has held this office continuously since that date, giving Douglas County, which is part of the District, service for which he has been respected at all times. o Hon. Samuel D. Bishop was born in Iowa in 1864 and graduated from Grinell College in 1887. Later he entered the University of Kansas Law School and was granted the degree of L. L. B. in 1889. In November 1890 he married Martha Jane Russell in Lawrence. Mr. Bishop has practiced law in Lawrence since 1889, when he formed a partnership with Alexander Mitchell under the firm name of Mitchell & -50- juvenile court law in Douglas county in a most satisfactory manner. Outside of his profession his hobby has been mili- tary affairs, winning for himself prominent standing in tht state militia. He began the practice of law here in 1897. From 1903 to 1907 he was a member of the law firm of Barker & Means, and served as Probate Judge of Douglas County from 1907 to 1913. He was married to Francis M. Barker in 1902. Judge Means is at present a member ot the Public Library Board and a Captain in the Kansas National Guard. Raymond F. Rice, 3 native of Ohio, receiv- ed the degree of B. A. from Oberlin College in 1905. He studied law at the University -of Kansas, receiving the degree of L. L. B. in June, 1908. Beginning the practice of law im- mediately, Mr. Rice en- tered the office of Geo. J. Barker, and in 1909 became junior partner in the firm of Barker, Means & Rice. In Janu- ary, 1913, the law firm became known under the name of Means & Rice. Raymond F. Rice is Associate Professor of Law in the Univer- sity of Kansas School of Law, taking tlie place of Prof. W. E. Higgins during the lal- ter's absence in F.uroi)C. And then my friend closed with these w'ords . "The firm of Means &• Rice has two members in it who take their busi- ness seriouslv." Tom Harley rotund, smiling, apparently all man. was staTiding about twenty feet off, when I tried ti) get information about liim that I wanted. I was told that he grad- uated frum the K. U. Law School in 1897 and had practiced in the city of Lawrence ever since. I heard that he was deputy city attorney under W. C. Spang- ler, and that on the latter's death he filled out the unexpired term. "The fact that he held the office of county attorne;. for three terms, from the year 1905 to 1911," my informant said, "should indicate whether Thos. Harley is big enough for any office. He is Republican in politics, but straight." Just what my friend meant I hardly have a right to question as a Democrat, with men in all parties among my friends. —51 Read from left to right, beginning at top; Edward T. Riling; John J. Riling; O. E. Learnard, Jr.; Fred A. Clarke; Harleigh Benson, Police JiUge. Then I sought out Mr. Harley and learned that he was born on a farm in Winnebago county, Illinois, in 1872, moved to Rice county, Kansas, in 1874, because his parents did. And that later he attended first the customary sod-house country school and then Park College, Parkville, Missouri, from 1885 to 1888. Mr. Harley taught school in Rice county from 1889 until 1892, so that I judge him to be qualified to impart knowledge to judge and jury. He was married to Miss Ora B. Ward of Newton, Kansas, in T900. And Totn Junior should prove an ac- ceptable candidate for honors in K. U. o ■ Probate Judge C. E. Lindley is a native of Indiana, having been born in 1866, in which year lie also reached the state of Kansas. His education was acquired at the University of Kansas, where he re- ceived the degree of Ph. D. in 1887, and L. L. B. in 1895. Duly admitted to the Bar in the State of Kansas, in 1895, he later also became a member of the Missouri Bar and has successful- ly practiced or held of- fice in this city since 1895. From 1903 to 1905 he was City At- torney and again held that office from 1907 to 1909. Judge Lindley was elected to his pres- ent office in November, 1912. While city at- torney he conducted some iinportant litiga- tion in the Supreme Court, among others the Rhode Island Street paving case, involving itnportant legal points with reference to pav- ing. He also ably as- sisted in the University bond case. Judge Lind- ley's experience is ex- tensive in cases involv- ing municipal corpora- t i o n, administration, real estate and corpor- ation law. o County Attorney J. S. Amick was born on December 17th, 1879, in the state of Missouri and came to Kansas at the age of three, locating at Edgerton. Then he went to Wellington to await the opening of the Cherokee Strip with his father who took a claiin. His early education up to the eighth grade was received at Wellington. After that he at- tended High Sdiool and later taught three terms in a coun- try school. Mr. Amick is a graduate of the Kansas Univcr- sity Law School, taking his parchment in iQOp, in which year lie was not only achiiitted to the Bar, but also became a bene- dict, taking as his life's partner Miss Lotta Bryan on July sixth of that year. In 1911 the Northwestern Insurance Agency was placed in liis hands and he has been successful along that line. In 1912 he was elected county attorney and has since devoted his time to the duties of that office, plac- ing competent help in charge of his insurance business. o Harleigh Benson was born in Dublin, Indiana, attend.xl the Lawrence public schools and later the University of Kah- sas, where he received his L. L. B. degree. In April, iQii. Mr. Benson was elected to the office of Police Judge, and was re-elected for a second term this year. .^\side from his duties as Police Judge Mr. Benson maintains an office for the practice of law. o R. E. Melvin is a native of the Buckeye State. He came to Kansas in 1870, settling in Lawrence in 1873. He attended the public schools here and later the University of Kansas, where he received his L. L. B. degree. He began the prac- tice of law in 1894 in this city and has continued active in his profession since. Mr. Melvin is a member of the Alpha Nu Cliapter and of the Beta Theta Pi; he is affiliated with the I. (). (). F. lodge and is a 32nd degree Mason, as. well as a member of the Congregational Church. "Risen from thf ranks by self exertion," I was told, would properly apply to R. E. Melvin, "because he had made his own way, so tJ speak. And he has acquired the reputation of fighting a case to a finish and winning out in important litigation.'' o Carl A. Neibling was born in Hiawatha, Kansas, attend- ed the Atchison County High School at Effingham, Kansas, and later the University of Kansas, where he took his L. L. B. degree. Admitted to the Bar in July, 1913, Mr. N'eibling continues to attend the University of Kansas for special study, although he has opened an office in this city for tlie practice of law. o Aboard a train to Kansas City one day I heard someone address a fellow traveler with these words : "Hello Judge, where are you going?" It so happened that the party, thiis addressed, asked me to' let him look at my copy of the Jour- nal-World a moment after he was again alone and in due time I found out that Judge L. H. Menger belonged to Law- rence. It was not difficult therefore to learn in the Court Room that this native of this city had graduated from the Law School of the Lfniversity of Kansas in 1896, had held the otTice of Police Judge from May 1903. to May 1911, four terms, had made his home here since he arrived in the city, and since 1901 had devoted his time to a large extent to in- terests divided between law practice and the real estate busi- ness. J. B. Wilson was born in 1879. on a farm near Perry, Jefferson county. Kansas. Bcgimiing with a common school education in the school at Perry, where he received a county diploma at the age of thirteen, he studied and worked for honors, .\fter spending five years on his father's farm he came to Lawrence in September, 1S97, and entered the High School from which he graduated in June, 1900, after doing four years of high school work in three. Entering the Uni- versity of Kansas, college course, in September, igoo, he re- ceived the A. B. degree in June 1904. He tlien taught Ameri- can History and Government in the Lawrence High Schojl for three years and during the following two years was sup- erintendent of schools at Lecompton in this county. His University studies brought him the distinction of being a perfect grade pupil on every subject, notwithstanding the fact that he earned his own expense money while in school. Mj' informant thought; "that was going some." Retiring from his activities as a teacher, Mr. Wilson engaged in the insur- ance business for a short time as the full partner of E. L. Charlton, continuing private efforts at the study of law. After spending some time in Kansas University law school in the school year of 1910 to 1911, he was admitted to the prac- tice of law by the Supreme Court of Kansas in January, 1911. Mr. Wilson then established an office in Lawrence and was elected to the office of Justice of the Peace in the fall of 1912. He married Miss Eva Barrett in March, 1905. B. V. Pardee was born near Baldwin, Douglas county, Kansas, on February 14, 1882, graduated in stenography and bookkeeping from the Lawrence Business College in 1903, and in 1912, took the L. L. B. degree at the University of Kansas. Admitted to the Kansas State Bar in June, 1911', he soon after began the practice of law in LawTence. In September, 1913, Mr. Pardee was elected Clerk for the Board of Education of the city of Lawrence by the members of the Board and accepted the office which does not interfere with his regular practice in his profession. o ■ Walter G. Thiele was born at Washington. Kansas, in 1S85, and grew up in his home town. After attending public and high schools, he taught school for foiir years stud3'ing law and acquiring a knowledge of the abstract business, before coming to Lawrence to attend the Law School of the University. While attending the law school he was employ- ed in the abstract office of Geo. A. Banks & Son. Graduat- ing from the University in 1910, Mr. Thiele entered the of- fice of John Q. A. Norton in May 1910 and has been with him ever since. He was admitted to the bar in June, 1910. I\fr. Thiele is reputed to have made a specialty of real estate law, abstracts of title and e.xaraination thereof. He was married to Miss Maude L. Baker, formerly of Washington county, in 1911. Mr. Thiele is a Mason and a member of the Acacia Fraternity and also a member of the Phi Delta Phi. o Rollin M. Perkins, I was told, had recently returned from Europe, adding the experience of travel as a broadening in- fluence to the equipment acquired in school. Mr. Perkruo. studied law at Leland Stanford, Jr., University, Palo Alto, California, receiving the degree of J. D. (Juris Doctor), after having received the A. B. degree at the University of Kansas. Admitted to the California Bar in May, 1912, he was also admitted to the State Bar of Kansas in July, 1913, and recently after his return from Europe opened offices in the new Perkins Building and began the practice of law. Mr. Perkins is a native of the city of Lawrence. o Edward T. Riling was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, on November 15, 1875. In due time he spent four years at St. Benedict's College, .Atchison, and then for a period of four years, went back to the farm that had been in the family since 1854, when his father took up the claim. In 1898 he went to the University of his native state in Lawrence, receiving the degree of L. L. I!, in 1900. He was admitted to the Bar in the same year and became a member of the Lower House, when the Legislature convened. This was an unusual honor, for he had received the Republican nomination before he graduated from K. U. and was elected shortly after. It is said of him — and supposedly without contradiction — that he was the youngest member of the State Legislature on record. In 1903 he took the office of County Judge, until 1905 whevi the office was abolished and Mr. Riling resumed the practice of law. In 1910 he was nominated and elected to the office of Count}- Attorney and held that office during 191 1 and I j ! ''ONE OF TWO OF THE BEST SMALL TOWN I DAILY PAPERS IN THE UNITED STATES" L\ST year wlicii a representative of Tin; Jolrnal- WoKi.i) called at the office of VViii. C. Jolinson, I if ICIkhart. Iiul., the advertising agent who for Jg ,1 third of a centnry has placed advertising iti practically every paper in the civilized world, Mr. Johnson rose from his seat, and extending his hand, said : — -"I know The Journal-World very well and in my judgment it is one of two of the best small town dailies in the United States." If The -Journal World is a good paper, it is because 'ts publishers are continually trying to make it better and be- cause the people of Lawrence and the surrounding country appreciate their efforts. The Journal-World is the oldest paper in Kansas, al- though there have been a number of changes in the name. It is a member of the Associated Press and has one of the best equipped job printing and book binding plants in the state. Its press room equipment includes a Duplex perfecting newspaper press, two cylinder book presses and three job- bers and outlit for casting rollers. The basement is 25 k 117 feet, with a glass frontage on the alley and this room, the size of an ordinary .storeroom, is completely tilled witli presses, print paper in rolls and the mailing room. The front part of the llrst lloor is occupieil by the counting room and news room ; in the center is the slock room and automatic paper cutter; next comes the battery of linotypes and in the rear is the composing room. The second floor is occupied entirely by the book bind- ing and blank book department with the exception of the editorial room. Each machine throughout the plant has its individual motor, which admits of the greatest efficiency. The ideals of The Journ.\l-World are high. It desires to assist in the upbuilding of the city, county, and state, with especial interest in the educational institutions of Lawrence, which include the public scliools, the University of Kansas, Haskell Institute and the Lawrence Business College. It is the desire of the pulilishers to give the news, bui not to enlarge upon that which is "yellow" and therefore inimical to the interests of the home. Thk Journal-World is essentially the family paper in a community where the moral standards are high, where religious institutions flour- ish and where law-breakers are few. If the etTorts of the publishers have in any way assisted in the moral, spiritual and business welfare of the commun- ity, they feel well repaid for the days and nights of hard service that have been necessary to make The Journal- World wdiat it is. 1912. "He was a vigorous prosecutor," I was told, "and he has made some enemies." But continued my informant, "I wouldn't think much of the man who wasn't strong enough, to make a few enemies, as well as to surround himself witn a bunch of friends, as Ed has." In June, 1913, John J. Ril- ing became associated with his brother and since then the firm has been known as Riling &: Riling, with Edward T. Riling as the senior partner. o John J. Riling was born in Leavenworth, this state, and has always been a resident of Kansas. He received his edu- cation at the Lawrence High School and at the Kansas State University, receiving from the latter the degree of L. L. B. in 1910. He has been engaged in the practice of law since that time and has held the olTice of deputy county attorney for two years. Mr. Riling is one of the younger men, tak- ing an interest in the active practice of his profession, and since June has been the junior member of the firm of Riling & Riling. o O. G. Richards, a native of Michigan, where he was born on January 12, 1836, came from Illinois to Topeka and then to Douglas county in 1856. He was admitted to the Bar of this county in 1868, had previously held office in Eudora, where he has lived ever since he located in this county and was a mendier of the House of Representatives of the state of Kansas in 1879 and 1880. Judge Richards, as he is popu- larly known, has held every office in his home town up to that of mayor and is at present city attorney. He served with James H. Lane and John Brown at the battle of Fort Tittus and the capture of Fort Saunders, and to the end of the border ruffian war. Aside from the practice of law, he devotes considerable time to the real estate, loan and insurance business, having associated with him in that end of the work his son, Charles F. Richards. Judge Rich- ards is a member of the I. O. O. F. and the Masonic lodges, having been affiliated with these bodies since 1869. o Mrs. Mina Perky Dias, a native of Ohio, came to Kan- sas in 1880, with her parents who settled in Lawrence. Edu- cated in the public schools of this city, Mrs. Dias later at- tended the State University, receiving the L. L. B. degree from tlie Law School of the state's foremost institution of learning, in 1896. To her fell the distinction of graduating with highest grades in a class of forty, of whom but two were women. She was admitted to the Bar soon after and spent four years in the office of the late Judge George J. Barker and held a clerkship in the Speaker's office during Judge Barker's term as Speaker of the House of Represen- tatives. Before studying law Mrs. Dias was a teacher and had held the office of Principal of the Eudora Public School for four years. On October 11, 1913, Mrs. Dias was admit- ted to practice in the Supreme Court, and on October 28, 1913, she received the appointment as Pension Attorney. o ■ O. E. Learnard, Jr., popularly known to his friends as Oscar Learnard, was born and reared in Douglas County. Went to Kansas University and Cambridge, Massachusetts. lie took his L. L. B. degree in Albany, N. ^'., where he went three years. Duly admitted to the bar, he began the practic; of law here and was elected County Judge for the term of i(X>2 and 1903, serving creditably. Later he went to Okla- homa, but returned to Lawrence on account of the illness au'i subsequent death of his father, the late Colonel O. E. Lear- nard, Sr. Since then Judge Learnard has imiiroved the fam- ily estate, making the home place a model dairy farm and has also reopened the Hotel Fairfax, but still follows the prac- tice of law as occasion demands. -53- Eusiness Men of Lawrence Believe in Modern Methods 1-— Residence and Greenhouses of A.

In 1861 Congress set apart and reserved for the use and support of a state universitv seventy-t\yo sections of land. The University of Kansas, therefore, is a land grant college in the original sense of the term, and owes its first support to the Federal Government. In 1863 Lawrence was selected hy the legislature as the loca- tion for the University of Kansas and the University was organized under an act of the legislature in 1864. The first meeting of the Board of Regents was held March 21, 186;, and the University was opened for work on September 12, 1866 with three members of the faculty and fifty-five students. There are now nearly 200 members of the faculty and about 2,700 students. There was then one building. There are now twenty-two. The University of Kansas has three great functions : First the teaching function, by which it undertakes to give to all that come to it and all that it may reach through it.> University E.xtension correct and detailed information about the world in which we live. Second the research function, by which tlie University undertakes to do its part in enlarg- ing the field of knowledge and increasing the efficiency of the race. Third the public service function, by which it un- dertakes to make itself of practical use along every line of industry and endeavor coming within its scope. It regards the first of these as the most important, for the teaching function is fundamental in every institution of learning and it is througli this function that what the race has learned in tlie past is hamkd down to succeeding genera- tions. It regards the second as a matter of great import- ance, for it is of prime necessity that the bounds of knowl- edge be increased, that new discoveries be made and new ap- plications of old laws be ascertained in order that wealth may be increased and the comfort, public health and morals of the people enlarged. It regards the third function as also of great importance. It believes that the knowledge gained at the University should, so far as possible, be placed at the disposal of the citizens of the state in their organized capaci- ties and that the University should be useful to all citizens. For instance it undertakes to give those who can not spend the time to live in Lawrence an opportunity of doing Uni- versity work and nearly 1,220 men and women scattered over Kansas are now doing correspondence work under the di- rection of the University. The public service work of the University it is estimated touches 50,000 people each year and costs nearly $50,000 per year. Kansas has more students of college grade, according to population than any other state in the Union and edu- cates more in its University and Agricultural College than almost any other state in the Union. If Illinois educated as many residents of university age in its university and agricul- tural college as Kansas does, according to population, it would have had, in 1911-12, 15,000 instead of 3,500. Most of the great scientific discoveries of the past fifty years have come out of the college laboratory. Besides the three functions already reTerred to the Uni- versity of Kansas has established high school visitation that has had more effect than any other factor in the high devel- opment of secondary education in Kansas. It has intro- duced a bureau of recommendation of teachers. It has led in making entrance requirements to colleges more flexible. It has undertaken the visitation and affiliation of colleges so that all the institutions in the state might work together to the common good. It has granted fellowships to graduates of Kansas colleges. Its standing and prestige is shown by the large number of fellowships and scholarships offered its graduates by other institutions in the country of the highest rank. It is one of the twenty-two members of the stand- ard Association of American Universities, out of a total 500 colleges and universities in America. SOUTH PARK, LAWRENCE, KANSAS.

ENEDTHEF^AMEOFLAWRENCEINDUSTRIES 1 ! JOIiN HERMAXX came lo Lawrence about 35 years . ago and bought two lots at the corner of Tennessee ami Warren streets, whicli was tlien a ravine with aliiiut enough high ground to give room for the erec- tion of a shack about fifteen feet square. Tlie origi- nal colhir factory was started in this h'ttle buihhng, ])nt with abih'ty as a first class col- lar maker, industry and strict attention to business he gradually rose until his factory now covers a space of Ii/XTOO feet, his Iiand- some residence adjoining at the corner. The collar fac- tory is one of the largest west of the Mississippi River. Jolin I lermann'.s hobbj' is that every colla"- that leaves his factory shall be as near perfect as mod- ern machinery can make ir and the continued growth of the business is proof" that the large list of cus- tomers finds satisfaction in his product. The very best stock .goes into the linishcd product. A force of about thirty skilled worknu-ii is constantly eiuployed in supplying the demands of llu trade. Many of these workmen have been with Mr. Her- mann for years and take as much interest in the success and reputation of the business as the proprietnr himself. That Mr. Hermann believes in Lawrence and its future is shown in the construction of a modern bakery with residence flat above built by him a few years a,go for the Gillham bakery. Besides giving employ- ment to a large number oi men the collar fai^tory has been a source of income to farmers who have supplied it with rye straw. It has not always been smooth sailing, for compe- tition has been merciless, but the high character of the Hermann collars has won for them a permanent HERMANN'S COLLAR FACTORY P^^^ce with western dealer.s.

I I THE SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS B\ Dean Charles S. Skilton ^Q ! I .a THE School of Fine Arts was formally established in 1891, developing from the Department of Music which had been organized in 1S77, in- struction in nnisic having been given since 186/. The first Dean of the school was William Mac- Donald, now Professor of History at Brown University, who served from 1884 to i88g. He was followed by George V>. Penny, now Dean of the School of Fine Arts at the Univer- sity of Rochester, from iSS') to 1903, when the present Dean, I'harlcs S. Skilton, began to serve. Tlie school consists of the departments of Music and Drawing and Painting and the University grants the bache- lor's degree in those subjects to students who complete the fciur year course, also a teacher's certificate for completion of a two year course. A two year course in Expression was maintained for several years under the direction of Gertruda Mossier, but upon her resignation it was transferred to the department of Public Speaking in the College of Liberal Arts. The four year course in music includes piano, organ, voice and violin: the two year course the same subjects with the addition of Public School Music, a course which equips students for the position of supervisor 'of music in public schools, and is at present the only course of the kind offered by any educational institution in the state. Graduates of these courses are in constant demand as teachers and may be found not only in the state, but widely scattered through the country as concert pianists, church organists, supervisors of music, heads of departments of music and painting, and pri- vate teachers. Musical organizations under the direction of the School of Fine Arts are the University Orchestra, the University Band, the Men's Glee Club, the Girls' Glee Club, the Vesper Chorus and the Fine Arts Opera. A concert course of eight artist concerts and a Music Festival with symphony orchestra and noted soloists have been given for ten years. At these festivals many important orchestral and choral works have been performed and three original compositions in large forms have been presented by members of the h'inc Arts faculty; a Concert Piece for Piano and Orchestra by Professor Carl A. Preycr, an Overture "Mt. Oread" and a Symphonic Poem "A Carolina Legend" by Dean C. S. Skilton. Members of tho faculty who have appeared as soloists witli the symphony or- chestra are Professor Preyer, Miss Harriet Greisinger, Miss Maude Cooke, pianists, Professor C. Edward Htdiach, tenor, Mrs. Blanche Lyons, soprano, and Professor Wort Morse, violinist. Of equal importance is the annual Exhibition of Paint- ings also given for the past ten years under the direction of William A. Griff^ith, Professor of Drawing and Painting, at which masterpieces of painting, etching and engraving have been presented. There are also occasional exhibitions of other forms of art. whi!e the studios on the top floor of the Administration Building enjoy the best lighting and equip- ment. Mention must also be made of the attention given to orchestral and ensemble music. Piano, voice and violin stu- dents have the opportunity of performing with orchestral ac- companiment, while two string quartets are maintained, to which other orchestral instruments may be added for any desired combination. Voice students have also abundant op- portunity to take part in chorus, church choir and opera. The work of the school thus covers a wide field and ofTers op- portunities for students in all branches of music and paint- ing. COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES By Emil Held ¥ N the University of Kansas, as in practically all Ameri- *■ can universities, the college of liberal arts and sciences was the original part of the University. It still remains the core and foundation of the institution. Upon its work is based all of the graduate work of the institution and much of the advanced research work is done by the members of the fac- idty of the College. Much of the professional work also i? based upon college instruction. For entrance to the School of Law one year of college work is required. I"or entrance to the School of Medicine two years of college work are re- quired. For entrance to the School of Education two years of college work are required and it is probable that all pro fessional work eventually will be based upon preparatory college work. Tlie College of Liberal Arts is designed to give a general education that will fit men and women for living, that will make tliem efficient and trustworthy mem- bers of the community, that will give them broad interests in life and develop a broad culture. The College, liowevcr, differentiates its work sufficiently to give point to its in- struction. A graduate of the College may come out well trained to begin a business course. He may have a well grounded knowledge of economics and sociology and ruiance, so tliat he may judge accurately in regard to the many puli- lic questions now arousing interest. At the University of Kansas the College of Liberal .XTt."; has more than kept pace in growth with the other depart- ments of tlie institution. The enrollment in the Co'degc of Liberal Arts now reaches over 1,400 and what is remarkable the enrollment is generally evenly divided between men and women, the men exceeding the women in number for the present year. In many universities the college of liberal arts has been largely given over to women. Much of the advanced graduate work of the institution is done by mem- bers of the faculty of the College of Liberal .Arts. —61- i I WHILE OTHER CITIES SUFFERED FOR LACK j I OF WATER THIS YEAR, LAWRENCE HAD | I PLENTY FROM THE LAWRENCE WATER CO. I THE city of Lawrence secured its first waterworks system, when in 1886 a contract was signed with Messrs. Come- gys & Lewis for the con- struction of a plant. A few months' later the City Water Company became the holder of this agreement by assign- ment from the original contractors. On the twenty-first day of April 1887 the mayor and council by resolution "ap- proved and accepted the waterworks system as having been constructed and completed in full according to the terms and provisions of the ordinance pro- viding for the same." Through ensuing difficulties The Kan- sas Water and Light Company secured a new franchise in January 1894, suc- ceeding the previous operators. When this company went into the hands of receivers, it was operated by the re- ceivers for several years. Later the original bond-holders assumed control, succeeding under the style "The Lawrence Water Company," in 1905, an earlier organization, known as Lawrence Water Company. The present owners are opera-'- ing under a franchise granted in 1904. Charles F. Street, of New York City, . is president ; Edgar L. Street, of New York City, is vice- president and gen- eral manager ; Frank Sauer, is local man- ager for The Law- rence Water Com- pany, having held this office since KKii. Mr. Sauer is a grad- uate in the most thorough school of experience, having grown up — so to speak — with the plant, ever since the city had one. Mr. Sauer, a native «f New ^'ork City, came to Kansas in 1876 and to Law- rence in 1878. Although the city has outgrown the water plant and extensive improvements are needed to meet the issue, it is evident that under Mr;. Sauer's local management the people of this city have en- joyed service along this line by one of the best waterworks men in the state. FRANK SAUER. Local Manager 1 % 1 ^ P ^ 1 1 h I -''4^^-' r^^^ ik -~ — - 1 ^iZi^^t ^^M|g \ttm y>affij^"" ^ HHHHHHlPi VIEW OF PUMPING STATION Negotiations for ■ the sale of the water works system to the city of Lawrence have been under way for some time and a vote may soon be taken on the matter. The Lawrence Water Company owns the pumping plant at the north end of Indiana Street, and a modern office building, devoted to its own use, at 716 Massachusetts Street; also a distributing system and stand tower on lots on Mount Oread. A por- tion of the tract adjacent to the pump liouse has been sodded and slirubbery planted. The fact that the city of Lawrence has been plentifully supplied with wat- er during the present year, even when the drouth affected other parts of the state to the extent of curtailing the sun- ply or practically eliminating it, is worthy of more than casual mention. The fire demon had no terrors for the citizens of Lawrence that could be ascribed to the possible lack of water. Lawns and flower beds were left to decay in many parts of the country, while Lawrence enjoyed the privilege of sup- plying the needed moisture. Waste was guarded against, however. While other cities had their water needs prescribed for them, the Douglas County scat residents dur- the droutli had all tliey needed. To remedy con- ditions, objected to by tlie proper au- thorities, the man- agement of T h c Lawrence Water C o m p any several months ago made arrangements for the proper purifica- tion of the entire water supply. Since then the water has passed stringent ex- aminations by the authorities througli the University of Kansas laboratories. It is a gratifying fact that the com- pany is meeting the necessary requirements, pending a pos- sible change of ownership to municipal control. The condi- tion of the plant, as reported by the engineers, assigned to the task by the city, is better than anticipated. —62 TWO MEN— "WITH BUT A SINGLE THOUGHT" THE BEST IN THEIR LINE FOR ALL H—..

METCALF elled for a number of years for dilTerent manufacturers and job- bers of implements and vehicles. W. R. Evans, after clerking for seven years in a hardware and im- plement store in Sterling, Kansas, was for five years connected with the Avery Planter Co., now known as the Avery Co., -of Kansas City, Mo. Afterwards he was for twelve years Secretary and Treasurer of the Ferguson Implement Co., of Kansas City, Mo. These are the men who, with their wives as business partners formed in 1908, the corporation now known as the Evans-MetcaU Company, succeeding the Be!l-Met- calf Implement Co., which was in- corporated in 1907. They have W. R. EVANS HOME OF THE EVANS-METCALF COMPANY since then enjoyed a success- ful business. J. C. Metcalf is President and W. R. Evans is Secretary and Treasurer of the company. Occupying the two- story double building original- ly erected by G. R. Gould in 1883, the Evans-Metcalf Company is recognized as the oldest establish- ed implement and vehicle concern in Lawrence, but with an eye single to a growing clientele they have kept pace with the progress of the times and are ever ready to serve tlieir patrons to the best of their ability. Among the leaders, carried in stock by this establish- ment are Oliver plows and culti- vators, Mitchell -wagons, Staver buggies, Stickney gasoline engines, DcLaval cream separators. White sewing machines. Caloric fireless stoves. They also carry a staple line of hardware. Both are from Missouri and glad to "show you." IN THE JEWELRY BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS A.

Y., at the age of 15, he became an apprentice in the watch and jewelry business of David frager, who had started here in 1857. .Xfter serving four years, Mr. Marks con- tinued to work for his employer another eight months, and then became a partner of the firm, which became known as Prager & Marks.

The moral tone of the early citizenship has not in the least abated with the advancement of this great commonwealth which has produced men and women who have won high places not only in the state, but throughout the United States and in foreign lands. Farming and stock raising was the occupation of the ear'y settlers and continues to be the mainstay of Douglas county's population. It is true that the simple tilling of tlie land of the pioneers has been changed into methods as di- versified as the products are today. Where once the wheat and corn farmer took from the soil on unlimited acreage all that it produced in the easiest way, today the agriculturist and horticulturist is not an uncommon name applied to the Douglas county farmer. The stockmen, too, have advanced and Douglas county stands among the leaders in the produc- tion of pure bred, prize-winning stock of every kind. Since the common call for improvement of roadways has made itself felt throughout the country, the citizens who till the soil of the county of Douglas have participated in ev- ery movement for the betterment of the roads that lead to market. Lawrence, the count}' seat, has become the natural distributing point for her farmer neighbors. The railroads have helped to some extent to bring other markets' closer in touch with the productiveness of the county and due ad- \-antage has been taken of this fact, whenever possible. Much is expected from interurban railroad development to come. Smaller towns have sprung up and have been developed, tak- ing care in a manner of the vegetables and small fruits grown close by. \Vhile the county has prospered, the moral and aesthetic welfare of its citizens has advanced with the oncoming years. The citizens of Douglas county first and always since then have built with an eye single to the future and the benefits to be derived by later generations. Look back half a century and watch one of the oldest citizens now, but then a young man, plant trees that were destined to prove not only a source of satisfaction to himself, but a wonder of nature's beauty to be admired by all. In the far westerr. states they make much of everything beautiful. W. R. Barnes must have had that in mind, w-hen he some fifty years ago planted the "Pine Walk," shown in another page of this edition. Today it stands as an example of the solid- ity of the citizenship that made Douglas county their home years ago. It is only one instance in many, where the significance of the high moral standard has made itself thus apparent in the prosperity that now is with us. If ever there was a state deserving of all that is good and true in reports that arc far-reaching in influence and widespread in circulation, that state is Kansas. If ever there was a county in which hon- esty, integrity, industry and stalwart citizenship has found and received its just due, that county is Douglas county, Kansas. After an inspection of the pages in this edition all will admit that Kansas, as exemplified in Douglas county. produces only the best, be that applied to the men and women reared here, be it relating to the youth who seek its educa- tional advantages, though born and reared in other states, or be it the products of the farm or factory. The wonderful resources of Douglas county were strik- ingly tabulated in the issue of the Lawrence Daily Journal- World, dated October 23, 1913, but deserve re-iteration m fact and figures here. These prove conclusively that the 25,- 000 inhabitants of Lawrence and Douglas county have over $10,000,000.00 to spend as they see fit, or an average of more than $400.00 for every man, woman and child in the county, and all of this in spite of the midsummer drouth heralded in many parts of the United States as the cause of ruin in the state of Kansas. The tabulation is so simple and to the point, as prepared by the publishers of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, that I repeat their figures here, as plainly showing the source of income for the above mentioned total : "Value of old corn on hand March 1st, 1913 $ 1,838,251 Value of wheat on hand March 1st, 1913 22,864 Butter 91,282 Milk and Cream 138,210 Poultry 137,562 Hay 318,750 Fatted animals l . . . . 635,485 Wheat raised in 1913 600,000 Potatoes 200,000 Garden Truck and Fruit Marketed 100,000 Wool, honey, etc 10,000 ■Value of corn, forage and other farm products not enumerated 878,865 Manufactured products 1,277,470 Appropriated by Kansas for State University 589,481 Estimated amount spent in Lawrence by students 1,000,000 Federal appropriation for Haskell Institute 160,000 Wages of railway employes 200,00c Salaries paid to Commercial Travelers 450,000 ■Value of farm products grown and consumed at home 1,000,000 Pensions, Government employes, interest on in- vestments, insurance, etc 500,000 $10,148,220 Add to the above figures the fact that on farms, unlim't • ed in number, improvements have been going on during the past several months and are still being continued that mean not only better facilities for the handling of stock or thj cultivation of the soil, but modern conveniences in farm homes away from the usual source of supply for such facili- ties. Look back fifty years and see the rolling prairies, with their numberless sod houses, only gradually supplanted by the log or timbered home ; then wander out a few miles from the county seat or for that matter from any town in the county and observe the latest construction and interior fittings in home and barns as well. Take note of the individual electric generating plant found here and there on a farm whose own- er has advanced even further than his neighbor.

"Sutton Farms," meet Charles E. (Charlie) Sutton, when he is at home, and find reason for his success and leadership as a breeder of prize-winning stock. Then go out to a farm like that of Stiner Brothers and have it brought home to you by W. R. Stiner that in the cemented basement of their large storage barn is a store room for 4,000 bushels of potatoes, a product in which they deal largely, and learn that this muy be considered one of the most practical buildings of the kind. Realize that this firm handles fine seed stock and that Mr. Stiner in addition is a large distributer of potatoes that arc shipped in in car load lots from the Red River Valley of North Dakota, and then become convinced that the farmer of Douglas county is more than an ordinary tiller of the soil. Look in another direction from Lawrence now and find farm after farm in the highest state of cultivation, as each and every one shown in this edition is, and pass along the roads South-eastward, where you will find the place, of which Prof. Crabtree of the Kansas Agricultural College spoke as "an ideal farm"' in an article from his pen which appeared some months ago in one of the leading farm jour- nals of the central west. L. D. Howard is the owner who in- herited this farm from his father who secured it in the early days of pioneer settlement. Mr. Howard has brought the standard up to where it deserved such mention from an ex- pert. His neighbors are all advanced farmers. Take for in- stance Rev. M. B. Brownlee, retired from the ministry, who has found a few miles south of the city the ways and the means to develop a property with eggs, poultry and butter that satisfies an exacting patronage. Go farther and find the neighbors all around Vinland, even for miles, as I have done, speak of one man, like Geo. E. Smith, as the man who has made a farm pay a good profit in a few years. Mr. Smith has had his property barely seven years. It seems to be the special virtue of Douglas county people to speak kind- ly of their neighbors, as is evidenced in their remarks about Geo. E. Smith. Possibly it is because intelligent farming pays everybody a profit in Douglas county that each has a good word for the other. The schools and the social life have not been neglected. The churches have not suffered the hard struggle, so commonly found in many farming re- gions. In Grant Township prosperity has crowned the efforts of the farmer. More than that the farmer has reciprocated by making his own surroundings pleasant and convenient. Ele- gant drive-ways are not uncommon as will be seen from the picture, showing the "Maple Hill Farm," owned by Mrs. Geo. E. Young. Fred G. Laptad, owner of the Laptad Stock Farm helps to maintain the record of Douglas county in the breeding of stock of the prize-winning class. Just East of the city limits on Banks Street is found beautiful "OrBun dale," owned by Geo. A. Orr, who has on a limited number of acres given evidence of intensive farming success. It is impossible to enumerate in detail each and every farm that reflects credit upon the great county of Douglas. Be it suf- ficient to state that only a few of the many are shown in these pages with such data as will guide the prospective in- vestor truthfully to the manifold advantages found in a lo- cation here. Add to this the fact that young men like W. B. Dalton, almost on city lots, can come to the front here as owners of prize-winners and be convinced that Douglas coun- ty has room for others. It used to be said that a country of pioneers would re- quire the life and strength of later generations to bring it up to the level of the modern march of progress. If this be true elsewhere, in Douglas county proof to the contrary is easily obtained. The parent pioneer, in many cases still sur- viving, has brought the old homestead up to modern stand- ards. He has kept pace with information giving suggestions for improvements that facilitate the work at hand, and also make the home life more attractive. In Douglas county the youthful farmer son stays at home to become heir apparent to a property constantly increasing in value. It is thus that the year 1913 found city and country in Douglas county largely in favor of the proposed new bridge over the Kaw River at Lawrence, Kansas. True, it developed some oppo- - 60 - sition, but this came not from the man who fully realized the need of a better approach to the county seat, both for the sake of him who drives to town and for the sake of meeting fundamental requirements to encourage greater development. Through the courtesy of the consulting engineers, engaged by the county authorities, Messrs. Hedrick & Cochrane, of Kansas City, it was possible to make from suitable drawings a halftone engraving of the proposed new bridge which niny find no objections on account of the possibility of hemmed- in waters. It is proposed to make the new bridge a model, botli from the standpoint of construction and appearance. It is to be built of reinforced concrete, which is much more last- ing than steel and is much less expensive to maintain. Thus while the first cost will be somewhat more than for a steel bridge, the cost in the end will be much less. A reinforced concrete bridge has also a better appearance than a steel bridge, an arch structure like this having an especi- ally pleasing appearance. As planned, the roadwaj- will be thirty feet wide be- tween curbs and there will be two sidewalks each four feet six inches wide in the clear. The roadway will be paved with brick or oth- er material. The structure will be designed to take care of the heaviest traffc, and the piers will be found- ed on solid rock, so that the structure will be en- tirely safe from floods. It is planned to make the structure about 1200 feet long, thus providing con- siderably more waterway than the present structure. The old bridge is pro- nounced by expert engi- neers as rapidly approach- ing an unsafe condition, and it is hoped there will be no undue delay in begin- ning the construction of the new bridge. Many bridge build- ers are interested in the opportunity of showing to the proper officials their facilities in handling the construction work on the proposed new bridge, voted by the people with an eyo single to securing adequate return for the investment. The government of the county must have met more or less with the approval of the people for some time past, in the chair of the Board of County Commissioners sits a man who has been a member of the Board on previous occasions. With him is associated another who has been repeatedly on it by the vote of the people, while the third member also has the confidence of all. To the State Legislature Douglas has also sent some of the best of its material. It is difficult to pass by this op- portunity of referring to some of the county's officials with- out a little reference to them individually. As I enter the Court House on a Monday morning during a regular session of the Board I cannot help but surmise that the people have faith in those who are its members. As I watch others who are serving the people of Douglas County, I cannot help but add that the man with a grouch finds little place in the coun- ty's service. They are as a whole a body of men who strength- en the vitality and the resources of one of the most prosper- ous of the state's counties. Below follows my impression of some of those with whom I came in contact, supplemented by information gathered from reliable sources : o A Missourian by birth, Gus H. Brune came to Kansas in 1866 as a boy. Upon completion of his school term Mr. Brune remained on the farm and in due time devoted his energies to farming and stock raising. With him it has been a record of success that brooked no obstacles. When a man has lost a small fortune in a disastrous flood in 1903, like Mr. Brune did, and succeeds in rebuilding his assets in one decade, he must be given credit of being one of the enter- prising men of the county. This is the kind of effort that has placed the Chairman of the Board of County Commis- sioners in a position of being recognized as one of the most substantial farmers of the county. Sheep has been added to other stock for which Mr. Brune finds a market. Seventeen hundred head are now on his farm. Varied as the resources of Douglas County are, this herd of sheep proved a sur- prise to me. Mr. Brune has been township trustee and has also held the office of Justice of the Peace there. In August, 1904, he was appointed a member of the Board of County Commissioners and elected for a full term in the fall of that year. In 191 1, up- on the death of Mr. Mc- Clelland he was again ap- pointed and elected for the full term in 1912. When the Board organized in January, 1913, the honors of the office of the Chair- man of the Board fell to him. Mr. Brune owns farms on both sides of the river and he built under contract the levee North of the city, which is intended for the protection of Grant Township from floods. o • John C. Walton, senior member of the Board of Countv Commissioners, is a native of Indiana, where he was educated in the city of Indianapolis. Coming to Kansas in 1866, he followed mercantile and hotel occupations until he retired from active business. During his first decade as a citizen 01 Lawrence he was a member of the city council for some time. In 1878 he first became a member of the Board of County Commissioners. In 1879, he again took that office and held it consecutively until 1885. From 1888 until 1892 Mr. Wal- ton was County Treasurer. In 1905, he was appointed a member of the Board of County Commissioners to fill a va- cancy and has held the office ever since. Mr. Walton is an old soldier, a man of ability and of excellent judgment. Do- ing his duty unswervingly John C. Walton has always been able to show the necessity for his action and therefore makes and holds friends. Unassuming in every way, this man off- hand gives one the impression of being willing to stand by his guns regardless of public opinion. Integrity however makes such a stand on his part safe for the people. The youngest member of the Board is John L. Hoover, who was born in Douglas' County in 1861. He went to school in district 42 and later was Justice of the Peace and Township Trustee. In November, 1912, he was elected to WHITE SCHOOL, DISTRICT 61.

TOPPING Kepresentati-ve 12th Legislati-ue District his present ofifice, taking up the duties as a member of the Board of County Commissioners in January, 1913. Mr. Hoover makes his home in Marion Township, is a successful farmer and his solidity of character has won for him the reputation of trustworthiness. Thus John L. Hoover is de.=;- tined to hold the friends he has made independent of part}- affiliations, while adding others to his supporters. o Fear was not inscribed in the te.xt books from which Wm. J. Cummings, Jr., acquired some of his learning. That honesty and integrity appear stamped upon the lines of his face is easily accounted for to one who has seen and met the estimable lady who is his mother and other members of the family with which tlie present sheriff of Douglas County claims kinship. \i I were to be asked as to the fitness for public office of any son of that family, I should unqualifiedly answer favorably. But I have also met the man to whom the people of Douglas County have allotted the duties of the Sheriff's office. He spent some twelve years in Kansas City, where he received his schooling, and proba- bly acquired there some of the cosmo- politan snap that now aids him materially as an officer. He went back to the farm, but gained there, if anything, the vigor and energy for which he is respect- ed. Billy Cummings, as he is popularly known, has the reputation of making one of the best sheriffs the county has ever had. In Herman Broeker, the County Clerk, I found the trait, freely accredited to all natives of Germany, that of paying strict attention to his own business, very much in evidence. He was educated in his native country and first came to Kan- sas in 1877. In 1886 Mr. Broeker started in the stove and sheet metal business and continues in that line to the present time. He has held office as member of the City Council two terms of two years each and was untiring in his efforts in that capacity. Elected to the office of County Clerk in 1912, he assumed his duties in January, 1913. Giving close atten- tion to the work of his office, he has acquired the reputation of being accurate and painstaking in conducting the business of Douglas County, as well as accommodating and courteous to all. o DOUGLAS COUNTY GRAIN EXHIBIT IN PEOPLES STATE BANK Born in Tama County, Iowa, in 1856, Chas. E. Moss as a little lad, on the seventeenth day of July i860, while watching hisj father and men cut oats, stepped into the grain in front of the ma- chine, and before ii could be stopped was knocked down bj' the reel. His right leg and arm were almost cut off. The leg had to be amputated in later years. In 1868 the family moved to Missouri, where Mr. Moss grew to man- hood on the farm, at- tending country school until able to teach. For a number of years he taught, saving what he could and by liis own efforts —68- paid his way through college. In 1880 he was elected Coun- ty Assessor of DeKalb County, Missouri, and in the year 1882 became County Clerk, serving in that capacity for eight years. In 1882 he was married to Miss Lucy L. Todd of DeKalb County, Missouri. In 1901, he moved to Baldwin, Douglas County, to educate his children. In 1910 he W^i elected Clerk of the District Court of Douglas County, which position he now holds. Mr. Moss is a faithful servant of the people, but was recently heard to express his appreciation for tlie manner in which he has been honored with office and otherwise in these remarkable words : "The people have been good to me, wherever my lot has been cast." Born in Leavenworth county, fifteen miles from Law- rence, in 1862, the Hon. Benj. E. Wilson received his common school education in Lawrence and later attended the Univer- sity of Kansas. His home is now located nine miles north- west of the city of Lawrence, near Williamstown, where he successfully follows general farming and the fattening of stock for the market. Senator Wilson has held the office of township treasurer and also a membership on the school board of his township. He hag been county commissioner of Jefferson county from the district adjoining Lawrence. In 1912, he was elected to the Upper House of the Kansas State Legislature from the Fifth Senatorial District which includes Douglas county. During the last legislature he was a staunch and effective supporter of the University and was ready at all times to meet his constituents and to render assistance, wherever he could. A man of ability, Senator Wilson has given every indication that the confidence of the people in electing him to his present office was not misplaced. • o In 1867, the Hon. John M. Newlin first came to Lawrence and has made his home here ever since. Two years later Mr. Newlin entered the Indian Service and was connected with it for twelve years, being one of the founders of the indus- trial work in that department. He served seven years as a member of the Board of Education of the city of Lawrence and was always for up to date schools. For six years pasr he has served as a member of the State Legislature, this be- ing his third term, and has always been a leader in the work there. He rendered invaluable service to the University of Kansas in the trying times when appropriations were being made, and was always on the job, smoothing out the troubles and showing the great need of the institution and the import- ance of its work. Mr. Newlin was also active in the effort that prevented the saddling of $100,000.00 on the city of Lawrence in what is known as the University Bond Case. He has never held a lucrative office, but he has always been a foremost citizen, doing his duty whenever he saw anything to do. He has been a stalwart in all moral issues and has ren- dered high grade service, because his heart was in the right place and his instincts were for good citizenship. Mr. New- lin has been engaged in the loan business ever since he lived in the city. o Hon. Jas. R. Topping, is a native of New York, but came to Kansas in 1870 and settled in Kanwaka, where he bought the farm on which he still makes his home. He has bee.i trustee of his township for seventeen years. In 1912, he was elected a member of the House of Representatives of the state of Kansas and has capably fought the battles for Lawrence and the University. As a farmer, he devotes a great deal of time to cattle and hogs. In 1871, he married Miss Mary A. Colman. Of the four children, A. N. Top- ping, a graduate of K. U., is now professor of Electrical En- gineering at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. Charles Topping, the youngest son, is running his father's farm in —69— this county. Clarence J., another son, is connected with the Santa Fe Railroad in California and Frank Topping owns a farm and lives on it, proving that the native Kansan finds satisfaction and prosperity in agriculture. o Dr. H. T. Jones, although born in Indian Territory, comes close to being a native. He was reared here, attended Uni- versity Medical College at Kansas City, graduating in 1899, and began the practice of medicine soon after. Dr. Jones is still a football enthusiast, having at one time himself served as one of the best players on the college team. In 1912 he was elected to the office of Coroner of Douglas County and took up these duties at the beginning of 1913, without inter- fering with his private practice. o S. T. Gillispie, M. D., was bcrn m Hiawatha, Brown county, this state, and graduated from the Illinois School of Pharmacy in 1896, after attending the University of Kansas- In 1900 he graduated from the Rush Medical College, Chi- cago, and began the practice of medicine in that city. Re- turning to Brown county in 1902, he practiced there until he made his residence in Douglas county in 1908. Dr. Gillispie has practiced here ever since and was appointed County Health Officer in 1910, holding the office continuously, with- out interference with his private practice. He is president of the Douglas County Medical Society. C. R. Hawley, Superintendent of County Schools, is a native of Atchison County, Kansas. He attended Lane Uni- versity, also the State Normal School, Emporia. In 1902 he became a teacher in the county schools and served continu- ously until he was elected to his present office in 1910. Mr. Hawley was re-elected in 1912. Having been through the mill, so to speak, he easily found his place as a county official who could see the needs of scholars and teacliers alike. Of A. L. Selig, Commissioner of the Poor, a brief, but correct sketch will be found elsewhere in this issue. Be it sufficient to add that in his capacity as a county official Mr. Selig has added much to the prestige due such an importan! office. The very fact that he has the confidence of all speak.s well for his record. County Attorney J. S. Amick, Probate Judge C. E. Lindley and Justice of the Peace J. B. Wilson have received my attention in the Bench and Bar section. A DOUGLAS COUNTY WINNER ELKHORNS DORA 256879. A. J. C. C.

BO WERSOCK HAS i I ALWAYS BEEN THE RECOGNIZED LEADER i a- LAWRENCE in 1877 was un- der a cloud. There was lit- tle building or improve- ment of any kind going for- ward. The city and county were burdened with debt. Out of five banks, four failed. Business men were discouraged. Wood paved streets had proved a costly experiment, and a street railroad had been junked. A private party had expended a fortune in trying to harness the Kaw River, and having bankrupted himself, the citizens of Lawrence made an effort to take up the work and thej' also failed to com- plete the water power. At this time a young man, who had been in the general merchandise and grain business in Iowa City, Iowa, came to Lawrence. Chas. S. Gleed some years ago wrote : "From the day J. D in Lawrence there was something doing." He restored the wreck of the almost abandoned water power, and in spite of flood and drift and ice maintained it ; increased the ca- pacity of the Douglas County Mills from 100 to 400 barrels a day ; erected the Douglas County Elevator and Warehouses ; built the Lawrence Paper Mill and Iron W^orks, organized the Douglas County Bank, now the Law- rence National, dou- bled the capacity of the Ice Factory, con- structed the first Opera House, and when the Steel Trust bought the plant of the Consolidated Barb Wire Co., he utilized the vacant buildings for the Law- rence Paper Mfg. Co. for manufactur- ing corrugated spe- cialities, etc., now- giving employment to more men than any other Lawrence in- dustry. Notwithstanding all ;his and more Mr. Bowersock was not unmindful of public and social affairs. For more than a third of a century he has been a Trustee of Plymouth Congregational Church, and a member of the "Old and New" Club. He was President of the Lawrence Com- mercial Club for years, and has been President of the Law- rence Clearing House since its organization. Twice mayor of Lawrence, he also served as Representative in the State Legislature, and, upon the death of the late Judge Thatcher, was elected to fill the vacancy in the State Senate. In 1898 he was sent to Washington from the Second Congressional Dis- trict and served four terms, receiving in round numbers 2,000 majority- at his first election, 2,500 the second, 4,000 the third and 6,000 the fourth. While mayor, he was instrumental in relieving Lawrence of the $100,000 bonds which the citizens voted for the University, when the state was poor and the school was in dire need. He went to the State Legislature largely to secure rec- ognition of the Quantrell Raid claims and assisted in securing upwards of $400,000 for deserving victims of that massacre. He was one of the prime movers in securing the location of Haskell Institute at Lawrence and the final payment necessary to secure the HON J. D. BOWERSOCK location for this Government Indian Bowersock landei School was made by Mr. Bowersock. Neither flood nor fire nor tornado more than temporarily checked his enterprises. The great flood of 1903 utterly de- stroyed the Douglas County Mills and wrecked the power plant, and incidentally wiped out more than $100,000 worth of property without insurance. And now a larger mill, and one of the best water power plants in the west, with turbine steam auxiliary, electrically de- veloped, replaces those destroyed by flood. The manufacturing dis- trict of Lawrence w-as in the wake of the tornado of lyti and the paper mill, iron works, ice plant and the flour mills suf- fered largely, but were at once restored better than before. In 1911 the Opera House was destroyed by fire and w-as at once re- placed by the modern, steel reinforced concrete structure, a credit to the builder and to the city. In 1913 the reinforced concrete tube elevators of the Bowersock Mills &. Power Co. were erected, giving the mills a stor- age capacity of upwards THE HOME OF HON. J. D.

Jackman is general manager of and associate in the Bowersock Mills & Power Co. Mr. Irving Hill and Mr. Paul A. Dinsmoor are the active managers of the Lawrence Paper Mfg. Co. These young men deserve credit for results already secured and are fully able and competent to continue building on the foundations laid by J. D. Bowersock. -71— I WILDER BROS. HAVE SPREAD THE CITY'S FAME THROUGH THE i ENTIRE SOUTH AND WEST, WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF SHIRTS j t 4..—, FROM a small beginning in 1S70, when J. Franlv Wilder and Charles E. Wilder came to Lawrence from Troy. N. Y., then recognized as the center of the shirt and collar industry of the United States, The Wilder Bros. Shirt Factory has be- come favorably known throughout the entire south and west, from Florida to Alaska. Whenever and wherever now the name of "Wilder Bros." is mentioned, it at once brings to mind the thought of shirrs, collars and cuffs. To Lawrence this industry has brought fame, just as its sister industries brought it to Troy. In 1882, the firm erected the five story build- ing, shown here, of about 20,000 square feet, and de- voted entirely to manufac- turing purposes and their custom laundry which latter not only takes care of their manufactured output, but al so has won for them a large local, private clientele. Upon the death of Charles E. Wilder in 1899, the busi TIM THE HOME OE WILDER BROS ' SHIRT, COLL^R AND CUFF FACTORY AND CUSTOM LAUNDRY ness was continued under the old firm name by J. Frank Wilder. In connection with the laundry the firm has lately installed one of the most complete and up to date water soft- ener systems in the west, filtering and softening the water for laundry purposes. All water used in the laundry is pumped from their own deep wells by electrically operated pumps. The entire factory and laundry is. operated and lighted by electricity and stands to-day as one of the most coir.- plete plants in the middlewest. The combination of a laundry of as high a stand- ard as theirs with a manu- facturing establishment of the size of Wilder Bros. Shirt Factory has given em- ployment to seventy-five peo- ple on an average, with a pay roll of about $28,000.00 annually, exclusive of the selling force. To the doubting mind the success which has crowned this enterprise will prove conclusively that a manufac- turing industry can advant- ageously be centered in the city of Lawrence. That here, as elsewhere, intelligent ef- fort, constantly meeting th.: requirements of a critical public, helps to build a successful business has been proven by Wilder Bros. Shirt Factory and Custom Laundry. Q .-^H I HENRY BOWMAN'S SUCCESS IN LARGE ! ENTERPRISES ADDS TO INDUSTRIAL j PRESTIGE OF THE CITY OF LAWRENCE j i .

SWEENEY General Treasurer L. D. JOHNSON. M. D. General Medical Examiner "Ft'tW Them and Set Them Up For Ever,'' Through Membership in the Fratermal Aid Association TWEXTY-THREE years ago on October 14, 1890, in a room above the premises at 934 Massachu- setts Street, strangely coincident with the day of the month, fourteen men assembled in response to a circular letter sent out from Lawrence by T. J. Sweeney, Secretary, and Dr. Levi Horner, President of the local bod}' of the Knights of Aurora. These two were there, together with Will T. Walker, Wellington; J. E. Klock, Leavenworth; J. B. Coon, Pittsburg; J. A. Regnell, McPher- son; J. T. Tinder, Parsons; John P. Kilgore, Leavenworth; E. P. Young, Winfield ; J. M. Jennings, Wamego ; John H. Calvin, Topeka ; J. R. Dutton, Wichita ; L E. Sanderson, Pittsburg, and Mr. Embree, of Atchison. All were Kansans, realizing the need of a new organization and meeting it on this occasion with the Fraternal Aid Association. Mr. Walk- er was the first President of the General Council, effective from the above date ; J. E. Klock the first Vice President ; Mr. Kilgore its Treasurer; Dr. Horner, Medical Examiner. This momentous step has resulted in the em- blem of the F. A.

In pursuance with the demand for higher education on the part of the profession of phar- macy and medicine, the school was immediately placed on a University basis, conforming to the curricula adopted by such universities as Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and other well recognized university schools of pharmacy. The school occupies the east end of the large Chemistry and Pharmacy Building. On the first floor, besides the General Stock Room, is the State Drug Laboratory which has grown to be one of the most important factors in state work, co-operating with the State Board of Health and taking an important position in public health and hygiene, in which so much is being done lately all over the United States in connection with the medical departments of uni- versities. On the second floor are found two laboratories and two special research rooms with balance room. On the third floor is located the Drug Store, the Microscopical Room, Museum and Laboratory of Pharmacognosy, the special lecture and recitation rooin for Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, the Dean's office and a research room. On the fourth floor is found the general chemistry lecture room which supplies the demand for all who come under chemical instruction. The west end of the Chemistry and Pharmacy Building is devoted to the chemical labora- tories under the direct supervision of the Chemical Depart- ment. The object of the school is, first, to furnish a thorough practical course of instruction, especially well adapted to the wants of those desiring to become practical retail phar- macists; second, to train students who wish to fit them- selves as pharmaceutical chemists and who desire to become candidates for government positions, and to become chem- ists for manufacturing houses of various sorts, where a thorough knowledge of practical chemistry is required; third, to train those whose aim in life will be to become teachers in Pharmaceutical science. The courses offered extend over two, three and four years and lead respectively to the degrees of Graduate in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Chemist and Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. The graduates of the school, nearly 500 in number, have, for the most part, continued in the field of pharmacy and chemistry and are filling responsible positions as man- agers and proprietors of drug stores and pharmacies, as railroad, packing house, food and drugs and pharmaceu- tical chemists, as professors and deans of Schools of Phar- macy and a goodly number have used their pharmaceutical training as a preparation for the study of medicine.

HOUSE Jacob House started the business at 729 Massachusetts Street, now favorablj' known under the name of J. House & Son. For many years it was conducted under this popular tirni name, Robt. E. House taking an interest with his father in 1899. Purchasing the business in 1908, he has had complete charge of it since that time. The oldest clothing store in Lawrence has supplied the pioneers, their sons and grand- sons with uniform satisfaction at all times. Robt. E. House is a conservative, yet progressive business man, visiting the Eastern markets annually to keep pace with the demands of the public. The store building is also shown in the historic cover design of this issue, having outlived the trying times of half a century ago. Born here, Mr. House fully believes in local investments and proves it by his ownership of three other business blocks on Massachusetts Street. Miss Grace Reyfiolds, Pianist and Teacher STUDYING t h . art of Piano- forte playing under such teachers as E.

Her studio is at 1002 Vermont Street. Miss Rey- nolds opened her studio in July, 1909, soon after graduating from K. U. Her efforts since then have been duly recognized bv those who wanted to give their children a musical education. A SENSE of security prevails today among families whose friends or loved ones go to a hospital for treatment, where in form- er days fear attended such a step. That is equally true of this city, as it is of every other community throughout the country. That the Law- rence Hospital and Training School for Nurses, to most people known as Dr. Jones' Hospital, shares in the public respect for institutions of this character is acknowl- edged. Built in 1903 with a twenty to thirty bed capacity, the hospital had its first op- erative case on January 3. 1904, before the structure was completed. Since that time there have been upwards of fifteen hun- I I ! The Lawrence Hospital and Training \ School for Nurses in its Tenth T^ear ! I OPERATING ROOM. DR.

Since his return from his eighteenth annual visit to Eastern hospitals this fall, he has installed a modern lab- oratory next to the operat- ing room, which is complete in every detail and equipped with the latest appliances for preventing and curing di- sease. Dr. Jones devotes most of his attention to surgery and disease of the stomach, hav- ing just installed a modern X-Ray apparatus as an aid to diagnosing such cases cor- rectly. MYERS HALL ESTABLISHED BY THE CHRISTIAN WOMAN'S BOARD OF MISSIONS, 1901 np HE Woman's Board of Missions of the Christian Church ■*■ established a chair of Biblical instruction at Lawrence for the benefit of University students, April i, 1901. The site adjoins the University campus on Mount Oread. Myers Hall, in which the work of instruction is carried on, has been erected, largely through the untiring efforts of the first oc- cupant of the chair. Professor Wallace C. Payne. The prop- erty is valued at $50,000. Over 2,600 students have availed themselves of the privilege of Biblical instruction during the twelve years of the existence of the work. During the entire time, the instruction was under Professor and Mrs. Payne. The courses of instruction include studies in both the Old and New Testaments, history of missions, great religions of the world, and Hebrew. The privileges are offered to all. —76- The Store Interior of B. G. Gustafson, "The College Jeweler," Appeals to the Eye Artistic On July 7, 1904. Mr. Gustafson bouglu out Mr. Rowe an-l has continued the business in the same location at 911 Massa- chusetts Street since. Apprenticed to his former employer, he was familiar with the business when he bought him out. Students of K. U. and others know him best as Gustafson, "The College Jeweler." With two diplomas from Eastern Optical Colleges he has added to his cMentele many patrons in a professional way. »«[>] THE WORLD FINDS A PLACE FOR CAPA- BLE, HONEST MEN LIKE W. J. BUSCH I GROWTH from a small commission business to a wholesale and re- tail seed, grain and feed business, with a distribution over the central and western states, and from an old store room, 25x60, to a three story and basement building with additional sto'.c room, occupying a frontage of 150 feet on Massachusetts Street, is the remarkable record made by W. J. Busch in the past twelve years. This surprising development has been made in a business which meets with competition throughout its territory. The result is due to Mr. Busch's able business management and tireless energy. No establishment in this lin'j in the west stands higher than the W. J. Busch Seed Co. Mr. Busch first came to Kansas in 1884, tak- m HOME OF W. J. BUSCH 6 1 5 Tennessee Street W. J. BUSCH SEED CO . WAREHOUSE AND OFFICE ing employment in Lawrence as a grocery clerk. Soon after he accepted a position with tlie Pierson Mills, remaining with them for about fourteen years. He then went to a good business in Birmingham. Ala., but the call of Kansas was too insistent and in resJDOnse thereto he returned to Lawrence, buying an interest with Geo. Kumler, the firm becoming known as Kumler & Busch. Last year Mr. Busch purchased the Pierson Mill property, now occupied solely by his own busi- ness. A short time ago he e.xchanged other property for the beautiful home at 615 Tennessee Street. While Mr. Busch has been developing his large business in seeds, grain and feed, he has found time to be a good citizen as well and for years has been an active worker iii the First Methodist Church.

W. COCKINS .0 W Presbyterian W. W. COCKINS ESTMINSTER Hall was founded by the Board of Edu- cation of the church for the purpose of giving Biblical in- struction to Presbyterian and other students of the Univer- sity of Kansas. This beauti- ful structure, built of red vit- riiied brick, is located on Mt. Oread, adjacent to the Uni- versity Campus, and com- mands a magnificent view of tlie Kavv valley. The Hall is the gift of W. W. Cockins of Lawrence, and was built at a cost of twenty thousand dollars, including the grounds. The dedication which took place on Friday after- noon, October seventh, nineteen hundred and ten, was a note- worthy occasion in the religious education in Kansas. The opening paragraph in the dedicatory address, delivered by Dr. Joseph Wilson Cochran of Philadelphia, contains these signi- ficant words : "This auspicious occasion is more than the dedication of a church house, more than the donor's arrange- ment for a religious and social advance- ment of certain groups of students. The dedication of this noble Hall is an epochal event in thu history of the Amerl- c a n Pre sbyteriau Church. It records one of the first tan- gible results of th'j new and broader conception of what constitutes higher education. It is one of the few concrete embodiments of the understa n di n g be- tween churcTi and state, tliat the edu- cation is at the heart religious, and that real religion in- volves the' broadest education." The Hall and its work is supported by an endowment fund which the Board of Education in the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., holds as Trustee. Mr. Cockins in nineteen hundred and thirteen gave five thousand dollars, in addition to the gift of twenty thousand dollars for the Hall, to com- plete the endowment to fifty thousand dollars. Rev. Stanton Olinger, A. M. (Kansas University), B. D. (Princeton) directs the activities of the Hall. That West- minister Hall is one of the effective religious agencies of the —80 STANTON OLINGER WESTMINSTER HALL University is shown by the ac- tive participation of the stu- dents in its work. Daily class work in Biblical instruction is carried on. During the year nineteen hundred eleven and twelve over four hundred stu- dents were enrolled in the- classes. The hall is well adapt- ed to class recitation, and also serves as a social center. Fre- quently two hundred or two hundred fifty students gather here for an evening of social recreation. The members of the Board of Trustees are : George Innes, President of the Executive Committee; W. W. Cockins, Donor of the Hall; Rev. Wm. A. Powell, D. D., Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Law- rence ; E. F. Caldwell. Secretary of Westminster Association: I. C. Stevenson, Treasurer of the Association ; Rev. B. H. Gragg, D. D., Member of the Executive Cominittee; Prof. James Naismith, M. D., Member of the Executive Committee; Dr. R. S. McGee, Topeka, Kansas ; Prof. W. H. Johnson, Lawrence; Rev. J. S. Glendenning, D. D., Topeka, Kansas; Frank Riddle, lola, Kansas; Hon. Thom- as Potter, Peabody, Kansas ; Rev. Alfred E. Vanoreden, D. D., Salina, Kansas ; Rev. John Milton Oliver, President of West- minster Association, Halstead, Kansas; Rev. Stanton Olin- ger, A. M., B. D., Principal. Mr. Cockins was born December 6, 1837, upon the ances- tral estate of his father wdiich had been purchased from Gen. Washington near Ft. Pitt (Pittsburg, Pa.) about the year 1790, and which is still in the possession of the family. In 1864, he married Miss Annie Welch of Washington, Pa., and in 1870, they moved to Kan- sas, where for many years they resided upon Mt. Oread. Two daughters and a son survive of the six children born to them. Mrs. W. E. Tenney of New York, Miss Anna L. Cockins of Los Angeles, California, and William Welch Cockins. of Meade, Kansas. There are three grandsons ; Frederick \\ . Tenney, W. W. III., and Robert Gould Cockins. Since 1888, Mr. and Mrs. Cockins have divided their time between Law- rence and Los Angeles, California, and are at present living in their Lawrence home, 171 1 Massachusetts Street. Eh- "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." — Keats I Lawrence^ Abundantly the City Beautiful^ Has Proven These IVords True I BY EMIL HELD HISTORY has placed some communities on the map for such as find scientific research inter- esting, for others who find amusement in am- bling through the lanes and isolated sections, made historic by act of man or will of God, and history still has left some of these communities asleep. Colleges and other educational institutions have spread the fame of villages and cities, have in certain cases added to the income of local residents and increased the resources of tributary country, have even brought an influx of traffic a little above the ordinary, and still these educational institu- tions have at times left their communities asleep. Commercial and industrial interests have often made possible the accumulation of riches by individuals in certain communities, have even furnished employment to hundreds and increased the bank clearings materially, have influenced the slow growth of town and country near their location, and yet these same interests have here and there done little to arouse from sleep their own communities. The city of homes is the boast of many a community whose builders never neglect their kin and friends, nor their churches and those worthy of charity, yet who fail to stir from lethargy and drowsiness their own and fellow citizens" ambition for the common good of their communities. The city of Lawrence, county seat of Douglas, in the state of Kansas, has every earmark of historic advantage, as this magazine edition of the L.\wrence Daily Journal- Worl-u proves. This same city has had indelibly stamped upon her records the benefits of being one of the greatest educational centers in the Union, the home of the State University and of Haskell Institute, a training school for Indians. In the city of Lawrence commercial and industrial inter- ests have not had their growth impaired by reason of historic and educational factors, usually regarded as a re- tardment to a community's advancement, when somehow these cities never awoke from this sleep-inducing element. Here both history and education have, if anything, materially strengthened the commercial and industrial progress of the city. The city of Lawrence is ideallv a citv of home;. -H be they moderate in cost or expensive in construction, large- ly because the citizens build for their own use and generally for the future, imprinting on the structures their own ideal- isms and fancies. W. W. Cockins, the man who made Westminster Hall possible, is an example of the men who have helped Law- rence to remain young with the ebb and tide of the advanc- ing years. Orthodoxy and Presbyterianism have come down to his family in an unbroken line through their Scotch-Irish ancestry from John Knox. That this heritage remains un- impaired is proven by his word and works, both of which will perpetuate the family name in the history of Kansas achievement. He requires no further compliment than the following extract from his own brief address delivered at the Dedicatory Service, when he presented the deed and keys of the building to the Trustees : "Friends, I do want this building to stand as a monument to the integrity of God's word. And if this is accomplished, my highest ambition will be reached, and, in order that it maj' do that, I have in- serted in the deed to the Trustees of Westminster Hall, which I am about to hand you, that, if the Bible should ever be taught in this building other than the word of God, the title shall immediately cease to vest in them and shall go to the Presbyterian Synod of Kansas. For I would rather that the Bible should never be taught in this building, than that it should be taught as other than the Word of God." Yes, the city of Lawrence is awake — awake in every sense of the word. She has outlived mere historic days, has placed them on her records as pages of reference to the achievement of men who overcame obstacles in pioneer days, who saw the city in ruins and who helped her rise from ashes, a better, a more enterprising, a more beautiful city. Dr. Charles J. Simmons, of the Simmons Hospital, recently told me, that this city possesses everything to entitle her to a high place in the list of advancing communities. He said: "Lawrence leads in schools, in morals, in commercial and industrial activities. She is a modern city." The doctor is right. Lawrence is all of that. Lawrence is more than that. Built hy men of ideals — Massachusetts Street — Looking North From Winthrop Street The City's Fine Opera Hou.se, The Bowersoeli Theater, is located at this Corner. —81— inspired by women of unusually strong character — the city has acquired and rightly holds the title of "Lawrence, The City Beautiful." Home upon home, street upon street, institution up- on institution, business place upon busi- ness place, all portray the character of the men and women who have helped the city from the beginning to have and to hold the characteristics that walk hand in hand with the inborn ele- ment of desire for beauty. Woman, by nature beautiful — as the poet says "always so in character — " has always stood for the best in the city, and naturally has implanted that beauty of character upon the commun- ity. Parks and parked streets, parked institutions and railway stations, all give evidence of the inherent desire for a "city beautiful." Homes outside of the city limits and far out into the country have been nursed with the same food from practically the infancy of the county and the effect is beauti- ful. It is true that good roads move ments have only just added new im- petus to the attainment of greater things in beautifying a naturally beautiful country and increasing its resources. But this fact goes to prove that the citizens are awake and realiz'j the need of staying awake, to keep pace with other cities and other states. Fortunately for the city, development has made itself felt in all directions. Her citizens realize, therefore, the pressing need of better fire protection for the growing com- munity. The fire loss is comparatively small, but the great- est part of it is due to the lack of water mains in the out- lying districts. Fire Chief Wm. Reinisch believes that this will be overcome with proposed municipal ownership of the water system, the addition of another fire station and motor equipped apparatus. Mr. Reinisch's connection with the de- partment began twenty-one years ago and his familiarity with local construction work since then has been useful in the prevention of greater losses. The average number of MAYOR OF LAWRENCE fires annually is only sixty-five, the highest record being ninety. In the city government the people generally have been fortunate. But in keeping with the forward movement of other cities the present form of govern- ment with its Common Council will pass into history, when in 1914 the Commission form, adopted this year, supplants the old system. That this change has solely to do with the methoci of government, and not necessarih' with individuals, is evident, when one listens unobserved to the man who likes to be heard. o This opportunity came to me one day, when I had just- left the city hall with a co-worker and passed along the street behind a voluble speaker and his willing listener. They had apparently come from the office of Mayor Bond. Thus quoth the bard in question : "The Hon- orable Mayor is all right. That's his way, merely. You see he is a '49er. I mean that he was born that year in the Windy City, better known as Chi- cago, and came to Kansas in 1861. We never met until after he left McLouth, where he had been a general storekeeper, and from 1882 to 1886 also postmaster. From 1887 to 1891 he was in business in Salina. Later he was County Commissioner in Jefferson County and Trus- tee of Union Township there. Since coming to Lawrence he has been Councilman from 1905 until 1912, in which year he was elected mayor. Taking office in 1913, he has shown that he means well and is willing to prove it. He is just "sot in his way" about having the city own the water works sys- tem, and I will put up a bond on it — oh, you needn't smile — that we will get it, before Mayor Bond gets through." o James Fitzpatrick is officially the city's Street Commis- sioner. But that he cannot help, for t!ie office came to him with his first election to that post in 1909. He has held it ever since. A Pennsylvanian by birth, he is anything bm E. U. BOND J AS.

Mitch ell, City Attorney "Pennsylvania Dutch," although as someone — who wanted to jolly me — said, he is as good-natured as the Dutch. Mr. Fitzpatrick came to Kan- sas in 1868, was for a number of years Roadmaster and Division Roadmaster on the Frisco Railroad. He is a stockholder and one of the directors of the Mutual Oil Company, a corporation of local importance and capital, although doing practically a National business. On the job for the city, as he used to be in private em- ploy, Mr. Fitzpatrick is one of the men who will prove useful citizens under any government. o Wm. Reinisch, a native of Berlin, Germany, where he was born in i86g, came to Kansas in 1883. Beginning his schooling in the fatherland, he finished it here in Lawrence. He entered the Fire Department in 1892, when the horses were still led out by the hand. Of rnur?c. ever\thing is drop harness now and, as Mr. Reinisch aptly put it, the men now use the "slide, Kelly, slide" method to reach their apparatus from their quarters above, in case of fire. Just a little easier and nat- urally a great deal faster. Mr. Reinisch was appointed Fire Chief in 1900, and is always on duty, when needed, although he is inter- ested in the firm of Grayson & Reinisch, Tinners and Roofers, at 1029 Massachusetts Street. The tenacity, inherent in thj native German, recently proved itself equal, to a stubborn fire in the business district of the city, when Mr. Reinisch and his department men for nearly twelve hours fought hard to keep the fire demon confined to the premises first attacked. o .-Mthough the City Council will be abolished next year as the result of the people's vote, such men as E. N. Kuhn remain awake in the interests of the city. Born in the state of Indiana in 1842, he came to Kansas in 1876, after receiving his education at the Quaker College, Bloomington. Indiana. He is a member of the Washington Post, No. 12, G. A. R., having seen service vvitli the 133d Indiana Infantry. Mr. Kuhn has been in the painting and decorating business in this city for thirty-five years. He became a mem- ber of the City Council, beginning with the present term. E. N. Kuhn COUNCILMAN. FIRST WARD Of Jas. H. IMitchell, City Attorney, a brief sketch will be found in the Bench and Bar section. With the aggressive steps, now being taken by Mayor Bond and some of his associates in public of- fice, to secure the Lawrence Water Company's plant for municipal control, it is hoped that much good will result for the city as a whole in the way of needed improvements to better the ser- vice and strengthen it. There are those who claim that the successful vote throughout the county this year on the new bridge across the Kaw River in this city points the way to still greater things to come for this city, including good roads everywhere for the good of the farmer and a new city hall for the county seat. May it be so. CITY FIREMEN AT HEADQUARTERS Reading from left to ri.ailU; Standing — Fred Harris, Ed. Froliger. Charles Prosser, Lawrence Rollec. Fred Wieman. Wm. Sliumyer. Sitting — Paul Ingels, H.

Modern business blocks, erected recent- ly, are adding to the beautification of the city in the commercial district, just as nev/ homes going up every- where are only strength e n i n g the reputation of Lawrence as "the city beauvi- ful." "Big Jim" Monroe has as big a heart as a body.

Susie enjoys the outing- which has given her rosy cheeks and a healthy body and mind. She is now in the 5th B, has never failed to make her grades and never intends to.

Some parts of this oath we have outgrown, but the spirit of most of it is as refreshing and helpful as ever, "to reckon him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, to look upon his offspring on the same footing as my own brothers,'' "1 will follow the system of regimen whicli according to mv ability and judgment I coneider for the benefit of my pa- tients," and "will abstain from whatever is deleterious an J mischievous." "I will give no deadly medicine to anyone nor suggest any such counsel,'' "with purity and with holi- ness I will pass my life and practice my art," "into whatso- ever houses I enter I will go into them for the benefit of A. R. KENNEDY, D. D. S. Famous Football Coach tlie sick and will abstain from every vol- untary act of mischief and corruption.'" Whatever, in connection with my profes- sional practice or not in connection witl; it, I see or hear in the life of men which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge as reckoning that all su:h should be kept secret." The general spirit of medical ethics in common with that of good ethics in any other line requires personal and profes- sional honor. It contemplates the final su- premacy of truth and righteousness, and condemns any practice in which one may be made to suffer by reason of an unfair advantage. The mention of medical eth- ics like that of expert testimony provokes a smile on the faces of the uninformed because, in actual practice, the form and not the substance has so often been in evi- dence, but tliere has been real progress in this matter and with the increased demand for efficiency, and the growing impatience with mystery there will be more progress. Formerly a consultant sought to "show off" at the ex- pense of the regular attendant without much regard for thi patient and his interests, now he supports the attendant and the patient's interests are paramount, — an advance in ethics rather than in science or personal skill. In the attempt to apply the principles of ethics to the doctor's relations with his patients, the better grade men in the profession have always been in practical agreement, and have always acted in substantial unison. There is no room for argument about the iniquity of operating because one needs the fee, about overcharging, or exaggerating a case. Edward Biimgardner, M. D., D. D. S. H. S. Gardner, M. D.- —89— W.

Helm Commission Company Has Successfully Invaded Outside Markets With Douglas County's Products CARLOAD lots mark the magnitude of a business more readily than a general description. When in 1897 the Wm. F. Helm Commission Co. was organized in Kansas City a natural growth was to be expected. That it was deemed advisable to establish a branch in Lawrence in 1904, proved the large.=s of Douglas County. Since then Kaw Valley products have been large'y handled b\ this firm, composed of Wm. F. Helm, of Kansas City, and T. C. Walton, Jr., of Law- rence, the latter becoming an associate of his former em- ployer after having acquired a thorough knowledge of the commission business. Eggs, potatoes, onions and other vegetables : apples and other fruits are handled in carload lots, the average year's business in eggs alone reaching one hundred cars ; in potatoes 200 cars ; in apples 50 cars ; in sweet potatoes five to ten cars; in mixed fruits and vegetables up to fifty cars. As HELM COMMISSION COMPANY a direct result of this large volume of business, the firm gives steady employment to fifteen men and women, aside from the fact that they pay large sums to Douglas County farmers annually for their products. The local market has found it advantageous to deal with this company. J. C. Walton. Jr., the manager here, requires no introduc- tion to permanent residents of Lawrence. He is the son of John C. Walton, County Com- missioner, was born in Law- rence and has made his own ability and energy count for something in connection with the Wm. F. Helm Commis- sion Company's business. On the other hand, the firm's ex- tensive dealings have had a marked influence in placing the products of the Kaw Val- ley, centered around the city of Lawrence, into other mar- ! ^i^&r ,/ ■> /fv":- fe«: ^I^BHjb^/y- f N y-y/Jt^^^^K^-XMJ ^S^ BHmB'''Ii>iiil i'^ ill Im ^.,^L^ jl^MIH Second Half of Panoramic View of Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kansas for the children. Therefore the poHcy adopted by the govern- ment of offering industrial, as well as academic, training in all Indian Schools was a necessity. It has proved to be, not only a practical and effective policy for Indian schools, but during the past few years is being rapidly adopted in public schools for wliite boys and girls and thus the pioneer work of Indian Industrial Training Schools has been of great in- direct benefit to education in general. Following Dr. Marvin the following persons have been employed as Superintendents at Haskell : Col. Grabowski, of Georgia; Gov. Charles Robinson, of Kansas; Col. O. E. Lear- nard. of Kansas ; Dr. Chas. F. Meserve, of Massachusetts ; John A. Swett, of Illinois; H. B. Peairs, of Kansas; H. H. Fiske, of Massachusetts and John R. Wise, of Wisconsin, who holds the office at present. Since the i':stitut:on opened, there h.ivc been enrolled ,-„ 234 boys and 2ft_-!,T, .girls, making a total of 7,867. There have been ij8 differen' tribes and bands represented, from twenty seven different states and from Alaska. Of the total number who have been enrolled in the in- stitution 654 have graduated. This is not a large percentage and yet considering the fact that all grades of pupils, from the kindergarten through about what is equal to two years of high school work, are enrolled, the number who have com- pleted Academic and Vocational courses is creditable. Care- ful investigation of ex-students' work proves results to be good. The educated young people are the leaders in their home communities and are independently earning their living. Fifty Haskell graduates earned $50,000.00 during 1910. Haskell Institute, although only one of three hundred thirty three schools maintained for Indians, is having an im- portant part in the training of Indians for a useful citizen- ship. The success of Haskell Institute has been, at all times, largely due to the intelligent and interested support of the citizens of Lawrence. So it will be in the future. Any edu- cational institution is fortunate indeed in having an environ- ment such as is found in Lawrence. May the mutually help- ful relationship long be continued. Pboto by A.

H. BELL out a cheap piano under his name and then create a sale for it. The answer is well remembered. Mr. Bell said : "When the name Bell Brothers goes upon a piano it will be upon one of the best pianos that it is possible to make." That ex- pression characterizes the work of this well known firm. It has never stooped to cheap and questionable practices, but has always stood forth as a business house with high ideals and with square and honorable methods. The growth of Bell Brothers has been remarkable. Begin • ning in 1886 with a small cor- ner in a store room, the firm 'OLIN BELL Factory at Mli now has a large factory and store at Muncie, Indiana, the largest music house in Kansas at Lawrence and a large and successful branch at Topeka. The factory at Muncie was open- ed for business about three years ago and has a capacity of one fin- ished piano for every hour of working time. These pianos are sold generally throughout the cen- tral and western states and are already forcing their way still far- tlicr cast. The Bell Brothers piano is a strictly high grade piano, and has won the favor of musicians wherever it has been introduced. The business of the factory and store at Muncie has required the entire time of both J. H. and 'Olin Bell for some time and R. D. Krum, who has been Store at Muncie, Indiana 'B with the firm for ten years, has made good as western manager with headquarters in Lawrence, Kansas. An average of fifteen employees are used by the Law- rence Store, there are six em- ployees in the branch at Topeka and four traveling sales- men are kept busy in Kansas. Besides mainifacturing the Bell Brothers, Merriman and Deterling pianos Bell Brothers are also Kansas distributors for the A. B. Chase pianos. In the Lawrence store may be found at all times from seventy-five to one hundred pianos while the stock of music is the largest in the west, being valued at about $10,000. The number of pianos sold "'^'^^ '"'''^"^ by Bell Brothers will run well into the thousands, for thev were big dealers even before en- gaging in the manufacture of pianos and seldom received pianos in less than car lots. They were among the first deal ers in the west to handle talk- ing machines and in the base- ment room of tlieir Lawrenc; store have arranged an attrac- tive salesroom where their cus- tomers may hear the latest rec- ords without being disturbed b> the playing of pianos or nois from the street. In Bell Bros.

Wise, Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kansas i THE INDIAN YOUTH OF TODAY REALIZES \ I THE ADVANTAGES OF DOMESTIC, INDUS- I TRIAL AND SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT I ~[3 YEARS ago I thought a little of the Indian, in a manner similar to the general prevailing opinion, as the bold, firewater consuming native of the country, which he had been gradually abandoning for the good of the citizens of the United States. Time changed my sentiments, as I grew older, and when close contact with the Indian youth became necessary for me in behalf of the government, I was already prepared for the remarkable possibilities of development that manifested themselves with close observation. To the average American an Indian school may still ap- pear merely an institution to keep the adopted wards of the nation out of mischief. To the fair-minded, unbiased man, ready to investigate, perhaps no other school furnishes such a far-reaching opportunity to prove satisfactorily that the ability of the Indian to become a useful and in many in- stances influential citizen is not a myth. The visitor to the Haskell Institute, at Law- rence, Kansas, finds that this institution anticipates, meets and provides for the Indian's needs — to enable him to convert serious preparation into a practi- cal and wag e — earning power. While it is a fact that Indians stand high in some of the Western cities in the professional branches, the Indian schools first of all aim to equip the youth along the lines of vocational educa- tion, or trade training, a subject that animates the whole educational world today. Haskell Institute, at Lawrence, Kansas, is a representa- tive school of the highest type of this class. It is moreover an institution with definite ideals, aims and policies, among which are the following : 1. To give to each student a thorough and practical common school education, and at the same time a good working knowledge of some trade by which support may be earned. 2. To thoroughly train the student mentally and moral- ly in order to develop an honest independent manhood and to fit him for the responsibilities and duties of citizenship. Also to develop, where possible, qualities of leadership tha: will make an ever-increasing number helpful to their people. The advantages which Haskell Institute offers to all in- terested and eligible Indian students are many. Its location- al advantages are striking and so peculiar to Haskell alone that they must be set forth : 1. Haskell is the most centrally located school of its type in the United States. 2. Haskell is located nearer the center of population in the United States than any other school of its kind. DAIRY BARN AT HASKELL INSTITUTE, LAWRENCE Elrected 1907. Recently fitted with Louden Eqiiipment. by Harbison Mfg. Co., Kansas City 3. Haskell is located on two great trans-conxinental railway systems, the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific. 4. Haskell is located within forty miles of the great railway center and metropolis of the middle west — Kansas City. S- Haskell is located directly in the corn, wheat and stock-raising section. 6. Haskell is located in Lawrence, the seat of the Kan- sas State University, affording all of the advantages of an educational center. The people of the community are of the highest and best type. 7. Haskell is located in Kansas, a prohibition state, and there is not one saloon in the city of Lawrence. These important facts constantly receive the considera- tion of superintendents, agents, prospective pupils and the parents of prospective pupils. H.^SKELI, WELL EQLHPPED FOR ITS WORK In addition to these ad- vantages, Haskell is well equipped by over a quarter of a century of actual and successful experience in the work to prepare In- dian youth for industrial, business, or domestic pur- suits. The growth of the Institution has been steady and increasingly encour- aging. The original school farm contained 280 acres; there are now nearly 1,000. New buildings have been added to the original plant of three, until now there are nearly fifty. Most of these buildings are of stone (three of brick), lighted by electri- city, heated by steam and furnished with sanitary conveni- ences. Among these buildings are three large dormitories, a commodious chapel, a large school building, a domestic sci- ence and art building, fine modern hospital, employees' quarters, shop buildings, warehouse, cottages and others. From fourteen pupils the number has increased to 750. The first industries taught were carpentry, shoe-making, farming, sewing and housework. To these have been added : painting, papering, exterior and interior finishing, black- smithing, forging and iron-working, wagon making, and wheelwrighting, tailoring, harness making, engineering, steam fitting, machine shop practice, electrical work, print- ing, baking, nursing, brick and stone masonry, plastering, cement work, gardening and dairying. There are also such special departments, as domestic science, domestic art, busi- ness and manual training — this last including mechanical drawing, woodworking, and ironworking. The .Academic Department is equipped to aid Indian pu- pils in the most effective way to acquire those elements of a common school education most essential to their welfare. -97- The work begins with the third grade, and it is expected that pupils shall have com- pleted at least the first and second before entering Has- kell. Intermediate (two years) : Fourth and fift!-, grades. Grammar school (three years) : Sixth, seventh and eight grades. Business School (two years) : Junior and Senior. Gardening, agriculture, mu- sic, physical culture, athletics and religious training receive the proper attention. Sunday schools provide for both Pro- testant and Catholic pupils. A modern printing department turns out mechanics, ade- quately equipped.

Since then it has con- tinued with vary- ing vicissitudes, at times almost suppressed an.,! extinct, then again rallying, until today the Association has the largest mem- bership in its history. The Junior Y. M. C. A. for the younger boys was organized last year with 30 members and has meetings every week under tlie direction of the senior boys' cabinet. This year there are 59 in that organization. THE NEW WAY-— LOUDEN EQUIPMENT Interior of Dairy Barn at Haskell Institute Fitted With Louden (Fairfield. Iowa) Equip- ment. Installed By Harbison Mfg.

The foregoing is sufficient proof that Haskell Institute merits the place it has been rightly given by local interests as a factor of great value in the promotion ■of the welfare of the commun- ity. One other fact is of con- siderable i m - portance at this time, namely the remarkable success of the football team of this school un- der the able coach, Dr. R. A. Kenned y. The Haskell Indians, as the team is popu- larly known, have spread the fame of Law- rence as a foot- ball center. The entire staff of the school takes pride in it. The dairy has just been placed on the highest standard of sanitation. The Louden Equip- ment, recently installed by the Harbison Mfg. Co., of Kansas City, includes eighty-one steel stanchions, eight steel hos. stalls and steel calf pen. —98-^ Where Indian Boys and Girls Receive Training tor Lite s W ork 1. — Carpenter Shop. 2. — Large Boys' Home. 3. — Scene on Campus; bandstand in distance. 4. — Girls' Home.

S. Tough, is a historic point. Here may be found what was at one time the fastest halfmile trotting track west of the Alleghany Mountains. The spot w'as thj pride of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, which spent much money on the grove. A herd of buffaloes, kept here for many years, is now in the public park at Denver, Colo. During the Boer war Bismarck Grov; was the depot for congregating ponies, preparatory to their shipment to South Africa. 15,000 head were shipped in all at that time. W. S. Tough & Sons were the owners of the place then. John S. Tough, the present owner, is still maintaining a record for ponies. The plant, in addition to being a home for Shetland Ponies now, is also used as a feeding ground for large numbers of mules and for the grazing of sheep that feed in transit from Wyoming points to the Kansas City market. Out of only three stations used for that purpose, Bismarck Grove is the mala feeding point. At times as high as "B Bred at the Bismarck Grove Pony Stock Farm —101- 10,000 sheep are handled in one day, and then shipped to Kansas City in smaller lots. The herd of ponies was originally imported from Sher- land Island, and is headed by the celebrated stallion. Buck Stop. Ex-President Diaz, of Mexico, had three ponies frora this herd in his private stables, just before he departed from Mexico. Mr. Tough gives special attention to color, con- formation and disposition in his herd of 75 to 100 ponies. The increase from this herd finds a market all over the world. The days of old are a thing of the past, but the history of Bismarck Grove is not a dying one. Where once the proud buffalo grazed, today the money- making mule is being handled for an ever-ready market.

At his fath- er's death fourteen years ago, E L. Charlton became the active member of the firm and was sole owner of the agency for about twelve years. The business grew to such an extent that it became necessary for Mr. Charlton to take in a partner, with ex- perience in underwrit- ing in all its varied branches. H. T. Mel- ton, formerly special agent of one of the largest insurance com- panies in the world and otherwise q u a 1 ified, was chosen. Today the firm of Charlton & Melton is the third lar- gest agency in the state of Kansas, repre senting twenty of the I i I I -El leading fire and cyclone insurance companies in the world.

Henley disposed of a barb wire factory in 1898, and the city of Lawrence felt keenly the loss. But it soon be- came evident that Mr. Henley and his associates were to remain an important factor in the industrial life of the city. In 1889 the American Cement Plaster Company began to do business with the following officers : .\. Henley, Pres- ident ; J. R. Mulvane, Vice President ; J. A. Henley, Secre- tary and B. A. Williams Assistant Secretary and Genera! Sales Agent. Beginning with a small plant, located in Mulvane, Kan- sas, the company's business rapidly expanded, until now plants are being operated in Longford, Kansas ; Watonga, Oklahoma ; Acme, Texas ; Blue Rapids, Kansas, with two mills ; Grand Rapids, Michigan and Fort Dodge, Iowa. T'le Grand Rapids plant is considered one of the largest and finest in the country. The output from all the branches in- cludes hair and wood fibered wall plaster; moulding and dental plaster ; finish plaster, of which the output reaches 250,000 tons ; American Improved Gypsum Blocks and American Improved Wall Board. Of the latter two pro- ducts the company's shipments average three carloads per day from the Fort Dodge, Watonga and Grand Rapids works. From less than a carload a day the entire output of the firm has grown to about fifty carloads daily.

From a point of natural lo- cation the city of Lawrence is not sur- passed by others of larger size that are now considered adjacent to other impor- tant commercial centers. From a point of facilities for industrial development, it need only be said that when the ma- jestic Niagara was first harnessed for power, New Yorkers outside of Niagara Falls and Buffalo never even thought that some day they would be buyni.? power transmitted from this wonderful source of supply at less cost than it is provided at home. It is true that some of the Lawrence citizens realized on their opportunities through the development of industries that were not deemed able to prosper away from the common manufacturing cen- ters. It is true that others among her citizens possessed energy, enterprise and liberality enough to develop indus- trial plants elsewhere, still sharing their prosperity witli their home town. It is also true that wide-awake citizen-; have seen and met the need of modern buildings in the heart of the city, just as from the very pioneer days settlers have aimed at the latest im- provements in their own homes. The City of Law- rence is essentially a product of th.; State of Kansas. She in turn typifies in her citizenship a product unsurpass- ed in vitality, man- hood, honor and sincerity of pur- pose. Saddled as other communities are with the spirit of laggardness, bur- dened as they are with a species of .nankind frequently GEORGE INNES Merchant Prince and Honored Citizen LEE COHN Owner of First Vaudeville Theatre in Lawrence known as moss-backs, this city has pros- pered without these short-comings, prob- ably because from the very beginning it actually became necessary for her citi- zens to fight their way through. There were those who toiled to wrest from nature's bowels unlimited resources. There were those who fought to keep the enemy from near and dear ones and in protect hard-won possessions. There were others who surmounted the vicissi- tudes of flood and other disaster. Bui always they remained a people, united in a common cause — that of upbuilding the City of Lawrence, while individually promoting their own material welfare. If, "in union there is strength," this city is safe. The City of Lawrence has produced in abundance men of brains ; men of far-seeing discernment; men of far- reaching energy, and men of power m all walks of life. Her University has sent out men, native born, to all parts of the world to reflect credit upon the home city. Her business enterprises have prospered until now some of her commercial leaders stand foremost, not only in the Sun- flower state, but throughout the country. Her industrial inter- ests have grown until products trade-marked with the name of or sold from the city of Lawrence have become recog- nized as factors to be reckoned with competitively. Such a city, distinctive ir; character, individ- ual in her combin- ed resources, as may be gleaned pages in this edi- from the variou.s tion is Lawrence which has produc- ed statesmen, schol- ars, captains of in- dustry and com- mercial leaders. Probably no one thing has done more to put and keep Lawrence on the map than "Zephyr" flour.

Thus 1 found with a floor space of fifty-six thousand feet, with three story packing houses, equipped with the latest machinery, the Kaw Valley Cannery Co. covers a total area of four- teen acres.

W. H Pen- dleton is President, M. M. Pendleton Vice President and W. H. Pendleton, Jr., Secre- tary and Treasurer. The Fair is a part of a business organiz- tion of thirty years standing in Kansa.s. J. H. Cohn, owner, is a native of Kentucky, but left his home thirty-three years ago and came to Kansas nine years later. In 1890 he opened the Fair store in Law- rence and has always been identified with the best interests of the city. He is Vice-President of the Merchants Associa- tion and a prominent member of fraternal organizations Mr. Cohn built up a remunerative business which now oc- cupies more than three times the floor space first used. A wholesale millinery department has added to the prestige of the city of Lawrence as a jobbing center. About twenty people are constantly employed by him. The Theo.

Recently he was heard to say: "I am proud of my home, my babies and my fancy stock, and I have been successful along all of these lines." And he has reason to be. Mr. Sutton is the living spirit of enthusiasm and is a walking advertisement of the city's enterprise. He travels extensive- ly in connection with his varied interests and at all times and everywhere furnishes evidence that Lawrence has men who do things. The Mutual Oil Company, with business offices in Kan- sas City, is nevertheless a Lawrence organization, where it was formed in 1909. The general office is located here, while offices and distributing stations are maintained in Kansas City, Missouri; Fremont, Nebraska; Superior, Nebraska; Great Falls, Montana, and Missoula, Montana. One hundred and fifty smaller stations are maintained throughout the country. Last year the company's Kansas City plant was en- larged with a three story and basement concrete building. The company manufactures high grade automobile oils, greases and gasoline. With the Mutual Oil Company are affiliated three refineries, located at Coffeyville, Kansas; Kansas City, Kan- sas, and Cowley, Wyoming. About twenty traveling men represent the institution on the road, and in all about three hundred employees are needed to take care of the business. The officers are J. R. Greenlees, President; J. B. Russell. Vice President, and O. H. Williams, Secretary and General ^^anager. The directors are: Hon. S. D. Bishop, James Fitzpatrick, Hugh Blair, Junius Underwood, all of Lawrence and D. W. Moffitt, of Coffeyville, Kansas. A Whitcomb came to Lawrence in the spring of 1855 and in the fall of that year went to work in the Herald of Free- dom office. In i860 he started the first job printing office in Lawrence, selling it in 1868 to Sam Dodsworth of Leaven- worth. He then started the greenhouse that marked the be- ginning of the present firm of A. Whitcomb & Son, Florists. Col. Wilder S. Metcalf is a citizen who has at all times brought credit to the community and who has done far- reaching advertising in behalf of the city and state. His connection with the 20th Kansas Regiment during the Span- ish American War alone would entitle him to recognition as a foremost citizen. A. D. Weaver came to Kansas in 1883, after severing his connection with BuIIene, Moore, Emery & Co., now the Em- ery, Bird, Thayer Dry Goods Co., of Kansas City, Mo. L. Bullene, then owner of a dry goods store here, secured his services and after the first year gave him an interest in the business, under the firm name of L Bullene & Co. When in 188s the firm, established since 1857, decided to retire from business, Mr. Weaver thought the matter over, and on March 16, 1886, purchased the stock. Since that time the store has been conducted by A. D. Weaver who gives employment *:> about thirty people the year round. Lee Cohn, known to Lawrence people as the owner of the Airdome for two seasons past, is about to open a new vaudeville theater, the first one in this city, with a seating capacity of seven hundred and fifty. Mr. Cohn built the Orpheum Theater at Leavenworth and at Excelsior Springs, and has been connected with some of the largest road shows. In the Western part of the country he has been running moving picture shows, airdomes and vaudeville theaters for over a decade. A Pennsylvanian by birth, Al E. Smith started in 1&S5 in the stock business, devoting his energies to horses and jacks. Four years ago he purchased the 320 acre farm, two miles west of the city, having won success from the start in selling only the best stock. This place is supplied with electricity and water from modern plants on his own prem- ises, and every needed improvement is made by Mr. Smith as fast as required. The stranger finds this prosperous stock- man a splendid host, a good business man and a worthy citi- zen of Douglas County. A new barn recently erected at a cost of over $5,000.00 brings the property value of his exten- sive stock farm up to over $20,000.00. Add to this the fact that in the selling season Mr. Smith handles from thirty to forty thousond dollars worth of horses and jacks, shipping them to all parts of the country, and you have one of the reasons for counting Lawrence as an important stock center. Mr. Smith travels extensively in the east and south and with him travels the fact to outsiders that the Douglas county seat is rich in resources and successful men. The nursery business has placed Lawrence in a class with cities of the size of Rochester, New York, and men like T. E. Griesa have done their share to accomplish this. The extent of its scope is best marked as "national." While visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Allen about eight years ago, Mrs. Patee decided to construct a moving picture theater here similar to the first in this coun- try, established by herself and husband in Jersey City, New Jersey, thus enabling her to be near and care for her par- ents in their declining years. It was a new amusement fea- ture and many tried to dissuade her, but from the start it has been a success. Banking has been brought to the highest standard of achievement in Lawrence. C. H. Tucker, Cashier of the Watkins National Bank, must be accredited with a large share in bringing this about. Mr. Tucker is what might bo termed an energetic banker and all concede that business in- terests have profited by his good judgment and sound meth- ods. He is on the job, but always ready to take an active interest in public affairs. He is treasurer of the Merchants Association and a believer in progressive business method?. Benjamin F. Smith, owner of Smithland Homes, pur- chased in 1880 three acres in the suburbs. About the first improvements he made was the planting of walnut and m.a- pie trees that now make his home an abiding place, admired by all who pass through the southeast part of the city. At that time there were no shade trees of any size in this par* of Lawrence. Now nearly all the neighboring properties are lined with trees, planted by Mr. Smith. It is safe to say that he has planted most of the ornamental shade trees in South Lawrence. Mr. Smith has been a trustee of the Kan- sas State Horticultural Society for eight years and made a national reputation in the strawberry culture, still continu- ing his efforts in small fruit growing. To K. U. students and all former Lawrence residents Wm. Wiedemann is well known as the maker of unsurpassed "Forty Cent a Pound"' candies. Mr. Wiedemann came to Kansas in 1857 and has been in business ever since, erecting a new building in 1886. Who knows not his "fountain of joy?" The new Perkins Building is an office structure that be^t reflects the forward march of the city of Lawrence. On the ground floor is to be found the home of the Perkins Trust Co. Hotel life is typified in the host of the Hotel Eldridgc who makes his house a home for the tired traveler, rather than a mere stopping place. "Billy" Hutson is also a rootei from Rootersville tor all home teams, yet somehow makes the visiting teams feel glad they were here. Eben Baldwin is giving a little niore time to his home than his work permitted in former years, but as president of the Lawrence Brick plant he is now a factor in giving to this city another important industry. H. B. (Bert) and Mrs. Ober have become favorably known as the heart and soul of Ober's, a store for men and boys. It would be easy to continue ad infinitum, but "effici- ent unto the day" is the statement that everybody in Law- rence boosts for the home town. -112- A GOOD RECORD AS SOLDIER AND CIVILIAN SAMUEL JOSEPH CHURCHILL, a native of Vermont was born on November i, 1842. Aged fourteen he left the old home and started out for himself. Later he attended the Academy in Sudbury, Vt. In the spring of 1861 he went to Illinois and enlisted August 6, 1861, in the 2nd Illinois Light Artillery. His battery was among the first to march into Vicksburg, Miss., July 4, 1863. In April, 1864, he went home on furlough and on May 4, 1864, was married to Adelia Augusty Holmes, who died March 31, 1877. Mr. Churchill's battery took an active part in the battle of Tupelo, July 14, 1864. For most distinguished gallantry in action at the battle of Xashville, Tenn., December 15, 1864, Mr. ARTHUR MOSSE Asst. Prof. Physical Education and K. U. Coach Churchill was awarded a medal of honor and was honorably discharged September 5, 1865. Mr. Churchill located in Lawrence in the late seventies and August 4, 1875, married Louana Grant. Since retiring from business he was Deputy Clerk of the District Court from 1893 to 1894. In 1898 he was appointed Asst. Adj. General of the Department of Kansas, G. A. R., and he later became Asst. Inspector General of the Depart- ment of Kansas, G. A. R., on the stafT of the National Com- mander-in-Chief. He has served as assesspr of the city and as councilman.

Ward, with K. U. for Many Years, Recuperating in Accident Prevention Work. PROF. Frank Emerson Ward, for many years a member of the University of Kansas fac- ulty and Superintendent of the Fowler Shops there, at the close of the last semester, asked for a year's leave of absence to recup- erate from the strenuous eflforts of the past. Always an energetic worker. Prof. Ward sought em- ployment that would give prac- tical application to his extended studies along Industrial Accident Prevention. He now travels for the Illinois Indemnity Ex- change, Kansas Employers Inter-Insurers Exchange, and the Texas Indemnity Exchange, as traveling inspector in the Accident Prevention Department. Prof. Ward came to Lawrence, October 8, 1889, to start the shop work for the University, under Prof. Blake, before the Fowler Shops were built. With the new structure came expansion of the course. In 1905 three hundred and fifty students attended. After the opening of the Engineering Building, and the development of the technical branches there, the shop work gave place to the more difficuk branches, leaving the earlier work to Manual Training; Schools. New branches were started and faculty added un- til all the mechanical arts are represented. Then commercial work was added, the shops earning as high as $2,500 towards the annual expenses of K. U. Instruments now are sent to many states in the Union, and some of the foreign countries. Prof. Ward is meeting with success in this field of endeavor. C. B. Harman— Businessman and Author C. B.

BY EMIL HELD I f HE years roll on. Men and women pass away. But history remains. On August 21, 1913, there assembled in the city of Lawrence men and women, young and old, to commemorate the twenty-first day of August of just fifty years ago. Half a century had passed and age had laid its hand upon the shoulders of many who re- membered that eventful day in the history of the State of Kansas, and particularly in the annals of Lawrence history. Sons and daughters were here, too, who, some dimly, others clearly, recalled the experiences of their parents who had passed away since or who had given up their lives on that fateful day. This was not an occasion of joy, brought about by the recollection of hard won victories, but a memorial for those who on that dark and gloomy day were forced to surrender their lives to an enemy who knew not to battle for a cause righteously. The reunion of the survivors of the raid, made by William Clark Quantrell on the City of Lawrence on August 21, 1863, actually began the day before the real date of the semi-centennial memorial. Thus was an opportunity given to meet friends of the days of long ago, fellow citi- zens who had removed to other parts, and to do justice with a varied program to the honored guests. A Committee of Seventeen had planned and carried the Memorial through to success. These were: John K. Rankin, Chairman; H. L. Moore, G. Grovenor, Wm. Bromelsick, Members o£ committee in left column.

Colonel John K. Rankin, Chairman of the Committee, and one of its most zealous workers, has recently had his name inscribed upon the pages of that liistory which evei calls for the men and the women whose useful lives have reached the end. Col. Rankin survived the Memorial, as well as Quantrell's raid, but soon after the twenty-first day of August of the present year fell a victim to- the Grim Reaper who knoweth not a distinction between mankind. And it would appear from statements made by those who came to pay tribute to the pioneers who gave their lives in the cause of Freedom of race in the west that Quan- trell and his followers knew no distinction on that Friday morning fifty years ago, wlien they cut down without mercv the lives of many men and bnys, defenseless for the moment. The day before had been warm enough to make peaceful rest desirable. The day dawned a few hours later upon a community unprepared for warfare and seeking not strife with their neighbors. History, however, tells us that the citizens of Lawrence w-ere aroused from their slumbers by the noise of battle, if such it may be called. The first shots fired drove men and women into the open, merely to quickly seek means to pro- tect their loved ones from the enemy whom they suspected of being responsible for the desolation that greeted their eyes here and there, ^s the word was passed along the line that Quantrell and his raiders had invaded the town, do- fense'ess men and women sought shelter as best they could. To recite in detail that which was recalled by many who attended the Memorial this year, would require pages limit- less in number. The purpose of this edition, however, is net to write a history of details that brought sorrow to every family within the county and death to many useful citizens in the making. The intention is to give as briefly, as is con- sistent, the reason for the Semi-Centenial Memorial, with excerpts from words spoken on or written for this occasion. —11 There is not room to mention each and every one who did attend here on August 2i, 1913, nor yet to print in detail all the letters or even a large part of them. Here and there I have chosen from addresses delivered or from letters, sent to the Committee, striking statements of fact that will help to show best, how the Lawrence of Yesterday, as it was on the eve of that eventful day fifty years ago and as it remained on the morning after that day of fate, held as her greatest treasure the men and the women who outlived the day and then remained to bring order o\it of chaos. Life had been taken away, but life retnained. Slowly sorrowful hearts roused themselves to live and do for near and dear ones who had escaped somehow from the enemy's merciless hands. It has been said, and truthfully so, that pictures tell a story best. Conforming to this popular belief, every effort has been made to secure for this edition pictures and por- triats that will make the history of "Lawrence-Yesterday'' interesting and easy reading. The Lawrence of Yesterday includes days previous to the Quantrell raid and some days that followed. The whole should give the reader cause for deep thought on the stability of a community and the will ' power of a citizenship that drew forth from the burning brands the strength of character and renewed activity that helped to build the "Lawrence of To-day." Lawrence finds her pages of history largely centered on the day that marked the efforts of Quantrell to raze it. But there must needs he a little uncertainty as to figures and names. It is believed that the most essential facts regarding the calamity which befell the city on that sad August day fifty years ago are recorded in the following pages. To show the Lawrence of Yesterday requires, however, a few pictures and facts it: connection therewith of events and men, allied with the whole history of the city. A careful perusal of the different pages throughout the edition will convince all that due attentioti has been given to the Lawrence that has passed into history, in order that the world at large may find therein the real reason for the success that has crowned the efforts of the early pioneers in rebuilding upon the ruins of j'esterday the Greater Lawrence of today.

It will thus be easier to vividly bring home the (acts quoted from other letters.^-Emil Held). THE present residence of Dr. A. J. Anderson marks the site of my home at the time of the Quantrell Raid. The brick house now standing at 717 Vermont Street is the home which I built in 1864, upon the old foundation. At the time of the massacre my husband, R. C. Di.x, had twenty-two men in his employ. He was in the manufacturing business of var- ious kinds of plows, wagons and carriages, the loss of which on that ill-fated morning amounted to many thousand dol- lars. Our home was a three-story structure. The first flooi was a large work and paint shop used in conjunction with the blacksmith shop, and the large wagon and carriage shops which were located to the north of us. The second floor was finished oflf into our comfortable home, and the third floor served for extra sleeping rooms. To the south was the hotel, called the "Johnson House," a three story, stone build- ing. A one-story room used as a barber shop extended from the hotel's north wall and closely adjoined the steps and landing of our home. Our family then consisted of my husband, R. C. Dix, his three brothers, Chaucey, Frank and Steven Dix, former- ly of Hartford, Conn., our baby boy "Eddie", three and a half years of age, and our twin daughters Belle and Lucy, twenty months old. Four men employed by Mr. Dix also lived with us. The morning of August 21, 1863, I was awakened at s o'clock by the yelling and shoot- of the guerrillas as they approach- ed the Eldridge House. Our col- ored man, Tom Pardee, came run- ning in, calling : "Boss, boss, coma with me. The Se- sesh are here and we must all hide." I awakened mv husband and said to him : "Ralph hurry and dres.9, get Steve and* the others and g o hide." As I spoke I looked out of the window. I saw (Hl^r Nirjltt ^UUn tltr laib Wrillen for "Lawrence — ToDay and Yesterday," Behind Mount Oread's grassy slope the summer sun goes down. And twilight falls from dewy skies above the fated town. Where many a happy home is filled with pleasure, joy and mirth While joyous groups are gathered o'er that beauteous spot of earth, Where many happy children roam through lawn and rosy bowers And lovers stroll through shaded walks and gardens bright with flowers. Ah, many will remember now, when summer twilights fade. The gold and purple sunset the night before the raid. And many a sad heart will recall some well remembered face. As memory brings from out the past some last farewell embrace. Some may remember watching little children at their play, Liittle thinking they'd be orphans within another day. Some may recall the parting words, some friend or brother said And of finding them on the morrow numbered with the dead.

J. F. Read. Governor Shannon's office on fire, and Joe Eldridge fall as he was shot in the back yard of the Eldridge House. 1 looked out of the south window and saw three men on horseback gallop up Henry Street. John Crane came out on his doorstep and was shot down like a dog. Turning again to the north window I saw five or six mounted guerrillas, coming full speed from Winthrop Street. They were yelling and shooting right and left as they passed our shops and home. They were joined by others and they soon surround- ed the Johnson House. Mr. Dix, his brothers and men awakening out of a sound sleep were naturally dazed. I was unsuccessful in all my efforts and repeated efforts that I made to get Mr. Dix and the others to hide. Gradually my husband more fully real- ized the conditions and impending danger. Still he answered my pleadings for him to save himself : "No, I want to await developments, and aid the citizens. Our arras are across the street in the arsenal and surely some resistance will be made." While we were talking, another bunch of villainous look- ing rebels rode up to the Johnson House. I hastily barred \our doors, put the three children in the men's arms, and while they waited I went out to see what was the real con- dition in the vicinity of our place. I saw men jumping from windows and fleeing for their lives. Several were killed as they ran. I realized the terrible situation and ran back to our home to urge Mr. Dix and the others not to attempt to leave the house. I found that Frank Dix had ventured down to the paint shop and was wounded. A guerrilla had shot him througli the window. Chris Leener, of Utica, X. Y., was the next one to leave our home, and he was shot as he went down the back stairs. I ran to him and as I tried to hold him, he was shot again by a passing guerrilla. The bullet just missed my face. I entered the house covered with powder and blood. Terror-stricken, I told my husband what I had seen and begged him and the others to remain in the house. Our house and the Johnson House were completely surrounded and there was no possible means of escape. Mr. Dix gave me the children and told me to take them out of the house. They feared that our house had either been set on fire or would be. They decided it was best for them to go at once into the Johnson House, and remain in a vacant room until all was safe. Mr. Dix, his brother Steven and others reached a rear room of the Johnson House by crawling over the barber-shop roof. I carried the babies, one at a time, down our eighteen steps, and put them in our coal shed at the end of the lot. I cautioned my lit- tle "Eddie" t o watch h i s little sisters carefully until I could get their colored nurse, Phoebe to them. Going into the house again, I called and called to Phoebe, but re- ceived no reply. I went out on our — landing and caH- -118— ed to my husband : "Are you there Ralph?" He answered : "Here, and all right." I then made another desperate effori; to rouse Phoebe. When I mentioned the possibility of fire, and begged her to come and stay with the children she called : "Mrs. Dix, I am here locked in the closet.'' The key was missing, so I ran to the kitchen and got the meat cleaver, and split the lock off the door. As Phoebe left the house, she took with her a rocking chair which I still have in my possession. I left Phoebe with the childrei; when I saw that they were all right, and started back to- ward the hotel. I saw my young brother-in-law Steven fall from the back stairs. Just as I reached him a number oi" women came out of the hotel. Mr. Kallmer told me thai Mr. Dix and several others had just been taken prisoners out the front door of the hotel, after having been promised pro- tection if they would turn over their money and valuables. T left Steven's body with two good women who promised to protect it from burning. I rushed around to the front of the hotel. There 1 found my husband standing on the sidewalk a prisoner, with a Mr. Hanson, George Kallmer, John Cornell, a Mr. White, Mr. Goldman and Joe Finley. The latter had been shot in the abdomen while in the hotel and had a death grip on ]Mr. Dix's arm. Going up to my good husband, I frantically cried: "Oh! my God, Ralph, have you given yourself up as a prisoner Why did you do it? I know they will kill you." He realized, I believe, for the first time his terrible situ- ation, he asked me to beg them for his life, and I did all that was in human power to get him away from those heart- less murderers. But oh, how helpless I was ! Their only re- plies were curses upon curses. I can yet hear one treacher ous and hardened looking guerrilla boast : "I have killed seven 'red legs', and I'll kill eiglit more.'' Mr. Dix pro- tested that he was not a 'red leg', but all our pleadings were in vain. In a few minutes the eight men were ordered across the street, just north of the Methodist Church opposite our house. I clung to my husband in spite of their curses and threats. No oaths that I might utter could ever give any idea of their abusive tongues and the false accusations they heaped upon the good, innocent men heM prisoners. While coaxing and begging them, and explaining who my husband was, I got the promise of two of the guerrillas that the}' would not kill him. The third was a heartless wretch and said : "No, I won't let you take your husband away. I'm going to kill every damn one of them." I was still pleading when Ed Thompson ran down the street past us. He called to Mr. Dix saying: "Ralph, break and run. Now is your only chance," and as he entered our shop room he yelled again, "For God's sake run, Ralph." But Mr. Dix only said : "It's too late now." Still I pleaded and the one murderous guerrilla drove his horse many times nearly onto me. Though I was the only woman in the street, I kept hold of my husband's arm with one hand, and with the other fought off the horse's head. A bushwhacker came riding by and shouted: "Take those men up on the street." I walked sideways, holding to Mr. Dix and trying to hold the eye of the one unrelenting guer- rilla. Just as we crossed the alley, back of William Hasel- tine's store (now Guenther's grocery), I stumbled over a pile of rock. Instantly as my hold on Mr. Dix was released this one villainous man shot them all, very wittingly killing my husband first. Mr. Dix was shot in the back, and he fell just as ( raised myself from the rock. I stood, completely dazed and rigid, as I saw men falling to the right and left. I could not get to my husband at once, as the guerrillas were coming in every direction, riding tl rough the alley, right over the dead bodies, between the buildings and into the street. Trying to get out of their way, I found myself on Ma3- sachusetts street, dazed and not knowing what to do or which way to go. I remember as I turned into Mr. Duncan's store, I stepped over Mr. AlHson's body. He was still breathing. I tried to enter the store but was met by several guerrillas who pointed their revolvers at me and said ; "Get out of the way or you will be killed accidentally." I made my way back to the alley, and reached Mr. Dix's side. Crazed with grief, I raised him up, and begged him to speak to me. Suddenly I thought of the children. I picked up Mr. Dix's straw hat, and put it over his face and started to find my babies. I found our house ablaze. It had caught from the Johnson House, which was then tumbling down. I located the babies with colored Phoebe in the ravine, just opposite the John Wilder stone house. When I left them, my little boy called after me for his papa and Uncle Steve. I met many of the dead being carried into our shops and into the old Methodist Church. Both places were turned into morgues. Mr. Dix's body was carried into one of our shops, and there by his side I found his brothers Frank and Chauceyi- Both had escaped death. Chaucey had kept hidden in the house until the fire drove him out. He climbed down a lad- der which I had placed against the north side of the building. Desolate and destitute, I sat the remaining hours of that blackest of days by my husband's body, and fully awakened to my great loss and my life of hardship and sorrow. HISTORY IN THE MAKING LEE COHN'S NEW VAUDEVILLE THEATRE ERECTED IN THE TEAR 1913 WILL OPEN SOON TO LAWRENCE AUDIENCES -119- Old Methodist Church, Historic Structure, Hallowed by Sentiment Bv Dr. Edward Bumgardner THE first Methodist organization in Lawrence was formed in June, 1855, under the branches of a spreading oak at 80s Kentucky street. At first the class consisted of only seven members. The pioneer preacher was L. B. Dennis who a few months afterward preached the funeral sermon of Thoma.s Barber, the first distinctive martyr of the ffee state cause. Even before the official organization of the church, plans for the erection of a church building had been considered. On the 6th of July, 1855, the trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church purchased "Lot No. 34 on the east side of Vermonc street.'' The deed was "conditioned that said trustees erect or cause to be erected and built on said lot a church for the use of the Methodist Episcopal Church of America, and shall at all times forever and hereafter permit such ministers and preachers as shall by the General Conference be duly auth- orized to preach and expound God's holy word therein.'' Three days afterward the Kansas Free State said : "We hear that a church 40 x 60 will be commenced next week on Lot 34 Vermont street. The building will be of stone and is in- tended for the M. E. Church, North." The little congrega- tion had aimed too high for those troublous times, however, and the stone building did not materialize. For a while ser- vices were lield wherever a meeting place could be secured, sometimes at a private residence, sometimes in the Emigrant Aid Building which stood north of the present Lawrence National Bank, and sometimes in the Free State printing office over the Duncan store in the 700 block on the east sid'.- of Massachusetts street. At a meeting held in this printing office in December, 1855, James H. Lane made a profession of faith and applied for admission into the church on proba- tion. In the summer of 1856 a temporary structure was erect- ed which was known among the early Methodists as 'the tent.' This so-called tent is described as having been sided with rough boards, covered with canvas, and having a saw- dust floor. The oldest inhabitants are not positive in regard to its location, but it probably stood at the north end of Vermont street, near the site of the old county jail. In this primitive structure the Kansas-Nebraska Conference of the M. E. Church was organized in October, 1856. Charles J Lovejoy was appointed to have charge of the local work, which he did until the next conference met at Nebraska City in April, 1857. The Nebraska City conference sent Ira Blackford as the next pastor to the Lawrence charge. He arrived in April, 1857, and served as pastor here until April, 1858. To his pastorate belongs the honor of the erection of the first permanent Methodist church building in Lawrence His wife afterward wrote of their experiences during that conference year: "Our next work was Lawrence, an inland citv quickly grrown from the great whirlpool of contention. The people wor- shipped in a great tent spread in the centre of the city. 'Near the commencement of this conference year a storm swept awav our tent in which we worshipped. The building of a church and a place for the preacher was now thought of. Mr. Green, a classleader, built an addition of two rooms to his dwelling for us to live in for the time being. Thev sent my h\isband east as far as Indiana and Illinois to solicit aid in building. The people went to work on the building. Husband sent monev to start the work. He was absent eleven weeks. 'R'e soon had a frame house in the centre of the citv on very valuable lots. Special meetings were held for three months following the completion of the building, and the membership was increased from .SO to over 200." The church records show that "The preacher. Brother Blackford, was absent* on business for the church" at the time of the quarterly conference in August, 1857. After the destruction of the 'tent', the Methodists were favored by the Unitarians who had erected a building on Ohio street the year before. Here, during the summer of 1857, Methodist services were held on Sunday afternoons, the Unitarians holding their regular services in the forenoon. The church building that was erected under the circum- stances described by Mrs. Blackford is the central figure standing unharmed amid the ruins shown in the sketch re produced on the cover of this magazine. Remodeled and transformed into a dwelling, it still stands, and is the home of the writer. It is framed of heavy native timber, and the original part is 30 x 40 feet in size. No spot in this historic city has connected with it more diverse associations or more sacred memories. Here religion was expounded and righr living inculcated until 1865 by such men as H. H. Moore, H. D. Fisher, T. J. Ferril, L. B. Dennis and G. W. Paddock. Here patriotism and all the cardinal virtues were fostered. Here at a watchnight meeting, December 31, 1858, James H. Lane "came back to the Methodist church as he would have come to his mother for forgiveness." Here a social event of great interest took place October 3, 1858 — the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Brooks. Tradition says that the crowd was so eager to witness the ceremony and the pressure was so great that some windows were broken, and Mr. Brooks was invited the next day to pay for the broken glass. Here, during the winter of 1862-1863 Mary Colburn and Anna J Soule taught school. Here at different times Mr. Bassett and Professor Samuel J. Newhall conducted singing schools. Here the usual weekly prayer meeting was held on Thursday evening, August 20, 1863 — the last ervice for some of those who attended. On the fatal Friday that followed, the church was opened, the seats were pushed aside, and the bodies of the men who had been killed in that part of the city were taken in to be identified and prepared for burial. Robert G. Elliott remembers counting forty dead men lying on the floor at one time. When relief began to pour into the strick- en city from the surrounding country the church was made a depot for supplies. The building was the headquarters of the relief committee, where medicines, food and clothing were received from the outside world and distributed to the most needy of the survivors. The use of the building for religious services was con- tinued less than two years after this time. Before the raid it had been regarded as too small, and arrangements had al- ready been made to erect a larger building at the corner of Massachusetts and Berkeley. The work was delayed for a time, but was resumed in 1865, and a brick building was erected on the site now occupied by the Masonic Temple. The brick building was dedicated March 25, 1866, the Ver- mont street property having been sold November 15, 1865. The present occupants love the old church. To them it is hallowed by sentiment. No other building in existence has such multiform connections with the early history of Law- rence ; no other sheltered so many activities in the develop- ment of the city and of the state : no other has witnessed more exalted joy or more overwhelming grief; no other was so baptized by the blood of martyrs. The possibility oi identifying the scene of such important events should never be lost. A number of historical markers have been set up in Law^rence. Believing in the movement to establish and pre- serve the identity of spots of historic significance, the owner of the lot on which the old Methodist church stands has placed on the wall which faces Vermont street a tablet bear- ing this inscription : "Site of first Methodist Church ii- Lawrence.

SIMPSON, now General Advertising Agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway System, wrote: "When Quan- trell raided Lawrence I was five and one half years young. My father, Henry M. Simpson, then lived in West Lawrence. Back of our house was a large field of corn, growing, as Kanas corn is in the habit of doing, lustily tall and thick. That field, with its "walls cf corn," saved our lives. I well remember being hurriedly dragged into the maze of maize just as the rebels came up the front steps looking for abolitionists. The day was hot. It dawned that way. We had no water, no breakfast, and noth- ing to satisfy hunger except ears of half-green corn. The necessity for keeping quiet was impressed on my mind : bul probably I was too badly scared to make a noise, anyway. The flames from our burning house scarcely had died down when we came out of our hiding place and were taken care of by kind neighbors — glad just to be alive." o MRS. B. BRECHTELSBAUER, Lawrence, Kansas.— Was born in Bavaria Germany, and came to America on her wedding day. She is a survivor of the Quantrell raid, her husband being shot down before her eyes. Her five small children were with her at the time at the old Peter Zimmer- ^,^^^,^^^a^^^^^^mmi^mm man home in the 800 block on Connecticut Street. M r s.

OLIVER, Lanrcnc':, A'a».— Tells interestingly of some facts about Mr. and Mrs. Griswold who had returned the evening before from a visit East. Miss Oliver states : "Mrs. Griswold, with her two children, had gone in April to visit relatives in St. Charles, Minn. Dr. Griswold had gone east to bring them home. They found time to visit his mother. There friends pressed him to stay long enough for them to hold a reunion in his honor. He declined. It seems almost that they were fated in no way to escape the massacre ; they missed their train at Hannibal, and at Leavenworth found the stage already gone. They hired a carriage and overtook it, reaching Lawrence at five o'clock on the afternoon of August 20, 1863. Their bed-room was on the ground floor and early next morning they heard Mr. Trask calling to men from the upper piazza, saying : "You want to go up town and take measures for the safety of the city." Even then they did not imagine that those to whom he was speaking were guerillas. They called for Dr. Griswold and looking from her window, Mrs. Griswold saw what they were. The mount- ed outlaws asked them to go with them to the Eldridge House, promising safety. Tlic four men left the house to- gether and as they stepped through the gate, they were ordered to go in single file : then the rebels fired upon them. The men scattered, but were shot while running and fell. Dr. Griswold died almost instantly. Mr. Trask was instantly killed. Mr. Thorp died from his wounds the next day. Mr. Baker, of Kansas City, received the sec ond shot through his lungs, which however, did not provr fatal. o MAT SHAW, Kansas Cily.

This was a short distance from the river bank, and kept by a Mr. Stone. For two or three weeks previous to the raid they had been recruiting a company cf sharpshooters in Lawrence and they were camped in Xortli Lawrence by the old Baldwin Mill (since Darlings I think). It seems that Quantrell had formerly taught school in Law- rence and boarded with the Stone's, and while there he hail typhoid fever. They had taken care of and been very good to him, so that morning he said that they should be saved and all in their house and they took all of their prisoners there, so mother and we children went there; father hiding in some very tall weeds back of the house. I was with my mother and a number of others in the dining room when Lydia Stone, daughter of the proprietor, ran dodging througli the crowd and went upstairs. They had taken her diamond ring early that morning and she had gone to Quantrell and he had made them give it back. They told her they would get even with her, so had come back for it. When they could not find her they said : 'Every d — one of you conic out here,' and after they had gotten us out they lined us all Hp on the veranda — men, women and children, — and starting at one end said to the man; 'Where are you from?' He r'-- plied 'Ohio,' and they asked 'What part of Ohio?' to which question he again replied 'The southern part.' They shot him. The same was asked of the next man. He said 'From the same place, but for God's sake don't shoot.'' They shot him. The next man was one-armed Brown, whom all the old settlers knew. He held up the stump of his arm to show that he was a cripple, but he shared the fate of the other two. The next man to Brown was also shot and his blood spurted all over the lady who stood ne.xt to mother and me. Just then Mr. Stone came out of the house and walked up close to the men saying: 'Look here, I have been guaranteed protection and safety for myself and all in my house and 1 want this stopped.' They shot him. He turned around, went back into the house and died in a short time. Theri wc all made a break, jumped off the veranda and ran down tlie hill toward the ferry." o .ALEXANDER MARKS, iMzcrcnce, Kansas. — ^"I will liive you the experience of I-unice Fazon Marks, w'ho lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. T. Fazon, on Kliode Island Street in the )ix) block — there were five of tlie raiders who stopped at our house, and they ordered me to make coffee for them, which I did, and when I brought it to them, they said to me — Now, my little girl, yoi; Alfred c.

' ta°'e, they attempted to burn our house but my mother extinguished the flames." — My ex- perience is somewhat different. I, Alexander Marks, was working at that time for David Prager, who was a member of the Masonic order. Their meetings were held on Thurs- day night and he went to lodge, leaving me in the store. I closed the store and had a key to the safe. I roomed with Fred Eggert, who at that time was employed by Duncan & -Allison, and our room was over their store. Mr. .Allison said to us, 'Boys I am going to stay with you tonight, my wife went out home to her parents (Mr. and Mrs. Bengamer. Johnson who lived eight miles out in the country), and I have no way of getting in the house.' We replied, 'That's all right. When we realized the danger, it was too late to es- cape, so we remained in our room. Finally Jacob House came to our room with one of the raiders who wanted him to open the safe. Mr. House and Mr. Prager occupied the same store, and lie was looking for me, as I had the key for the safe. But I did not give it up, for I was glad of the op- portunity to get out of where we were. So I told them I would go down and open the safe for them, which I did and then one of the raiders said, 'Now give me the best watch you have.' Soon others came and took everything out of it On my way to the store I saw Mr. Sanger, who had a soap factory in Lawrence at the time, dead in front of Wm. Hasel- tine's store. Soon after Fred Eggert, now of Portland, Ore- gon came dawn and I told him that James Eldridge and James Perrine, employed by Eldridge & Ford in the room that is now occupied by J. House & Son, were dead. We re- moved their bodies, fearing fire, but the two buildings now owned by J. House & Son are the only two that remained on Massachusetts Street. We also found the bodies of Mr. Crane and Mr. Holt, partners in the shoe business, the first dead, the latter wounded. Mrs. Holt asked me to get some water to bathe her husband's wound, and I told her I would. I then returned to the store, thinking it the safest place for me." DELLA JONES PATTON, 1524 TyU-r Street, Topeka, Kansas. — "My father was David Jones, a mason by trade and a building contractor. We lived on Kentucky Street, two blocks south of Central School. My mother with us four children went out to see Rev. Brown's at the big ravine west of town. I can now see the mass of people there. I was nine years old at that time. Jim Lane one of them and Dear Mrs. Brown made all her flour into biscuits to help feed those at the house. My father stayed at our house, and saved several houses from burning in that neighborhood. Just before the yell was given for the ruffians to leave, Rev- Fisher's house was one he saved from total destruction, tlie front having burned ouc before he got there. My father dragged the preacher from the ce'lar, where Mrs. Fisher had tumbled him to save his life. Onr house was not molested." JACOB HOUSE, Lawrence, Kan., thanks City of Leaven- worth, Kan.

He found three or four cocked re- volvers thrust in his face with the comment to open the safe of David Prager, a jeweler who occupied one side of the store. Mr. House told them he had no keys, but could con- duct them to the man who owned the safe and get it, which he did. At Prager's house, Capt. Todd of the raiders order- ed coffee made, and returning drank it and wanted Mr. House to go back to Massachusetts Street with him. Just before Mr. House died he said : 'I implored him to let me remain with the Prager family, and by his consent I stayed there, with the warning for me and Mr. Prager not to show ourselves at the windows or the doors. He was not gone more than two minutes, when another came and ordered Mrs. Prager to tell us to come outside. With great presence of mind, Mrs. Prager screamed as loud as she could for the captain to return, which he did, and ordered the man away, and we both, Mr. Prager and I escaped death. I cannot close without thanking the people of Leavenworth for their more than neighborly good feelings. As soon as they heard of the great calamity which befell us, they sent several wagon loads of groceries and provisions, besides big sums of mon- ey ; I think in all, about $io,coo.oo. A few days later, Mr. Prager and family and I went to Leavenworth to stock up our stores and, while there, stopped at the Planters House. Before leaving for home we offered to pay our bi.ls for six days, but the hotel clerk refused to take our money, sa3'ing the good people of Leavenworth had paid our bills. I can- not forget such kindness, as I was, in the language of the boys, broke. Mr. Marks once said that it was fortunate for him and Eggert that I came to them. I cannot account for Mr. Allison's death." THOMAS DEE, Tofcka, Kansas.— 'l had been for some time previous rooming at the Catholic parsonage on the southwest corner of what is now Central Park. On the ev- ening before the raid, Right Rev. J. B. JNIiege, Bishop of Leavenworth, with Rev. S. Faure, then pastor at Lawrence, and Rev. J. H. Defouri of Topeka, had arrived at the house from the Osage Mission. On the following morning, the Bishop was to administer the sacrament of confirmation in the little stone church. Just about sunrise we were suddenly awakened by the firing. About a dozen were galloping around the corn field, on which the parsonage stood, shoo;- ing into the field as they advanced. Saw a niiiu named Ellis, who kept t!i; Hygims House on Mas- sachusetts Street and some of his boarders killed that way. A party of four sc: fire to a house belonging to John Dean, south of us. No one of seemed to think of escape. The Bishop and the two priests were out in the yard: on seeing their approach, advanced to meet them. A young man named Kennedy and I sat by a window, awaiting develop- ments, for we thought our time had come. We over- heard the conversation. One of them asked the Bishop, if there were any firearms on the premises He said no, at the same time telling him who he BATTLE OF BLACK JACK SURVIVORS Geo. Roe, Vinland; W. E. Barnes.

The Bishop had provided himself with a box of cigars on leaving the house, and with due French politeness liegged them to accept of some, which they very graciously did and marched off. o ■ JOHN N. DEAMER, 1945 Vermont Street— 'On Au.g- ust 20, 1863, John McFarland, his brother Thos. McFarland and I were runnin.!r a threshing machine on the Widow And- erson farm, two miles east. John went to his home that night. He returned with the news in the morning and we all got our horses and started to town. Near the Enos place, just soutli of the cemetery, we met others and all talk^-d about what to do. Most of them returned to their homes to get breakfast, but I think that after a meal with Levi Sperry, I went to town, only to see the effect of Quantrell's work. o A. J. PHILLIPS.— "On the evening of August 19, 1S6.5, I was in camp with the troops under Capt. Coleman at Little Santa Fe. We marched to join Pike's command, then start- ed across country for Lawrence. When we reached Gard- ner we received orders to continue, but kept to the south of Blue Mound, where Plumb came up and took command. We soon discovered buildings burning south of the University, property of Mr. Reynolds. We then received orders to go to Baldwin by shortest route to attack Quantrell. But we never did. My anxiety at this time was great, as I had re- cently married and left my wife at 333 Mississippi street. She remained in the house and was undisturbed." o • HENRY B. LEONARD, 503 If. 33rd St., Kansas City, Mo. — "We lived on Vermont Street, lot 114, adjoining brick house at northeast corner of Vermont and Quincy, west of the Watkins Bank. Several men stopped in front of our house and, seeing my father, said : "Come down here, old man." My father came ; for he was quick-witted and had some brogue. Tihe first word he said was that he was a Democrat and came from Kentucky. They asked him for arms or revolvers and he surrendered on old single barreled shot gun which they askked him to break. He then threw i*. down. The raiders were very thirsty for water and made father go to the well and get a pail. My mother obtained glasses. They made all of us drink of that water. My mother, fearful for me, secreted me upstairs and to gain favor, brought out two pies and a cake. After eating the pie, they made my sis- ter Sophie now Mrs.Hoene, get matches to set our house on fire and those of neighbors. My mother then commenced talking. She was English and had the English accent very pro- nounced and the head man, since known to be Geo. Todd, said his folks were English, and told my fath- er to write on the house by the door "Southern Confederacy.'' Father was a poor scribe and Tood wrote it. I saw them shoot Samuel Bowers, a brother of Mrs. Dadlee. I helped to dig the long trench at the old cemetery. I think a Mrs. John Mack was the one who fed us and gave US cofifee there. Whoever it was, she was an angel. I am seventy two years old." • o ■ G. W. E. GRIFFITH, 731 L'nion Oil Bldg., Los AngeU's. Calif. — "We had a hardware store on Massachusetts Street, adjoining the old National Bank Building, under the name of Griffith & Marcell. I had built a new house on Connecticut Street, and moved in just a month before. Early that morn- ing two men rang my door bell. When I opened they greet- ed me thus : 'We want you at your store to open the safe. Give me that watch." I obeyed their orders. They took ev- erything e.xcept my papers at the store. While they kept me busy waiting on them as a clerk, the building began to burn. I saw the guests of the Eldridge House being marched out of the hotel in a body and decided to join that company, feel- ing that they would be protected. Among these travelers were the Hon. Hugh S. Walsy, Ex-Secretary of the Terri- tory, and leading southern Democrat; Hon. Robt. S. Stevens, a prominent Democrat from Attica, N. Y., and afterwards congressman. J. C. Horton and B. W. Woodward were ir. that company. We were in some danger of being shot, when the late J. C. Horton got in some good work. He called to one of the gang : 'We want to see Col. Quantrell,' using the word colonel diplomatically. When Quantrell appeared, Mr. Horton appealed for protection, pointing to the old Durfee House. There we appeared safe under Quantrell's orders until two stragglers came along and called us out to be shot. I observed Robt. S. Stevens calmly walk towards the back entrance, jump out of the window and run up the river. 1 followed him and passed him. It occurred to me then, friv- olious as it may seem under the circumstances, that I could outrun Bob Stevens. Anson Storm and I found an old ca- noe and rowed across. When I returned to iny home, I found it in ashes. Mr. Shoales, who took refuge in a small outhouse of Mr. Fitch, a son-in-law of Mr. Wilmarth, the book-store man, was saved. The women were ordered out of Mr. Fitch's house, and he was shot at the head of the stairs and he fell down stairs, where the body burned. They would not allow him to be removed. Soon after the raid I met Geo. Ford who advised me to open up our store at once and as- sured me of credit and assistance. I rented an old building that had escaped the fire and started with my partner Jacob A. Marcell who was east at the time. Later Chas. S. Duncan and W. S. Duncan became interested under the name of Griffith, Duncan & Co. Chas. Duncan escaped, because the men happened to find a negro who took up their attention. Rev. Herron was with Duncan, hidden under a bed. At the most critical period the minister asked Mr. Duncan : 'Let us pray.' But Mr. Duncan said he had no time then to pray." o ARTHUR E. BLOOD, 61 11 Pine St.. Philadell'hia, Pa.— "I was a mere child, just barely old enough to understand the significance of the events of that day. I had retired early, but was duly awakened. Getting out to see what was the matter, when I heard father and mother talk, I found it still dark. There was a sound as though something had struck the side of the house. The something proved to be a rifle bullet, coming through the boarding and plaster and crossing the room, where it lodged in the door frame within two feet of me. Mother had a narrow escape. She was sitting in a rocking chair in the parlor, when a ball whizzed past, miss- ing her by a hair. How little I realized the seriousness is shown by the fact that I was more concerned in the damage of a toy stable through which the bullet had passed. They told me the rebels had come. The windows of our home were protected by slatted shutters and I peeped through. I saw two men in blue uniforms leaping over the fence and concealing themselves under lima bean tents in the yard. They were survivors of a small guard that had been massa- cred at the beginning of the raid. Then I saw father hide his gold watch under a hogshead full of rain water in the frame shed adjoining the house. Then we all gathered in tlie front room, father and mother, my sister Ida, now Mrs. W. J. Hasselman, Indianapolis, Indiana; brother Harry and myself, waiting in agonized suspense for the rebels. But they were busy elsewhere. It was after sunrise when Mrs. Robt. IMorrow, a neiglibor, came and urged us to leave at once, saying now was father's chance to get away. We started across the street, west, when a large man on horse- back reined his horse up beside us, saying: 'I am Capt. Dick Nolan and I have killed nine of you this morning; hand over your money and jewelry.' Father and mother complied. As Nolan opened a small jewel box, mother spied a gold breast- pin, containing my picture, and asked him to let her keep it. He did, and I have it yet. For some reason he did not shoot father, but rode off. We remained away at a country house until about four o'clock, when we returned expecting to find our house in ruins. We were agreeably surprised. Father found his watch safe. Mrs. Morrow saved our house, after they had set fire to beds, etc., and also her own by telling them that she had two brothers in the Confederate army. I am a son of Col. James Blood, and now on the Philadelphia Bulletin. MRS. M. C. JONES, Dezvey, Okla.~"\ was Miss Mag- gie Stevens, sister of Mrs. Henry Brown, who then lived on Quincy Street, where the court house now stands. They tried to burn our house several times but we, together with Tillie Chalman who was working for my sister, worked to put 'the fire out each time. Mr. Brown who was sheriff of Douglas County at that time, was sought by them, but he suc- ceeded in hiding under the fioor by means of a trap door un- der the stairway carpet. Lewis Brown, their son, was a babe at tlie time of the raid. He now lives at Garden City, Kansas. G GROVENOR, Lawrence, Kansas. — Was in the gro- cery business with his brother Henry at the time of the raid at 858 Massachusetts Street. G. Grovenor is a native of Suffield, Connecticut, came to Lawrence with his brother in 1857. Mr. Grovenor brought with him his wife whom he had married on October 28, 1852, and who was a Miss Ellen Maria Crane. He erected a store and house combination building on the north half of the lot he had purchased and .'\lexander Lewis became his partner in the grocery business. They also sold boots, belonging to John L. Crane, Mr. Grove- nor's brother-in-law, on commission. In 1859 Lewis sold his interest to Henry T. Grovenor. The two brothers added lumber to their business. In October, 1863 they dissolved, G. Grovenor leaving to start in the lumber business and the brother keeping the grocery. In 1866 G. Grovenor moved his yards to Massachusetts and Berkeley Street. It had pre- viously been at Warren Street, where the Peoples State Bank now stands. In September, 1871 the firm became known as Grovenor & Redington, with E. D. Reddington as junior partner. In 1875 Mr. Grovenor bought out Redington and started his son Charles to work on a salary. On January i, 1882 the firm changed to G. Grovenor & Son. In the spring of 1889 Charles became sick and they sold out their business. Several years after his first wife's death G Grovenor mar- ried L. Maria Cliff, of Wiibraham, Massachusetts, on May 22, 1871. Mr. Grovenor has always been a respected citizen. Was in the City Council in i860 and 1861. on the scho-il board two years from 1863, mayor in 1865, in 1870 and again in 1S71. In May 1893 he was appointed Comity Commission- er to fill a vacancy. For more than twenty-five years he has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the university at Ottawa, a Baptist institution. Several times he was its presi- —125 dent It is due to Mr. Grovenor's good judgment that a pic- ture of the old log cabin, the first real house in Lawrence and bunt in the summer of 1854 by Chas. Sterns, has been pre- sented In 1865 the 150th Anniversary of the settlement of the first pastor in his old town in Connecticut was obsen,'ed. No picture of the first Meeting House or church could be found and one had to be drawn from memory. The old log cabin here was going to pieces slowly but surely and Mr Groyernor ordered Lamont & Durand to make a photograph of it and also an enlarged copy, which he framed and presented to the city council at once. Mr. Grovenor is beloved and benevolent, but his photograph of the old log cabin will make his memory everlasting in this citv. Mr. Grovenor's home at New Hamp- shire and Berkeley was burned at the time of the raid. LAURA HELLSTROM, R. F. D., S. Lawrence.— I was working at Sutlift's tailor sliop and boarding with a family by the name of Letter. My father and brother were working at the Wind Mill which was then under construction. My father was shot twice, but survived. His name was L. Johnson and he had lived here since 1857. My husband, Rudolph Hellstrom, came to Lawrence about noon and helped to clear the debris. THE FAMILIES OF JOSEPH EBERHART,— Henry Hemp- hill. John Banks, Geo. Conway, Mr. Dean, Robt. McFarland, James Banks, Henry Eberhart and Mr. Sowers, left their old homes in Pennsylvania on March 10, 1.S54. They took passage on a steamboat down the Alleghany, then into the Ohio and the Mississippi, until they reached St. Louis. Here they em- barked for Kansas City, Mo., arriving on April 10, 1S54, Three families had become discouraged and returned home from Kansas Citv. The Eberhart family remained in Kansas City until June 9. 1S54, when four of the sons, Henry, Louis, Paul and Andrew pushed on into Kansas, arriving in due time on the spot, where Lawrence now stands. TTiey located where Pleasant Grove now is. The Robert McFarland family settle! east of Lawrence. After completing a log cabin, two of the Eberhart boys, Henry and Andrew, returned to bring the entire family on. Joseph Eberhart was in Lawrence three day.-s before Quantrell's raid and warned the citizens of their danger. A pro-slavery man had given him information. ELISE ENGELSMANN WILLEMSEN, 2S16 Lafayette Ave., St. Louis, Mo. — I lived with my parents on Massachusetts Street, south of Henry. The first noor was used for the gro- cery business of my father, Frederick Engelsmann. He and my uncle. William, and his son. Phillip, fled from the house and father called back: "Give them the keys to the store if they want them." Mother and I were left alone. Looking out at the back of the house I saw Captain Bell on his horsed surrounded, and I saw them shoot him. Soon we had to flee on account of the Are. Several hours later my cousin was brought to us and he died the next day. The others escaped. My husband. Colonel Charles Willemsen had a business on the east side of Massachusetts Street, near tlie river, at that time. MRS. I. J. WILLIAMS, 522 East Main Street, Indepen- dence, Kansas. — My parents. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Simmons, and my brothers, J. C. Simmons (now of WellsviUe. Kansas), and Charles N. Simmons, of Ridgley. Mo., came to Lawrence in 1S57. In '61 my father kept a feed store and about this time built Orbondale east of town. Quantrell stopped at our home, taking the horses, but doing no harm to the household. My father was away. MRS. MART (CARPENTERi R.^NKIN. Quenemo, Kansas. — W^e were living on Rliode Island Street in a house just fin- ished and had been married ten months. When two of the raiders called at our house and saw my husband, they tired \ shot at him and after his race through the yard they fired a second shot. Of what passed around us I know and remember niithing, until I sat beside the body of my husband and saw him in a rude coffin and laid away in a corner of our yard. S. H. SIMPSON. The Arlington, Santa Barbara, Cal. — Thirty or forty men gathered on Massachusetts Street, as soon as the rebels were leaving. The little crowd elected me to take charge of the city. LOUISE OESCH WIEDEMANN, then at GSS Massachu- setts Street. — My cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Preisach and family, Mr. Stick, his partner, my parents. Mr. and Mrs. Oesch, two sisters and I lived in a frame building, on the site marked fi.?*) Massachusetts Street. The first story was the furniture sto.-e owned by Stick & Preisach. A stone liouse to the south of us checked the flames and saved our hou.se. All our men escaped deatli. o FRED EGGERT. Portland, Ore. — I was in the employ of Duncan and Allison who conducted a general merchandise store. Mr. Allison, A. Marks and I occupied the ro-^tf of the annex, it being a hot night. Jacob House came to get A. Marks to opeii the safe. Some raiders were with him. They also ordered Mr. Allison to go down into the store and open his safe. He went with them, but refused to open the safe, saying he didn't have the key. They said, "you are a d liar," and shot him. I could hear all this because tliey talked very loud. They soon had the safe open. Then one came back upstairs where I was, not knowing what to do. He told me to come with liim and I would be safe. As soon as we reached the lower floor, anotlier tried to shoot me, but my man prevented it. They asked me how to open the inner part of the safe and they took $1S5.00, as well as I can remember. I finally escaped. MRS D. L. Kretsinger, daughter of Wm. Brass.— I had gone to Lawrence that week to attend school, boarding with John Shimmons and rooming wit^ his daughter, Nellie, loung Jim Lane came over. He hurriedly put on one of my dresses and a sun bonnet and assisted us in carrying food out of the house He was not recognized as a boy and I have always felt that his disguise saved his life. I think I can safely say that I also saved a Mr. Eaton's life. o MBS N O. STEVENS. Northport, Mich.- My parents, Mr. and Mrs "Weslev H. Duncan, lived where the Watkms Bank now stands. Mv father had a store, I think, near where Smith's Undertaking establishment stood later, possiljly a few doors north. Thev asked fatlier to show them where his store was and thev wouldn't shoot him. We lost the store and the stock, and $8,000.00 in gold. Chas. S. Duncan's family had more trying experiences. o W E. MONROE, 410 East 7th Street. Shawnee. Okla.— Mother, my brother, James H.. and I were at liome. Father was in the U. S. service. We succeeded in persuading a party not to burn the home of Mrs. Wm. Lee. the wife of Billy, a local shoemaker, whom we succeeded in hiding in the attic. They were looking for us because our father was a scout and he had captured two sisters of Bill Anderson's, one of Quan- trell's men, who were hurt in a building in Kansas City. Mo., wliicli was used as a prison and which collapsed. A German woman whom they asked told them we had moved out of the state. Rather a fortunate lie for us. MARG.\RET DUNCAN GREGG. Honolulu. H. T.— I can only speak of Mrs. Charles S. Duncan, my mother, who saved the life of the Rev. Thos. A. Parker by hiding him under a trundle bed. where the children usually slept. They did not suspect a man could hide under it. We lived at the corner of W'inthrop and Louisiana. When the house was burned, she called Dr. Parker. My mother and I. at her signal, raised a carpet and gave it a shake. Dr. Parker dropping to the ground. W^e threw the carpet over him and dragged it away from the home, he creeping along under it. until my mother gave him the signal to stop and then we threw all the things we had saved in a pile on top of him. o • Mrs. C. O. BOWMAN, daughter of James H. Gleason. — Has a copy of a letter written by lier father to Joanna, his wife, w-ho was visiting in the east. The letter is dated at W^il- low Springs. Kansas. August 30, 1863. In it he says; "I sup- pose you have heard aljout the burning of Lawrence in our neighborhood. Mrs. Prentice (mother of C. T. K. Prentice) said she would write you last Monday. I started to mill early that morning. On the way I heard tliey were burning Law- rence. I went on to the rnill and unloaded my grain, then started home. I took some footmen and carried them to Dalazes. wliere our boys were forming a line to protect Pal- myra and Prairie City. I got as far as McKinny's when I saw my house, stable and stacks on fire. I met some of tlie neighbors and Perry Ramsey (W. P. Ramsey, now living at Bethel. Kansas), and he said he saw my folks leaving the house. Later I saw them firing McKinny's house. In the evening I roasted some corn for supper, tlien went to Dr. Still's (now at Kirksville, Mo.) whose house was hidden by a corn field and not burned. Here I found sisters Annis and Lyda. MRS. J. B. Sutliff. 1026 7th Ave.. West. Seattle, Wash.— My husband was not killed, he being awav on business and our home was not liurned. I saw Mr. Griffith and told him to run to the ravine. He reached it and saved his life. I had to warn Mrs. Griffith to keep away from him. I can hear the pounding of nails yet. for Ira Brown and Hiram Towne made coffins for two nights in their shop just across the alley from my home. ROBT. WOOLDRIDGE. Neoga, 111.— I lived on the north side of the river and ran a ferry boat for Baldwin & Co. On the evening before the raid I had brought my boats over and locked them on the north side. I was the first man from the north side to take a skiff and go to the south side. I returned and then Baldwin, in whose employ I was. and who was home from the army on furlough, told me to go across and see what had become of John Gill and Geo. Coach, relatives. The first man I saw was Sheriff W'illiams, who was dead. LAWRENCE. KAN., THE DAT AFT'ER THE RAID— Was a desolate city, as is shown in the view, reproduced on the cover title page from an edition of Harper's Weekly (New Tork) that appeared in 1S63 after the raid. Onlv the building occu- pied by Jacob House was standing on Massachusetts Street: the old Methodist Church, used as a morgue, can also be seen T1ien the rebuilding was a task. Today the Lawrence Planing Mill within a few days alone could talte care of the woiic. necessary at that time. It is a marvelous advance in the in- dustrial activities of the city. And this puts me in mind that even strangers in Lawrence boost for the good of the town. Recently I stood in Carroll's Store, formerly known as Smith's News Depot, and by A. D. Carroll, who now owns this old establishment w'as introduced to James M. Mitche'I with these words: "Mr. Held, do >'0u know Mr. Mitchell of the Arts and Crafts Store and Beauty Sliop?" I replied, yes. for I had rea- son to know that Mr. Mitchell is a live wire, though not a native of Lawrence. Mr. Mitchell purchased the store within the past year. He was on the road for an Eastern stove man- ufacturing concern and didn't need the store: for that matter he does not need it now. as he still travels for his firm. He has made big improvements, but a few days ago he told me that he feels repaid for everything he has done in tills town. And I. therefore, now conclude that the stories that only an old-timer can make good here are unfounded. The newcomer is welcomed here by the old-timer and both meet on the same level for the good of the city and iier future. -126- 0- -H I Men and Women, Boys and Girls Survived the Lawrence i Massacre.
