ers would wonder how long the new priest
would stay, and the change of pastors al
most passed into proverb. Not that Bishop
O'Gorman was a hard man, but he had
learned his lesson in a different school and
would have been, II possible, both bishop
and parish priest.
Life in the monastery had produced an
effect upon the actions and thought OF
Bishop O'Gorman which was never eff
faced. His surviving friends say that with
all of his learning and his ability he was
extremely difhdent, shrinking from crowds
and the plaudits of the people. He made
one visit to Rome, accompanied by Rev.
William ]. Kelley, who had been ordained
as priest by him, the first man to be or
dained in the territory. Upon that visit he
soon became tired and returned to
the United States in a short time.
After he had been in the vicariate but a
few years he made up his mind to retire
from active work and spend his declining
years in retirement. This he was not per-
mitted to do. Many people of Omaha well
remember when, on July 4, 1874, Bishop
O'Gorman died. The majority of the citi-
zens had visited a grove near the city -
celebrate the day when a messenger an
nounced the death of the bishop, which was
unexpected, the result of a sudden seizure.
Gentle James O'COnnOr.
The second bishop of the Roman Catholic
church in this territory and the first bishop
of Omaha was the learned and gentle
James O'Connor. He came to Omaha in 1876,
two years after the death OF his predeces-
sor, and from that date the progress OF the
church was marked. All of his actions In
the capacity OF bishop we're marked by h
firm faith in humanity and in the future or
the city to which he had been sent by his
superiors, He located Creighton college ana
transferred 1t to the Society of Jesus; un-
der his administration all Of the various
orders now In the diocese came to the state
with the exception OF the Sisters of Mercy,
who came a few years previous TO his ar
rival. 1t was said OF him by a former
mayor of Omaha: Had l had Bishop
O'Connor as a partner in my real estate
business We would both have been mil
lionaires." His rule was light and his views
OF life not narrow. A typical act OF his
was the advice given a party which was or
ganizlng a Catholic society In the city and
who had called upon him for advice: MY
children, use your own good sense, add to
your experience good business judgment and
keep away from the clergy"
His foresight and courage resulted in Civ
ing the church the possession Of real es-
tate which has increased in value every
day since 1t was purchased and made II
comparatively wealthy when the total
Catholic population is considered. 1t was
October 2. 1885. that the see Of omaha was
first created and Bishop O'Connor trans
ferred to Il. He died In 1890, after an ILL
ness Of one year, during which time he WIS.,
tied many places in search Of health, and
returned TO Omaha to die in his diocese,
making the last journey in spite OF the ad-
vice OF physicians. Catholics and non
Catholics we'll remember the kindly man
who, while never seeking prominence nor
attracting attention to himself, was ever
ready with advice and council; who would

territory was Bishop Kemper, who resided
In Wisconsin and to whom was given the
entire Northwestern Territory. He was
succeeded by Bishop Talbot, who upon
being assigned to the Northwestern Terri
tory resided for a while at Nebraska City.
being the first bishop of that church to take
up a residence within the state. Bishop
Talbot continued in charge until 1865. when

Rt. Rev. Robert Harper ClaTkson, then
a minister in a Chicago church, was elected
missionary bishop of Nebraska and Dakota,
being the third missionary bishop of the
territory. Three years later the diocese of
Nebraska was created and Bishop Clark
son unanimously elected to fill the new
diocese, being the second bishop of any
church to reside in Omaha and the first
to be consecrated within the state.
Bishop Clarkson lives today in the monu-
ments he has erected for the people and
the church. Men who were his associates
and assistants from the day he arrived in
Omaha until the close of his career in 1883
hold green his memory and delight to tell
of the many instances of faith, good will
and courage shown by the first Episcopal
bishop of Nebraska. When he came into
the diocese a few parishes along the river
and a growing community in Oman was
about all there was to the church under
his guidance, with the exception of scat
tered members of the faith in a dozen coun-
ties of the interior and isolated churches
in some of the smaller towns. The new
bishop had become familiar with the work
of organization and no better evidence of
his ability could be shown than the condi-
tion of the church at the time when he lay
down his work.
His Memory Is Fragrant.
His friends of the earlier days delight
to tell Of the spirit with which he managed
affairs and the genial way in which he
touched all conditions of men. His was a
happy disposition, which shone bright when
surrounded by a few of his intimates, when
no laugh could be louder and no jest mer-
rier than that of the bishop who would
turn from such a scene to administer to
the destitute and suffering, making all feel
better for his words and presence. His
greatest interest was shown latterly In the
Child's hospital, which has since been con-
secrated to his memory as the Bishop
Clarkson Memorial hospital. 1t was at the
time Of his last illness the one thing
which attracted his waking moments after
the general affairs of the diocese had been
provided for, and his tenderness and
affection for children Of all classes and
conditions was one of his notable charac-
t~eristics. When he died the entire city
mourned and the day Of his funeral was one
upon which the entire community showed
their love and respect for the memory of
the first bishop Of Nebraska.
Bishop John Il. Newman.
At this time three churches maintain
resident bishops in the state, and all of
them have had at least two. The first
bishop OF the Methodist Episcopal church
TO reside in the state was Rev. John P.
Newman, a man of far more than unusual
ability and one whose interest in the com
munlty was shown upon many occasions,
out on none more than when he organized
e the movement which brought to this city
1 the general conference Of the Methodist
E church in 1892. No other man probably

The spikes upon the flag poles at the fed

Of several national banners before their

The spikes were placed upon the poles as

that portion Of the building and when the
custodian made application to have them
removed he met with some opposition upon
esthetic grounds. However. when a~pplica-
