"REMINISCENCES.

II congratulate T II e o u / II. al
upon it's reaching the age Twenty
five years. said A. T. Ankeny, sone
of the papers original subscribers
What a span is thus covered in the;
life and development of Minneapolis.
Then our population was about 45,o00;
now it is fully five times as much.sg
Doubtless, even such a growth is
a disappointment to many an enthus-.
iastic citizen of the earlier, days. By
the unerring law of compensation,
however, it was never intended that
growth should be continuous, for did
not the pendulum swing to the other
be preserved. That awful avalanche
which came down upon us in 1893
sadly crushed our material interests
as, well as extinguished our fondest
hopes but the. result was to place the
foundation upon a more secure basis.
and thus give assurance of a future
great and prosperous city. Thus after
it is all over, we may say, sweet are
the uses Of .adversity.'
81 we'll remember the establishing
of T n e j o urna |, and have ever
since read it with increasing interest:

or even a city, the railway is the first
Of civilizers, the daily newspaper may
safely claim to be the second, It
chronicles the daily life, it interprets
the living present, it inspires the ara
dent hope for the future success, with
out which success can never be at
tanned. There must ever be a stim-
illus to moral action to work out any
sort Of destiny. That this has been
the aim as we'll as the result of T h e
o u T n a l > S work in all these years
is only to repeat history.
'sWhen first became a resident Of
Minneapolis, in 1872, and on Third
street, near Second avenue N, there
was not a sidewalk along the entire

engaged. The depression caused by

VERSIONS or pete" Bakke's mustangs;
or the snow ball fight on First avenue
when SwingIer Soaked" a policeman
who stalked around the corner in time
to meet a fierce but misdirected ball.
This ended the snow ball fight, and
it nearly stopped Til Re j our N a l.
The boys scattered over the central
portion of the city, and when they
came back the policeman, his dig
nifty very much ruffled, was sitting
doggedly in front of II h e j o u r n a |
hands on something in the shape of
boy, on which to wreak his vengeance.
In some way the papers were obtained
and the carriers got safely away.
The really great event was the
strike" 1t may have been on Thanks
of July or Christmas of that year-no
one can remember exactly; but there
was Il strike, and it was on a holiday,
and it was because of the holiday that
it came.
AS usual, there was a long wait for
the press to start, and the carriers had
ample chance to vent their Indignation
over being deprived of their right to
celebrate a national holiday. The
more the boys talked the angrier they
became, until when some one proposed
that all go home it was seconded at
once and off the boys started. There
were no Journals read that night.
Everyone expected a summary dis
charge the next night, or at least a
good scolding, but w. H. Van Norman,
as kindly a gentleman as ever under
took to handle a crowd OF boisterous
youths, didn't speak an unkind word
about the affair. He is long since
dead as is Jack Radcliff, the first cir
culator. The old time carriers were
a harder breed, it seems; for SO far
as is known, every last one is alive and
kicking.

of the founders of the paper, brought
him the fourth copy from the press.
This makes Mr.. Rossman about the
oldest original subscriber of whom any
record has been preserved. No doubt
the first three copies were looked over
by the new proprietors and the edi-
tors, and did not go to the public. Mr..
Rossman, therefore, is deserving of
special mention in an edition such as
this one. He says that he has taken

and, of course, could not be replaced.
1t is known, however, that for several
weeks prior to the publication of the
first issue T h e j gu n manage
ment sent a number of canvassers thru
the residence sections Of town, and
that these canvassers were quite sue
cessful Several Of them are still liv-
ing in Minneapolis, and they think that
the first issue of the paper numbered
several hundred copies to regular sub
scribers, possibly as many as 400, but,
of course, this is largely guess work.
Who these early subscribers were,
nobody will ever know. Many of them
are dead, of course; many others have
gone away from the city; a number of
others still remain. Thru a request
which was published at the head of the
editorial page of T h e Jour n a, | for
several weeks prior to this anniversary
issue, the names of several score lOf
these original subscribers have been
secured. No doubt there are many
more who have failed to respond to
the request to send in their names.
AS long as this issue Is in honor of
T h e j urna g silver anniversary,
it is perhaps appropriate to head the
list of original subscribers with the
names of the men who had something
to do with getting out the first issue.
A. H. Runge, twenty-five years ago,
was employed as engineer for T h e
J urn al, and he got up steam and
| had charge of the engine which fur
| nished power for the press which ran
off the first issue and many subse-
quent ones. Mr.. Runge has lived in
Minneapolis for a great many years,
but to the younger generation and the
later Corners he Is best known as a
former chief Of the fire department
and as a captain of police under the
administration of DR.. Ames.

Too vnncla bread.

DIR. Jas. o. Ray tells the follow
ing "good one" on promising
youth Of our town, who is not very
distantly related to the doctor.
The story goes that a fishing par
ty was suggested by several friends
OF the young man, aud he being
very fond of the sport, readily
agreed that an outing was in order.
But there are sundry things that
go with a fishing party, and it was
found that, after careful invento-
nv of the pockets of the crowd,
the aforesaid young man was the
only one, who had any of the nec-
essary wherewithal, and that this
consisted OF a single silver dollar.
Being of liberal turn OF mind, he
at once turned over the shining
piece of silver to Paul Comeau, the
trusty cook, telling him to ''get
what was needed.
Soon Paul returned with 80 cents
worth OF whiskey and 10 cents
worth OF bread, and proudly laid
the purchases before the young
man.
One glance at the packages con-
vinced the young man that Paul
was not as apt at the business as
he used to be, and his remark was
as emphatic as it was felt, when hs
fowled out:
aWhat in the devil are you GO
ing to do with all that bread?'
