AUGSBURG SEMINARY,

The above educational institution
was founded in 1869 at Marshall,
WIS., but the founders, foreseeing the
Importance of Minneapolis as the flu
ture metropolis of the northwest, as
we'll as the center Of the Scandinavian
population of this country, decided in
1872 to move to this city.
From a small beginning, and hay-
ing experienced the struggles and
changing fortunes common to most
new American colleges, Augsburg
seminary has steadily grown strong
and for several years past it has been
able to give it's students complete col
lege and theological courses. It's

ably edited. ! can't remember, after
the first few issues, when 1t has not

itor at my home"
Mr.. Nelson says that the leading
citizens. Of the earlier days, about the
time The ournal was founded,
believed firmly in the city's' future,
altho nobody dreamed that by the end
of the century it was to occupy the
prominent place it did in the life of
the northwest. The water power in
the early days he thinks was over
estimated, but everybody knew that
of a manufacturing city. The city was
the right distance from Chicago, and
had wonderfully rich territory from
which to draw sustenance.
II came here in 1865 Mr.. Nelson
continued, intending to locate in St.
Paul. One afternoon I rode UP to
st. Anthony, and remember lying on
the grass on the university campus,
the falls spread out before me. / was
not long in making UP my mind that
this would be a better location for me
than st. Paul, and so made home
on the east side of the, river. 1t is
step which never have regretted.
II got into contest the year after
my arrival, for not al1gof the citizens
OF those days We're as optimistic as
those whose opinions finally prevailed
and helped in shaping the destinies
of the young city. There was a city
election, to decide whether Nicollet is
land should be acquired for park pur-
poses. We lost by eighty-three votes,
due chiefly to the energetic opposi-
ton. of Judge Bebee and John Thomp-
son. At that time there was a strong
conservative element here among BUSH
ness men, and whenever one of the
progressive fellows wanted to reach
out. and do something for the up
building of the place, he was solemn
~ warned not to forget ST, the year
OF the last financial panic. The mem

nc mind, and caused many OF our
cltlzens to move slowly in the matter

the center of the town, to the st. Paul

BY 1878 we had a line to the uniyer-
sity, and another down Washington
avenue. There were no lines in those
days out Hennepin, First avenue or
the streets parallel with them, for the
town lay along the river, and did not
reach out very far to the south. There

THE ORIGINAL
SUBSCRIBER
B. F. Nelson Recalls Interesting
Events Of the Early Days.

B. r. Nelson was a member Of the
city council at the time r h j o ur-
n a was founded, and became a SUBJ
scriber almost with the first issue.
T h Re J o,ur-n al was the only evening
newspaper in the city, and Mr.. Nelson,
then as NOW, preferred to have. the
news Of the day served to him In the
evening. when there was time to read
and understand it, rather than In the
morning; besides which, he was in
public life, and was anxious to know
what the newspaper was going to say
about city affairs. AS he remembers
it, The ournal was started
primarily for the purpose Of captur-
Ing the city printing, which for years
had been given the Tribune. From
this point Of view, 1t was a success,
for the city printing contract was
awarded it very speedily.
cit was a good newspaper from the
start said Mr.. Nelson the other day,
while discussing the old times "and
it's circulation was not long In rum
ming up to very respectable figure.
1t always has stood for high ideals

Postoffice at Southwest Harbor Re
Iieved of Cash and Stamps.
Burglars entered the postoffice at South
west Harbor Friday night, blew open the
safe and walked off with about 1900 In
stamps and money.
1t is supposed to have been the work OF
professionals as all plans seem to have
been laid witch great care. The thieves
entered the carriage shop OF William
Tower and secured the drill and other
tools. From Randsli's stable they secured
about 500 wort h OF blankets.
The work was done so ski,lfuily that
not sound was heard. In the safe, which
was completely demolished, were about
10 600 two cent stamps and 5000 one-cent
stamps, besides several cashed money
orders.
Entrance was made by breaking the
lock on the front door. This was found
wide open about O'Clock the next morn
ing by passerby.
John 6. Ralph, the postmaster, Will be
a heavy loser by the job, as he had about
$3.50 in excess OF what the government
allows, and consequently this is loss to
him.
lice are hard at work on the case, put
there seems to be little probab iiity OF
success. The affair brings to mind Sim

Adelbert Torrey, OF Atlantic, nearly lost
his life. and only by the heroic tfforts of
those who saw his plight was he saved.
While Mr.. Torrey was at tue Goose Go .
factory to get bis usual supply OF bait,
the wind had increased into a gale, but
with a threereefed sail he thought he
could reach home. The wind and tide
made the sea run very high, but squsll
rendered the boat manageable. A sea
rolled over her, and she Immediately sank
in that seetbirg tide and sea.
Mr. Torrey jumped overheard to try to
catch the skiff that WAS at the boats
stern. While in the water he got out his
knife to cut the painter from the sinking
boat: he got 1t partly cut off when he
dropped the knife, but the painter was
cut enough so 1t parted as the boat went
down.
The skiff he'd been overturned and Mr..
Torrey tried in vain to get upon her hot
tom. Finally he righted her, but as she
was fell OF water he could only sit on the
bow, each sea rolling over his head.
The accident was seen from the shore,
and as promptly rs possible men went to
his rescue, " hlch was no easy matter In
the face OF the rising gale Crowds OF
people on the shore watched the uneven
contest, unable to render ANY assistance.
Finally the rescuing boat reached him.
He could not have hung on many min
utes longer, as he was partially uncon-
scious, and made no effort to avoid the
seas that were continually sweeping over
him. Quite an effort had to be made to
break his hold. He was taken home, and
everyt hing possible done for his comfort.
He soon revived, and Is now doing nicely.
His boat was a Friendship built craft
and cost s400. Several boats were sweep
ing for her Saturday, but no traces were
found.
