Press Upon Which the Herald Was First Printed,
Being the First Press Brought Into Minnesota
For nearly three years the Simonton bro
theirs did all their own work, setting up the
entire paper by hand. In those days the
people expected a paper to print the Presi
dental and Gubernatorial messages in full
and extended notices of congressional and
state legislative proceedings. During the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870, and Reil's re-
bellion several columns of war news had to
be set up each week, which often entailed
working far into the night.
The press was worked by hand and linked
by hand. Hon. N. H. Miner who always
took a great deal of interest in the Herald,
rolled the forms for the first issue and later
on Oliver Boobar acted as ink boy.
Advertising rates we're nominally about
the same as they are now. An advertisement
once placed was seldom altered, some rum
ming three or four years without change
Rhyming ads were popular. The Herald ran
a rhyme ad for clothing store for three
or four years without change. Locals were
five cents line and were seldom used and
still more seldom paid for. All ads were TAX
en- out in trade, and if an advertiser had Of
fered to pay cash for an ad., the editor
would have probably dropped dead.
The first job press was operated by a hand
lever, later Globe jobber was bought from
which work could be kicked off; job work
was very light; there were no farm auction
bills; very few business men used printed
letterheads, and job work was confined al
most entirely to hand bills and advertising
travelling troupes and itinerant peddlers and
merchants.
During all the time the Sinonton Brothers
ran the Herald the subscription price was
maintained at $500, and, as was the common
newspaper practice of that day, it was pay
able in any old thing; venison, beef, butter,
eggs, lard, wood flour, feed, grain of all
kinds; in fact it would be hard to name any
article that was not legal tender for SUBJ
scriptions. At times in the fall the office re-
sembed a miniature grain elevator; some
times it was so crowded with sacks of flour
that there was hardly room to work. In the
summer time everybody paid in wood and in
winter, when wood was an essential of life,
no wood was brought in. One good old lady
always paid the family subscription in stock
ing yarn which she carded and spun herself.
No wedding was complete until the newly
weds had sent the printers huge hunk Of
wedding cake and in return they were ex-
pected to print an extended wedding notice
stating that the "bride was as beautiful as
a dream" and the groom was zone of the
most popular and best liked young men in
the community"
A newspaper in those days was regarded
more as an object of charity than business.
Everybody donated piece of something

on Frederic's face.

Slowly Frederic's eyes opened
again. They wavered from one face
to the other and there was in them the
unsolvable mystery of divination. As
the lids dropped once more, Brood's
manner underwent a tremendous
change. The stupefaction of horror
and doubt fell away in a flash and he
was again the clear-headed, indomit-
able man of action. The blood rushed
back into his veins, his eyes flashed
with the returning fire of hope, his
voice was steady, sharp, commanding.

shuddering word that came not from

Slowly Brood's mind worked out Of
the maze His shot had gone straight
but Frederic himself had leaped into
its path to save this miserable crea
ture who would have damned his
soul if life had been spared to him.
Ranjab crawled to his side, his eyes
covered with one arm, the other ex
tended. Blindly the master felt for the
pistol, not once removing his eyes
from the pallid figure against the table.
His fingers closed upon the weapon.
Then the Hindu looked up, warned by
the strange voice that spoke to him
from the mind of his master. He saw
the arm slowly extend itself with a
sinister hand directed straight at the
unconscious figure of the woman. This

had time to spring to his feet and

not finish the sentence, but his strong,
