CONCERTS AT SPRINGS PARK.

There will be several attractions
which are ont of the ordinary offered at
Brandywine Springs Park next week.
On Sunday Dorothy d. Young. we'll
known as a contralto solcist, will sing
afternoon and evening in connection
with the free band concerts II will be
the first time that this popular soloist
has sung at the park. and it is expected
that large number of people will be
anxious to hear her.
Another big attraction will be the
appearance OF Captain Sidney Hinman
and his Dumb Heroes, in an exhibition
each afternoon and evening on the lake
This exhibition will be free to the pa
irons Of the park. Captain Hinman has
a number of life saving dogs which give
an exhibition which is far out of the or
dinary and are we'll worth seeing Il is
felt that Brandywine Springs has been
fortunate in securing them.
Next week the Henry & Young Nusi-
cal Comedy Company will have another
big bill in the Park Theatre with a new
musical comedy which is expected to
eclipse the excellent one which is now
being given. The company is making a
decided hit at the park.

of the newspaper problems of the early days
was how to dispose of donations of game and
fish without injuring the feelings of the do
natOrS
About the only source of cash revenue was
the legal publications. Fortunately this was
prolific source compared to the present time.
Land office notices were plentiful. At one
time the Herald was the official paper of
Pope, Grant, Todd, Morrison, Otter Tail and
Stevens counties; and once it put one over
on st. Cloud, in late years, and secured the
Stearns county printing.
When the Herald was established the
nearest railroad point was st. Cloud; all sup
plies were freighted in by team and all pas
sengers came out by stage. Matt Schiefer
and Hugh Biggerstaff are the best remem-
bered stage drivers, who, at that time, were
veritable kings of the road. The Sank Cen
tire House, on the present Palmer House site,
was the best second-class hotel in the CITY,
there were no frst-class hotels in those days.
It's rates were $1.OO day, regular board
$3.50 per week and those who could afford to
put up there were regarded as "aristocrats"
or "big bugs"
The Simonton Bros were typical frontier
newspaper men who could not be daunted
by DANGERS disheartened by obstacles or
crushed by disappointments. 1t was fight
for existence from the beginning but the Her
aid pulled through the flood disaster of 1867,
the lean grasshopper years and by sheer per-
sistence and indomitable pluck they turned
over to their successors a fourishing and
prosperous country paper.
Some brilliant men have presided over the
destines of the Herald since it's beginning,
but none more brilliant and versatile than
Charles F. Hendryx, who occupied the editor
ial chair from 1879 to 1908, and who was
one of the leaders of Minnesota country
newspaperdom for many years and who in
marked degree possessed the strength, the
weaknesses, the virtues and eccentricities of
the old time newspaper genius.
Charles F. Hendryx was born in Coopers-
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-11-04

Sunday, which, as he naively remarks, "is
going some for 68-year-old layman."
Mr. and Mrs. Hendryx have three children,
all born in Sank Centre. Anna, teacher at
Fort Thomas, KY; James Beardsley, Sue
cessful author and writer of short stories,
being regular contributor to Munsey's, The
All Story, The American Boy, and other
we'll known magazines. His first long novel,
"The Promise has just been issued by the
we'll known Putnam Bros. Pub. Co., of N. Y.
City, and has met with good sale. Incident
ally it might be mentioned that James B.
was married on Oct. 9th, to Miss Hermione
Flagler, noted musician and for the last two
years musical director in Stonewall Jackson
College at Abingdon, Va; and Myra is now
the wife of Major John C. Cakes, now in
charge Of the government river work at
Louisville, KY.
Mr.. Hendryx' connection with the Herald
can best be told in his own words:
"While on the editorial staff of the Minneapolis
Tribune, in 1879, became acquainted with Captain
A. Barto, then just retiring from the office of Lieu
tenant Governor, and he suggested that purchase
the Herald, then offered for sale by the Simonton
Brothers. @
= In July 1879, together with my wife, made pre-
liminary trip to Sank Centre, leaving Minneapolis
in the early evening and arriving at destination
long after midnight, travelling the old St. Paul
and Pacific railroad which had just been extended
from Melrose to Alexandria We met number of
the prominent early settlers, who assembled in
knots to look over, to decide whether they would
welcome or lynch us, at least that is the way it
seemed to at the time. However we were
favorably impressed that we concluded to throw in
with them.
"In August 1879 the first issue of the Herald came
out under my management. 1t was a seven column
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-11-04

Otsego and worked five years in the office of
the Otsego Republica, when his father sold
out and bought an interest in the Minneapo-
lis Tribune, in 1874. The Tribune was not
as prosperous in those days as it is now and
the elder Hendryx spent a good sized fortune
in it's promotion.
After coming to Minneapolis Mr. Hendryx
was married to Miss Fanny Gault Taylor, the
daughter of w. H. H. Taylor, for many years
State Librarian.
After leaving Sank Centre he was, for a
time, on the editorial staff of the Springfield,
Ohio, Evening Gazette. In 1906 he moved to
Chattanooga, Tenn, and was on the staff of
the Morning Times. He returned to Cincin-
natl in 1908 and acted as editorial writer on
the Morning American.
At the present time Mr.. Hendryx is en-
gagged in church work for the Episcopalians,
of which church he was always prominent
and active member. He has two missionary
churches under his charge, preaching in one
in the morning and the other in the after
noon, necessitating IL hours work and an 30
mile journey, including 10 car changes each
