Loren Fletcher, “Mike” Hoy, Keegan and Bentley will be re- membered by old timers, who stilt chuckle at Loren Fletcher’s “hell-of- a-fix” telegram to the Mayor of this City. The dispatches to the Bismarck Tribune say: “Minneapolis—Mayor Brackett is still at Fort Garry, doing all he can for the prisoners, ang is constantly insulted by the bully and brute, Clarke.” Those were wonderful times in the Northwest. And how many of the participants in the stirring events of frontier days are still living! To them the Golden Jubilee edition of the Bismarck Tribune will be some- thing for smiles—and, perhaps, tears, For how young we all were then! Lisbon Free Press - “A copy of the “Golden Jubilee” under date of July 11, has been re- ceived at our table, ang the Free Press has derived great pleasure from a perusal of the copy. The first issue of the Bismarck Tribune was on July 11, 1873, or fifty years ago. It contained a rather miscellaneous mass of reading matter, and a num- ber of saloon ads. The editor at that time had to be constantly on the look-out for flying bullets. The sec- ond most sensational number was printed July 6, 1876, containing an account of the Custer massacre, The third most sensational issue was Aug. 9, 1888, giving a detailed ac- count of: the great confagration that néatly' wiped*Bismatck off the map. JUVENILE THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE These are only a, few of the stir- ring events in Bismarck’s history. The Tribune was first printed on hand press, buy is now. issued daily by means of modern machinery, and ‘om a handsome and up-to-date of- building.”—Lisbon Free Press. ated July 11, the Golden Jub- ilee number of the Bismarck Tribune came to our table with 24 pages of write-up, covering the birth, early struggles and later triumphs ‘of both the Tribune and Bismarck City, from the date of the first Tribune, July 11, 1873, and the entrance to the then little fronticr town of the Great Northern railroad, June, 1873, to the present time, Handsomely illustrated with hal | tones of its first founder Col, Loun: jberry; its editor for thirty years, Marshall H, Jewell; its present pub- her and president, of the company, ‘o. D. Mann, and Mrs, Mann, sec- retary-treasurer; and of the members of the office and editorial staff, car- rier and newsie staff, mechanical staff, main business and editorial offices, presses, linotype ' machines, composing room, book bindery and the superintendent of the building, and other interesting Tribune pic- tures, it has. also pictures of the pres ent Northern Pacific president, Charles Donnelly, Chairman of the Board, Howard Elliot, and the pres- ent N.

Fifty years ago Bis- marck was not a very imposing city, and it took an optimist like Col. C. A. Lounsberry to-start a paper. It is North Dakota’s- old- est paper, and in all these years it has been one of the leaders in a state that has risen to a high place in the sisterhoods of the Un- ion: The history of the Tribune is a story of ability and cou It has ‘been the victim of three fires that made it homeless, and it had tio iace h§rd conditions several times during the ups and dowis of good crops and poor crops. Marshall H. Jewell was for thirty years its editor and he contribut- ed mucp to the histery of the Nérthwest. Six years “ago the management was taken by a well known Minnesota newspaper man, tb ne Mann, fae these have been the days of its prosperity, The Tribune has a fine home of its own, and is’ in every way a sredit to its city and’its publish- r. We congratulate Brother Mann on his success, and know that under his able management the Tribune will continue to hold its place at the head of the influ- ential newspapers of: our _ sister state——St. Cloud Daily Journal Press. “The Bismarck Tribune celebrat- ed its fiftieth anniversary last week ‘with a handshme edition. The ‘Tribune has had an interest- ing career during the last half century, but never has it appeared to better advantage \as a real newspaper than during the last! few years. George D, Mann, its present editer, who went out there from the Pioneer Press a few years ago, knows news and how to present it, and has made the Tri: bune one of North Dakota’s three leading newspapers.—Duluth Herg ald. CIVIC SPIRIT: OF A. W. LUCAS MUCH PRAISED (Continued from Page One) him on the street and pass the time of day, even for a few mo- ments, always meant a stimulation for optimism and enthusiasm in one’s daily occupation.” R. M. Bergeson—“In the passing of A. W. Lucas Bismarck has lost ‘|one of her most valuable citizens. He always said ‘If’ there is any- thing I can do, call on me.’ ” P. C. Remington—“I 3 very sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Lucas. He was ‘a __ prosperous merchant, was regatded as one of the pioneers in the lopment. marck, and one of the sub- jal citizens of our city, ii its development <a and confident of its future.” J. A. Flow—“A gocd man h: left us, and his cheerful smile will be missed.” F, A. Conklin—“For more than 20 years Mr. Lucas has been one of the outstanding leaders in the growth and development of this community. His passing means a loss to all of us that is difficult ‘to fully realize at this time.” Best Citizen Dr. M. W. Roan—“I have known Mr. Lucas for the past 18 years. He always had sympathy for those in trouble and nearest to his heart was the growth and devel- opment of Bismarck. I think he ee jthe best citizen Bismarck ever had. J. P. French—“Mr, Lucas has done a wonderful lot for Bismarck during his years of residence in the Chris. Bertsch—“In the death of Mr. Lucas Bismarck has lost one} of its most valuable citizens. Dur- ing the eight years which I work- ed with him as a member of the City Commission I always found him working for the best inter- ests of the city.” urt Finney—“A. W’s.- greatest weakness in official or ptrivate life seemed ever to be his desire to do more than his share toward anything which tended to the bet- terment of Bismarck or her living conditions.” ; A Grand Citizen S. W. Derrick—“Mr. Lucas was the first business man I met when I drove into Bismarck before. the Soo Line track was laid. 8 “Our acquaintance has extend- ed over twenty-one years and I have always found him an ex- ceptionally fine man to work with, in either business or cléaritable work, “He was always ready to meet one more than half way in any proposition, “Bismarck has lost a grand cit- izen and I a close, warm, personal friend and his ny a grand hus- band and father and my sympathy oes out to them.” '~W. H. Webb—“Mr. Lucas could always be depended upon to take an active’ interest in any move- ment started either for the benc- fit of the business men of Bis- marck, the City, or for the State ‘as a whole. We shall miss him in every ‘walk of community life. “T regret the loss of a personal friend, who has been a clean as well as an active and competent competitor.”_ John Peterson—“I considered A. ‘W. Lucas one of the foremost mew of Bismarck. His death is a grevt Joss to the city, for during his BEARS of residence here he as always taken an active part in the upbuilding of. the city. It was ‘during his years as mayor of Bismarck that much of the pav- fas done. During his admin- istration of city affairs they were handled efficiently.” F. A. Knowles—“I was_ indeed stricken with a deep feeling of sorrow to:learn of the very sud- den death of Mr. Lucas. “And I am sure there is not a good busingss man or good citizen in Bismarck who will not miss him, as he was one of the leaders in our City. His family certainly has my sincere sympathy.” L. H. Richmond—“Bismarck has suffered a great loss in the pass- ing of Mr. Lucas. : “To associate with him in a soc- ial or business way has always been a great pleasure to me. He was a man; among men.” William ‘O’Hara—“I was iated with Mr, Lucas for years, while we were both con- nected with Field-Schlick com- pany of St. Paul, and for a year and a-half following our coming to Bismarck in August 1899. Dur- ing all my years of association with Mr. Lucas, our relations were of thé pleasantest. Mr. Lucas was a man easy to get along with and considerate in every way. He was a splendid. business man and a good citizen. His worth to the community is so well known that it seems almost superfulous to try to estimate it.” . assoc- ten POLICY { It is our policy to blend ex- pertly a pure Java wrapper with a rich Havana Filler—- ‘a combination in which we * have such confidence that we will refund your money if Mi Wauki cigars don’t " appeal to you.
