To the people of Jefferson City and State of Missouri: In presenting this, our first volume of a series of Missouri County Sketch Books and Directories, we feel that the value and useful- ness of our new field of work has in this book been fully demon- strated. We promise that no future edition shall fall below this one in any particular. To the citizens of Jefferson City we here express our grateful thanks for their hearty co-operation, liberal patronage and generous support, which has enabled us to produce this valuable book. In this connection, however, we think it but right to claim that this volume will do more to advertise the great advantages and beauties of Jeffer- son City than any other agency employed before or since the memorable battle against the removal of the Permanent Seat of Government. Our aim has been to reflect on the pages of this book the County and Capital City as they are today, that we have fallen short in many particulars and omitted much that should have a place in the volume is true, but to the advertiser we have given full value in every respect. We have associated their advertisements permanently with a class of matter which secures its frequent reading and at the same time gives promine-nce to the firms represented. To advertisers who may be our patrons in other counties and to those whose business is not confined within the limits of one county, we will cheerfully give any informa- tion desired in associating their names and business with the prom- inent and substantial interests of the counties for which we produce a Sketch Book and Directory. Our next edition will be an Illustrated Sketch Book and Directory of SEDALIA AND PETTIS COUNTY, which will include a complete directory of ; every city, town and village within the bounds of that rich and prosperous commonwealth. Although Jefferson City and Sedalia were rivols for the location of the Permanent Seat of Government, the fight is over;, .and their common purpose now is to place Missouri, which is the fifth in rank, at the head of the list of American States. We thank the press most cordially for their very courteous assistance. x^ Respectfully, MISSOURI ILLUSTRATED SKETCH BOOK CO. CONTENTS JEFFERSON CITY.

South Haven, tlic most delightful sum- mer resort on the Great Lakes, is located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, a village of about 4,000, cultured and moral people, who have been drawn there by the delightful sur- roundings and to enjoy the refreshing breezes which are cooled by the freSh water of the Great Lake, and invigorated by bathing in the spark- ling element. It is only a few hours from the city of Chicajio and is conueitcd by majj;uitieent sicamers running night and day, the expense of the round trip being only $1.00. "Tis here is located the famous A\'KRV BEACH HOTEL. The furnished cottages of the Monroe Park Cottage Co., of which they have about forty, are equipped with evei-y modern convenience, electric light, hot and cold water, bath and perfect sewerage. A stay there during the heated months, relieved of the worry of business (while not expensive) as the delicious fruits of the great state of Michigan are at hand at a uominal price, makes new men and women who return home refreshed with new life. For further information in regard to this famous resort, noted for it glorious beach, safe bathing, good boating and fishing on lake and river, its peach and general fruit orchards, its berries, its magnificent steamers arriving twice daily from Chicago, write to the Monroe Park Cottage company.

Dulle located in Jefferson City where he engaged in first in the manufacture of brick, and later hi the business of the dairy. In 1854, he built on the ground (near where now stands the best equipped and most substantial milling property in central Missouri), a small mill which was ample to meet the requirements of that day, but with the growing business it was enlarged from time to time, to almost its present proportions. It was, however, destroyed by fire, in 1890, when it was replaced by the present model, modern, substantial and virtu- ally fire-proof structure, containing the very latest and best in the wonderful improvements made in milling machinery within the last half century. The sterling qualities of the founder of this plant, Mr. G. H. Dulle, and his exceptional capacity as an honest, thorough and substantial business man, re- sulted in his being frequently called upon to serve the county in an official capacity, a duty which he always performed in a manner most credible to him- self and satisfactory to those who had thus honored him. At his death, 1885, the G. H. Dulle Milling Company was organized and incorporated, the offi- cers being Henry J. Dulle, President; Bernard Dulle, Vice-President, and J. W. Schulte, Secretary and Business Manager. Mr. J. W. Schulte, to whom the very great success of this mill is largely due, is a step-son of Mr. G. H. Dulle, and has been since reaching his majority, continually in the mill and largely the manager, a duty devolving on him in S jLi I consequence of the frequent absence of Mr. G. H. Dulle. when engaged in his official duties. The President, Mr. Henry J. Dulle, has been honored by the county with several positions, having recently retired from the office of presiding judge of the court. He is now President of the First National Bank, one of the largest and most prosperous finan- cial concerns in Jefferson City. The capacity of the Dulle Milling Company is 500 barrels of flour per day; the leading brands are ''Dulle Patent," "Capi- tal Star" and "Baker's Delight," all of which have an established reputation, covering several states, and the merit of which has been attested by a num- ber of prize medals, where exhibited in competition with the products of the leading mills of the world; the most recent being at the Exposition at Omaha. The immense product of this mill is sold throughout a number of states, and is shipped to several foreign countiies. The grain necessary to supply the de- mand of this mill is drawn largely from the wheat- growing district of central Missouri, an area which is recognized as the best for the production of win- ter wheat in the United States. It can be seen with- out the suggestion of a figure that in the employ- ment of labor and the purchase of grain, the G. H. Dulle Milling Company has dispensed more money, by far, than any other manufacturing concern in Central Missouri. It is certainly one of the most substantial elements entering into the progress ol Jefferson City, and Cole county. An idea of the Dulle ^Milling structure may be drawn from the pie ture above, the building in the rear being an eleva- tor with a capacity of 50,000 bushels.

In the United States, in no manufacturing, has there been such marked progress as in the maliins of shoes. This IS a line of goods in which the United States; -e;tcels the world and the products of her shoe factoriis an- sold in all countries, where there is a people sufficiently prosperous tobuy the best. .The work.. of. the Village slimniaker is now almost entirely one of repairing; in fact, with the facilities for manufacturing, buyirig'ih large" tiuantities. 'raw nra.t«rial and the use of greatly improved machinery, the manufacturer now sells a shoe complete for less money than the country shoemaker can buy in a small way the raw material. The headquarters of this great manufacturing interest has of late years been leaving New England, Missouri now being one of the leading manufacturing states of artistic and sub- stantial footwear. At an early date one manufacturer made a general line of boots and shoes for men, women and chil- dren, but the growing and sharp competition has forced a more thorough division of labor, which gives to the manu- facturer of a specialty the advantage of using skilled labor only on the class of work in which it is most proficient, enabling them to turn out a finer and better class of work and at lower prices than is possible by the maker of a gen- eral line. The H. Bockrath Shoe Company of Jefferson Citv was organized May 1st. ISStfj, incorporating with a capital stock of $22,000.00. The first stockholders, who were also directors, were H. Bockrath, Geo. A. Bockrath. J. \V. Schulte, G. H. Schulte and F. Loefher. The officers being H. Bockrath, President; J. \V. Schulte, Vice-President; Geo. A. Bockrath, Secretary and Treasurer, and F. Loeffler. In May, '90, they commenced the manufacure of a special line of ladies', misses', children's, boys', youths' and little gent's shoes, in a building 33 by 110 feet on Stuart Street, selling their product direct to the retail merchants. Their working force, the first year, numbered about 40 people. By the em- ployment of efficient and intelligent salesmen, who were able to get the attention of the best dealers, they introduced their goods rapidly, the substantial character and low price of which was appreciated by the merchants when compared with eastern makes, and as a result their trade has gradual ly increased, until now they employ a force of loO, their manufacturing space being enlarged to 110 by 19S feet on the ground floor, and in addition, a space on the second floor, 4D by 110 feet. The factory on the corner of Stuart and Water streets is equipped with the latest improved machin- ery and every department is under the supervision of an expert; as a result, no factory in the United States turns out more artistic or substantial shoes than the H. Bockrath Shoe Co., or at more favorable prices to the shoe mer- chant. In November. '9S, the capital stock was increased to $42,000. E. Holtschneider and D. M. Noonan becoming stockholders, and added to the directory. Mr. Noonan is also foreman of the packing department. The employes in this factory are largely from the ranks of the home people, and have become very efficient in the work. The Bockrath shoes are now sold and reeognixed as leading: standards in all directions within a radius of several hun- dred miles. The President. Mr. Bockrath, is an oW 'merchant,- who came-..to, Jefferson City from Florrissant. St. Louis county, seventeen years ago. and until recently retired, was one of the leading geriel^ai merchants -of the Capi- tal City. Geo. A. Bockrath, the Secretary and Treasurer, who looks largely after the management, is a sterling young business man with the executive ability necessary to manage this large and prosperous manufacturing plant, the most important in Jefferson City, outside the prison walls. The success of the Bockrath Shoe Company and the popu- larity of their artistic and substantial products are largely due to the practical management in the manufacturing de- partment of Mr. P. Loeffler. who is superintendent and manager of the factory. Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. U9 Pinkcrton, Kev. J. P., pastoi" Christian Cliurcb. EesiileiKo 017 E. lligli.

For those who wish to enjoy a summer outing where all the surroundings are conduct\-e to the highest order of innocent sports and recreation, there is no more inviting resort on the American Continent than South Haven, Mich., a village of about 4,000 cultured people who strive tor the highest in life. No saloons, billiard halls or bowling alleys and none of the fakirs or rough element frequently found at popular summer resorts. In addition to the fine surf bathing within a few steps of the cottages, there is splendid boating, fishing and elegant drives. In the midst of the famous fruit growing section, the price of supplies for the table are reasonable, the expense of the average family during the summer months being but little more than at home, the rental of the furnished cottages which are supplied with every convenience, is low. Within a few hours' ride by elegant steamers (which run night and day), of Chicago. The expense of the round trip, $1.00.

Huepel is the Proprietor, is unquestionably at the head of the list. Mr. Huegel leased the property, which he now owns, on the cor- ner of Jefferson and High streets, January 1, 187-1. and continued to run the hotel as a tenant until 1885, when he purchased the propei*ty. The busi- ness, under his able and jiopular nianagement, con- tinued to grow until 1801), when it reached a pro- portion demanding larger and more commodious quarters, which determined him to enlarge and mod- ernize the building, and as a result he has the most elegantly appointed and best arranged hotel in Cen- tral Missouri. The building is extended to four full stories and a basement, the exterior of which pre- sents an imposing and symetrical appearance, while the interior arrangement embodies in elegance and comfort everything necessary to gratify the most fastidious taste. The entire building is brilliantly illuminated with electric lights, a jierfect system of call bells, elegant bath tubs and sanitary arrange- ments second to no hotel in the country. The main floor is finished throughout in highly polished oak. All the rooms are nicely decorated and arranged, the floors being covered with lovely carpets, fresh from the loom of the weaver. His dining room in the basement is large and well arranged, while on his table is found at all times the best the market affords, prepared by experienced cooks. Of the lux- uries furnished his guests, are parlors on both the first and second floors. The appointments of the building throughout are most convenient and com- fortable, meeting the demands of the most exact- ing. Mr. Huegel is to be congratulated on his good management and prosperity, evidenced by this nionnnient, which is. indeed, a credit to the city. Fine Table Fowl. Good La\er.

J 50 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and OUR RAILROADS, Next to the press, the most important factor effecting the material and intellectual progress of a civilized people is the railroad. Though comparatively new, there being many now living in Cole county who were well grown before the first railroad was built in the United States, they have introduced themselves so rapidly and we have become so ac- customed to the many advantages afforded by them, we do not realize how much they contribute to our comfort and convenience. AA'ithout the railroad, the daily paper could not exist. It is the element which enables our postal system to be the grandest and most efficient organization of public utility on earth. Without them the misfortunes which befall communities through fire, pestilence or famine would result in great suffering; communities, which fail to pro- duce crops on account of unfavorable seasons, would fee! the pangs of hunger. The immense deposits of coal and min- eral, which underlie a large portion of the interior of the United States, would rem.ain in their natural beds, useless to mankind. The delicious fruits of California would decay in the orchard. The great wheat fields of the Northwest would cease to bloom and supply a golden harvest as there would be no return to the producer. The railroads regu- late supply and demand, taking the surplus of one community to those in need. They equalize prices as water find its level. To them we are indebted largely for the wonderful advancement in civilization and education of the last half of the Nineteenth century. Through them the people of the United States are all neighbors, not only having the priv- ilege of general social intercourse, but the advantages of the exchange of ideas in personal contact with people from all parts, thus affording the educational advantages of a cosmopolitan life. The railroads represent the largest busi- ness interests of the world. By them an army of skilled labor is employed and better salaries are paid as a whole than in any other industry. Their management requires the ablest financiers. The magnitude of the capital invested in these great vehicles of progress in this country alone being sufficient to stagger one who attempts to grapple with its enormity. Jefferson City has the advantages of three great railroad systems— two of which, the C. & A. and the M.. K. & T., have no mileage within Cole county, their depots being in North Jefferson across the river, which is now spanned by a magnificent steel bridge. .Ml-.-oi i;l l'.\i iH( rl Al loN, .IKII KK.-M.I.N i I I -. . The Missouri Pacific, however, has a large mileage within Cole county, the main line running its entire length from east to west, the Lebanon branch of that system going through the southwest part of the county. Of the Missouri Pacific railroad it is difficult to refer in a review without connecting the article with the late great Napoleon of finance, Jay Gould. There are many well posted people of the state who have some idea of the immense value the operations of Jay Gould were during his lifetime to the great Commonwealth of Missouri. He took hold of the Missouri Pacific when it was bankrupt, and developed it into one of the most important railroad systems of the entire country. Its value in building up not only the country through which it passes, but the two great commercial and manufacturing cities of Missouri— St. Louis and Kansas City— is simply beyond compute. It has brought each of these trade centers into close touch with the fine agricultural and live stock districts of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, the cotton fields of Arkansas and Texas, the mineral districts of southwest Missouri, and the untold wealth which is brought to the surface annually in that great producer of precious metals, Colorado. In addition to this great system, his genius had much to do with bringing to its present high standard the Wabash system both east and west of the Mississippi. His far seeing and fertile brain coupled with his wonderful executive ability, was the principle element in developing the Western Union Telegraph system to its now wonderful efficiency. Mr. Gould was superior to Napoleon in that he did not let the dazzling splendors of wealth and power debauch his modest and virtuous manhood. To facilitate the great enterprises conceived by his fertile mind he associated with him the most practical and brainiest men to be found. The friendship and interest taken in Jefferson City by the Missouri Pacific is evidenced by the magnificient new _ depot (a cut of which heads this article) which they have recently provided for the comfort and convenience of the citizens of, and visitors to, the capital. That this railroad has always been ready and prompt in response to requests for special rates and other favors necessary to facilitate and promote the selection of the capital city for public gatherings, con- ventions, etc., is well known, and as a result, it enjoys and deservedly, the warm friendship and support of the people of Jefferson City and Cole county.

Mo. J 52 Q)Ie County Illustrated Sketch Book and THE SCIENCE OF ADVERTISING. Comparatively few men, taken as a wlmle. I'eali/.e the importance of advertisinj; and li(i\\ minli its study and judicious application etl'ects their jiros- pci'ity. The human mind is guided and controlled by influences which are jirojierly lu'ouylit to bear just as sure as the ai>ple when detached from the twig of the tree is carried by the force of gravity to the eartli. Counter influence may effect or stop the downfall of some of the apples, so in the work of advertising in its effect on the human mind it may be turned aside by counter influences. The value of an advertisement depends mucli on the tact, skill and force of its presentation. The most effective way is by personal work, presenting intelligently a title to ]>atronag'e in person, using that means which the Creator in his wisdom gave to us to con- vey our thoughts and wishes to eaeh other — the hiiman voice. This, however, is most exi)ensive. A manufacturer or merchant of New York may send a representative to San Francisco at a cost in ex pense and salary of ^500 and to see it may be only one customer. A regular salesman may make trips to all parts of the country during the year calling on perhaps 100 customers or less. Salesmen who visit only the larger buyers command a salary of at least $6,000 a year, to which is to be added the ex- pense of traveling, etc., about $;i,000, making the work of this salesman cost in one year |t),000. The manufacturer or merchant could have printed the words used by his salesman, express himself with greater care and reach the buyers, through the mails at an expense of $50, saving apparently $8,950, but his loss in trade through the activity of comjietitors, who recognize the importance of certain work being done in person, would likely reach many thousands more. There are various ways of advertising; news- papers, magazines, personal work, letters and many other means and so much to be accomplished by it, it is reduced to a science that requires a most thorough study. Advertising reaches out and af- fects the business world more than an.v other ele- ment which enters into its progress. The farmer, seeing the advertisement of an article in a news- paper, little thinks the advertisement in many cases reduce the cost to him more than half. By this means the manufacturer can increase his output to such an extent that he goes to the original source of supply for material obtaining the lowest price in his i)urchase, the enlarged business, carrying with it a corresponding reduction, in the cost of making and selling the finished i)roduct. By judi- cious advertising, the manufacturer, in many cases, is enabled to sell articles on account of the large outjiut, at live c(*nts. which produced in a limited way would cost fl. Through this nu>aus the cost of almost ever.v article of general use which contri- butes to the comfort and well being of mankind, is reduced to a minimum and the quality giiMtly im- pi-oved. To illustrate, the railroads will carry you in a moving jialace with ever.v comfort of the well reg- elated home from New York to San Francisco, at a cost of less than $100, while the expense advei-tise- ments of the railroads in every publication, in jtamphlets, signs, the employment of artists, the most talented writers and an arm.v of brain.v men, whose wliide dut.v is to travel and talk in the inter- est of the road they represent; so it is with great merchants Mr. Wanamaker, the largest retail mer- chant in the world, was on the verge of failure a few years ago, but by judicious advertising he has made himself a many times millionaire. With his immense stocks of goods in Philadelphia and New York, if he were to stop his advertisements he could dispense with three-fourths of his emplo.ves in a few months, and within a few years would most likel.v go to the wall. He emplo.vs one man to write ad- vertisements at a salary of $15,000 a year. Ar- buckle Bros., who are the largest imjxirters and dealers in coffee in the world, were running a gro- cery store in Pittsburg Avhere the.v began to roast coffee in a small way for their retail trade. By ju- dicious advertising they have increased their busi- ness and fortune to their present gigantic propor- tions. James Pyle, the manufacturer of Pearline, which we find in every grocery store and in almost evei-y home, a few years ago, had only a small busi- ness and little capital, but a keen insight into the value of advertising, he owes his present immense fortune and large business almost wholly to this means. He recentl.v paid over $4,000 for a page ad- vertisement, one issue, in a popular magazine, lio- bert Bonner, the late millionaire, publisher of the New York Ledger, flft.v years ago, had no means, and was working in a newspaper off'ice at $50 a year and board. Just before his death he stated that for many years he expended virtually, in advertising, all his earnings, and to this i>ractice was indebted almost wholly for his great fortune. The manu- facturers of anoline dves, the manv and varied col- Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 153 ors of wliicli, at a nominal cost, add so much to the arlifiiial Ix'auty now extant, owo their present im- mense Itnsiness to judicious and liberal advertis- inj.'. 'J'Ik^ ]iiesiden(s and manaj^ers of the colleges, those «ho teach in tlie higher paths of education, are of late years showing evidence of their apprecia- tion and recognition of the value of this art. We now find colleges of recognized merit, and jtronii- nence largely advertised and to a close student of I)ra(tical life, this is the best evidence thej can give of their (|ualificationsi to impart to the receptive minds placed in their charge, the practical knowl- edge necessary to enable them to play their part well and credibly on the stage of life. Another effect of advertising is the increased patronage thus secured, stimulates the advertiser to render the best service and value possible, thus increasing his friends and business. Of the many means to be used in advei-tising. all ha\e some value, but aside fi-om ]iersonal work, the most potent is the columns of a well conducted newspaper, yet of the n)illions of newspapers pub- lished in the United States daily, within 48 hours after their publication, the number in existence is only a few thousand, while an advertisement in a book which contains valuable information of fre- (luent use in which our interest is not only for the day, but lasting, is valuable for the reason that such books take a permanent place in the homes of the people. In addition, the influence of an advertise- ment on the reader is effected largely by its asso- ciation. An advertisement associated in a j)ublica- t'on, with matter which the reader feels should be preserved, has a stronger influence than when asso- ciated with transitory matter, which is read at a glance w'ith no attempt to give it a permanent place in the memory. «jft t^ t*t «^ «^ t^ CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY OF JEFFERSON CITY— 19)).

B. IIAKVEY. E. M. POTTER. ^0 J^o iM@mm/sSo John F. Heinrichs, who is tamilarly known to every one in Cole and surrounding counties as the "Furniture King," was born in Cologne, Germany, November 30, 1S4S, from which place his parents immigrated to Jefferson City when he was four years o£ age. The subject o£ this sketch was reared and educated in Jefferson City, attending public schools, later Wy- nan's University of St. Louis and St. .lolm's Commercial College. On his return to Jefferson City, after completing his commercial education, he assisted his father, who was engaged in the busi- ness of furniture and undertaking. He was later associated in the business of which he became the owner in 1879, when the location was on the corner of Jefferson and Main streets; from there he removed to one of the store rooms under Bragg Hall, corner Monroe and High streets, and to his present loca- tion, 207-9 East Main, in 1897. He was united in marriage May 13, 1873, to Miss Mildred (daughter of the late Judge Milo Blair of Boonville, a prominent man of the State). To this union has teen born six children, four boys and two girls, one of each died in infancy. Milo, Charley, Claud and Agnes are at home. Agnes, the youngest child, is a musical prodigy, whose wonder- ful performance on the piano, for one of her age, has attracted much attention and been a subject of frequent reference in the papers and magazines. Mr. Heinrichs is a member of the Cath- olic church, K. of P., The Elks, L. O. H. and A. O. U. W. In politics he is a Democrat. He is at present a Regent of Lincoln Institute, and was twelve years a member of the city school board; and appeals for charity always find a response in his generous heart. It may be truly said of him that the title by which he is known, the "Furniture King" of Col© county, is most appropriate, as he carries m his spacious store on East Main, a stock of everything in the line of furniture and under- taking. His large business attests his popularity as a man, and the low prices he makes on his merchandise. His comfortable home, with his very interesting family, is 324 East Main.

LOUIS POST -DISPATCH, Published Daily at St. Louis. Mo., by THE PULITZER PUBLISHING COMPANY. Among the Really Great Newspapers of America, None Possess the Marvelous Newsgathering Facil- ities Which Are Afforded the ST. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH By Its Association With the New York World. By this combination of resources the POST-DISPATCH is enabled to give to its readers not only the latest happenings from all parts of the globe, but to present a magazine service, which is unequalled by any other paper on earth, an evidence of which is most apparent in the rapid strides by which the POST-DISPATCH has forged to the front under the phenominal management of Mr. Pulitzer. The merits of this paper have won for it a larger bona-fide circulation — Sunday or Dailv — than any other newspaper west of the Mississippi River, and larger in the city of St. Louis and its suburbs than any two morning or evening newspapers combined. ^ J- J- ^ Subscription Rates Outside of St. Louis.

He started out in life as newsboy, printers devil, clerk, accountant, then assistant secretary of the State of Tennessee, commencing- his business career \ aci'es of land witli water power and nadirai gas, wlu're tlii'.\ make the famous Starr, Jesse French and Kicliniond I'ianos. This is the second largest piano factory in America, and they expect this year to t-nrn o\ii six tlmusand jiianos. Mr. French is only tiftyfour years of age, and gives the business the same careful supervision as ever. He has three sons, John, Horace and Jesse, jr. The former was for some years secretary and in 1872, in a small way, in the sheet music business in Nashville, Tenn., in wiiicli lie was very success- ful. In 1876 he entered the jiiano business, which presented a larger field of ojjeration; putting the same energy and discretion in this, as .others, he won the same success until he is now at the head of this mammoth institution. His business extended to all p((ints of the com- pass, and some years ago he removed from Nash- ville, Tenn., to St. Louis, as a more suitable place for the headquarters of such a vast enterprise. Foreseeing the necessity of manufacturing high grade pianos to supply their ever increasing trade, the stockholders bought one of the most desirable plants in the United States, embracing thirty-flve treasurer, but recently branched out in tlie manu- facture of Automobiles, and is now president of the St. Louis ]Motor Carriage Co., the leading institution of its kind in America; Horace, his second son, suc- ceeded him as secretary and treasurer of the Jesse French Co., and is also secretary and treasurer of the St. Louis Motor Carriage Co., and proves a valuable help to both concerns, while Jesse, jr., is acknowl- edged to be an all-round i)iano man, "a worthy son of a noble sire." One secret of Mr. French's success is that he has won the confidence of the public by his courteous and fair dealing; so that customers run no risk in dealing with their comi)any. They make nothing bnt what they can sell on honor and full guarantee. Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 215 Vai'reu, James, farmer, Lohmaii. A'att, J.

At the first session of the Legisla- iire held in ^lissoiiri, after its admission as a State. Ill act was passed fixing the I'eriiianent Seat of Tovernment, and in the same act the Legislature ac- •e](ted, for the use and benefit of the State, the four :ections of land selected by the Commissioners, Among other wise provisions was a reservation for a park surrounding the Capitol Building and Governor's Mansion. It seems, with their limited opportunities for observation, almost a miracle that the committee for the selection of the location of the Permanent Seat of Government should have se- lected the most beautiful and by nature the most perfectly adaiitcd spot in the State. This is true, however, as will be attested by all who have ob- served its beauties as compared with any other place of equal size in Missouri. The City of Jeffer- son is incomparably the most beautiful town in the State. In charms of natural location, modified, not altered, by man, it stands without a rival in the l"nited States. It is built on lovelv hills at whose the act also stating that on the aforesaid sections a town should be laid out, and the lots sold in such manner as should be jirescribed by law. This act was approved December 31, 1821. By an act of the General Assembly, approved January 1, 1822, the town was to be laid out in at least one thousand lots, and the principal streets should not be less than one hundred feet wide; the other streets not less than eighty. On the first Monday in May, 182:!, said lots were to be sold on the jiremises to the highest bidder, except such as would be reserved f(U' public use. This act also stated that the town should be laid out as the Permanent Seat of (iovein- nieiit, and should be called the "Citv of Jetterson." base surges one of the largest and longest rivers on the Continent. From the head^waters of the Mis- souri River to where the Mississippi empties into the Gulf of Mexico, it is the longest river in the world. There is no more enchanting view than one from any part of the Cajiital City, of the end- less landscape of green surroundings, when viewed in connection with the turbulent waters of the Mis- souri. The glorious haiuliwoik of God in nature has no greater attraction than the surroundings that are found in the City of JeftVrson, which sets on a crown of hills overlooking this gri-at water- way with a landscape whose shades of color are too delicate and varied to be depict-ed on the can- :> Cole County lllustr.Ucd Sketch Bcvik and Our Enei'i vers/* Kansas City Engraving Co, Phone 3 3 3 3 . -^ V V -v V. ^ -V*«^^i^^^S^S^ 1215 Walnut St. Kansas City, Mo.

The cost jier capita for maintaining the prisoners during 1897 and istts, was 25.20 cents per day, the average earning 28.38 cents, leaving a daily balance of 3.09 cents. The daily average number of inmates dur- ing these years was 2.22S. The amount paid by con- tractors to the St«te for labor of convicts, use of buildings, power, etc., was $440,508. During 62 years, 289 prisoners were received whose ages ranged between IG and 20 years; 686 between 20 and 25, and three were received who were over 70 years of age; thirteen entered under sentence of 99 years and four under life sentences; 3,403 pardons have been granted since the opening of the .institu- tion. The three-fourths law, which went into effect in 1870, has resulted in the release of 498 prisoners under its provisions. In the past forty years, 872 deaths have occurred. No epidemic has existed in the prison for many years and the death rate has been less than that of the average village. In 1898 the State property was valued at |1,589,474.59. The prison was open for the reception of prisoners in 1836, the first prisoner received, ilardi s, of that year, was Wilson Eidson, 22 years of age, a native; of Tennessee. He was sent from Greene county. Mo., under a sentence of two years and forty-five days for grand larceny. There are many refining and elevating elements of which the unfortunate inmates- of this institution receive the beneficial influences. Among them is a thoroughly stocked green house, a floral court which is constantly kept beautiful with seasonable flowers, and a library under the sup- ervision of the Chaplain, Rev. W. G.

The committee was aided in its etforts to devise an attractive list of exhibitions by the co-operation of Mr. A. E. Ashbrook, of Kansas City, publisher of the KansasCity Horse Show Monthly. The events of this show surpassed all former exhibitions, the high-jumping of "Joe Wheeler," "Black Douglass"' and "Bonnie Lassie" being an especially popular feature, though by no means detracting from the general interest manifested in the other events, in which the best talent of the State was competing. 256 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and Tlie frrounds of Cottage Place Park aie jieciili- aily adajited to events of tliis kind, and with tlie sjx'cial and hi-illiaiit illuminations jirovided, made a most attractive scene.

Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 257 COLE COUNTY ILLUSTRATED SKETCH BOOK. INTRODUCTION. Our purpose iu this publicatiou is to refiect on its pages Jefferson City and Cole county as they are today with only a sutticient glimpse of the past to enable us better to appreciate the many bless- ings, comforts and advantages we enjoy (physical, intellectual and social), as a result of the broad, far-reaching efforts of the pioneers who hiid. in the then wilds of the West, the foundation of the great commonwealth of Missouri. The first European to place foot on what is now Missouri soil was the adventurous Spanish Cavalier DeSoto, in 1547. The early settlers, however, were largely Fi'ench, coming nearly two centuries later. In 1762, as a result of war between England and France, the French claims east of the Mi-ssissippi fell to England, while tho«e west of the river to Spain. In ISdl. through the manipulations of the great Napoleon, France again had ceded to her by Spain the vast domain west of the Mississippi, which in l.'^0:{ the Fnited States, under the administration of Tlunuas Jefferson, purchased of Napoleon for fifteen million dollars, this being the Louisiana runhase, the one hundredth anniversary, of which event St. Louis is prejiaring to appropriately celebrate iu 1!(03. In 1812 the Territory of Missouri was organized, and in 1S2(I entered the Union as a slave State, a result of the pacifying intiuence of the great statesman Henry Clay, the measure admitting being known as the Missouri Compromise. This compromise and the famous Dred Scott decision made the State specially conspicuous in the exciting debates which immediately preceded the tragic horrors of the war of the rebellion. At the beginning of the centiny just closing, the whites within the present boundaries of the State numbered only a few thousand and the struggles, hardships and tragedies attending their efforts to jdant civilization in a land habited by savages and secure from primitive nature the necessities of life for themselves and families, we will not attempt even to suggest nor will we (although Gibbon says mankind gives more glory to its destroyers than its benefactors, and the tales of war are most absorbing! mention the intensely interesting and tragic events of the dark period which followed the attempt to dissolve the Union, ^ye will only say that during this bloody strife the loss of the State in her best blood was great while that of her material wealth was almost be- yond compute, but the character, enterprise and indominable will of her people coupled with her unlimited and varied natural resources enabled hei to rise. I'lioenix like, from the ashes, and, meas- ured by the standard of education, wealth and political jiowei- take fifth place in the list of States, although much younger than her out-ranking 'rivals, n(me of which suffered by the war, but on the con- trary profited largely by the great demand for their products resulting from the strife. The great State of Missouri in the Geographical Center is unquestionably favored by nature more than any other of the American L'nion, as attested bj' her boundless treasures of rich soil, coal, iron, 258 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and zinc, lead, copper and well distributed forests of the best timber, abundantly supplied with water from the graceful dowing streams and sparkling springs, while certainly none have been more for- tunate in the character, enterprise and intelligence of its people; for these reasons, and judging by the rapid and substantial progress of the past, we may confidently expect the future to place on her bro.w the crown of tirst place among the States. Ber. Henry Ward Beecher said: "All admit the State of Missouri, in natural resources, leads all the rest, and is the crown and glory of the Union." ^* ^^ f^^ ^^ ^^ MISSOURI.

It lias been truly said that the ancient boast,"All roads lead to Rome." might with equal pro- priety and without distortion of facts be changed to "All roads lead to Missouri." Located as she is, about midway between the Atlantic and Pacific. A State that "graples hold upon Mexico and Central America on the South, and upon Alaska and British America on the North, and through which is a thoroughfare to the golden gate of the Pacific." She is the very heart of the Union, with resources enough to nourish the whole body. The area of Missouri is sixty-nine thousand four hundred and fifteen square miles or about forty-five million acres; such a vast extent that the entire states of Maine,, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware could be put down side by side within its boundaries and stil' leave a margin of nine hundred square miles. But few portions of the world are so well watered as Missouri. The 5Iississippi river washes the entire eastern boundary. The Missouri washes it on the west from the northwest corner southward for two hundred and fifty miles, and hence on clear through the heart of the State. These two mighty rivers have many tributaries, large and small; and springs in large numbers and great varieties refresh and beautify all parts of the State. Missouri has no desert lands. No words can describe the beauty and grandeur of her native forests. Walnut trees one hundred and ten feet high and twenty-two feet in circumference; oak trees one hundred and twen ty-five feet high and twenty feet in circumference; sycamores one hundred and thirty feet high and twelve feet in diameter; hickory, elm, gum, birch, cedar and pine, all grow in every part of the State, and from these, in 1898, Missouri, after using all she needed in each district, exported three hundred and fifty million feet of lumber; forty million feet of logs, besides six thousand three hundred and seventy-one cars of cord wood, three thousand care of cooperage and four million ties. The soil of fully two-thirds of the State is adapted to the raising of all the small fruits. The southern part being famous not only in the United States but in Europe as the "land of the big red apple." The fruit crop alone in Missouri amounts to twenty-six million dollars annually, and as a producer of corn, wheat, oats, hay and potatoes no country in the world can surpa.ss her. Missouri does not claim to be a cotton producing State, but in 1S9S more than one million two hun- dred thousand dollars worth of that product was sent to market, and the cotton seed products amounted to about sixteen million pounds. She stands first in the production of mules, hogs and poultry. Fortune has been kind and set the boundary lines of this State around a portion of country filled with an unusual amount of the mineral sub stances useful in the manufacturer's art. There is no territory of equal extent on the globe which contains so many different kinds and such large quantities of the most useful minerals as the State of Missouri: and though her mineral wealth has hardly been touched she ranks first in the production of lead and zinc, producing more of the latter than all the other states combined. Her iron fields, including Iron Mountain, which covers five hundred acres, and Pilot Knob, are almost inexhaustible. The coal area of Missouri is said to be twenty-three thousand square miles, and her coal mines produced in one year recently almost three million tons of coal, and that is said to be a small amount compared with what might be produced annually. In addition to its immense lead, zinc, iron and coal industries ^Missouri also has silver and copper; great beds of glass sand, pottery, tile, brick clay and an endless variety of building stone; granite lime- stone, sandstone and marble, and for purely ornamental purposes, a Mexican onyx, susceptible of the most beautiful polish. Missouri has had a wonderful history which reads almost like a fairy tale. Some of her inhabitants yet living can remember when she was a part of the district of Louisiana, Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 259 a wild waste of forest and praiiic. witlioiit a iiojiulatioii; the home of the Indian and tlie buffalo, and now sueh has been her thr"ft, she ranks in i)Oiiulation as fifth in the sisterhood of the forty-five states which compose the American Union, and boasts of a taxable wealth of almost one billion dollars. In many lines of business and manufacture Missouri'& cities lead the world. St. Louis is the great metropolis of the West; stretching nineteen mik^s along the Mississippi river and about eleven miles back from the river front. She has twenty-one railroads, and their cars arrive and depart from the largest and most perfectly equipped depot in the whole world. This limited space barely admits mention of her great population of six hundred and eighty-five thousand, her manufactories, mercantile houses and various industries. Viewed from the dome of her highest building one can hardly believe that this vast city can be the growth of less than a century, and seven-eighths of it has grown there inside of twenty-five years. Kansas City, Missouri, has the second live stock market of America, and many of her smaller cities are examples of wonderful advancement. The population of Missouri is estimated at about three million two hundred and fifty thousand. As to the character and quality of her people she admits no superior. Her most distinguished sons and daughters have become so by honest toil, combined with intelligence. ^lissouri takes a proud ])osition in the educational world. and enjoys the high distinction of having the largest public school fund of any state in the Union. She has a State University, three Normal schools, and a school for the higher education of colored people. She has three insane asylums, a school for the blind, a reform school for boys and an industrial home for girls, where the kindest care is taken of her unfortunates. I have space to mention only a few of ilissouriV sons who have risen above the ranks to distinction and world wide fame. Marvin, the preacher, Eugene Field, the poet, Clemens, better known all over the world as "ilark Twain," the humorous writer, were all born in Missouri. She has produced Statesmen in plenty; in the United States Senate and in Congress have "jeen seated many Missourians of whom she is justly proud. Among the list of her own governors may be found the names of several who were born and reared in Missouri. We have seen that in all the elements of desirable location, area, fertility of soil, inexhaustible mines, and enterprise ^Missouri is an empire in itself, but not half of her possibilities have been told. She is a land of infinite promise, and giving the broadest welcome to all honorable men and women •wliatever creed or clime in the future. "Rising rugged and reiiant, Lilie Aiiteus. the old giant.

Tlie First Uaptist chiiicli of JettVrsdii City, was not always the strong, j)rospei-ous and influential congregation it is today. Its history affords a striking illustration of the great advantages enjoyed by the citizens of the Capital City of the present over those who struggled with the circumstances attending its early history. The first organization was July 8, 1837, in what was then the new capitol of a new- and undeveloped State. The original members were Daniel and Ann Colgan, Jason and Sally Harrison, P. H. and Sarah Steinbergen, Eachcl Walker, Ava Eice, and three colored persons named General. Adam and Jennie. The presbyterj' was composed of Elders Kemp Scott, M. D. Noland and K. S. Thomas. Immediately after the organization five additional members were re- ceived by recommendation. Elder ^M. D. Xoland was first pastor being followed by Elders Kemp Scott, S. H. Ford, W. W. Keep, T. F. Lockett and J. A. Hollis. This list includes all who served the organi- tion as pastor previous to the war of the Eebellion. The original meetings were in the private homes of the members, the ordinance of Baptism being ad- ministered in the Missouri river and neighboring creeks. In 1S3S they purchased ground on Monroe and Miller and began the erection of a building, al- 1 hough the entire cost of the structure was less in dollars and cents than ore fourth that of the founda- tion of the present magnificent church home; it required four years of struggle and self denial for this little band to complete the house which was dedicated in 1842; the building also beinsr used for school purposes, another evidence of the marked ad- vantages of today when contemplated in connection with the number of magnificent brick structures now devoted to educational purposes. Unable to longer brave the discouraging circumstances with which the little flock was burdened they disbanded giving each other letters of dismission. Two years later there was a struggle for renewed life but the struggle was without fruition as there is no record of any meeting during the period of five years from 1847 to 1852. In 1858 Elders A. P. Williams, M. D. Noland and W. B. Walthall, held a protracted meeting which resulted in renew^ed strength but soon after, the tragic events of war Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 261 made anotlier blank in llu' lii.stoiy of the ()r}j;aiii/,a tion which did not meet diuiug tlie strife of ISOl to 1SC5. Elder R. H. Harris, was called to the pas- torate immediately after the war and was succeed- ed by Elder W. J. Patrick, under whose wise and faithful work the little church toolv on new life, sell- ing the old building they began the erection of an- other on Monroe street between Main and High. This building was dedicated. Dr. G. J. Johnston preaching the sermon, January 29, 1871. Elder Pat- rick resigned in lS7(t, his successors being Elders C. H. Hurlbet and Evans both of whosi' services were of short duration. In 1873 the chunli called to its pastorate Elder T. W. Barrett who al though entering upon his labors under most un favorable circumstances, by wise and jiatient man agement the church was cleared of a burdensome debt and gained spii'itual strength and membership. He was succt'cded in 1881 by Elder Kay Palmer, an orator of zeal and ability, who resigned in 1887 be- ing succeeded by Elder J. T. ^t. Johnston, whose qualitications admirably titled him for the pastorate of a church m the Capital City. His thorough knowl- edge of men and tine social (lualities with his ability as a speaker, soon drew around him a large congre- gation of enthusiastic admirers. The church was too small to accommodate the largely increased at- tendance and arrangements were made to sell the huilding which was done and the present well ap- pointed and modern structure was erected on Main and Monroe streets at a cost of about |13.0()0. Both the prompt erection and perfectly designed arrange ments of the entire church building, (which in ad- dition to the large and well appointed auditorium, includes a Sunday school room on the tirst tlnoi-, while in the tinished basement are the clniirli ]iar lors, jiastor's study, and, in fact, every con\enii'nce tor the hiMue of this now strong and zealous organi zation with its fully alive and active auxiliaries) is due greatly to the efforts of the building com- mittee composed of J. W. Edwards. H. A. (iass, G M. Maus and J. R. Lanikin The church was dedi- cated on Xoveml)er 11, 1888, Dr. Green of St. Louis preached the dedicatory sermon while Dr. T. ^V. Barrett of Columbie ottered the dedicatory prayer. While Di'. Johnston was pastor, the church bought the beautiful home at 513 East High street for a parsonage. During Dr. Johnston's ten years ser- vices as pastor, this congregation was greatly en riched spiritaully by his earnest and zealous efforts for Christ and materially benefitted by his able and marked ability as a financier. He resigned, accept- ing a call from Delmar Avenue Bajjtist church of S(. Louis, of wliirh he is at jiresent ]>astor. He was succeeded by Ke\-. W. (". Taylor of Frankfort, Ken- tucky, a man of great pulpit powers who for two years preached with great acceptance to both the church and community. He resigned August 18. 1M)'J, accepting a cull from the College Avenue Bap- tist church of Indianapolis, Indiana, where he is now serving. The pastor, Elder W. T. Campbell, under whose spiritual guidance the church with all its auxiliaries is in a most happy and prosperous condition, is the successor of Dr. Taylor. The pres- ent officers of the church are: H. A. Gass, mod- erator; W. W. Hutchinson, clerk; T. M. Hampton, lie.isurei-; James A. Ellis, Houck McHenry, E. L. P.umi)us, L. S. Parker, Porter Gilvin, Dr. H. E. Ham- men andi J. B. Reynolds are the trustees; W. W. Hutchinson, H. W. Clarke, Benj. Hampton, G. M. ]\raus and T. H. ^^'hitney deacons. H. A. Gass is superintendent of the flourishing Sunday school, numbering nearly IMKI scholars. Byron Leslie is sec- retary of the Sunday school and president of the B. Y. P. U., which society numbers 70 members; the secretary is Mrs. Byron Leslie. Mrs. H. W. Clarke is president of the Ladies' Social Circle. The pastor is the teacher of the Bible class, which, at their reg- ular meetings on Friday evening, engages in a thorough and systematic study of the bible. Tht finance committee is the deacons, trustees and the treasurer. The membership numbers 373. This church is highly favored in its pastor, various offi- cials, earnest, zealous members, and its modern, well appointed home. KI-:\'. \V. T. CAMPBELL. Rev. William Tinsley Campbell, jiastor First Baptist church of Jefferson City, was born in Sear- cy county, Arkansas, iMarch 9, 1852. His father, G. W. Campbell, was a native of Tennessee. He was a captain in the Confederate army in the war of the Rebellion and while in service died December, 1802. In the misfortunes of war the family lost their ])re, being in company with Dr. H. M. Wharton, who wrote the delightful book "A Picnic in Pales- tine," which has not only afforded A'ery great pleas- ure to the lovers of the .sacred traditions connected with that country, but has been a source from which to gather a more thorough knowledge of the coun- try which compassed the scenes and incidents in the life of Christ. Keturning from Europe Rev. <'ampbell spent several months in Baltimore and Chicago studying men and methods. In 1892, he was elected corresponding secretary of the Missouri Baptis- General Association His administration ot this office, which he filled the following five years, reflects very great credit on his worth as an earn- est Christian worker and tact as an organizer. This jiosition he resigned to accei)t a call to the pastorate i)f South I'ark church of Kansas City, a new church of sixty members, which he left three years later on being called to his present jiastorate with one hun dred and eighty members. Rev. Campbell was uni- ted in marriage December 29, 1880, to Miss Jennie, daughter of J. E. Spurgeon of Pettis county, Mis- souri. Of the two children born to this union, one died in infancy while the other, Spurgeon Broadus, was an infant of one week, when his mother died, January 28. 1888, leaving him to the tender care of her sister. Rev. Campbell was married a second time May 25, 1892, to Miss Emma E. Spurgeon, a sister of his first wife, a lady of culture, a graduate of the Lexington (Mo.) Baptist Female college, and thoroughly in symi)athy with the noble life work of her husband. Of the two children born to them, Mary Emma, is a bright child of three years. Rev. Cam])bell is blessed with a good mind and body and although he had to secure his education by the work of his hands, his zeal for the cause which he served su]i]iorted by an indomitable will, has given him unusual advantages of both §tudy and travel. His trip to foieign lands was made at a period when Iti'v. W. T. Campbell. his ripened and recejitive mind could profit much by a visit to the scenes around which cluster the sacred associations of the Master while on earth; observations of which he uses most effectively in presenting the story of the cross. His ministerial work has been attended with continued and uniform success, and eveiy field which has been so fortunate as to secure his services was left greatly enriched in spiritual strength, numbers and material wealth. He is w^hat may be termed an Evangelistic pas- tor, yet Ills wonderful tact as an organizer gives to him greater force and influence in the great relig- ious organization, of which he is an able and worthy exponent, than is usual with men who possess the qualifications necessary to a successful Evangelist. The eminent Dr. W. Pope Yeaman, D. D., in his his- tory of the Misouri Bai)tist Associaton, says of Rev, Campbell: "The results of his labors during his five years services as corresponding secretary of the association, is the best commentary which can be Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 263 made on his adajitation to the office. During his term, Missouri, in common with the whole country, passed through a dark and most disastrous period of financial embarrassment following the crisis of 1873. Nevertheless the financial foundations of the great Missouri Baptist Association was kept solid and prosperous while many secular enterprises went down in disaster. His uniform urbanity as a Chris- tian gentleman, his generous impulse looking out through a radiant face; his large heart jialpitating under genuine fellowship with his brethren; his warm and earnest gosjjel sermons, and his pathetic appeals for the destitute fields and the missionaries, contributed to make this most satisfactory record. During these five vears, 300 missionaries were em- ployed, 6,780 converts reported and 156,939.59 was I'aised for State missions. It is worthy of note that more persons were baptized by the missionaries of the (ieneial Association during his administration than during any other five years in the history of that body." The First Baptist church of Jefferson City is fortunate is securing as their spiritual ad- visor so able a preacher and one who comes to them with such a varied and rich experience. The church, under his pastorate with all its auxilaries, is in a most ju-osperous and happy condition. The Rev. Campbell makes his home with his genial, devoted wife and interesting children in the Baptist parson- age, a sj)lendidly api)ointed home which the con- gregation has provided for their pastor on East High street. ^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^ f^^ ST. PETER'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. In nothing is the spiritual, intellectual and ma- terial progress of Jefferson City so comj)letely illustrated as in a review of St. Peter's church, and parish, the history of which is most fascinating, and properly presented would till a volume larger than this. In 1831, occurred the first visit of a Catholic Filsl ('atlii)li(/ Chm-rh. Ercrli'd lS4(i. priest to Jefferson City. Of the number of families of that belief living in the county at that time there is no record, but from that year the visits of the itinerant missionary priests Mere reg- ular, with an ever-increasing freijuency. The records kept in the diocesan chancery of St. Louis reckon Jefferson City the oOtli ]iarish in the diocese and state that in 1S31 the first holy mass was cele- brated by Eev. Phoenix L. Verrevdt, a native of Father Ilelias. First Spirilual Advisor. Belgium and a member of the Society of Jesus, at that time resident at the Indian mission of Portage des Sioux, St. Charles, Mo. The same records state that Jefferson City was again visted by the Jesuits in 1836, and it is presumable that these zealous mis- sionaries did not neglect the Catholics of Cole county in the intervening period. In 1838 Father Helias came to Xew \yestphalia (now in Osage 264 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and county, then a part of tiasconailc) as resident mis- sionary priest, and from there made regular montli ly tours through the adjacent counties; his visits including twenty-flve missions, among them Taos and Jefferson City. There being no church at that time in Jefferson City, the meeting was in a private house. He placed the mission under the patronage of St. Ignatius, who continued to be venerated by the mission as their jjatron saint until the year 1S46, when the first church was built and dedicated under the title of St. Peters. In 1842 Father Helias transferred his residence, by order of his superior, to Taos, from which place he continued to attend the flock at Jefferson City until the appointment of a resident pastor in 1840. In 1845 the Catholics of Jefferson City were sufficiently numerous to un- dertake the erection of abuilding. There being no resident priest here, the following named laymen: J. W. Wolters. G. II. Dulle, Anton Maus, M. Wallendorf, F. Roer, B. Eveler. G. Firmer, P. Meyers, C. and F. Kolkmeyer, J. H. Gels,G. H. Kroeger, J. H. Kroeger, J. II. Ileitker, P. Reisdorff, B. Rephlo,'H. B. Kack- ers, Herman Tellman and Patrick Buckley, undertook the then Herculean task. The result of the united ef- forts of these pious and earnest christians ' [is shown by the cut of the first building found in this article. Soon after the erection of the church, Messrs. J. B. Wolters and B. Eveler were sent to St. Louis to request of the Kight Rev. P. K. Kendrick to grant them a resident spiritual advisor. Rev. Jame.s S. !Mnr]>hy was chosen and assumed the duties of resident pastor in July 1840.

Soon after his ordination he was sent to Lexington, Mo., where he presided over the parish as pastor until transferred to the more im- portant field of Jefferson City, St. Peter's having lost, by death, the beloved pastor, Rev. H. Meurs, August 24, 1876. From the day of his arrival, September 20, 1876, St. Peter's parish has made sub- stantial progress, spiritually, in- tellectually and financially. Dur- ing his pastorate the present ele- gant church building, with its cloud-piercing spire, has been erected. Its grand auditorium seats nearly 1,000: the double groined vaulted ceiling is sup- ported by two majestic tiers of ]iill()ws, dividing the spacious room into three naves: the cen- tral celling being 56 feet high, while those of the sides are 42.

On the year nf their arriAal in St. Louis, both parents were victims to the cholera epidemic, leaving their son an orphan at the age of nine. Father Uland, C. M., who at tended his ])arents in their closing hours, took an interest in the bright orphan lad and placed him in St. Vincent's Orphanage, where he remained ti\c years, during which time a desire to consecrate his life to the service of the blaster grew dominant in his youthful breast. In 1S5!1 he entered the St. Louis University, an educational institution in charge of the Fathers of the Society of Jesus. In Sei)tember.

In fact, all the statuary and other ornaments of this magnificently appointed auditorium are grandly pleasing in effect, and when the spacious room is filled with the glorious harmony of the cultured voices of the choir, supported by rich volume of melody from the organ, the eft'ect is in- tensely satisfying and inspiring.

The German Evangelical Central congregation of Jefferson City is a member of the German Evan- gelical Synod of North America, a church associa- tion which advocates the union of the two branches of the Protestant church, the Lutheran and Re- formed. The history of this church association is a remarkable exemplification of the parable of the mustard seed from which sprang and grew quite a large tree. In 1840, six ministers of the gospel hav- ing charge of German congregations in the vicinity of St. Louis, met in a little log chnruh in Gravois Settlement, St. Louis county, Missouri, and ther( formed an organization called "The Evangelica' Church Association of the West." This was the in significant beginning of the above mentioned Evan gelical Synod, which is now represented in almosi all states of the I'nion and in Canada, numbering 900 ministers, 1,1:J0 congregations, 61,500 members 25.500 associate members and 195.000 communi cants. The congregation at Jefferson City was or ganized as early as ISoS, but for more than tw( vears was without a regular pastor, services beinf Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 267 caducted at certaiu iiiteivals by itiiieiant preach- 1 5. The meeting were held in private houses of 1 Mubers until 1859, when a plain bi'iik church was ijilt at a cost of about §1.500. In June. ISCO. Rev. seph Eieger, one of the pioneer preachers and i unders of the Evangelical Synod, became the first ttled pastor of the congregation. Soon after his rival a parsonage was built at a cost of §1,300. le efforts of this pious, sincere and kind-hearted pastor were signally blessed and the congregation lourished under his leadership. Although of a frail constitution he was an indefatigable worker and Dot only administered to the wants of his own flock, but was ever willing to do good wherever he had an opportunity. During the civil war he voluntar- ily and gratuitously performed the duties as chap- lain of the state penitentiary. It was no uncommon thing during that tragic period to find the parson- age turned into a hospital, where sick and wounded privates and officers were being nursed by him. He was well known to the state officers, being intimate with a number of them. The colored race never had a better friend than Mr. Rieger. and he was one of the first and principal promoters of Lincoln Insti- stute, serving as a member of the Board of Regents of said institute until his death. On the 20th of August, ISfj'.t ■•Father" Rieger, as he was common ly known, was called from his sphere of activity iind the mortal remains of this faithful servant of the Lord were laid to rest in the church cemetery in the presence of the Governor, many state oflii- cers, all the preachers of the city, a large congrega- tion, but especially the poor and common people- whom he had befriended by his many benevolent acts. In November, 1861), Rev. E.Huber, a young, able and energetic divine who, for more than one year, had been the assistant of Rev. Rieger, was unani- mously elected by the congregation as pastor, and as such he continued until January, 1874. During his administration a two-story school building was erected and the paro- chial school established. Rev. Huber was succeeded by Rev. H. Klerner, who assumed charge of the congregation in May, 1874, and directed its aft'airs until June, 187C, when he resigned, removing to St. Louis. For the next five years, from 1876 to 1881, Rev. C. Haas was pastor in charge, and after his resignation in October, 1881, the congregation se- cured the services of Rfev. C. A. Richter, a very eloquent preacher. In October, 1888, Rev. J. L". Schneider became his successor and proved a faithful and pru- dent worker. The old church building being inadequate for ,the needs of the growing congregation it was decided to erect a larger and more modern house of worshi]!. In 1892 the contract for the new cluircli was awarded to Mr. Fred Hinder, the president of the congregation. With pardonable ]>ride the congregation may point to its substantial and beautiful church edifice, which has been erected and furnished at a cost of §10,000. After serving the congregation five years w i t h marked success. Eev. Schneider in 1893, accepted a call as Principal of Was li i ngt II ii High School, and Rev.Th. L. Muel- ler, the present pastor, was chosen as his successor. In 1898 the value of the church pro- perty was greatly enhanced by the erection of a modern and commo- dious parsonage. The congregation is in a prosper- ous condition. The present enrolled membership is 24.5, viz. : Men's Association, 101 ; Ladies' Society, 99, I'arsuuage. 268 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and and Youug Ladies' Society, 45 members. The num- ber of commuuu-ants is greater than the enrolled membership. The church officers are: F. H. Binder, I'resident; H. Jens, Secretary; W. Linke- meyer, Treasurer; H. Dallmeyer, A. Doerrer, H. Faust. Trustees; (). J. Krueger, Collector. Miss Pauline Dallmeyer. a young lady of ability who has just finished lit-r education in Germany, has charge of the parochial school. The position of organist and director of the choir is tilled by Prof. S. T. Schroetter, a musician of rare talent and culture. The congregation maintains a Sunday school, hav- ing an eni-ollment of l!()() children, with an average attendance (if l.")(), the superintendent of which is the jiastor. The President of the Ladies' Society is Mrs. Fred H. Binder; Vice-President, Mrs. Th. L. Mueller; SeC: retary. Mrs. A. Zuendt; Treasurer, Mrs. Jacob Tan- ner. This (u-ganization assists in procuring finances for benevolent purposes and missions. The of- ficers of the Young Toadies' Society are: ^L'ss Tillie Tanner, I'resident; Jliss Minnie Opel, Vice-Presi- dent; ^liss Tillie Faust, Secretary; Miss Lizzie Gru- lier. Treasurer. The auxiliaries of the German Evan- gelican Central church, all of which have com- fortable quartei's, including the Sunday school in their social home in the well furnished basement, are in healthy working condition. It is really a I)leasure to note a congregation and pastor so liaji l>y in all their relations, and where all freely d<) their duty to this great uplifting factor in the cap- ital city. REV. T. L. MUELLER. Rev. Tlieophil Liinis Mueller pastor of the Ger- man Evangelical Central church of Jefferson Citv, was born in Okawville, Illinois, March 5, 1803. He IS a son of the distinguished Rev. Andrew Mueller, now of St. Louis, a prominent minister of the san.e denomination (now retired). His mother was Minnie Franke, both parents being natives of Germany. At thirteen years of age, the subject of this sketch entered Elmhurst College at Elmhurst, 111., where lie continued thrw^ years, graduating in 1880.

Moving from this place to Lexington, he assisted his brother-in-law in the furniture business, and at his death (which occurred soon after) assisted iu winding up his estate. Kev. Pinkerton had for several years been impressed that it was his duty to preach the gospel, to which he responded, occasionally with short sermons. He was not, however, ordained to preach until 1879, by the Christian church, Greenup, Ky., where he continued as pastor the following four years. He was later two years at Grayson in Northeast Ken- tucky, removing from there to Terrell, Texas, where lie was pastor of the Christian church two years, when he resigned, accepting a call to McKinney, Texas, from which place, after three years, he re- moved to Austin, the capital of that state, where lie served as pastor two years. From Austin he removed to Springfield, Mo., where he remained as pastor of the Christian church the following six years, and although all the churches of which he had charge were greatly enriched in spiritual and material wealth during his pastorate (two of his congregations building a church during his adminis- tration) it M-as at Springfield his efforts were crowned with the most marked success. During his pastorate of this church there were 500 addi- tions. When he resigned, the memberhsip being over 700. At the request of the State Board, who felt the denomination should have a strong repre- sentative in the pulpit of the Capital City, he came to his present charge. Rev.

In 1881, he responded to a call to the pulpit of the First chui'ch of Emi>oria, Kan., where, in addition to the duties of pastor of the church, he was president of the New Presbyterian College, the exacting duties of which, one year later, re- quired his resignation as pastor of the church. Here he remained ten years, and in addition to the duties of directing the educational affairs of the institution, he was its financial director, which in- cluded the raising of a large sum of money; $50,000 of which, by the exercise of his strong personal, backed by a good cause, he was able to gather from the wealthier people of the older settled eastern states.

He com- I^leted the law course at Columbia, and was ad- mitted to practice, but on the death of his father, in 18T;^>, was elected clerk of the Supreme Court (a circuni.stance which changed the course of his life and took from the bar one of its most intellectual and promising members). He was elected and served four terms in this important position, resign- ing after a continuous service of eighteen years. In 1884 he purchased a controlling interest in the Tribune Printing Company and became its presi- dent and the editor of the daily and weekly Tribune, which, under his skillful and able direction, assisted by his great personal influence, became one of the strongest elements in guiding the course of Dem- ocracy- in the State. He continued the head and director of this powerful organ of Democracy until his death, at Battle Creek, Michigan (where he had gone two weeks previous to seek relief), September 1, lSt)8. Mr. Ewing was a distinguished represen- tative of one of the most intellectual and cultured families of the State, and one of exceptional social and i)()litical intluenre. His father. Judge E. B. Ewing, was secretary of State, attorney-general, cir- cuit judge and twice Supreme judge. His mother, Elizabeth Allen Ewing. whose home is on East Main street, this city, is a sister of Governor Henry Allen Watkins of Louisiana, for w'hom he was named. His accomplished and devoted wife (a lady of rare culture and personal beauty), who survives him, was Miss Mattie V. Chappell of Jefferson City. His brothers-in-law are prominent in social, political and financial circles. They are F. M. Cockrell, now nearly thirty years United States Senator from Missouri; Hon. Phil. E. Chappell of Kansas City, a ])rominent and wealthy financier; Judge J. L. Smith, presiding judge of the Kansas City Court of Ap- peals, one of the ablest jurists of the State; the re- cently deceased Hon. John R. Walker of Kansas City; Maj. T. O Towles, deputy State superintendent of insurance, is the husband of his sister, Florence. Other members of the Ewing family in Jefferson City and in other i)arts of the State are i)rominent in financial, politicnl and social circles. One of his most intimate friends and political class-mates was the versatile Eugene Field, the children's poet. Also his class-mates at the State University were Hon. James E. Cooney, at present a member of Con- gress; Judge Switzler of Omaha; Prof. T. A. John- son of Boonville; Roswell iL Field of Chicago, and a number of others who have since become distin- guished. The lanientfd Hon. Richard P. Bland was a most devoted friend, ilr. Ewing having in charge his cam])aign when a candidate for the nomination for president before the Chicago convention. He was for many years a member of the Missouri Press Association, and its president one term, 1896 and 1897. Mr. Ewing needs none of the cold conceits of sculptured marble to preserve his memory to the people of Jefferson City and the State. When you ask one in Jefferson City to tell you something of Henry Ewing, you can see an expression cover the face which tells plainly that in speaking of Henry Ewing, those who knew him intimately, feel keenly the inefficiency of words to express the love and high esteem in which they hold dear the memory of this manly man. With many unbidden tears will start when your questions recall recollections of his handsome form, pleasant face, genial and courtly manners, kind and gentlemanly deportment.

He was a scholar, jour- nalist and political counselor, eminent among' ilis- sourians, eloquent in speech, elegant in presence, never an office-seeker, hut a powerful intiuence in the support of his friends, to whom he gave his un- swerving devotion. He had the courage of his con victions, but was always fair, chivalrous in battle, and those who opposed his views could not but love him and admire his noble qualities.

A. P. GRIMSHAW. Arthur P. Clrinishaw, Mayor of Jefferson City, was born in Nottingham, England, Jan, 20, 18-19. His parents, Jonathan and Eliza Maria (Topham) Orimsbaw, came to this country when he was an infant, stopping in 8t. Louis, after six years remov- ing to Jefferson City. Here the subject of this sketch received the educational advantages afforded by the city schools, after which he attended Wy- man's University of 8t. Louis, where he graduated, in 18G1. He then accepted a position with the United States Express Company as messenger on the Missouri Pacific, bi'tween 8t. Louis and Atchi- son, Kansas, in which capacity he served IS years, and was then made cashier of the United States Express office at Atchison. Resigning this position, he was apjiointed assistant postmaster of Jefferson City under Capt. Steininger during President Har- rison's administration, serving one year. He was elected ("(junty Clerk, in 1884, to fill an unexpired term of two years, and again elected, in 1886, for full term. He was ajipointed joint agent for the I'acirtc and United States Express Companies to succeed his father, Jonathan Grimshaw, in 18U0, in connection with which he is ticket agent for the Chicago and Alton Railroad at Jefferson City. In 18!tl he was elected mayor of the city, serving two terms of two years each, and after an interval of four years, the citizens feeling the need of his effi- cient services, lie was again elected to this impor- tant off'ice. He was the first president of the Com- mercial Club of Jefferson City, and was one of the leading spirits in its organization; was the first superintendent of the Jefferson City Bridge and Transit Comjiany, serving two years. He is a Mason, member of the Rlue Lodge, Cliap- ter and Commandery. Is an active member of the Grace Episcopal church, of which he is treasurer.

Their two sons, Kemp Goodlow and Arthur Perry, are owners and proprietors of the Grimshaw Broth- ers Grocery, of Jefferson City. Mr. Grimshaw is a broad, practical business man, whose worth is appreciated and recognized by the Capital City, of which he is now the official head.

His early edu- at Columbia. In this jKJsition his legal ability aud long experience as a practitioner were evidenced in the able councils and decisions made while on the bench. AVhen attorney-general he instituted aud conducted with marked skill and ability the great suit of the State of Missouri to set aside the ques- tionable sale of the Missouri I'acific railroad, made by the Republican administration under (iov. Fletcher. His distinguished associates in the case being Hon. I'.ritton A. Hill and Frank Bowman. Mr. Ewing was united in marriage Dec. 12, 185.5, to Miss Georgia, daughter of Walter G. and Emily A. Chiles of (Jlasgow. Jlissouri, in which place the father was a prominent merchant. Mrs. Ewing is a niece of the late <'reu. Sterling iPapi Price. General Ewing. during his long residence in the city of his nativity, has been a prominent figure in its material and intellectual progress. His intelligent and earn- est opposition to the removal of the capital was marked and effective. He killed the bill for a prop- osition to submit the question to the voters when a member of the Legislature, and it was from his well poi.sed legal mind came the able documents which presented the legal ])hase in opposition to the measure. His active op])osition to the removal con- tinued until the important question was finally settled. General Ewing is a consistent mamber of the M. E. church iSouthi of this city, of which he is a steward. He is a man of broad mind and liberal culture, with a rich aud varied experience and a reputation as a citizen, lawyer and scholar second to none in the State. We (juote the words of a few eminent men who know him intimately. Former Adjutant General John B. Waddill said of him: ■■•hidge 11. <-'lay Ewing is a lawyer of ability, a jurist of experience, a more capable and upright citizen is not in the State." Former Governcu' Pi-oct. Hale, a member of Congress from the Second dis- trict: "He is a man of rare character and excej)- tional legal attainments." Judge Robert D. Ray, formerly on the Supreme bench of Missouri: "I have known General Ewing for many years as an able and experienced lawyer, a gentleman of high character, of unquestioned personal integrity and professional standing." Judge J. L. Smith, presid- ing judge of the Court of Appeals: ''He is a thoroughly accomplished, learned, able and upright lawyer and jurist." Hon. John W. Henry, ex-judge of the Supreme Court of Missouri: "He is a lawyer of high standing, having served with distinction as attornej-general of the State, and more recently as a member of the Supreme Court Commission. The manner in which he discharged the duties of the latter office was entirely satisfactory to every member of the court and to the bar of the State, and through his term of seivice he not only sustained, but added to his reputation as a lawyer of ability, and demonstrated his possession of all the (lualities requisite to fit one for a high judicial position."

His ancesters came from Ireland to Amer- ica in 1618. settling in Virginia. His father was William McCarty, a large land owner in Virginia, and his mother an English lady who was visiting in the family of George Washington, then President of the I'nited States, when he met and married her. Mr. jMcCarty was raised on a farm and educated at Virginia University, at Charlotte, Yn. When of age he went South to make his fortune, and in 1835 came to ^Missouri, first settling in Fayette, Howard county, and in July, 1886, came to Jefferson City, where he remained till his death.

Eight children were born to this union — four still sui'viviug. In June, 1838, he ]iurchased the ground and erected a commodious home which is now a part of the McCarty House. From taking to his home traveler friends who of the hotel: "This house is located in Jett'er.son City, but it belongs to Missouri; it is a memory, a tradition and superstition, and yet as royal a real- ity as ever had a real old ^'irginia cook in its kitchen, who yet retains, in all of its glory, the lost art of making a genuine pot of cotfee and baking a skillet of genuine corn bread. If that old house could think and write, what a wonderful book it could publish of two generations of Missourians, the first generation having to do with pioneers, the State knows il, and to the jioliticians of the State it llias been as a hill, a ravine or a skirt of timber from behind which to perfe^-t their andnishments. Its atmosphere is the atmosphere of a home circle. It has no barroom, and therein lies the benediction which follows the i)rayer.

He was at last discovered, sewing up and dressing his own wound, and when Dr. McDowell, his old surgi- cal instructor and friend, said: "Winston, let me attend to you," he replied: "Xo, T>octor; go where you may save a life, I do not think my wound is fatal," Unfortunately there are few such charac- ters. He was a man among men. O. E. RUROH. Oscar K.

Mr. Mosby attended a country district school until thirteen years of aj^c when he bef-an working at the i)rinter's trade. At the age of seventeen he went to the State of California to follow that trade, but had worked there but a few months when family affairs called him home. In 1892 he was associated with his brotlu'r Bayard as editor and publisher of the I'nterriticd Democrat, at Linn, Mo., and during that great "free trade" campaign the tariff (jiiestion was discussed in his editorials with a degree of clearness that showed the writer to be perfect master of his subject. He wields a facile pen, and many of his essays are well known, a few of which may be briefly menlioui'd here. In IS'.m; his first essay on "Church Taxation" was published in the Xorth American Review. The bold stand taken in defense of the churches, and the great scliolai'ship and invincible logic which the author arrayed in d«'fense of his position, caused the article to be discussed, especially in religious cir- cles, througlmnt the rnited States. It was pub licly assailed in New V which were circulated in Missouri, contributii greatlv. no doubt, to the popular movement whi( culmiiiiited in the enactment of the FellowServai act of IsilT.

TMiile ^Ir. ^losby has always been a Democrat. he wiites his political creed with but a single word — "Justice;" and in thesei'viceof this [uinciple from which all good doctrines flow, his voice and pen have ever been enlisted.

MICHAEL SCHUBERT. In the commercial world there is now developing in all the jirincipal cities large department stores, the result of the enterprise and the executive abili- ty of some one individual. We find these giant cf.niineicial establishments now' in all of the large cities. In riiiladelphia, for instance, John Wanna- nniker is the head of the list. In Chicago, Marshall Field; in St. Louis, Barr, Crawford and others; but <:ne would hardly exi)ect to find an establishment entitled to class proportionately with these great concerns in a village in Cole county, yet such is the case. The well appointed and managed general store of the Schubert-Weiler Mercantile Company at Kussellville is the largest and best appointed de- partment store in the county. Their ground floor sjiace (every foot of which is utilized to accommo- date their large and varied stock of merchandise, which includes everything needed by a human be- ing, from the cradle to the grave) is 54 by 128 feet; in addition, the u])iier rooms are used for dujilicate stock, fninituie. hardware, etc. The head and I'lcs- iili-nr (if this conijianv is Michael Schubert, who was born on a farm in Cole county, near Taos.

Steffens, at Decatur, continu- ing four years, when they dissolved partnership and he removed to Barnett. in ^lorgan county, where he purchased a stock of goods and continued a most successful business the following six years. From there he removed to Kussellville in lS!t5. where he was one of the organizers of the Kussellville Ex- ih.ange Bank, of which he w'as cashier for two vears. (liwing which lime, however, he was also engaged in the furniture and hardware business, which assumed such jiropoitions that he resigned his ]iosition in the bank in order to give this his whole attention.' In 1S!)7. in order to acconunodate the stock for his largely increasing business, he extended his store building back 128 feet. In the fall of 18118, Mr. WCiler (wild is at jireseut associated with him in husinessi leiited one of his store rooms and engaged in the general dry goods business. The association and observalion resulting from their close business relations develo]ied a mutual respect and confidence, which resulted in their uniting their mercantile in- terests anil incorj)orating under the present firm name of the Schubert-Weiler Mercantile Company. As a result of their united interests their trade is greatly extended, many buyers coming a distance of fifteen or twenty miles, being drawn by their low prices, large and varied stock from which to make selections. :Mr. Schubert was married September 29, 1889. to Miss Mary, daughter of ihutin and Kath- erine Schneider, of Taos. This companion, who is the mother of his daughter. Frieda, now 8 years of age, he had the misfortum' to lose by death in De- cember. 189:!. His present wife was Miss Emma Kautsch. of Loliman. to whom he was married May 11. 1897, and is the mother of his boy, Aimer, now 2 years of age. Mr. Schuliert is a member of the M. W. A. and of the Lutheran church. He occupies his own comfortable home in the village of Kussellville and also owns the building occupied by the mercan- tile company, of which he is President. Although he has had large and varied experience and been emi- nently successful he still is in the prime of life, with e\ery prosjiect of being able to fully gratify his am- bition as a successful merchant and business man. 314 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and J.

His biogi-aphy is neces- sarily biief as he has just seen fourteen years. When nine years old he came to Jeffrson City to live, entering the public school, where he has been a pupil since. He was ai)i)ointed a Page for the 39th General Assembly, and served in that capacity with much honor to himself, being highly compli- mented by many of the most prominent members of that body. In IS!)!) the Speaker of the 4(lth Gen- eral Assembly, W. J. Ward, honored him with a place at his side as private Page. The duties not being in the least irksome, he had ample time and opportunity to observe and listen to the representa- tives of the different counties of Missouri, and learned much about his native State.

Hough, was born in Loudon County, X'irginia, Ajiril 17, ISdS, and was married to Miss Mary C. Shawen, at Waterford, Virginia, March 24, 1833. His earlier ancestor was John Hough, who removed from Bin-ks County, Pennsylvania, to Loudon County, \'a.. about the year 1750, and there married Sarah Janney. whose family had also moved Ironi liucks County. IN'unsylvania, and who was great auni to John .lanney. President of the A'ir- ginia Secession Conxcntion of ISfil. John Hough was a grandson of Richard Hough who came from Cheshire, England, to I'ennsylvania under the au- sjtices of William Penn, in the shiji "Endeavor,"' landing in Philadelphia in 1(j38. In 1837 Mr. Hough moved to St. Louis County, Missouri, bringing with him a stock of goods, which he disposed of in St. Louis. In 1838 he moved to Jefferson City, where he was engaged in merchan- dising until the year 1854, when he retired from business pursuits. For forty years, Mv. Hough was a man of marked prominence and influence not only in this locality, but. throughout the State. It is no idle compliment to say that during the decade preced- ing the war his was considered the leading mind in his i)arty, and that he did more to shape the policy and defend the principles of the Democratic side than any other member of the organization. He was fond of political excitement and dis- cussions, but in no sense a seeker of off'ice. His acknowledged abilities, rather than a desire for notoriety, forced him jirominently before the public on occasions when he would, if his own wishes had been consulted, have remained in the background. In 1842-3 he represented Cole County in the General Assemlily with marked ability. In 1844 he took an active part in the organization of "The Missouri Historical and l'hilosoi)hical Society," which was afterwards incorporated by an act of the General Assembly of ]\lissouri, apjiroved ?^ebruary 27, 1845. He was one of the charter members of the soci- ety and its Treasurer for a number of years. This s-ociety included in its list of members many of the most prominent men of the State. In 1854 he ^\as the candidate of the Democratic party for Congress and engaged actively in the political con- troversies of the dav, which were then of a very Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 327 fervid cliniiulrr niid jilaiiilN foi'esliailowed the great contest of ISCl to ISfio. In conjiHution with Judge William B. Napton and Judge A\'illiani Scott, then on the Supreme bench of Missouri, and Judge Carby Wells of Ma- rion county, Mr. Hough participated in fraiuiug the famous "Jackson Kesolutions" introduced by Clai- bourne P. Jackson, afterwards (lovernor, in the Missouri Legislature in 1849, which resolutions oc- casioned the celebrated ajipeal of ('ol. Thomas H. Benton from the instructions of the Legislature to the people of Missouri. Those resolutions looked forward to a conflict lietween the Northern and Southern States, and pledged Missouri to a co-oper- ation with her sister States of the South. The leading Democrats of Missouri were then known as Calhoun Democrats, chief among them being David R. Atchison, William B. Napton, James S. Green, Carby Wells. Claibourne F. .lackson and (leorge ^^'. Hough, and the bitter personal hostility existing be- tween Calhoun and Benton was much intensified by these resolutions, the authorship of which ("ol. Ben- ton attributed to (/alhoun. The result of the canvass was Col. Benton's retirement from the United States Senate. Soon after making his unsuccessful canvass for Congress in 1854 Mr. Hough waS appointed by Gov. Sterling Price a member of the Board of I'ublic Works of Missouri, of which board he was Presi- dent, which was then cliarged with the supervision of all the railroads in the State to which State aid had been granted. At the general election in 18li0 he was elected to the same office; while a member of this Board he devoted his entire time to the pub- lic interests in this connection and rendered valu- able service in conserving the interests of the State in these various railroad enterprises. It was ad- mitted, at the time, that he would have succeeded Gov. Jackson as Governor of Missouri, but for the breaking out of the Civil War. Mr. Hougli was stronger in the convention of 1860 than was Gov. Jackson and could have liad the nomination if he had contended for it, but lie yielded to the friends of the nominee, upon the assurances that he should have no opposition for tlie next term. During the campaign of lS(i() he made a thorough canvass of the State with Governor Jackson, and liis discus- sions of State and National affairs, in that canvass, were considered, by all who heard them, the ablest ever delivered on that side by any man in the State. His reports on railroad matters attracted general attention and elicited the highest compli- ments for the fairness and ability with which he presented the facts. He was fre(iuenll\' lendei-cd jiosilious in the Government service, among them Second Auditor of the Treasury, which would hav(> necessitated his removal to the National <"a[)ital, but declined to accept such appointment. He was for a time Cura- tor of the ^lissouri T^niversity, and in conjunction with Dr. Elliot of St. Louis, he did much to benefit that institution. He contributed largely to the formation of tlie legislation essential to the devel- ojunent of the resources of the State. He had a knowledge of the political history of the country linsurpased by that of any one in the State, and a superior knowledge also of general history, consti- tutional law, literature and the science of govern- ment. Mr. Hough died February IJi, 1878. He has six children living: Mrs. Dr. George B. ^^'inston, Judge ^Varwick Hough, Mrs. John P. Iveiser, Dr. Charles P. Hough, Arthur M. Hough and Miss Georgia B.

A. rRlESMEYER. August I'riesmeyer, President and founder of the A. Priesmeyer Shoe Company, was born on a farm near Westithalia. Prussia. December 17. 18:$2. At the age of 17 he imiuigiated to America, stop jiing first near Cincinnati. Oliin. where he worked on a farm several months, when he went to Cincin- nati, learning the trade of shoemaking. After an apprenticeshij) of two years he removed to St. Louis, where he engaged in a shoe store. His a](t- ness and close attention to business soon resulted in his having charge and management of the entire .slio]> and store. In 1S.'57 he made a triji to Europe, ■\ isiting his parents and many places of interest, re- turning in the F'all; he renewed his engagement at th(^ same i)lace. continuing until the Sju'ing of lS.5!t. when he opened a retail store on his own account. AN'ith this he did a prosperous business until 1867, Avlien he disposed of his stock and engaged largely in the hide and tobacco business, which resulted in the loss of the accumulation of his thrift and good management of the past years. In 1869 he again ■opened a shoe store on his own account, receiving financial assistance from a friend, who later be- <-ame associated with him, and whose loyalty as- sisted him greatly in bringing about the success which attended his later efforts in the manufacture of shoes. In 187J: he disposed of this business and removed to Jefferson City, where he engaged in the manufacture of shoes in pai-tnership with the friend who hail assisted him in the past, Mr. F. \Voesten, now a retired capitalist and most worthy titizen of St. Louis. This friend continued to fur- nish till- cajiital, the firm being A. Priesmeyer & Co. In the work of manufarturing at the prison he still associated with his old friend and flu- i)ai"t- nership continued until ]S7I(. when he bought the interest of his jiartner and continued tin- business in the name of A. Priesmeyer-, until the Fall of 1809, when the A. Priesmeyer Shoe Co. was organized and in(-orporated. with Mr. A. Priesmeyer as Presi- dent: John Tweedie, sr.. McePresident and Super- intendent of the factoiy. and H. F. Priesmeyer, Sec- retary, Treasurer and Manager of the business. Poth Mr. Tweedie and Mr. H. F. Priesmeyer had long been faithful lieutenants in this growing and prosperous manufacturing plant, and on ac(-ounf of their faithful and iiit<-lli- genl services had been giv(-n a share of the profits for more than 15 years, although their names had not up to the time of the incorporation been asso- ciated with the business. ^Vhen Mr. Priesmeyer first established this plant he only employed thirty- five men, but under able and successful manage- ment, pains-taking and straightforward methods of doing business and jn-oducing the very best value possible the business was built up to its present proportions, now employing over 250 workmen, with eighteen traveling salesmen, who cover and enjoy a large trade throughout the entire West and South; in fact, covering virtually all the I'nited States except those of New England and a few of 342 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and the North Atlantic States which are more coutij^n- ous to the manufacturing plants of Massachusetts. In Aufiust. ISfiO, Mr. Priesmover was married to ("aroline Steiiibruegge, of St. Chai'les, Mo. To this union were born three sons, two of whom died in infancy, Eddie at the interesting age of six. He had the misfortune to lose by death his com- panion May 20, 188'.). In April, 1891, he was united in marriage to !Miss Minnie Meyer, of St. Louis, and was called upon to perform the sad duties atk^nd- ant upon her death in 1895. In 1899 he was united in marriage to ^Mis. Emma Witte, of St. Louis, who is now his genial and devoted comjianion in his home, No. 15.37 S. Grand Ave., St. Louis, he having retired from the active duties connected with his business and removed to that city in 1891. Mr. Priesmeyer is a fine example of the success which attends the earnest, active and well directed efforts of an honorable man. He came to this country when but a youth, without means, liis first work being on the farm. After learning the business of .shoemaking before the extensive improvements in machinery had brought that business up to its present high state of perfection, so greatly reducing the cost and assisting in the production of artistic and substantial foot-wear, he lias moved steadily along with the business of his choice until he now occupies a place in the business world as a nuinu facturer of which he may be justly proud. No man engaged in the manufacture of shoes in the United States stands higher than A. Priesmeyer, who is now enjoying in retirement the justly earned fruits of his long and constant labors. In addition to two trips to Europe, in 1897, Mr. Priesmeyer made a trip around the world, which occupied fourteen months, visiting Japan, China, the Orient, India. Africa, I'alestine and Syria, and making trips in the va- rious countries, using the means of travel peculiar to each country, seeing life in its every phase in all parts of the world, and being a close and practical observer, he is an interesting and instructive talker. Although having lived nearly liis three score years and ten, he is as hale and hearty as most men of 30; in fact, he yet seems in the prime of life, with a prospect of many years. JOHN TWEEDIE, SR. John Tweedie, sr., Vice-President of the A. Pries- meyer Shoe Co., and Superintendent of the factory, was born in Mott'at, Dumfries Shire. Scotland. Sep- tember 28, 1838.

In 18.50 he immigrated to America, stopping first in New York, where he worked at his trade a few months, when he removed to I'rovidence, R. I., and engaged in the work of a carpenter the following three years, after which he removed to Mystic, Conn., where, after working in the ship yard a few months, he returned to New York and resumed his trade of shoemaking. Removing to Middletown, Conn., in 1801, he responded to a call for volunteers, enlisting in the 2nd Connecticut, which was dis charged from service a few months later, when, in answer to a second call he enlisted in the 9th Rhode Island, and later in the 1.5th regular U.

Pi-iesmeyer, Secretary and Treasurer of the A. Priesmeyer Shoe Co., was born in St. Louis, Mo.. August 16, 1857, and was educated in the public schools of that city. At the age of six- teen he went to Chicago, entering the law office of E^^l ,^" ,_ ^^Sl ^11' ^^3 Lyman & Jackson, with the view of studying for the practice of the legal profession. At the age of twenty-one he resigned this position and came to Jeffei'son City to engage in work for his uncle, A. Priesmeyer. After several years of practical and painstaking work in the factory, he went on the road as salesman, where he continued seven years in North and Southwest Missouri, building up a large and profitable business in the products of his uncle's shoe factory. In July, 1884, he gave up the road, taking charge of the office, and in 1892, be- came manager of the finance and salesmen. In Novembei-, 1S99, the A.

The position of stenographer, which he held, brought him into close and confidential relation with me. I found him at all times trustworthy, respectful, submissive, anx- ious to please, sensative to criticism. By his model life and devotion to duty he won the respect of my- self and his associates. He bore in his manner the cherriest good will to all, with malice to none. He was a manly Christian boy. who loved his church, his league and his Sunday School, Bereft of father when but a few weeks old, he has fought life's bat- tles for his mother, sisters and self under many dis- advantages, winning the praise and admiration from those who witnessed his struggles and who appre- ciated his suri'ciundings. His beauliful love for his mother was at all times noticeable. His chiefest aim was to make her happy. In her presence and al her knee he found the truest altiir, and for his sisters, Virginia and Jessie, the companions of his boyhood, there was a love tender and beautiful. He a])pealed to them in every instance, in every emergency. Their wishes were his, their happiness liis. He would die before he would bring to them sorrow or disappointment. His money was always used to their ciMufort and enjoyment. Although full of courage, he leaned upon his mother and seemed to be as a dependent, heli)less child in her arms, and she in turn was deiiendent upon and trusted him, looking forward to the day when her son would be a strong man who would comfort and support her in her declining years.

His father, who was ambitious to secure for his family better educational advant- ages than those afforded by the country schools nearby, removed to Lincoln, where the subject of this sketch enjoyed the higher educational advant- ages afforded by the schools of that city. He also attended the Lincoln Business College, taking a com- mercial course, short-hand and typewriting. Jan- uary 1. isyo, for the purpose of more thorough equipment for an active business life, he entered the Gem City Business College of Quincy, 111., where he enjoyed the advantages of practical business training by real commercial transactions, including that of banking. Completing his course at the Gem City College, he was sent by that institution to fill a position in Jefferson City, Mo., as book-keeper and stenographer for the Charles R.

In most cities there are men, whose peculiar qualifications as sagacious buyers and sellers, coupled with an ambition to do a large tr.-ide, en- ables them to rajiidly develoii an immense business, counters the economical and thrifty buyers from all the ]»atlis of life. Of this class of men in the State of Missouri none stand higher than ^Ir. J. W. Heskett, tile projirietor of the New York Racket Cash Department store. No. '2:V2 East High street. 'Mv. Heskett was born on a farm iu Koss county, Ohio, near Chillicothe, ^lay 0, ISo!), At the age of eleven his jiarents removed to Missouri, settling on a farm in Saline county, near Malta Rend, where lie attended' the country school, later graduating from the Normal Department of the Missouri State University, class 1881. Like many successful men, ilr. Ilesketfs tirst work on his own responsibilities was tear hing, after which he managed his father's large farm, later embarking in the general mer- cantile l)usiness, in partnership witli S. T. \\'ilson at ^lalta Bend. About fifteen months later he dis- solved with Mr. Wilson, who continued the business, while he removed, with his part of the stock, to Marshall, doing a successful business until 1888, when he purchased a farm eight miles northwest of that city. On account of the ill health of his wife he quit farming, and selling his Jersey herd, other stock and imidements, rented his farm, when, at the request of the I'ostotfice Department and several of the bondsmen (he being one) took charge of the post- ottice at Marshall, which office he managed from March 1, until July 1, 181(7, when he removed to this city ojiening the New York Racket store on ^lain street. This business, under his judicious management, soon outgrew his quarters on Main street, and in September, 18!l!l. he removed to his present commodious store. Although he began business here with a small stock, it is now the largest department store in the county. He em- jdoys constantly from seven to eight assistants, which during the holiday season is increased to about thirty. Mr. Heskett was married March 18, 1886, to Miss Mollie, the only daughter of Henry Blosser, one of the most prominent and wealthy farmers of Saline county. As a result of this mar- riage they have five children, two of whom died in infancy, the others, t'wo girls and a boy, ages eight, ten and twelve, are bright, healthy children, attend- ing the public schools of this city.

Among other places, during his connection with this steamer, he visited the City tif New York. Leaving the (ier- mania. he spent several mouths in learning of the New World, after which he returned to Europe, from which place be soon sailed for Xew York City, where he remained until ISli!), and learned, while there, the art of photography. He came to Missouri in 1S71. stopping first in St. Louis, where he worked in different gallaries. altei- which, procuring an outfit, lie became an itinerant artist of Missouri, which he continued until ISTS, when he located in Jeffersdu City and established a gallery. In 1880 he made a visit to Europe. In 1881 he was united in marriage to Helen, daughter of Herman and Helen Tellman. To Iliis union were born four chil- dren: Louis A., is an efficient assistant in his father's gallery; Helen M.. is a pupil at St. Peter's Parochial school; Stella A. and ^Yilliam H., are at home.

He first engaged in the work c carpenter, but soon after, in connection with hi brother, Jacob, rebuilt and improved the Glove mill, south of this city, which, after managing short time for Mr. Glover, they purchased. Lat* they disposed of this mill and built the brick stoi now occupied by Jacob Tanner and engaged in gen ral merchandising.

They did what work they could, commencing in June, but as labor was scarce and good workmen hard to obtain, they only finished the Lock and seven sections of the ten of the Dam which can be easily noticed by looking at one of the views ac- companying this article.

St. Francis Xavier's Catholic church at Taos has m interesting history, it being the first church jrected by the ('atholics in Cole county. On May 1, 1838, Rev. Father Helias (a Jesuit, born of the loble family of F. Huddeghem, in Ghent, Belgium, August 3, 1790) came to Westphalia, now in Osage ounty, but then a part of Gasconade, to preach the Gospel and administer the sacraments to the Catho- ics who were widely scattered through that part of dissouri. Within a few days aftt'r his arrival he Tossed the Osage River and said Mass in the house if a family near where the church, of which we are vriting, now stands. He continued his residence iu iVestphalia, from which point he visited the scat- ering members of his numerous charges four years, vhen, with the approval of his sui)eriors. he re- noved his residence to Taos, and transferred to this dace the books with the records of lia]itisiiis and narriages. From that time Taos was for a number )f years the center of all the missions in that jiart if the State, and from here this noble character isited, regularly, about 25 different jilaces named in the record, some of which are not now known. ^ome of the locations have been washed away by he Missouri River. His circuit included St. Thomas, in Cole county; Portland, in Callaway county; Columbia, in Boone county; Moniteau (now Cedron), in Moniteau county; Boonville, Pisgah and Pilot Grove, in Cooper county; Franklin, in Howard county, and last, but by no means least, Jefferson City, where he worshipped first in the house of Gen. Anthony Kramer, near where now stands the Capi- tol. The nearby places were visited regularly, while more distant points only Twice a year, his circuit frequently involving a trip of more than 100 miles. When Father Helias was making one of his earlier visits to Taos from Westphalia, the congregation offered 40 acres of ground for building a church. School and home for the i)riest, but refused to hand the deed for the land to Father Helias, Mho then jiurchased 10 acres of land of Mr. H. Haar. The old home of Mr. Haar is still standing, and is the oldest part of the parsonage, now used as a kitchen. The first church, in honor of St Francis Xavier, was built of logs, on the ground now used as the pastor's garden. This house was afterward removed by Mr. Forck to the place where Ben Forck is now liv- ing, and is still standing Also a school was started with the church on the forty acres intended for the place of the church. 354 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and Tlu' rtist ti-atlit-r wa.s .Mr. ^^■(■g(•^. who died there later. Of coui-se. the sehoul at tliat time was not fiequented regularly, and the instruction for jtrejiar- iug for the .saerameuts could be ouly very imperfect on account of long and frequent absence of the pas- tor. The liouse of Mr. Haar was rented to several parties, among them the Forck family, and in this historic building was horn Bernard and Herman Forck, now li\ing near the chnrcli. F'afh"r Helias built, with money furnished by his pious mother, a stone house which is now connected with the kitchen by a hall. The congregation soon out- grew the capacity of the first church, which was re- placed by a second one, built of cotton rock, which is at i)resent used as a school house and during the Winter months as a chapel. A cemetery was tirst laid out on the 40 acres, but since the church was iKit built lliere its use was discontinued, and a new one selected near the church, of about one acre AYhen this wa» full of the remains of the departed the old one was enlarged and enclosed, and is nov in use again, both cemeteries having been blessei by Bishop Kenrick of St. Louis. During 36 year Father Ilelias had stood faithfully at his post, whei the Lord called him from the scene of his pious an( devotioned labors. His death was sudden, althougl not unexpected, as lie told his friends that he es pected to die in such a manner. He had written th remembrances of his death on the back of smal jiictures and distributed among his friends, the dat to be tilled out after his death. His remains wer buried in the cemetery near the church, the coe gregation erecting a monument to liis memory After his death several priests visited at interval the Taos church until Rev. Father John Gruende v.as ajijiointed pastor. By his zealous and earnest el forts, new life was infused into the congregatior which made a number of improvements, a nei school liouse was built, whicli is now used as teacher's residence, and an addition was made to th parsonage. In 1881 a large number of the congregE tion withdrew and erected a church at Wardsvilh this being the youngest of the many parishes tha went out from the mother church, like so man grown daughters starting in families for themselve! nearly all of whom have (/utgrown the old hoim Xotwithstanding the withdrawal, the old church wa too small and with his usual courage and determine tion. Father Ciruender did not rest until he saw ris the ])resent magnificent brick building, whos steeple is crow-ned with a spire reaching 121 fee above ground. This church was finished in 1883. I 1885 Father Gruender made a trij) to Europi his duties during his absence being performed b F"ather Schulte. He was followed by Kev. Fathe Joseph H.

The grant was in violation of that part of the Constitution just quoted."' Governor l'lieli)S, from whose message to the Legislature the above is taken, held the bill until the Board of Trustees met and unanimously voted to transfer the Insti- tute to the State. The bill was immediately ap- proved. This friendly act of the late Governor enabled the trustees to pay every dollar of the debt which for several years had embarrassed them and to place the Institute on a more permanent basis. Since the Institute became a State school, the Legislature has not only made large appropriations for its maintenance, but has also given money to erect dormitories, to purchase scientific apparatus, to make additions to the library and repair the main building. By an act of the Thirty-fourth General Assembly a college and a college preparatory school were established in connection with the Institute. The same Assembly also passed an act which provides that the normal diplomas shall entitle their holders to leach in the schools (if tin- State without further examination; also that the graded certifi- cates, which are granted upon the completion of the two years' course, shall entitle their holders to teach the several branches therein named for a period of two years from the date of graduation. Provision is made in the act for annulling these diplomas and certificates whenever it is found to be necessary. By an act of the Thirty-sixth General Assembly an Industrial Department was established in connec- tion with the Institute. The main building was destroyed by fire on the tirst of August, 1894, but was soon replaced by a far more commodious structure for the erection of which the Legislature appropriated the sum of |4t),()U0. The Presidents of the school have been the fol- lowing named gentlemen in their order: R. B. Fos- ter, W. H. Payne, S. T. Mitchell, M. Henry Smith, Inman E. Page and John H. Jackson. At present the school is in a flourishing condition. It has a Faculty of twelve members and an enrollment of 277 students, the largest number in attendance in the historv of the Institute. The members of the CUemical Departiutut. 358 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and faculty, come from all sections of the country and are experts in their several lines. The school is well equiiijied throughout and the discipline and manage- ment fully up to Eastern standards. Manual train- ing for both sexes is a special feature of the work at Lincoln Institute.

Jackson, President of Lincoln In stitute, was born in Lexington, October 31, 18.50 where he received his early education in the public schools of that famous judicial seat of Fayettf county. Ky. He later entered Berea College, from wliiih he graduated with high honors in the class o) 1874, he being the first negro graduate of the Blue Directory of Jefferson Citv and Cole County. 359 (iniss St;ili'. Folliiwiiij; llu' completion of liis cdii cation lie i'n<>a^ed in i caching a uunilier of years at Lexington. In 1881 lie lemoved to Kansas City, where he was President of the Lincoln High School a number of years. He was appointed by the Gov- ernor of Kansas to a nnmber of important positions at dirterent times, among them he was clerk of the •Jury Commission, and also clerk of the Police Board of Commissioners of Kansas City. Kansas, and mem- ber of the P>oard of FIxaminers for Kan.sas City, Kan- sas, a position no other one of his race had as jet been honored with. In 1887 he responded to a call from the State Normal College at Frankfort, the Cap'tal of his native State, where he continued to conduct the affairs of that institution with distin- guished ability until 18!)S, when he resigned to ac- cept a call to his present exalted position, the most important of the State occupied by one of the eman- cipated race. President Jackson was united in mar- riage July. 1S77. to Miss Henrietta Stewart, a lady of education and culture, of Lexington. Ky. This de- voted comjianion he had the misfortune to lose by death November, 1887. In 1889 he was married to Miss Ida Joyce, of Columbus, a graduate of the famous High School of the Capital (_'ity of Ohio, and a woman whose mentality and culture makes her a most congenial and comiuuiionable heljimate of her distinguished husband. To the first marriage were born two sons; Arthur, the eldest, will graduate from Lincoln Institute, class of 1900; Atwood M., a bright lad, is also a pupil at that institution, while Earl, the son of his present wife, is a pupil in the primary department of the Institute. Although I'rof. Jackson has devoted his life to the education of the negro race, his distinguished ability and very broad and well-balanced mind has been recognized by the people with whom he has lived and who have called upon him to serve them frequently in a politi- cal capacity. He was delegate at large from the State of Kentucky Xo th._ Republican National Con- vention. 188(1, being one of the famous oOtJ whose fidelity to Grant in the memorable struggle to place the great warrier and statesman a third time in the Presidential chair, makes a dramatic jiage in the annals of our country's political history. As stated above, he served the State of Kan.sas. during hi? stay in Kansas City. Kansas, in a number of impor- tant jiositions and was prominently mentioned for the office of State Auditor, but declined the honor. He has also been prominent and earnest in his op- position to legislative measures which he thought were prejudicial to the interests of the negro race, being one of a delegation of several hundred who appeared before the Governor of Kansas, request- ing him lo (j|i[iiisc, ill iiis message, the famous sepa- rate coach l;i\\. ill which pciiiion and ceremonies he was the lender and iiiosi inomineni sjieaker. His masterly address in ojijiosition lo the measure was ba.sed on conditions rather ihaii cnlor. He was also chairman of the Committee on Kducational Statis- tics of the Negro Kace at the World's Fair in 1803, his comprehensive repm i being most favorably com- mented upon by the press throughout the L'nited States. He was also one of Kentucky's Commis- sioners at the Athinta Exposition, at which place, by invitation, he made an address on Negi-o Education in Kentucky, which attracted much attention from those interested in the social and elevating problems connected with the negro race throughout the civi- lized world. In 1897 he addressed the Senate for the purpose of securing an appnqu union for the benefit of the State Normal School, which was so marked and able, in its jiresentation that the appro- priation was made in full of his request. Few men, if any, of his race enjoy more fully the confidence and esteem of the broad-minded people of the t'nited States than dees Prof. J. H. Jackson. His broad and well-balanced mind, associated with his sterl- ing character, makes him a man eminently fitted for the exalted j.-osition of trying to lead and stimulate the more ambitious and worthy of his race, to aspire to the highest in life. He is a cousitftent member of the A. M. E. church, and has been for many years, combining with his many other qualities of man- hood the highest type of Christianity. Lincoln In- stitute, the great State Normal for the negro race of Missouri, is fortunate in securing a man of his distinguished abilitv and character to direct its af- 360 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and fairs. He lives witli liis family in the comfortable home provided by the Regents of the lustitnte for the President of the college. PROF. B. F. ALLEN, A. It. A. M. Prof. B. F. Allen. A. B. A. M., Vice-President of the Lincoln Institute, was born in Savannah, Ga., and received his early education in the public schools of his native city. He completed the couree of study at the University of Atlanta, and later at- tended the National T'niversity. graduating with high honors.

Very few men of the negi'o race have ijeeu so much favored by nature or enjoyed the educational advantages (Mjiial to Prof. Allen. cient and served as a student teacher — an honor nuich envied. He was afterward elected Principal of the Monticello High School, which he tilled most credibly, and later as jiriucipal of Kisley High School at Brunswick. ( Ja. Soon after he was elected Principal of the Florida Baptist College at Jackson- ville, Fla., but before accei)ting the otter he was notified of his election lo 'he chair of Natural and I'hysical Sciences in the State I'niversity, at Louis- ville, Ky. While both these were under considera- tion he received a telegram from Prof. I. E. Page, (formerly President of Lincoln Institute), asking him to accept the chair of Latin and (Ireek in Lin- coln Institute, which he acce](ted with little time in which to notify the oihi-r institutions of his inability to accept their otfers. and has tilled the position four years with honor to ilie institution. He is pro- fessor of Modern Languages, History and Pedagogy and has been prominently connected with all move- ments of the work for the past live years, and specially interested in the Collegiate Department, J. H. BREDEMAN. John IT. Bredeman, Superintendent of the Indus- trial Department of Lincoln Institute, was born in Nord Borchen, near Paderborn, Province of West- jdialia. Oermany (June 8. 1849). He attended school iinder his father (who was a teacher) until 14 years of age. In 18()7 he graduated from the Mechanical School of Paderborn. having determined to make blacksmithing his business.

In January, 185!), a colored minister, Kiuanuel Cai'twright, comply- ing with an urjicnt requt'st, canie to Jefferson City to preach at the funeral of Julia Brock. At that time (when they were shives) the colored people were memhers of the regular First Baptist chinch, with whom they worshii)ped. Following the funeral, Rev. Cartwright held a series of meetings, which contin- ued several weeks, and under his preaching some 5l> or (to were converted. In ISfiO the whites, who were the Masters, concluded the slaves, who were mem- bers of their chufch. should have their own i)astor, and in answer to their request, Silas \A'oodson was sent from St. Louis to take charge of the church, still they were not allowed to hold their meetings on account of the excitement at the time resulting from the agitation of slavery. Just previous to the war, they were not allowed to worship except when some of the whites were present. The colored con- gregation grew restless under this restraint and called a church meeting of their own, and elected the following named d(-acons: Archie Drake, How- ard Barnes, I'atrom Johnson and Arthur Lee, all of w'hom were elected Trustees. They held services for some time in a small frame building, between Jefferson and Main streets, and later in the stone church on Main street, west of the Madison Hotel. This building, however, was soon closed against them by the then owners, the Presbyterian church. Rev. Cartwright continued to visit them once a mouth, and when he would fail to appear, the deacons would conduct services. The earnest little band feeling the necessity of a home of their own, decided to make an effort to purchase property, which they did, on the corner of Main and ^lonroe streets, agreeing to pay for the same 11,150. With the co-operation of the earnest and faithful lady members of the organization they succeeded in rais- ing this amount, after a struggle of some length, and the property was deeded to them. The congre- gation continued to prosper spiritually, and grew in numbers. They exchanged their property for their present location, and christened the new building the "Second Baptist church of Jefferson City." About this time (1873) Rev. (Cartwright gave uii his claim on the church, after which they elected a regular pastor, the first being Rev. Gabriel Gray, with How- ;ird Barnes as clerk. After a short time Rev. Gray was succeeded by Rev. H. H. AVhite. After the departure of Rev. White, Rev. Attwater occupied the pulpit a short time, but attempted to defraud the congregation without success. He was discov- ered, and left clandestinely. About this time John (rorden was elected clerk. Rev. IL J. Burton was the next pastor, whose administration was prosper- ous, both linani-ially and si)iritually. louring one of his protracted meetings there were (!5 additions to the church. Rev. Burton continued in charge nearly three years, and was succeeded by S. P. Lewis, who was a puljiit orator of great power. He was followed liy Rev. B. F. Ratliff, whose adminis- tration was a blessing to the church. November 11, 1888, Rev. J. S. Dorsey became the pastor in charge, continuing for live years. During his pas- torate they built a new parsonage at a cost of |1,000, and raised during the five years |5,580 in cash. When he left, the treasury contained flOO to its credit in the bank to go toward the erection of a new auditorium, Ww jilaiis of which had been drawn. At this time ^^■illiam Manse was elected Treasurer, with Mrs. S. H. Wisenuin, Assistant, wlio succeeded to the office on the death of Mr. Mause, filling the place until a successor was elected in the person of John H. Burton. The church organization has built adjoining their church proper a splendid auditrown was sent to take charge of the remaining few, about fifteen. He was suc- ceeded by Rev. JIadison, who was followed by Rev. J. C. Caldwell, who served two years, being suc- ceeded by Rev. E. R. Vaughan, who served one year. At the meeting of the annual Conference in St. Louis, in October. ISflil, the Rev. J. F. Sage was sent to take charge of the church. Rev. Sage has been doing eft'ective work, and within five months he suc- ceeded in adding moie than sixty members to the congregation. The membership is now back to its normal size, and the church is in a prosperous con- dition. REV. J. F. SAGE. Rev. Jefferson Franklin Sage, pastor of the A. ^I. E. church of Jefferson City, was born in Louisville. Ky., in 1858, coming to Missouri when a youth. After the war he lived with Mrs. Henry Godfrey, in Warren county, three years.

The most potent influence in life is knowledg which is to be gathered largely from books. Ca lisle said: "The influence of a good book is ii flnite," while a more recent and fully as talent€ writer has said: "Unfortunate in our time is t who is born into a home where there is an al)un( ance of everything except books, and happy shoul be the man who must live in a small house if it I rich in books, for each one will be to him a kini dom." Emerson says: "There is one mind con mon to all individual men. Every man is an ink to the same and to all the same. He that is one admitted to the right of reason is made a freema to the whole estate." Bare and extravagant spiril come to the world at intervals and disclose to i through books, new facts in nature, thought an life. From good books one can often gather in few hours rich treasures which cost the writer lifetime of study and labor to produce, ilany ai waking to the advantages and pleasures atlorde by good literature and reaching out for the rich( being garnered in books from tbe accumulated wi doiii of ages. The Ca])ital ("ity awoke to tbe advantages of library, and begun energetically the work of secu ing this luxury for its citizens in January. 189: when, by well directed effort, they secured 250 sul scribers at §3.0(1 a ^vear, thus making tbe libi'ai an assured success. A meeting of tbe subscrii)ei was called, who elected a board of tbe followin directors: ]\Iessrs. A. M. Hough. F. ^I. Brown. 1 U. Binder. J. ('. Fisher. C. A. Winston. Mrs. Cba E.

Since then the progress las not been so rapid, but the growth is steady, and he lilirary now contains about 1,500 volumes. In Fuly. 181MI, it was deemed best to remove the library o more convenient quarters, when the very desir ible location of the present room on High and Hadison streets, in the Hope building, was secured, rile only change in the directors since its organiza- ion is the retiring of Mr. J.

Judging by he increase both in number of volumes and patrons n the year 1800. it is confidently expected, with the low growing interest, the liluary, at no distant date, vill occupy a building of its own and the number )f its volumes increased to several thousand. The ■alue to a conuuunity of the privileges of a well se- ect«d library cannot be measured by money.

The Supreme Judges of Jlissouri. in selecting he State Librarian, made a wise choice in the per- son of Mrs. Mary Virginia Edwards. Since the ieath of her distinguished husband, Hon. John N. Edwards, (May 4, 1880,) she has been prominently connected with many important public movements. >he was Secretary of the Missouri State Board of the iVorUfs Fair (1892), having charge of the Missouri >uildiiig most of the time. After seven months in "hicago. she accepted an appointment in the office )f Charles Higgius, Recorder of Voters of St. Louis, vho is now Excise Commissioner of that city. Mrs. i^dwards received her present appointment in 1897, dnce which time she has managed the affairs of he important office with ability and tact, making uany improvements. She was elected (1899) Presi- lent of theMissouri State Association of the Daugh- ers of the Confederacy, having been a member since he organization. As a member of the Board of he Confederate Home Association, she has traveled 'xtensively in the interest of the Confederate monu- nent, to be erected at Spiiugfleld this year.

James Chaney, a Presbyterian minister, who now has charge of the Tln'ological College at Independence, .Mo. Her elopement with Maj. John N. Edwards, then with the Kansas <"ity Times, forms an interesting romance in her full life. The objection to this union was grounded solely on the near family relation- ship of the parties. They were married at the res- idence of Gen. Joseph O. Shelby, near Aullville. in Lafayette county. We quote from the Kansas City Times: "Maj. John N. Edwards was married on March 28, 1871, to Marv Virginia Platteubuig, of Dover, Lafayette county. Mo., a woman not less bril- liant than himself, of high impulses, poetic, senti- mental and of an uncommon literary faculty; she is a fit companion for this molder of the "fiery and de- lectable shapes." To this union were born two sons and one daughter, John and James now young busi- ness men of St. Louis, and Laura, a young lady of lovely character and a charming personality, is now taking a post-graduate course at the Sacred Heart Convent, St. Louis.

McCullough first maid of honor of the Daughters of the Confederacy of Missouri to attend the National meeting of the United Confederate N'eterans of the United States (May 31, 1000.) in Louisville, Ky., an honor most worthily bestowed. To Miss Laura we~ cannot pay a higher tribute than to say she is worthy of her distinguished parents. Mrs. Edwards is not only favored by nature, physi- cally, l>nt her nnusuall\ bright- mind has been great- ly enriched by study, experience, travel and the as- sociation with her brilliant and versatile husband.

He was born in Dumfennline, Scotland, from which place he came with his parents to America when ten years of age, locating in Pitts- burgh, Pa. Here the subject of this sketch secured a position to attend the tire of a small stationary engine in the cellar of a factory. AVhen his work was over, at night he apjilicd himself to the task of learning thoroughly the streets of the city, and when he had them rtrnily in his memory he secured a posi- tion as messenger boy in a telegraph office. After being there a short time he requested the manager to teach him telegra]ihy. The manager took an in- terest at once in tlic bright boy and gave liini every opportunity in addition to which he was con- stantly engaged in praclicing when not at other work, and although it was I lie custom of the office at that time to receive by tape, the young lad re- ceived only by sound. In a short time he had ac- quired such skill in tclcgrajihy that he was able to get a position on the line of the Pennsylvania Rail- road System which at that time, as compared to its present immense proportions, was a small affair. The ambitious lad suggested a system of dispatch- ing trains which made the capacity of the road much greater and did not diminish the safety of its operations. Thomas A. Scott, the great railroad niagnali'. who was later President of the system was attracted by the ingenuity of the lad and se lected him as his Private Secretary; ithis was at the time when Mr. Scott was just iK'ginning his won (lerful career.) When Mr. Scott was made Vice President, his I'rivate Secretary, Mr. ("arnegie, wa; made a Division Superintendent. \\"i\\\ his greatb increased salary and continuing to practice econ omy, he was able to invest his surplus earnings ii nil lands, and later in the manufacture of sleepinj cars. These investments laid the foundati(ni of hii enormous fortune which he is generously using both in this country and in his native (Scotland) ( stablishing libraries and other iihilanthrojiic meas^ tires.

Of the many men who occupy a position as Judge in the State of ^lissouri, not in one are the elements which should constitute a man worthy of this exalted po- sition more completely represented than in the per- son of Judge Gautt. He has enjoyed unusual ad- vantages, having been associated with the greatest legal minds of the country, his observing mind en- abling him to profit by the association. In addi- tion to being a close student and reader of the many legal publications and law commentaries, he has 386 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and uiade himself fmniliar willi ihe great foniitaiii source from which all ideas of justice and right an' drawn— that book of books— the Bible, of which he has been a close reader and student since his early youth when he was lead in this direction by the counsel and intluence of a pious.

As to his ability -..s a Judge the number of his important decisions and opinions confirnu-d by the United States Su- preme Court attest, while the fact that he will be renominated this Fall by acclamation should be a gratifying assurance to him that his worth and sterling qualities, as both a Judge and citizen are recognized and appreciated by the citizens of the proud commonwealth of Missouri.

The above cut represents the new M. E. Church (South) now in course ot construction at the corner of Main and Monroe streets. The exterior walls are being faced with native lime stone, which presents not only an indestructible face to the elements, but a very pleasing and harmonious effect, equal, If not superior, to the celebrated Carthage or Bedford stone. The importance of this particular piece of stone work in its bearing upon the future stone industry of Cole county and Jefferson City can hardly be computed. Mountains of- this valuable and really beautiful building stone surround the city, and it needs only to be quarried by the proper machinery to make it the cheapest as well as the best building stone in Missouri. No Cole county or Jefferson City building in the future need depend upon outside quarries for stone. Jesse ^^'al(l^uIl.

During the second year of this district, continued to hold s.ervices as long as he could. Services were also held by Rev. Jacob Ditzler, who became pastor later. The church was broken up and the membership scattered, most of whom worshipped with the Northern church. Dur- ing his pastorate here Rev.

GRANT, CHURCH WORKER AND WRITER. ^Irs. Frank Palmer (nee Mary Wisdom) Grant is a native of Missouri, her birthplace being the old historical town of Huntsville, the judicial seat of Randolph county. Her father. William Monroe "\Msdom. was of one of the most prominent families of the State, a man highly educated, being a gradu- ate of several colleges, and one whose inheritance and association with the refining influences of sev- eral generations of highly cultured men and women made of him a most distinguished and cultured gen- tleman. He was many years of his life a prominent and wealthy banker of Huntsville, whose financial loss M"as doubtless a circumstance which led his now distinguished and talented daughter, to be a much more useful and valuable member of society than if she had continued in the luxurious home of wealthy and indulgent parents. Her mother wai Miss Anna Carpenter Hallack, a grand-daughte: of Station George Carpenter of Kentucky, a dis tinguished and ju-ominent character of the Blu( Grass State. The mother of !Mrs. Grant (Mrs. Ann; Hallack Wisdom, now of Houston, Tex.,) is regardec by those who know her and have bad the good for tune to associate with and observe her charactei and life, as one of the most noble of a noble clasi of Christian women, which now grace the member ship of the Christian church, and one whose whoh impulse is to do good, more fully described as out of those characters in whose presence one can noi think a mean thought or speak an ungenerous word From such parentage, with the added blessing of be ing required by what some would call a misfortune Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 419 (the loss of wealth) to engage iu the practieal stern duties of life, it is not strange that she has devel- oped into a broad-minded and useful woman. The early education of Mrs. Grant was in her native town where she attended school, going from the palatial Inmie of her parents. When fourteen years of age, lier fatlier having suffered heavy financial losses, she opened a private school in his home for the pur- pose of securing means to aid in the completion of her education. She was later a student of the High School of St. Louis, after which she attended the famous ("liristian College at Columbia, Mo. (the "Athens" of the State), where she graduated, the valedictorian of her class, her mother being a gradu- ate of the same institution just a quarter of a cen- tury before. She taught English and History in this college for several years, when she resigned to take charge of the Department of English in "Our Daughters" " College of Fulton, Mo. The growing responsiliilities of teacher added earnestness to her iiatur:ill.\ intense nature, marriage and motherhood deepened and enriched her character, and the sum of these for( es can be felt in her work in the Sunday- SrliiKiJs iif the St;ite of which she is one of the most active and effective workers, being at present State Superintendent of Sunday-School Work of the < 'liii ' in the same caiiacity at Airow Iiock.

Since the completion of his education he has devoted his efforts, with the exception of a few years as publisher and editor of a newspaper, entirely to educational work, in -wliicli profession he has been principal of a number of prominent schools and academies of Kansas and Missouri. He served a number of terms as County Superintendent of dift'erent counties in the State of Kansas, and was a number of years U. S. Supervisor of Education of the Fourth District, composed of Kansas, Oklahonui and Indian Territory. He was elected to his present olfice in the Fall of 189!), and has recently been re-elected with an advance of salary to serve a second term. He is a fine specimen of physical and mental manhood, well preserved, vigorous and active. His well-balanced mind is richly stored, not only with much of the accumulated wisdom garnered in books, but has profited by his wide experience and observation in the various rela- tions of life. He has been a constant attendant and promoter of the Teachers' Institutes, of which he was generally conductor, where his receptive mind was quick to catch the best ideas advanced by the many teachers with whom he thus came in contact. His ideals are the highest, yet thoroughly practical, he believes in the importance of a general education, the trend of his mind being to the idea that educa- tion should include in its scope physical development and manual training, associated with a technical and broad culture; that the High School should have not only a broad course of study preparing the stu- dents for entering the higher colleges and univer- sities, but such as to thoroughly equip them for the practical discharge of the duties of life in all its relations. Prof. Eichardson uses every means with- in his reach to advance the interests in his charge. his timely suggestions (which appi under the head of "Scluxjl Notes" in ar legularly the Jeirerson City paj.ersi are doing much to enlist the interest of not only the managers of the educational affairs of the city but of the parents and students. ST. PETER'S PAEOCHIAL SCHOOL. St. Peter's Parish was (ugauized in 1846, at which time their first church building was erected. The organization not feeling equal to the task of providing a school building, the late Francis Eoer opened his spacious home and invited the little ones of the Parish to come there for insti'uctiou, which he cheerfully gave, teaching them to read and write and also giving them religious instruction, which included the catechetical instruction. In 1854. under the administration of Father Blaarer, the first pa- rochial school building was erected east of the little frame church on High street, on the ground now included in the convent garden. It was a one-story brick building, and served as a parochial school un- til the completion of the second church under Father Walsh in 1857, when the school was removed to the old frame church, the first building erected by Cath- olics in the city. This building was used for school purpo.ses until 1868, when the convent was built and placed in charge of four sisters of the Notre Dame Order, who had been sent from Milwaukee, Wis., 424 Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and ;it the r('(iiu'st of Fallu-r .Miu-IIlt. -Jiiiuuuv lij ilic con vent s'liool (a three-and-a-lialf-stoiy I nick Imiklinji-. includiiiji- hasinneiit) was ble.swd liy till' Ki'v.

EVANGELICAL LITIIERAN TRINITY SCHOOL. It is an invariable rule of the Lutheran ministers of the Missouri Synod to establish a school wher- ever they gather a congregation. They and their people are not enemies of the public schools, but believe a child should be educated in religious ])rin- cijiles as well as in secular branches. The Luthi-ran Trinity congregation of Jefferson City following this idea established a school and called a teacher even before they had a church and minister. The beginning of the school was in 1870. different stu- dents teaching. Two years later the congregation called their first minister. Rev. J. Walker, now of ('leveland. Ohio, who began teaching the day after his installment as pastor. After his departure stu- dents again instructed until the second minister A\as called. Rev. H.

Kaeppel being his successor, whose father, Mr. John Kaepiiel. was a teacher by jirofes- sion, and had charge of the school, except the Eng- lish branches, which were taught by the son, now Profe-ssor of Concordia College. Mr. Kaeppel con- tinued in charge of this school one year after the dei'arture of his son. when Rev. C. Purzner was (ailed. Under his care the school became so large an assistant was necessary and J. S. L. Deffner was engaged, who continued several years, when he ac- cepted a position to teach in St. Louis. The min- ister taught for a while, when the congregation called W. C.

To many, perlia[is to mosi, jicople the Poultry In- dustry seems of little importance; but when com- pared in tlu^ aggregate with other industries a most astonishing revelation awaits the investigator. This unpretentious but ever active industry is so diversified and capable of development under so dissimilar and varying circumstances as to elude and deceive the ordinary observer. The experts in this industry are not always able to judge the vastness of the su]ii)ly in the poultry market; a case in point being an attempt by a New York firm a few years ago to corner the goose ma ket, which resulted in literally flooding the city wil geese, chief of which were the speculators, for tl stronger their attempt to corner the market tl greater the supply of geese. No sncli attempt h; since been made. All poultiy breeders and shippers now know thi such a thing as cornering the poultry market is a impossibility. The two main features of the Poultry Industi are fancv or standaid l>red birds and commerci Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 427 ponltrv. tliL' bfst, if uot tlu- main sujiply of the lat- ter, comes from the eullings of the former. Tliere is a mistaken belief that the standardbred poultry is of utility only to those directly engaged, but all of the best in commercial poultry is directly indebted to standard poultry breeding; besides, all standard-bred birds go the way of the scrub Anally; that is, to the table. Of statistics there is ample to prove that the poultry industry exceeds the cattle, hog and shecji industry of Missouri, is close second to the horse and mule industrj', and does not suffer, in compari son, but rather takes proud rank with the railroad earnings of this great commonwealth. The approximate recorded output of Poultry for the year 1809 in the United States is |30n,000.0(Mi. in the production of which the State of Jlissonri stands first. The recorded shipments furnished by the records in the office of the Labor Commissioner for the year 181)J) are: Pounds of poultry, 10G,o02,- 679, the value of which is |9,872,921.o7; dozens of eggs, 34,267,63.3, the value of which is |4,112,115.96. The much discu.ssed money question is silenced in the presence of the poultry output, which exceeds the yearly output of both gold and silver in the United States. Of no little importance is the fact that Jefferson ("ity and <'ole county is becoining one of the leading poultry points in this, the greatest of poul- try states, and there is no reason why she cannot soon attain to the jiroud distinction of being the very best point. Her natural advantages, sheltered valleys, east and south hillsides, grass aud gravel gives her every advantage to become such. The poultry breeders elsewhere listed in this book are honoralile and progressive citizens of .Jefferson City and Cole county, and be it said to their credit that their annual poultry exhibits have become im- portant events in this city, and are second to none of the local shows held in the State. In point of fairness aud good will toward com- peting fanciers from other localities, they stand as models of excellence; this alone will go far toward nuiking Jefferson City one of the leading Poultry centers in the countrv. 6^* ^^ ^^ ^^ e^* THE BERRY INDUSTRY OF COLE COUNTY.

Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County. 431 OUR HELPERS. We have been signally fortunate in the selection of assistants in the production of the Illustrated Sketch Book and Directory of Jefferson City and Cole county. In every department, necessary to the perfection of the work, we have met with the most ■courteous treatment, prompt execution and the best service jiossible to be rendered. We cannot re- frain, however, from adding our meed of praise and sincere appreciation to the Tribune Printing Com- pany, who have published and bound this tasteful volume for us. In every particular, it is most iirtistic; the excellent press-work and correct com- position, could not be surpassed by any j)rinting establishment in the United States. We particu- larly desire to express our thanks to Hugh Stephens, manager of the above firm, for his uniform atfability, jirompt and energetic management of his extensive office, and for the excellent and artistic taste dis- ]>layed tlnr.ughout the volume. We wish also to here extend thanks to J. E. Muri)liy, foreman in the Composition Departmeu' the evidence of his good taste and' painstaking work is shown on iihncisT vxi-vy ]iage of tl'.e book. We also wish to express our appi'cciation to Thomas Fisher, foreman of the pressroom, for the very ex- cellent press-work done, which gives evidence of his skill, ability and thoroughness in this imjiort- ant department, so necessary in a production of this kind. We can speak with equal candor in comniendatioii of the very excellent, sub- stantial and artistic binding of the volume, which work was in the special charge of F. E. Carter, foreman of the Tribune Printing Company bindery. ^^'e wish also to express our appreciation for the very efficient work and close attention of our asso- ciates who assisted in the office, and especially to the very thorough work done by S. A. Salisch, whose intelligent and pains-taking interest in the make-up and production of this book has been not only invaluable but indispensable. Our artists, the Kansas City Engraving Company, have the strojigest evidence of our appreciation of tlteir very excellent work in the ])roduction of the half- tone plat'^s which embellish the book, in our giving to them our exclusive business when other engrav- ers offered to execute our orders for less monev. 5^"" C^* i^^ 5^^ t^^ The accompanying cut shows a front view of the Binder Build- ing. 212 East High street, the ]iroperty of Mr. Fred.
