NEBRASKA NEWSPAPER HISTORY.
For The Conservative.
In your issue of September 2ith ( , Will
Felber , writing from Omahasays Lewis
E. Jones established the first newspaper
ever published north of Omaha , on
March 17 , 1858 , at St. Helena , called
the St. Helena Gazette.
I wish to take exception to this state
ment.
By referring to page 51 of "Warner's
History of Dakota County , Nebraska ,
it will be seen that the first , newspaper
published in northern Nebraska was the
Enterprise , at old Onmdi , which stood
on the banks of the Missoxiri river , some
teii miles below the Sioux City. It was
issued in the first week of July , 1857 ,
with George W. Rust as editor. This
paper was sold to Grillin & Tofl'e in
JSoS , and expired in the same year.
The second paper published in north-
urn Nebraska is also given on page Go of
the same history as issuing its first
copy July 7 , 1857 , with Joseph B.Strick
land for publisher and Robert A. How
ard as editor , at Dakota City , Nebraska.
It was called the Dakota City Herald ,
and I have in my possession the first
copy of this paper , taken from the press
by the late Col. Charles D. Martin and
bearing date as above.
In this issue is given an account of
the first Fourth of July celebration over
held in northern Nebraska , namely that
of 1857 , at the old town of Logan , now
extinct , which stood on what is today
the banks of Crystal Lake , in Dakota
county. Gen. Joseph Hollman was
chairman , Col. JesseE. . Warner read
the Declaration of Independence and
William G. Crawford was orator of the
day. M. M. WAUXEU.
