Notes:

A German newspaper, named " Der Nordstern," was started on the 17th of December, 1874, by Peter Brick and Peter E. Kaiser, who conducted it about a year, and sold to J. L. Meyer and Leo Brick, who converted it from a six column quarto to a six column folio, the present size. In about two years, Peter E. Kaiser again became an owner, by the purchase of Meyer's interest, and Brick & Kaiser published the paper until the 1st of March, 1881. Kaiser's interest was then purchased by William L. Rosenberger and John Rentz, who, a few month's later, also purchased Mr. Meyer's share, and it is now published by Rosenberger & Rentz. Its circulation is about 2,200, being exceeded by but two or three weeklies in the State.
