For more than a quarter of a century it has been the magnet around which has clustered many of the brightest writers in the west and ecores of printers who there laid the foundations of fame and fortune. Constructed as a printing office in 1857, it perished as one in 1884, It was the cradle of the Nebraskan and the Herald and the nursery of the roju- venated Republican. Every inch of the building proclaimed in indellible spots its usefulness, The floors and walls bore silent evidence of the *‘art preservative” and the ceiling yawned tor an introduc- tion to a whitewash brush. Its demoli- tion was a stroke of economy as well as a necessity and ita reconstruction will greatly improve the appearance of the neighborhood. THE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED in '57 by W.W.Wyman, who is given the credit of being the first regularly appoint- followed Thorne, and he became known among the fraternity as “THE GREAT ENDORSED," from the fact that he exhibited a number ed postmaster of the city. Mr. Wyman published the Weekly Times, a demo- cratic paper, at that time and the build- ing was planned for a printing office, the windows being numerous for light and ventilation. The basement was arranged for the accommodation of steam presses, but a dozen years passed before steam power was put in the building and then by other parties. Failing health forced him to abandon journalism and he sold the office to the Nebraskan which was moved from Bellevue to Omaha by M. H, Clarke. The Ne- braskan continued under different pro- prietors, as a weekly, tri-weekly, and some times daily,ill the close of the war. Arthur N. Ferguson was apprenticed in the Nebraskan office at Bellevue after the death of his father, Chief Justice Fergu- son, in 1859, He remained in the office after it moved to this city till 1802, and graduated as “‘high roller” of a Washing- ton hand press. Mr. Chas, Goodrich did some tall type-setting in the Nebraskan oftice. One of the chief amusements of the gang in those days was to run for the xivder when a steamboat whistle was heard an INTERVIEW THE PURSER as to the spiritual character of the cargo. Mr. Harry Haskell, the present foreman of TuE Bex set his first stickful in town in that building in 1862, He took a tour of the west as far as Montana and soon re- turned to his first love, content to make or break with the stick and rule. Mr. Mec- Cheane, another veteran ftypo, who met with a violent death while attempting to arrest a desperado in 1870, circulated between the Nebraskan and the Republi- can oflices, and retired from the business at the close of the war. Congressman Valentine, of the Third district, frequent- ly set ’em up in that building and be- tweeu that and the Republican got his firat start on the road to fortune. Val. took his turn kicking the press in the Republican office and his long shins were frequently skinned between the tredle snd tympan, The Nebraskan collapsed in 1865, soon after the death of Robert- son, one of the publishers, and Clarke, his partner, returned to Michigan, THE HERALD first saw light in that building just nineteen years ago this October. 1t was a six column folio. Dan Carpenter origin- ated the idea of a democratic daily after the collapse of the Nebraskan. After several interviews he induced Dr. Miller to give up the medical profession and go in with him, Their combined capital ap- proached $3,000. The type and a Wash- ington hand press were brought from Cincinnati by river, and the first edition printed without a subscriber. This cool recoption was not the fault of the propri- etors. They had an agent (who is nowa florist in this city) out for several days in advance drumming the town for sub- scribers, but the euthusiasm of the dem- ocrats was so great that they filled him with their favorite beverage and laid him out before he could reach the office with the list. The Herald made money al- most from the stert, and in a little over a year they discarded the Washington press and put in & Taylor cylinder, the first in the building. Carpenter remained a member of the firm for three years and then sold out to Mr., Lyman Richardson, one of the present firm. Dan Van Nostrand, of this city, was THE FIRST REPORTER ON THE PAPEL, He was succeeded by F. M. McDonagh tho present proprietor of the Nebraska Watchman in this city. “Little Mac” of endorsements from eastern publishers, He sported a cane and a high-crown derby tipped back to display a large fore- head and a_solitary cutl basking on its shining surface; a Seymour coat, white vest and swell pantaloons completed a toilet that attracted much attention. Campbell was a witty, vigorous writer, and made the Herald boom for a fow weoks. He soon fell a prey to the weak- ness of the profession. The spirit was in him, but it was distilled corn juice, and the vilest kind that mortal ever drank. He kept it bottled under his table every night, and had he not been firec. out early in his career, the bottled lightnlng would have ruined the innocents in the shop. Campbell came in as the first genuine dude in the town and went out a saturat- ed wreck, Another reporter, whose name is for- gotten owing to the brevity of his career, come here from Philadelphia and took a a position on the Herald. He attempted to fill Dr. Miller's chair during a tempo- rary absence, and distinguished himself by changing the politics of the paper. He also Introduced *“‘slug heads" on the paper and disappeared, ‘‘Shang” Andrews,the brilliant{and no- torious Shang, succeeded Campbell, coming from the Republican to the Her- ald, He made his entree into Omaha journalism as city editor of the Republi- can and distinguished himself at the outset by A GRAND AND CLEVER “‘scoor” on the Herald. The Humboldt centen- nial anniversary was celebrated hero by a grand banquet in which all prominent citizens participated. It was agreed that the copy of the addresses of the principal speakera should be given to the Republi- can on condition that proof 'sheets would be furnished the Herald by ten o'clock. Shang took charge of thecopy. 1t was put in type late at night and delayed under various pretexts until four o’clock next morning, when he sent over to the Herald copy for four solid columns, It was & deliberate scoop. The Herald came out that morning with a painful, aching void while the Republican was crammed with the pralses of the great explorer. Shang was a rustler on wheels. There ‘was just enough border outlawry and va- riety show life in town to make him feel at home, and he ‘‘dished up” the sensa- tions of the day with a vigor and freedom that made the Hereld the recognizad organof the sports. His career was shortlived however. The budding aris. tocracy of the town turned up its nose and pretended to feel insulted that the great religious daily should ignore them and devote columns to the doings of the Canada Bills and other moral outcasts. was then in his prime, and although the paper had been increased two columns in size he filled from four to six columns aday inhis own inimitable style. His sharp, crisp, condensed method of record- ing events made the paper bristle with life and vigor. Omaha was then a great news center, The building of the Paclfic railroads, and the great rush of people to Western Towa, Nebraska and the west made this city the supply depot and outfitting point. As a consequence the town grew rapidly In importance, Everything transpiring within a radius of one hundred miles ormore was consid- ered strictly “‘local” news, and naturally packed the columns of the paper avery day. Between Mac and Miller the Herald was a journalistic buzz-saw. ut times changed and Mac and iller drifted apart. Charley Colling took hold when McDonagh departed and kept his rebelli. ous disposition within bounds ong enough to earn a stake for A PAPER OF HIS OWN, His varied career is familiar to every newspaper man on both sides of the Missouri, that the details are needless here, ! Mr. Richardson frequently took a notebook in hand or a scissors to help out. And he is no amateur at the busi- ness, either. As an editorial joker he is immense, but his great weakness is glowing puffs of a phat advertiser, Frank Streamer, a noted desoriptive writer who once referred to the Rocky Shang returned to his old hauntsin Chi- cago and is living off the same elements there. “‘Phocion” Howard, the noted and er- ratic correspondent, occupied an eight by ten room there along in 1870. He was telegraph editor and proof reader snd slept on the mailing clerk’s table. He was THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED KICKER in the establishment, but his authority was confined strictly to ‘‘bossing the cub.” Among the many accomplish- ments of which Phocion boasted was the science of the ‘“‘manly art.” This he fre- quently impressed upon the subordinates of the office, particularly the cub. On one occasion, a bitter cold night, the cub rebelled against *‘Phocion” and in- vited him to go to that climate where winters are unknown. The printers, whose regard for Phocion was Infinitely small, urged on the cub, and an exchange of angry words followed, during which Howard dubbed the printers a gang of dogs without pedigrees. _ This was a sig- nal for a walkout into Howard’s room. Johnny Hook, Nat Beldea and Ed Wal- den_grabbed a sidestick each and moved on Howard’s mud batteries, while the cub and a mallet protected the rear of the procession. The boys beat a vigorous tattoo on Howard’s high-backed chair and demanded a retraction and an apol- ogy, which were reluctantly given,though not in very classic language. Howard's proweso as a pugilist reccived a decided set back after this, and his “KINGLY PREROGATIVES,” an he frequently called them, were made the foot-ball of the establishment. His career in the office was bricf owing to an inherent opposition to work of any kind and a weakness for free lunches and free beer. Before his departure from Omaha he arranged a sensation for his successors by leaving a note stating he was tired of life and determined to explore the mys- teries of the other shore. An old hat, supposed to be his, was found on the banks ot the Dlatte river shortly after, which tended to confirm the be- Shultz followed Calhoun as foreman d newsroom, and held the position with the excepti few months il th groat strike of 1874, He was by Iarge odds the most accomplished nanipulator of the shooting stick and mallet tha D!

Aftor the paper sold out Shultz stepped down and out, and George Washington Frost attempted to 1l his slippers but the paper died in less than a month, Mr. Schultz has since then filled various important positions on the staff of the Republican and is now ed- itor of the Weatern Newspaper Union, 0. P. Milton was another veteran printer who worked in the building off and on from %5 to 75, Ho maintained the general reputa. tion of the fraternity by living up to the full Timit of his means and considerably bayond it.

Lew, Bolton was another finished job com: positor who bad charge of the job room in '69-70, Ho graduated from thera to the hard- ware business in Des Moines, and was success- ful in his new undertaking. Nathan Belden graduated from the Herald to a farm in Dodge counth in 1870 and was soon after elected to the Nobraska legislature, Nat. was a ragid, clean compositor and co 11d talk more and set more typein an hour than any man in the shop.

He is a hard, conscientious worker for fiat money. Harvey Jones was another of the gemial, happy and handsome prints who graced an east window in the buildiog. He quit the business years ago and is now owner and man- ager of a large laundry in Fort Wayne, Ind. Sam Lowry, another veteran who threw up his case and called for the final proof-sheet of his life in Deadwood years ago, left indellible tobacco stains in one corner of the building. He could work more honrs and eat and sleep lees than any man in the shop. During the Franco. ssian war the Herald issued an afternoon edition and Lowry worked a full week on both editions and on Saturday night drew 858, Robert Charters—genial, light-hearted Bob —worked there for a number of years, bezin- ning in '70. Overflowing with mother wit and with just enough of the brogue to spice his humor, he was the life and light of the shop, One night he struck a piece of manuscript which tortured his brain to decipher, He finally made sense out of nonsense and charged it up to the oftice by pasting on his string— “‘five hundred for anxiety of moind.” 1t was allowed. Bob moved away from Omaha to Lincoln and died several years ago, mourned by a host of friends, When the Herald vacated the building in '74 it was used as a toy store for several years, On the re-organization of the Republican as a stock company the office was moved into the building and” remained there until a month ago. e —— Serofula diseases manifest themselves in the warm weather.

But Phocion loved life too well to cut it short, and was next heard of as traveling correspondent of the Chicago Tribune and is now publishing a paper at Peoria, Illinois, THE PRINTERS ‘Who made Omaha a halting place immedi- ately after the war and for eight years follow- ing, were like the ploncers of states—strong, brave and every inch men, Thoroughly versed in all the requirements of the trade, from the press-room to the composing room, not require the revision of manu: noteven the headings, T not mere type-setting mach There was no such thing as revision of telegraph, and the headman counted himself fortunate if he did not, make the display headings himself, Many of the best printers found Dr, Miller raphy @ rock on which they laid the and donned their coats, "1t was cons by many who had experience with both, to be & second edition of Horace ( loy's, 1t wasa terror to the uninitiated, and iv was a frequent occurrence to stall the doctor himsclf on his own hand-writing.

Jean Robei is unquestionably one of the foremont living flower painters. His pictures excel in their fidelity to nature, the warmth and richness of their coloring, and his subtle rendering of the spirit of the flower. His roses are unrivaled. Like ovary artist of genius, Robio has been very unwilling to permit the publi- cation of copies of his most cherished works, 1t is a matter for just congratn- Iation to Americans that ho has, at last, accorded this privilege to one of the most famous art publishers. Mr. Louis Prang has undertaken to reproduce one of the artlst's masterpieces as n satin print.
