rscord of the candidate, was not equivalent 0 an eloction, It was one of the greatest of the long list of victories scored by Tir Brs. The Defeat of Senator Van Wyck. The re-eloction of Senator Charles H. Van Wyck was tho absorbing issuc in the legis- 1ative campaign of 1586, A majority of re- publican county conventions and many dem- ocratic conventions indorsed his great work congress, und the nominees were pledged, elected, to vote for his return to the sen- ate. But the tools of monopoly and the yen- om of partisan roustabouts combined in avery district to defeat the men pledged to wvote for him. Notwithstanding this bitter opposition of the corporate strikers in both parties, a strong majority of the ‘members olected were pledged to him. The senato- rial contest in January was a remarkably Mitter one. Every political roustabout, every fobbyist and procurer were enlisted,together with the ratlroad forces, to defeat tha sena- tor. Boodle was indiscriminately used by contractors and jobbers, and men who could S0t be bribed were threatened and bulldozed, Had it not been for the infamous decision of the presiding officer, Shedd, Van Wyck would have been elected on the first joint ballot. The officer purposcly ignored the rules and refused to allow changes of votes after the roll had heen called After the first “ew baliots, somo of the men who publicly and privately pledged themselves, betrayed their constitucnts, vio- lated their pledwes and ovenly joined the encmy. They sold their manhood for money or promise of offics, and defeat he will of the people, expressed in an overwheluing majority at the ballot box. Every republi- can was finally cajoled into a cauc gt Nonpartisan Judges. The judicial campaign of 1887, in this dis- trict, was a decidedly lively one. Tue B) rsistently urged the elimination of politics rom the bench, but the roustabouts thon controlling the’ republican party machine, banking on the sure republican majority in the district, dotermined to ignore the advice of the bar and the best citizens and foist upon the bench men unficted by ability and character v occupy that exalted position. A nonpartisan ticket was unominated. The roustubout machine, inspived by the Republican, rofused to nominate Judges ‘Wakeley and Groff, the former because he was a democrat, and the latter because ho was a_republican indorsed by democrats. Judge Hopewell was renominated and the ticket filled out with O. H. Ballou, Lee HEstelle and A. U. Hancock, of Papillion. The nonpartisan ticket had a walkaway, the can- didates being elected by from 2,500 to 4,000 Prjority. The City Hall Fight. In the spring of 1885 the city council and board of county commissioners effected a trade with Hon. W. A. Paxton, by which the ¢ity obtained the present site for the city hall. During the summer plans for the building were secured from Architect Myers, of Detroit. The board of education joined with the city and contributed $25,000 toward the cost of the building, or one-eighth of the total. At the November electton the ques- tion of issuing $200,000 in bonds, the proceeds to'ba_ devotod to 'tho construcuion of the building on the chosen site, was submitted to the voters and approved by a vote of 3,010 to 280. The contract for tne foundution was let to Regan Bros., and afterwards trans- ferred to Breunan & Whalen. The work dragged along at a snail pace, The con- tructors stood in with the council ring, and the orders of the board of public works were ignored. Finding that they could not make any money out of the job, the contractors disputed the pluns of the architecy and in- duced their friends in the council to abro- ate tho contract and reject the plans. Then ollowed hitigation and a decision of the dis- trict court enjoining vhe council from chane- ing the plans or expending the money voted on auy other site without first submitting the question to a vote of the people. After years of delay and turmoil the question wa s submitted to a vote last February, with Eighteenth and FParnam and Jefferson square @s caudidates for the site. The campaign was brief but exccedingly lively. The boomers of Jefforson square were over- whelmed by a mountain of votes. In this fight, as in nearly all others, Tue Ber fought alone for the intorests and credit of the city against the open and secret opposi: tion of all other papers. The trinmph was, therefore, us gravifying as it was ewphatic. Birdseye View From the Roof The roof is an immense expanse of smooth Brick pavement, with just sulicient inclina- tion to shed the wator. The little turrcts ‘which from the streets are com, significant in size, upon closer loom up to an immense size. invisible below, 15 a huge mound of iron and glass, shows above the roof, contains brick enough to build a respectable house. Tho delighttul exhilaration inspired by a promenade at this atitude must be experienced to be appreci- ated. The city, with all her hills and val- leys, spires and domes, lic spread out below like o relief map. It would be dificult in words to paint the picture—a living sca of arle green leaves with spires and gables inhumerable peep- ing up among the billows: roofs and square of dull red brick; a small forest of tall, black chimneys spouting up a light,grey smoke; broad, straight bands of drab with human flies on foot and in toy carriages creeping oyerywhere; then a broad valley of %nllawinh green; o winding, glistening river urying itself in the sombre biuffs, and over all the thin purplish haze of a city’s myriad chimneys. o the four points of the com- pass there is an uninterrupted view of miles of avenues of trees, roofs and roofs intermin- able, that look as if they had come from a gigautic sprinkler. To the south over the park and down through the valley to South Omaba is a dense forest of trees, rising and falling like the waves of the sea, Away to the north is the fort, Plorence and the water works, while westward lie mules upon miles of rolling farm lands,corn ficlds and orchards. To aud fro along Yarnam, Sixteenth and other leading streets, visible for al- most their entire length surges a mestiess tide of bumanity. Gaily painted carrisges and gaily dressed ladies and chil- daren glanoe hither and thither through the tide; gilded signs and trappings glisten in the sun like molten gold, car after car toils pain- tuu‘;{ slong with its load, cabsand carriages dash hither and thither through the erowd and sll the myriad sounds of the city biend Mto one ceaseless rumbling roar. The bridgys and viaducts, like fairy structures, seem suspended in midair. The picture is lnlpirini to the eye and eharmiig to the senses. 1t is a panorama of buman sctivity and industry, of vernal hills and shaded homes, with the heaven's um- wivaled boue for a canopy. Superintendents. Upon the recommendation of the architect Mr. R. W, Baker,of Milwaukee, was engage a8 superintendent of construction. Mr, er had o record as one of the best build- ing superintendents in this country, his last Rreat b\ll\dmfifilnk the magnificent struc- ture crectec) Milwaukee by the North- ‘weatern Mujual Life Insurance company. To Mr. Baker is larzely due the perfect con- struction of the various parts of the Bee building. Hle not only exacted strict com- pliance with the details and good workman- ship from eazh contractor, but took under hi personal charge the purchasing of materials aoa hiring of mechanics emh\loyafl on the flooring, Eulutln and roof work, which were all done by day labor. ———— Contracrors. The Bee building has been erected under the immediate direction of E. Rosewater, ‘who made all the contracts, beginning with the architect and ending with the sidewalk, The m:anllndu of this task may be readily conceived when we state that some tifty odd separate countracts have been entered into and carried on in the erection of this struc- ture.

The carly numbers of Tiur Brw were lib- erally graced with advortisemonts, Bvery business house of importance was repro- sented. Many of them have su disap- peared or changed hanas, and their owners have gone to new fields of activity—somo e o t rest. Several of the old houses prospered and continue to-day under the original name. A glance at the list will AWAKED memor rly days, of men who were consp life twenty years ago and contributed thewr share to the d and deep foundation of the Gate ci The most vonspicuous positions on the first page of the paver were occupied by two sa- loon ads—one at the top and the other at the bottom of the page. P J amara an- nounced that he was an mporter and wholesale dealer in wines and liguors.,” He occupied an old frame rookery on the ground where the Strang building now stands, and continued the business with varying success until the Leadville broke out. He joined the rush to the carbonnute camp and succumbed to the deathly mountain fevadr, M. J. McKelligon anuounced a large and choice stock of stimulants, At that occupied what is now the ground flour of the lden Musee, where he did a flourishing business until a revenue agent c it inflating his stock with water, considerable political pressure to get him out of toils, but he succeeded at the rifice of the business. Sivce that time he bas bad a variegated career throughout the west and southwest. Alf. D. Jones dealt in boots and shoes, “‘cheap for cash,” on the corner of Twelfth and Dodge C. 8. Gi ler, July firework Michael Donovan, who now enjoys repose as a city inspector, was then landlord of the “Jones house,” oun Twellth street near Dodge. I'rom there hie shifted to the noted Douglas house on Harney street, und closad his career a lanalord in the Creighton house ou Thirteenth street, a few years ago. Eaton, the photographer, operated his camera on the southeast corner of Iifteenth and Dougls while the erratic and genial Frank Currier stroked his whiske: tavely over “Shinn’s hall,” il block. Iaton is still in the business, but Currier was gathered to his fathers a few years ago. Henry Hornberger was chief manager of the *'1 X L,” Fifteenth and Dodge strecets, where “frosh cool lager” was always on tap, Sunduys included. Henry continues in tho business, having acquired an olegantly rounded form, and a stack of shekels to match. E. T. Page, the venerable giant who passed away in 'S4 at the age of eighty, an- nounced that “square meals’ and prompt service could be had at the City hotel, Tenth and Farnam streets, The large vacancy in icinity is not due to his demisq F. Court, ove of the old timers, ran the “Pionecr boct and shoe store,” in the old Pioneer block, Farnam_street. He moved with his family to St. Louis about twelve years ugo. John Baumer was then as now in the jew- elry business, but further east on KFarnam street. L. Berthold & Co., tersely informed an anxious public that his junk store had been “removed to 230 Douglas street,” while “Klgutter's Mammoth store” was then a loan office, “‘where goods can be purchased for one-half the original cost.” Sawing machine companies were among the liberal advertisers of those days, 'The Singer, Wheeler & Wilson and Grover & Baker were the great rivais for public favor. The famous “Cal Wagner’s minstrels, un- dor the management of J. H. Haverly,” disported at the Academy of Music, June 22, 1871. Tue Ber of that date also an- nounced that “that shrieking sisterhood, under the lead of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stan- ton, now in the prime of life, have begun the social reconstruction of Omaba.” The Tivoli garden dealt in music and beer in equal quantities, but has been somewhat cleansed since then by the addition of a natatorium. Henry L. Latoy dealt in confections and managed an ice cream parlor on the Soutn- west corner of Twelfth and Douglas. Here ho prospered and plodded quietly along until Mys. Latey’s voice grew too rich for his blood. Family and business bankruptey fol- lowed, and Latey plunged himself and his troubles into the mountains of Colorado. One of the curiosities of the infant BEr were the flaming displays of Dr. Stoddard, who proclaimed his ability as a care-all. During the fall of ’71, Tix Bee denounced him as an imposter and a murderer, Stod- dard was indicted, triel and convicted of procuring an abortion, and sent to the peni- tentiary for one year. This incident was the beginning of a series of bold and seusational attacks on the medical charlatans of the city. Later on Dr. Marvin foilowed in the footsteps of Stoddara, and Mumey, Aldrich, Fishblatt, Powell and others were hunted out of town. The Pattee & Gardner lottery was m full blast in the fall of '71. The prizes amounted o $150,000, with “Redick’s opera house,” then a monument of enterprise, as the principal prize. As an extra inducement to the public to take the bait, a two-line pica announcement was made that a large l)url.iun of the winnings would go te Mercy hospital. Pattce was particularly careful that none of the big prizes got away. The Sheeley Bros. and Tom Swift sold wood by the cord those days. Now they are enjoying & well-carned rest, the former watching their rent roll, the latter guarding Jefferson square. G. W. Gray operated a job printing office at the corner of ‘Twelfth and Farnam. He has since bean promoted to the dignified posi- tion of porter in a brewery. Creighton & Morgan conducted a grocery store at 205 (old number) Farnam street. he fact that they are now retired capital- !‘)ll" is proof that the business was profita- 0. Dan B, Sargent's jewelry store was a thriving institution on Thirteenth street be- tween Farnam and Douglas, until fire swept it away one afternoon in the summer of '72. Directly opposite was the boot and shoe store of Wyman & Guiou, then the leading store of the class in the town. Tho firm long since joined the majority. G. H. & J. 8. Collins annonnced a *‘closing out sale” of the retail boot and shoe branech of their business. The tirm was then located in Central block on Farnam street. “The. senior member met his death by an acei- dental pistol shot at_his home, but the firm nawe was maintained and the business car- ried on by J. S, Collins in lurger quarters on Douglas street, Dewey & Trimble was then the name of the furniture house which has become oune of the leading mercantile establishments in Omaha or the west. “S. D, Mercer, M. D., Visscher's block,” was the modest announcement of the great motor boomer of today. C. F. Goodman ran a mineral water factory” at 180 Farnam street. M. Hellman & Co., Milton Rogers, W. N. Whitney, Henry Dohl, A. B. Huberman and others were liberal patrons of Tue Bee in the early days, ana still continue business at or near the old stands.

Recollections of Men and Hvents of a Decade Ago. AN EDITOR IN SEARCH OF A JOB. A Panoramic View of the Interior of the Old Bee Offices, With Their Wealth of Vigorous Work- ers—Reminescences. Recollections of Seventy-Nine. T am asked to give my recollections of Tie Treof ten years ago. The picture of the great v housad in its palatial qv with its score of editors and reporters and its two hundred newsgatherers in difforent parts of the state, the west and the great eastern capitals, rises before me as I attempt to sketch the institution on that August morning when I first presented mysolf as an aspirant for aplace on its staff. The time which Las elapsed makes the contrast none the less vivid, despite tho many changos which have taken place in the interval. Of the editors, reporters, foremen, clerks and “'prints” who-in 1875 helped to make the Omaha Ber, scarcely a half dozen remain, I'he vickety old aesks, tables, cases and im- posing stones are replaced by new and hand- some fwrniture. The single cylinder Hoe press which we then thought a wmarvel of specd and watched iu youthful rapture is replaced by mouster Webb machines throwing off their thousands of papers un bour. The little corner in which the wheezy Baxter engine threatened with in- stant death tho surrounding mneighborhood has given way to an acre of boilers, dynamos, monster Corliss engines, elovator pumps, switch boards, wetting machines, and the innumer- able pieces of paraphernalia with which the modern newspaper structure 1s equipped. Let mo ask some of the sprightly yvoung weutlewen connected with that newspaper to-day, and who glide up through seven- story space in the cabs of handsome eley: tors to accompany me on_a visit to the Ben building and the BEE establishment as it was ten years.ngo. ‘The dusky two-story red brick structure in which Tie I3eE was tnen printed was scarce ly less inferior to the oflice from which it nas lately moved than its late quarters are to those which it to-day occupies. A lurgo bee-hive painted on its front warned all ap- plicants for positions that work and not style was what was required of inmates. Insiae, on the ground floor, the counting roow di- vided with the job oftice the honors of gloom and dirt. A semi-circular counter, sur- mounted by a hideous cast-iron railing, kept at bay employes dunniug for advauces on their salary avd a public not too impatiently rushing to get in advertisements. At tho rear, o dozen type cases, a battered vroof press, and three or four imposing stones on ricketty stands announced the presence of the job oftice, and bvointed the way to tho editorial k stairs, Thoy were dark and crusted with dirt; and, as 1 climbed them and entered the editorial rooms I thought that I had never seen such a dingy set of quarters as those into which 1 stepped. The editor’'s den was situated in the center of the building, with no light ex- cept such as straggled in through a glass sash partition which divided it from the com- posing room in front. The windows were thirty-five feet distance from the desk, and the sunbeams were forced to dodge a Score of stands, cases and imposing stones before they could reach Mr. Rosewater’s table. Ou the other side was the city editor’s room, similarly situated with respect to the rear of the building, and cut off from its windows by the job office and editorial room of the “Pokrok Zapadu,” that 1ting Bobewian journal, then as now edited by sturdy John Rosicky. The combination of smells and the odor of printing ink, roller com- position, turpentineand old clothes, the calls of “Slug Five, does A 2 end even,’ and *‘Pull out,” the clanking of the proof press, the un- intelligible jabber of a party of Bohemians in the rear room consulting the editor about @ marriage License, joined to an acrid contro- versy between the city editor and an angry subscriber, made a scenc which left an in- delible impression on my mind, There were no drones on Tur BEE of old days. Each man was expected to do six men’s work, willing to do four’s, and generally compromised on fi Mr. Rosewater and Al Sorenson consti- tuted the staff before my arrival, the first bearing the title of editor and proprietor and the latter carrying the burden of the city department. Mr. Rosewater was par ex- cellence the all-around man of the estab- lishment. He seemed to have obtuined the secret of two of the_attributes of Deity; he was omnipresent and apparently omniscient, He wrote heavy editorials and pungent e itorial paragraphs; contributed local polit- ical news to the city page, clippea selections forthe news columns, selected items for those startling chestuuts dubbed “‘Connubial Biiss,”” “Peppermint Drops” and ‘‘Honey for the Ladies,” regulated the business office n dozen times a day, and took sub- scriptions on the streets and advertising con- tracts from the merchants. I used to think his only sorrow was that be had not in addi- tion been born a steam engine so that he could run the presses, They were about the only thing in the establishment that he did not move. In addition to his ordinary duties above named, he constantly developed strong mterest in local politics, and always bad o dozen fights and twice that number of ward politicians on his hands. O city or county election days, T Bee office was usually depopulated and every man, from editor down, after rushing in copy, early took a whirl at'the polls, Af- ter a hard day’s work on election day, fol- lowed by an all night session in collécting returns, the editor would bob up serenely at 9 o'clock the next morning with his arm fult of exchanges and his mouth full of sugges- tions about the paper, the last always pbrti- neut but not as uniformly agreeable. His indomitable energy, his uncompromisiag per- sistency and his invincible pluck were at once the wonder and admiration of the office. Carrying the heavy financial burden ef a paper depending alone upon its excellence for popular support and fighting its battles single handed, in the darkest days he never doubtea its ultimate success, and hopefully increased expenses with every increase of receipts. Overworked himself, ho took his own high tension as the norme of work, and found it difficult to understand why all of his employes could nov endure checrfully the same racking. This made him often’ very unpleasant as an employer, but it disciplined his employes, who found no dificulty else- where in more than attaining the level of work of other offices. ‘The city editor was another journalistic “Pooh Bab.”” He had no other copy to edit but his own, and was ex- pected, with the aid of “paid ocals” to fill five columns day on the fourth page. He was religious and society reporter, reflector of the doings of the courts and railways, dramatic critic and sporting, fire and commercial editor at one and the same time. His duties began at 6 o’clock in the morning when he commenced to turn in py for the morning edition, then printed at 7:40, and ended when the news gave out for the day. In that interval of from twelve o eighteen hours he was expected to cover, solitary and alone, the twelve scattered square miles of stores ana dwellings which ten years ago comprised the baliwick of Omaha. The early morning round began immediately after breakfast. It comprised a rapid visit to the coroner’s and undertaker’s, the district court, the eounty clerk’s oftice to transcribe the real estate transfers, an in- terview with all the ity and conuty ofiicials, as brief usually as a society call, and a hasty return to the editorial rooms in order to write up the material gleaned before noon. This little journey was followed at 12 o’clock by a visit to the depot to take in the overland west bound train, to pump the depot ofiicials and to interview distinguished travelers, real or :maginary. ~After this another flying trip was made before 2 o'clock to the coro- ner's and court house, when copy was pre- pared and banded in for the afternoon edi- tion, proof read, visitors received, advance egeuts of shows entertained and numerous other minor matters attended to. After the went to press he was often at liberty for the rest of the evening, except- ing when a fire broke out or an entertain- ment presented itself to be reported, in which case he was expected to be on kand.

Tom Fitzmarris was foreman of the news- room, with ?;zon or eight printers to herd. He added t@t o duties of cutting up copy. measuring $trings and employing and dis- charging typessetters, the responsibilities of editing telegranh, making up the forms for two daily editions and selocting matter for and arranging ghe weekly. His skill as a head-liner vas phenomenal. The most com- monplace itehi or article, undor the glow of his imaginatitn, appeared garbed in an atiractive hie! On oceasions when tho edi- tors were sut and the calls for copy wore loud, he used to rush in desperation into the editorial roowm; sieze the shears and olip miscellany by the column, thus usurping the functions of the news editor. It is only fair to say that the paper nover suffered by reason of bis incursions. Later Fitzmorris [ 3 i SEE by his itty handling of the department seidental jottings which were extensively copied thronghout the west. It was a small staff but I doubt if that of any other newspaper of the country worked as hard, was half as ambitious or more faith- ful to the interests of the paper which they served. There was an esprit (e corps which in spite of hard times,smafl pay and the con- stant contentions 1n which the paver was en- gaged, bound together tho little band of workers. They were all Ber men to the backbone, tried to make its fights their own and o1t tHAL its interests were their inter eats and its reverses their misfortunecs. They fought its battles on *“‘soft paper” and drove in the line of retreat afterwards on the streete. Among themseives and in the oftico they cursed, porhaps,the infernal, driv- ing persistency of the proprietor, but they invariably aefended him on the outside. They unselfishly and manfuliy did five men’s work, each man of them, because they knew it was necessary in order to keep ahead of the procession, but they never allowed their grumbling to interfere with the regular out- pour of copy. Tur Bee advanced steadily, primarily, of course, because of the pust and the pluck of its editor who was a man of ideas, but no less because, ke a good gen- cral, he gathered around him a staff of sub- ordinates who intelligently aud faithfully carried out his policy. 1 venture the assertion that there is no one of the old staff of 1879, wherever or however he may be engaged to-day, who does not feel asense of porsonal gratitication at the show- ing which the on this its cigh- teenth auniversary. 1d building is abandoned. In its place rises the lurgest in area and oneof the most palatial newspaper structures in the world. The old faces no longer peer anxiously over the battered edi- torial tables, but in their stead younger and pernaps brighter men direct from oditorial desks the reporters and writers who sorve up fresh news and virile opinions. T'he job office has long been consigned to junk, but its old manager, Harry Huskell, a little grayer muy hap, but none the less vigorous,presides over t gest,the lightest and the best arranged composing room in the country. The ding dirty and hot editorial den of ten years ag is metamorphosed into a handsome parlor with massive mantel, nlaid floor, oriental rugs and elegant furniture; but at the central desi sits to-day, as e did & decade ago, the mainspring of the establishent, the editor and proprietor, Mr. Rosewater, justly proud of the results of nearly twenty years of labor, of which he is for the first time reap- ing the fine fruits. W. E. ANNIN, fome'Oid Time Rustlers. The cighteenth anniversary of the BEE, coupled with its removal to a magnificent nome, recalis miny pleasant memorics of by- gene days, and gf the men who, under Mr. Rosewater’s energetic, high pressure system, lenrned the lesson of ceuseless journalistic toil. With pogsibly two exceptions these men ave still in the barness, onc cnjoying the ease and luxury which good fortune brings, the other has becomg a stellar attraction in the local dramatic fixmament. I became acquainted with Mr. Rosewater back in '6), twa ygars before the journalistic zzed round his ears, when he managed ting rovm of the Western Union, then located in the Hellman building. Later, as manager of the Atlantic & Pacific tele- graph Lines.. he: displayed that faculty for newsgathering which has since developed and wade Tur Ber the envy of rivals and the admiration of the profes- sion, ‘Lhen as now Western Union had a monopoly of the associated press dispatches. ‘the r company was anxious to secure the news, and the boys who carried mani- fold sheets between the telezraph office and the Herald and itepublican were objects of Mir. Rosewater's special attention. His in- ordinate appetite for news was only equalled by the fatherly care bestowed upon the boys, and they soon learned to look upon him as a friend and protector, The energy and perse- verence shown ia those days soon became a conspicuous feature of his carcer in journal- ism, and the success which has crowned his labors in that field is not surprising to the boys whom he patted on the back with pater- nal affection vwenty years ago. Iwas not a stranger to Mr. Rosewater, whnen, in the fall of *71, I weet into the infant Bee office in search of work. The oftice was located on the ground floor of the old Redfield building. In one corner of the room the editor in chiof was perched on a box nervously assaulting white paper. Near the door was located the famous liter- ary bureau of George Krancis Train, presided over by his private secretary, George P, Bemis, Train was vhen laying bis plans to capture the presidency, and Tne Bek was chosen as the official organ of the prospective administration. To the left a tall, slender youth bent over a printer's case, engaged in a painful effort to decipher some of Train’s abominable beiroglyphics, The effort was evidently a failure, for the typo exploded @ vigorous, low-necked ex- pletive, and fired the manuseript through the window. This incident served me as an in- troduction to Al Sorenson und two days’ sub- bing on his case. There was no evidence of luxurious ease 1 the estabiishment. The editor jostled with the printers, exchanged opinions with them, and urged them to “pull out for a phat take” with the ease and aban- don of a veteran typo. No partitions divided the institution, Business matters were dis- cussed as readily a8 politics, and confidences exchanged as fréely as tho s0ap box, which served as a lounge for visitors. There were no elegantly furnshed rooms for the staff, because there was no staff. There were no handsome oaken desks. A three-legged table was a luxury, and the washstand, reek- ing with the grime' and grease of forgotten ages, was the foundution of many a scorch- ing editoral or @ caustic local sensation.

By 1870 Ben fally emerged from the gloom of financial distress, and indulged in an assistant editor. W. K. Annin, a pale, delicato, nervous young man, was ushored into the editorial den one day and given a chair and table. The room was located in the conter of the building. The partitions were of glass, elegantly frescood with smoko and dust. The editor's room faced the com- ronlng room, and the occupants received such nvigorating air as filtered throngh printers’ cases, imposing stones and other parapher- nelia, flavored with ink, lye, ete. Tho win- dows of the den were generally raised, on- abling the scribes to hear the comments of the printers on the literary efforts. I con- fess to a lingering admiration for the paste- pot which stood in mute dignity on a table. What it lacked in internal decoration, it mado up in external strength and cohosive flavor, I knew its value and respectoed its taste. There were fow flies on it, because they knew its power and gaveit a cold shoul- der. Itwasa friend in need. When tho fountains of thought trickled wearily the paste-pot was stirred to activity and filled out a column with neatness and some dispatches. 1t fell to my lot to acquaint Mr. Annin on the uses snd abuses of the pastepot, but for some unknown reason & coldness sprung up between them which years of assooiation failed to dispo] Mr. roved an in the editorial harness. efforts did not meet with much encouragement from Mr. Rosewater. He did not expect 1t, knowing Mr. Rose- water's disposition to test ovory writer in the furnace of severe criticism., But Mr. Anuin determined to win success. An easy, raceful writer, active und studious, possess: ing a good ear, a retentivo memory and a vivid imagination, his coutributions to the waste-basket gradually diminished in quan- tity and flowed into the columns of the paper. He acquainted himself thoroughly with Mr. Rosewater’s views of men and measures, absorbed his caustio style of ox- pression, and in a few years becamo as much Rosewater as Rosewater himself. D. W. Haynes, the genial troasurer of Hoyd’s opera house, flourished for o briof period as managing editor of Tnr MorNING ke, Doc was a modest, retiring typo in those days, He held a caso'on the day force 1 1880. The morning edition had outgrown 1ts swaddling clothes and demanded more care and attention than could be bestowed upon it between 6 and 7:80 a. m. A night shift was decided upon. It consisted of two men, Doc was unanimously chosen man- aging editor, foreman and koeneral factotum, 1t can be said to s credit_that his adminis- tration was u success. Harmony reigned night after night. It his force of ona man showed a disposition to rebel because Doc “hogged the hook” or devcnred the bulk of the luuch, he would quell tho rising storm by apt quotations from Prentiss or instruct. g his subordinate in imperious tomes to “‘paste white.”” In this way he succeeded in endearing himself to the *‘gang,” and on re- tiring from the case left a long string of pleasant memorics. nos B. Haynes, now managing oditor of Tue Bee, servod his apprenticeship at the case in 'i5- He did not stick to the types very long, but turned his attontion to sten- ography, mastercd the dots and dashes. and was installed as Mr. Rosewater’s private secretary. After spending o winter in Lin- coln reporting the proceedings of the legisia- ture. he drifted into the Unton Pacific head- quarters, next as court reporter in this dis- trict, and finally returned to his first love. These men contributed much to the su cess of Tne Bre. True, Mr. Rosewater was the guiding bead, the will force which shaped the destiny of the paper. [lis bat- tles were thews. . In and out of offica they fought and defended nim against venomous personal and political enemies. They cham- pioned his nterests, drummed. up subscrib- ers, tioklod advertisers with timely puffs, and by their enthusiasm induced their friends to become advocates of the paper in workshops and bomes. In those days it was impossible to work under Mr. Rosewater without inibibing some of his zeal, his inten- sity of purpose znd the pluck and de- vermination with which he faced pub- lic sentiment in defense of the weank or attacked the arrozant and corrunt in pub- lic station. In victory and defeat they stood by him, sharing his joys or regrets to- day and looking out for & scoop for the mortow. Those here to-day must exper- ience a family pride atthe unveiling of maguificent wonument which crowns the lubors of eighteen years. The Bee's First Collector. About the middle of July, 1371, being de- sirous of learnmng the telegraph business, I went to the office of the Atlantic and Pacific Tolegraph company, then situated on Thir- teenth street, across the alley from the pres- ent site of the Omaha Natioual bank, asking for the manager. A small, heavy-set gentle- man came to the counter, to whom I made known my desires. The gentleman told me I could come and learn the trade, and for me to report the fol- lowing Monday morning. This was my first meeting with the Hon, Edward Rosewater. At the appointed time I was on hand. Mr. Rosewater introduced me to Mr. McCoy, the head operator,who showed me the telegraph- er's alphabet, but I was neyer destined to perfect myself in the mysteries of tele- graphy, for on Tuesday Mr. Rosewater came to me with a little book, which one could easily carry in a coat pocket, and requested me to make out some bills for THE Omana Dary Bee. Tue Be, at this time, was distributed free, and I guess from the way a z0ood many of the advertisers “kicked” on the bills, they thought that the adverusing was free t00: nevertheless, by Saturday might 1 succeeded in collecting about 50, which fairly represented the in- come of T'HE BEE for that week, I was paid $5 for my work and from that time I became a regular employe. ‘The editor, an Englishman by the name of Geralde, and myself, were the only persons outside of the printers who were on the pay roll. My work consistad of soliciting ‘‘ads’ and collecting bills; Mr. Rosewater did most of the local work and often wrote editorials in the absence of Geralde. Indeced, Geralde was a character. He was a devout Roman Catho- licand was equally devoted to the use of opium. He always gave, asan excuse for not showing up at his workon time, that this was “‘Saint s0 and 80's day.”” Geralde and Rosewater fell out soon and the former left the office. About this time Mr. Rosewater wis very hard pressed for money, but to his credit and generosity it is due to say,that though he had no work for Geralde, I was orderad to buy fuel and groceries and send to his family, whom Mr. Rosewater sup- ported unknown to Geralde most of that winter. After Geralde's departure Mr. Rosewater became tbe editor-and a man by the name of Pratt, a regular “Bohemian,” took charge of the local department. But I forgotto say that some time in September, 1871, Tue Brg ceased to b free, and a charge of ' 12}{ cents per week was made, which I collected, in ad- dition to my other duties. With the advent of Pratt, the local, things becawe lively, for he certainly was a ‘‘rus- tler.”” At this time Tug Bre office was lo- cated in Redfield’s building, on the corner of Twelfth and Dodge streets. We soon moved out of there to the one immediately south, which was afterwards burned down, much to Mr. Rosewater's damage. Here u man by the name of Anderson w employed to kecp books; I doing the collect- ing. One day a dispute arose between An- derson on one side and Pratt and myself on the other; what it wasabout I do not now remember, but the lie was passed, and An- derson picked up an ink stand to throw at me. Idodged, but it took Mr. Rosewater in the breast; then the fun began. The print- ers rushed in and we all tovether kicked poor Auderson around like a foot ball; Rose- ‘water in the mean time uyiuir: keep out of the way of books, chairs, bottles, ete.; at last Anderson jumped out of a window sund e80i 1 believe we were all told by An- derson that this was our last week on Tur Ber; but that night the place was burned down, and Auderson was sent to the “‘pen’ for four years for arson. Pratt was discharged and one of the print- ers, Al Sorenson, took Pratt's pluce. % Just before leaving the Redfield bufldmfi Tue WeskLy Bee was started, after mucl consultation with the leaders of the republi- can_party, including General 8. A. Strick- land, 1. 5. Hascall and others. Immediately after the fire we moved down to Mr. Rosewater’s brick building on lower Farnam street. Many instances that occurred during ewployment on Tus Bes ave indelibly apt pupil His earlier FrrzMonnis. my en- graved on my memory. I will mention one more: The increase in business and the marvelous growth of the paper had necossi- tated the omplwmnnl of a bookkeoper, a one logged man, My duties were then to collect tho bills for advertising and mailing the weekly, 'This bookkeeper would give me bills to collect and I would tuen_the money over to him. It soon became evident that some ono was stoaling, 80 a_search was instituted by Mr. Rosewater and his suspictons fell upon the bookkeeper, whom I was 8ot to watch, Isoon found that he was forgin chocks in _Mr. Rosewater’s name anx 1 got hold of & number of the forgorics, and in _Mr. Rosewator's presence accused him of the crime. He did not deny it, but went down into his pocket for a pistol. Rosewator oaught his hand and the pistol was taken from him. Mr. Book- keeper then loft Tur Brr and Omaba. We afterwards learned that ho was sent to Erhmn in Missour: for the same offense. He eat Tie Ber out of about $400 Some time in September, 1873, whon call- ing upon General Strickland to collect a bill, the genoral askod me if T would like to study law. After talking the matter over with my parents and Mr. Rosewater, I concluded to do so. [ then severed my connections with Tng Ber and went into the law office of Strick- land & Webster ‘-l. L. Webster), Altheugh no longar au employe of Mr. Rosewater, my two_years' service with nim at & time when his paper was struggling against .foarful odds for an oxistonce has made me feel and take a greav personal interest in its auccess, and I can never ceaso to be grateful to Mr. Rosewater for his many kindnosses to me as a young man and a struggling lawyer. To-day, the eighteenth anniversary of Tue Bre, wien the offorts of its founder have been crowned with success, in it's becoming one of the great newspapers of the country, and it has “hived” from the back room of a little telegraph office, into one of the finest buildings west of Chicago, I extend my con- gratulations, EDWARD W, SIMEKAL, ki The Army Headquarters. The ofiices of the headquarters of the department of the Platte of the reguiar army are located on the fifth floor. The entire story, consisting of thirty-eight rooms, is utilized. In thenortheast corner, in a large,spacious room,General Brooke,the commanding officer, bas his quarters, The apartment is a most elegant one, with clos and lavatories adjoining, and a tiled grate one corner. Adjoining General Brooke's room on tho west is a reception room for visitors and next to this is a room for the general’s aides. The other outside apartments along the corridor are occupied as follows: Colonel Henry, inspector of rifle practice. Captain Ray, judge advocate general, Colonel Terrill, chief paymaster, Major Baker, pay departmont. Colonel Mae Parlin, medical director. These are the cccupants of the rooms on the south. Along the western side the following dis- position has been made of the rooms:— Clerks—two rooms. Colonel Lyons, chiet ordnance officer—two rooms. Clerks to the quartermaster—two rooms. North sido:— Major Vroom, inspector general. ¥ngineer’s ofice—three rooms. Clerks to the adjutant general—three rooms. 13ast sido i— General Breck, assistant adjutant general. General Barringer, chief commissary. Clerks to the chief commissary—three rooms. The interior apartments, abutting on the court, will be occupied by clerks and used as storage rooms. All the apartments on this floor are ele- gantly furnished, and the floor seems to have becn arranged with a view to its present oc- cupancy. e ——— MARRYING TOILETS. Attraccive Dresses Warranted to Win a Husband For the Wearer. “You had better let me make it up y you'll catch a husband ¥ ght, and you can pay the $30 after youw're married, 1 tell yoir what it is, clothes are the bost invest- ment a young woman ever put her money into.” That’s what a Thirty-first street mod- iste had to say to a brown-Laired woman who wanted a new dress could not afford, and this is what she said to the writer. [ make dozens of marrying dresses, This girl here is not bad looking, and if she were correctly dressed she would be positinely handsome. You see she carries herself nicely and has plenty of good poiuts, but very little money. She is going ofl to a fashinable watering place with some friends, and I know if she lets me make up this cus- tard moire as I wish it will be the means of getting her a husband., The toilet 15 worth $110 and I have agreed to let her have it for $80. If she marries she can pay me the $30, and if it malkes no im- pression on the men, why then Iam the loser. This talk about men not caring what a woman has on isthe worst kind of nonsense. They care a great deal and care so continually tnat they have neither eyes nor attention for their unfashionable friends. “I1f I had an income of but $20 a week I’d put 815 of it 1n clothes. Why, sakes alive! let two women enter a street car, and the one that is best dressed gets a seat every time. Clothes win, whether you go to church, on a journey or only to a city shop. One mneed not make a show of herself, but if she expects to be noticed, and that’s the first step to being known, she must keep herself in nice shoes, neat gloves and a fetchy dress. You'ro not married, are you? But you 0 out a good deal, don’t you? “Well, I've a piece of India salmon brocade here that I'd like to make you for $90, and if you don’t ensnare a man’s affections the third time you wear it I’ll allow you a rebate of $20.” IT MAKES HYPOCRITES. Pronhibition Is Not Successful In Towns of Over 20,000. “In no city of 20,000 inhabitants or over has prohibition ever proved a success,” said Robert Ellis Thompson, orofessor of Engiish literature and po- itical economy at the university of Pennsylvania, to a reporter for the Philadelphia Record. “It conduces to cheating and trickery, and makes every man either a hypocrite or a detective of hypocrites, sing a deterioration of the moral tone of the whole com- munity. It is all very well to argue that prohibitiou is necessary, though it will not prohibit, just the same as a law against theft is needful, although it does not absolutely prohibit steulinf. ‘Whenever I shall find in a moderately sized city that the law against stealing has been broken 2,000,000 vimes ic one year, I will agree that the law had i)eu.or be removed from the statue books. The pronibition law was broken 2,000,000 times in a year in Boston, and I take that as sufficient evidence of its impracticability. Unless public opinion stamps a law with its approval, thau law is of little effect, “Comte’s maxim that nothing can be abolished until it is replaced applies ad- mirably to the saloon. Until some other social centre shall have been provided the saloon must continue to attract its thousands. I believe the establishment of cheerful coffee houses, where men could congregate to read, smoke, play games or converse, would do more for the destruction of the saloon {mwer than the most stringent prohibitory meas- ure. The majority of men drink not because they enjoy it but because the, crave sociability, They can find it only in the saloon, and their drinking is merely an ineident. Their homes are unattractive, and they must have some place to spend their evenings. Until society shall furnish a substitute this class of men will not permit the saloon to be destroyed, Legally or il- l.(ully, they will frequent it. “The workings of the Brooks law have been very fbencficial to the city, though there is room for much expan sion and improvement I would abolish the license fee eutirely, as I consider that unimportant, and I would exereise still greator caution in the selection of licenses. I would have the screens re- moved from doors and windows, €0 that the saloon could be plainly viewed from without, and I would have early closing hours. Then, too, I would considerably reduce the number of saloons in the vicinity of the railway stations and pub= lic buildings. “Apart from the ineffectiveness of prohibition, I disbelicve in its prinoi- ple. I consider tobacco almost as groat an evil as whisky, yet it would be folly to suggest its prohibition. There are many abuses connectod with the use of property, and in urging common owner= ship of land the communists make as strong an argument a3 the prohibition= ists. Both are mis' ton in considering that the nbuse of what is in itself harm= less warrants its abolition. Though & heartless landlord may evict his wretched tenants, that fact furnishes no reason why every man should give up his ncreage; nor should the drunks einess of one poor fool give pretext for the banishment of every pint of beer, wine and other liauor.” el TROUSERS FOR WOMEN. Mrs. Celia B. Whit-head Gives Good Reasons For a Change in Femine Attire. Mrs. Colin B, Whitehead is one of the fow women who asscrt, and give no heed to the contradictory evidence, that the only proper raiment for women is “trousers.” She s a thinking woman, and a reading woman moreover, and is continual oming across something in print which looks to be like wretched ignorance of the truth. The last subject on which Mrs. Whitehead has been pathetically discoursing to her friends who furnished her by an ar- ticle condemnatory of woman’s dress, reprin in the World from the Medi= cal annual. In relation to this Mrs. Whitehead suid to & World reporter: I am glad to hear the question at the end of this article, Will any woman be frightened into reason?”’ comments Mrs. Whitehead, *“‘but I fear the answer. ‘Women are heroic in the endurance of pain, because thoy are used to it, but they can not endure what they think is unwomanly. I remember u frail little woman at a water cure who said, with all the firmness of a martyr: ‘If it's the backache or the Bloomer dress, I'll keep the backache.’ A dress whic h tukesinto accountthe fact that women have ‘limbs,” ‘lower Limbs’ as well as ‘upper linbs, and as they are necessary for use 1t cannot be really unwomauly to adapt a dress to them, and their use is the dress that must come before the horrors caused by compressed waists and burdened shoul- ders and fottered legs will be done away, ‘That means trousers!” Oh, does it? Very weil; Idon’t care for names; but we may ridicule and hesitate and squirm and evade and compromise, groan, suf- fer and die as long as we Jike; we may study and invent, only to find at last that a two-legged animal wants a two- legged dress—if any—and that it would be just as absurd to insist on making a coat of one immense sleeve for both upper limbs as to make a dress of one immense skirt for both ‘lower limbs’ and not a whit more so. *I am thankful that the Medical An- nual does not go into a denunciation of tight lacing. It very sensibly says: ‘The one thing that is most objection= able is the formation of an artificial waist. To simply order the removal of stays will be found altogether insuffi- cient, for stays are undoubtedly a pro= tection against the tight ligature of gkirts which accompanies their use.’ The only satisfactory way is to abolish both. But it says another thing not so sensible. ‘Every article of clothing, whether upper or under garments, is to be made in combination, or without di- vision at the waist. The weight of each gavment1s then borne mainly by the shoulders and bust, and no constriction of the waist is necessary.’ “The objectionable portion of this is that there seems to be an intimation that shoulders and bust can stand with impunity any amount of weight. This is a serious error. Any dress reform which does not reduce the weight of the clothing, and at the same time make a dress so adapted to the form that each part shall help to sustain its coverina does not reach the root of the trouble.
