THE OMAHA DAILY BEE UNDAY, SEPI WHEN WKINLEY WAS SHOT How the News of the Assanlt Was Given to the Public LIVELY SCENES AROUND THE BEE OFFICE Superh Mechanieal the Pablieation aands Wounl Faellit of W Ahend of Papers Je Competitors, The public, as a rule, has 1 tion of the extraordinary on the part of newspapers and reliable information in & great crisis lke that of the shooting of the president. | The ever unsatisfied appetite of the peo- | ple for further details of the tragedy the very latest information of the condi of the wounded chief executive h fed without rej d to expens and money.

When the The first information flashed over the wires by the Press, reached Omaha ahout afternoon, just after the closed and the etcreotypers’ pleted ior the rast afternoon papers Notification by telephone put everyone in the mewspaper office on the qui vive and fmmediate preparations were made to make fnstant and effective use of the bulletin as | ®00n as the written copy should arrive. In the case of The Bee a bungle in the delivery on the part of the local representatives of the Associated Press wasted several preclous minutes.

Indeed, he joined the local republican organization as soon as he reached home from Harvard, being then in the first year of his majority, and having leardad early, and with zeat, that every voter owes a duty to the community which can best be discharged through a party When he appeared on the floor of the as- sembly at Albany, the veterans were greatly amused. It never occurred to them that their cunning could not make short work of this ridiculously candid and open youngster who &prang into their ancient arena as if he cxpected that fights were won there and not in the caucus, or the lobby, or in remater and even meaner places. Another class of legislators, who also, at first, smiled at him, were soon deeply angered by the boy who seemed to care no more for the bullies of the slums than for the schemers and the lobbylsts. One of them, who had won what his class regards as honors in a ring not political, resolved to “down" him in an encounter which could easily be provoked, and where the professional bruiser would be at less disadvantage than in debate. When he learned that the col- lege athlote was no less prompt and rather more skillful in the art of self-defense than in discussion, he abandoned the project. In 1884 Mr. Roosevelt identified with the anti-Blaine faction before the national convention met, but when that body chose the republican leader, he re- fused to follow the mugwumps into the democratic tent, and manfully supported the plumed knight. After the inaugura- tlon of President Horrison in 1850, Mr. Roosevelt was appointed a member of the national civil service commission. Being a prorounced civil service reformer, he found abundant work for his aggressive dis position and caused a vast'amount of an- noyance to congressmen and senators in the distribution of spofls regardless of law. Later he served as police commissioner of New York City, under Mayor Strong, and succeeded in bringing “the finest” to a higher degree of efficiency than ever be- fore. to be himself With the advent of the republican ad- ministration in 1897, Mr. Roosevelt became assistant secretary of the navy. He took his habits of work into the Navy depart- ment before the outbreai of hostilities with Spain. He was at his desk promptly at 9 o'clock in the morning and he left it at 4 in the afternoon. In the hours between he dispatched an enormous aisount of busi- 3. Hie clerks liked him, but he made them labor. He asked no one to do any more than he did himself, but he insisted that all should do their best.

It is sate to say that no other paper be- |tween Chicago and Denver proved equal to the emergency in the same degree that did The Bee, and its response would have been impossible but for its unequaled mechanical facilities, 8o far superior to those of its various competitors. Seldom in the history of the mewspaper had eo great an emergency to be met suddenly as that of the shooting of Pres! dent McKinley. The Bee was founded In 1871, slx years after the assassination of President Lincoln, and of course was not called on to cover that all-absorbing event. Ite only previous experlence of similar scope was at the time of the assassination of President Garfield in 1881. The attempt on President Garfleld's life was made in the rallway etation at Washington about 10 o'clock Saturday morning and The Bee was promptly to the fore with an extra containing all the available news. Extra of Twenty Years Ago. The Bee's extra on the Garfield assassl- nation, which Is reproduced in miniature, was a little three-column handbill printed only on one slde, as at that time the selt- feeding and perfecting press, with its rapid impressions, was not yet in use. The news of the sad occurrence was more fully cov- ered in the regular afternoon editions of The Bee at that time and in still further detail in its Monday morning issue, as the Sunday Bee had not yet been inaugurated. 1t is worthy of note in passing, in connec- tion with the attempt on the life of Prest- dent McKimey, that while The Bee stood ready to spread the news of any untoward turn, {t carefully refrained from desecrating the Sabbath with unnccessary extras, leav- ing that to so-called competitors who make speclal pretense to Sabbatarian goodness. As on all other occasions, The Bee ha: aimed to give the public the first and most accurate information at every stage, with- out imposing upon its patrons with fake extras or editions not warranted by the intelligence at hand.

TO MARRY THE CROWN PRINCE Efforts of Kalser e Color to Love Story About American Girl, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, Sept. 14.—(New York World Ca- blegram — Special Telegram.)—The un- doubted anxiety of the kaiser to get the crown prince married oft gives color to the report prevalent here that while staying at Bona the young fellow fell desperately in love with an American girl he met at a lit- tle Rhine village where he was fond of g ing with fellow studenta. The crown prince’s sudden visit to Eng- land was, it is said, intended to break him off from the attachment, and the kaiser is now busily engaged casting round Europe for a suitable flancee for him.

VALUE OF SIXTY-THREE MILLION BUSH:LS This is About Fifty Per Cent of Year's Returns—Republican Ex- ecutive Committee In Named. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 14.—(Special.)—A state- ment was given out by the State Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics today in which it is estimated* that the net return of the corn crop in Nebraska this year will be approximately $25,400,000, as agalost $43,005.10 last year. The figures are based on the assessors’ returns from every county in the state. The total yield is estimated at 63,500,000 bushels, while the yield last year was, according to the government re- ports, 14 317 bushels. In computing the estimated returns the labor commis- sloner assumes that corn will sell this year for 40 cents per bushel. The total revenue for last year was figured on a rate of 30 cents per bushel. It 1s noted from the report that the wheat acreage has increased in the South Platte territory, while it has decreased in the North Platte district. The winter wheat acreage exceeded the spring wheat acreage by over 400,000 acres. By way of comparison it is shown that in 1900 Minnesota ralsed 31,000,000 bushels of corn; Wisconsin, 49,000,000 bushels: Michi- gan, 58,000,000 bushels, and South Dakot 32,000 bushels.
