After an Investigation of the fire at po- lice station Friday evening, which was sup- posed to have had its origin in the ex- plosiori of the steam car used as police ambilance, Willlam Drummond said that the car Is in no way responsible for the blaze. ISvery part of the steamer, except such as were burned, is in perfect tact. The gas tank, which was at first thought to be destroyed by explosion, Is not dis- turbed. No part of the car has given way and the machinery s s valuable as it ever was. “l am sure that the car was not respon- sible for the fire and I have taken the pre- caution to ask the factory to send out a maghinist that the whole thing might be thofoughly Investigated,” says Mr. Drum- mond, . "‘Fred Bausenek, the\ unfortunate chauffeur who was 8o ‘serlously burned, tells ‘me that no pilot light was burning on the car at the time of the fié, which might have started the blaze. He had taken the precaution to turn the lght off before he began the tes.. The chauffeur was testing the gasoline with a glass In- strament which he had just purchased. He had started to drain the gas tank and had unscrewed the lower plug and had per- haps five to ten the paill. Much of this had spilled and run out over the floor. It was this which ig- nitgd with the gas flame usually burned in the stable and it was this which caused the fire. He had laid a pres-to-lite gas tank to one side, which the extreme heat exploded, but it was in no way connected with the car and was nowhers about it. “As a matter of fact, I have never heard of one of these tanks blowing up. 1 have known of White Steamers going througi fires just as this ambulance did and just a8 the Goodrich White Steamer did over in Council Blufts some time ago, neither of which suffered, and they invarlably come cut intact. They are wonderfully constructed, and especially to withstand such attacks as this. The White Steamer had few parts and no intricate machinery to get out of order, and the services of an expert machinist is not at all neces- eary to operate the car. Only the ehauf- feur should be careful, as all chauffeurs should be.” CITY HALL JOKER AT WORK Query Regarded as Impertinent is Written n Many Office Cards, Officials In the city hall have been made to utter angry words on various occa- slons recently by the act of some practic joker.

PUTATIVE CITY EMPLOYES IDLE Appointe Street of City Commission. Engineer a Confirmed by Counell, but Ca Get Work. A peculiar state of dissatisfaction exists among the groups of men whose names have been sent In to the ity council by the city engineer and street commissioner and confirmed by that body. Many of them have had little or no work and can- not be assured of any before next season. their employes must be confirmed by coun- cil, and it is impossible to wait until the hour men are wanted before appointing them. The result of this system Is that both the engineer and street commissioner have sent in lists and had the men con- firmed by council when in reality there was no certalnty of any work for them, and a far away possibility of steady em ployment. are laborers, inspedtors, feremen and others carried, who live in expectancy—and the hope long deferred is making them sick Some men named for the positions went 80 far, on prospects, as to throw up other poeitions, and now find themselves hang- Ing around waiting for something to turn up. ‘““We are doing the Micawber stunt with & vengeance,” sald one putative inspector, “but very unwillingly.” Ofticials Powerless. Street Commissioner Flynn views the sit- does the city engineer, but neither man draws any sausfaction from existing con ditions. “Every Monday morning, from about 6:4 to 7:3, no one has a word to say against me as street commissioner,” says Flynn “The men who want work in this depart- ment show up at the city tool house bright and early every Monday, but there {s no possibility of putting even a fair propor- tion at work, because of the slim fund we have to draw on. So those that are left out become harsh critics at once. We are powerless to change the situation, how- ever, which fact doesn't cut much figure with & man who really wants to work. The city pays 2 cents an hour for laborers, which keeps a great many more looking for jobs than can possibly be employed Having been confirmed by the city coun- eil, it is hard for some to understand why they are not at once employed. We have the work to do, and could keep a great many more busy than we do, yet we are unable to do so0, and cannot possibly do better than we are doing at present until after the first of the year, at the very earilest.” Goat Owner Gets Hamstrung Enough Finally Awakens to Coincident of Boys’ Presence and Goat's Sudden Departure. Not again will Joe Mandorf, 421 Pierce street, put up a reward for his Billy goat that has a penchafit for straying away and getting found after its owner hag offered & snug sum of money to a crowd\of boys who habftually happen around a little after Willlam's departures “I can't count the numbs of times this goat has suddenly got lost and the number of times that these boys have come around to ask If I will give them anything for finding my goat and of the goat's sudden recovery,” said Mr. Mondorf ta the police. | “He always gets lost in the morning and | found in the evening.

The particular demand existing at that time was the desire of the people of Lon- don to obtain news of the campaigns being waged on the continent by the duke of Mariborough, for In the goosd year 1709 Fu- rope was bleeding in the war of the Span- ish succession. The hisiory of dally news- papers from that day until this is the hie- | tory of the world, but there is a particular trade history which is of interest even to those not engaged in journalism. The United States and Canada now boast 2,500 daily journals and the rest of the world has about as many. There are {%0.000 newspapers and other periodicals in |the world, 23,000 of which are published In the United States and Canada. More than | half of all the perfodicals In the world ap- pear in the English language. The devel- opment of modern journalism has been the peculiar mission of the English and Amer- fean nations. Tt Is fitting, therefore, that London should have the honor of being the birthplace of the dally newspaper and that |1t should now be the home of the most powerful of all dally journals; while the United States surpasses all other countries in the versatllity, scope and prosperity of its press. The newspaper, however, is an Itallan invention. Leaving aside the Chinese an- tiquities and reckoning only the western world, the first mewspaper editor was Julius Caesar. The great Roman 414 not possess the facllities of the twentleth cen- tury, but he had the soul of a press agent He used the dead walls of Rome to display bulletins of the news—news carefully col- ored to sult the poltical desires of J. Cae- sar. If this early effort at publicity be barred, still the Italians have the claim to the first newspaper. In the latter part of the sixteenth century the first regular pub- lication of a bulletin containing informa- tion for the publlc was undertaken in Venice. These bulletins were not printed, but were written on large sheets and dis- played in a public room. They were called “gagetta,” from which comes the English newspaper title “Gazette The popular clamor for news of the war between the Venetians and the Turks was the “leng- felt want” supplled by the appearance of theme ‘“‘gazetta’” The files of sixty years of it Issues are preserved In & museum in Florence. The first printed paper was the “Bnglish Mereuris,” & religious publication which appeared In London in 155, The earlfest real newspaper was the Londen Weekly News, born in 1619. For ninety vears the | London press led a varied existence, mere | than 200 newspapers being started only to perish In early failure. But in the fullnsss | of time several weeklles were firmly es- | tablished, and there were seven thrice. weeek fournals in England when “The Dally Courant” made its bow to the pub- lic in the autumn of 1709. The first newepaper venture in Amerlca was a tragie faflure. Mr. Richard Plerce of Boston in 160 began the publieation of “Publick Oceurances.” He declared in his salutatory that there were too many un- founded and baseless rumors floating about Boston, and that the mission of his paper was to record them and then trace them to thelr source. Mr. Plerce appears to be entitled to the honor of being the first journalistic muckraker. But those were cruel times, and the legislature suppressed the Sheet after its tirst issue, solemnly de- claring it to be “a pamphlet which came out contrary to law and contained reflec- tions of & very high nature.” A generation later Bénjamin Franklin contided to his mother his intention to start a newspaper. The worthy woman exclaimed: “What can you be thinking of, there are two newspapers In Ameria The successor of the paper which Franklin aid establish now has the largest circula- tion of any weekly publicatien in the world —more than a million and a quarter a week The first dafly newspaper In the United States. The American Dally Advertiser, appeared in Philadelphia In 178, three years after England had acknowledged the Independence of the states and five vears before the beginning of the government under the constitution. The New YorR Daily Advertiser followed In 178, and in 178 the Pittsburg Gaszette began its | present prosperous career. The United States now has eighty-five newspapers more than a hundred vears old, and In this respect, at least, America is quite as old and quite as mature as its | Buropean sisters. Many of the eighty-five members of the “Newspaper Century club" are still weeklies. but most of them, week- | lies In 1809 are now dailles. The Baltimore American, the Philadelphia North Ameri- | can and the Charleston News and Courier |are the most venerable. | now!" As a matter of fact there were five, | but three of them were so far away that | Mre. Franklin had net heard of them. | A Notable Bicentennial, The majority of the century-old publica tions are In the eastern states, of course, Pennsylvania heading the list with nine- teen, followed by New York with fifteen. Strangely enough, Ohlo comes next with nine, and then Massachusetts with seven The St. Louts Repubiic, 101 years old, Is the only one west of the Mississippi river. The first newspaper west of ihe Alleghenies was the “Kentucke Gazette” of Lexington, founded In 1787, and which still fourishes The growth of the newspaper business Wwas 80 great that by 180 the United States, with 13,000,000 population, had more news- papers than all Europe, with 180,000,000 people. The American record has been maintained and the United States still has more newspapers than all Europe, and un- til the of the newspaper in Asla, it had more than all the rest of the world The New York Herald, founded by James Gbrdon Bennett In 153, was the first of the modern school of newspapers. In De. cember York destroyed property worth $20,000,000. Mr. Bennett wrote a report of the fire, with “human Interest” embellishments. The people were astounded, and the story w"u repeated in the Herald the second day’in response to popular demand. Before that time newspapers had devoted practically all thelr attention to polities and political news, and to news from other cities. Loca! news was lgnored. 1f a fire occurred, It was supposed that everybody knew about it already, and that it would be silly to print anything about it. That attitude to- ward local news is responsible for the fact that the first voyage of Robert Fulton's “Clermont” was considered to be worth only seven lines in the New York Evening Post, and not that until after an advertise- ment of the rates of passage to Albany was In the great fire, and made the great discov- ery that the people who see a thing are the very peopls who most want to read about it. He made another discovery at the same time, that “human interest” Is quite as much a feature of the news as Is “importance.” In England The Times became supreme in the journalistic field in the latter part of the eighteenth century. In 1807 The Times sent a special correspondent to the continent to report the Napoleonic wars. Before that time the newspapers had de- pended altogether upon official sources for news. Within a year The Times demon- strated the usefuliness of the special cor- respondent by furnishing important news to the government days in advance of the official despatches. From that day until this the spectal correspondent has been an Increasingly important factor in Interna- tional affairs, and The Times has oc- cupled a position of commanding Influence in pelitical journalism. But the English idea, as exemplitied in The Times, had to fall before the more catholic Ameriean ldea, and the English hewspapers of the largest circulation do not fafl to realize the im- portance of “human interest.” These beginnings of the newspaper busi- ness were small and insignificant compared with the jeurnslism of today. The inven- tion of the locomotive and the telegraph, each in turn, aided enormously in the development of the press. But the civil war of America was the most potent factor in the evolution of the newspaper of to- day. During that confliet the American newspapers began the use of the tele- &raph for gathering news, they lllustrated their despatches with drawings and maps, and they learned how to write head-lines and turn out extras. The next great event in the development of the American press was the Spanish- American war. It wasn't much of war, as we see it now, but it seemed to be the blggest thing in the world just then, And the newspapers did seemingly impos- sible things every day, which they have continued to do every day since. The close of the war didn't end the war journalism at all. For the past decade there has been little change in American newspapers ex- cept that they have shared in the won- derful growth of the natlon. If Mr. Bennett in 1840, when his paper was five years old and & prosperous sheet, with the facllities he than possessed, had undertaken to publish the Sunday Herald as it appeared last week his presses would be running yet and the edition would not be finished. Things progress rapidiy In these days—in fact there has been more progress in the newspaper business in the last twenty years than there was in the preceding 180 years since the birth of the first daily newspaper. What wonders will be developed in the next century no man may say. It appears that war has a most potent influence upon journallsm. 1f there shall be a great war in Europe what then? What with aeroplanes having wire- less apparatus attached, with dirigible bal- loons, with wireless telephones and with things not now unfolded to the gaze of man, it 1s a safe wager that the news- papers would set a new mark for them selves and fill every “long-felt want.” By FPREDERICK J.

BOYS ABUSE PEDDLERS WITH BRICKS AND ARE TAKEN UP Youngsters Assail Men Without C: and Leave Bad Scar on at Least Ome. | Long practice by a gang of boys at Eighteenth and Vinton streets n throwing bricks and stones at peddlers has resulted In two things—marked accuracy of aim and a vigorous determination by authori- tles to break up the practice. As a pre- liminary step, Floyd Baxter, 2412 South Twelfth street, and Herman Gernendt, Twelfth and Castellar, are in'the Detention school awaiting hearing before the juvenile court. Another result of the practice ia that Meier Goldman, a peddler, wears an inch-long scar on his forehead, left after he emerged from a hospital stay. More feeling was shown in juvenile court over the cases of these boys and that of Walter Pates, all members of a gang which frequents the Vinton street corner, than anything else in & long time, because the boys admitted the peddlers have not bothered them and that the rock throwing is through racial prejudice. Judge Estelle, in discussing the matter, called to mind the shooting dead of a boy at exactly the same corner by an abused peddier some years ago. The Pates boy, at the pleading of his mother, was given another chance.

Building at Twelfth and Farnam for Something Less Than $300,000. ° The National Fidelity & Casualty com- pany hds practically concluded a deal for the purchase of the Peck buflding at the southwest corner of Twelfth and Farnam streets, formerly occupled by the United States Nutlonal bank. The Midelity com- | pany has secured an option, and while the deed has not been signed, the deal Is a cer- tainty. The consideration has not been given out. When the Peck estate of Chicago got the property a few years ago on a '‘trade-in" it was put down at $300,000. Whether or not this was large it ‘is known to be far higher than the price which thie Fidelity company will pay. It is the intention of the purchaser to spend §25,000 to $30,000 in thoroughly re- modeling the inner structure of the bulld- Ing, which {s 66x132 feet, and Is five stories in helght, of solid granite construction. The National Fidelity & Casualty com- pany was the first surety and casualty company of Nebraska. It has has a pald cap- ital of $100.000 and recently decided to in- crease this to $260,000 in order that it might extend its operations to other states.
