Business Manager of Omaba
Bee Talks to Young
Men.
"THE MAKING OF A
BIG NEWSPAPER.'
Subject of a Very Interesting Talk
of Over an Hour and a Half.
Mr. C. C. Rosewatcr, business
manager of the Omaha Bee delivered
a very interesting lecture to the mem
bers of the Young Men's Bible Class
of the M. E. Sunday School, Mon
day at their room in the basement of
the church. Mr. Roscwatcr's talk
was on the subject of making a news
paper, and the speaker began with'
the paper material itself and discussed
every phase of the business. He
referred to the old time grade of paper
made for our grand fathers, -from
rags, which he said would not compare
.:. .i i- i i
yitn tnc paper maue now, which was
4uanufactured from wood. The wood
. ,1 .
necessary lor inc matting oi paper
must be of a fibrous nature, and was
chemically treated to soften it into
pulp from which the white paper was
pressed or rolled, from.' The ordinary
print paper costs about 3 cents per
pound, and the paper bill alone on
the ordinary daily Is a big item in
the year, the bill-of thence for a year
running up to SI 00,000. 00. The
next item of expense being the ink
which was mobtly made from lamp
black. Then the labor of producing
the paper which all figured Into the
expense account of making a paper..
The speaker next described the
machinery required to produce the
newspaper, after the material and
workmanship had been gotten into
,hape. Ho described the original
press used decades ago, any the
modern rotary press of Ue present
time, the rotary motion having been
obtained to increase the speed of the
press. The modern daily made in the
larger cities, comes off of the press
at an almost incredible number per
hour. The print paper for the larger
dalies like the Bee and larger papers
comes in rools. One of these rolls
is started in to the rotary press which
at ono point prints one side of the
paper, then passes on to amthcr
where the other side is printed.
The roll is then passed into the folder
which folds and cuts and pastes the
papers and passes the completed
newspaper into the box from which
distribution is made to the subscriber.
Mr. Rosewatcr then discussed the
branches u the work which were;

required, the business department,
which was no small item in a success
ful plant. The bookkeeping was
no small item, as each subscriber
necessitated the opening of a seperate
ledger account, if there were ten
thousand subscribers there were ten
thousand ledger accounts to be kept
track of. There was the "editorial
branch of the work which furnished
opinions of the paper, and controled
the policy of the paper, this was
probably the most important feature
of every large paper, and required
skilled writers to bring forth the work
then the force of individuals, which
has a man detailed for his own individ
ual run. It was the city editors duty
to keep tab on the reporters and in
case any event occurred out of the
ordinary to detail a man to get the
news of the event. Mr. Rosewatcr
discussed the money side of the busi
ness, stating that the subscriber
list would not pay for the white paper
but that it was necessary to have
the subscribers to make the advertis
ing in the paper marketable, that
the money to pay the running expenses
was derived from the advertismcnts
in the paper.
One phase of the business mentioned
by the speaker was the attitude of
the public toward the press, many
being of the opinion that the busi
ness was debtor to society in the
community where the paper exists
athcr than the public being
debtor to the newspaper. Tlio
speaker thought that every com
munity was rendered better by a
newspaper being run in it, and that
the people were brought closer to
gether by that means than any other.
The lecture was well received, by the
young men and all will be glad to
hear Mr. Rosewatcr again.. Mr.
Rosewatcr departed on the night
train for Omaha.
BURLINGTON SEWER
NOWfcOMPLETE.
Twenty Four Men Worked Five
and a Half Months on Job.
K. W. Savgren and his force of men
who have been employed for the
past five and a half months con
structing the big sewer across the
Burlington yards to connect with the
large storm water city sewer, com
pleted their work today. The con
creting was done Friday evening,
and the filling in process has been
carried on since. Some idea of the
expenditure on the part of the com
pany can be had when one is informed
that 320 yards of rc-enforced concrete
has been laid by the men and the
work has been pushed with all speed
possible to get the concrete in before the
frost comes out of the ground, as tho
bank would cave off badly from the
softening of the earth, the sewer
has been made to last forever and a
day. Foundation pilings were driven
every four feet and on these the 147 feet
of concrete sewer. 8 by 7 feet con

MERRILY WEDDING BELLS
RING AT WEEPING WATER
The Home of Mr. and Mrs.
of a Happy
LARGE NUMBER OF RELATIVES
AND. FRIENDS JOIN CONGRATULATIONS
Miss Laura Domingo and Mr. Homer Johnson United
in the Bonds of Wedlock.
On Wednesday evening February
23, Miss Laura Domingo and
Mr. Homer Jameson were united
in marriage at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Domingo
three miles north east of Weeping
Water, in the presence of nearly
100 friends and relatives.
Promptly at eight oelock Miss
Verna Ward sang sweetly, "I love
you truly." Following this the bridal
party, led by Rev Andress pastor
of the Congregational church of Weep
ing Water entered to the strains of
Lohengrcns Bridal March, played
jy Miss Maggie Johnson. 1 he bride
was attended by Miss Ellenora Domin
go who acted as brides maid and the
groom by ill Jameson as best man.
The ceremony was performed under
a white arch daintily covered with
8inilax. Rev. Andress in his char-
actistic pleasant and impressive style
spoke the vows which united these
young people after the congratulations
and best wishes had been offered
by all present, the guests withdrew
to the dining room where refreshments
were served in two courses by several
young ladies. s
The tables were decorated with
fern leaves,the bride's table, in the
north room had in the center a large
ase filled with pink roses and small
tables in the dining room each had a
pany not less than $5000.00 and the
material about $3000.00 making an
investment for the railway company
of $8000.00 which adds to the value
of their plant to that extent. This
is an improvement the company
had planned for sometime and will
greatly facilitate the escape of the
storm water from the avenues, as the
sewer just completed takes the place
of two smaller ones lying side by side
extending from the end of the city s
large sewer to the bottom east. For
merly the trash would accumulate
where the sewer, forked and cause
stoppage of flow and over flow at the
upper end of the big sweer. This
trouble will be averted now and the
new improvement by the railway
company will be much appreciated
by the residents of Plattsmouth.

amusement of a score or more of
byslanders, when the timber broke
at a knot in the stick and precipi
tated the young man to the ground,
inflicting serious injuries.
He lighted on his hip and the sud
den shock caused the boy to become
unconcious Jor a briof time. The
bystanders picked him up and laid
him on a flat car and sent for Dr.
J. S. Livingston, before the Df.
arrived ' he had revived somewhat,
but again fainted away wh'lo the
Dr. was examining him. No bones
were broken, but the young man was
badly bruised, he was taken to his
home where he was made as comfort
able as possible.
