The public, as a rule, hns little apprecia
tion of the extraordinary efforts require)
on the part of newspapers to Rive It prompt
and reliable Information In a great crisis
like that of the shooting of tho president.
Tho ever unsatisfied appetite of tho pen
plo for further details of tho tragedy and
the very latest Information of tho condition
of the wounded chief executive had to bo
fed without regard to expense, time, labor
and money. Almost before tho report of
tho shots fired by the assassin hnd died
away tho wheels wcro In motion to give tho
desired Intelligence to the public, and,
within scarce more time than It takes to do
crlbo It, the newspapers, announcing that
r dread calamity had befallen tho country,
were being reeled off tho presses and dis
tributed near and far to eager patrons.
How this marvelous feat wns accom
plished can best bo explained by describing
tho manner In which a paper lllo Tho Ileo
handled the news from lluffalo and relieved
tho suspense of nil excited people.
President McKlnley was shot In tho
music pavilion on exposition grounds
at lluffalo shortly after 4 o'clock,
eastern time, In tho nftcrnoon. Tho
distance of that building from tho trio
graph and telephone ofllccs and the con
fusion produced by tho unexpected Incident
naturally consumed time In the transmis
sion of reports.
When (lit; l'lr Word Ciiinr.
Tho first Information of tho shooting,
flashed over tho wires by tho Associated
Press, reached Omaha nbout 3:30 In the
afternoon, Just after tho forms had been
closed and the etcreotypcra' work com

afternoon papers.
Notification by telephone put everyono In
tho newspaper office on tho qui vivo and
Immediate, preparations wcro mado to make
Instant and effcctlvo use of tho bulletin as
soon as tho written copy should arrive. In
tho caso of Tho Deo a bungle In tho dellvory

tho Associated Press wnsted several
precious mlnutcei. This Mmc, however, was
more than mado up by expeditious handling
when It reached the office.

hands tho headlines wcro written and being
set up, tho forms rearranged and tho stere

President Roosevelt
Leading" Events
of His Life.
Forty-three years of age, a graduate of
Harvard college at 22, member of the New
York state assembly, 1851-2-3; western
ranchman, 18S1-7, National Civil Service
commission under President Harrison, po
lice commlislouer of New York City, 1S93-6;
attestant secretary of tho navy, 1897;
colonel of tho Hough Riders In the Cuban
war, 1S3S; governor of New York, 1S99-1D00;
Inaugurated vice president of the United
Slates, March 4, 1001; succeeded to the pres
idency, September 14, 1901.
Such, In brief, Is n biography of Hon.
Theodoro Koosovelt, who has become presi
dent of tho United States by reason of
tho death of William McKlnley.
Mr. Hoosovclt was born In New York
City, tho homo of his ancestors for genera
tions, on October 27. 1858. He comw from
tho original Knickerbocker stock on hli
father's side. Ho Is not only an American
"from ,tbo start," but heir to tho char
acter and principles that have made Amer
ica. On tho mother's sldo tho stock Is
about as purely American as tho courso of
history will allow, crossed with a strain
not less tough and even moro aggressive
th.tn thnt of tho father. His mother's
family namt waa Ilulloch, and her home
was Georgia, where her ancestors, coming
from Scotland, settled nlso In tho middle
of tho seventeenth century. Her great
grandfather was the first revolutionary
governor of Georgia, nnd It tella something
of tho family tendency to fight for principle
that Mr. Roosevelt's undo fired tho last
shot from tho Ill-fated Alabama when tho
privateer sank under tho merciless guns of
tho Koorsarge off Cherbourg. With blood
that has been pure American for two cen
turies find a half, nnd that In remoter gen
erations pulsed In, tho stout hearts of Scot
land nnd Holland, Mr. Koosovelt must be
held to bo In physical and moral liber, so
far ns heredity determines, an American.
Ho may, perhaps, be pardoned a half grim,
half whimsical prldo that thero is not a
drop of strictly English blood Jn his veins.
Knterlng Hnrvard college In 187C he pcr
sucd his studies with characteristic vigor.
An exaggerated reputation ns a fighter pre
ceded him nnd caused him no little nnnoy
uncc. Although physically weak Ills heart
was high and his grit Invincible Ho could
not light much, but wns willing to fight for
nil ho knew how. Ho succeeded in holding
his own, physically ns well as mentally,
and graduated with bis class at tho age of
22.
Mr. Itoosevelt passed almost directly from
college to public life. In tho fall of 1881
ho was elected to the state assembly, serv
ing continuously through the sessions of
16S2, 1883 nnd 1884. Indeed, he Joined the
local republican organization ns soon as he
reached home from Harvard, being then In
the first year of his majority, and having
learned early, and with zest, that every
voter owes n duty to the community which
can best be discharged through n party.
When he appeared on the floor of tho as
sembly at Albany, the veterans were greatly
amused. H never occurred to thera that
their cunning could not make short work of
this ridiculously candid nnd open youngster,
who sprang Into their nnclent arena as If
ho f.xpected that fights were to be won
thero and not In the caucus, or tho lobby, or
In remoter and even meaner places. Another
class cf legislators, who also, at first, smiled
nt him, were soon deeply angered by the
boy who Bcemed to care no moro for the
bullies of tho slums than for tho schemers
and the lobbyists. One of them, who had
won what his class regards as honors In
a ring not political, resolved to "down"
him In nn encounter which could easily bo
provoked, nnd where the professional
bruiser would be at less disadvantage than
In debnte. When he learned that tho col
lege athlete was no less prompt nnd rather
moro skillful In the art of self-defenso than
In discussion, he abandoned tbo project.
In 1S84 Mr. Roosovclt Identified himself
with tho antl-Ulalne faction beforo tho
national convention met, but when that
body chose tho republican lender, ho re
fused to follow the mugwumps Into the
democratic tent, nnd manfully supported
tho plumed knight. After the Inaugura
tion of President Horrlson In 1889, Mr.
Itoosevelt wns nppolntcd a member of tho
national civil service commission. Helng
a pronounced civil service reformer, ho
found abundant worlc for his nggresslvc dis
position and caused a vast amount of an
noyanco to congressmen nnd senators In
tho distribution of spoils regardless of law.
Later he served ns police commissioner of
New York City, under Mayor Strong, nnd
succeeded In bringing "tho finest" to a
higher degrco of efficiency than ever bo
fore. With tho ndvent of the republican ad
ministration In 1897, Mr. Itoosevelt becamo
assistant secretary of the navy. He took
his habits of work Into tho Navy depart
ment beforo tho outbreak of hostilities
with Spain. Ho was at his desk promptly
at 9 o'clock In tho morning nnd he left It
at 4 In the afternoon. In tho hours between
ho dlspntchcd nn enormous amount of busi
ness. His clerkB liked him, but ho mado
them labor. Ho asked no one to do any
moro than he did himself, but ho iuslstcd
that all should do their best. Dccnuso of
his zeal and energy much of the red tape
of departmental work was cut to pieces.
Procrastlnatiun went down beforo push and
gctthcreatlvcncss, and this beneficial change
was strikingly manifested In the rcndlnesa
of the navy for business when the tlmo
came. Hut his fighting blood could not
stand a Washington Job while the battle
was on. Ho was bound to get Into the
scrap with Spain and resigned his post
to becomo lieutenant colonel of tho First
regiment of voluuteer cavalry, better known
ns tho Hough Ulders. This regiment was
at onco the most picturesque and most re
raarkablo of the troops Invading Cuba. It
was an aggregation of western cowmen,
hunters and otllclnls thoroughly versed In
border warfare, most of them crack shots
and superb horsemen. Tho lump was lenv
ened with noted college athletes, sons of
wenlthy families and other eastern admirers
of tho pugnacious lloutemtnt. colonel. All
of tho regiment did not get Into tho light
nt Santiago, but It achieved glory enough
for nil. Mr. Itoosevelt was rcwniucd with
tho colonelcy of tho regiment for gallantry
In tho skirmish at I. as Guaslmas, and led
his gallant troops up the heights of San
Juan through a storm of Spanish lead.
The fnmo of San Juan practically made
Colonel Koosovelt governor of New York
nnd paved tho way to his nomination nnd
election ns vlco president. In his homo
circle or In camp there Is no moro delight
ful man to meet than Theodore Itoosevelt.
Ho hns n genuinely flno mind. It la quick,
receptive, responsive, thoroughly well or
dered, disciplined nnd clear. Heading has
made him full. He has teen much and
experienced much. He hns learned a great
deal from books and moro from men. Ho
talks well nnd listens better. Ho has n
strong appreciation of humor. He likes n
good story, but not n good bad story. His
manners aro unaffected, direct and cordial
Ho Is wholly American, believing thnt
America Is the best country In tho world,
Amerlcnns nro tho best people In tho world
and American soldiers nro tho best sol
diers in tho woild. Ho has a largo scneo
of his own worth, but this Is not offen
sively prominent. Jlo hns strong views,
but docs not forco them upon othors. Ho
Is devoted to his wife nnd six children
nnd his homo is nn exceptionally happy
one. This home is a largo country man

ana enormous chimneys. It rests like a

From tho moment of the receipt of tho

the mechanical departments of Tho Hcc.

flrst extrn giving tho baro nowH o tho at

Ileforo the sun rose the next morning eight

Tho Hco had proparcd nn elaborate, expen

Its lino hnlf-tonn engravings and superior
paper, can bo printed only on rovcroo hand
fed Job presses, nnd it was Impossible to
Incrcnso tho supply within tho limited time
at disposal. This extraordinary demand for
Tho Sunday Ileo In excess of tho available
supply of tho Illustrated papers mado it
necessary to send out thousands of copies
of tho news section of tho paper without

with it.
It is safe to say that no other paper be

Seldom in the history of the nowspapor

suddenly as that of tho shooting of Presi

1871, stx years after the assassination of
President Lincoln, nnd of courso was not
called on to cover that all-absorbing event.
Its only previous expertenco of similar

of President Garfield in 1881. Thb attempt

It Is worthy of note In pnsslng, In connec

nt 63,500,000 bushels, whllo tho yield last
year was, according to tho government re
ports, 143,050,317 bushels. In computing
tho estlmnted returns tho labor commis
sioner assumes that corn will sell this year
for 40 cents per bushel. Tho total revonuo
for Inst year was figured on a rato of 30
cents por bushel.
