r i OMAJJA DALbj' JBKJB MONDAY OCTOBER , C > 1884 IPS A VENERABLE RUIN. Demolition of tbc Old Priming Office 'on ibirlecntli and Douglas , Historic Reminiscences of "Writers nnd 1'rlntcrR Who M do It Fa- moils Tor Over n Quar ter of A Century. The tiotod old building on the south- teast corner of Thirteenth nnd Douglas streets has boon leveled to the ground , to make way for a more imposing pllo of brick and stone. For moro than a quarter of a century it haa boon the magnet around which has clustered many of the brightest writers in the west and scores of printers who there laid the foundations of fame aud fortune. Constructed ns n printing oflico in 1857 , it perished as one in 1884 , Jt was the cradle of the Nebraskan nnd the Elornld nnd the nursery of the reju venated Republican. Every inch of the building proclaimed in indolliblo spots its usefulness. The floors nnd walla bore silent evidence of the "art preservative" aud the coiling yawned tor nn introduc tion to a vrhituwash brush. Ita demoli tion waa a stroke of economy aa well as n necessity and its reconstruction will greatly improve the appearance of the neighborhood. TUB BUILDINO WAS CONSTKUCTED in ' 57 by W.W.Wyman , who is given the credit of being the first regularly appoint ed postmaster of the city. Mr. Wyman published the Weekly Times , a demo cratic paper , nt that time and the build- lug was planned for a printing oflico , the wiudowa being numerous for light and ventilation. The basement was arranged for the accommodation of steam presses , but n dozen years passed before steam power was put in the building and then by ether parties. Failing health forced Mm to abandon journalism and ho sold the oflico to tha Nebraskan which was moved from Bellevue to Omaha by M. H. Clarke. _ The Nebraskan - braskan continued under different pro prietors , as a weekly , tri-weekiy , and some times dailytill the close of the war. Arthur N. Ferguson was apprenticed in the Nebraskan oflico nt Bellovup after the death of his father , Chief Justice Fergu son , in 1859. Ho remained in the oflico after it moved to thia city till 1802 , and graduated aa "high roller" of a Washing ton hand press. Mr. Chas. Goodrich did some tall typo-sotting in the NebrasKan oflico. Ono of the chief amusements of the gang in these days was to run for the river when a steamboat whistle waa heard and INTERVIEW TUB 1'UBSEll aa to the spiritual character of the cargo. Mr. Harry Haskcll , the present foreman of TUB HKK set his first stickful in town in that building in 18G2 , Ho took a tour of the west aa far aa Montana and soon re- iurnod to his first lovo'content to make or break with the ntick and rule. Mr. Me- Cheano , another veteran gtypo , who mot with a violent death while attempting to arrest a desperado in 1870 , circulated between the Nobraakan and the Republi can oflicoa , and retired from the business at the close of the war. Congressman Valentine , of the Third district , frequent ly act 'em up in that building and be tween that and the Republican got his first start on the road to fortune. Vol. took his turn kicking the press in the llepublican office and his long shins were frequently ekinncd between the tredlo and tympan. The Nobraakan collapsed in 1805 , soon after the death of Robert Wi son , ono of the publishers , and Clarke , \ his partner , returned to Michigan. TIIE HERALD first saw light in that building just nineteen years ago this October. It was n sic column folio. Dan Carpenter originated - atod the idea of a democratic daily after the collapse of the Nobraakan. After Boveral interviews he induced Dr. Miller to give up the medical profession and go in with him. Their combined capital approached preached $3,000. The typo and a Washington - ington hand presa were brought from Cincinnati by river , and the first edition printed without a subscriber. This cool reception waa not the fault of the propri etors. They had an agent ( who is nowa _ iloriat in thia city ) out for several days in advance drumming the town for sub scribers , but the outhusiasm of the dotn- ocrats was so great that they filled him with their favorite beverage- and laid him out before ho could reach the oflico with the Hat. The Herald made money al most from the start , and in a little ever a year they discarded the Washington press and put in n Taylor cylinder , the first in the building. Carpenter remained a member of the firm for three years and then sold out to Mr. Lyman Richardson , ono of the present firm. Dan Van Nostrand , of this city , waa THE FIRST REPORTER ON TUB 1'Al'ER. Ho was succeeded by F. M. MoDonagh the present proprietor of the Nebraska Wntohrnan in this city. "Littlo Mac" was then in his prime , and although the paper had been increased two columns in size ho filled from four to six columns a day in his own inimitable stylo. His sharp , crisp , condensed method of record ing events made the paper brlstlo with lifo and vigor. Omaha waa then a great uovrs center. The building of the Pacific railroads , and the great rush of people to Western Iowa , Nebraska and the west made this city the supply depot and outfitting point. Aa a , consequence the town grow rapidly in importance. Everything transpiring within a radius of ono hundred miles or moro waa consid ; ered strictly "local" news , and naturally packed the columns of the paper nvory day. liotwepn Mao and Miller the Herald was a journalistic buzz-saw. ut times changed and Mao nnd illor drifted apart. Charley Collins took hold when McDonagh departed and kept his rebelli ous disposition within bounds eng i enough to earn u stake for : A PAPER OF HIS OWN. Hia varied career is familiar to every nowspapar man on both sidoa of the Missouri , that the details nro needless I hero. hero.Mr. Mr. Richardson frequently took n notebook in hand or u scissors to help out. And ho ia no amateur at the busi ness , either. As an editorial joker he in Immense , but his great weakness is glowing puffe of a phat advertiser. Frank Streamer , a noted descriptive writer who once referred to the Rocky mountain aa "tho everlasting hills , " waa ono of the early reporters on the paper. Ho drifted west in 1870 aud is no tv lo cated in Oregon. George Thorno waa city editor of the Herald in 'C0-70 ' , and it can bo truly flaid of him that he had no superior and few equals as a iiowegatherer and writer iu hia day. A man of general education , nnd a ( graceful , llttont writer , ho filled the Herald with the lively and varied news of thrsa tiays and made it superior to the Herald of to-day , It was no uncom mon thing for him to fill six or plght long columns of the paper , sot in solid brevier and nonpareil , In a day , and if f < icte could not bo stretched to the required length , fiction filled the vacancy. Thorno was addicted to liquor which soon got the host of him , Incapacitating him for work , nud ho died in n little groggory near the court house. A man named Campbell , from Chicago , followed Thorno , and ho became known among the fraternity M "rilK OUKAT ESPOUSED , " from the fact that ho exhibited n number of endorsements from eastern publishers , Uo sported n cano and n high-crown derby tipped back to display n largo fora- head and a solitary curl basking on its shining surface ; n Seymour coat , white vest nnd swell pantaloons completed n toilet that attracted much attention. Campbell was n witty , vigorous writer , ana made the Herald boom for n few wooks. Uo soon foil a prey to the weak ness of the profession. The spirit was in him , but it vraa distilled corn juice , and the vilest kind that mortal ever drank. Uo kept it bottled under his table every night , and had ho not boon iiroc. out early in his career , the bottled lightning would have ruined the innocents in the shop. Campbell came in ns the first genuine dude in the tonn and went out n saturat ed wreck. Another reporter , whoso name is for gotten owing to the brevity of his career , come here from Philadelphia nnd took n a position on the Herald. Ho attempted to fill Dr. Miller's chair during n tempo rary absence , nnd distinguished himself by changing the politics of the papor. Ho also Introduced "slug heads" on the paper nnd disappeared. "Shang" Andrewstho brilliantjnnd no torious Shang , succeeded Campbell , coming from the Republican to the Her ald. Ho mndo his entree into Omaha journalism as city editor of the Republi can nnd distinguished himself nt the outsat by A.011AND AND CLEVER "SCOOI1" on the Herald. The Humboldt centennial nial anniversary was colebrntcd hero by a grand banquet in which nil prominent citizens participated. It was agreed that the copy of the addresses of the principal speakers should bo given to the Jiopubll- can on condition that proof-sheets would bo furnished the Herald by ton o'clock. Shang took charge of the copy. It was put in typo Into nt night and delayed under various pretexts until four o'clock next morning , when ho sent ever to the Herald copy for four solid columns. It was a deliberate scoop. The Herald came out that morning with n painful , aching void while the Republican was crammed with the praises of the great explorer. Shang was n rustler on wheels. There was just enough border outlawry and va riety show lifo in town to make him feel nt homo , nnd ho "dished up" the sensa tions of the day with n vigor end freedom thnt made the Horold the rccognizad organ of the sports. His career was shortlived howovor. The budding aria tocracy of the town turned up its uoso and pretended to fool insulted that the great religious daily should ignore them and devote columns to the doings of the Canada Bills and other moral outcasts. Shang returned to his old haunts in Chicago cage nnd is living on" the same elements thero. "Phocion" Howard , the noted and er ratic correspondent , occupied an eight by ton room there along in 1870. Ho was telegraph editor and proof reader nnd slept on the mailing clerk's tablo. He yrna THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED KICKER in the establishment , but his nuthority was confined strictly to "bossing the cub. " Among the many accomplish ments of which Phocion boasted was the science of the "manly art. " This ho fre quently impressed upon the subordinates of the office , particularly the cub. On one occasion , a bitter cold night , the cub rebelled "Phocion" against and in vited him to go to that climate where winters are unknown. The printers , whoso regard for Phocion was infinitely small , urged on the cub , nnd nn exchange of nngry words followed , during which Howard dubbed the printers a gang of dogs without podigroos. This was n sig nal for a walkout into Howard's room. Johnny Hook , Nat Boldoa and Ed Wai- don grabbed a aidestlck each and moved on Howard's mud batteries , while the cub and a mallet protected the roar of the procession. The boys boat a vigorous tattoo on Howard's high-backed chair and demanded a retraction nnd an apol ogy , which were reluctantly givon.though not in very classic language. Howard's prowcso as a pugilist received a decided set back after tnis , and his "KINQLY ' " I'REUODATIVES , an ho frequently called thorn , wore made the foot-ball of the establishment. His career in the oflico was brief owing to an inherent opposition to work of any kind and a weakness for free lunches and frco boor. Before his departure from Omaha ho arranged n sensation for his successors by leaving a note stating ho was tired of lifo nnd determined to explore the mys teries of the other shoro. An old hat , supposed to bo hie , was found on the banks ot the Flatto river shortly after , which tended to confirm the bo- llof tliat ho had made away with him- a solf. But Phocion loved lifo too well to cut it short , and was next hoard of ns traveling correspondent of the Chicago Tribune and is now publishing a paper at Peoria , Illinois , TUB Who made Omaha a halting place limned- ! toly after the war and for eight years follow ing , were like the pioneers of states strong- , bravo and every inch mon. Thoroughly versed in all the requirements of the trade , from the ) reB3-room to the composing room , they did not roquiru the revision of manuscript copy , not oven the hooding * . They were craftsmen , not mere type-Butting machines , There wai 10 such thing as revision of telegraph , and the icadman counted himself fortunate if ho did not make the display headings himself. Many of the best printers ifound Dr. Miller's chirography - raphy a rock on which they laid their "sticks" ind donned their coats.

It was rim by the boys for about eight months and netted them an uncommon amount of glory , hart work nnd about three dollars each a week. After the paper sold out Shultz stopped down and out , nnd George Washington 1'roel attempted to fill his dippers but the palter died In less than n month , Mr. Schultz has ninco then filled various important positions on the stall of the ISopubllcan nnd is now ed itor of the Western Newspaper Union.

George Washington Browstor , now the pro prietor of two papers nnd the organizer , founder and chief mojzul of "Blaino county , ' Neb. , wai ono of the few members of the gang of 1870 who could bo seen nnd hoard at the pamo time. In mouth and lung 'power George was blessed beyond tha ordinary rui of mortals. Doubtless this weakness led hin Into the publishing business , and finding ono weekly too cramped for his thoughts ho lias "slopped ovor" into a second. Ho is a hard conscientious worker for flat money. Harvey Jones was another of the genial , happy aud handsome prints who graced nn cast window In the building.

N , wmnn , pnator of th Madison avenue d " 'Jgrogationnl churcl of .Now York City , wft greeted by i largo coiu'rogation in Hov. Shirroll'i church , corner of Nine lecnlh nnd Chicago cage streets , in this city lat't ovonlng. This learned divine sok'ctccl for his diicourso "character , " takitig A3 toxl Hebrews twelfth chapter nnd j'ourtoonth verso , "Without holiness no iino shall see God. " "Character , " said tlitr minis ter , Is the condition of everlasting lifo. It doca not inlio.o in the human intellect , for the philosopher might hnvo been n fool nnd tlio fool n philosopher ; nor doi it inhere in the fortuities of lifo .Tho con dition must bo predicated of every hu man being. It is said , continued the pronchor , of an ancient thnt ho wont forth in search of n man , ns God is in search of charac ter. It is the doctrine of election and reprobation thnt God from nil eternity has given some tnon otornnl happiness nud others ho has doomed to everlasting sorrow. No philosopher would risk his reputation upon defining lifo. No states man would venture lo define civilization. So it U with character , and if ho should bo asked for n definition of it ho could only answer that it is what a mnn is. It Is not what ho is in n slngls word or not , but what ho Is in the tum total , what ho is about the fireside , nt his plnco of busi ness in short , the general drift of the man. Some mon nro said to bo honest , but they nro so pimply from policy , nnd the same way with truth. The minister then divided character ' into natural , responsible and ovnngol- llh ical. Christ Wont back of n man and es timated him not according to his motives. " Mnn novor-should bo judged by his motives lo tives , which nro simply n reason for an am am notion , behind all o ! which is n causation esl which is character. The bank cljrk who He [ steals the funds of widows nnd orphans , ofam t when put upon his trial says ho had no Til intention of stealing it , but his misfor tune waa caused by greed. Character Is cal : iohoritod. It is handed from father to cln ( ' ion. The physical and mental diseases , on physicians say , nro transmitted , nnd why o-i not virtues nud vices. Some mon from ilc childhood up nro brutal , while others are tpndor and loving. Some men lie con tinually , which condition the minister said ho would call simply nn enlargement of the imagination. Such men make good speculators nnd insurance mon. In heritance of character Is simply n trans Cl mission of n good or bad nature from parent to child. If character is thus transmitted should man bo responsible ? Wo say no. Should n man bo rewarded for having inherited n good nature ? To this wo say no. But there comes a time when mnn arrives nt the line of demarcation , when ho assumes [ what has been given him by nature and there hia responsibility .begins. Man should make a study of his virtues and boar what they can onduro. Seek the event of some mon for they ware born to iniluonco for good. It is n wise mnn who knows his wonk points. It is the misfortune of most men they nro con stnntly strengthening their strong ones nnd neglecting their weak ones. Out of character Hews happiness. Hap plnobs never llowa In. A man's heart should bo to happiness as the homo to so ciety. What a homo is thnt where the father deserts his fireside for his boon companions , where the parents go to places of/amusement nnd the homo is made a socondnry matter. The present invisibility of God is the result of sin. Before the fall of Adam aud Eve ho was personal. After 0 ward ho could bo soon in Iho rainbows and showers and later in the person of Jesus Christ. As sin has been the cause pf his invisibility so holiness is the moans by which mon shnll BOO God. 1'olico Court , Only two caaoa were in police court Saturday morning. John 0. Dionor was chnrgod with having boon intoxicated. Dionor said that ho was a farmer in Otoo county. Ho c.itno to Omaha yesterday ; to buy a broad-nzc.
