HcrlbeH ol'Othci' Dayw. " 1 wai rending In Tin : Susim HII : : , " said an ex-ncnvspupor man , "na article on the ad vance of Ouialm Journalism the past do/en ycnrs nau was forcibly reminded thcrobv of the ( 'rciit dumbos wrought within tlmt tlinu. Then in thinking the mutter over and con- tcniplntliiR ttio Journalistic strides In those dozen years the mind reverted to a period covering a decade previous to thnt time and how dally newspaper work was carried on In Omaha la those d.iys. "Then two men covered n Held where scores nro now employed , and I hnvo In mind tlio case of" one man Major Ulnl , of the D.tlly Republican , who for n tlmo did nil the editorial and city writing , com passed the entire proof-reading nnd followed it up with addressing and mailing all the out-of-town mall. I think , too , the major as sisted la folding the papers , but ot this I am not quite certain. These manifold duties kept him pretty busy , but between times ho managed to hucaro enough sleup to cnahlo him to stand up under the strain for many months. The major drilled from Omaha to Sacramento , nnd was engaged in editorial work la thai elty several years previous to his death. "Tliea there was a Mr. Wilson of Philadel phia imported direct , 1 think , by Dr. Miller of the Herald who nlono edited the city pngo of that piipcr.attondcd to revision of the telegraph , making headings , reading proof , etc. etc.Tho The Herald was n ten-column folio In those days , and to get up thrco or four columns of local news each day for thu big fourth page. In addition to the other duties mentioned , was no easy tislr. Wilson , however , was n rapid writer , an adopt news-gatherer , and from day to day ho accomplished the work with apparent unso. Of course telegraph re- ttorts lit that , tiinn wnrn lint.nriH.tniitb nn Inrcn as now. "Hut as I said before , Wilson was from Philadelphia , where ho had been engaged In newspaper work , and tie could and did glvo us westerners ninny points how to get up n newspaper in a readable and attractive man ner. Ills first innovation was to arrange the telegraph news under proper headings , sub headings , etc. , something that had been en tirely neglected previous to his coming. Criminal , accidental , political , foreign , etc. , weio arranged under appropriate headings , and over the whole wn's placed u 'slug head' big enough to "please " the most avaricious compositor , nml.to'mako him think that Wil son was the bostincwspaiKjr man this far west. Uoforo the Philadelphia Journalist struck the town'there ' Bad boon no heads put on the tclcgnltib , . and the only revision it got came from the compositor ns ho pnt the news In typo. Whole columns were dumped In the forms with its slnglo line , 'Latest by Telegraph , ' over the whole , nnd ns the printers were moro inter ested in the length of their string of dupes than they were In presenting au Intelligible report , you can sdfely calculate that the tele graph columns did not read as smooth ns in these later days. Wilson wonted a great change one that met the approbation of the nrinter.suitfd the general reader , und pleased Dr. Miller so much so thnt he complimented the now city editor on his work , as ho was wont to do nny man who labored on his paper and rendered good service. "I snokoof the 'slug heads' that Wilson put over the telegraph news , nnd I meant to toll you that ho was the tlrst man to make that sort of ahead in nn Omaha newspaper. Thay came when he came and have romnincd over since. First the telegraph news was thus inudo prominent , and soon after important local articles were served in like manner. A series of articles on the Omaha nchools writ ten by Wilson wore treated with sensational heading * , nnd attracted much attention thereby. It was a departure from the monotony ony of police court reports , army news , rail road intelllgenco , etc. , with watch the col umns hnd previously been burdened , and cre ated n good Impression for the paper that had the energy to go as far away as Philadelphia for literary talent. "Hut Wilson , with all his talent nnd the valuable newsp iper expeiienco ho was able ti bring from the Quaker City , did not last long In the hustling Omaha of those days. Hu had n penchant for lecturing in cornice- lion with his manifold newspaper duties , and as Dr. Mtllor naturnily wantoj a man whom ho paid a liberal salary to give his undivdcot attention to ttio Herald columns , the brilliant young journalist of 1'nlladelphia at the end of n few months' service returned to his llrst love nnd again took up the work ho abandoned to seek fame and fortune in the tar west. "Yes there has , as stated in Tun Hur..s article to which 1 referred In the outset , been great changes m the manner of conducting newspapers in Omaha in the past twenty ' years. The city in that time bus made grca't strides , but the newspapers imvo kept equal pace , If they have not exceeded the progress and prosperity witnessed on every hand. As nn evidence look nt the metropolitan-appear ing , widely circulated nnd ably managed Dtn.v llii : : , with its ponderous prcs.-.cs , score.3 of writers , army of printers , hosts of carriers , and last , out not least , the llnost publication structure in the country. All built up and made permanent in tlio last do/en or fifteen years. Ono who Is not familiar with Its early history , of the disad vantages under which It labored at the start , cannot npprcclato the magnitude of its great ness ut tills time. To properly understand the success and prominence attending Its publication ho must go back to the days when It first came before the public ns a little give- nwny sheet , with no plant of Its own , for midable opposition from ttie old-established paper- " , beset by itroand fiend and hampered m all possible ways that the end of its days might ho .soon numbered. Hut it triumphed over all obstnrlccnnu is today a living em bodiment of thffdctcrmlnation and enorgv of the man whom otorybody Knows to bo nt its head. " _ CAI. . A NewAVnr Heoi'cuiry.

Judge James Novlllo came to Omaha soon after the close of the war , In which ho bore nn active part , being mustered out as captain of his company. Ilis first employment hero wns as n clerk to copy legal paper * in the ofllco of Strickland .t Mnxby , but BO much difficulty was experienced In diguing out tlio hidden mysteries of the copies aforesaid that the firm was compelled to do something in self-defense. , nnd so lie wns promoted to a partnership nnd another man hired to wield the pen. Later on ho was appointed United States district at torney for Nebraska , which office he filled for eight years nnd in l " 'J was made Judge of this district. While on the bench Judge Neville estab- Ishcd a-i honorable reputation. Ho was pa tient and conscientious In the hearing of cases nud always actua'.od by a desire to render ex act Justice to litigants. As prosecuting attorney - tornoy in the United States court ho was too sympathetic in his nature to bo a terror to evil doers to any mnikcd degree nnd ho vas always ready to make full allowance for the weaknesses of human in dealing with violators of the lav. On ono occasion , upon coming into court with a big bundle of indictments , ho remarked to a prominent member of the Omaha bar : "Now , hero nro three packages ; these ( in dicating ono of the packages ; I intend to try ; these ( indicating ; , to continue , nud these lo dismiss. " It happened that the attorney had beene m ployed by ono of Iho indicted unfortunates and hence was interested in learning Justhow his client was affected by this sorting out of papers. As they were loft ly ing on the table for a few moments ho examined them and skillfully slipped the indictment in which ho was concerned from the bundle marked "trial" to that labelled "nolle , " and was much pleased to hear his case read out by district attorney Ncvillo among these ho desired dismissed. Then ho skipped out Into the corridor where his anxious client was pacing up and down , nnd told him to "jump the town'1 at once , which ndvico was acted upon. In tlio afternoon Mr. Neville announced that ho wishol to take up this particular case , and the defendant's counsel was asked by Judge Dundy If ho was ready for trial. The lawyer replied , with much astonishment , that at thu morning session his client was on hand with n rlnml nf ivl mvu.p fnllv prepared to prove his Innocence , but thnt , hearing his case called with these the district attorney wished to dismiss , ho supposed that ended It and had nt once loft town. Mr. No- villoexplalncd that ho had placed that Indict ment in the wrong package by mistake a id that ho was very anxious to try the case. As the dreadful crime of the defendant consisted in cutting a few trees on government hind , and ho had already boon put to great ex pense and anxiety , the court concluded the man had been .sufficiently punished , and the dismissal was allowed to stand.

Strickland was Judge No- villo's predecessor as United htatcs district attorney mid for n quarter of a century wns n prominent character in Nebraska politics. Ho first located at Hcllovuo , about I 'il , and in IsSTi was appointed by Judge r'eimor Fer guson ( fathcrof Judge Arthur X. Ferguson ) clerk of the territorial court for this district. Ho represented Douglas county In the loiris- Inturo in 1S.17. At tlio beginning of the war ho enlisted as n private In the First Ne braska infantry , became adjutant of the regi ment , then colonel of the Fifteenth Ohio in- lantry , achieving special distinction at the battle of Porryvilio , Ky. , and returned homo nt the close of the war with the rank of brig adier general by brevet. Of the constitu tional convention of lb l ho was the presi dent nnd brought to the performance of the duties of that position a degree of vigor , tact , energy and good nature which was always effective. As a lawyer ho rolled moro upon his power with a Jury in which respect ho had few cijuids than upon beluga master of obstruso legal points. Ho usually began the trial of a case with an abundance of paper for taking notes of testimony ( of which , ns a matter of fact , ho never used n full sheet ) , a clean handkerchief and a pack age of peppermint candy , all of which ho would plaei on the table behind him , to find , a few moments later , than his package of candy was being passed around among tlio lawyers for free distribution. Iii a trial in the United States court where u .voting man had been indicted for passim.- counterfeit J10 bill , the counsel of the latter , C. A. Haldwin , esq. , objected to General Strickland's course in endeavoring to prove by busino-is men the fact that the bill in question was n counterfeit , but to no pur- noso. Finally , improving a favorable chance , Kir. Ualdwin substituted u good bill for the counterfeit , which genuine money General Strickland then proved by three business men to bo the rankest kind of counterfeit. Thereupon Mr. Haldwin vehemently de manded that attention bo given to his ob jections and Judge Dundy insisted that the district attorney snnd out for a bank cashier as nn export. With great confidence Gen eral Strickland handed to the expert the bill after establishing his business and his ex perience in handling money and said : "Stato to the Jury whether , in your opin ion , that bill is good or badf" ' 'This is a good bill , sir , " returned the wit ness. 'What ! " shouted the attorney , "do you mean to say that bill is not a counter feiti1' "Yes , sir ; if you will bring it down to the Omaha National bank \vo will glvo you the gold for it. " Then there wns n scene , in the midst of which Mr. Haldwin managed to explain to the court that ho had changed bills without the knowledge of the district attorney , nnd that in vlow nf the fact thnt three good busi ness men had testified thnt n genuine ) bill was n counterfeit , he thought considerable allowance should bo made for his client an ignorant country boy in mistaking a coun terfeit for a coed mil. The Jury wore ovi- don'.ly Impressed with the idea , for they ro- ' turno'd a verdict of acquittal. W. J. Connnll oitabllahed a flno record as district attorney of the state court during hl'i term which begun In January , l " > . in the fall of that year ho prosecuted Willard Kandall , indicted for the murder of a young woman at Fontenclle , Washington county , under circumstances of the most atrocious character. Randall was only about eighteen years of ago and had previously berne so good a reputation that his assertions of innocence wore at first gen- crally believed. The proof against him was entirely circumstantial , nn old pair of rubber overshoes with a deep mark across the solos , caused by puttlm ; them against a hot stove- hearth , forming nn Important link In tlio chain of testimony. Tracks were found in the fio-iti snow leading from thn road to the bouse where the woman had been loft alone that day , nnd these trucks had a mark pre cisely fitting these In the soles of KtindiiU's shoes. The first trial was held at Hlalr whuio the jury disagreed but on the second trnl , held in Omahn , Mr. Contioli secured a con viction and Itandatl was sontcneoJ to a term of tea years hard labor in the penitentiary. It was ut Hlalr that Judge bavao pronounced - nouncod the death sentence on the only occasion ho was requlrod to go through that trying ordeal durlntr UU seven years of service on the Loneh. in this case ) ono Minor Melton wai convicted of murder In the llrst degree , h's victim being an InotTonsivo Danish fanner whom ho bant to death with n maul In a drunken furv nfter chasing him several miles from Hlalr out into the countiy , In n wagon.

There are not many people In Omaha who have n hotter appreciation of irood literature than Dr. C5eorgo L. Miller , although ho has been too busy a man most of his life to devote - vote much time to reading out-sldo of news * papers and the current topics of the hour. His library at his beautiful country seat in Seymour park , ono of the most dcllghtfu suburbs of Omaha , Is not remarkable for tha great number ot volumes but the .selection is , for nil practical purposes , most o.xcollcnU Dr. Miller knows thoroughly every baok ha has on his shelves and if ho had not , years ago , gotten Into the very generous but ex pensive habit of giving his books nwny and IcndliiL' them to almost everybody who wished to borrow ho would certainly have had n magnilleent array of choiro volumes. Speaking of his own library the other day Dr. Miller said : "I have no library worth mentioning , because I have not been n literary man. I spent too many years in the capacity of n busy ed'tor ' to hnvo becoino cnprojsed in literature. \Vhnt t hnvo I have read and ro-read and I have given away morii books than T have in my library. I never bought a book that I did not want to use and many of the most valuable volumes I over owned have ucen scattered hero nnd there and I shall never -Y , sco them again. I have two spec1 Inl treasures in mv library. Thos are the works of Irviitg nnd Hnwthnrno. I am passionately fond of these two books and would not part with them under nny ronsld oration. I never had any desire to fill my library with quantities of nooks about which 1 know iiottiini : , simply ns a matter of show. I make a practical use ot my library. When 1 want to know something about n acientilld point or n question in philosophy or natural history I go through everything I have in my library bearing upon that subject and I mnko tlio knowledge that the books contain n part of my own me " tat resources to such an extent , nt least , U ' I shall know Just where to lay my fingori the thing when I want it again. "Hut I am not u literary man. There very few literary people fn Omaha or west. Wo have boon too busy with other things. It requires , first , a natural tnsto tot literature and nnclcntlorc , and then tlmo and application to produce n real literary person. " 1 remember two very eminent illustra tions of Iho point I mentioned a moment ago with regard to buying books ns a matter of show and buying them as a means of real literary attainment. Ono wiw Btoj > hon A. Douglas nnd the other was Samuel .1. Til- den. Douglas hud an immense array of line books ; magnificent book cases tilled with handsomely bound volumes that wcro not disturbed "from ono end of the year to the other. Douglas was not a book man nnd the larger part of his library had never been read by the owner. "Mr. Tildon was nntlroly different. Ho was n render of wonderfully line taste nnd In- satlablo thirst. In addition to this ho pos sessed ono of the most retentive memories t ever know. Ho seemed to bo able to call up nt will any ono in that varied nnd stupendous array of volumes in his library and find In it exactly the ( [ notation ho hid in mind. I once visited Mr. Tilden , taking with mo Senator Paddock , who hud become an ndmiror of the ; sago of ( irammorcy Park , but had never ' * t him. When I Introduced Senator Padlock Mr. Tildon repeated the name and thcrt Said1 'Wnltii moment. 1 want to tell Mr Paddock somothinc about his ancestry. Mohn bring mo voluinu in case . ' Wncn the re quired volume wns handed to our host ho turned deliberately to a certain page and read us several pages about Senator Pad dock's lather and grandfithcr. 'You sco I know something about your ancestry,1 s.ud Mr. Tilden , smiling , as ho laid down tlio book and then branched out Into ono of these conversations that were a combined spell of sociability and intellectual comfort to the listener.
