" 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

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.
During the past few years Judge Neville
has made Investments m Omaha real estate
with such discretion that ho is now enjoying
an annual income of about 10,000. Ho owns
property opposite the corners of the now
postoftleo site , and frankly confesses that the
selection of that particular block Increased
the value of his adjoining property nt least

The late Silas A. 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. An appeal wat
taken to the supreme court and a new trial
was granted , when Melton was found guilty
of murder tu the second degree and sentenced
by Judge Savage to a term ot tea years Im
prisonment , lu both of these cases Mr , Cou
ncil was pitted nraln.ittho Irvtc John Cnrlgan ,

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. " "
Dr. Miller Is particularly fond of scientific
works nnd the best authorities upon natu
