1.-THE DAY."
st. Paul to Have a New Two Cent
Afternoon Paper Which VIII
Be a Newspaper.


Rumors of a new newspaper enterprise in
St. Paul have crystalized into confirmation
The GLOBE having learned that Stanley
Waterloo, late managing editor of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, aud who has been in the city
for some time, was the leading spirit in the
venture, a reporter sought him at his hotel.
Being out J. s. Dickerson, late managing
editor of the Evening Journal, who it was
learned was associated with Mr. Waterloo in
the enterprise, was found and authorized
this statement of facts. The new paper is to
be an afternoon publication, to be known
as The Day. The first number
will be issued about September 90.
In form and make up the Day will be some
thing like the Chicago Nelcs which has been
such a success. TIE whole range Of the
newe field will be covered with especial atten-
ton to the northwest, and above all the local
field will be thoroughly cleaned and attrac-
lively presented. The paper viii be what its
name would imply, newspaper of the day.
What sort of telegraph service will the
Dag have, was asked Mr.. Dickerson.
The connection OF SIR. Waterloo with the
leading papers of Chicago and St. Louis for
many years ard my own experience in
! serving the leading papers of the east with
the news Of the northwest enables US to Sc
cure such news service as has not been
served by the general run of evening news
papers. In addition to the best regular
evening press service in the market, the Dag
will buy news in the open markets whenever
itcau be had. 1t will have correspondents
at all news centers and in all the towns Of
the northwest tributary to ST. Paul.
Who will be engaged on the editorial staff
These are matters already determined but
for obvious reasons they are not yet best to
be disclosed. You may saw however,
that the staff will be made UP of the best tai
ent in the country. Two at least OF the
names would be recognized throughout the
west as high up in the profession were they
mentioned. A full corps of editors, writers
and reporters will be employed, SO that the
news will be handled by experts. The writ
ing will be bright. and the news columns
made attractive. Above all, the paper, while
publishing the news, will be clean, and the
Dun will be made welcome visitor in every
! household

Dag. To start with it will have fast press ia
cilities.'
''Where docs the capital for this enterprise
come from?n
From st. Louis and ST. Paul; principally
from the former. Soyou see the new enter
prise will bring to st. Paul outside money
he
brought here and given employment and be-
come identified with the city and its splendid
future. Besides it will be the mis-
sion OF the Day to give the
splendid resources and development
of st. Paul creditable representation in all
the territory tributary to it. 1t viii at once
join the great morning dailies in advertising
st. Paul abroad 1t is the purpose of the
management to make tie Day one of the in
stitutlons of the city of which it may we'll be
proud. To this end it will be conducted
with fixed resolution and ample ability, as
well as capital.
GLOW did Mr.. Waterloo chance to come
into the field!'
It was the cool, calculating
design of man who knows
newspaper field when he sees
it, and the prompt decision of a
man of nerve and tireless energy. The
fact is that he has had his eye on the even
ing field of st. Paul for two or three years as
have many other journalists, but he was the
first to have the combination ofcapital, pluck
and decision to grasp the situation. He has
had reports from MS agents here for two
years. ~
How did you happen to become associated
with him in the enterprise!
He and I have been friends professionally
and personally for twelve years. In
fact he and Mr.. Dan. Houser, proprietor
of the Globe Democrat, now guest
at the Hotel st. Louis, were among
the organizers of the American Press asso-
citation Gas early as 1879 out of which has
grown the United Press association. Since
then we have followed each others fortunes
now TO become associated in an enterprise
which it shall be our purpose to make credit
to st Paul and to the northwest. To this
end we shall devote our energies.
