The Abstract $3.50, 900 Less Thar

A Bold Attempt to Lessen the Ter

Early last September 1t was quietly
limited that one of the counties of the
territory had been detected in an attempt
to best Wyoming by submitting a doctored
assessment abstract to the territorial board.
including the governor. treasurer and
auditor. The direlict subdivision, it now
transpires, was Uinta county and it was
learned yesterday that it had determined
to maintain its stand in the premises and
enforce a shortage in the territorial
revenue.
The clerk of Uinta county certified the
abstract to the territorial board last Au-
gust and when taxed with making a false
return promptly replied that he had Sim
ply carried u the instructions of the
commissioners.
Further correspondence with Uinta
county officials at that time was without re.
suit but territorial officers ascertained to a
reasonable certainty that the return made
was about $3.50, 600 less than the actual
amount. The matter was dropped until
the time for the appended section of the

EARLY TRIALS AND TRIU MPHS
From the Travail of Infancy to the
Sunshine Of Prosperity.
THE BEES FORMER HOMES.
A Mighty Struggle Crowned with Suc-
yess-Tbe Annual Expenses OF
the Bee-Circulation of
Daily and Weekly.

The first copy of THE BEE was issued from
a two-story frame house, which up to within
two months stood on the southeast corner OF
Dodge and Twelfth streets. The building
was owned by the Rcdfield brothers The
basement was the repository of a hand
cylinder press and quarter medium Gordon.
The first story was subdivided INTO two
large rooms, each about eighteen by twenty,
was filed with job Office material
and news cases., while the upper
apartments to printers. From this building
THE DAILY BEE was issued during the first
three months of it's infantle existence,
On q lot adjoining the Redfield Brothers
job Office to the south stood another two
story frame, with a wooden basement and
front porch. Just before THE BEE had been
launched into existence this building had
been occupied as the fourth rate hotel
known as the Cedar Rapids house. In
September 1871, this building was leased
by Edward Roscwater and converted
into polyglot printing house. The Beo-
bachter am Missouri with it's entire plant,
including n small job Office, had been pur:.
chased by Mr. Rosewater and converted
from a democratic into an Independent re-
publican organ. A full dress and all neces-
sary equipments were also purchased for the
Pokrok Xapadu (Wcstern Progress), Bohe-
mian weekly founded by Mr.. Rosewaeer in
the interest of immigration. Last but not

office and type room in this building, utilizing
the Redfeld brothers printing press in the
adjoining building for its press work. On
June IL, 1872, the Bee Office including the
building and all its contents, were destroyed
by an lncendiary fire. An entirely new
plant, including news and job type, for THE
BEE and the Beobachter and Pokrok was
bought principally on credit at Cincinnati
and st Louis, and moved into the two
story and basement brick building on
Farnam street, between Ninth and Tenth,
which had been erected by Mr.. Rosewater in
1869 and was then owned by him. In this
building The BEE and its German and Bo-
hemian annexes were quartered with an
abundance of space. For six years The BEE

tcrially increasing its facilities ana without
replenishing the job Office to any great eHtehI.
In 1879 the wooden structure on the lot al
joining the Farnam street building on the
east was leased, and finally the lot was
bought by THE BEE Publishing company
from Milton Rogers for $1,000. That made
n frontage of forty-four feet on f'arnam
street, including the twenty-five foot DrlcR
building and the twenty-five 1901 frame
structure, both beng two stories IN neiehG;
There was an entrance cut in the slde wall
of the brick building effecting passage pc
tween the two buildings, In this conultloh
THE BEE Office remained till i've years ago,
when the frame building was sold ana re,
placed by one-story brick. That was 1oilo"eu
shortly afterwards by the reconstruction OF
the whole building. The wooden ioists on
the first floor of the brick structure were
torn out, brick arches were made between
iron rails on the floor and the DasenenI
was made perfectly fire-proof. Thls WORK
was accomplished without interfering with
the publication of the paper. Then the front
was torn out and two more stories We're
added to the building. The basement OF the
Office was tiled with marble, the walls were
beautifully decorated and Il cherry counter
was put in, so that The BEE had the hhese
counting room in the city at that tlme
But the Office room again became TOO con-
tracted and twenty-five feet OF the upper
story on the west belonging to the Strang
building were leased, so that THE BEE prac-
tlcally occupied forty-four feet, together
with the one-story annex on the east' as VIII
be seen by reference to the cut.

the entire Office was accomplished week
later without the slightest jar ana without
loss of time or any of its editions. Both or

perfect order on the sixteen page edition OF

never been equalled, much less excelled by
any paper in Chicago or ST. Louis. Since
that time illustrated supplements and trade
reviews nave become distinctive features OF
THE BEE, and have done more than any one
agency TO advertise and proclaim the pros
perity of Omaha to the world,
The Second Important Event
in the history of THE BEE occurred on the
lst of February, 1873, when the Bee Publish
ing company was perfected and the building
and grounds, plant and good will of the
paper turned over to il. Tho articles of in.
corporation, signed by Edward Rosewater,
Andrew Rosowater, A. II. Souer, Henry A.
Haskell, Alfred Soronson and Edwin Davis,
were filed with the county clerk January 10,
1878. Tho capital stock was limited to $780,
000 but only $4,000 was issued. A commit
tee of the new company invoiced the stock,
material and subscription list of
the paper at 3l,SSl92. The value of
the ground ana building was placed at
$4,000, making a total of Stl ,SSl,92. The
company purchased the property for $4,000,
and issued stock to MIR. Rosowater in pay
ment, giving him n controlling interest. The
first board of directors consisted OF h. Rose
water, G. w. Linlnger Max Meyer, Edwin
Davis and A. Rosewater Mr.. E. Rosewater
was elected president of the company, and
given complete control of the policy and
management of the paper. Both positions he
holds to-day, and owns nearly four-iifths of
the stock in the Bee Publishing company.
pany now consists of 400 shares $3.50 each, or
u total of 5000 The organization of the
company placed The BEE
On n Solid Foundation.
A mortgage debt of $3.50 was liquidated,
and a balance of ready cash placed in the
treasury to meet immediate demands. The
change brought with it great improvements
IN the paper and machinery from time to
time, to meet the demands of the public.
New type was added and double cylinder
Hoe press with folders attached supplanted
the old Babcock Job press. Then another
double-cylindcr Hoe press was added. Step
by step the paper reached a metropolitan rank.
The morning and evening editions were en-
larged from four to eight pages. In 1881
Council Bluffs department was added, fol-
lowed in 1885 by the establishment of news
bureau at Lincoln, and the employment of
correspondents in Washington, Chicago, and
in the principal towns of Iowa and Nebraska.
Early in June, 1880, the morning edition
grew to such proportions that a force of
writers and printers entirely independent of
the evening force, was employed
One of the HARVEST Struggles
which THE BEE experienced in getting to the
front was with the telegraph companies. The
usual avenues of news was barred against 1t,
and it was compelled to pay enormous tolls
for special dispatches from various points.
These tolls were little less than robbery.
While the papers in the Associated press
were supplied with telegraphic news for
about seventy-fve dollars per month"; THE
Omaha daily bee., 1889-06-19

struck off at Redheld Brothers Job office, OF
which about 300 were lald upon the seats at
the Academy of Music, aud the remainder
were distributed free In the stores and
hotels.
The name OF II. Geralde appeared at the
head of the colsmnof paragraphs as editor
and publisher. A v
The Real HpbIisher and Founder
was Edward Rosewater, who was at that
time manager ofthe Atlantic and Pacific tel
egraph lines and withheld his name to avoid
disagreeable notopiety in connection with
what he then teearded as venture that
would not surviva sixty days. No prospectus
was issued, but ths following brief announce
ment was made in the first numbers:
NorIerTo THE PUBLIC.
Attention is directed TO the Special Tele-
graphic Dispatches of THE OMAHA BEE, con-
tanning the latest intelligence up to the hour
of going to press. Thoroughly condensed, the
hoped AFFORD some evidence, in addition to
other novelties, that the Editor of this Journal
Is determined TO deserve success in hitherto
untrodden field OF journalistic effort. To the
Omaha public, ever prompt to recognize enter
prise, is thus presented free Of ehssrge; what what
may, without exaggeration, be called the rect-
fled essence of diurnal history.
The essence" so called, consisted of two
thirds of column of kilograms from home
and foreign points, equal TO one.third of
column of the present BEE.
The First Approach
TO newspaper form was made early in the
succeeding month by Transforming the the
atrical dodger into "a four page sheet. On
the 9th of July the paper was enlarged to
double its original size, making it 2iX36
inches, and the price of subscription made
12l5 cents per week, or 80 cents per month.
The name of Il. Rosewater, editor and pro-
prietor was substituted for that of II. Ger
aide, who had been merely a figurehead.
During the month of August THE BEE was
again enlarged by the addition of one col
umn to each page, and on September 9, the
first number of The WEEKLY BEE was is
sued.
The First Home OF the Bee
was in the Redfield building, a frame which
stood on the southeast corner of Twelfth ana
Dodge streets Ali material necessary for
the publication of the paper were owned by
the Redfield brothers.
On the 9th of May. 1872, Tua BEE was
again enlarged, this time TO double its size,
and the publication Office removed to $40
(old number) Twelfth street, two doors
south OF the original Office. The proprietor
had purchased new dress of type. but the
presswork was done in the Redteld building
on u Cincinnati drum cylinder press, oper-
atcd by hand This press, now owned by
the Columbus (Neb.) journal, was worked
by Archie Richmond, a muscular colored
man, and when Richmond was in prime con-
dition from 700 to 500 Impressions or from
$50 to 400 papers were turned off in an hour
Destroyed by Fire.
EARLY in the morning of June II, 1872, THE
Omaha daily bee., 1889-06-19

BEE was compelled to pay from $500 to $500
per month for its service; the cXactlcns OF
the telegl~ h companies became unbearable,
and persistent and successful effort was
made to compel recognition Of The BEE as
one of the 1--we newspapers of the west.
Finally, in 1894, The BEE was admitted into
the Associated press on the payment OF
cash bonus of 50, 800. The purchase of the
franchise added greatly to the news facilities
of the paper. But it did not rest on the
laurels won at such great cost. 1t extended
its corps of special correspondents in every
direction, completely covering every impor-
tant point in the trans. Missouri region. The
BEE was not content with its pre-eminence
as a state paper. 1t broadened its field by
including Iowa on the east, Dakota on the
north, Kansas on the south, and Colorado,
Wyoming and adjoining territories on
the west 1t is to-day without a rival IN the
west and has acquired national reputation
unsurpassed by any newspaper between Chi
cago and the Rocky mountains
The Third Great Epoch
in THE BEES career began September 2S,
1885, when perfecting press and a complete
stereotyping plant were put In operation.
Tho press is known as the Scott perfecting
press, the invention OF Walter Scott,
Scotchman, who, with his business associates,
sold the patent to the well-knoWn firm OF II.
Hoe 81 Co, for 300, ,0O0 IL was made by the
Potter Printing Press company of Plain
field, N. j., under license from Hoe & Co.
1t weighs nineteen tons, and cost The BEE
in the neighborhood of $1,000, 1t is a
mechanical marvel-compact, complete and
powerful. 1t prints, cuts, folds and pastes
1900 copies of an eight-page paper per
hour, or 10000 copies of a four-page paper.
Two years later second perfecting press
was purchased together With duplicate
plant of steoeotyplng machinery. Both
presses are now in operation in THE BEE
press room, making the most complete news
paper plant in the west. AT the time Of the
purchase of the first perfecting press, there
was no web-perfecting in use west of the
Missouri, and The BEE justly claims to be
the pioneer in fast presses as well as in
every department OF newspaper life.
The Dampenins Machine.1
The paper which Is run through the press
from continuous roll, must first be
dampened, otherwise it will not take good
impression. The machine for wetting II is
simple one. An iron axle is run through the
core of the roll of paper, and the roll IS sus'
pended in bearings at one end OF the ma
chine, so as to revolye free. The end OF the
web is then attached TO another core and
axle, similarly placed at the other end OF the
machine. These axles are attached TO the
driving cylinder. When this cylinder is
started the roll of paper Is unwound from
one core ana rewound upon the other, and
in its passage moves through spray OF
water from TWO Jets above II. In few
hours the roll has absorbed the necessary
moisture and Is ready for the press.
StereOtyping.
The process of stereotyping Is compara-

Few editors and publishers have survived
the trials and torments inseparable from in-
FAINT journalism. The elder Bennett estab-
lished and lived to see the New York Herald
at the front rank of American journalism.
Horace Greeley founded the New York
Tribune and enjoyed it's success before his
death. The World drifted from hand to hand
until Pulitzer took it off the shoulders Of
Jay Gould and made it phenomenal success
The Sun and the Times had several owners
before Dana and Jones gave them IA habita-
tion ana name" The Chicago Times and
Tribune We're not founded by Storey and
Medill, the men who made them
the recognized organs of western
thought and energy. The Chicago News
rose from the ruins of the Post and
the Inter Ocean from the wreck of the Re-
public The Louisville Courier was founded
by George ID. Prentiss, but it did not attain
tho commanding influence and prosperity
which the consolidation with the Journal and
the abilities of Henry Watterson brought it.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette and the
Enquirer have changed ownership several
times On the Pacific coast the San Fran
cisco Chronicle was founded by tho De-
Youngs. Charles DoYoung lived to see it a
power for good in California, and it Is still
controlled by the surviving brother, Michael.
There are really less than dozen influential
newspapers to-day whose original owners
lived to see them rise from struggling in
fancy to heights of commanding influence
and power, and The BEE is one Of them.
