IN Great OhiOan Pays Respects to
the Paper and Its Editor.
Major Mckinley is to be numbered in the
list of prominent people who have visited
The Bee and admired its magnificent home.
When Mckinley made his tour of Nebraska
in the summer of 1892, he stopped in Omaha
for the first time. II was Friday evening,
August 5. He was driven with his party
to the High school grounds, where he de-
livered a rousing address to an assembled
multitude, upon the subject of protection
and republicanism.
After the speech he took his carriage
once more and was driven to The Bee
building. Here he was met by the editor
of The Bee, Mr.. E. Rosewater, and, after
a rapid survey of the architectural beauties
Of the structure, assembled in the elevator
to Mr.. Rosewater's private editorial study
and sat down for a much-needed rest.
Here the party remained for nearly a half
hour, discussing political prospects
and exchanging information as to
conditions existing in different parts
OF the country. Having shaken OF some
Of the fatigue of his speech, Major Mckinley
descended 10 his carriage and was taken
to his private car. in which he resumed his
journey eastward the next morning.

ORIGINAL BEE EDITORIAL DESK.
Interesting Relic of the Early Days
OF the

Among the surviving relics of the early
existence of The Bee is an old desk that
was at one time almost the only piece of
office furniture that the establishment af-
forGes. 1t is scarcely as large as a Eew-
ing machine, AID the obl0ng square Of
threadbare green baize which covers the
top is not sufficient to give support at once
TO the copy paper and the elbow of the
writer. It is a combination of hard maple
and walnut. but so worn and battered and
misused that its material is scarcely dis
tinguishable.
This unpretentious piece OF furniture
once occupied a high position in The Bee
establishment. Il was the first desk ever
brought into the Office, and when the paper
was in the midst Of its pristine struggle
for recognition it was used by Mr. Rose
water for his editorial work. The lid
opened disclosing a small recess lanked
by two or three pigeonholes for the re-
ception OF papers, and here such documents
we're deposited as were not carried around
in the pockets OF the editor. For
years the desk was used by Mr.. Rosewater,
but it was eventually discarded for a more
commodious piece OF furniture. Then it
was given a berth in the local office. but as
more convenient desks were introduced it
went from bad to worse uHr11 II failed TO
command recognition from even the office
boy.
But in spite of neglect and the mutations
of twenty-five years the old desk always
turned up at intervals, from some out OF
the way corner. While no one used it, it
escaped destruction and now ii occupies a
corner in the business Office and makes it,
self useful as a depository for copy paper.
