90PROGRESS OF THE WORLD AND WORLD-HERALD THE story of the Omaha Herald from 1863 to 1888 has been graphically and modestly told by Dr. Miller. That story is an important chapter in the history of Omaha and in the development of the west. The old Herald was for years recognized as a leading factor in the progress not only of the city but of the whole trans Missouri region. Its reputation as a newspaper and as a champion of the west extended far beyond its natural field of circulation. Day by day Dr Miller told the story of western growth and western possibilities in arteries which were widely quoted in the papers of other states as were also his political contributions. If thus happened at an early date that the Herald and its editor attained a national reputation and contributed greatly to the attention that was attracted to Omaha. The beginning of the World was in August, 1885. In that month in association with a few other men, I undertook to establish an evening paper in this city, which was then already well supplied with newspapers. Dr. Miller was still editing the Herald, which was recognized as the democratic newspaper of the state. The Republican was conducted by Mr. Yost and Mr. Fred Nye as an old-line party organ. The Bee, both morning and evening, edited then as now by Mr. Rosewater, was run as an independent republican paper and was probably in its most prosperous period. There were, therefore, three morning papers and one evening paper when the Evening World was born August 21, 1885, to become the fifth daily paper in Omaha | 90PROGRESS OF THE WORLD AND WORLD-HERALD THE story of the Omaha Herald from 1863 to 1888 has been graphically and modestly told by Dr. Miller.
