Its Growth in Circulation and Its Addition of Material. It is a big job to move a printing office.

Itis twice as big a job to move two printing offices. That is practically what the SATURDAY BEE has done this week. On Monday of this week Mr. D. H.

Lawson, who has been connected with some of the largest printing and publishing houses in Topeka, Kansas City, and Sioux City, entered the firm which pub.ishes the SATURDAY BEL. The management of this paper has bought the large assor ment of type, presses, and printers' material in the plant of the Payne Printing Co, which thus goes out of business. The pub ishers of the SATURDAY BEE have taken the rooms formerly occupied by the Payne establisement, and bave moved into them the material of the SATURDAY BEE. To accommodate this accession of material, it has been necessary to change very materially the arrangement of the rooms, and the new office has in consequence been badly torn up this week. To add to the confusion, the paper hangers have been at work to put the final touches upon the rooms.

Gradually order has been restored from the chaos, and we expect in a few days to have the handsomest, as well as the best equipped printing office in the city. The new office will do businegs under the style of "THE LAWSON PRINTING Co." It will Le prepared to do job printing of every description in great quantities, and it will turn out only the very best of work. It will make blank books, bind books and print them. There is nothing about book making which cannot be done in this office. The publication of the SATURDAY BEE will of course be continued.

and its circulation will be pushed with renewed vigor. Until certain equipments can be secured for our new press, it, has been found necessary to rednee the sixe of the pages from 6 to 5 columns. This change will be but temporary, as we expect to return to the 6- column form in a few weeks. We don't mean to leave out any news, however, and the SAUTRDAY BEE will be found circulating as much sweetness and brightness as ever. Whenever aary to this end, extra pages will be in sorted, and the merits of the publication are not to be judged from this num ber, which is issued under the greatest difficulties.

Come and sea 118 in our new location at No. 12, Second Ave. east. CONTRACT IS MADE. Price of Report is Fixed, and Time Agreed Upon.
