Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1905 — “PI,” BUT NOT THE KIND “DUNNVILLE” IS SO FOND OF. [ARTICLE]

“PI,” BUT NOT THE KIND “DUNNVILLE” IS SO FOND OF.

The Democrat wants to apologize to its correspondents last week whose items were neceesarly omitted after they had been pat in type and placed on the press ready —as we thought—to be printed. In the hurry of getting to press, being a little late —and each accidents invariably happen when late in getting to press—the forms were not locked on the press bed, as they should have been, and when the press was started the ink rollers palled the correspondence page from the press and tnrned it bottom up on the floor, and three columns of correspondence and a half column of real estate transfers, and many other items were damped in a heap. It was a sight such as we have never seen before and don’t care to see again, although we occasionally hear of brother publishers having Buch an experience. The form was hurriedly made up with other matter and the paper was out on time, as usual. It is a fact—though it will not be generally believed—that not a “cuss” word was ottered — everyone in the office was too overcome for utterance. It took the entire force all of Saturday forenoon to gather up the “fragments” and place the “pi” in the proper “cases.”
