ALEXANDER G. NEVINS, editor of the "Daily News", was born, Nov. 16, 1858, at 
New Brighton, Staten Island, opposite New York. His parents removed to La 
Crosse in 1859, he being numbered among their household. He was educated at 
the La Crosse public schools, Shattuck School at Faribault, Minn., Hellmuth 
College at London, Ont., and at the State University at Madison, Wis., but did 
not graduate from the latter. In 1874, he started a job printing office in La 
Crosse, disposing of this business a year later to Putnam & Bloom. He then 
worked for the "Republican and Leader" as local reporter, remaining with them, 
with slight intermission, until the summer of 1880, when he started the "Daily 
News".
