Brevites
"Brevities", compiled by Ardeth Riedel, is a HUGE extraction from most of the existing Tribune issues from 1874 through 1950 or so, and it is searchable. This database is remarkable for both its size and the scope of non-business related information, although there is some business-related information is included.
