lion. Edward Uo owatcr was the witness
pi the tiKirnlni ; at the tnblo where the squab.
t > lo over the utato ofllces was ROIIIJ ! on. Ho
\vas interrogated by Mr. Hull , counsel ( or
Mr. Uoytl.
Ho said that a boycott was Inaugurated
bRalnst htm during the lnst camiaign | , Some
tlmo during the summer , probably in August ,
resolutions \vcro adopted r.t a incotlnj ( bold in
B tent In which problbltlon rovivnla were car
ried on denouncing Mr. Koscwatcr porsonnlly
UndTiiK Unn , nnd urging the discontinuance
Of the patronaio of thn paper.
Sooti lifter resolutions were passed by
XJfcbont lodge , Independent Order ot Good
tromplnni of this city , In fiivor of aisconUnu-
in tlio jatroimpro of Tin : Unn , alleging lliat
Wr. lloicwator had offered to soil the editorial
columns of THE DEI : to the wtjlsky ring and
tllsgruccit the profession of Journalism. They
rwltoO nil Good Templars in tbo state to dls-
continue the paper antl nso their influence
vlth others to the sumo end. Thcso resolu
tions \voro published in the Omaha Itepubll-
can nnd Lincoln Call. A circular was sent
out by Mr. lieck , secretary of the ledge ,
to other papers In the stale , requesting that
it bo published nnd given a prominent place
that it nltrht frighten off people who might
bo in favor of working against prohibition
nnd limn assisting TDK jir. ; . The witness
called liccli to his olllco nnd naked thnt the
lodge rc'lruct tlio resolutions , as the cditotlul
columns of Tint 13ci : had never been sold to
nnybody for any consideration , nnd bo
\vnutoil the boycott removed. Beck uctoJ
Insolently and impertinently , but ilnally &alu
that bo would HCO about it.
Tbo wltncsit saw the United States district
attorney und County Attorney Mahoney nnd
the latter assured him that ho lia'l agoodcaso
DRainst ttiu ledge if ho wanted to uush it. Ho
ngaln culled up Mr. Beck and askeu about the
inntter. and a few days later received n letter
which he Htlll has in his possession. Mr.
"Watts. , nn olllcor of the K'wid ' lodge of Uood
tTtimplnrs of tbo state , also sent him a letter -
tor leiteratiui ; the former charges
find sUithiK thnt Mr. Rosovvatcr
\vns no bettor than a prostituto.
\Vatts requested that the letter bo published
In Tin : lir.E. and said that ho thought his
request would bo compiled wllti. The wt-
iicss did not want to make martyrs of either
Mr. IJeolc or Mr. Watts , but thought that
they ought to bo nuttlnough. This boycott
was all instituted because of the attitude of
the witness on prohibition. There -was n
great deal of tbo same thing in other
Lots of boycott. Letters were re
ceived from Wcoinnfj AVntcr ono
from the secretary of the Young
glen's Christian association , discontinuing
the paper nnd containing Insulting language.
The witness received a ( ; rc.it deal of ubuslvo
CorrcsiKMidciico , some signed ana some of it
anonymous. Just before election ho received
a letter fiom Nnckolls county containing the
startllnc information that If prohibition was
defeated the witness and Hon. J. L. Webster
Would have to dlo. The couuso pursued with
rolcrrnco to Rev. Henderson and another
clergyman was another instance of the boy
cott which was raised against Tun UCE.
Thcso two clergymen were editing n
paper Unown as Central West. 1'hoy '
linn rooms in The Bee building , and tbo wit-
tiess was Informed that \voroboycottcd
by some of their patrons aud Informed that
they could iiot have their support until they
moved out of The J3oo building. Tbo papci
did not t ko part in politics , nt least nol
until utter election. The boycott was acalusl
the witness nnd not ngalnst the ministers ,
There bavo licon a great many threats
and letters from all parts of the
Btato from parties representing all causes ,
It was claimed by some of them that the
mortgage on THE Bur. bulldtnir bad beer
wholly paid by iho whlsuy ring.
At this Juncture Mr. Hall stated that b <
wanted all the letters referred to , clthoi
signed or unsigned , to bo introduced in evl
donee nnd rend to tliu notaries. Mr. Rose
\vatcr stated that bo wanted to keep them as
nouvonlrs for the future , but It was agreed
kot they should bo read before tbo notaries
lanucopios of them takon.
Cross-einintnation The witness bollovec
that ho bad lost considerable , money by the
I boycott. Could not toll how much tbo bust
.ness of Tan DUE had fallen off in couso
quonco. Ho could not estimate it , but It wa :
both lu Omaha aad outside : The witness die
not realize thai Omaha's course bad arrayoc
the rest of the state against It. Behoved thn
certain parties were trying to accompllsl
that very thing. Did not think that past olcc
tlons in this city hod tended in that direction
Mr. Lamb , who was conducting the crass
examination , insisted that tbo witness thouli
answer questions just as ho wanted to havi
blm , hut the witness informed him that tit
must answer the questions in bis owu wiij
nnd then proceeded to say that bo Icnow tba
nome peoplu were against Omaha.
"Do you think it right for the bankers an <
wealthy men of the state to as
soclato themselves and use tliel
great wealth to defeat any measure thai
tuoy mljjht not favorl" was the next questloi
propounded by Mr. Lamb , wuo was apnar
catty trying to resolve the contest Into a ligh
between capital and labor.
"It depends on the measure , " was the ans
wer. "If it is a dangerous mcaburo thoj
would certainly have a right to unite ii
working for its defeat. "
The witness did not regard Powers as bo
Jag generally known in Omaha ; ia fact , com
parattvoly , bo was not known at all hero
I'm : Bui : gave it out that Powers favorei
prohibition measures. The object ot th
Bankers' and Business Men's nssociatioi
was to defeat tbo prohibitory amendment
nnd all tlielr actions were in that direction
They did not favor a sentiment , but on tli
contrary they opposed ti sentiment. On
] ) on > oa 'had just us good a right to advocat
his belief as another. The forclgi
element constituted perhaps one-thin
of the vote of Douglas county
" -Tho Bankers' and Business Men's associn
tlon did not intend to carry out auy measure
beyond the one for which It was organized
nnd It any ono did anything unlawful ih
association did not contemplate it. The wit
ness was present at meetings of the associn
tlon when political measures to bo used at th
polls were discussed. These methods wer
the printing : of ttctocts. The oxccutlv
committee mot several times , but did no
employ any ono to act at the poll :
The polls were reached In the ordinary wa
by politicians. Mr. Blake was paid $000 fo
Jiavhig tickets printed , luUf for and 1ml
against the aineniliiiont. Ho was to send th
ramplos for Inspection but failed to do sc
Blake was not subject to the call of the exec
utlvo committee , and tbo witness did nc
know what ho did with the money. The a ;
soclatlon received quite a number of letter
from farmers who were opposed to proh
billon and wanted to work against 1
Tno association bad perhaps fifteen or twont
of thorn work with tholr teams hauling vo1
ore. and they sent in their bills of $3 or $1
each for that service and were nald.
Mr. Lamb wanted to know If the wltnca
thought it would bo right ana proper for Ja
Gould mm a number of his associates to com
bore with $5,000,000 aud attempt to carr
uch meusiu-oa as they might .favor. Th
witness replied that Jay GnulJ was not a cl
izon of Nebraska , and such action woul
lie improper. Ho considered it pci
foctly legitimate for the men wti
owned the property of the state to take sue
measures as necessary to protect their pro ]
' erty aud prevent commercial paralysis , na
to prevent and oppose any sucb action by a
Jbo legitimate moans in their powc ;
Motors veto upon fuudamomtal law , and i
that rcupoot ovary vtrtor Is a legislator. Tli
right to use roouuy depended upon whether :
, Tvent for arguments , publications , whisky c
votes. The taxpayers of the state have a rigli
to protect themselves against tbo tax-oaiors
The witness thought it perfectly logltlmat
for people to associate themselves together t
protect their Interests. He know that th
Inaoiionuent candidates were mostly farmer
Didn't Inquire what candidates were furore
l y men who furnished money. Candidate
thus tavored would naturally got the hulk c
support. Less than $1,000 of the money <
the association was expended i
Omaha. Outside of the city the or-
; antzcrs employed were mostly republicans ,
toegon was nn old tlmo republican , and the
witness hnd always been afllllntpd with tbo
republican party. Ho thought the Personal
iylits league workers were mostly demo-
rati ,
Tlio committee bail not mot since election
o consider the action of the
'crsonnl rights league on election day ,
L'hoy were not responsible to tbo league In
any way. Thn association never lias ap-
irovcd or adopted the nation of the Jcnguo.
f violence was used or corruption adopted It
vns never approved bv the association to the
tnowlcdec of the wltiifss. If any outlawry
vas committed at the polls it was without
ho Knowledge or connivance of the Bankers'
nnd Business Men's ' association. The asso
ciation wanted to do the other thing and pre
vent everything of that kind.
Ko-alrect examination The Independent
state platform was the snmo general nroposl-
Ion as constituted the heading for tbo call
'or the convention. There was no plaiik la
'uvor of prohibition. I'owors sought to give
out In this city that ho was opposed to prohi
bition. As the witness understood It 1'owers
, vas asked tbo question and stated that he
induct contributed anything to the problbl *
-Ion campaign. Tbo witness know so
'ow Independents In this county
.hat ho gave them llttlo attention.
Dnoof their men was a candidate on another
.ickct nnd still did not got eloctod. It was
list as legitimate and honest for the
Dankors aud Business Men's association to
spend money to oppose the amendment ns It
was for the prohibitionists to spend money In
support of It. The witness did not think that
-ho money expended to defeat prohibition
imd anything to do with tlio defeat of J. 11.
Powers for governor. Tlio money that was
expended was nn educational fund
and It was needed to show that all honesty ,
: cmporanco and sobriety docs not rest with
tbo prohibition party. The prohibitionists
wanted to buy copies of the Bcattlco debate
until they read them and thou they didn't '
want them any longer. They did not want
any copies of the Grand Island debates.
The witness was excused and turned over
.o the attorneys on the Powers sldo of tuo
uberuutorial case.
AT TUB I'OWI'UtS * TABL/Ii
Mr. Koseivntor Iteiuiiucs His Hevlow
or the Atitl-l'rotilhltlon Fichl.
The prohibition attorney at the Powers'
.able resumed tbo direct examination of Mr.
Iloscwator , at the point where ho loft oft
Wednesday afternoon.
The witness said that bo understood that
some members of the .Bankers' nnd Business
Men's association went to Peorla at ono tlmo
to see how much could bo contributed by the
whisky trust , but were repelled ni d got a
good deal of snubbing , und came homo with
out any. The whisky trust did offer
1,000 , but the association thought It
too small nnd would not take it.
The witness made a verbal agreement with
Moores that all naturalisation p.ipcrs issued
on bis order would bo paid for at the end of
tbo campaign. These -papers were properly
certified to , put la packages and sent to the
ofllco of tbo association , whore they were
called for by the proper parties before they
went to register. Did not know of any being
taken away from the parties after they
had registered. If they were it was done
by parties who had other axes to grind.
Supposed that foreigners were rnaJo to under
stand that it was an important election and
that they must register before they could
vote. Each party had woracrs to look after
the foreign vote. The association paid out
probaoly between $200 nnd SiOO for carriage
lilro during the campaign , for taking voters
to bo registered. The political parties hired
nil carriages on election day. Did not know
which ward most of the .foreigners
came from , but supposed from the wards
where the poorer classes principally resided.
The association paid for their papers and saw
that they were registered anu then took
chnccs ou their voting for the amendment.
Three or four men were employed in looking
after registration. Did not tlilnk that the
committee had anything to do with watching
to see that all naturalized parties were regis
tered. Noticed personally what the reported
registration was from day to day. In wards
wlipro tboy were lax about regis
tering the witness did what ho could
to see that tboy were fully registered ,
Mr. Boyd was the only candidate for gov
ernor who stood squarely against the pro
hibitory amendment and stated that ho
wonld veto a bill to pass statutory prohibi
tion. Ho was the only candidate committed
against the amendment so far as wo could
understand. Money was contributed to de
feat prohibition and not to elect any
particular candidate for governor. The
citizens of Omaha , "and perhaps other
cities naturally discussed what would
tie the result if prohibition was
defeated at the polls and wanted a candidate
who would oppose statutory prohibition.
Did not Icnow wlmt had become of the books
of the Bankers and Business Men's associa
tion , but the vouchers nnd stubs had been
destroyed. When thov abandoned their
rooms In Tun Buu building they destroyed n
lot of old paners that had 'accumulated.
There was n distribution of all the available
assets similar to that followed by
tbo legislature , nnd ono waa given
n chair , another a desk , eta Dif-
crcnt ones had a different memento ,
Mr. Coe was given a desk. This was about c
week after the election. 3horo was n tremen-
mendous lot of rubbish nnd it was gathered
in a basket and destroyed nnd the basket pre
sented to tbo Jnnltor. No one employed hj
Tim BEG acted as assistant to Coo. Ho onv
ployodlils own assistant , S. W. .Niles had
no more to do with it than had Powers' prohibition -
hibition attorney. The auditing committee
was composed of Messrs. Kountzo , Millard ,
Yates nnd Murphy , but the witness could not
say whether they ever had anything to do ,
Did not think the treasurer's books wore or
hand there , as they were not kept there. Did
not know their present whereabouts , as h
had never seen thorn. Never saw the sub
Rcrlption lists , accounts or books o :
the association. There was Intense
fueling in the city ou the question ol
prohibition up to the day of cloctioa. There
was a trcnci-.il understanding that the pro
hibltionists intended to obstruct the cloctloi
in every way to ktfep the vote down
This idea was advance ! by prohibi
tionists who talked about it on the streets ,
The reporters came in from tlmo to time anc
stated that It was common talk. It was gen
erally believed that the polling places wouU
not suflleo for a full vote and that some pro
clnctswould bo crowded. Souio precinct !
bad about ono thousand "votes
which would mnko close work. Tin
council nearly or qulto doubled tbo pollltif
places , but still failed to carry out the platte
to have no inoro than MX ) votes In a precinct
It is not customary to have challenger !
when registration Is closely attended to
The object of challenging is to ascertain
the eligibility of voters. Registering doe :
away with challenging at the polls , as thi
challenging is done by the registrar. It I :
very dlfllcult to proven t the Illegal vote ;
from going in unless the challenger know :
everybody. Tun UBE printed nn editorial ad
vising realstane-o to an attempt to obstrucl
voters "by illegal challenges.
The witness identified a copy of Tun BEI
of October 27 , which hnd a circulation of bo
twcen 10,000 nnd l',000 , in Omaha on tha
dato.
Persons engaged in the campaign here fron
spring to full were not molested , but person :
brought hero near election time to try to ge
up contests over registration and to misreprc
seat the action of census enumerators am
pry into private apartments and desks wer
regarded ns sneaks and plotters. WItnos
had been Informed by Census Supervise
Cooke that bis ofllco at Lincoln hnd beci
broken open and papers stolen , and witness
private ofllco was twice entered hotweei
1 nnd 2 o'clock in tbo morning and desks ran
sacked and papers found upside down. Tin
prohibitionists claimed to have boon making
search for such evidence. Before Mr. Mofta
died they forged bis name to a letter the
wrote to Louisville , and then Toatcd a box ii
tbe-postofllooin lie name of Thomas Mortal
and naa the reply directed to thnt box mini
her , hoping to Und out something in thn
manner. The witness did not knov
that tbeso parties were prohibition
ists , hut was certain that they wort
In the employ of tha prohibitionists
Their man Johnson was scon in TIIK Bi :
building thrtxj or four times and was sus
pooled of the burglary. Johnson was th
man charged with sending out lying telt
grams about this city and the conduct of ol
fairs hero. Never heard thnt TIIK Iiie pal
a man $ JOO to go to Lincoln nnd abstrac
the mailing list from the ofllco of th
Call. TDK RUB has a largo list c
farmers. Told the night watchman t
break tbo Interloper's neck If ho caught hh
there again. Had parties looking after Join
son. Bent word of the burglary to tha chic
of police , and bad several detectives lookln
after those fellows who were Imported Int
Omaha. "Would not say anything ngalust a
of tbo problbltlon leaders , but thcro were
nome unscrupulous scoundrels among thorn.
A man who would send out such telegrams
B they did would break open a do.sk.
Wolfonbarpor sent n telegram to the New
York Voice , representing that ho was in this
city and smv prostitutes bossing tbo election ,
Novcr ad vised , the disturbance of meetings ,
but the prohibitionists did advise boycotting
witness. Never assorted that the state had
no right to pass a prohibitory law.
nnd 1 ( TUB Bnr. stated anything of
the kind ho was not aware of It.
It was not the policy of the association to in
stitute a system of boycott Witness statenl
Unit several of his employes were prohibi
tionists , and ho presumed they voted for tbo
amendment , If Mr. Coo stated that n mer
chant who refused to contribute would bo
placed on the bliclc list It was n case of In
timidation nnd not of boycott. If Tin : BEC
attempted to boycott a business man of this
city It was without the consent of the wit
ness.
The crow-cxnmlnntlon of Mr. Kosowater
was dnforrcd until n future occasion.
Messrs. Hedges , Bowles , Cameron. Miller
and PlonuU were introduced to tell what
occurred at South Omaha on election day.
Henry Voss nnd Sol Prlnco also furnished
their quota of political happenings.
William A. Pnston rehearsed"tbo story of
hU connection \vltli tlio finance committee of
the Bunkers' nnd Business Men's association.
Ho snld that ho would have supported Mr.
Klchards If he had declared himself , ns ho
supposed the republicans would bo victorious
as usual. Tlio prohibition yucstlon over
shadowed everything.
Fred Davis , cashier of the First National
bank , was called , and asked whether ho was
willing , for n reasonable compensation , to
make a copy of the account of Mr. Charles
11. Coo , treasurer of the Bankers'
and Business Men's association , and
furnish It to tlio notaries lu tbo
'owcrs-Boyd case. Ho stated thnt s'ueh a
ramtcript waa being -rondo nnd would bo
completed anil delivered during the forenoon.
Tbo witness was therefore excused with the
understanding that ho would bo recalled for
further examination when tbo transcript was
delivered.
A. Miller sworn Vlsltod the polling
place in the Second district of the Third
kvard on the night of election , and found ono
clerk and ouo Judge there. After awhJlo the
clerk went up stairs.
The special quality of Avar's Hmr Vigor Is
that it restores the natural growth , color , nnd
toxtuio of the hair. It vitalizes the roots and
follicles , removes dandruff , and heals itching
humors in the scalp. In this reaped , It sur
passes all similar preparations.

for Ills KiitertiiiiiniOH t
by the Newspaper Men.
The newspaper men of Omaha assembled
at tbo press club room yesterday afternoon
o devise plans for the reception to bo ten
dered Henry M. Stanley during his stay in
3maha. Hon. E. Rosewater of Tun Br.u was
elected cimlrman , nnd C. S. Conner of the
iVorld-Horald secretary. Mr. W. T.
larrlmoro of the business college
addressed the meeting , saying that they had
arranged for n banquet , but Major Pond lind
wired that Stunley did not care for a banquet
nnd nothing more Imd been dono. Ho hnel
already arrauccd for a number of ncrsons to
occupy seats on the stugo nnd to attend the
junquot at tno Millard hotel , but would bo
compelled to cancel these arrangements. Ho
said that Stanley would probablv arrive on
Wednesday aud remain until 'Wednesday
moraine.
Mr. Kosowatcr stated that while In "Wash-
.OKton ho learned from Major Pond that
Stanley-was suffering from indigestion , and
waa averse to partaking of banquets. He
was nervous nua preferred to remain quiet ,
llo had received a telegram yesterday
from Major Pond asking If ar
rangements were perfected and in
harmony with tbo business college
people. Ho ( Mr. Koscrwnter ) thought that a
jrlvo about the city In company with some of
his old acquaintances would bo desirable.
Major Howard thought that It would bo
best to wnituntU Stanley arrived before com
pleting arrangements.
Mr , O'Brlon said that he hnd observed
through tbo papers recently that Stanley as a
rale had refused all invitations to entertain
ment's excepting throa instances.
Mr. Ilosowatcr suggested that It would bo
better to wait until Major Pond replied to a
telegram and make arrntigomouts then. Ho
thought tbo reception should be held la the
press club rooms. Ho would arrange n room
adjoining to bo used in conjunction with the
club room.
Major Corey thought the best plan
to entertain would bn a drive in com
pany with his old acquaintances ,
und on his motion n committee of seven , with
Mr. Uosewatcr as chairman , was appointed
to make the necessary arrangements for the
entertainment. The committee , consisting
of E. Hosewater , G. M. Hitchcock , 0. S.
Connor , W. E. HardW. . It Vaughn , Victor
E. Bender and Frederick Schnuake , was ap
pointed.
Mr. Snyder moved that a commlttoo of five
he appointed as a reception committee. Mr.
J. B. Haynes suggested that the newsynpcr
proprietors with ether citizens constitute
the committee. Mr. Fitzmorria moved that
the executive committee take full coutrol of
all arrangements and that they be given
authority to add outsldo persons. Carried.
Mr. Snydjjr moved that Mrs. S.TX llorka-
low , Mrs. C. H. Brown , Mrs. H. W. Yules ,
Mrs. G. M. Hitchcock and Mrs. E. JlosO'
water bo requested to constitute a committee
toarrange a reception for Mrs. Stanley a1
the hotel. Carried.
Mr. Ilosowuter has called a mooting of the
committee on arrangements for 2 o'clock this
