EDITOR ROSEWATER IN COCRT
Brought Up Before Judge Scott on a Charge
of Contempt ,
ASKS THAT HE BETRIED BY ANOTHER JUDGE
Mnllnii for n Cliiuigo of Ventin on Arrount
of llio Court1 * Prrjmllro Oirrrnli'il by
the Court Sparring for Points
Other Court Matter * .
To secure anything but standing room In
the criminal division of the district court
yesterday morning was one of the Impossi
bilities. Lawyers , prominent business men ,
and these from the lower walks of life were
In attendance. The attraction was the fact
that Mr. E. Roscwatcr , editor of The Bee ,
would bo called before Judge Scott to answer
to an alleged charge of contempt , the court
having caused the filing of an Information
against Mr. Uoscwater on account of the
Jardlne matter , the facts In which were
published In The Bee on March 0.
The court Journal of last Saturday had
been read and some minor court matters
bud been disposed of when the alleged con
tempt case was called.
Mr. Rosewater ut once stepped to a posi
tion before the bar , fltatlng that he had a
motion , asking that the hearing of the case
be transferred to the court of some other
Judge.
Immediately ho was Interrupted by the
judge , who stated that he could not hear
Mr. Hosewatcr until after the Information
bad been read.
The long document was read , after which
the court asked , "Aro you guilty , or not
Kiillty ? " and "What have you to say why
you should not be punished for contempt ? "
Mr. Rosewater Your honor
The Court Just n moment.
Mr. Rosewuter Will you allow me a
question ?
The Court Just hold a minute. This Is
the court room. Just u moment. What
have yon to say why you should not bo
punished for contempt ? Now I will hear yon.
Mr. Rosewater I have a motion to offer
hero first , that this cause be transferred
for trial before one or more of the other
judges of this court , on account of the hos
tility of Judge C. R. Scott , as is fully set
forth In the following affidavit :
MOTION FOR CHANGE OF VENUE.
"Mr. Hosewater , being first duly
Kworn , deposes and says that he Is the de
fendant herein. Affiant further says that
lie Is well acquainted with Judge C. R.
Bcott and has known him for some years
last passed. Affiant believes and therefore
alleges the fact to be that he cannot have a
fair and Impartial trial before the said
Judge C. H. Scott herein on account of the
pronounced hostility of the said judge to
this affiant , and that ho docs not believe
that the said Judge Scott will give this
affiant justice upon the trial of this case.
Affiant further says that the court of the
Fourth judicial district Is composed of seven
judges , and that If afllunt Is guilty herein
It Is against the court and not against any
particular judge ; that the same objections on
the ground of bias and prejudice , as affiant
lias stated , existing against the said Judge
C. It. Scott , do not exist In any ot the
other Judges , viz : Hon. A. N. Ferguson ,
Hon. M. R. Hopewell , Hon. George W. Am
brose , Hon. W. W. Kcysor , Hon. J. H.
lllalr or Hon. W. C. Walton , any one or
nil of whom alllunt believes will give this
affiant a fair and Impartial trial. And
further afilant salth not. " 1 desire that
this court puss upon this motion before thin
trial is begun , or before H goes any further.
The Court I should certainly do that
whether you asked the court or not. That
Is the law. ( Laughter. ) I should not proceed
to trial without passing upon the motion
llrst. ( Here the court looks at Mr. Rose-
water'H motion which was handed up to him
by Mr. Rosewattr. ) 1 will read that ( the
motion ) aloud and sec what Is In It : "Ed
ward Hosewater , being firfct duly sworn ,
deposes and says that he Is the defendant
herein. Affiant further says that ho Is well
acquainted with Judge C. R. Scott and has
known him for some years lust passed. " ( The
Court Yes. wo have been pretty well ac
quainted. ( Laughter. ) "Afilant bolleves , and
therefore alleges the fact to be that ho can
not have a fair and Impartial trial before
paid Judge C. R. Scott heroin on account of"
( pausing ) who spelled who wrote that new
word In there ?
Mr. Rosewater I wrote It.
The Court You did not spall It right. You
meant to say "preconceived hostility. "
Mr. Rosewater U Is "pronounced. "
The Court ( reading ) "of the said judge
to this affiant , and that ho docs not believe
that the said Judge Scott will give this
nfilant justice upon the trial of this case.
Affiant further says that tiie court of the
Fourth judicial district Is composed of
seven judges , and that if ulllant is guilty
herein It Is against the court and not against
nny particular Judge ; that" the same objec
tions existing on the ground of bias and
prejudice as affiant lias stated , against
the said Judge C. H. Scott , do not
exist against the said and that the same
objections on the ground of bias and preju
dice as affiant has stated exist against the
nald Judge C. R. Scott. " Do you mean
that ?
Mr. Hosowatcr What Interpretation does
your honor put upon that ?
The Court That the same objections on
the ground of bias and prejudice , as affiant
has stated , existing against the said Judge
C. H. Scott. Do you wantto remove this
because you are prejudiced against the Judge
or because thu judge Is prejudiced against
you ?
Mr. Rosewater -Because the judge ! s
prejudiced against me.
Tile Court You do not state It so.
Mr. Rosewater If your honor desires It
nmcndcd we will amend It.
IT IS OVERRULED.
The Court I will let you amend any
thing and put In anything you
want to. ( Reading ) "Do not exist
ugulnst any ot the other judges
nny one or all of whom uflllant be
lieves will give this afilant a fair and Im
partial trial. ( Signed ) Edward Rosowater.
Subscribed and sworn to before me , Ed
ward Slmeral. " You can't do that , Mr.
Itosewalcr.
Mr. Rosewater Will your honor note an
exception and make It of record ?
The Court Just one moment. It Is the
nettled law ot this country that a judge
holding court , a judge of a court recognized
by the constitution of the state , holding a
court. Is the solo and only judge to take
cognizance ot transactions In his court and
about his court. It has been decided tlmo
and again that one judge whose court has
been--against whose court a contempt has
lii'eii made , cannot bo transferred to another
judge or another court or another docket.
) t cannot be done , because they would have
no JurUdlctlon to pass sentence. That
lias been decided tlmo and again , that n
Judge of a court the Judge of this court Is
responsible alone , as the judge of this court ,
fur what Is said and done about his court
that amounts to a contempt. You may just
a1 * well nay you may Just as well nay that
If there was a contempt In open court here
against the judge of the court that well , he
la prejudiced against mo and I don't want
to try that case before him and 1 move to
have It taken before another. Suppose we
continue that a little further. Suppose that
Judges If this Is the rule no fact la stated ;
but suppose we wereto start out on that
line , that that Is the rule. Here Is Judges
Ferguson , Hopcwell , Ambrose , Keysor , Blair
and Walton. I haven't said anything against
Kosowater and there Is no allegation hero
that I have , that I hava expressed any hos
tile feelings toward him , not a word of U ;
but ho says Judge Scott Is prejudiced against
jne. That Is his affidavit. Why ? Manifestly
because ot publications , I suppose , against
Judge Scott. Now , Is thin true ? Then all a
party would uccd to do , to go unwhlpped of
charges for a contempt of court Is to allege
a prejudice ngalnal all the judges ot the
court. And who U going to try U ? That Is
not the law of this country. Mr. Rosewater ,
the motion to change the place ot trial will
bo overruled-
Mr. Kosewntcr I will euy this , without go.
ing Into an argument , with duo deference to
the court , that there are quite a number of
cases In this country where causes have been
transferred , and they have been so by the
judges themselves as u matter of delicacy
where their own court was assumed to bo
ewsallcd , NOIY , I will not go any further ,
but ask Uilg court wake a motion that this
court propound or submit to mo Interroga
tories In writing.
The Court Will you Just wait until wo
get through with ono thing at a time , Mr.
Rosewater ? There Is an order provided
by law that you arc not familiar with.
Mr. Rosewater I understand that this Is
the The Court No , no , I will hear you nftcr
awhile.
Mr. Roscwatcr Thcso Interrogatories
would simply bo to the point , to ascertain
whftlipr or not I have had any connection
with the publication.
The Court What are you talking about
now ?
Mr. Rosewater I am talking of asking
the court to do Just what Is usual In such
cases , and submit thcso Interrogatories to
the accused and let him answer them.
The Court I will ask you If you will
please hold your peace until I get a record
mode here.
Mr. Rosewater I will do that. I want , of
course , to note an exception , If your honor
please.
The Court Oh , of course. To what ?
Mr. Rosewater To this first ruling.
DELICACY NOT CONSIDERED.
The Court Certainly , certainly. When I
get tlmo or an opportunity to put It down I
will note your exception. It U said here ,
by the defendant , that It Is n common thing
for the court , on account ot delicacy , lo
transfer a cause to another court. Not
where the court's own court had been as
sailed. The courts would have no delicacy
In protecting the honor and dignity of his
own court. The Judge should have no deli
cacy whatever. In addition to that , I simply
know absolutely know that In this case ,
us It will bo tried against you In this court ,
you shall have nn absolutely fair trial. If
you itro guilty you will be punished.
If you are not guilty you will bo acquitted.
That Is the fact of thn matter. I know my
own heart. I think , about as well as any
body else knows It , and I know that I never
yet have had a case before me , or nn at
torney before me , or anybody before mo ,
no mutter what their feelings were , that
could truthfully go away , or did go away ,
or because of any feeling the court or the
Judge may have had against them , and say
they did not get a fair trial. I know you
will get a fair trial In this court. You shall
have It. I cannot afford to do anything else
but give you a fair trial. A Judge Is not
put upon the bench to use his power to tear
down the people because they do not like
him. That Is ono of the God's blessings
about the courts of this country ; they are
not organized to tear down people because
they have the power. They are organized
to administer the law without regard to who
the parties are before them , and whenever
I feel that I cannot and do not administer
the law witli an even hand , no mutter who
the party Is before mo , I will cease to be
judge of this court. I never have done It ;
I never will do It , Never do I do anything
but administer the law and keep my eye
on the law and the rights of the parties
and never think who the parties are. I
am not here for that purpose. I would be
degrading myself In my own estimation to
do anything else. I have noted your excep
tion , Mr. Rosewater.
Mr. Hosewater Now , your honor , I renew
the motion that Interrogatories bo submitted
In writing , either by the court or by some
attorney designated for that purpose , to as
certain what relation or knowledge I have
had with regard to the article complained of.
I am not here to shirk any responsibility ,
and I will not avail myself of any privilege
which the law confers upon parties accused
by refusing to answer any question put tome
mo concerning this publication. But It seems
to me that some effort should be made to ns-
cejtaln what connection I have had with the
matter complained of , and that is the motion
I would like to make and ask the court to
pass upon.
The Court Has your answer been filed In
lids ca.sc ?
Mr. Hosewater There has been ; but I had
Intended to read
The Court Lot ns see It. ( Mr. Rosewater
hands a paper to the court ) . This a very
lengthy answer or what I ? called an answer.
I am not prepared to say whether It Is a plea
confession In avoidance , or what It Is. If
a plea of confession and avoidance , I have a
very clear way out of It , and there Is no
work In the way. If it a plea of avoidance
there can be no plea of avoidance without a
plea ot confession. You cannot plead an
avoidance unless you confess , and the confes
sion must bo as broad as the avoidance.
That , I understand , to be the law. Were you
wanting to say something ?
Mr. Hosewator Well , I am through.
The Court Well , wait until I get through.
I will give you ample time , sir. ( Laughter. )
I shall have to take a little time to examine
this plea and answer. I am not able to
say from tlio hasty one-reading. I am not
able to say whether It IK a plea of confession
in avoidance or not. As f said , If It Is , the
roaa out Is very short very short I think It
Is I think it Is. and I just want to have
tlmo to consider this answer. And I will ad-
joirn | the further hearing of this matter
until tolnorrow morning for the purpose ot
examining this answer. You will bo here
will you ?
Mr. Rosewatijr Certainly , sir. At what
hour ?

Mr. Wood , the small pox patient , Is
being nursed by Dorsoy Houck and Is get
ting along OB well as could bo expected.
Dr. Savlllo says the case Is a mild one
and ho has no fear but that the patient
will recover. Everything has been ar
ranged In thn tent to make the patient HH
comfortable as possible.
All the men who were exposed by having
been In the company of Wood have been
vaccinated by Dr. Towno and will bo closely
watched so that If the. disease uhould de
velop they can bo taken In tlmo and cared
for. The season of the year Is favorable to
check the spread of the diseaseIn case U
should break out. The men vaccinated by
Dr. Towno are : E. Weston , North 1'latto ;

of Ogden were also around considerable
with Wood , but they left for their respect

for certain that the patient was suffering
from , small pox. U Is presumed the dis
ease was contracted on the train , as Wood
was a brakeman. All necessary precautions
to prevent the spread of the disease are
being taken by the Board of Health.
Chief Scavey and a number of his men
were vaccinated yesterday. Dr. Savlllo saya
It would be a good Idea for parents to have
their children vaccinated at once , and many
are taking his advice.

At tlic thirteenth annual commencement
of tlio Oinnlm Medical college , which WHH
held at the Hoycl theater yesterday nftcr-
noon , a class ot seventeen young men took
formal leave of their alma mater ami went
out to begin their professional life. The
members of the graduating class arc : Andrew
G. Sandblncl , William C. Kcnncr , Frank \V.

tetter , James Discard , Fred R. McKceby ,

The right of the Htoge was occupied by
thu members of the class ami to the left sat
the members of the faculty , half concealed
behind a table loaded with flowers and nn
easel containing a composite photograph of
the class. The boxes were occupied by the
Immediate friends of the graduates and the
auditorium was Illled with people who were
Interested In the Institution and its pupils.
The celebrated overture from "Zampa"
was rendered with excellent taste by the
Iloyd theater orchestra , after which Itcv ,
John Gordon , D.D. , made the opening prayer.
Another selection from the orchestra pre
ceded the remarks of Dr. J. C. Denis ? , who ,
as dean of the faculty , briefly called atten
tion to the significance of the occasion. Ilo
said that the Omaha Medical college had
been organized In the fall of 1SSO , and that
It was a source of pride to him that he had
been one of the Incorporators and had ever
slnco been Intimately connected with Its
history. At the time of Its Inception some
had maintained that the venture was pre
mature , but the results had justified the
effort. The graduates of the Institution
were scattered all over the western jstates
and many of them had come to occupy the
highest position In their profession.
Continuing , the speaker deplored the lack
of Interest manifested by the public In an
enterprise of so much Importance to human
ity. Many people did not even know that
there was n medical college In Omaha. Their
attention wus too apt to be called away from
that which was elevating In their reckless
pursuit of the almighty dollar. Notwith
standing this the Institution had made
marked progress during Its thirteen years
of existence. It had materially advanced
the 'standard of admission and every appli
cant for admission must be the possessor of
a good general education. The course re
quired four years of study and attendance at
three terms of lectures of six months each.
The system of examination was very rigid
and every graduate was required to pass
at least fifteen distinct examinations before
he was considered competent to take his
diploma. Within the past year the manage
ment had erected a good four-story build-
Ing. The lecture room was large enough to
accommodate 2CO students , and the dis
pensary , laboratories and dissecting room
were supplied with every modern appliance
necessary for teaching all branches of the
profession ,
The degrees were conferred by Dr. W. S.
Glbbs , president of the board of trustees of
the college. In addressing the graduates
he complimented them on the diligence and
perseverence which had characterized their
thrco years of study. They had pursued a
course that no man without some natural
ability and previous preparation could suc
cessfully nccoiniillMi. In no department of
science was greater progress being made
than In medicine. liven" the older mem
bers of the profession hod to delve con
stantly Into new fields of research In order
to keep pace with the times , and the passing
by these young men of the numerous ex
aminations of the college course was an
achievement to bo proud of. After pre
senting the diplomas Dr. Glbbs said that the
members of the faculty would continue to
feel a. deep Interest In each one of the
graduates. They could only keep pace with
their profession by continual effort and
study. The medical research of the past
ten years had tended toward the discovery
of the causes of disease. These wcro now
pretty thoroughly understood , but medical
men were not equally familiar with the
best methods to bo employed In treating
these discuses. It was his opinion that
the efforts of the next ten years would bo
more especially directed toward finding a
way to cope with disease and It was In this
direction that ho advised the graduates to
pursue their Investigations. The close of
Dr. Glbbs' address was greeted with the
college yell.
ADDKRSS nV DR. KEUtR.
The address to the graduating class was
by Chancellor David H. Kcrr , D.D. , L.L.I ) .
In beginning , ho said : "Everything means
something. Every opportunity Is a call to
duty. This occasion means a good deal to
some of us and considerable to all of us.
Another class Is going out from its alma
mater to begin the real battle of life. I wish
you all to realize how much this means. It
means , first of all , that Omaha Is trying to
do something for herself and for the world
outside. Many do not realize just how much
this occasion means to Omaha and to the
world ut large. "
Dr. Kcrr asked his audience to look at the
Importance of the matter from a strictly
business standpoint , Lincoln had come to be
known as the educational center not only of
Nebraska but of a largo surrounding terri
tory. The educational Interests of the city
brought in fully $1,000,000 every year , The
students of Princeton college spend that sum
every year and the faculty of the college
expended as much more. Harvard university
brought even more than that to swell the
commercial prosperity of Cambridge. Ho
had heard a good deal of voting bonds for
the establishment of certain Industrial enter
prises. Omaha had voted bonds for railroads
and for a union depot and had not realized
very heavily on the Investment. It could not
do butter than to vote $1,000,000 In bonds
with which to place Its struggling university
on a broader and more solid basis. Such
Institutions did not get a corner on city
councils. They did not corrupt assessors ,
detract from good government or divide a
fat dlvdldcnd among their trustees.
Considering the advantages of a university
from the standpoint of culture , thu speaker
said that Its Influence was not confined to
those who entered Its walls , but went out
over the entire community. Many young
people were unabled to receive a higher edu
cation when such advantages were brought
close to their homes than they could other
wise obtain.
In discussing the question , "What can the
doctor , us a citizen , do for humanity ? "
the speaker dwelt ut considerable lengthen
on existing social conditions from the
ground of universal brothcrhpod. Socially
there was great unrest throughout the
world. There was a general discontent and
u clashing among the masses. Twice before
In the last 100 years had the mime conditions
been observed. One was before the reforma
tion , which brought with It relief from re
ligious despotism , and the second heralded
the French revolution , which wrought de
liverance from political despotism. It was
possible to hope that the present upheaval
was the forerunner of a deliverance from
economic and nodal despotism.
In conclusion , Dr. Kerr said that each
member of the iflnR.i started out with one or
both of two mtjtlvcB. One was to acquire
gain and the othtr was to benefit humanity.
Ho urged them to cultivate the latter , which
was the hlghcit dim that could Inspire their
efforts. It would bring a higher honor than
any other motlro which could rule them
and they should- Study the life of the Physi
cian of Nazaroth' , and like him endeavor to
live for others.

second went to. . W. L. Curtis. Those given

EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
tosi of l.l\n .Stork In Wyoming Has > < > !
Keen ( ircnt ,
Mr. Charles H. Wooley returned yes
terday from a two weeks' trip through
northern and eastern Wyoming. He says
that the reported losses of live stock In
Wyoming , by reason of the recent storms ,
have been very much exaggerated and over
estimated ,
"I was at Sheridan , " said Mr. Woolley
"just after the snow storm which had lasted
for seventy bourn. It was the heaviest fall
of snow that Wyoming has known for llf-
tecen years , but It was not very cold and the
snow was followed by a warm wave which
opened things up In short order. There Is
but little snow east and south of New
castle.
"Reports have been published to the effect
that dead cattle wore piled up all along the
Powder river. There Is no truth In that re
port. I was In that region and saw no dead
cattle , although I saw many herds grazing.
I talked with many cattlemen and they claim
that the losses from the effects of the storm
will not exceed L'C per cent Instead of from
50 to 75 per cent , as has been reported. "
Mr. Woolley Is highly pleased with north
ern Wyoming ! and says there will un
doubtedly be a.large emigration to the Illg
Horn basin country this year.

The prosecuting attorney has dismissed
the case against Will S. Adams , a young
man arrested on the charge of attempting
to rob a woman In the district. Adams
was with Charles Hay when Hay chloro
formed a cyprlan and attempted to' rob her ,
for which crime he was given fifteen years
In the penitentiary. He accompanied Hay-
on his visit to the house In question and
before going had purchased u bottle of chloroform
reform for Hay , who ho said wanted It for
the toothache. Adams says he was not In
the room with Hay and know nothing of the
attempt to chloroform the woman until after
the arrest had been made. The woman
who was the victim of the attempted rob
bery also swore on the witness stand In
court that Adams was not In her room and
took no part in the assault upon her.
The case against Adams was tried several
weeks ago and the Jury failed to agree ,
standing 10 to 2 In favor of ncqultal. The
county attorney made an Investigation of the
case and decided to dismiss It. Adams
says that Detectives Haze , Hudson and
Donohue swore against him at the trial

In Millions of Homes do Years tlie Standard
Wrll Proved liy Tlmp.
Time alone can furnish a true test of the
substantial success of any popular movement.
Great financial undertakings are sometimes
brilliant at the beginning , and for n short
tlmo go on In a sort of pyrotechnlcal way ,
which soon dies out. They do not have the
elements of perpetuity ; In other words , they
are not founded on principles which Insure
lasting success. This Is usually true of
movements that give the greatest promise
at the beginning , whllo some enterprises that
languish at first become deeply rooted In
tlmo and develop Into great and widespread-
Ing growths ,
An example In point Is standard \\to \ \ Insur
ance. Half n century ago the first com
panies wcro established In this country. For
a tlmo their progress was slow , but within
the last twenty years they have been making
splendid strides. The older the system of
regular life Insurance becomes the more
popular It Is , and this Is Its strongest possi
ble recommendation. The people know It by
Its fruits. Slnco the organization of the
American system of life Insurance- the regu
lar companies In this country have paid to
their policy holders $ Si.1l7iil"7. : Of this
amount $ Cflfifi3l,9fi7 has been In death claims
and $13(5,824,510 ( In endowments. This latter
figure Is one of the most remarkable of all ,
ns It shows onnrliislvply that In loi''t'niitp ' '
life Insurance ll < Is not necessary to "die to
beat the game , " ns the musty waying KOI-S.
Thousands of policy holders have lived to
themselves reap the benefit of their endow
ment policies. But great ns bus been the his
tory of American life Insurance In the past
It Is as nothing comp.ired with present pro
gress. Life companies are now paying to
their policy holders nearly $100,000.1100 an
nually , and legitimate life Insurance Is the
largest and most successful Interest of Its
kind In existence.

Dr. G. L. Miller , the newly appointed
surveyor of customs , took possession of the
olllco yesterday and Installed a new office
force , with the exception of Clerk H. A.
Snow , who will be retained for a time. One
of the Incidents of the change was the
presentation of the outgoing surveyor , W. H.
Alexander , by Mr. Snow , of Washington
Irvlng's "Knickerbockers" In two volumes.
The sentiments expressed In the presenta
tion and acceptance were such as to leave
no doubt as to the cordial relations existing
between the former head of the olfice and
his subordinates , and could but have been
gratifying to all concerned.

f Of course we should also rejoice over pleasant and
warm clays for the saka of seeing flowers bloom ,
birds sing- and nature invigorate , and the sun to
coax you to buy your spring suit ,
Your purse needs but precious little coaxing when
you enter the Nebraska. You who are familiar with
our doings , know that it is our constant aim to please
V
the masses , and extraordinary inducements are al
ways ready for popular trade.
This season we climbed a step higher , to the stee
ple of popularity , by preparing a feast of values. It'll
surprise even Bill Jones , who remembers the panic of
' 58.
58.We
We begin with a paltry $4 for a suit that is a good
value in the average store at $7 , and this way we
compare up to the honest , reliable $15 suit which the
Nebraska never dreams of charging you a cent above
a 10 bill.
* tv Above all , we consider ourselves unapproachable
on our particular value of Seveil fifty Suits.
Here they are : as desirable for dress as serviceable
\
for rough wear ; a dozen patterns of the latest spring
designs---homespuns , cheviot , silk mixed cassimere ,
Scotch tweed , single-breasted sack , double-breasted ,
one or four button , soft roll.
You'll favor us to compare one of 'em , if you
please , to the best you ever bought at between 12
A and 15 dollars.
