One of the pleasant recollections In con

SOITH OMAHA MOIRS9 THE DEATH
Magle City Strack by Force of Great
Bhork.
There waa no deviation from tfte univer
sal sentiment of sorrow expressed on the
death of Mr. Roaewater by the citiaens of
South Omaha. The noon paper were
elsed with anxiety by hundred who
wlahed to know t minute detalla of the
deafh.
F. 1. Etter, the venerable postmaater of
the city, aid:
"We have loat a great champion, a man
w can't spare. He died us I have often
thought he would In the harness. Th
machinery of his body, driven by ths un
Conquerable mind, working overtime for
years, simply came to a atandatill. I have
not the word to expre my grief, for he
waa a friend of mine. I knew he waa
working too hard. He had done more
work than twenty men. I have gone to
consult him, but have been obliged to go
at a very early hour or after I at night.
Then I often found six or more men wait
lng before me."
L C. Gibson, senator for this district,
said:
"Nebraska has lost on of th most bril
liant and active minds which ever chose
th west Mississippi as the field of labor.
I heard th news with th deepest regret.
I dun't think it was disappointment which
caused th fatal cloae. He had buffeted
too long with stubborn opposition not to
be fortified against defeat. It' was the re
volt of a poor human body against a mind
and soul too big for It to bear farther." -
David Anderson, a pioneer and old friend
of Mr. Roaewater, said:
"Nebraska and th city of Omaha loses a
man -who has worked longer and harder
for th good of the people than any other
man In the entire weat. You may say that
I place him first as a champion and. pa-
I trtot a wall as an abl politician, and ha
baa held that place in rxenraaKa tor tniny

LINCOLN, Aug. l.-(8pedal Telegram.
Attorney General Norrls Brown made the
following written statement:
"The news of Mr. Rosewater's death
came aa a great shock. I feel It Is a per
sonal losa. On many matt era far th last
two yeara he has been my personal friend
and adviser. It is hard to realise that he
is gone for the last talk I had with him
last ' week he seemed so well and strong
and cheerful.
"The state and nation will feel the loss
of his aggressive abilities, always em
ployed for what he deemed the public good.
I have known him for eighteen years and
have always been a firm believer In his
fidelity to friends and In his sincerity on
all public questions. His life wa a con
tinuous struggle, in which A wa alwaya
fighting for or agalnat meaaurea and men
a hia Judgment and the public welfare
suggested. His place in the state can never
be filled as hs filled It. H wa the most
Interesting and forcible character In Ne
braska for th last quarter of a century."
"I hav known Mr. Roaewater ever sine
h startad the Omaha Bee," aald Governor
Mickey when asked for an expression on
the career of ths dead journalist. "I be
came acquainted .with htm at a stats con
vention arid frequently thereafter met him
at similar gathering. At th convention
last week I saw and spoke to him casually
and also Introduced some, members of th
Polk county delegation to him. I thought
he allowed great strength and vigor at
that tlm. I waa pleaaed with hi speech
to the convention and said 'amen' several
times' whils" he was delivering it.
"Mr. Roaewater waa a builder. Hs was
energetic and untiring In hia efforts to
advance thing of general Intereat to
Nebraska. 80 far' a state matters are
concerned. I never knew him to advocate
anything that was not for Nebraska's wel
fare. It Is a fact that In atat matter he
ha been a most Influential man and has
dons much good by supporting good thing
and unearthing bad things.
"While we did not always agree, yet our
relations were always pleasant and w
never had a quarrel. Mr. Rosewater wa
free to express whatever views he enter
tained, though they might be ' different
from mine, but h treated m respectfully
at all times, as I did him. Ons of the
thing we disagreed on befor I became

he came to us and asked If we could giv
him certain employment from t In the
morning until f In the afternoon. Ho
worked for the bank for quit a long time,
at the same time working aa night opera
tor and publishing The Bee, so you tan
Imagine how little rest he got. Thla wa
characteristic of his energy.-. While Mr.
Rosewater and myself were on friendly
terms In a general way, he usually opposed
me In political matters. Owing to hi great
ability I took much pleasure In going to
the president and asking that Mr. Roae
water be sent a a delegate from the
United States to the postal congresa at
Rome. I believe It was upon my personal
recommendation, backed by Senator Bur
kett, that the president mtde the' appoint
men. In matter of general Information
very few men In Nebraska or anywher
els were better equipped than Mr. Roae
water. Louis V. Guys, Former President Central
Labor Union In the death of Edward
Roaewater organized labor has lost one of
Its very best friends. I think I voice the
sentiment of all the union men In Omaha
when I ssy hs was one of our best friends
at all times. W went to him for advice
and for assistance and he never refused ua,
either. His death la a grat blow to all of
us and wa sincerely regret It,
Frank A. Broadwell, Clerk of the District
Court I was very much shocked to hear
of the Untimely death of Mr. Rosewater.
He has been very actively Identified with
the development of the state for many
yeara and hia death will be greatly de
plored by all citiaens regardless of political
affiliation. He was a man of very strong
Character and positive opinions and his In
fluence haa been marked In the develop
ment of the state and city.
Fred Brunlng, Chairman of the County
Board Mr. Roerwater was one of the
greateet men I ever knew and he did much
for the development of the west. He was
always willing to use his influence for the
upbuilding of the state and city. His In
fluence In politics was always exerted In
behalf of honest and efficient government.
Jtev. John Williams, Rector of St. Barna
bus Church While I did not agree with
Mr. Rosewater in some things I cannot
help but feel what all must, that Omaha
and Nebraaka have loat a strong Champion
and a staunch friend. He was a most abl
and upright cltlsen and hia loss cannot
help but be felt by the entire' community.
Postmaater H. E. Palmer Hia was a
wonderful life, a continual battle royal,
regardless of enemies made, regardless of
consequences. No one will deny Edward
Rosewater was a great man; wonderfully
smart, wonderfully energetic. He waa the
hardeat working man I ever knew. Night
and day he was always on deck. His laat
talk was to the old soldiers at Waterloo
yesterday. He was a man whom all Omaha
loved as a public-spirited cltlsen, who
worked Ih season and out of season for the
upbuilding of this city. Everyone most
deeply sympathises with th bereaved
family.
Casper S3. Tost, President Nebraska Tele
phone Company H was a foremost cltlsen
of th weat, a loyal friend of Omaha and
of Nebraska. He did more to th up
building of Nebraaka than any on man.
In the early days he wa always foremost
In ths upbuilding of Omaha and never
ceased bis labors for the welfare of the
state and city.
B. H. Barrows, Collector of Cu'tomr
For over thirty yeara he ha been th
loyal champion of Nebraska and Omaha.
He waa a type of - that great claaa of
Journalists whoso personality waa really
greater than the paper he created. He
belonged to the school of such men as
George D. Prentloe, Horace Groeley,
Charles A. Dana, the elder Bennett and
Henry J. Raymond. He cam to Omaha
considerably over a third of A century
ago an humble teVgrapher, and by his
Indomitable and ceaseless energy left aa
his monument a 1700,000 building and th
greatest newspaper west of Chicago.
D. 1. Sinclair, Fostofnc Inspector He
waa In all essentials a great man. He
was one of the pioneer builders of the
west. Nebraaka and Omaha owe him a
debt of gratitude they can nver repay.
He waa courageous, aggreaalve, benevo
lent, and above all Intensely loyal to the
groat tranamlasourl country for which
he has been the chief spokesman for
nearly half a century.
C. E. Llewellyn, Division Superinten
dent Rural Free Delivery I have known
him sine 187J. He wa at all tlmoa
broadmtnded and great. He waa the moat
valuable cltlsen of Nebraaka. I knew
him as a friend and can say f him from
many years of personal acquaintance, that
h was as broad In his charltlea aa In
his intellect and was a man of unbounded
benevolence.
John C. Wharton I have austained a tre-
mendoua personal losa In th death of fc'ii
great man. Edward Rosewater waa my
ataunch friend. I loved him and felt re
paid that ha gave me of hi friendship,
that h admitted me to the chamber of hi
big heart and reposed confidence In ma.
But aald from my personal loss and th
personal loaa of every other on of hi
friend, this death Is a sever stroke to the
city, the state, the nation. Edward Rose
water's power. Influence, . his usefulness,
his splendid example, his guiding wisdom
and his superior counsel these were not
merely local factors they were national lu
their scope.' And th greet men of this
nation who knew him, who counseled wlta
him, will bear tribute and testimony to this
fact. I could not, for words ar weak,
expreaa my feelings of sadness and sorrow
at the calamity wftlch ha fallen so heavily
upon us. I can only mourn with th reat
and ahar the prtd that Nebraskans all
must feel that he waa oura.
O. W. Llnlnger Mr. Rosewater. in my
opinion, was the greatest newspaper writer
In th west. He knew the pulse of th
people better than any man I ever knew.
I becam associated with him thirty year
ago and hav been closely connected with
rilm alnce. H wa ons of th ablest men
that ever lived In - Nebraaka and hs haa
bsen Identified with' Nebraska's progress
aa much, if not more, than any one man.
He was on of th most charitable men t
ever knew, and though In debt a great
portion of th time, b never refused to
contribute to charity when called upon
and always contributed more than he could
afford. He never" forgot, a friend. I know
of many occasions he helped men merely
because hVy hsd called upon him wnile
sick or who had dons something hs ap
preciated. Mr. Roaewater was a great man
and his death la a severe shock to me.
Charles J. Lane, First Assistant General
Freight Agent of' the Union Pacific Ed
ward Rosewater was always for Oman
and put every dollar he ever earned on our
soil. He has defended' this city while
others slept. 1
Congressman John L. Kennedy I was
shocked and surprised when I reached
Omaha thrs forenoon to leara of Mr. Rose
water sudden death. Jug Estells and
I drov ot to Waterloo yesterday vgalnr,
where we both spoke last night st th
old soldiers' reunion, returning home this
morning. Mr. Rosewater delivered n ad
dress there yesterday afternoon and wa
reported to have started home last evening
In good health and spirit. HI death takes
from public affairs a strong character and
unique personality. He was known every
where by public men and was an author
ity on great national questions. H hsd a
personality which mad ataunch friends
snd bitter enemies. No matter how men
might differ In their estimate of his char
acter and career, they all respected hia
qualities aa an aggressive snd fearless
fighter, untiring and Irrepressible. In the
death of Mr. Rosewater Omaha and Ne
braska hav loat one of the most potent
forces which helped to make and mold
the history of th city and th state. He
waa always In th front rank. He has left
behind him a great nwpaper and a great
name. This Is a time when all should unit
In proper respect to his memory and In
extending sincere sympathy to hi family
ao suddenly bereaved. ,

of Mr. Rosewater, whit a shock to myself
as to othara, recalls to my mind many of
the characteristics of a most Interesting
and forceful man. I presume among his
most pronounced qualities were thoeo of
frankness and . perseverance. Once em
barked on a line of policy to himself cr
his paper. It was hard for him to depart
from It. I hav known him quite well
for about five years and the Impression
that abides with me Is thst while he had
Strong likes snd dislikes and strong per
sonal ambition, still that th predominat
ing thing that Influenced his life waa a
natural, unforced belief that all else should
bend for the benefit of th common people.
Rev. ClydS Clsy Cissell, Pastor of th
Hanscom Park Methodlat Church Person
ally, I held ,Mr. Rosewater In the highest
esteem snd regarded him as a man of
great Value to his profession, to the city
and to the state. His Influence for good
waa far-reaching. Hia loaa will be greatly
felt throughout every circle of Influence In
the state. ,x
Rev. Newman Hall Burdick, Pastor of
the Second Presbyterian Church Though
w might differ from Mr. , Rosewater on
some questions, we have lo glv him credlT
for hia sincerity of purpose and a genuine
Interest In the welfare arid upbuilding of
Omaha and Nebraska. I also consider Mr.
Rosewater one of the greatest friends the
laboring men ever had, for he had their
Interests at heart and desired they hav a
square deal. Mr. Rosewater was a most
able man.
Albert Watklns of Lincoln J hsve known
Mr. Rosewater and Th Be during most
of the latter a lifetime. To a remarkable
degree Tha Bee has been Rosewater and
Rosewater The Bee, though In recent yearj
since the paper has grown to metropolitan
proportions and character, its founder and
editor has not so completely dominated it
as in th period of it earlier develop
ment. Th qualities which Mr. Rosewater
transfused Into The Be ar Indomitable
energy, enterprise, aggressiveness, perti
nacity and courage to a fault, and in-general
Journalistic ability of the highest
order. Through Th Bee Mr. Rosewater s
Influence on Nebraska affairs haa per
haps been greater than that exercised by
sny other oltlaen of the state. His power
In shaping and breaking political policies
-and personal political' fortunes haa been'
very great. His life will b tested by the
character of this great Influence on th
growth and development of the .state and
particularly on its political affairs. This
Influence has been most effective within
and upon th generally dominant republi
can party of which The. Be has been for
msny years th leading exponent or organ.
Hera th corrective Influence of Th Bee
has been remarkably powerful, and on the
whole, -I think, salutary. Thla Is to my
mind - th most prominent and Important
phase of Mr,., Roaewater. remarkable
career. u ,
. As keenly 'as Is Mr. Rosewater's death
felt by all, classes of the community It
falls with no greater force upon any set
of Individuals than th letter carriers. To
these men Mr. Rosewater was especially
close. He had long made their Interests the
subject of deep study and as on expressed
It yesterday upon learning of his death,
"It Is a blow to us; he vis the beat friend
w had."
