Mr. Victor Rise wster: I em pained to hear of the death of your 'Tether, and sympathise most sin cerely with you and the other members of hla family. While nothing can atone for the toes of a parent, yet it must lessen the sting somewhat to know that everyone who knew him haa. also sustained a Inu, only lesser In degree than yours, and pri portionate to the Intimacy of his acquaint- ' nnce with vour father. As I witnessed the last stste convention ( I felt that death alone could bring to Mr. Rosewater the honor thafwas his due. It was a moment when the Ideas, to the advo cacy of which he had devoted his life, were triumphant In both atate and nation. Of all men, no' one was entitled to more honor In that hour,' but his opponents had bp proprlatcd his Ideas, and made use of the enmities he had created In fighting for the cause to deprive him of the honor that at tended the victory. "He had winged the shaft that quivered In his heart.",- Envy and malice ran follow him no further. The hlstery of "the greatest re form movement of modern times-will give him the rredlt he earned. The people of Omaha and Nebraska will now realise that they have lost the most Indefatigable, trustworthy and effective champion, and will with one voice say aa did the poet of.

"1 will compute forty .years or Ufs in Omaha on -Tuesday, September 4." said -Major John B. Furay. "I knew Edward Rosewater all that time, for jnumber ef years Intimstely, snd later on a friendly footing. It Is Interesting snd pathetic to me to recall that Edward Rosewater was the first man I met snd became acquainted with after landing here. "You eee, my regiment had been sta tioned st Fort Laramie prior to .this snd I scted a good,' deI of, the time' ss'aJO tant. ' In this connection I signed msny telegrams addressed to Colonel BapP. at Omaha, then '-commanding the Departmenu of the Platte. It seems that In the local telegraph office Mr. Rosewater had be came familiar with rrty name, ecause of this correspondence. I came to Omaha On 'a steamboat, the City of Denver, from St. Joseph, sfter being Tnuktered ont of the army service, subseqaeht to the Indian cam paigning. "I remember thaL.it took us sev eral weeks to make 'the Journejr en the Missouri, swing; to ; the condition fit the 'river. Harry Deuel was clerk of the' boat, which burned on the next trip. He was the flpst Omaha man with whom I became acquainted, but I met him before reaching Omaha. 1 "After I reached Omaha my firs thought was to telegraph relatives announcing my safe arrival. , I ssked the way to the tele graph office and found It. I wrote my telegram and handed If over to ths opera tor. The latter counted the words and said: " 'Are you not the Major Fnray who has been out west fighting the Indians? "I said I waa and the operator told me his name was Fid ward Rosewster and that he knew' 'me by name and reputation through the Interchange of military tele-' grams. He shook hands with me and was very friendly, snd that was how I came to know him. His friendly reception meant more to me than I can describe, for I was a total stranger In Omaha and knew no one here. It wa a time and occasion when acquaintances . and friendship counted for a good -deal -to me, and-I appreciated Mr. Bosewater's kindly, attitude. . ' "For 'a number of years we were on Intimate terms snd I . helped elect him to a term In the legislature. , , "I remember distinctly that hla young friends," Including myself, doubted ex tremely the wisdom of his course In aband oning his position with the telegraph com pany to devote all his energy to The Bee. A good Job was a sure thing, we figured, snd prefersble to the uncertain venture of stsrtlng a newspaper without great financial backing 1n a neW town Snd in the face of ' hsTdcornpetltlon. Of course events proved to' everyone's' sstlsfactlon that Mr. Rosewater had seised Just' the right tlnie Snd opportunity for his venture. He never Would have undertaken It or suc ceeded were tt not for his Indomitable energy and the fact' that he' never recog nised defeat or knew when he was beaten." The day afW, Mr. Rosewater's death the flag., was run, upjjjalf way on tjie -staff ,of Boyles'. Business college,.as on many other buildinga of a private., character In the city..,-, , s. ,. .,,,..,.. . .. , r . "i did this merely as a mark of personal respect and gratitude, tows jd . MfV Rose water,", said, President H. 'b'. Boyles, In speaking about It! . 'Ndt very rriany per sons know thst Mr. Rosewster sided me In the most substantial way tn starting my school, and without solicitation on my part. In 1897 I established the college In The Bee building,' occupying a single room tt which I paid lltBO a month rent. Business was so light that even this amount was a decided burden. I had one little old tpe writer and a second-hand de"V. Mr. Roae water observed the condition of things and very soon offered to loan tne s room rent free, so thst I might hsve at least a pri vate" office apart -from ths- school room. He did It In a quiet and wholly unostenta tious manner.- Business grew better and I rented: another room. - He loaned me an other room for an ofncS and this process kept up untlr 1 wss paying 8171 a month rent, Mr. Roaewater then concluded I was on my feet and the free room refit ceased. I never forgot this kindness, for It came at a time when I needed It the most.'? Df. ' George. 1..' Miller, whose paper,' the .Herald, and the. Republican were the only two In the field when The Bee wae founded, tells of ah incident to which he believes the success of. tte "new paper (The Bee) de pended. The Herald attd'-the 'Republican "were both evening papers,, but . I had secretly decided to make the Herald a morning paper. I had Instructed my employes that the fact we were to Change to the morning field was not to be made public. A drunken printer gsvs It swsy to ths Republican and Major Balcombs'of that paper sur prised us by changing ths Republican to a morning paper n the very- day ws changed. -' v . . . . "If we bad been sensible, we would have drawn straws to see who would issue a morning and who an evening paper, thus dUldlng the field between, us. but we didn't. We left the evening field unoccupied and Mr. Rosewater entered It with The Bee. Considering the hard struggle he had with out competition I do not believe he- could have kepi the paper afloat If he had bad 'an 'evening paper to fight" Mr ' Rosewater's oversight of details which '.led him to make S tour of the Bee building almost dally is Illustrated by a typical Incident told by Judge Troup, who was employe on The Bee during its esrly life and who happened to be the dne to discover Mr. Roeesrater's death. "I can remember of his coming into ths business offlos frequently after a hard day's 'Work at his dsek and casting a sweeping glance ground ths room. His sy would catch perhaps a cobweb banging frexn the celling. He would thrust, bis Anger at it and sy . 'I wonder what the Janitor means by letting things go like that. I think ws will have to , have a change. - However, (he threatened- change was never made." No matter- how efficient the manager of a department might be, Mr, Rosewater found time among all his other duties to keep sa eye on ths details . ' . - . ' - The struggles of Ths Bee to keep from being overwhelmed by financial difficulties during the lata '70a, Just before the stock company wae organised, are shown by ad other Incident related by Judge' Troup. "One dsy, a few minute before time for the banks to close, ws found aa obligation very large for the paper at that time waa due. Every resource the people la the' bus iness office hsd wss exhausted snd still there was a considerable amount unpro vided for. It waa a case thst had to be .mtt snd I was sent out to flndMr.vRoae water. who was sot la his office. . found him bet ween, Tenth and Eleventh oa Far nam, which at. that time wa the center of the buatnea district, and related the bul6s office troubles to him. Mr. Rose wster shrugged his shoulders' and thrust his thumb and finger down Into his. vest pocket and pulled out a nickel. -of course, fhat lsn' very much, ha said, holding It up. ' "With his usual resourt aYulnesa, how- N ever, the money was raised and the crisis 1 tided over." S. 8. Teters, a .member of the editorial staff of Ths Bee snd a civil war veteran, relates thla from his knowledge of affairs: - "It waa a cherished hope of Mr. Rosewater that he might become either a regular or honorary member" of the Grand Army of the Republic. However, the rulea of the Grand Army confines It membership Ir revocably to the men mho actually served In the military or naval branch .of the ' service during the civil war snd who wets honorably discharged therefrom. Mr. . Rosewater belnnred tn (ha Miiii.rv tl. '. grapher. which wss a civil rather than t a military Branch of the government. "While the military telegraphers did not wear the uniform of a soldier, nor wert.' they as strictly smennble to military rules aa the -soldlera, yet their service wal oftentimes even rnore dangerous than those who were In actual line of battle. ' Thla was particularly true of the campaign , In front of Petersburg In the summer of1; 1M, In -which campaign Mr. Rosewater was engaged, and he was frequently In the most . perilous positions, becsuse of the deternv ' Inatlon of confederate" raiding parties 1 '" destroy communications of all kinds. There was a veritable net . w.ork of telegraph i, wires from City Point, where General i-; Grant's headquarters were located, upou . both aide of jhe-Appomattox, to Bermud nundreda and Point of Rocks, the base ol . operations against Petersburg. It was. tr this csmpalgn that Mr. Roaewater rend- ered very effective service as a military telegrapher, which threw him In constant -personal communication with Generals Grant. Meade, Butler. Hancock. Sheridan. Butler. Ksuts and a host of others. "Only a short while sgo Mr. Rosewster snd I were discussing, that campaign snd he showed a remarkable memory of tb events In front of Petersburg In whlcH for a few weeks General B. F. Butler wag' ' bottled up' most effectively, as Jocosely ststed by General Grant and to whose re , lief Grant hsd to come later tn the summer.' " "A funny thing happened Just upon he arrival of General Grant at Petersburg.' said Mr. Rosewster, 'that gave a strong Insight Into the extreme coolness of Gen eral Grant under the most trying clrcum stsnces. A large lookout or signal station hsd been erected at Point of Rocks, that was probably sixty or more feet In height. From the top of this ststlon wa could signal to Fort Pnwhattan, City-' Point, and acroas the.Jamee river toward Harrleon's Landing. The lookout was In full slew of Petersburg, snd the confed erates used the lookout regularly as a target. Being an open trestle work af fair, the little slx-pounder. . percussion shells that they fired st the lookout eel- ' dow struck It. As tho top of the "erow'a nest," ss It was called, gave a good view of Petersburg and the confederate en trenchments, Gt nersl Butler suggested to General Grant that they go up on top of the lookout and take a look around. Tha lookout could be easily ascended by a ' ladder, so Generals Grant, Meade, Han cock, Butler, Warren and some of their staff a climbed up to the top of the con. cern t6 see things. 1 " 'Several of the officers were In bril liant uniforms and the confederates with the sld of glasses soon discovered that there was something more than ordinary on "crow's nest" and they began firing at It briskly. The little shells whistled close about the heads of the generals, but not striking arty object failed to explode, . until one struck one of the braces of tha lookout about twenty feet below the oftK cars and exploded, Fortunately- no great , damage resulted, nor was any of the fen-. ' erals Injured. ..... ".'It waa funny to, see- the dignified genv,', era I skurrying to get out of that look-'. out, . They came down very unaranfuliv. but all managed to reach tbe .'ground sareiy. General Grant was ths Isat man . down out of the lookout and he descended ' slowly snd deliberately, and would not . leave the platferm at. the top until all . ot his associates were safelr down and out of harm's wsy.'
