laid to rest yesterday afternoon.
Before the service bcg.rn at S o'clock
those close friends who so desired viewed
the body In the rich black casket covered
with flowers, as It rested near the center
of the hall on the second floor of the Pax

water had had apartments.
Something of the real regard in which
Mr. Rosewater was held by prominent cit
izens of the community, by his brother en
gineers and the small army of worker un

"It Is characteristic of our civilization
that wc do not pass lightly over the death
of such a man as Andrew Rosewater."
said irr. Ixivelsnd, after reading a few
verses of scripture. "And It Is character
istic of Americans that at such a time they
forget all the small things of life. We show
by this how much nearer we aTe to the
Ideal brotherhood of man than some other
nations. We are even prone to forget such
things as religious differences; we brush
from our memories anything of political
platforms and disagreements, and today we
come not as Jew nor Ocntlle. not as Cath
olic nor Protestant, but we come as men.
as human brothers, to put a flower on the
casket of Andrew Rosewater.
"Most of us have to dlo before we are
understood. We have to atep out of sight
before we are appreciated, the same as we
must get far away to see the mountains,
the same that to view the ocean we must
be back almost to where It Is beard no
more. Thus we have to let men Blip from
us to know them and recognize their power

more highly prized tomorrow than he was
yesterday.
(irr-at Physician to Omaha,
"I bellco Andrew Rosewater was a great
physician to this city, a great physician be
cause he ministered to us before disease
came. The plans which he evolved In his
great brain for making this city sanitary
and draining It In such a way that typhoid
anil diseases which bring death In their
wake, have been the means of sustaining
our health, even our very life. We will
never know how msny lives have been
saved through the devoted work of this
doctor of engineering.
"This man lived an Intense life. His
body seemed full of springs pushing con
stantly outward, lie had strong convic
tion and fought for what lie believed to
be right. Men have called me up' toddy
who have fought with him and against
blm for many years. One whom he crossed
many times, one who dlfcred on many sub
jects, called early this morning to say to
me, 'I have known him In Omaha for forty
years and never known an Intimation of
doubt as to his Integrity.'

"No grave can ever be dug deep enough
to hide lila life nor bury the Influence which
Ms life will have on the city of Omaha

MONEY MARKET HOLDS FIRM
Government Treasury Contains Mora
f.old and o Apprehension la
Frit of Mrlnarrncy Deal-
NEW YORK, April 18. There was a lack
of uniformity about the development In
the stock market last week that Indicated
some confusion and Irregularity of specula
tlve sentiment for which It was difficult
to trace the motives always In the news
events coming to hand.
Special stocks were In eager demand and
lifted sharply, while selling predominated
at other points. The extent tp which the
previous rise had gone and the lengthened
period of the advance offered a leading
motive for the selling, which was prompted
by the deslro to realize accrued profits.
Selling on this account had behind It no
doubt of the favorable progress of coming
events, but simply a conviction that prices
had enhanced sufficiently to measure ade
quately the progress ahead;, in sight.
There was an admixture of anxiety over
some of the developments In affairs, which
might -account also for some of the ele
ment of depression in the market. For
eigners manifested distrust at the rato
which prices were advancing in this mar
ket and sold stocks here quite freely when
business was resumed abroad on Tuesday,
after the long Easter recess. This selling
proved a weight on the markrt and had
considerable, sentimental effect as well.
Speculation ' Wheat.
It Is evident that consideration of the
grain crop outlook Is gaining in Importance
from the standpoint of the financial out
look, and that the present promise lacks
cheering effect. Due consideration is given
to the highly speculative clement In tho
high price level ruling In the wheat mar
ket, to the effect of small foreign stocks
of wheat and to Impaired yields of foreign
crops. After allowance Is made for all
these factors in the situation there re
mains a nihslantl.il residue of anxiety
over the backward development of pur own
winter wheat crop. Until that condition Is
corrected there will be lacking confidence
In the improvement In the condition of the
crop over the government's April 1 esti
mate, which Is relied on to Insure against
a trrtalcued shortage.
Weather conditions have been considered
unfavorable also, for the seeding of spring
wheat, a large crop of which would relieve
the shortage of the winter wheat. A ma
terial shortage of the year's grain harvest
would be a grave defect In the situation
hoped for to push forward the restoration
of prosperous conditions in the country.
Ko Shortage of Cars.
Another inharmonious note was the re
port of a fresh Increase In the number of
Idle freight cars In the country for the half
month ending March 31, following succes
sive, though small, reductions which had
been going on since the first of the pres
ent year. As the net result was In spile
of a substantial reduction In surplus coal
cars, due to the rush to stock up with coil
In fear of a possible strike, unfavorable de.
duutlons were drawn of the progress of
freight traffic and general merchandise
movement.
From the metal Industries a better Im
pression came. A factor in creating this
feeling was the report of the Copper Pro
ducers' association for March allowing t
growth in that month of only 9.000.000
pounds in the stocks of marketable coppers
In refiners' hands in spite of a production
for that month In excess of that cither for
February or January. This result was duo
to the rise In the month's deliveries and
exports to in8.OS3.0H7 pounds, compared with
only 74.646,814 pounds In February and a
little over 90.ono.000 pounds in Jmuary.
This was regarded as proof of substantial
betterment In the demand for refined cop
per. Orderu for structural steel were on a
large scute, giving promise of an outstrip
ping of the March record In that depart
ment of the steel industry.

CITY FIGHT ON IN LINCOLN
Municipal Candidates to Be Put on

ROBERT MAL0NE FOR DEMOCRATS
At Mass Meetlna He Is Made Their

LINCOLN. April 1s.,-tSpeclaU The city
campaign Is on In dead earnest and be
ginning this vc?k both sld'-s, democrats
and republicans, will start in actively to
get votes, notwithstanding the name demo
crat or republican will not be on tho ticket.
That there will be no party resignation of
candidates Is due to the fact that the city
officials forgot to call a primary election.
This forces rach party to put Its candidates
on the ticket by petition.
The republicans, however, held a pri
mary at which more than 1.M0 votes were
east and nominated Don L. Love for mayor.
The democrats nominated their candidates
last night at a mass meeting. Robert Ma
lone In their choice for mayor, while T. S.
Allen and J. C. Harpham are their nom
inees for excisemen.
Mr. Malone has served with credit In
tho city council o:: a number of occasions
and is engaged In the contracting business.
Mr. Harpham Is at present a member of the
excise lioard.
While i h candidates are getting busy
there is pending In the district court an
application for an injunction to prevent the
election.
Don Ixivc, wha received the republican
nomination, Is one of the well known law
jeers of Lincoln and was backed by the
temperance forces of the city. Malone,
though himself a temperance man, Is not
a prohibitionist.
The nomination of Malone practically
takes John B. Wright out of the race, or,
rather. Is expected to keep him from en
tering as an avowed candidate for mayor.
Mr. Wright expected to he a candidate,
und It was expected then that he would lie
endorsed by the democrats, lull as he was
not It Is understood he will not permit ills
name lo go on the ballot. Mayor Brown
positively refused to be considered as a
candidate for re-election.

prolific means of Increasing the receipts.
All of them will aupiwrt an Income tax
provision and In addition some of them
will strenui usly urge a tax on all dealings

some of the republican senators, but will
not receive assistance "from any of tho

of the government.
There will not be In the senate aa In the
