His old mugwnmp beehness,
Cleveland, has again started up his
"pernicious activity order. POST
master General Wilson has sent out
a circular forbidding all railway
mail clerks from attending political
conventions, or taking any part in
political campaigns. Now, to be at
all consistent, Cleveland should kill
himself or resign, make his secreta-
ries resign, and have Wilson fire at
once those hundred or more post
masters in Michigan who recently
attended the state Democratic con-
vention, over half of whom voted
for gold, although instructed to
vote for silver. If he does not do
this he should be hung in effigy all
over the country and never allowed
to again show his face in public.
Of course this is a move to intim-
idate, and for gold.

The Dallas News of yesterday
says that Schrader told the propri-
etor of the Victoria hotel, (where
he had been stopping) straight
promise to come back to that city
tomorrow" when he left there
Wednesday morning. According to
that he should have returned to
Dallas by Thursday afternoon,
which he did not do, thereby viola
ting a PLAIN and unequivocal prom
ise. He is still in this city. Any
person who will thus break his word
is unworthy of belief as Divine

THE COTTON MARKET

The prices today as telegraphed
here to our cotton buyers, show
that cotton went up a half cent
yesterday. The ruling price is for
middling 81 cents, and for good
middling cents. This half cent
raise in price is caused from reports
of the drought all over the cotton
regions of the South. Farmers
about here say it will take three or
four acres to make a bale at this
time, and if the dry weather pre-
walls another ten days, it will take
six or seven acres to make bale,
and that of inferior cotton. Cap
tain Hunter, who buys cotton seed
for the Delinting company here,
has a batch of letters from all over
Texas. stating that the crop will be
very short on account OF dry wealth
er, and that it will take several
acres to produce a bale of cotton.
We advise our farmers about
here, to hold their cotton, for we
believe it will go up high, as soon as
the cotton gamblers realize the true
facts as to the shortnesS of the
crop. Cotton should bring fifty
dollars per bale, and we believe it
will reach these figures before the
season is half out. 1t certainly
cannot get much lower than the
ruling prices today.

Omahn's Great Dry Goods House
Which EmpIONes Over $50 People.

Omahn's Great Dry Goods House
Which Employees Over $50 People
1t was away back in the COS that the
pioneer wholesale dry goods house of M. e.
Smith & Co. was first established. Council
Bluffs was it's first headquarters and was
then known under the name of Smith &
Crittendon. The veteran NJ. E.. Smith bought
out the Crittendon interest later and in 1886
moved the entire plant to Omaha.
The first home in Omaha of this great
house was at 18th and Douglas streets, and
continued so to be until in the year 1890,
upon the completion of their commodious
storeroom of five floors and easements, each
66x132 feet in size, at the southwest corner
of 18th and Howard streets, they moved
into their own building and today do the
largest wholesale dry goods business in the
entire west. Their line of dry goods is al
ways replete with the latest novelties, as
well as with the staple lines, their dress
goods, blankets and woolens being of par
ticular interest to the retailer just now be-
cause of unusual values. They carry a large
assortment of notions and mems, ladies' and
children's hosiery, underwear and other fur
nishing goods. NJ. II. Smith, az Co. are the
manufacturers of the celebrated Ideal
Brand" Of negligee shirts, cashmere pants
and oyeralls, which are conceded to be the
nandSomest ana pest nttlnB goods OF tue
kind made, as a two-needle machine Is used
for the fells on all these garments. Their
factory gives employment to 800 people the
year round and they employ, besides, over
forty people in the house and have eighteen
statesmen constantly on the road, covering
the territory embraced by Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas. South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon,
New Mexico, Old Mexico and Minnesota.
The firm is composed of NJ. Il. Smith, gen
eral manager; A. C. Smith, in charge OF the
dress goods and domestics; George M. Tibbs,
who takes care of the notions and furnish
ing goods; and w. d. Smith. in charge of
the manufacturing plant.
The NJ. Il. Smith e. Co, dry goods house
is one Of which Omaha is very proud, as 1t
is the only great dry goods house in Ne
braska; and because of it's perfect relia-
bility and never varying rule of selling good
goods at the lowest possible prices, there is
no excuse whatever for merchants going east
of Omaha for their stocks.

DIR. ALBERTSlKAW ONTHE BEE
Editor Of the Review Of Reviews Writes
About the Rosewaters,
ENTERPRISE OF TAElBEE WARMLY PRAISED
what the Head OF II Great Magazine
Thinks of me- Men Who Are
Behind the Greatest News
paper oGithe West.

1.-THE Rosewaters and The Bee Of Omaha
is the subject of the following character
sketch written by DR.. Albert Shaw of the
Review of Reviews and printed in the June
number of that great magazine, accom-
panied by a Photographic group portrait of
the subjects of the sketch:
"a western newspaper anniversary is to
be celebrated this month under circum-
stances possessing unusual interest on
several accounts. The Omaha Bee. on the
10Th day of June, will have completed an
existence of twenty-five years, during which
time it has remained continuously in the
control and under the active direction of the
man who founded 1t. The career of Mr..
Edward Rosewater, who is still in the prime
of his vigor and only 90 years of age, is a
capital illustration of those generous pos
sibilities which in the past half century
have made the name of America the
synonym for hope and good cheer among
men of humble lot in Europe, all the way
tfrom ireland to Poland.
1.-The Rosewater family came to this
country from Bohemia. Edward Rosewater
was a lad of 10 when, in about 1853, his
parents turned their backs upon the old
home village of Bukowan, a few miles from
uuCltIJ iIdSuc. 1OunB hoScNat'i h"' ~
tended the village school, and just before
coming to the United States had enjoyed a
year in the grammar schools of the
Bohemian capital. He was the Oldest of ten
children and he was obliged to help support
the family after reaching this country. The
destination of the Rosewaters was Cleve-
land, O.. Young Edward, though compelled
to forego further advantages of systematic
tzt. a. -..1t,n and 1ntArrninp1
He entered upon a calling in life which in
those days was attractive to young fellows
of exceptional alertness and promise and
which afforded an excellent stepping-stone
for advancement in life. In short, he be-
came a telegraph operator.
when the war broke out Rosewater had
Just become of age and was in charge of a
telegraph office in Alabama. He had been
in the United States only eight years, but
he had mastered the English
language, and had by reading and
effort acquired "a very good gen
eral education. Further. he had fitted
himself for intelligent action as a citizen.
was beginning to show taste and aptitude
for public affairs, and was decidedly a sup
porter of Abraham Lincoln and the northern
cause. 1t was manirestly impossible for him
to remain in Alabama, ana he returned to
the north, enlistfng at once in the military
telegraph service-a, position in which he
was fitted to be of more use to the country
than in the ranks With a musket on his
shoulder. He went through General Pope's
campaign with thesArmy of the Cumberland,
and was afterward attached as telegraph
operator to the War department at Wash
ington. 1t is a n interesting circumstance
that in this capacity Mr.. Rosewater sent out
over the wires President Lincoln's emanci-
patton proclamation. ~ a0-s" i'H'

of one of the half dozen great state uni
v~ersities of the middle west.
"Mr. Charles Colman Rosewater is three
years younger than his brother Victor. He
also made his way through the admirable
public schools OF Omaha, and after complet-
ing the High school course he entered
Cornell university, where he received his
baccalaureate degree with the class of 1894.
His Cornell course was supplemented with
a year as a graduate student at Columbia
university, New York, which earned for him
the degree of AM. He has now been at
work for a year in, the office OF The Bee
and has charge Of the circulation depart
ment. Thus the house of Rosewater seems
to be firmly established in Omaha journal
ism, and The Bee enters prosperously upon
its second quarter century. 1t Is a news
paper that has serious qualities along with
its enterprising methods, and 1t has dis
tinguished itself of late by the logic, learn
ing and keen dialectics of its fight for sound
money against the free silver tenets that
are SO popular in its region"

From returns received here during tn,

there is every indication that the stat,
has gone democratic by majority that
Is conservatively estimated at possibly
4O,OOO. A telegram was received here
this afternoon from State Chairman
Blake, announcing that from reports fur,
nished him direct from county chairmen
he based his majority for Culberson at

ticket at something like 10000.
1t is estimated at Dallas headquarters
that the remainder of the state demo-
cratic ticket will run at least 10000
ahead OF Culberson, and it is highly prob
able that Comptroller Finley will lead.
Returns from all the various congress
sional districts show that the following
democratic candidates are elected beyood

The returns show some interesting
features, and in some respects have been

cal parties. The New England states
have, as was expected, given heavy pu-
ralities for Mckinley without exception.
The republican ticket was successful in
Massachusetts beyond what was claimed
for it by the most enthusiastic prophet
of republican success.
In New York and PENNSYLVANIA each
state has given the republican candidate

states Illinois is added with plurality
of probably 10000.
