Mr.. Rosewater started The Omaha Bee
as small afternoon paper some thirty
FIVE years ago and he caused 1t TO grow
into a magnificent property and TO awield
an influence second to none in Nebraska.
He made war from the beginning upon the
railroad corporations that have been a
power in Nebraska since the early days Of
the Union Pacific, and he was the enemy
of the machine In politics down to the day
when he ceased to exist. Like many news
paper men, Mr.. Rosewater was possessed
of political ambitions that were never real
lied and his death was probably FASTENED
by his long and arduous campaign for a
seat In the United States senate, closed a
week or two ago. In The Omaha Bee he
has more enduring and honorable monu-
ment than could have been reared by any
2olitical honors his state might have be-
slowed upon him. He made a success OF
his vocation and as long as the paper 'ex-
lists 1t will be known that Mr.. Rosewater
was it's inspiration and its creator.

Edward Rosewater, OF The Omaha Bee,
was man of distinction In his state and
IN the newspaper world. He was a man
of force and OF character, who made an
impression on the life Of his own state,
and was known far beyond its boundaries.
Forty years ago he started the paper for
which his name ever since has been a
synonym. Though not among the greatest
OF writer's. he was excellent in judgment,
and indefatigabIe in his effort for his city
and state. He created great newspaper.
and made the city where II is published
known as the home OF The Omaha Bee.
His work was well done, and his death
will be noticed and lamented universally
by the newspapers OF the country.

Edward Rosewater was one of the men
who believed in doing things, and when he
conceived that II was right to do a GER
tain thing. no consideration OF monetary
loss or OF criticism for moment deferred
him. He was a power for good In his
community and contributed largely to the
'upbuilding OF his city and state. The
news OF his death brought from near and
far the most eulogistic tributes.

The most marked individuality Of west
ern newspapering passes in the death of
Edward Rosewater. founder of The Omaha
Bee. Mr.. Rosewater was an editor of tho
old school. Henry Watterson remains.
There are few others. Mr.. Rosewater put
himself into his newspaper The Daily
Bee was In fact the Daily Rosewater. A
man of force, of ideas, of purpose, he
made his newspaper the exponent OF ais
life.
There have been a variety of contempo-
raneous judgments on his career. The
ultimate judgment will be that he worked
with singleness of purpose for the up
building of the west along lines of good
government and permanent prosperity
When the irritations of the, day are for
gotten--and Mr.. Rosewater did nothing to
allay them-the great, strong and pre-
dominating traits OF his character will
stand out in bold relief. His name and
his life work are inseparably associated
with the formative period of a great city

By Associated Press.


MAYFIELD, KY, July 31.-The
hanging of Allan Mathis, the negro
who criminally assaulted Miss Ethel
McClain last Wednesday night, took
place at O'Clock tonight in a legal
manner in the yard of the county jail
Fully 10000 people were on the scene,
but only a few hundred could see the
execution, although almost the entire
fence surrounding the scaffold had
been torn down by the enraged citi-
zens while his trial was going on.
1t was only fifty minutes from the
time the jury was sworn in until the
negro was pronounced dead.
Mathis arrived here at 6:40 tonight
from Louisville in charge of a deputy
sheriff and company of militia from
Hopkinsville.
The local military met the train and
the negro was marched to the court
house.
Several attempts were made to get
the negro, and twice he was in the pos
session of the mob, but the soldiers
finally succeeded in forcing their way
with their prisoner to the court house.
where Mathis trial was at once begun.
There were rumors tonight that an
other negro in Jail from Hickan coun-
ty, charged with a similar offense. was
to be lynched, but it is understood he
was spirited away.

VICTORIA, y. c.. July 31.-Baron
komura, recently appointed Japanese
ambassador to Great Britain, arrived
today by the Canadian Pacific railroad
steamer Empress of Japan en- route to
London via Quebec from where he
sails by the Empress of Ireland on Au-
gust 0. To the Associated Press he
said:
"I am sorry that am unable to visit
the United States on my present trip,
but the state of my health, though I
have recovered considerably, requires
that | take the cooler northern route"
Baron Komura said with regard to
japanese action in Manchuria that the
japanese government would undoubt-
edly carry out all the pledges made be-
fore and since the war to maintain
'the open door" in Manchuria.
Regarding the criticism of foreign
merchants he said they were due to
impatience. The terms of occupation
demanded that Japan adopt the meas
ures now in vogue, but as soon as the
military occupation was ended-and
this would be soon-arrangements
would be made to carry out the pledges
regarding an "open door" policy.
In Japan, Baron Komura said, condi-
tions were fast improving. The coun-
try had recovered from the effect of
the war and although taxes were in
creased the outlook was good. In the
arrangement of the post-bellum eco
nomic condition on which the country
was entered there were four questions
to be solved by the government and ma
tion.
First, how to revise the customs
tariff
Second, how to make Japan a great
Industrial country.
Third, how to make Japan a factor
in the commercial warfare in neighbor-
ing countries whose doors were thrown
open to the worlds competition.
Fourth, how to finance the post-bel-
lum undertakings.
Of course, Japan was looking forward
to securing much of the trade of Man
churia, although in carrying out the
pledges made it would need to be Sc
cured in open competition with the
traders of the world.

NEWPORT, R. l., July S1.-A colli-

The squadron was making for this

stituting the second division-the In

assistance was not required.
The report received here was to the
effect that neither ship was injured be-

She was notified last night by cable
that Corey was free to marry.
There was also revival today of the
report that Gilman and CoreNa would
speedily marry.
1t was announced last fall this was
their intention as soon as Mrs. Corey
obtained divorce. That Miss Gilman
should become Mrs. Corey was re-

situation.
The Corey divorce vas discussed on
the Rialto with as much animation as
IL Corey had been a theatrical manager
instead of the steel trust president
Actresses who know Miss Gilman
talked of nothing but her approaching
marriage to Corey as they gathered for
rehearsals at the various theaters. Not
one of them expressed the slightest
doubt that Corey would marry the
former Broadway star.
