Famous Nebraska Editor
Is No More
SUDDEN DEATH A SURPRISE
HE HAD BEEN IN A LONG AND
UNSUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN AND
HIS DEATH is ATTRIBUTED TO
HEART FAILURE AND ExHAUs-
TIoN-WAs PROMINENT.

Omaha Neb., Aug. 31.-Edward
Rosewater proprietor and editor of
The Omaha Bee, and prominently
identified with the political, financial
and business affairs of Omaha and the
state of Nebraska for forty years, was
found dead in district court room. No.
6, on the third floor of The Bee build
ing early today.
Rosewater had evidently sat down
on the bench in the court room and
fell asleep, and died of heart failure.
Rosewater went to Waterloo, Neb.
Thursday afternoon, where he made
speech at the republican political
meeting. He reached Omaha on his
return at y. M, and went immedi-
ately to his office in The Bee building.
He is known to have been in his Of
flee during the y ing, but was not
seen by the members of his family
after returning from Waterloo.
1t was the habit of Rosewater to go
to different parts of the building when
ever his pleasure so indicated, and it is
presumed he stepped into the large
court room and sat down for a min
utes repose and fell asleep.
When Judge Troup, who presided
over court, No. s. arrived at the court
room this morning, he was surprised
to find the lifeless body of Rosewater
on bench in the court room He was
sitting at the end of the bench. recIin-
ing easily against the radiator He had
reclined his head on his extended arm
across an arm at the end of the bench
Judge Troup on finding the EDITORS
body in the court room called in At
torney Jefferys, who has an office on
the same floor, and the office of The
Daily Bee was at once notified. The
body was later removed to the Rose
water home. DR.. Rosewater, a broth
er of the editor, attributed the sudden
death of his brother to the results
which followed the excitement attend
ant on the long campaign in which Mr.
Rosewater was a prominent candidate
for the nomination by the Nebraska
state convention for United States
senator.

A RUSSIAN OFFICIAL.
AND HAD NO INTENTION OF

Moscow, Aug 31.-The Vimdomosti,
the leader of the reactionary press of
Russia, created a sensation today by
printing the correspondence exchanged
between Usefovich, who holds the rank
of state councillor, and who is presi-
dent of the monarchical party of Kiev,
and Dr. Won Miguel, the German
charge d. affaires at st. Petersburg.
From the letters printed it appears
that upon the publication of a recent
report that Emperor William had in
vited Count Witte to Wilhemshohe, M.
Usefovich, in the name of all factions
of the Russian monarchical party,
'telegraphed to the German emperor
expressing deep regret that such a
splendid head of a friendly German
people should receive a man whom the
whole Russian people regarded as be-
ing the guilty author of the miseries
into which the country was plunged,
and the provoker of the terrorism In
spired by the hostility to the Jews to
whom he is friendly"
Several days later M. Usefovich, ac-
cording to The Vimdomosti, received
through DR.. Won Miguel, letter say
ing he had been directed by the for
eign secretary to say that the telegram
to the German emperor was based on
a misapprehension, as Emperor Will
liam had not received Count Witte, and
had no intention Of receiving him.

New York, Aug. 31,-Such welcome
as seldom in this country's history has
been accorded to a private citizen, was
given to VIM. Jennings Bryan at Mad
ison Square garden last night in the
celebration of his return from a years
absence, spent in foreign travel.
AS the guest of the Commercial
Travelees' Antitrust league, Mr..
Bryan was greeted by more than 10000
persons, who filed the great structure
from floor to upper gallery. At the
same time the streets and avenues out
side the garden were choked for
blocks by other thousands who stood
patiently for hours for the privilege of
even fieeting glance at the distin-
guished visitor. The interior of the
garden was waving sea of color.
Every person in the audience had been
provided with miniature American
flag, and every cheer from 10000
throats was accentuated by the waving
of 10000 tiny staffs bearing the stars
and stripes. When Mr.. Bryan entered
the hall, the proceedings which already
had begun were brought to a tempor-

When Chairman Tom l.. Johnson in
his introduction of Mr. Bryan referred
to the guest of the evening as 'the first

land-not yet the first officiar'-and
Mr.. Bryan rose, the great gathering
broke out in unrestrained cheering,
while the band played Hail to the
Chief"
So touched was Mr.. Bryan by the
welcome that as ne stood waiting for
the cheers to subside, his eyes filed

Suit for the Estate.

Brothers and Sisters Lost in Their
Suit for the Estate.
Grand Forks N. D., Aug. 31.-Judge
l.. X. Hassel, of the probate court,
holds that all of the life insurance of
the late Martin A. Walsh belongs to
Mary e. Finn and Mary NJ Carney
named as sole heirs by his will which
provided that all real and personal
property and all life insurance should
be bequeathed to these two. Two of
the fraternal policies were payable to
the legal heirs of the decedent, and the
brothers and sisters of Martin A.
Walsh contended that while Misses
Finn and Carney were named as heirs
they were not legal heirs in the sense
intended to be conveyed in the two
policies.
Judge Hassell held that all of the in
surance was intended to go to the
beneficiaries of the will, and has made
an order to that effect. Immediately
following the filing of this decision a
final decree was issued, and the resi-
due of the property distributed. The
S.oUns woIIen will receive from the es-
tate the sum of $1,86104 each, after all
of the expenses have been paid.
The estate consisted almost entirely
of life insurance, there being a policy
of $4,000 in the Brotherhood of Ameri-
can Yeomen; $4,000 in the Brotherhood
of Loyal Americans, as well as some
other insurance, the two policies men
toned beiner the onac 1vIint, A. -
t1ves claimed rightfully belonged to
them rather than to the beneficiaries
under the terms of the will.

Secretary of the Treasury Sterling
