MAN CITY NEEDED FOR FUTURE
Verdict of Business Men Who Knew
Mr.. Rosewater Best.

Verdict of Business Men Who Knew
Mr.. Rosewater Best.
That Andrew Rosewater was the man
the city needed to work out the engineering
problems OF the future in Omaha, and that
his sudden death leaves a place hard to
fill, Is the verdict OF Omaha business men,
who knew the engineer for many years.
Andrew Rosewater built with great fore
sight and the city has improvements which
Will do foI a municipality of 1000 or IN
larged will serve a city of 100000, without
changing the plans made by Rosewater,"
Is a common expression.
''Only yesterday / talked with him and
told him l hoped for his reelection" said
Gould DietE. "Only yesterday / told a
candidate who was circulating a petition to
run against>Mr. RosewateT. that he should
get out, as Andrew Rosewater was the
man who. in the office of city engineer,
was needed by the future Omaha. The city
is growing at a rapid rate. MT. Rose
water was an engineer of such ability that
Omaha needed him. What l said yester-
day when IL seemed possible to have him
work with us. remains unchanged since his
death"
Former Senator ]. II. Willard. president
OF the Omaha National bank. said: Il
nave known Andrew hoseWater for a num-
Der of years, heard much criticism of his
public career and work. but knowing him
and his methods, / never had my conf
dence shaken in his integrity as a citizen.
nor doubted his ability as an engineer
For the firm, A. ID. Brandeis. of J. l..
Brandeis & Sons, said; THE death of An
drew Rosewater must come as a great
shock to the business community. AS city
engineer he contributed largely to the
growth OF the city along broad lines. He
was a man Of positive views and strong per
sonality and could not be moved from what
he believed to be right. His death takes
from among us another OF the pioneers
who are rapidly passing away. We will all
feel his loss"
J. NJ. Guild, commissioner of the Com
merclal club, said: Il sincerely hoped yes
terday. and so expressed myself, for the
reelection OF Andrew Rosewater to this
office of city engineer, He served the clty
conseientiously and l have always be
neved that II he had been given entire

Mayor Dahlman expressed great surprise
and grief when informed of the sudden
death of the city engineer, whom he APP

mayor. Il never questioned his honesty,

GRAIN USER is MIXED
Secretary Wilson Says Gamblers, Not
Farmers, Reap Wheat Profits.
'wn CROP CONDITION DISTURBED
High Price This Year VIII
Cause Bis Acreage and
Glut In Market Next
Year.

WASHINGTON, April i7.-"There Is suffi-
cient wheat in the country at normal prices
to make bread for the Americans up to the
time when the new crop comes in" de-
clared Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to-
day, and those who attempt to keep prices
up at present rates Expect to get their
money out of the common people-the con-
sumers."
Secretary wilson's statement was made
in reply to criticisms OF ]. A. Patten of
Chicago of the crop reports of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Mr.. Patten not only
discredited the departments estimate OF
wheat crop, but said that the supply OF
wheat was scarcer than the governments
estimate show.
1.-THE reporters of the Department Of
Agriculture are farmers living on farms.
and know. II anybody knows, and have
knowledge II anybody has knowledge Of
the facts" declared the secretary.
I'VE cannot whistle these men down the
wind. II we seek an honest class OF com
munity and hesitate to take the words Of
the American farmers we will not establish
truth by going to the gamblers.
1.-THE large majority of wheat has left
the hands of the farmers" continued the
secretary. "A fictitious price has been
created. The farmers are not beneficiaries
Of such conditions. They will naturally
plant more wheat and next years crop is
likely to be abnormally large, when the
gamblers will not be in the market, and
mischief will be done by disturbance of the
crop system. In the corner of 1898, when
the price OF wheat was run up to s1.s5, the
price was depressed the following veal
below 50 cents, the result undoubtedly of
the upsetting Of the equilibrium of the
normal supply and demand"
Conditions Not Abnormal.
To show that a scarcity of wheat in this
country is not the cause for the present
abnormal increase in the prices, Secretary
Wilson points out that the amount OF
wheat produced in the calendar year 1905
was es5, OOO,Oo bushels, as compared with
6S4, 900, 900 bushels for the crop year 1907,
making 3. OoO,0O bushels more for the last
crop year than was found the year previous
After calling attention to the departments
report, which indicated that the amount
of wheat on farms on March 1 last was
about 14S. 100000 bushels in round numbers,
the secretary states that an analysis Of
the wheat movement after March / in past
years indicates that the yearly estimate
Of the percentage of crop on farms at thai
time has been about Q per cent below the
actual percentage. He says that wher
wheat becomes dear. as it Is now as the
result Of the Chicago corner. people use
more corn than they do wheat until VIII eaI
is cheaper, and declares that the people
who are responsible for the corner will
have to consider that less wheat will be
used while 1t remains at an abnormallS
high price.

A little story comes from way back
concerning Forrest. the tragedian.
1t was during his last appearance
at Niblos Garden, in New York. At
the time he was suffering untold tor
ture from the govt. A sort OF rsn-
way had to be constructed from the
stage to the dressing room, for he was
quite unable to step up or down stairs.
The performance had been "Corio-
lanus." and Forrest was petulant from
pain and tired with bis work. He
stumbled against the runway. causing
such twinge In his toe as to make
him cry out with the pain.
A young actor standing by unfortu-
nately addressed the tragedian at the
wrong time. saying:
Dear me, Mr.. Forrest that must
have been exceedingly painful"
"Not half SO painful as your acting"
was the crusty response.
