E.G. Barn urn, vice president of the

property, and he with other capitalists

known as the Loup City Milling and
Lighting Co., and have secured "the
services of h C. Grow of this citv to
take the management of the milling
department The mill will be put
in operation just as soon as it can be
done. Mr. Barnum states that as soon
as the mill is in good running order, the
matter of electric lights will receive
proper attention. Workmen are now
engaged in repairing the mill and race,
wheat has been ordered and a first
class miller engaged. The fact that the
mill litigation has been settled, the
matter amicably adjusted, a ieliahle
company to incorporate, a first-class
mill to be operated, and one that will
lie a pride and great enterprise for Loup
City, is due in no small measure to the
efiorts of Lawyer R. P. Starr of this city,
who represented the panics having the
largest interests involved, and who
has used his good offices toward the
easiest settlement of the litigation and
the up-building of this important mill
ing interest for Loup City and the
surrounding country

Our people were highly \ leased over
the production of “Macbeth” here on
Tuesday evening, by Sanford Dodge and
his excellent comyany. Considering
the smallness of the stage and inferior
accomodations for th?s production of a
play of such magnitude as “Macbeth”
the company far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations. Sanford Dodge,
who is always good, had slendid support
frcm his company, especially Miss
Marshall in the role of Lady Macbeth,
who entirely captivated our lovers of
Shakespeare by her superb interpetation
of that difficult role, and Herbert de
Guerre as “Macduff,” who received
most favorable comment from those
who attended.

expert has been engaged to put in the
plant which will be done as soon as
possible. They claim over three hun
dred lights have already been contract
ed for. Loup City will also soon have
an electric lighting plant put in by the
new milling company organized here as
spoken of in another column, and that
with new cement walks placed and be
ing placed, and new business blocks
and new residences by the scores, will
mean that Loup City is bound to be
come one of the leading town of this
great state.
Bank atBoelus Robbed.
Sheriff Williams received word Tues
day morning that the Bank of Boelus
had been robbed some time the night
previous, the s:\fe being blown to pieces
the building wrecked aud some 02,300
in cash taken. The robbers stole a
hand car. went some four miles out on
Pleasanton branch, ditched the car and
from that point all trace of them was
lost. It is supposed they got to the
B. & M and caught a train, and the
probabilities are that they will never
be apprehended. Only one person
heard anything unusual that night and
he was sleeping in a building adjoining
the bank. He was awakened by the
sound of the explosion, but thinking it
the sound of a gun, he rolled over and
went to sleep without making any
investigation. It is claimed there is
absolutely no clue to the robbers.

has been productive of good results I
now have all the “leetle peeples” I can
manage. Bring Mrs. Burleigh with
vou and investigate.” We accepted the
invitation, and on our arrival at Mrs

occasion of little Miss Rettas ninth
birthday, and such a troop of happy
bright-eyed, laughing little darlings, to
the number of nearly thirty, were
present, as one seldom sees. And the
way they were enjoying themselves,
made even the staid, dignified old news
paper man wish himself young again,
and even tempted to accept the numer
ous invitations to join them in their
joyous games, Those present were:

Lizzie Erazira, Fay Galloway. Blanche
