The jungle i» thick with rebels who will destroy as fast as the railroad is rebuiit. and it is now liard to get anyone to work on Uie road, as they are continualv in danger of losing their lives. Lawt »«k the goverment captured ; about one hundred rebels on tlie l‘an American line, and put them in a box car to be shipped to Mexico City for execution, but some of them felt too big to be shipped in a box car, so j ai! refusing to enter were lined up on tbe side of the car ano shot on the spot. Yesterday tbe train on the Vera Crur ai Istmo was robbed by the bandits and they got over #1,000. The trams ha»e been robbed in that vi cinity t1 ree times lately. So far we lia«e n.A been molested here, but we are looking for trouble any time. We will stay as long as we can. for we l,ave property here now valued at about #4.ooo gold, and should we leave it would all be destroyed. We will liave nearly three hundred colonies of bees at the end of the present month, and we have been able to sell them for *16 (Mexican) per colony and the lioney at JO cents per pound but at present business is poor Last tear we sold #1.300 worth of bees and honey in eight months Cnited States currency). There are many different ideas in regard to the outcome of the present uprising. I ma> be mistaken, but I think there is very slim show of the present gov ernment ever controlling Lhe uprising oow It will be only a short time, however until we will know the fate of the country. Should we get a good strong govern meet soon there will be the greatest rush to this country ever heard of as are there great opportunities here—all we need is a settled government. Tlie Americans seem to be leaving I>ere at the rate of from three to four hundred a day as well as other for eigners, but we are in the most peaceful part of the republic. We are enjoying good health and have no complaints to make outside of tlie uprising in tlie country. With kind regards to yourself and our friends in Aurora and vicinity. 1 remain. Very truly yours. B. E. Lassos. Must Make 43 Crosses Wh<> -aid anything about a slwirt ballot? The Sherman county voter wiio goes Ui the polls on tlie state primary election April 19th. and vote ] on even constitutional amendment and for tlie necessary candidates to till every official position on the ticket will make no less than 4.'i crosses. | Here are the occassions of so many crosses: Five constitutional amendments. One president preferential vote. One \iee president preferential vote j Otie national committeeman. Four delegates-at-large. to national convention. Two districts delegates to national convention. Two district alternates to national convention. Fight presidential electors. One IT. S. senator preferential vote. < tne governor. One lieutenant governor. One secretary of state. One state treasurer. One state auditor one attorney general. One superintendent of public in struction. < >ne commissioner of public lands and buildings. < »ne railway commissioner. e up-io-uace. ; the larger one 40x100 feet, a twin shed ! of the double-deck type. The lower' deck will accommodate all the com mon lumber, while the upper deck will be enclosed and used for the better grades. The roof is to be constructed w ith a twelve-foot hood, thus protect ing the stock from any possible dam age from the weather, and will lie covered with Kleet (ienasco roofiug. These new improvements will per mit the Keystone to carry a larger and more complete stock than they have heretofore been able to do, and the one great feature will be that every foot of material will be- in the dry. In our great sitgan. "Stand up for Loup City,” it might be well to men tion that the plans for these build ings were prepared by home talent, showing we have architects with in our city confines second to none other, and besides the Keystone com pany will use none other than home labor in tlie construction of their plant. The plant when completed, will be one that Loup City can justly be proud of, and it is safe to say no town of this size will be able to boast of a more modern building and yards than that of the Keystone Company. Electric Light News Good News along the lines of our electric lighting system is framing up good since the weather is becoming good j also. Wiring is progressing along rapidly and in all matters pertaining to the pryposed system things are, reaching the climax. The big flouring mill that has been ' in process of moving for the past two : or three weeks and which has been held back by the fearful weather, is now within a few hundred yards of i the railroad tracks, where it took a rest Tuesday because of the softness j of tire ground which made it impossi ble to get foundatio n solid enough to | allow it being moved forward. Work man are busy with teams and w ith 1 men tearing up the frozen earth for ! the excavation ready for the mill, which is to be at the northeast corner of E. G. Taylor's lots just east of his j business office, and by the time the mill building gets up to that point j the boys will have the excavation ready for its resting place. J ust east and alongside the mill is j to be erected the brick engine build ing and power house of the electric light plant to have a 32-feet frontage and extending back i>2 feet, the erec tion of which will begin at once. At the rear of the engine house will be placed a big oil tank, with a capacity of 10,000 gallons. The old Standard Gauge building, purchased by Mr. Taylor for a storage house for electric supplies, is moved south to the alley, as it stood where the mill and electric power house are to be located. A large flour house. 32x4o is to be erected south of the mill on the alley to hold the finished products of the mill. Engineers were onJTuesday staking the ground for the side track from the B. & M. tracks to the mill, which will be builded along and three feet inside the brick sidewalk leading from the depot to the corner just west of tlie mill site, which will be the individual property of the mill and electric light companies and will make the loading and un. loading of the mill products an easy proposition beside the costly teaming :--1 from tin; railroad to th« former mill site, and save the null company tli nsiimls of dollars in t ransportation. AH in all. the weather behaving itself from now on. we will have the new electric lighting system ready for arid in active operation before we hardly realize it is here to make Loup City a city of the tirst class. The bodies of the convicts Taylor and IXtwd have been turned over to medical colleges, friends of the mur derous dead rascals not coming for ward toclaim the IxKiies. The governor wants all state in stitutions turned over to a non-parti san board and taken out of politics. A good idea.
