F. Mason selling the same to Ernie Mil burn. who comes over from Ord to go into the hotel business here. In an interview w ith Mr. Milburn. he states that it is his intention to build up. remodel and renovate the house from foundation to garret, putting on a new roof, placing in larger and up to-date windows, lay new floors re plaster, paint inside and out. put in lavatories, steam heat, and do all necessary to make the St. Elmo what it should be for a town of LoupCity's pretensions, up-to-date in everr particular. This will be good news to our people, as a tirst-eiass hotel is one of the really needful things for city. Mr. Milburn has had much ex perience in the hotel business and we opine will make the St. Elmd to blossom out in pretentious appear ance and comfortable interior, with the cuisine of the very best. The people of our city have been promised new hotels, and the remodelling of the present hotel, so often and failed as often, that it has to a more or less extent liegan to think the old status of things in hotel life might go on forever, and now that Mr. Milburn has taken possession, and with the aggressiveness he is known to have, interest has again been sharpened and belief is being formed that all we have sought, wishod and prayed for may come to pass.

Even when the ubiquitous reporter appears on the scene, he must preforce get behind and help push the water wagon, a feat he has got some used to in the past few years.

WILSON REFUSES TO BE POPULIST Asks To Have Name Taken Off Lincoln, Xebr.,—Evidently a pop ulist endorsement is proving embar rassing to Woodrow Wilson in his campaign for the democratic nom ination for the presidency, as he has written Secretary of State Wait re questing that his name be w ithdraw n from the Nebraska preferential bal lot as a populist. It is suggested that Mr. Wilson's trouble in this re gard is in the east as democrats and populists have fused so often in Ne braska that it is considered the proper thing instead of causing any adverse comment. In the east, how ever it is different and the fact he is running on a populist ticket goes ' down with as much relish as a dose of i< icac and comes up about as readi ly, Secretary Wait says lie will write at once to the various county clerks and inform them of Mr. Wilson's re quest, but in case where the ballot is being printed there is no assurance the name can be taken off. Following is the letter of Mr. Wilson: Trenton, N. J. April 1.—The Secre tary of State, Lincoln Neb,: Dear Sir—I am informed that someone has tiled my name on the primary ballot as a candidate of the populist party in Nebraska. I understand that this was done without the authorization of those gentlemen who are in charge of m^’ interest in your state. While I am grateful for the honer thus conferred on me, I feel that I must do as my friends wish, and so request you to kindly withdraw my name from the populist ticket Cor dially yours, Woodkow Wilson. J. W. Woodrough of Omaha is presi dent of the Wilson league in Nebras ka presumably is managing the cam paign in the state* The populist petition was signed by residents of Osceola, Polk county and contained twenty-six names.—Omaha Bee.

Oliver Mason is too w ell known to our people to make any special mention on our part necessary, but all know him to be an energetic, go-ahead man. thoroughly acquainted with the needs of the people along the line of farm ers. needs, and are assured that his advent ihto business in the city means much to us all. William H. Wait Murdered In Mexico Last Saturday. April 6th. Wilber S. Waite received a telegram that his brother. Wm. II. Waite, who has his home near Aehtol, Vera Cruz. Old Mexico, had been killed the preceding Thursday, April 4th. the telegram being sent by a friend, who heard of the killing, supposedly by insurrectos but contained no particulars, the friend merely adding that he was going right over and see about it, he living a few miles away from the dead man's home. Since then, and up to this writing, Tuesday morning no further word has been received and no particulars of the tragic death can be penned. On tiie day the telegram was re* ceived and but a few hours before. Mr. Waite here had received a letter from the brother saying matters were warm there and that lie had placed his personal property in the hands of the American consul and would write later from Guatemala, showing that he evidently was preparing to leave the thrice-accursed country when he met his untimely death. Will Waite, as he was familiarly called and known to our people, was born in Hunterdon county, Sew Jer sey. on the 6th day of June 1856, hence would have been 56 years old on his next birthday. His parents and brothers came here in 1880, he following three years later, and was well known to all the old residents of this section of the country and well liked by every body, being quiet inoffensive and of most genial dispo siton. Some fifteen years ago. Will Waite, accompanied by an aunt, went to Old Mexico to make a home. A couple of years later, the aunt died and was buried there, where probably the re mains of our departed friend By this time repose. Since the death of the aunt he had lived by himself never having been married, and his work was done by Mexican peons, he merely over seeing the property interests. Some three years since, W. S. Waite went down to see him and made quite an extensive visit, returning with word that lie was doing well and en joying life. Last year, during tha Madero uprising, the unfortunate man visited here some three months with his aged mother, brothers and other relatives, our W. S. Waite returning with him to Mexico on a second visit of several weeks. While Mr. Waite was here on his visit, in speaking of the dangers in that country, he expressed no fears of personal injury, his many years of residence there making him familiar with the people and surroundings and he laughed at the fears expressed by friends and relatives, butalas, he has met the fate feared, and the tragedy rests heavily on relatives and friends who have known and loved him so long. Asking in regard to his burial, our M r. Waite said the body was undoubt edly buried there by the side of the aunt, as the weather is such in tnat country that it could not be kept in a state of preservation for more than a day, so it could be prepared for shipment and sent up here. It was thought further particulars would have been received ere this, but up to this writing have net been received. $10.00 Reward We will pay $10 to any person giv ing information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the party oi parties who have been breaking the glass insulators and shooting into the poles along our telephone line be tween town and the west bridge.
