On Monday of this week, the St.

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.

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.

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.
