WHAT MEXICO NEEDS TO MAKE
ia CITY.

Mexico Is one Of the very bes,
towns Of lie size In the country; At
TIE same time there Es no reason why
4 should not be a city. The chief OBJ
Jet Of The organization Of the Bust
neas Men's Association is TO make
CHS town a city. We have moss O;
the elements necessary, but there are
= few lacking, and II all Of our bud
neas men and cirizens win work to-
gethss many Substantial improve
msnss IA be made during 1899.
Our streets in the business portion
Of the city should bepayed with brick.
Our merchants should sell for cash.
We should have more business and
less politics.
Our people should all pay their
debts.
Fety Jealousy should be done away
with.
We need fifteen miles Of rock roads
in four directions from Mexico.
Every citizen should patrOnize home
industries.
Every man. woman and child should
always speak wen Of Mexico.
We should have steam hea. in the
Court House.
The Military Academy should be
rebuilt.
The Old Ladies' Home should be-
come an assured fact.
At least one or two factories should
be started.
Those factories We have should be
literally and cordially supported.
If all Of our citizens and business
men VIII work together, some of
these improvements VIII be brought
about during this year. One viii
bring another, a half dozen viii follow
two; and, If We once get started in
an intelligent manner, Mexico win
become & city before we know it.
This town is located in the heart of q
most prosperous country, and there is
no reason why it should not grow.
The farmers of Audrain and adjoining
counties appreciate the push and
enterprise of our merchants and citi-
zens. They come miles and miles
over very bad roads to patronize us.
We owe ii to them to make these sub
stantial improvements If we expect to
hold their patronage.

WANT LEAGUE
CATTLEMEN TO ORGANIZE
AGAINST THIEVES.
Cattle Stolen in Sumner, Kingman and
Sedgwick Counties.

Southwest sedgwick. northwest Sumner,
Kingman and Harper counties are over
run just now with cattle thieves. Mr.. L.
S. Baker, who lives between Oatville and
Conway Springs, was here yesterday look
ing for three head Of mich cows which
were stolen from his pasture last Tues
day night. George Barton;who lives seven
miles southwest of Cheney, lost two head.
and since Mr.. Baker has been hunting for
his own cattle, he has found a number Of
men who have lost from one to five head
in the last two months. Major W. L.
Brown OF Kingman was here yesterday.
and said that cattle stealing was the worst
ever known in Kingman county. He says
that no less than twenty-five head have
been stolen in that county in the last ten
days.
The thieves find pastures where the own
ers do not go to look after cattle more
than once or twice a week. or less fire.
quently, They go into a herd OF fifty or
a hundred head. There IS always running
water in the pasture, so that it is not nee
esary to give the cattle close attention.
They take one or two, and maybe 1t is a
week or ten days before they are missed.
BY that time the cattle are sold and ship
ped, or butchered, and the thieves are
innocently driving around over the country
looking for other prey. Today a cattle
mems protective association VIII be formed
at Kingman, and it is suggested that dele
gates be sent from Sumner and Sedgwick
or similar association formed here. Each
member is assessed so per year each to
catch the thieves, until the thieving is
stoned
