Of the rebel shells and bullets reached

On the first day Of the battle it was
the government force that burned
their powder Yesterday it was the
rebels turn to be aggressive. Diaz
brought forth heavier guns than he
had used before.

were the appearance in the outskirts

The American ambassador and min.
isters Of Great Britain Germany and

inhuman warfare" but their protests
have been ia vain. A brief armistiee
was arranged for a visit OF the diplo.

operations were almost uninterrupted.
AT no time was there a long interval

reason. women and children are being

CONCRETE PAVEMENT.
IRnrlinpfnn AaUkeNe

Considerable concrete pavement is
being put down in Iowa this year. y
few years ago, people sagely shook
their heads, when cement pavement
was suggested. That was the time,
when an occasional architect and
builder was advising his clients. that
some people were going cement
looney" But finally the cement users
triumphed and cement is now be-
coming one of the favoriIe paving ma
terias and as was the case with
bridge and culvert work will come near
10 perfection IS its use becomes more
general. Hampton awarded contracts
a sl.20 per ward. which is considered
very reasonable figure, while Clear
Lake pays Sl.26 and Mason City. Sl.35.
OF course, there may be some differ
ence in the specifications. The lower
course of concrete may be heavier at
Mason City than at Hampton. And
there may be other reasons. If the
specifications were exactly the same
it would seem as il Mason City. where
the cement is made. ought to get her
cement pavement a bit cheaper. than
any other town in the state. instead Of
paying more for it, than do number
Of ether Iowa towns. But even at the
5iason City figures. the pavement IS
VERY cheap. where the people get a
good job. And there have been cases,
all4too numerous, where the people
paid a high price for asphalt, and then
they got bum" job.
