Mexican Revolution Looks More Serious Than at Any Other Time.

The resignation of President Diaz seems to have a string to it. He wanted peace declared first. The revolutionists thought he might change his mind and not* resign. They then precipitated a general engagement and all day Tuesday there was fighting in the streets of Jaurez. • The revolution has taken a serious turn and the prospects of peace are more remote than ever before since the revolution began. Shots from the battle Tuesday reached the city of El Paso, Texas., and again the demand is made that President Taft take steps to prevent fighting along the border. The insurrectos seen to be gaining recruits and it is now probable that Madero will assume an active campaign and force the federals to make important concessions. Ex-Trustee Wash Cook, of Hanging Grove township, was a Rensselaer visitor today. Things look pretty good in that part of Jasper. Corn planting will not start extensively before the first of next week; oats is looking good and there is the greatest prospect for fruit there has been in many years. Clyde Fulk has a fine peach orchard that should make him considerable money. H. M. Willits also has a fine orchard.
