Thinks Pensions Under New Law Will Not Be Sent Ont Oct 4.

J. L. Hagins, who gets his pension through the Milwaukee, Wis., office, recently addressed a communication to the pension agent there, asking about the pensions provided for by the act of May 11, 1912. He received prompt reply to the' effect that the pension office is so congested with business that the delay will be considerable. He says, in part, “I doubt if certificate under act of May 11, 1912, for which application receipts are stamped May 28, 1912, will reach this or any other pension office by Oct. 4th. We have for weeks been receiving certificate applications which were filed or before May 20th, nothing beyond. Eight days difference must mean about 200,000 or 250,000 applications, land that is a big pile to get away with, considering that both age and service have to be verified before the new certificate can be issued. The increases will date from the day application was received _at Pension Bureau and adjustments made prior to Oct. 4th, will be made to July 4th, and adjustments not reached on Oct. 4th will be made to that day. Up to Sept. Ist this office had received 1,260 new certificates under act of May 11th and all had gone out.” Ht will be observed that the agent speaks of Oct 4th as the date of adjustment. Most of the p/ensioners here and all who receive their pensions through the Indianapolis office do not get them until Nov. 4th and it is quite probable that some, at least, will receive their increases at that time.

Dispatches from Douglas, Arizona, state that a large band of Mexican rebels is encamped within three miles of the U. S. border and prepared to attack Agua Prieta, a town held by the federate.

The rebel general replied that they did not expect to pay any attention where the bullets lit. The U. S. has a large force of cavalry patroling the border.

Mrs. Wilbur Criswell Followed and Attacked by Husband From Whom She Has Been Separated. I ■ ■ .1 ■ ■ Cries for help emlnatlng from a woman brought Ed Duvall and one or Wilbur Criswell at the corner of Front and Rutsen streets in Rensselaer shortly before 7 o’clock Thursday evening. The appeals also brought about all the people in that neighborhood to their doors. It was not yet dark, although it was difficult in the twilight to see just what was going on, but Mrs. Criswell was lying on the ground and her husband was either sitting on her or holding her down with his knees. Asked what he was doing he made charges of unfaithfulness against his wife. He then left and his wife hurled some’very harsh terms at him as he departed. Mrs. Criswell left her husband and four children, ages from 4 to 9, some five weeks ago. They were living in the country about 2% miles southeast of town. She alleges that he was jealous and after making certain charges against her, ordered her to leave his home. She came to Rensselaer and procured work at the Rensselaer Hotel. She was interviewed by a reporter for The Republican this Friday morning and stated that she was afraid of her husband. She charges him with having threatened her and says that she has been afraid to leave the hotel because he was often standing near the bottom of the stairs watching for her. On Thursday evening, she said, she wanted to go out on the street to do some shopping and she went down the rear stairs of the hotel. She Intended to go to the Leopold residence corner and back to town, taking that roundabout way to avoid meeting him. She had gone only a short way, she stated, until she saw him following her and she quickened her pace and he started to run.. She says she asked him what he wanted and he said he wanted her to go with him and she said she would no-t. He then caught hold of her and threw her to the ground. She says that he did not strike her. She told him before he threw her down that she would call for help if he touched her and she made good her word and her cries for help were hear all over that part of town. (Mre. Criswell says that her husband always provided well for herself and’their children but that he was jealous and that they have separated on this account and that she proposed to make this one final. She said that the children had a good home with his parents and did not exhibit much regret that she could not be with them. Criswell hurried to the hitchbarn and got his horse after the assault on his wife. He is supposed to have returned to his home in the country. His wife declares that she will have him arrested and placed under a peace bond. She denies that he has ever had grounds 'for jealousy and says that the man whose name he has coupled with hers is a "perfect gentleman.”

Campaign On in Dead Earnest At Remington—Two Men Fight.

Remington Press. Considerable amusement was furnished our people Tuesday morning when Abe Wahl and Jake Ochs, Sr., bantam weights, clashed on the scales of the Zimmerman’s coal office. Abe is a democrat and Ochs a republican. In the heat of a political argument, Abe accused Jake of calling him naughty names. Jake denied using any offensive language and called Abe a liar. Abe grabbed Ochs and shoved him through a window glass, cutting both on the hands and in the faces. After rolling around on the floor for. a few minutes, Referee James Callagan called the bout a draw. The contest was one of the bloodiest ever witnessed in Remington. Both participants had blood streaming from their faces and hands and considerable soap and water was required to put them in presentable appearance. The boys were both able to be out on the streets the next day.

Sixty Hundred Pounds of Honey From One Farm.

Kentland Enterprise. Walter Jensen and B. F. Davis were down from the Village Saturday. Mr. Jensen was selling honey. Will have about three tons for the market this fall. When you stop to figure that it takes about 16,000 bees to carry a pound of honey you may get some idea of the size of “stock” farm Mr. Jensen is running.

The Two Great Issues.

With great clearness and accuracy President Taft has stated the two great issues now before t£e American people. The first is the retention, on a sound and permanent basis, of the popular constitutional government under which, with an independent judiciary, the country has steadily progressed. The other is the continuance of the prosperity which has accompanied republican administrations and which has been especially observable under President Taft There never was a time, however, when it was so important that the, American people should understand the vital necessity of remaining steadfast to the' wise principles of government which our forefathers made on the basis of our national greatness. The radical theories which are ndw being put forward under the plausible name of progressive policies are the very rocks upon which students of history have predicted the American republic would eventually be wrecked. While it may not be easy to understand all the intricate details of government, there is no difficulty in appreciating the value of continued prosperity. Even if greater and more vital questions were not involved, there would be sufficient reason for re-elect-ing President Taft in the one fact that a continuance of his administration means the maintenance of business stability, commercial progress, universal employment and national credit The democratic party, on the other hand, offers nothing but vague and unsubstantial promises and has no record except one of incapacity and Incompetency in government with general distress existing during the unhappy years when it was entrusted with power. _
