Sharp twinges often darted through my sides and were followed by a dull, nagging ache in the small of my back. The kidney secretions were unnatural and I had headaches.

Scattered Hit Clothing Over Monon Yards and Showed Fight When Police Went After Him. / Lafayette Journal. When the good people living in the shops vicinity saw a man giving a life-like imitaton of “September Morn” in'the Mo'non yards near the depot last evening their artistic views did not harmonize with the model’s. So they sent in a hurry up call to poliee headquarters to bring the shameless person some clothes. Officer Eversole and Captain Kluth, accompanied by Police Commissioner Alfred Sucese, responded in the city service wagon. The crazed man they found wandering about in an aimless manner and clothes were strewn In all directions. JWhen the officers approached he became violent and before he could be overpowered Officer Eversole was knocked down. All this happened directly in front of the milk train, which was forced to stop to avoid running over the combatants. The clothless figure was finally made meek and acceded to their demands by compromising with wearing a coat, and thus attired was escorted to the automobile and taken to jail. His name could not be learned, and his condition was probably caused by the heat, which affeeted his brain.

Ambassador Wilson Galled For Conference With President.

The seriousness of the Mexican situation is now openly admitted by government officials, and it is known that the note received by the state department from Germany indicated that this country should do something to put an end to the strife in that country. Wednesday President Wilson recalled Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, the representative of this country at Mexico, and a conference with the president will follow his return, which is to be expedited by travel on battleships provided a commercial boat is not in waiting. It is said tbatjkmbassador Wilson will not be returned to Mexico and rumors say that John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, is to succeed him. Internal strife continues in Mexico and the elections which Huerta had promised for next October can not- be held, it is claimed, owing to the chaotic conditions. Huerta urged recognition of his government, but the United' States has refused, although several foreign nations have given recognition. In this country there is every certainty that the Huerta reign resulted from cold-blooded treachery and murder and the state department has wisely withheld recognition. Leading diplomats believe that the crisis which has long been threatened will come soon. Just wthat it will he none seem to know. But that the internecine warfare which has so long continued can be stopped only by intervention seems conclusive and that the powers have held conferences and agreed upon a demand that the United States guarantee protection to their subjects in Mexico is thought probable. - The destruction to American interests In the interior of Mexico has been extensive, while many Americans have padd the death penalty for trying to protect their interests. The doctrine of Monroe withholds other countries from taking a hand and justly requires that the United States furnish adequate protection for foreign subjects and interests.

NUDE STRANGER CREATED FUROR

MONON NEXT TEAM TO TACKLE ATHLETICS

Swift Semi-Pro Organisation From Railroad Town Will Be Here for Contest Sunday. £ J. J. Blair’s fast Monon team will be here Sunday to play Kip’s Athletics and the locals will do all in their power to get away with the game. Clark should be in prime condition, not having pitched since the Lowell game, two weeks ago, while the infield will present a much better appearance than it did in the last gfime. This will restore Elder to left field, while Dennistou will be at bis post in right. With Conn at Short and Robinson at third base the line-up will be the same that it was in the Wheatfield game, except that Parks will play second instead of Morgan. It is .an all home team, while the Monon team is composed largely of hired players. It is expected that the largist crowd of the season will be out to witness the game. Financially the team is in'splendid shape, having made money on every game except the Momence game, which almost broke even. Sunday, July 27th, the team will go to Remington to play a return game. Remington was defeated here oarfy in the season. It has continued to play ball since and is winning most of its games, having defeated Reynolds last Sunday, 11 to 1.

Jasper County Against The World This Year.

The writer had a very enjoyable trip this morning with R. A. Parkison, and it convinced us that Jasper county Is equal to any place in the country for crops this year. It is hardly just, probably, to say “this year,” for that Is the case every year, and a careful comparison during four OT five years hack between the results in this county and on rfhe higher priced Illinois land convinces us that year after year the farms in Jasper county are producing equally as much and in many cases more than the $250 and S3OO land in Illinois. The Republican has been preach ing higher prices for Jasper county land for a'long time and now we can see no reason why any well lolated, well improved farm, where the eoil Is right, should sell for a copper less than S2OO. Next year we expect to say $250. A few years ago The Republican said that, there was a feast of bargains for land buyers in this county. And there was. Land was purchased at prices ranging from $75 to sllO per acre. The same farms are now held at $125 to $l6O and some have sold fortlrnt ’ much. Other farms In the same Neighborhood are regarded by every person who knows land valuations as being S2OO propositions at this time, while in many cases no offer would tempt the owners. Illinois men have, corncob Jasper county and made themselves rich from the advances In land values, while enjoying crops that have year after year equalled what they could have raised on the same acreage in Illinois. The bargain counter is being well worked over and a recent investigation of farms for sale furnished some surprise, in that there are now not a great many good farms on the market. But the bargains stiM remain. Not $55 and $75 and SIOO bargains. That day has passed. But any man who can buy land within ten miles of Rensselaer and who has the ability to be discriminating about soil and can get it up to $l5O or $175 will find that it Is worth S2OO the very minute he gets the deed. This variation from the text is a natural one, as we hope to content our land owners with the belief that they are most fortunately situated and that they should not get too anxious to sell. A desire lor more and cheaper land to satisfy the needs of a large and expanding family is sufficient reason to sell out and seek a home elsewhere, hut there are not many other adequate reasons. A trip to Pleasant Ridge is a delightful auto dash now and shows fields of corn that are rarely equalled. A fine healthy stalk, strong leaves of rich color, an almost perfect stand and much corn as high as your head and still growing, an occasional field of ripening oats, and well kept properties. A location almost perfect and wealth fairly bubbling from the rich fields. It is a picture of'contentment; it means $250 farm land before you know It. The resignation of Prof. Dean Conant WorcetsAr, secretary of the interior of the Philippine government, was received Tuesday by the admlnfstratlon. —«—r —— — Butter wrappers, any quantity, plain or printed, may be had at The Republican office

YOU CAN REGISTER NAME OF YOUR FARM

Law Will Give You Legal Right to Name if Properly Recorded— Blanks for Purpose So far County Recorder Scott has bad no applications for blanks for registering the names of farms, and consequently has not ordered any blanks for the purpose, but it is probable that at almost any time some one will mlake application. Thefirst who come are the first served. If you have a name for your farm and want to avoid infringement the proper thing is to have it recorded. If some one should fancy the name you have selected and should beat you to the recorders office he would be legally entitled to the name, even though you had used it for several years. Over in White county two or three applicants wanted to use the same name. An exchange says: “There Is nothing that should be more popular in the community than the *egistcred home name. Every farm home should be given a distinctive designation, and there are few residence places that would n* t well up.'omt some beautiful idea of situation that could be given the place.” The Montlcello Herald adds: “The Herald would add the suggestion that when a name has been selected for a term, it he displayed, together with the name of the owner, somewhere on the farm in plain view from the road. There is nothing more unsatisfactory to the traveler on a country road than to see a fine farm without any means, of knowing who owns it. And now that hundreds travel the country roads where only a few passed ten yearn ago, this courtesy from farmers would he all the more appreciated by the public.

John Priest and Sons Strike It Rich in Oklahoma.

Lafayette JoumaL Roy and. Harry Priest, sons of John Priest, the genial traveling passenger agent of the Monon railroad, recently purchased 1,675 acres of oil and coal lands in Haskell and Latimer counties, Oklahoma. Soon after their purchase, a well on an adjoining lot produced 1,500 barrels of oil in one day. As John Priest holds an interest with his sons in the odl lands, Thoe, Grant, president of one of the large oil companies in Tulsa, Okla.. made a trip to this city to see Mr. Priest.
