INTERVENTION STILL POSSIBLE IN MEXICO

If President’s Personal Envoy To Mexico Accomplishes Nothing, IT. S. May Send Troops. John Lind, former governor of Minnesota, is on his way to Mexico as the personal envoy of President Wilson. He is workings under instructions not made public, but presumably to try to induce Huerta to release the reigns of government and agree to be bound by an election to choose his successor. Dispatches indicate that Huerta will not accept Mr. Lind, inasmuch as the United States has not acknowledged the Huerta regime, 'there is nothing to suggest that there is any chance for Lind’s mission to succeed. He can not speak the language and is not a schooled diplomat. President Wilson has never received any encouragement faom Mexico that should lepd encouragement to his plan to! send a pgace-maker there. The senate of the United States now believes that this country may be compelled to send troops into Mexico to protect American lives and interests. There is a growing sentiment that we should not longer put up with the destruction of American life and property beyond the Bio Grande.

So dry are pastures around Pleasant Hill, Mo„ that farmers are feeding their trees to their cows. In some instances farmers facing a shortage of feed have resorted to cutting limbs ’from oak trees and tossing them to‘ their stock. So fond have the cattle become of this delicacy, according td a prominent farmer, that they strain the fences in their anxiety for the next meal when they hear the ax and saw.

Big Crowd Attended The Union Sunday School Picnic.

The Union S. 8. picnic Thursday was a big success and probably the largest attended Sunday School picnic ever held in Jasper county. It was a success in every other way, too, and men and women as well as the boys and girls had a splendid time. The dinner was abundant and toothsome. The chicken and all other viands found favor with the big crowd and they almost cleaned up everything that was taken to the grove. There were two big swings, several games, and baseball and soft ball. It is said six games of ball were going on all at the same time. The young people were transported to and from the . picnic grounds by automobiles, hay ladders, etc. Several cars made a number of trips. a

Temperance sentiment grows when saloons are absent. Beaver township and Morocco went “dry” four years ago by a majority of 59. Two years ago the majority was 79. This year it was 83 and it would have been quite a little more had not a number of Greeks been naturalized for the express purpose of voting "wet.” It was hard work to get the saloons out of Rensselaer, but it is quite certain that there are rainy voters now who would support the "dry” cause who would not have done so a half dozen years ago.

Correcting A False And Unfavorable Statement.

A local newspaper published at the time of the Gene Greene and Elizabeth Kleissendorff marriage that Miss Bel Laßue, who played the pipe organ at the ceremony, was asked l y the groom to play a funeral march at the beginning of the ceremony and a rag-time selection at the close. This is denied by Miss Laßue, who states that Mr. Greene made no such request, that she selected the music herself for the opening and placed “Baccarole” for the wedding march. During the ceremony slfe played “The Venetian Love Song” and following It “My Persian Rose.” The latter selection was at the suggestion of Earle Reynolds. Sensational have been making quite light of the vaudeville singer because of the wholly false statement that a wedding dirge was played, which might be interpreted as very disrespectful to his wife, whose death occurred only last February. Earle Reynolds champions the cause of Mr. Greene in a spirited manner. He says that Greene found the Yahnke woman singing in a cabaret theatre and learned that she was a grass widow with a child to support. She had a very good voice and he decided to befriend her and did so by procuring some better paying engagements for her. That he went further and bought her a number of things and equipped her for • vaudeville engagements x that brought her a better income. He states that his attftude toward her was simply one of friendship and that he never had any intention of marrying her. Greene, he says, will procure the services of an able lawyer and fight the- breach of promise suit vigorously. y

Another Benton County Ball Flayer Making Good.

A Chicago paper today publishes a large picture of Fred Williams, of Wadena, now with the Chicago Cubs. He is called “Cy” in baseball parlance. Williams visited the family of H. E. Hartley in Rensselaer last fall. He was then a student at Notre Dame University, but he graduated from that institution in June and soon after joined the Cubs, with whom he played during the summer vacation last year. He is clouting out the ball with regularity. Thursday he got a single and a triple in four times up. The American says of him: “A man who is hitting the ball and who did not cost slß,ooo,’’ which is a dig at the Sox hit-less wonder, Chappflle, who cost that sum and is failing to make good.

Dr. Alfred Heldon, 62 years old, living twelve miles from Bloomington, this stale, died Tuesday night of heart failure. Just before his death Dr. Heldon called the members of his family to him and told them he was dying. He made out and signed his own death certificate and wrote a note to the coroner asking him not to hold an Inqueet. Vjce President Marshall was smiling yesterday over $35 tucked away in hi£ pocketbook, while a fivedollar bill burned a hole in the overalls of Billy Walker, a negro janitor at the Capitol. As the vice president whirled around In his big chair in the senate Tuesday his pocketbook containing S4O fell out. He did not miss It until evening. The janitor noticed it when cleaning up and presented It to Mr. Marshall Wednesday, He received $5 as a reward.

Another Rensselaer Man Who Recalls His Great Grandfather.

Several weeks ago The Republican made mention of the recollection William Walters, Sr, had of seeing his great grandfather, who was past 100 years ot age. Another Rensselaer man ..Iso recalls having seen his great grandfather, and of his mysterious disappearance at the age of 106 years. The man Is James Thomson. When he was a little boy about 6 years of age he resided near Greensburg, Ind, and his mother’s grandfather lived with them. He was 106 years of age. He had come from Virginia some years before and was very anxious to return them He was quite headstrong and one day declared that he was going to drive back to his old Virginia home. He was of marvelous strength considering his great age and when he went to the barn with his belongings in an old carpetbag and saddled a fine black horse which he owned, the family began to realize that he meant to carry out his desire. They begged him to desist but he would not andfinally drove out of the bamlot. Mr. Thomson’s father followed him on foot for about three miles, begging - him to return. Finally Thomson returned and expected that his wife’s grandfather would come back, but he did not return and not a. word was ever learned about «him from that day. He had about SIOO with him and 4t Is presumed that he fell a victim of robbers. Are there any others in Jasper county who recall having seen a great grandparent?

Otis Crandall Leaves New York Giants For St. Louis.

\ ~ • i > ■ -v •j- ; Otis Cfandall, the Wadena, ball player, who has for several yearsbeen one of the New York Giants’ pitchers, has been traded to the Bt. Louis Cardinals for a catcher. MeGraw was in serious need of a good catcher and St. Louis of several pitchers. Crandall has not been an effective Winning man and it is quite probable that he will neyer be able to make much of a mark again as a pitcher. He is a splendid pinch hitter, however, and has batted above the .300 mark this year, which makes his release by New York look peculiar. Carl Crandall, who played shortstop with Indianapolis during the early part cf this year, has been out of the Fame part of the time lately, but during the past several days has been working at second base. He is a hard worker, covers lots of ground but makes a good many errors. His batting is not very'good either. Otis will not be able to get into the world’s series, which will tut him out of any place from $2,500 to $4,000.
