It’s the kind that keeps stirrkig in a caldron of comedy-gripping scenes, thrills, love, romance and nerve. The play is powerfully protrayed by a cast of conspicuous merit.

Usurping President of Mexico Sends Ourt Note to Washington.— May Try To Whip Us. President Huerta, who ascended to the presidency of Mexico after the most cowardly treachery to President Madera and who sanctioned the murder of Madera .in order to prevent the exposure of his act, and who has very properly been denied recognition by both the Taft and Wilson administrations, is now on a high horse because President Wilson has sent John Lind to Mexieo City as a peace maker. Huerta has now sent a note to the officials at Washington to the effect that unless John Lind, the President’s special envoy, brings recognition of the Huerta government he will not be welcomed in Mexieo and will riot be dealt with by Huerta'or his government. A dispatch to Washington from another source is even more threatening, and states that Mexieo will take up arms against the United States if it undertakes either mediation or intervention. Huerta is certainly proving his unworthiness of recognition and his attitude is the cause of activity in Washington official circles. **fhe president and Secretary Bryan regard the situation as tense and there is a growing probability that the United States Will be compelled to send troops across the border for the protection of American lives and to keep them there as a guarantee of a cessation of the Mexican bush-whacking warfare.

Morocco Vandals Broke Plate Glass While Drunk.

Moro'cco Courier—Some vandals, miscreants, and low browed hang-ers-on of the saloon proceeded to wreak out their vengeance early Sunday morning by pounding a Deer bottle through one of the plate glass windows of the Courier block. The room where the damage was done is occupied by Geo. Flowers as a bakery. Whether it was young fellows or the whiskey in them that s accountable for the lawless deed is a question. It probably is both. Of course punishment should be meted out to such but who shall apprehend them. In the city the police force under the mayor and the detectives work on such a case at once, but in a (country town there is seldom anything done by the authorities. Hence one, though payng taxes for protection, is at the mercy of the gang which every town :s infested with/

WILL ABANDON PART OF COLLEGE PLANS

Contractors’ Bids So Much Exceeded Architect’s Estimates That All Was Not Possible. Only part of the extensive building plans at St. Joseph’s college will be carried out this year, owing to the fact that the architect had greatly underestimated the cost of the construction and the money available proved insufficient to accomplish all that had been in prospect. The architect’s plans included the raising of the gymnasium and the erection of a new science hall with a large swimming pool below. The architect estimated the cost at 140,000. It is understood that the best figures procured from contractors made the cost about $75,000. It was a day or two ago to abandon the construction of the science hall, but to let the contract for the raising of the gymnasium and the completion of that building according to the plans of the architect. Contractor Becker, of Chicago, will raise the building, but the contract for the brick work has not been let. Prank Medland, of Logansport, will probably get the job.

Dr. William G. Todd, 91 years old, died Thursday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ella A. Billings, 4714 North Robey street, Chicago. Dr. Todd was a friend and contemporary of Dr. Daniel Brainard, founder of the Rush Medical College, and graduated with the first class from that institution in 1844. The three replicas of Columbus’ sailboats, the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina, will leave their places in the Jackson Park lagoon and set sail for South Chicago early next week.

Mexico, after a visit here with her mother, Mrs. S. L. Jordan, of Barkley township. Mrs. McCormick states that the Mexicans are the very lowest class of people they have in that part of the country. They perform railroad labor under contractors, live in the little adobe huts, wear few clothes and exist rather than live. The women sit in front of the wretched homes and smoke cigarettes all day long. Very few of them rise above the common class. Mrs. McCormick’s husband is a dentist. Both are natives of Illinois and they are fjuite well pleased with life 'in New Mexico. Funny Harry Green, “The King Pin of Barnyard Comedy,” has the distinct reputation of having never faced an audience without convulsing it with laughter. The instant he appears on the stage a smile that won’t come off extends to the lats row in the gallery, and Harry Green plays to the gallery gods as much as he does to the lower floor. His coming always Rouses pleasant anticipation and all the more so because this is his 2nd season in his new play, “The Town Fool,” which is a happy combination of fun, song, dances, thrills, laughter and tears. The show proved a big hit last season. Special scenery is carried by the company for each act of the play. Will be at Ellis theatre, Rensselaer, Thursday, Aug. 14th.

VAN RENSSELAER CLUB HAD FINE PICNIC

75 Took Auto Trip, Had Picnic Dinner At Haielden and Attended Brook Band Concert. * The second annual picnic of the Van Rensselaer club took place at Hazelden Friday afternoon Thirteen cars made the trip via Remington and Goodland and three went across country. There were seventyfive people in all and they certainly had an enjoyable time. The picnic dinner, was spread soon after the arrival at Hazelden. It was a big spread, featuring spring chicken, and having about every other desirable thing to support it. Lemonade and ice cream, with fruit and cake were specialties of a very satisfying kind. The program of events followed the spread. Devere Yeoman demonstrated his superior fleetness over a number of contestants and a new pocket knife was given him for the performance. Miss Jane Moody distanced about twenty other young ladies in a 50yard dash and was awarded a pair of silk hose. Arthur and Maurine Tuteur won the affinity race, nosing out two or three other couples. Miss Tuteur received a Van Rensselaer- Club pennant. Elmer Wilcox out-hopped all the men at the picnic and will have a pair of silk-sox for special occasions. The suffragette oratorial contest went by default, but the prize, a box of candy, was awarded to Miss Georgia Harris, on a popularity vote. The adding contest was not held, owing to the fact that it was too dark to distinguish figures when the other events were completed. Three paper balloons were sent up, testimonials of the buoyant spirits that composed the picnicking crowd. All cars were driven to Brook, where the band concert was held, having been postponed from Thursday night in compliment to the visit -of the club. A special program had been prepared, printed programs being distributed among the large crowd. Two vocal solo numbers added to the enjoyment of the concert Dr. Aaron Wood is the leader of the hand and Jake Rich, Fred Longwell, Frank Davis and Editor Foresman helped make the evening pleasant for the visitors. Returning the machines took various routes homeward, arriving from 10:15 to 12 o’clock. All were profuse in their praise of the picnic.,
