“Best Businessmen in Any City,” Says Traveling Salesman:

A traveling salesman who has ) been coming to Rensselaer for the past ten years and who has become quite well acquainted with merchants outside of the line for which he travels, stated to The Republican reporter this morning that Rensselaer had the best set of businessmen from start to finish that he had ever known a town to have. The bus was just pulling up at the hotel and he pointed down street and said with much enthusiasm: ‘Take it right up and down this street and you won’t find a better lot of businessmen in any town in the country. I don’t confine myself to their ability but to their qualities of citizenship and cordiality. They speak to you as though they were glad to see you in town and I want to. say that T really find enjoyment in coming to Rensselaer.” The compliment was well deserved and we want to let. our fellow citizens know that their good qualities are observed by outsiders as well as at home.

RESULTS THAT REMAIN

Are Appreciated by Rensselaer ! People. Thousands who suffer from backache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finding only temporary benefit. | This is discouraging, but there is I one kidney medicine that has! earned a reputation for lasting re-1 suits and there is plenty of proof of its merit right here In Rensselaer. Here is testimony of one who used Doan’s Kidney Pills years ago, and now makes his testimony even stronger. Jacob R. Wilcox, Dayton St, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “The startlement I gave for publication & few years ago in praise of Doan’s* Kidney Pills still holds good. The cure they made has been permanent. I had pains through my loins and was in misery night and day. I always felt tired and worn-out and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Washington Puzzled About Present Mexican Situation.

Tuesday papers published dispatches stating that Huerta had issued an ultimatum giving the United States until midnight to recognize the Huerta Mexican government. Dispatches a few hours later denied that an ultimatum had been issued and stated that Envoy Lind and President Huerta had been in friendly consultation. A long cipher dispatch received by the Washington government con gained some puzzles and the full intent of Huerta was not figured out. The senate suspended debate awaiting developments. Huerta holds on to the presidency, notwithstanding many reports during the past few weeks that he was to be unseated almost any day. He wants peace provided it will leave him in complete control and will assure the crushing of the various revolutions against him. If he can not secure this he does not want mediation. The United States plan was to secure bis approval of a popular election. Having secured his seat by treachery and murder, he will not consent to its abandonment quietly and it is quite probable that he would start another revolution if he was removed from power. This condition existing assures a continued hostility that will destroy commerce and agriculture throughout the troubled country and is quite certain to make United States intervention necessary at some time, even though there was ■not an American in the country. The administration is following a very creditable policy in averting the trouble and giving Americans a ■chance to leave, but those who have ■established homes there and have investments that represent a life’s work, are loath to leave them. Huerta is a man of such cunning deception that little dependence -can be placed in him and an antiAmerican outbreak is possible at any time, but President Wilson anci iSecretary Bryan are trying to avert it and the only danger is that their credibility of Mexican promises may bectoo strong.

THAW CAPTURED IT CANADIAN TOWN

May Be Deported as Undesirable But Plans Legal Battle to Retain His Freedom. ' Harry Thaw, who made his escape from Matteawan asylum, New York, Sunday morning, was arrested by a constable in a'little Canadian town Tuesday morning. He was recognized by a New Hampshire sheriff while a passenger in the Maine Central railroad and was followed and arrested after crossing the border on the sheriff’s complaint. A Canadian law declares foreigner® undesirable and provides for their deportation if they are insane or criminal. It is thought probable that Thaw will be sent back to New Hampshire, from which state he entered Canada. He will fight action and also any effort to return him to Matteawan. The Republican has heard a great deal of talk among traveling men and all seem to be glad that Thaw made his escape and 'to favor his freedom. They say that his murder of White was justifiable under the circumstances and point ■to many instances where men with limited means have avenged the destruction of their homes by a stain of blood and have gone entirely free. Thaw’s money seems to have operated against him.

Open Revolt Against Currency Program of Administration.

• Democrats have always... had trouble with currency legislation and since their cure-all policy of free and unlimited coinage of silver iji 1896 the party has been unable to unite on a program. President Wilson sent a message to congress severel weeks ago setting forth that currency legislation was necessary as pn adjunct to the tariff measure which has occupied the attention of the special session for more than four months. He suggested that a measure embodying his Ideas and certain to be just the thing for the nation’s welfare had already been formulated. He urged congress to stay on the job during the hot weather and keep right at the work of "rescuing the country.” They have stayed and that is about all that has occurred 1 except that now it is admitted that many of the prominent democrats have found that the currency measure that had Mr. Wilson’s endorse ment and which probably had the approval of that marvelous currency expert, the secretary of state, will not stand for It. The currency craft Is going to pieces and if a measure is to be agreed upon it will have to be a vastly different one from that introduced at the earnest demand of the president. The tariff measure still hangs Are. Democrats seem afraid to pass it It is the "iniquitous” Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, but democrats in special session have spent more than four months In an effort to revise It or substitute another measure for it. In the beginning they proposed to have It completed and be adjourned by the first of June. And congress Is s|ill “staying” and also staying still so far as doing anything is concerned.

Clark and Mason to Oppose Shultz and Burroughs Sunday.

Mason will be the battery for Rensselaer and Shultz and Burroughs for Monon. Rensselaer defeated Shultz In the only game between these teams this year. The game will be called at 2:30. Mason Is to be used behind the bat 1 because of the injury to Wilcox’s arm and is at his request. Wileox leads the local batting list and it is quite probable that he will be used in the game on that account, or may be on the bench and put in as a pinch hitter. It improbable that a number Of fans will go to Monon to witness the contest.
