PRINCESS THEATRE TO-NIGHT “THE HOUSE . OF MYSTERY” In Two Parts The detective story has alway had its admirers; fact the touch of mystery was what made A. Conan Doyle more famons than his “White Company.” The lure of thef unexpected, the rapid'march of events, leading to an unknown goal always serves the purpose of sensation and interest. Everyone with a drop of red blood will like “The .House of Mystery,” , There are some splendid touches of sensationalism when the detective ventures into the mysterious house, and finds it all pitfalls, treacherous floors, disappearing walls and hooded bandits. An exciting detective story of a gang of pickpockets and a girl who fell into their life because her fiance happened to buy her a hat like those worn by the women of the gang. An ingenious touch is an approach to the thieves-’ house through a phone booth in the store next door. Lots of action.

ATHLETICS TO MEET ST JOE NEXT SUNDAY
This Game to Be Played at the College—Another Fine Contest Ex- ' pec ted That-Day. ■ ' - * The Athletics are again scheduled for a ball game next Sunday, when, they will go to St. Joseph’s college to play a return game. Clark, who allowed the collegians only 6ne hit last Sunday, will again he on the rubber soy the Athletics, while it Is probable that Ricks, who also held the Athletics down to six hits, will he in the box ag^in. Fans are taking a great amount of interest in the game, owing to the fact that the college defeated the Athletics in the first game of the season and lost to them last Sunday, making the games stand one each. Spirited lots of ginger and snappy batting and accurate throwing made last Sunday’s game the best of the season and the last game is expected to rival it. (The college gropnds are in fine shape and this makes possible a good game. The admission at the college will be 25 cents and the Athletics get half of the receipts.
Will Murray Returns From Trip to Saskatchewan Farm.
Will Murray, administrator of the estate of the late Wallace Murray,' returned Wednesday from Rouleau, Saskatchewan, Canada, where 'his brother-in-law, Sam English, lives, and where the Murray estate had a half section of land, adjoining a half section owned by Mr. English. The estate was divided among the five heirs of Mr. Murray and the deeds recorded there by Will as administrator. The Canadian government requires that administrators furnish a bond which costs considerable money and this expense could be avoided only by the division of the land. The heirs will retain their allotments for the time, at least, as the price is advancing right along. Sam English is prospering there and is well pleased with the country. While Will was there Sam had a 40-acre field of oats thrashed out 'and it averaged 111% bushels to the acre. The other oats ran from 70 bushels up. Oats are now worth 24 cents a bushel there, which is about 11 cents lower than the price here, which hardly represents the cost of transportation. Other crops there are flax and wheat. Roth were fairly good this year, but Sam did not have out any wheat, which averaged from 20 to 50 bushels per acre. A new railroad has been run within five miles of their land and Sam will hereafter get his mail at Hearne, a new town on the new road.
Governor Marshall Did Not Get That New $7,000 Auto.
Thos. R. Marshall, who will be known in the future as the man who restored saloons to some fifty townships in Indiana and who started the raise in the state tax levy, will have to struggle along in an old automobile. The House of Representatives struck from the general deficiency bill the proposition to buy a new $7,000 automobile for his use.
The United States government usually follows a very liberal plan with its high officers and that is a correct course to pursue, but it seems so very queer that the VicePresident would be hankering for a $7,000 auto at government expense when only five years ago ihe was elected governor of Indiana after a campaign in which he talked extensively about the extravagance of our office holders and told how former governors had lived in houses for which the state paid the rent and how his pride would not permit the state to pay for a house for him. And now only five years after he was so enthused'over the “commoner” bombast he wants the government to buy him a $7,000 auto, provide a driver and take care of the upkeep. And Marshall is the man who quit practicing law and entered politics so that his conscience could have breathing room. Tom’s -tootsies seem to be in ft a big lot of the time.

FIRST FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY
Watseka to Meet Our High School at Riverside—Local Spirit is Being Enlivened. The first football of the-season for bur high school will take place Saturday of this week at Riverside Athletic Park, the visitors being the eleven from the Watseka high school where football has been animportant feature of high school athletics for several y&ars, just as it has in Rensselaer. The local team has been drilling diligently since school began and will present a good line-up in the first game, notwithstanding the injury to Duvall, who had been counted upon to materially strengthen the back field. Hanley is playing back of the line and is one of the snappiest players on the team, while Miller, Eigelsbach and McCarthy complete what is expected an especially strong back field. The line is fairly heavy and filled with ginger and there is reason to expect splendid work from it. The spirit of enthusiastic support from the entire student body is being created by yell practice at the school house and the girls and boys will enliven the game with some spirited rooting. The game takes place Saturday afternoon, being called fro 2 o’clock and tickets are selling at 25 cents each, the students having them for advance sale.

MEXICAN CRISIS MERELY DELAYED
General Feeling Exists That Split With U. S. is Near at HandDevelopments Awaited. 1 Both in Mexico City and throughout the United States does the opinion quite generally prevail that the time is coming when the United States can not longer put up with the conditions 1n Mexieo. The Wilson administration has proceeded slowly, too slowly to give protection to American 'interests in Mexico, but with the belief that these interests had better sjnffer than to start a war than may mean the loss of many lives and the cause of vast expense, but Huerta, the dictator, shows unmistakable evidence of trying to dominate the election set for the 26th of this month and the United States will doubtless ignore the election and again refuse recognition to Mexico and it is quite sure that some of the foreign countries that unwisely recognized the Huerta regime will withhold reeog--nition of the new head ofr the government on the grounds tha£ the elections are unfairly dominated by Huerta. Developments are being awaited but the patience of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are being sorely tried. Secretary Bryan left Washington for Waterloo, lowa, Wednesday night, saying before his departure that he did not expect the United States to take any further steps for a few days at least. Many dispatches from Mexican cities indicate that a clash is expected at any time and shows greater unrest than has existed for many months.

Beckman, a Hammond real estate dealer 'and a former member of the Indiana legislature, Tuesday gave a one-year lpase on his fifty acre farm to Joe Loesh, the consideration being there catfish. The land is located in the Kankakee swamp and Is untillable. It is, however, a fine fishing preserve, popular with Chicago sportsmen, who in the past have never asked permission to fish them Beckman was about to hire a custodian when his friend Loesh came along and tempted him with three catfish for the exclusive privilege of fishing on the farm.
