Governor and Mrs. Ralston Witnessed Tango Dance.

An Indianapolis dispatch says: “Governor and-Mrs. Ralston were among the guest® at d dancing party here Saturday night for state house .officials and employes and in response to the governor’s wishes, the ‘tango’ was danced, but it was so different from what the state’s executive expected that he failed to recognize it. Thinking hi® request had not been complied with the governor again expressed a wish to see the ‘tango’ and seemed surprised when told it was the much talked-Oif dance that he had been witnessing most of the evening. Though they did not dance the governor and Mrs. Ralston led the grand march and seemed to enjoy the evening as much a® any of the seventy five couples present.

Mexican Situation Again Has Rather Serious Aspect.

The United States seem® about to adopt a more aggressive policy toward restoring peace in Mexico and ditpaitches from Vera Cruz, published in the conservative newspapers, state that a force of 3,000 marines and bluejackets are under suspended orders to inarch to Mexico City as soon as President Huerta is forced to leave the city. The object is to prevent some other dictator from assuming the presidency. The rebel butcher Villa has been unable to control some of the worst of his troops and terrible atrocities have resulted recently, men, women and children being murdered as the bandit soldiers carried out their lustful process of rapine and robbery. Villa’s success in northern Mexico has driven him fairly insane with his power but it Is expected that he will run across vary stubborn opposition as he carries, his campaign to the- southward. Carranza, a constitutionalist leader of better balance, seems almost lost because of the personal triumphs of Villa recently. United States naval officers have been quietly preparing for a quick movement to Mexico City for some time and the army as well is prepared to strike on short notice. It it not improbable that the standing army and the national guard will eventually be called into service In carrying out the policy of the administration to force Huerta out of the presidency and to see that the election to name his successor is not dominated by him.

RULING SHIELDS LAW VIOLATORS

Revenue Officers Will Not Tell Who Hold Federal Licenses to 801 l Liquor in Indiana. Is the government in league with liquor interests in the state of Indiana? That is a question that may well be asked from the experience of a gentleman in Royal Center. He had occasion to write to the revenue authorities at Indianapolis to And out about who held liquor licenses in a certain eity and the official in charge wrote back that “we are not allowed to tell, who holds federal liquor license in any locality.” Do you get that? A recent laiw passed by the state of Indiana makes it prima facia evidence to hold a federal liquor license. In other words, the Indiana law is that no other evidence is necessary to prosecute if it is found that a person supposed to he conducting a tiger has a federal liquor license Now you get the point? The idea of a federal officer not being allowed to tell who holds a liquor license in this state contrary to law? If Indiana had a governor ‘like that man in Colorado, no federal officer would be permitted to violate a law. How can a state enforce its laws if the United States officials connive with malefactors? And any man that carries on a business that is against the laws of the state is a malefactor.—Royal Center Record.

HERE’S A COMPLIMENT FOR RENSSELAER FOLKS

All of TTI Should Share the Pleasure of It—Hoopeston Asks How It Was Accomplished. The following letter was received by Mayor Spltler one day last week: --f. Hoopeston, HL, Jan. 20, 1914. Mayor of Rensselaer, Rensselaer, In<L, Dear Six: A The people of the city of Hoopeston are desirous of making many improvements in this city, We have heard of the beauty of your city and are writing to ask you the flavor of sending us a bulletin, report or any material concerning your city that we may keep for reference for all people interested in civil improvement. - Very truly, Charles M- Brooks. Librarian. While this is a very nice compliment and one in which we all share, it should only serve to prompt us to greater endeavors the coming year, for a reputation without it is backed up by real worth is of no avail. Rensselaer is a beautiful city and the things accomplished last year were important in its improvement, but we should consider that we are only in the kindergarten work of our improvement and this year we should carry the work to a greater degree of success. •Flowers should dot every lawn and the fragrance and beauty of them will bring Rensselaer people much happiness and help to justify the compliment the Hoopeston librarian has given. The plans for the beautiful lawns prizes are developing and John H. Holden has secured pledgee that are very encouraging and it is certain that SIOO will be raised. This will make it possible to give prizes to tenants as well as owners of property Every person in Rensselaer should plan to take an active interest in the plane for a more beautiful and more healthful city and now Is the time to begin making the plans for spring planting.

To do this requires that the prices be cut to the point of, real bargains and proof that, the bargains exist was made when crowds of women and men faifly fought to get at the many things offered for sale Think of selling SB,OOO worth of merchandise in two days; that is what was accomplished Friday and Saturday.

CAN’T DENY IT.

If This Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Rensselaer Yon ~sr ’ Might Donbt It. The average man is a doubter. This is not surprising—the public have been humbugged so frequently they are skeptical. Proof like the following lyill stand investigation. It cannot be disputed. Charles Malchow, Harvey St, Rensselaer, Ind., rays: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me to misery for years. The attacks came up so frequently that it seemed ae if I was never free from pain. The small of my baek was the part most affected but often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney JPills and on getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Storey used them. After taking a few doses I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. 1 have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get relief.” For sale by all dealers.
