BRITISH JAPANESE INTRIGUE IS SEEN

Mikado’s Interest in Huerta is Thought to Be Backed Up by Johnny Bull’s Country. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which the United States seems to have blundered in making, and which England and other countries indicate. they will expect to be fulfilled to the letter, is thought to he the basis of recent rather aggressive stand the Mikado of Japan has taken in favoring Huerta, the usurping president of Mexico. It is regarded as possible that England,, backed by other countries, expects in this way to get favorable action by the Wilson administration in having the letter of the HayPauncefote treaty fulfilled. The United States has undeniably placed ifself In rather Unfortunate diplomatic relations with a number of foreign countries. Russia, for years our staunch friend, was aggrieved because this country took the side of Japap In the war between those countries and again two years ago when the house of representatives passed a resolution favoring the annulment of our treaty because American Jews had not received proper' treatment there. Then followed the effort to grant American vessels an advantage over foreign vessels not guaranteed by the international treaty for the Panama canal and then the California anti-alien land law, which has aroused Japan to bitter indignation. The Mexican situation has caused us continual trouble and kept us in diplomatic hot water and recent Japanese activities in Mexico havs caused much alarm. If the United States can get out of the present peculiar muddle without conflict it will result only from the shrewdest diplomacy. There is nothing really new in the Mexican situation. General Villa has troops marching toward' Toreon and an attack of that place Is being planned, Huerta continues to dominate the situation in Mexico City and surrounding country and notwithstanding his own treachery and the fact that this country has refused to recognize him and given apparent encouragement to the N reben cause, present appearances favor him over any of the rebel leaders operating in the north.

TIED DELPHI FIVE IN BASKETBALL GAME

Rensselaer High School Held Car- ■ roll Oounty Lads to Eyen Terms Wednesday P. M.

' Rensselaer high school played Delphi to a standstill at the latter town Wednesday afternoon, the game of basketball closing with the Bcore of 16 to 16. The low score is a compliment to the splendid work of the guards on both teams and the forwards were unable to get away for many chances at field kets. Babcock and Swaim played the guard positions for Rensselaer, Healey was at center and Captain Grimm and Will Eigelsbach were forwards. Eigelsbach made three field and six foul baskets and Healey made two field baskets. The treatment; accorded the boys there was all that could be expected and should serve to cement the athletic relations between the high schools; of the two towns. The result is very encouraging to Rensselaer- and puts the team in line for championship honors at the state meet at Bloomington. Kirk is coaching Rensselaer and will be able to make a splendid team If the players will follow his instruction and take the practice bumps. The . militia and the hteh sehool will have a game at the armory one night next week.

Kept the Overshoes But Gould Not Use the Shoe.

A few days ago some person took from the Kloethre Fire Sale store a shoe box containing a pair of rubbers and one shoe. L. E. Barber, the shoe salesman, placed an advertisement, in The Republican. Mrs. John Albertson found the shoe ip the ladies’ waiting ( room at the i court house and in it' a bit of paper on which was written: “Logt—Owner may have by taking it.” She reported the discovery to Mr. Barber, who got the sjwe and it proved to be the one that had been taken. The rubbers, however, were not there and evidently the conscience of the person who took -the box was only sensitive enough to cause them to restore the shoe which singly was of no value, add they kept the rubbers. Shoplifting is a very contemptible kind of stealing and those who Indulge in it are as guilty as those who hold people up atthe point of a gun or enter and rob a 'house. Stolen goods do the thief no permanent good and should trouble the conscience of the one who obtains them jn a dishonest way. It is not probable that the person who took the package will be apprehended but an Investigation will be made.' In the meantime the culprit could clear their-own conscience by mjaii* ing to Mr. Kloethe the value of the rubbers.

Former Illinois Senator Died at Washington Home.

Shelby M. Cullom, for fifty years a striking figure in the politics of Illinois and the nation and a colleague of Abraham Lincoln, died at 1:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon at his home In Washington, D. C. He was of Kentucky, moving with his parents to Illinois a young boy. He worked on a farm until 18 years of age, when he entered Bock Elver Academy. At the age of 24 he began the study of law. Three years later he was elected to the legislature of his state. In 1864 he was elected to congress. He served as governor of Illinois from 1876 to 1880 and .In 1893 was elected to the U. S. senate. He was chairman of the foreign relations committee during the Span-ish-American war, He was in his 85th year.

A Splendid Name for a Farm Was Recently Chosen.

The Bepublican has several times encouraged the naming of farms' and the registering of the names according to the law passed by the brat legislature. Quite a number •have done this and others have failed to do so as a matter of neglect Bussell Van Hook, the hustling owner of the former tile mill farm west of town, some time ago adopted the name “Biveredge Dairy”, which is not only strikingly appropriate but also a very pleasing name. Mr. Van Hook is making many improvements on the place and stocking it with the very best of all kinds of stock and “Biveredge Dairy” Is destined to become worthy In every way of its very attractive name.

Merchants Must Sell Potatoes by the Pound.

“From now on the lady of the house when ordering a peck at potatoes, will tell the grocer that khe wants fifteen pounds of potatoes,” was the statement of W. F. Tucker, deputy state food inspector, at Logansport recently. , Mr. Tucker made the round of the groceries and notified the proprietors that potatoes must be sold by the pound and not by the peck or bushel. Fifteen pounds is a peck and sixty pounds the bushel. Grocers selling otherwise will be prosecuted. All goods sold must be “net weight,” which means that a pound of butter must be sixteen ounces of butter, and not sixteen ounces including the wooden butter plate and oiled paper. All other goods must be sold on the same basis ?s this. A pound must be a pound of the goods purchased, not Including the wrapping or receptacle Mr. Tucker stated also that he found places wheie beans and the like had been sold by liquid measure instead of dry measure thus giving the. purchaser short measure for a liquid quart is l much less than a dry quart. »
