MEXICANS CROSS TO U. S. TERRITORY

Mexicans Cross Lower Border and Soldiers Fight Them in Texas— Four Wounded at Falfurias.

Corpus Christi, Tex., Aug. 26. Mexican bandits and American peace officers today fought in a public road leading into Falfurias, and one of four armed Mexicans was probably mortally wounded. None of the Americans was hurt. The wounded Mexican carried a high powered rifle and 105 rounds of ammunition. His companions escaped pursuit by a posse headed by Sheriff Maupin. There are only five soldiers stationed here, but today’s incident caused the local authorities to ask for more. -f* - V Doubled guards 'of soldiers were posted at the international bridges at El Paso, as a continuation of the precautions of Gen. John P. Pershing, against attempts to execute . a rumored uprising. State rangers have >een ordered to El Paso from the station at Ysleta to reinforce the civil and military authorities. At San Antonio, Mexican bandits took possession of the Henry Eads ranch, 26 miles from the Rio Grande, after driving off the foreman and other ranchmen. One Mexican was rilled and another wounded. An appeal for additional U. S. troops was made by officials. Virtually every ranch in the border country has taken vigorous measures of defense against possible raids by Mexican bandits.

Kentland Man Died From Injuries in Auto Accident.

Will Rogers, who w?.s injured in an auto accident in Minneapolis five weeks ago, died Monday from the injuries. He had remained in Minneapolis since the accident. It was thought at one time that he would recover but he suddenly became ill again and soon death came as a reief. Mr. Rogers had been associated for 17 years with James W. White in the restaurant business at Kentland. He was known by a number in this city, who will regret the loss of such a good friend. The body was taken to Kentland Tuesday evening and the funeral was held Wednesday afternoon.

RYAN DITCH.

There was a meeting of a number of the petitioners for the Ryan Ditch at the law office of George A. Williams in Rensselaer, last Saturday. It was the opinion of those present to fight for the RYAN DITCH to a finish. THE RYAN DITCH is not dead, as has been circulated, but will come up for hearing at the coming September term of court. All those who were or are in flavor of this proceeding should stand by the same and not sign any petition which would tend to defeat or delay the same. THE RYAN DITCH can be established this fall and construction work begun by next spring if there be no serious litigation. WILLIAMS and FOLTZ, Attorneys for Petitioners.

Harvey Casto Died In Longcliff Thursday Evening.

Harvey Casto, who was sent to Longcliff several weeks ago after he had suddenly become insane, died in that, institution Thursday evening at about 7:30 o’clock. His brothers, Dennis, Charles and Harrison, had gone there earlier in the week when notified that he was nearing the end but none were with him at the time he died. The body will be shipped here for burial. Harvey was an industrious man and had always been a man of good habits and excellent behavior. His sudden mental collapse a few weeks ago was a great shock to all of his acquaintances who hoped that it might be temporary only, but the physicians held no hope after making an examination and he was taken to Longcliff as the best place to receive proper treatment. At one time when he showed some improvement he was brought home but his condition was such that he could be kept here only a short time. He is survived by a sorrowing mother, sister and three brothers. Harvey was 35 years, 9 months and 12 days of age. His funeral will be held at the Baptist church in Milroy township at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon, and burial will be made in the Benson cemetery.

Preparations Being Made For Tournament On Sept. 6th.

No expense is being spared to make the military tournament at the Indianapolis speedway on Sept. 6th, a success in every particular, and every national guard commander in the state is being urged to bring his entire company. Troops will be bivouacked in the Speedway enclosure in shelter tents on Sunday, iSept. sth, and will return to their homes after the performance on Monday. The program will include a parade of all troops, which will be massed, then marched in column of companies on the track front of the stand. The second event will be musical drill, Butts manual. Three groups will be formed at different parts of the field in front of the stands' on the tracks. The program will also include the striking of the shelter tent camp at the last note of the general and “ready to march” time record. It will also include a contest in pitching and striking shelter tents by three battalions. The last event will be the attack and defense problem, against intrenched position. A special inspection will be made by each company commander that no ammunition of any kind is brought to the speedway. Blank ammunition will be issued on the grounds.

Another Phthisis Victim Restored to Good Health.

Harrison Casto, 25 years of age, returned Thursday from Rockville, the state tuberculosis hospital, where he had spent more than eight months during which time he had gained almost 30 pounds in weight and been discharged from the hospital as cured. Harrison is liberal in his praise of the institution and thinks that victims of tuberculosis can receive just-as good treatment there as they can any place, barring the possible climate advantages of some of the higher altitude states. N /-* Harrison has been doing some work at the hospital and has taken up trained nursing and will return there to complete a course in that work.

No One Has a Right to Kick About Our Light Rates.

When we compare our light rates with those in some of the other towns we feel assured that no one has a right to kick when their light bill is presented. The Newton County Enterprise this week comments on the difference between the rates in Rensselaer. and Kentland. The rates for several towns near Kentland being furnished light by the Interstate Public Service Co. is 11 cents for business houses and 13 cents for residence use, with a one-cent reduction for the payment of bills within a specified time. They say if Rensselaer can furnish lights from a single plant for 8 cents, it seems that a plant supplying a dozen towns could do likewise and at a good profit.

ROOSEVELT SPEECH SEVERELY CRITISIZED

Orders Given Gen. Wood at Plattsburg That No Speech of a Similar Nature Be Tolerated.

The speech given by Theodore Roosevelt at the Plattsburg Barracks Wednesday night to the citizen soldiers there has caused much comment and criticism. Roosevelt attacked the administration for the war attitude taken, saying very hostile things, and condemning Germany. It seems that the trouble is falling on Gen. Leonard Wood, who is in charge of the camp and who invited Roosevelt to give his talk. However, it is not his fault, as he knew nothing of what Roosevelt was going to- say. Roosevelt was entirely responsible for lis own remarks. General Wood was critisized by Secretary of War Garrison for allowing the speech to be made and warned not to allow another occurrence of such a nature.

Naturally Roosevelt is putting up a denfense for his speech, saying that ie attacked neither the president or the administration but the nation as a whole. The weakness of his defense is obvious. Had Roosevelt been in the presidential chair and such a speech been, given it is hard to imagine the steps that he would take, but he would probably raise havoc with the speaker. “If the administration had displayed one-tenth the spirit and energy in holding Germany and Mexico to account for the murder of our men, women and children that it is now displaying to prevent our people from being taught the need of preparations to prevent the 'repetition of such murders in the future, it would be rendering a service to the people of this country,” said the former president. Yet he says he doesn’t critisize the administration 1

Dying “Game.”

Kansas City Star. “I'll die like a man,” said Becker, who was put to death for a murder; and the newspapers said he “died game,” just as he said he would. What is it to “die game” Cherokee Bill, as foul and heartless an assassin as ever swung at the end of a rope, walks out upon the gallows at Fort Smith, surveys the crowd as he rolls his last cigaret and remarks: “That’s a hell of a crowd; something must be going to happen,” and everybody said he “died game.” Rudolph, bank robber and murderer, said to the preacher who* was trying to give him religious consolation on the scaffold at Union, Mo.: “You can spread on as much salYe with a toothpick as some could with a shovel, but you can’t work that con game stuff off on me, old man.” And they said he “died game.” The ambition of every border bad man of the “Wild West” days was to “die game,” with his boots on. There doesn’t seem to be any particular virtue in “dying game.” Nearly everyone dies that way. And Becker, the man of schooling and considerable intelligence, did not die with more “gameness” than did those degenerates of the New York slums who died before he did in the same electric chair for the same crime. It is an old saying, but one that cannot be too often emphasized, that it is far easier to die worthily than to live worthily—and it is the living that counts.

Ellis Theatre.

The Comeli-Price Players presented “The Traffic” at the Ellis theatre last night and gave an excellent performance of this drama. While the theme of this play is not the most pleasant, the members of the company were called upon to present the details of this traffic in a manner which tested their ability. The many scenes were very strong and Miss Fairchild in the difficult role of “Agnes,” acquitted herself with much credit. A vein of comedy introduced by Happy Hal in the role of the Irish janitor, relieved the tense situations. Tonight the company will appear in one of their comedy successes, “When Reuben Comes to Town,” with all new. specialties between the acts. A matinee will be given at 2:30 p. m. Saturday, at which time the comedy drama Kelly, From the Emerald Isle,” will be presented with the usual specialties. The matinee price will be ten cents to all.

Thrashing Ring Gang a Unit In Discharging Jones.

A thrashing ring in Newton township decided Thursday that they were not justified in retaining the services of a man named Jones, of Lee? who lad a thrashing outfit on their run. The machine was at the home of Art Arnett on the Carr Bros, farm at the time and thire had been a great deal of objection to the delays caused by the improper working of the machine. The progress was very slow and a committee representing the objections of the “ring” to Mr. Jones and asked him if he had repaired certain parts of the machine so that it would get along faster. According to one of the committee he said that he had not and did not propose to do so as he did not want to go any faster. Without further parleying he was told that lis services were not longer wanted. He pulled his machine through Rensselaer Thursday afternoon on his way i»o Lgg* Merritt Strang was sent to Frank-* fort Thursday evening to try to locate a machine, it having been reported that several thrashing runs in that community have been completed.

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don’t Stay Gray! Here’s An Old-Time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair Ml out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well known druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.
