PLOT THREATEN FALL OF CARRANZA

Conditions in Mexico Worse Than Ever and More Troops Are Sent Across the Border. ♦ . < More troops have been sent across the border as General Obregon, emissary of Carranza, has been sent to confer with General Scott, chief of staff, to demand the withdrawal of the troops from Mexico. Reports of the most startling nature from the interior of Mexico have reached Washington and they tend to show that what little claim Carranza had to the control of Mexico has (been overthrown and that Pancho Villa, the hunted bandit, is in the central part of Mexico, where he is being idolized. The foreign embassies in Washington are said to have secured evidence along this line. It is also said that plotters threaten Carranza and that Villa could now readily overthrow the de facto government, but that he hopes to unite all against the United States. It is thought probable that the demand erf Obregon for the withdrawal of the troops will be met with refusal. However, it is said that Generals Scott and Funston propose to go deeply into the conference with Obregon and try to determine whether Carranza is really in a position to guarantee protection to the American border in case the U. S. troops are withdrawn. ' Walter Wiseman, of Rensselaer, who is with the sth cavalry, is now well across the border with his regiment.

“Is it safe?” is the first question to be considered When buying cough medicine for children. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has long been a favorite with mothers of young children as it contains no opium or other narcotic, and mdy be given to a child as confidently as to an adult. It is pleasant to take, too, which is of great importance when a medicine must be given to young children. This remedy is most effectual in relieving coughs, cold sand croup. For sale by B. F.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: president, J. N. Leatherman; vice president, Rex Warner; secretary, Delos Dean; treasurer, J. D. Allman. Short addresses were given on community interests and improvement by Dr. Curnick, C. G. 'Spitler, J. N. Leatherman, Mrs. J. J. Hunt, Dr. Biown and George Meyers. A motion made by Dr. Curnick to observe a “clean up” week in Rensselaer was carried and the officers elected were to constitute a committee to call a citizen’s meeting to arrange for the same. Dr. Gwin, city health officer, Mayor Spitler and Rex Warner, a member of the city council, were in hearty accord with the proposal. At a time to be designated later all garrets, cellars and back yards were to be cleared and' the garbage and rubbish to be piled in the alleys, where it would be hauled away by the city employes. All movements for public improvement should be met with a hearty response by every public spirited citizen. rMs. J. E.

CHICAGO YOUNG MAN CONFESSED MURDER

Edgar Hettinger Killed Milliner to Get Money to Buy His Girl Chocolate Sundaes. On the night of April 4th, Mrs. Agnes Middleton, a widow who conducted a millinery store in Chicago, was murdered. The body showed that she had been 'beaten and then killed with a razor. Thirty or more suspects were arrested and the crime was about to be fastened on a poor musician who roomed in Mrs. Middleton’s house. Detectives kept working on the case, however, and finally a young man named Edgar Kittinger, was arrested and made full confession. He is only 19 years of age and is ilasscd as a “moron.” He related the full story of the killing, saying that he went to bed and after his parents were asleep he got up quietly, procured a hammer from his farther’s paint shop, climbed up a spout and into a window in Mrs. Middleton’s room. He was looking for money when Mrs. Middleton awoke. She sprang from her bed and rushed toward him and he met her and struck her on the head with the hammer, and she fell. He then took his razor and cut her throat. He slipped three diamond rings from her fingers and then escaped through the window and ran, he hardly knew where. He went rp alleys, over many fences and finally sat down exhausted and then returned to his home, tiptoed into the house and went to sleep. He says he threw the rings away in his flight. They have not been found. A policewoman was largely instrumental in the arrest. Kittinger said he needed money to 'buy chocolate sundaes for his girl.

Rumor That Clara Elder and Lyman Roadruck Are Married.

It is rumored and there seems reason to believe that Miss Clara Elder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Elder, of this city, and Lyman Roadruck, a young man of Morocco, have been married for the past four months. Roadruck, who worked in Parker’sstudio in Rensselaer two or three years ago, is a student in the Morocco high school, from which he will 'graduate this year. During the holidays Miss Elder informed her parents and friends that she was going to Morocco to spend a week. She returned, however, in two days and there was some suspicion at that time that she had not been in Morocco and recent investigation substantiated this. Soon after her return she went to Indianapolis, where she made her home with her sister, Mrs. E. L. Hammerton and worked in a store until recently, when she gave up her work owing to the illness of Mrs. Hammerton. Mrs. Elder, mother of Clara, informed the reporter for The Republican that she had no positive evidence that her daughter and Mr. Roadruck were married, although there were strong suspicions that this was the case and that the truth would doubtless be learned within the next few days.

Mrs. P. B. Downs went to Indianapolis today for a week’s visit with her son, Edward Downs and ‘family. Luther Tow and family, of Gifford, went to Monon today to spend Sunday with 'his father, J. C. Tow and family. If you go to Chicago don’t flirt. Forfeitures and fines ranging from $25 to SSO have (been assessed against mashers the past week.
