Makes It Easy to Wire Money to the “Boys.”

The Western Union Telegraph company announces that until further notice is will make telegraphic transfers of m'oney to members of the national guard who have been mustered into the federal' service at the Mexican border, at one-half the usual charges for such service. It is understood that in their hurried departure many*bf the guardsmen failed to reckon on the high cost at the border of some of the conveniences and comforts which are not included in the provision which Uncle Sam makes for his soldiers and thfeir relatives and friends doubtless will be interested: learn of this arrangement whereby much appreciated funds can be quickly transferred by telegraph at a low cost. The proposition is the more attractive from the fact that messages of affection, cheer, etc., may be incorporated ip the transfers at a small added charge for the extra words involved.

The sew club will meet Thursday afternoon with Mrs. J. V. Rice Porter.

NOTED CIRCUS RIDER WILL BE HERE SOON

Miss Julian to Appear Here W3th the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Show Saturday, August 5.

In all the circus world there is no bareback rider better known than Miss Dallie Julian. She is not only the highest paid circus rider in the world, but she is the only woman who has successfully performed a somersault on the broad, rosined haunch, of a galloping horse. Single, forward and backward somersaults are Miss Julian’s specialty, and she does these just to “limber up,” as she expresses it. 'Miss Julian is the principal bareback rider with the Carl HagenbeckWallace Circus, which comes to Rensselaer Saturday, Aug. sth, for performance at 2 an'd 8 p. m., and a parade at 10 o'clock. When the big show is over and DalJulian emerges from • her private dressing tent one would pick her for a debutante or society girl. She is slim of build and is just past her 20th birthday, and is unmarried. Her brother Fred Julian, travels with the show and is a member of the executive stiff.

Miss Julian is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College. In school she was remarkably fond of athletics. One summer her father, who is a banker at Fall River, Mass., spent a week with the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, along with him being his daughter, Dallie. The daughter had always yearned for life under the canvas, and the father believed that a week of roughing it would remove all traces for a desire to follow the circus. The week ..with the show saw the little college girl blossom into a fullfledged jgircus star. Under the guidance of Bud Gorman, the famous circus equestrian,, director, Miss Julian developed into a remarkable rider. She has duplicated every feat performed by a male rider, and has left her sister riders far in the background.

Jesse Osborne, son of William and Deilah (Price) Osborne, was bom in Ashe county, North Carolina, .September 21, 1834, and departed this life in Rensselaer, Ind., July 16, aged 81 years, 10 months and 25 lays. He was united 1 in marriage to Miss Elmina Knight, of Guilford county. North iCaroJina, on Aug. 19, 1855. To this union were bom ten children, four of whom preceded him in death. The following children survive: Alvira J. Wilcox, Mt. Vernon, Wash.; Rebecca M. Querry, .Sidell, Ill.; W. F. Osborne, Rensselaer; Letitia F. Faris, Wenatchee,.Wash.; Rilla V. Kennedy, Columbia River, Wash.; Laura C. borne, Mt r Vernon, Wash. He united, with the Methodist church, when a young man and had remained a faithful Christian until the end. During his sickness he often asked' to have passages of the Bible read to him. In 1865 he migrated to Jasper county, Indiana, purchasing a farm in the then thinjy populated north part of Jasper copnty. He held the office of township trustee for two years in Walker township.

DEMOLISH ALL CARS; TWO ARE HURT

Logansport Police Are Unable to Cope With Situation As Big Mob Runs Wiki. Logansport, Ind., July 18.—Twentythree of the twenty-nine street car motormen and conductors employed on the local lines went on strike today demanding recognition of the union and a return to the two-men system of operating the cars on one where a one-man system was inaugurated\some months ago. The Fort WayneNmd Northern Indiana Traction company, owners of the local system, at once sent men from Fort Wayne to operate the cars, which are running as usual.

A policeman, Henry Honigan, and an alleged rioter, Ralph JUoore, were shot in a riot which began here at 7 o’clock tonight and continues. All cars of the city lines have been demolished and one of them, a line car, was burned. Police have, been unable to cope wdth the situation and one hundred special policemen are being Sworn in. Street car conductors and motormen were dragged from their cars and beaten by the mob. As far as can be learned none of the 23 striking street car men have participated in the rioting. Mayor Guthrie closed all saloons in the city.

Co. M Man Kills Enemy Attempting to Pass Lines.

According to Indianapolis papers a member of Company M made the first killing for his company last woek. We will not vbuch for the truthfulness of the tale, but some Rensselaer citizens have received letters from Company M members supporting the Statement in the newspapers. The members of the Rensselaer company were on guard one night recently, and during the stillness of the night, one of the privates on guard heard something stealing stealthily through the bushes. The private called for the nvader to halt in a loud voice, but the noise continued, and the invader continued to approach the camp lines. Seeking to win himself fame and glory, and win the praise of the officers the rookie opened' fire. No sooner had he ceased firing, when several officers came running to the scene of the disturbance. The guardsman recited his Story to one of the officers, who procured a lantern and started in search of a dead Mexican. Groping his way through the bushes and followed by the Company M rookie, the officer suddenly stumbled over a prostrate form on the ground. Lowering his lantern the officer discovered something that caused him to burst into a fit of laughter. ’A long-eared Texas burro was lying on the ground, 'ead as the proverbial door nail. The rookie’s shot had gone true. We don’t want to cause the member of the company any humiliation so we will not tell his name, but his first initial is “Jonesy.”

HOOSIERS HAPPY AT CAMP IN TEXAS MESQUITE

Wear Lightest of Clothes and Adapt Themselves to New Life—Little Homesickness. ■ h * - Mercedes, Tex., July 18.—The situation here is so novel to the Indiana troops that it may be a long time until they settle down to the humdrum monotony of. the soldier ’ife. But they are adapting them selves well to the conditions, which aie as much different from Indiana conditions as could possibly be imagined. It is a fact worthy of note that Indiana men are getting more compliments from the regular army officers and from the citizens than any other troops. This is due perhaps to the fact that some of them have seen actual service and they are commanded by such officers as Major Tyndall, who knows what real war is. There are few cases of homesickness in the Indiana camp. It was to prevent this that General Baker, in charge of the Brownsville district, issued his recent order concerning amusements and recreation for guardsmen, ft is expected that within two weeks every regiment in camp will have a baseball team, and the climate is such that baseball can be played the whole yeiar round. General Lewis told the commanding officers today that there is plenty of outdoors in the vicinity of the camp, and they can clear off all the ground they need for tennis courts, baseball diamonds and croquet. All that is needed is a grubbing hoe and a sltrong back. When the boys got here a week ago they went into things ralther recklessly, and gorged themselves with all sorts of things, and there was considerable stomach trouble, but now they know better. They find that it is not good for them to eat watermelon, which is called boneless ham in this country. The food they eat must be seasoned with plenty of pepper and salt. An excess of cold drink'fe is on the taboo and frequent baths and daily shaving help outswonderfully. Most of the Indiana troops, when they left home, wore heavy woolen clothing, but they have been here long enough to learn that the very lightest of clothes is what they need.

The boys do not get the delicacies that mother and sister sent them at Fort Harrison, and there hasn’t been a case of indigestion in the camp. It is agreed that Llano Grande is the best camp site in the entire Rio Grande valley. The Indiana troops are going along much more comfortably than the troops of other states that ■ are at other points along the border-. The probability that this camp will be a division in command of a major-general does not mean that Brigadier-General Lewis Will not remain. He was appointed to drill and put on a war basis the troops of Indiana, and he will continue in the position, but will, of course, retire as camp commander and give his attention exclusively to the Indiana troops. The appointment of a major-gener-al for this camp means that several other brigadier-generals will be appointed and that the major-general in command will have a large staff. Consequently, many regular army officers who are at present unassigned are hoping that they will be sent here whefi a major-general takes command. The more pay they get the better they like it.

The Indiana artillery officers are wondering what would happen should they be called suddenly into service. Each battery requires 157 horses and 16 mules.. Battery A has 29 horses, Battery B has 10 and Battery C has 8. They have made the necessary equisitions, but that is as far as they go. Major Tyndall went to Brownsville yesterday to see General Parker, but missed him, as the general was at Mercedes and the Llano Grande camp. However, the major laid out a line of complaints and requests to General Parker’s assistants that brought good results. Who is to blame fßr the lack of horses is ndt understood, because everyone seems to be charging it up against the other fellow.

The First Illinois cavalry is to have a newspaper of .ts own of four pages, eight columns, standard size, and published twice a week. Its circulation, it is estimated, will be between 6,000 and 10,000 copies. It will be called the “First Illinois Cavalryman” and be devoted to camp news. Weary of having his orders delayed by wire and slowed by mail service, George E. Sneddon, salesman for a Cleveland firm, bought some carrier pigeons which have done so well that his firm has just instituted a rtate-wide system of carrier pigeon communication among all its salesmen.

EXCHANGE OF SHOTS OVER BORDER LINE

Mounted Mexicans Fire On the U. S. Guard, But Are Forced to Flee. El Paso, Tex., July 18.— A. party of mounted Mexicans exchanged fire with Company L of the Ninth Massachusetts infantry near here today. According to reports the guarasmen were doing outpost duty when the Mexicans rode up on the opposite bank of the Rio Grande and opened fire. The guardsmen suffered no casualties but reported they believed they had killed one Mexican. Captain Hickey, of Dorchester, Mass., commanding the company, estimated the number of Mexicans at fifteen, but asserted that he was unable to determine whether or not they were soldiers. Approximately fifty shots were fired on each side, it was said. |Both General George Bell, Jr., commanding the El Paso military district, and Lieut. Col. Leon Buclon, acting garrison commander in Jaurez, denied that they had received official reports of the incident and both said that it seemed trivial. The shooting occurred in an isolated district about three miles down the river from El Paso, known locally as the “Island” section. The company was doing border patrol duty la this district, one-third of the sixty men being on the patrol and the remainder being held in reserve in the camp about a half mile in the rear.

Recruiting of Guard to Be Started Again.

Indianapolis, July 18.—Following the return of Franklin L. Bridges, adjutant-general, from a consultation with the officers having charge of the central department of the war department at Chicago yesterday, it was expected that recruiting offices for members of the Indiana national guard woudd be opened in the larger cities in the State.

It was expected that men, enlisted in the guard who did not qualify for border service, but who have not been formally rejected, might be placed in charge of the recruiting stations, which are to be opened, according to the plans, at Indianapolis, South Bend, Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute and perhaps Evansville. The recruits obtained at these stations are to be sent to Ft. Benjamin Harrison for training. The companies of the guard now on the Mexican border will receive the recruits after they are drilled and somewhat seasoned. It was announced at the office of Capt. Edward Coppock, in charge of the government army recruiting station, 24 South Illinois street, where recruits for the state guard also are being accepted, that these recruits also will be sent to Ft. Benjamin Harrison for training before they are sent to the border.
