BUCYRUS EXTENSION
CONSTRUCTION WORK
Not Progressing as Rapidly
as Desired.
Unfavorable Weather and Scarcity
of Teams Has Greatly Hindered
the Grading Forces.

Bad weather and scarcity Of
horses is holding up construction
work on the Bucyrus extension of
the G.. ID. e. NJ. but despite these
obstacles four miles Of grading has
been done.
Monday morning General Manager
Whysall stated that If the weather
will clear up for couple of days
he will move his camp nearer Mar
ion.
The fact that the farmers are so
busy right now is causing the
scarcity Of horses. As soon as the
rush on the farm is over, it is
thought that more teams will be
available and that work can be
pushed more rapidly.
With conditions favorable, Mr..
Whysall believes that ears will be
running between here and Bucyrus
before winter.
The special work for the con-
struction Of turnouts on Dayids
street is expected to arrive today
or tomorrow. Mr.. Whysall says he
feels certain that the turnouts will
be in before the baseball team gets
home. TEis will mean that the base
ball patrons will get good service
during the remainder of the sea-

To- Save Plant for This
City.
MONEY BEING RAISED
To Purchase Marion Manu-
featuring Plant.
Unless Cash is Raised the Plant
will be Sold TO Out of-Town
Capitalists.

In a last struggle to keep the Ma
rion Manufacturing company's shops
i'm this city, committee representing
the Commercial Club is at work today
trying to secure enough money to
purchase the companys plant and
machinery to start anew.
Unless the committee is able to Sc
cure the moneys necessary within n
given time the property of the old
company will Ee sold to capitalists in
one or two other cities, where a new
company will be organized.
At the present time the trustee,
James Bastable, is working a force
of men at the shops doing repair
work exclusively. In the event that
the Commercial club is unable to
accomplish wnat is sought, the men
now employed will be dismissed and
the shops will close down. The in
terests making the largest bid will be
given the property.
There is possibility that the COM
mittee will be able to secure the funds
needed. At least no effort will be
spared to brlag about this result.
Should the amount necessary be
raised company will be organized
and the manufacture of threshers and
engines continued. It is believed
that the new company would be able
to make a success.
The committee is composed OF
Messrs j. F. Inst, G.. b. Christian,
d. Owens and John Schroeder. A
report to the Comercial club which
viii finally decide the question, will
be made some time this
week.

Meet US face TO face.

The police ran up against a hui
mOrous occurrence yesterday al
ternoon. A large crowd Of boys
was playing ball at Scoheld Heights
and several telephone calls were
sent in to police headquarters ask
ing that the disturbance be stopped.
Several officers got into the patrol
wagon and stared for the scene Of
the ball game. No sooner had the
wagon got within sight Of the ball
field than the baseballers were sud
de,.ly thrown into II panic. The
whole gang hiked for the tall tim
ber leaving coats and hats, bats,
balls and gloves.
At the edge Of the field there is
n high barb wire fence and the
sight Of fifty youths piling through
and over the fence TO get away from
the cops was worth going miles 10
see. Some Of the kids tore their
trousers, others their shirts, and
some got fastened so tightly in
their mad rush TO get away that
others had TO come to their as
sistance and retlease them.
The police gathered up the frag-
ments Of the fray left on the field
and fence and departed satisfied
that the contest would not bs finish

To the State School Com
missioner.
STATEMENT IS FILED
Showing Where Local Ex-
aminer Erred.
Commissioner Jones Asks That
Papers Submitted by Mr.. Beckett
be Sent to Him at Once.

State School Commissioner Jones
has written the boa,u of cIuy school
examiners, requesting that the pa
pers submitted by G.. NJ. Beckett
at the last examination be sent to
him for perusal. Mr.. Beckett, who
had been slated TO take the posi-
tion Of principal of the local High
school next fall, failed to pass the
examination and unless the school
commissioned revokes the decision
OF the board of examiners, some
other teacher will have to be elected
TO the position.
Mr.. Beckett appealed to the state
school commissioner under clause
of the statutes which gives him that
privilege. With his appeal, it is un-
derstood that he filed a statement
in which he aimed to show where
the examiners erred. One of the
branches in which Mr.. Beckett
failed was in theory and practice,
and it is said that several years
ago he was given grade of more
than 80 in the same branch, when
he was granted a five years certi.
ficate.
1t is expected that the examina-
ton papers will be sent to the
state commissioner this week and
that a decision will be rendered
within very short ime.
