in Pennsylvania. On Sunday and
Good Friday he expects to rest.
Even up to the, time he reached the
railroad station in New York yester,
day, Colonel Roosevelt had no idea
OF making such an extended trip. He
received an urgent message from
Senator Dixon. his campaign manager.
outlining the proposed extension Of
the trip, however, and consented, he
said because the arrangements had
been partially made.
Colonel Roosevelt addressed crowds

The Board of Education is composed
OF practical business men who take an in
terest in building up the educational in
terests of the city. A competent super
intendent is at the head of the schools and
he has back of him a corps of eighteen
good teachers. There are 13O pupils in
the high school. of whom about twenty
five per cent are non residents. Nine
teachers look after the instruction of these
boys and girls. The total enrolment in
the schools is 500. The school has 400
graduates. When looking for a good
school for your boy or girl, why not select

instruction in Agriculture

The sons and daughters of farmers are
afforded an opportunity to take up topics
of benefit to them on the farm. Special
best opportunity ever given farmers boys
in this vicinity to study their calling from
a scientific standpoint. The modern
farmer needs to know how to select seed
properly, how to plant and cultivate it,
how to raise the right breed of stock; in
fact how to do many things he used to do
in a haphazard manner. The Sauk
Centre public schools tell him how to do
these things right.

the Fairbanks contingent has been call

ALL WILL
DEPEND ON
WEATHER

There was much rejoicing In the
Cs.-~ o.ssriet GA Saturday upon the
appearance of the story in these col
umns that engineers for the new Bald
win Locomotive works were to begin
work on the plans but the story was
not intended to convey the idea that
construction work would begin in ten
days.
Fearing that the public may get a
wroog impression. high official in a
statement to THE TIMES today spoke
as follows OF the visit of the Baldwin
locomotive works to- the region.
Alba B. Johnson, president. and
accompanied by Horace G. Burt, con-
sulting engineer and former president
of the Union Pacific. railroad, made ar
examination of the site recently pur-
chased by the Baldwin Locomotive
works at Ca'umet-East Chicago and
then in company with Messrs. c.. w
Hotchkfss and Walter ]. Riley, took
an automobile trip through the resi-
Dental district of East Chicago, Ham
mond and Indiana Harbor. They were
very much impressed and pleased with
the residential district. and so ex-
pressed themselves.

ing drawn and work upon the plant

holding ofean early convention for. the

the incoming state committee will be
unanimously for Taft. 1t will be- Taft
Organization from top TO bottom, and
the Taft people figure that the state
organization would be OF vast benefit
to their cause in the framing of a slate
of delegates to the national convention
1t is well-known that friendly state
organization can do much for a candi-
date. and the Taft people do not pro-
pose TO take any chances on anything
this year.
And there Is another feature OF the
situation that is causing much discus
sion, and that is the question OF
whether the delegates from Indiana to
the republican national convention
shall be Instructed for Taft or whether
they shall be left to go into the con-
vention without instructions. 1t is be-
lieved that any effort to have the state
convention instruct for Taft would
meet with serious opposition that
might hurt the chances of the party to
carry Indiana. 1t is pointed out that
the convention will indorse the admin
istration OF President Taft and proba-
bly, declare for his denomination and
election. and that the state organiza-
ton will help TO pick a set of dele
gates that will all be for Taft and that
they win SO declare. This. 1t Is said
would make 1t unnecessary to bind
them with instructions.
While the present plant OF the Taft
supporters is to have the state conven-
ton give Taft instructions to the dele
gates. IL may yet be decided to change
this plan and leave them with their

DOG BITES THREE.

Gary Frightened at Actions
Of Dog Finally Shot by

A mad-dog scare at this unusual sen
son broke out in Gary near the city
hall at o'clock this morning when q
dog, apparently made, bit three per-
sons and another dog before he was
finally siiled by Captain Newman.
The first was seen at o'clock near
the city hall jas he fastened his teeth
into the clothes of man who left
without giving his name. officer Louis
Eisner came to the mans rescue, and
the dog next attacked him. When the
policeman had shaken him loose the
animal set upon woman. In the mean
time Captain Newman came running
with a shotgun which he brought from
the police station. and killed the dog
instantly. Officers Elsner would have
used his revolver, hut was afraid that
he might kill a passerby with CLAN
cling bullet. As far as is known the
dog did not bite more than three per-
sons in the flesh He bit poodle dog.
but that animal escaped before the po-
lice could kill him.

sure that he would stand hitched for

along that line. Another reason why
Beveridge probably would not be

they are sure TO be chosen. 1t is not
believed that the republicans out in the
state would stand for more than two

When the new republican state com
