IT MAY BE ROOSEVELT.

Tie line-up of the Taft aral Roosevelt. . delegates to date gives Taft 381; Roosevelt 201. There are yet to be elected 452. The total number of delegates in t'he republican national convention will be 1,078. Necessary to choice 540, - and .to give Taft a majority he must have 159 more than are now pledged him, while Roosevelt must have 329 more. Roosevelt captured all of the 16 Nebraska delegates and also gets all of Maine and Oregon. Roosevelt stock liar been rising Considerably in the past two weeks, and it begins to look as though he had some show of winning out in the nomination, although Tjift is going after the Rough Rider this week, it is said, without gloves, and what effect this will have remains to be seem.

The Indiana delegation to the republican National Convention was ! completed yesterday when the ! Twelfth district held a convention |at Auburn. The two delegates named will vote for Colonel Roose-, 1 velt, making: his total 10 in this state. ‘■Rump” conventions were held for Roose volt in the First. Third, ’ Seventh and Thirteenth Districts * and for the election of four dele- ! gates at large. The Roosevelt men | are contesting 12 off the Taft deel- ! gates. No contests have been fßed jby the Taft managers, j The Roosevelt forces seem confident that they will be able to un-j .seat 12 Taft delegates from this I state.- From some source the tip l -has been handed to them that a! ! majority of the national committee! is favorable to Roosevelt. which* ! would mean, they say, that all of' ithe contests from Ihdiana will be' decided in their favor.

WILSON HAS LITTLE STRENGTH IN INDIANA.

The Cincinnati Enquirer’s I ndi-' anapolii. .political correspondent, in speaking of the democratic presidential outlook in this state, says that members ,of the organization say that tihe thirty Indiapa delegates w.Il vote for Governor Mar- ' hall as ong as his n ame is be lore the- convention. There might be m: 'h a thing as a switch to Senator Kern, but nulling whatever "ill he done than will bo humiliating iGovernor Marshall or his friends, fi Only two members of the de'egat ion are for Governor Wilson. They are the Ninth District delegates— Messrs. Good bap ar.,i Gifford. Governor Marsh?.ll dees net lav or - Wilson for second choice and most of the organization men are now leaning toward Champ Clark. If-there should be a break in the iine-up it is regarded new Sts likely that four fifths and probably more of the Indiana delegates would vote -.<jtr Clark. At- no stage of the game does it appear thgt Wilson can ever get more than 1 cur Indiana vote-. Governor Marshall Kill have a good organization that v. ill try to get pledges from other states to vote for him on the break-up and they are by no means convinced that, 'he hasn't a fair chance of win- ■ ting.

Such Peace and Harmony.

i Marager McK'nley for the President says that the fight- will be' ccn(l.t:ted with bare fiS|ts from this on. ' Why such peaceful weapons. From revolvers and b. rred doors in Missir ipri and the militia in Michigan to bare fist in the warlike Massachusetts and in the blooming west.

CASTOR IA i For Infanta and Children. I The Kind You Have Always Bought

CYCLONE CAUSES DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN UNION TP.

(Continued From First Page)

and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rice are reported killed and Miss Cassie Smart and an infant sister were killed in Morocco. The report from Morocco says the storm first struck the house of Charles .Rice, several miles west of Morocco, killing every member of the family except Rice, and he was so badly injured he died Monday.

The Rice home is a mass of ruins, but the exact manner in which the members of the family met their death may never be known. When thp storm struck Morocco many houses were unroo'ited and outbuildings blown down. When their homes began' to show signs of giving way before the onslaught of the storm Mrs. Charles Smart rushed into the cellar, closely followed by her daughter Cassie, who was carrying the six-months-old baby. Wlhen the girl had descended several steps the house was lifted from its foundation and turned over, crushing her and the- baby to death. The father was only a few steps behind toern. but he-escaped with might injuries and the mot.ier was p:: harmed. * Tito bare of Jack Bcwvrs. two •miles west of Mercrco, was , -.pashed. Mv. and Jit 3. Ecwsrs and four children were in the house, and all were saved under the wreckage. The Frank Pcits home and all barns and outbuildings were carried entirely off the place. Visitors' to the farm this morning could find nothing but an old hem. A number of tarns and cribs on the farms were demolished, killing about sixty head of cattle and horses. Whole orchards were uprooted. The-elec-tric light plant at Morocco was entirely ruined by lightning, it is said. Many persons who were on the

streets here were struck by {lying missiles and mere cr less seriou-ly injured. • , 1 Hanger and Johnson, with Miss C onn and Miss Haiyjtnel!, were enjoying a carriage rile when they were caught in the storm. Their cei’i icig© was ovel'turn&d and.’] all wgfg injured when the horses ran away. At the time a; the accident they were trying to reach the home of Miss Cccoi to seek shelter from the torm. The Comi residence is practically new and it was damaged to the extent of several hundred dollars hy the wind. ■ , While the path of the storm was limited to a: comparatively small area, the wind was of such violence that it damaged many buildI ings hundreds of yards from its ; center. Telegraph and telephone i wires were blown down, and for this reason considerable delay was ceca toned befpre the true extent of the destruction was deteflflfried. It is estimated that between- twenty and forty homes in Newton county have been destroyed. The center of the violence was confined to a path probably three hundred feet in width. As it swept through Morocco and onward into the center of Newton county the tornado uprooted scores of houses' tore barns and sheds from their' foundations* and killed much live stock. At Lowell a swath two hundred feet wide is said to have been cut through the residence section. Ten 1

.people were hurt, but none fatally. The; worst injured are: Mrs. William Jones, internally, when her house was struck by lightning; William Jones, her husband, burned by electric bolt: Mrs. David Brickman, arms broken; John Brickman, her son. head badly hurt; Mary Prickman, her daughter, spine hurt: Charles Stephens, leg frac-' Hires. Thousands of dollars dam-* age was done property and live' stock was killed. Two funnel shaped clouds broke out of a clear sky, just after a 1 heavy hail and storm, i The house of William Jones was struck by lightning, set on fire and! then- lifted by the wind. The Brick- 1 man home was bowled over and its inmates buried under debris. The houses of Charles Taylor, Frank small and William McCarthy were carried off their foundations, but no one was injured. Trees were snapped off and telegraph and telephone poles were pulled out cf the ground. Fifty buildings were lifted off their foundations. At Bush. Murfreesboro. Marion, Willisville, Grant Park, Campus, Reddick and other places in Illinois several people were killed and thousands oi dollars damage done. The total number of deaths, it was stated in yesterday's papers was upwards of 75. -i Much damage is also reported at Hebron, South Wanatah and Lar porte.

THROWN THROUGH BOX CAR.

Engineer's Body Badly Mangled and His Fireman Hurt When Locomotive Boiler Blows Up. Bloomington. Ind.. April 22. Weaver Hillerman, an engineer, was instantly ki/ied in a boiler explosion c.n engine No. 217 on the Monon railroad at the local yards Sunday afternoon. Orville Clay, his fireman, was blown one hundred feet through the air into a field, but escaped serious injuries. The body of Hillerman was blown through both sides cif a box car standing on a side track forty feet away and badly mangled. The head was crushed, the right foot was torn off and many bones in the body were broken. The accident occurred at 12:03 o’clock, just as the enginemen were i preparing to eat their noon day luncheon. It is said that crown sheet of the engine had dropped down, and while watching for signals from the switchmen Hil’.erman started the injection pump, not noticing from his vlater guage that there was no wated in the boilers. The instant the cold water hit the red hot sheets the explosion followed. Clay owes his life to the fact that he was sitting in the gangway, near the tender, and did not receive the full fofee of the explosion. The thirty-ton boiler was hurled end over end for a distance of 150 feet high in the air and fell into the field. Hillerman had been extra engineer only two months. A wife and two small children survive. Clay | had been on the road only a month and was married this winter. Hillerman as a member of the W. O. W. and the Brotherhood of Railroad Firemen.
