The late rains have made Big Creek
past fOrding, and parties have to hunt
the bridges. Now, we think this state
of affairs should be remedied by plac-
ing a bridge across the creek one mile
from the county line, which is a
splendid site for a bridge and a good
road to the same. The south half of
Big Creek township claims three
bridges while the north claims none.
We don't want the earth, but think
the north half should have at least
one bridge, and this is tAc p!.ce for it,
as it is just halI way between what is
known as the Wisbourg bridge on
the north and the suspension bridge
by D. G. Limbocker's on the south,
and is the only practicable place on
the creek between the two to locate
bridge.

ed its dissatisfaction at delay by crying
for the vote.
Mr.. Elihu Rot was then called to
the platform by the chairman and
made a statement as to the eligibility
of Mr.. Roosevelt to hold office. He
said in part that MIR. Roosevelt had al
ways voted in Oyster Bay and had
merely removed personal property to
Washington. He had always paid tax
es in oyster Bay and had merely re.
fused to pay taxes on property he was
using in Washington and by his afli-
davit he merely said that he was not a
resident of New York city.
He read a letter from Mr.. Roose-
welt saving he paid taxes in Oyster
Bav and that he should not be asked 10
nav it in New York City also. The
statement declared that he had nc
domicile in New York City and that
he was residing in Washington. but It
did not say that he did not reside in
Oyster Bay. 1t was settled fact in
law that a man could not have two
residences and that was especially true
in the case of a Washington office
holder and the court had so declared.
While Mr.. Root was talking half OF
the delegates left the convention hall.
He spoke at great length giving many
legal opinions to support his conten-
/ tons.
When Mr.. Root read letter from
| Mr.. Roosevelt to his lawyer asking
| for some money and saying that he
had expended so much money that liz
was beyond his income, Mr.. Root said:
| Mr.. Roosevelt had expended that
money to raise the Rough Riders,
| there was a great burst of applause
| and then Mr.. Root closed by saying
| that the documentary proof not only
| showed that he never had lost his res.
| idence. but rather had paid his money
| that he did not pay to retain it, and
keen him from losing the right OF
| franchise
| The closing remarks of Mr.. Root
were received with great applause and
were as follows:
| Gentlemen. Mr.. Roosevelt would not
have your suffrage or that Of the people
of the state if there was a doubt of his
eligibility to be Governor, but he would
not be deprived of his citizenship without
his will. He would not lose his birth

1t has always been Mr.. Webster's
ambition to connect himself with som.
discovery that would not only be a
source of profit to himself. but the
means of accomplishing good to others.
With this end in view it is not strange
that Mr.. Webster, in his profession,
should have been led to think seriously
