Mr.. Lincoln kept his intent gaze up

Cold Damages the Walks.

The recent cold weather of the
past week has had a disastrous
effect on the cement side walks
which was constructed in this
city last summer by the Fox com
pany from st. Paul. In a num-
Der OF places, wide cracks tell the
tale Of cheap work and big: pro
fits. The curbing in many places
is spread two inches or more
away from the main walk 1t is
better to hire some we'll known
walk builder, even if the work
costs a little more. At the time
the walks were being laid, the IN
dependent predicted that the
walks would not give satisfac-
ton.

Washington, d. G., Dec. 12.-
Whatever anti Roosevelt senti-
ment there is in the country has
not found Judgement in North
Dakota, according to Alex Nc
Kenzie. the national committee
man from that state.
Why, have neve even heard
any other man mentioned in
connection with the nomination,
said Mr.. Mckenzie. ''It is ac-
cepted in North Dakota as a
matter OF course that Mr.. Roose-
welt will be the nominee. 1t was
out in North Dakota, you know,
that Mr.. Roosevelt had his ranch
and lived among our people for
a number OF years. Our people
know and admire him, and want
him for the candidate. His trip
through North Dakota last sum-
mer rekindled the enthusiasm.
and made him more popular
than ever.
mo state in the union is now
more safely republican than
North Dakota. We will give
Mr.. Roosevelt a plurality Of

day on the river trying to catch fish,
but with no luck at all, returning emp

target shooting on the lawn with rifles
and reyolvers, ending the day by 4
reckless ride on their horses across tie
fields, over fences and bitches, after
the manner of fox hunting, a sport not
often INDUCED in in that part Of the
country.

Bishop sat down In his place in the
