The Bridge.

The citizens committee has secured
subscriptions to the amount Of more
than 100000 for the bridge and
trolley line. Up to this time no par

the committee will not lose the
advantage Of momentum by delay.
Success will require work, but the
committee has been intrusted with an
important comm sSion, and 1t should
allow nothing to stand in the way Of
its duty to the citizens, This bridge
proposition is matter of immense
Importance The people cannot

are champions wherever exhibited.
They have won the lions share of blue
ribbons at State FAIRS from Maine to
California, and at National shows al
ways lead the procession of winning
herds.
That NissoNri roadsters and1 Mis-
soun saddlers, and the famous Mis-
souri, mule, are cham pions in their re-
spectiVe classes, has been demonstrat-
ed in every contest where they have
come in competition with the most
choice specimens from other states /;
and they will enter the show ring at
the State Fair prepared to sustain
their world wide reputation against all
that may choose to enter the contest.
Mlssouri's live stock IS bred in purple
