throughout the country with its head
quarters in Washington, says our
correspondent. The organization is

headquarters of any candidate for the
presidential nomination is doing more
work than the Roosevelt headquarters.
1t is looking not so much 10 the nomi-

are behind the work believe that
Roosevelt is the only man who can be
elected on the republican ticket. In
this belief they are working President

tiles, in denying the use of the mails
to publication whose avowed aim is
the publication of the doctrines of

81 YOKE OF OXEN.
Great Sight When House Was Moved
Over Marlborough Bridge.

Over Marlborough Bridge.
Marlborough, March 27-Contrac-
tor Chauncey North of Middletown
was in Marlborough Monday super
vising the moving of the house
bought by Chris Ryan at Marlboro
Mills for removal to the lower end
of the town. Mr. Ryan and his men
first started to move it alone but
found after dragging it a short dis
lance that it broke too many chains
Contractor North's services were
secured and in all thirty-one yoke
of oxen, four pairs owned by F. H.
Durham being sent from East Hamp-
ton.
The house was put on skids run
ming lengthwise and with cross arms
for support. Two pairs of wheels
were used in front to keep the out
fit from dipping into the ground, the
rear dragging on the skids or sleep
ers. Sixteen pairs of oxen were used
on one side and fifteen on the
other, the drivers of the off yokes
walking between the two rows or
cattle. Long chains were used with
individual chains hooking into each
yoke so that the strain was more
evenly divided.
1t was gala day for Marlborough
and about everybody in town and
many from surrounding towns were
on hand to see the fun. There were
about twenty drivers and when the
oxen got to pulling we'll and the men
to shouting their utmost, the noise
made at the Tower of Babel wasn't
in it for it was Gee, Buch; Haw,
Dime" Get into it there, Red"
and take hold of her there, Spot"
and many other terms familiar to
those versed in GEOLOGY, with now
and then just dash of words lit
tie stronger to give the language
picturesqueness and flavor.
Paul Robert went up through the
hole where the chimney was taken
down and rode on the peak of the
roof most of the way. When a halt
was made near Judge Theron Buell's
Roberts was looking at the crowd
and not at the cattle and when they
brought up rather suddenly he near
ly went off the roof The start was
made shortly after 10 a. m. and the
house was drawn TO the Charles
Buell. place where it was to be placed
for Mr. Ryan's son-in-law, William
Murray.
Refreshments were served TO the
hungry men and the day voted a
success for not only had the job
been accomplished successfully but
much fun had resulted. Only once
in crossing a bridge. was any danger
felt, but aside from a few slivers
knocked off, no damage was done.
In the olden days long strings of cat
tie were no uncommon sight but it's
rare now days to see thirty-one pair
at work at one time.

Representative Bourke Cochran is
frequent White House visitor these
