ELpoRA,s OLDEST HOUSE
OCCUPIED As HOME.
special to Times- Republi

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Dec. 27.-The Oldest house
in Eldora, and now standing upon the
original ground where 1t was built, Is
that occupied by Mrs. Jonathan Edg
ington and her son. This house was
built by Jonathan Edgington IN 1896
and it has been the continuous home
of Mrs. Edgington since that time. The
original portion of the house. which
stands to the north Of the wing since
added, was early covered with an out
side coat Of plaster which still stands
in good state of preservation, thru
the ravages of fifty years.
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Edgington
came to Iowa from Ohio in 1852. Stop
ping but a year in Iowa county they
came on to Hardin county in 1858. For
three years they lived in log cabin
southeast of the present site of Eldora,
built by Reuben King some years preV1-
GUS The cabin consisted of one large
room It contained, of course, the
usual large fire place and as there was
no hotel here then. the Edgingtons took
dodgers. Mrs Edgington speaks OF OF
ten placing these dodgers on the 1loor
around the old fire place and stepping
around and among them to prepare the
breakfast
There were no buffalo here then, but
elk were quite plentiful, with moose
brought down from Franklin, the coun-
ty north. Of course there were deer
and much smaller game.
In 1854 there was gold excitement
it being claimed that that mineral was
to be found in a ravine between the
town and the river. People flocKeo
here from long distance, many com
ing from as far as Indiana, bringing
supplies and equipment for mining
campaign. Many of those coming lived
in tents and times we're exciting Tor
awhile. 1t developed, however, that a
man named Penn had placed filings
from a brass stirrup thru various
places in the ravine and as soon as
that was discovered 1t ended the
gold excitement.
Mrs. Edgington will be 81 years OF
age next February and while she is not
strong her health is fairly good. There
are but three people now living in e.
dora who came here prior to Mrs
Edgington's arrival and they are Mrs
Hubert and John Conger and his Sis
ter. Mrs. John Furman

4HEhR,. SEES rAFTs DEFEAT.
Asserts Neither President NeA Rooss
velt Can Be ne. elected.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 26.-"The republic
can party Is hopelessly divided and It
can not elect either Taft or Roosevelt"
said Col. Henry Watterson in dis
GUESSING national politics here Monday.
"The election Of Roosevelt. abrogat-
ing the third term tradition, would be a
step toward absolutism," asserted Col
onel watterson. IF Roosevelt Is put in
the White House in 1912 we will never
get him out again except feet first.
~ believe the republican organiza-
ton will be strong enough to renomi-
nate Taft as the safe force obtained
the RECOMMENDATION of President Harri-
son. And Taft will be defeated as was
Harrison.
Still stampede for Roosevelt is
not impossible. 1t looks as tho his
friends are playing a very wary game
to that end. 1t is my opinion. however,
that what Mr.. Taft lacks at one end.
Mr. Roosevelt lacks at the other. No
man can ride two horses going In oppo-
site directions at one and the same
time. In seeking to ride the proletariat
of the west, while making his peace
with the interests Of Wall street, Mr..
Roosevelt is attempting this pass.
'There is yet greater dragon across
his path than any of the lions he en-
countered in Agrica. That is the third
term issue.
1.-The limitation set upon the occu-
pancy of the presidential office is all
that stands between us and life tenure
The election of Roosevelt in 1912 would
mean an exigency in 1916 and Diaz
| election in 1920. We should never get
| him out Of the White House except
| feet foremost.
Now when we consider that the
/ President of the United States mas
more power than any sovereign in the
world, it is easy to see that the abro-
! CATION of the third term tradition would
mean something little short of absolut-
/ ism. on that issue which immediatesy
would boone paramount in the cam
| paign. transcending all other consid-
| erations, do not believe Mr.. Roosevelt
with all his extraordinary resources
and popularity. would carry a single
| state in the union.
The republicans have gone to pieces
on the protective tariff. as the his
! toric democracy went to pieces fifty
wears ago upon the slavery question
Now it seems to me that the long
hoped for change of parties is very
near at hand
