Much valuable time was lost in get
ting to work on the bridge approach.
The matter is now under way. but
with all the advertising and legal re-
quirements, it Is very improbable that
the work will be completed in time to
use the bridge as soon as it is COM
pleted. The aldermen can now be
depended upon to push the matter,
however, and the work will be finish
ed Just as soon as possible. The
question of cost is still something op
which nearly everyone expresses a
different opinion. Whatever it is the
city must meet it. Whether much or
little the completion of the structure
will be a great advantage to every
householder and for this reason there
will be little complain concerning the
financial end.

New Brunswick is to try q great
scheme in Kidding that place of dogs.
The city has engaged man from out
of town to do the work. There is
much wisdom in this action. The
stranger will come into the city and
must earn living. Not having been
employed in any local plant, he will
do the work he was brought there for,
and catch dogs. Then, not being
acquainted, he will not recognize any

plies that are being lad In it Is
very evident that the merchants in
this line believe that the Sisters
Vile people will celebrate the occa'
sion with more elaborateness this
year than ever before.
Although 1t Is week yet until
the festal day Is with US, turkeys
are coming and before the end of
this week there will be hundreds
of them in the city. 1t Is estimated
by a local dealer that there will be
no less than a thousand of them
disposed of here during the coming
week. There was almost that mum
Der consumed here last Thanksgiv,
Ing and the merchants are conf
dent that there will be more dispos-
ed of here on the coming day of
thanksgiving.
From other sections of the couu-
try comes the report that prices
will be so high this year that only
the we'll TODD can enjoy the lux
ury, but here In Sistersville the
prices will be practically the same
as they were last year and the sup
ply fully as large.
The high prices Ia the east exist
on account of the scarcity
of the fowl, 1t being claim
ed that the wet weather early In
the summer In that part OF the
country drowned the little ones out
and that the result Is shat they were
very scarce.

Many pumpkins are shipped here
yearly for the Thanksgiving de-
mard. It having been a good
turkey year. good pumpkin year,
with the supply of cranberries up

Turkeys thrive In cold weather,
that Is the time they fatten, and
without the cold weather the tur-

The words turkey and Thanks =
giving are In America almost syn

original Thanksgiving day, at Ply
mouth In 1921, turkey was the
feature Of the banquet. The rec
ords of Edwin Winslow describe
that first Thanksgiving dinner as
follows:
"Our governor sent four men
fowling SO that we might, after a
special manner, rejoice together.

JETT AND WHITE ON TRIAL.
Work of Securing Jury Begins a
 Cynthiana, Ky.

Cynthianas Ky, July 27.--At 1925 this morning Curtis Jett and Thomas White appeared tn court, escorted by Jailer w. G. Craigmyle and six deputy sheriffs. Judge James B. Black of Barbourville appeared among the attorneys for the defense this morning. The courtroom was full of people. No ladies were present. Jett has a stolid look and White has a good face.
 The work of securing jury was begun, but many who were summoned were ex- cused for various reasons. Before this was accomplished the witnesses were called, nearly all of whom are from Breathitt county. Judge Osborne made an order today that the militia should be used only to guard the jail, and that the prisoners should be conducted to and from the courthouse by the sheriff s deputies. The attorneys for the defense filed plea against the jurisdiction of the court, alleging that this special term would make one more than is provided for by the statutes. The judge overruled the plea.
 The crowd is orderly and quiet Sheriff Leach has sworn in two deputies to guard the courthouse and keep order in the courtroom. No trouble is anticipated.

RING WAS LOST BEFORE.
FIsherman's Ring Has Been Missed on
 Two Former Occasions.

Rome, July T.-The fisherman's ring is known to have been lost twice before. Among the state papers preserved at simanicas, near valladolid, Is a letter from Count Olivares, then Spanish Am bassador at Rome to Philip II, dated Sep tember 5 15ss, saying: "Sixtus has been very i'll from vexation. Yexation to which I refer was the missing of the fisherman s ring He carried it with him in purse and he discovered he had been robbed of 1t by a cup bearer. Unless the pub licity given to the affair enables him to punish the man he will not do so or even dismiss him, such Is his affection for those who served him. The pope would do any, thing to avoid showing the world that his confidence had been abused"
 In September, 1899. the late Pope Leo was one day insistently asked for an audience by an under servant and yielding to curiosity he granted it, whereupon the man entered and kneeling, said:
 Your holiness, have to restore to you what has been a loss not only to you but to the world" After these words the man proffered the pope the fisherman's ring, which had been found. Pope Leo looked at It In surprise ana then solemn ly putting 1t on his finger, said: 'The thanks of the church are due to you my son. I shall see that you are rewarded"
 The next day the man called at the treasury and was given $3. The ring has never been seen since, as Pope Leo pri- vately hid it or locked it away so great was his fear of losing 1t again. So far it has not been discovered, but the vat ican authorities assure the Associated Press that the ring will undoubtedly be found.
 On two other occasions the ring was taken from the papacy by force. In 1897 the French republican invading the papal states and despoiled Plus VI of all his valuables, among them the fisherman's ring. It was returned the next day, as it had no intrinsic value.

wHEAT ExPoRTs STOPPED.
Russians Stop Shipments of Grain to
 Japanese Ports.

PelSin, July T.-The Russian adminis- tration of New Chwang has stopped the deportation of wheat to Japan The ex- port of grain from Chinese ports is il- legal but the Russians heretofore have ignored the law. During the past week the Japanese obtained many ship loads of grain from New Chwang, apparently preparing for war contingencies. Several ships were employed in bringing wheat from Shanghai and southern ports to New Chwang where 1t was trans-shipped as direct export. The prohibitory order was issued by the Russian officials last Thursday.
 General Kondradovich has been placed in charge of six armed commercial boats and the navigation of the Laio river, which is construed here as another sign of Russia's intention to retain New Chwang and the command of the river. Great numbers of Russian civilians and soldiers families. it is reported, are be- ing brought to Manchuria, it is believed in pursuance of a comprehensive plan to rapidly colonize the province. At the present rate there will be almost hun dred thousand Russian civilians in Man churia, including Port Arthur and Dalny, before the date fixed for the final eyacua- ton next fall.

Johnson Hawkins, a white boy about 16 years old, and Howard Patterson, aged II years. were injured yesterday morn ing by falling from a porch on Third avenue and Eighteenth street. The former is in a serious condition. as he suffered internal injuries. but the latter Is only badly bruised.
 It seems that the boys were sitting on a bench on the porch, which is about fifteen feet from the ground. They leaned back against the banister and 1t gave way. Hawkins was hurt on his side.
 He was carried to Green & Co.'s un- dertalxing establishment and from there to his home at 1886 Huntsville avenue in their ambulance. His condition Is very bad, but 1t is not thought that he will die. The boys were working on the cir culation staff of the Atlanta Constitution.

Jackson, Ky, July 27.-Reports re- ceived here today state that two men were killed inka fight at Long Creek and two were fatally injured in an en- counter at Hunting Creek last night. On Long creek, twenty miles from here, Govin Smith was shot through the breast by John Hall, and as he lay on the ground with blood gushing from his wounds, Smith pulled his re- volyer and shot Hall through the brain. Both men expired almost i'm mediately.
 On Hunting creek John Stidman and Alex Craft engaged in fight after a quarrel in a blind tiger" Stidman drew a knife and Craft revolver. Craft missed his mark the first two times, but on the third shot inflicted a fatal wound. Stioman cut Craft about the bowels, and it Is said he will die.

LOCOMOTIVES FOR
 ROADS IN SOUTH
LINES IN SOUTH AND SOUTH WEST ARE ORDERING ENGINES, MOST OF THEM TO BE DELlV- FRED IN TIME FOR CROPS.

St Louis, July 27-The Republic tomor- row will say:
 Almost without exception the railway systems in the south and southwest have placed large orders for locomotives, most of them oebe delivered by the. time. the crops are to be moved. It is said that these orders are the result of the experi- ence of many of the lines in the south and southwest last year at the time of the moving of the crops, when an almost unequaled blockade resulted not so much from the lack of cars as from the need of power to move the cars.
 Since then many of the roads have been receiving locomotives as fast as they could get them, but even with the addi- donal equipment 1t is believed the enor- nous crops of wheat. corn and cotton will require much. more motive power than Is available to take it to market.
