PAINTING The
BIG SANDY BRIDGE
Force of Men Now at Work
in Making Repairs on
That Structure.


A number OF men are now at
work overhauling and repainting
the G. IL o. bridge which spans the
Big Sandy river at Keuova.
This L. one of the c"stliest and
hnest structures on the entire sys-
tenn of the Chesapeake & Ohio rail
way. 1t is the pride of the officials
and they take almost as much inter
est in having it look spick and span
as they do their Cincinnati-New
York liDiteds.
Almost yearly painters are put to
work retouching the places which
may have been worn off by winters
stormy blasts, or those which could
not withstand the onslaughts of Old
Soils heated rays.
However, this is the season when
that immense structure is to be Civ
en- it's Sunday dress. All the bolts
are also TO be frightened in order tc
withstand the contractions during
cold weather.
While on this subject we are re-
minded of an incident which is said
to have taken place at the old bridge
then located a short distance up the
river from the present structure. 1t
will be remembered by many of our
readers that during the last years
of the old affair, the structure be-
came rather weak and trains were
not permitted to run across it at
rate exceeding five or six miles an
hour. Even at this speed the wood
en- trestle approach on the Ken
tucky side rocked like a cradle. The
whole affair was not considered by
many engineers TO be very safe, and
As result Of the weakness a watch
man was employed day and night to
follow each train across.
1t is related that during one of
those cold. stormy nights, like we
! used to have, the watchman had re-
turned from trip across the bridge
and was peacefully resting beside
the warm fire in his shanty when
he was suddenly aroused from his
midnight reverle by the swapping of
iron. Being rather of an imaginative
mind and nervous disposition, his
one thought told him the channel
span had collapsed and fallen into
the icy waters below.
AT about the third or fourth
sound Of the contraction Mr.. Watch.
man grabbed his lantern and made
bee line for the Ceredo telegraph
office. All the way up the line by
the dense forest the nervous watch
man couid hear the sounds of trains
gong over the precipice and IN his
minds eye could see men, women
and children struggling in the icy
torrents below.
Alter hard run, during which he
only touched the high places, the
much excited watchman arrived at
the depot hatless and painting for
breath. lie fired a message TO
the perintendent and other Off
Gals stating that the Big Sandy
bridge had collapsed. In a few
hours trains bearing the officials and
constructionists arrived on the sup.
posed scene.
Imagine their surprise when they
found everything all right! But as
to the watchman, he swore by all
gods good and bad that he thought
the bridge had broken down. The
superintendent boarded his car
mumbling something about Ger.
tain person ought to be in an asy-
lum, and traffic resumed its normal
state.

TOO MUCH FOR TAFT.
President Leaves Theater Because
Play Is Too Suggestive.

Washington. May 29.-President
Taft tried one act of Charles Rich
mans new play, THE Revelers," at
the Belasco theater and found it too
suggestive for even tacit executive ap-
prevail and accordingly got up and
left the theater.
Mr.. Richman apparently did not
hesitate, In two of the acts at least
to spice his play sufficiently to tickle
the taste and imagination of the most
blase devotee of the problem" drama.
The play is being tried out in Wash
ington.
President Taft accepted the invita-
ton of the author to attend. He was
accompanied to the theater by Mrs.
Louis Moore, of Cincinnati and Cap
tain Arthur Butt, his military aid.
Mrs. Taft could not go owing to ILL
ness.
The first act of the Richman play
is about as broad as any theatrical
performance that has been seen here
for several seasons, and is so admitted
to be by Westinghouse who have
seen it. The criticisms, however, have
been mild and as a rule confined to
such comments as mot a play to be
witnessed by children" and "sugges-
tive if not thoroughly understood and
taken in the right spirit
President Taft and his party, at
the close of the first act, withdrew
without ostentation. With a good
many there was left the impression
that the evening was too hot for the
party or the play too tiresome. 1t
has developed, however, that the
president left because he disapproved
Of the play.
Knox and Crane Left.
1t also became known that Senator
Crane and Secretary Knox had given
the show similar treatment Monday
evening. They left after the first act.

May Wheat No Longer a Factor
in the Market.
The Last Transaction Is Made
Today at $1.34.
RECEIPTS ARE LIGHT.
Only 1873 Cars as Against 1,OO1
During Last May.
Patten Has Cleaned Up Nobody
Knows How Much.

Chicago, May 29.-The great bull
campaign in May wheat passed quiet
~ into board of trade history today.
Not ripple disturbed the speculative
sea- James A. Patten. the bull leader,
with his grey fedora hat pushed back
on MS mead, betrayed no citation. The
deal to all intents and purposes end
ed weeks ago, when the shorts grad
ually driven in, pocketed their losses.
Still lot of sentiment attached itself
to the last day. Among laymen fire
works." had been anticipated and the
solitary transaction in the options
during the first hour, marking up a
quotation of $1.34 was a great disap-
pointment.
The first sale of wheat for delivery
this month was made June % last. at
80 C, the busheL Last Tuesday it
sold at $1.33 Il, rise of As nc.
Mr.. Patterns assertion that reserves
have been almost exhausted apparent
~ is confirmed by comparison of
receipts in Chicago during the last
month. During May year ago 1,0O1
cars were received here; this month
there were but 1873 cars. Today, for
instance, but one car arrived.
Yesterday 671,000 bushels of actual
wheat were delivered on the board
of trade and today $4,000 bushels ad-
ditional were transferred. Most of
this went to Patten. Accurate infor-
nation as to how much wheat rests
in the Patten warehouses is not OBJ
tainable, but the stocks in public and
private elevators, aggregate only A.
100000 bushels. It is generally be-
lieved most of this belongs to the bull
leader, and that he has paid in the
neighborhood of 100000 for it.
Before Mr.. Patten can calculate his
profits on the DEAL he must merchant
disc this wheat-turn it back into
and abroad. Any endeavor to esti-
mate his profits is futile.
The CHARACTERIZATION house has by
no means purchased all the May
wheat that has been traded, for it's
own individual account. Much of it
was for customers. Other houses
have participated in the advance.
These and other factors render any
attempt to estimate the financial gains
of Mr.. Patten the veriest guess work.
Close followers Of the market are con-
tent with the statement that he has
made a huge sum which may grow or
decrease as he merchandise his ac-
tual wheat. Half a dozen other houses,
have been bullish on the market for
months but generally retired with
their profits some weeks ago.
Despite the immobiiity of Mr.. Pat
tens countenance, his satisfaction be-
came apparent an hour after the close
when a small army of clerks of the
smile on his face, filed into the cashier
office to cash checks for 10 per cent OF
their annual salaries, present from
Mr.. Patten.

Sent to Prison for Two Years on Con-
viction of Forgery.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 29.-For SELL
ing q $50 forged check for 81 while on
a two weeks spree, John T. Norman,
alias A. E. Lacey, stepson of Carrie
Nation, has been sent to the San Quen-
tin penitentiary for two years by Judge
Davis.
Norman is a sailor. He asked for
probation after pleading guilty, ex-
planning that he never would have
passed the bad check if he had not
been drunk. Judge Davis looked fav-
orably upon the application for proba-
ton until evidence was produced that
the defendant had served two years for
a similar offense.
Capt. A. c. Dodds. probation officer,
received a letter from o. o. Nation,
urging that leniency be extended to
the prisoner and telling of his relation
ship to Carrie Nation. Norman refused
to testify as to his past career.
