n UT of maze of blue prints, spe-
cifications. strain sheets and
technical explanations. the
mayors board this afternoon gained
the definite impression that Engineer
Gelder was decidedly in error on
some OF his calculations and that
the Main street bridge has been the
subject of considerable loose Ian
guage. NJ. j. Patterson builder of
the bridge, was a witness practically
all afternoon and was subjected to
cross fire of questions from the may
ors, County Attorney Welsh and 9TH
ers. as well as a number of leading
interrogations from his own attor
neys.
The lack of rivets was satisfac-
torily explained by attention to the
strain sheet. the lightness OF two or
three members was shown to be un-
important, while several statements
in the report of Engineer Gelder
were flatly denied by Engineers
Romberg and Fisk and disproyen by
Mr.. Patterson's calculations.
That the steel is figured on ba
sis of 400 per cent of the actual load
it will bear and that this factor of
safety will offset any minor variance
in the construction, was Mr.. Patter-
sons statement and he repeated to-
day the statement made in his inter-
view published in this paper that the
Main street bridge was the best in
the state.
Although the inquiry is by no
means over one or more members of
the board have expressed the opin-
ion that so far the reported variances
have been satisfactorily explained.
Many reports concerning the bridge
have been disproyen ,apd the result OF
the Investigation up TO this time has
been to uphold the contention of the
bridge company.

minutes and will confer again tomor-

him. Reports of continued aggres-
sion by rebels toward Mexico City

THE NORMAL SCHOOL
At Kirksville, Missouri.

The Normal School at Kirksville
in closing its forty.seventh year
broke all records. At the end of
the regular year it had enrolled
1857 and in the summer term,
1904 For twenty years it has had
an unvarying annual increase.
Twenty years ago it bad 562; fifteen
years ago, 749; ten years ago, 944;
five years ago, 1907; this year. 1887.
Never a year in twenty years has it
fallen behind a preceding year.
The old school will reopen Sept.
8 with a larger and better faculty
and in q better state Reorganization
than at any former time.
1t appeals directly to the young
men and young women who desire
to teach next year in rural and vii
lage schools. 1t seeks to attract,
aid and encourage especially the
self-supportine students. 1t helps
to secure partial employment tor
them while they are students.
The institution doesn't have to
guarantee teaching positions for its
students. Almost every capable
student on leaving the school has
opportunity of choice between two
or more positions. Preparation for
teaching pays.
Students who think of going away
from home to school should send
for Bulletins and write letters in
quiring into all particulars.

For work and fret is the game
