LAST STEEL
SECTION LAID
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THE
WORK OF CONNECTING UP THE
SECTIONS OF THE BIG BRIDGE
ACROSS THE OHIO AT METRO
POLLS WAS COMPLETED.

The last remaining steel section
connecting up tho tracks Of the big
bridge across the Ohio at Metropolis
was placed late yesterday afternoon.
To Foreman Franz, We learn, belongs
the honor of being the first man to
cross over the bridge, which trip was
made on hand car this morning. Il
is said that an engine will cross over
the bridge this afternoon and couple
on to one or more passenger coaches
on the Kentucky side of the river, and
that a number of the bridge people
will go on an excursion to Paducah.
The bridge workers have had ideal
weather for the past several weeks
and considering the small force of
men who are employed in this work
they have made rapid progress. 1t
has been reported all along that,

SEE SIMMONS BIG SIGN

L. G. Simmons & Son, the enter
prising merchants of Upper Market
St, have secured the services Of Mr..
Ike Minor Of this city, who is assisted
By Mr.. Jennings of Cairo, and they
are painting for the Simmons Store
mammoth sign advertising the well
known brand of Carhart Overalls. The
big display sign is being painted on
the side of big brick building just
across the street from the Simmons
store and will be, when completed,
40x50 feet. This speaks well for the
proprietors of the Simmons store and
demonstrates the well known fact that
they are the most progressive and
up-to-date merchants in Southern IL
linois, who believe in handling and
selling only the best goods to be

ANOTHER Big
BLAZE OCCURS
FIRE COMPANY MAKES RAPID
RUN TO THE DASSING HOME
ON EAST 9TH STREET BUT AR
RIVE TOO LATE TO SAVE THE
BUILDING.

Monday night, about 9:15 o'clocH,
the home residence of Mr.. Charles
Dassin-, engineer of the Str. Geo. II.
Cowliny, was discovered TO be on fire
By Mrs. Dassing who had gone up
stairs after some articles Of wearing
apparel an1 she at once turned in an
alarm.
The building caught near the fue
on the vest side of the building in the
second story from an electric light
wire, i. is said Mr.. Dassing made
an attempt to put the blaze out by
throwing pals OF water on same but
to no avail. The Metropolis Fire
Company soon arrived end commenced
to line up 70 rbusiaess preparatory to
p1tting the baze on the blink but il
developed that there was no water
connections to be made nearer than
IN corner Of Catherine e. 7th SITS, and
they were fo.cel to 50 "A long di5-
tance and ret1rn with the hose be-
fore they could c5mmnece throwing

not cover ths loss sustained.
The bai,ding which was located on
East IN St, was large z room, two

burned rapidly. The residence Of Mr..
and Mrs. Clyde Randolph which stood
only few feet distant from the

sho1ld nothing happen to prevent, the
bridge would be completed and trains
running over it by January l, but in
conversation with a gentleman this
week, who is connected with the work
and in a position to know, We learn
that it will probably be eo.-ac time in
March, the latter part, before tho f,ll
work in its entirety, is completed, as
ths.e still remains rluch to be finished
before the big structure is ready to be
tested and otherwise inspected prepar-
atory to being received. There are
yet about $4,000 rivets to be driven
and large lot Of work to be done on
the spans that win require consider
able time to complete.
Since the commencement of the
work here Oh the bridge we are told
that there has been q smaller per cent
Of men injured, seriously, or killed,
from accidents while employed in the
work, on an average, than has ever
been known in bridge building where
the contract called for SO large n
force of employees as has been en-
gagged on the Metropolis bridge. The
bridge officials, foremen and employees
generally have at all times been cour-
teous and obliging and have made
many warm friends in Metropolis.
At last the dream of so many of
bridge over the Ohio at Metropolis is
realized and the bridge is an accom-
plished fact. When fully completed, it
viii be one Of the finest structures OF
its kind on earth, and will soon bs
great gateway between the North ard

In Illinois A Hundred years Ago.
A BaEi, Cashier Who Cut

barr. Clshter VINO Cut
One of the first banks of Illinois was
located at Shawneetown, and was
built of logs.
A traveller who visited Shawnee
town in 1918, found about thirty log
houses there. "Thc chief occupation
of the inhabitants is the salt trade"
he wrote. "There is here a United
States land Office, ard log bank is
izst established. The chief cashier
OF this establishment was engaged in
c1tting logs at the moment of my ar
rival"
The first white settlement at Shaw
neetoun is said to have been in 1900.
A jail was erected in 1910 and a court
house in 1875. The land on which the
town was located belonged to the
United States until 1914, when lots
were sold at auction to residents. Tho
bidding was brisk ard the lots sold for
good prices.
Two years later, however, the
ground was inundated by the river,
even as it has been frequently since
that time. In 1916, lot owners peti-
toned Congress to relieve them from
paying further installments on their
lots. They said they had Purchased
the lots at an excessive price and
that within a few months after the
sale of said lots, our town was visited
by q most destructive epidemic, which
nearly depopulated the place, and I'M
mediately after, in the same winter,
the whole OF the town on the river
was inundated, the water being from
to 20 feet over the whole Of that
part OF town, that alarmed and dis

and the Government, by an appropri-
ction of $l50,6o0 made, will furnish
q1srters, provisions, etc. The reunion
