Dr. f. Elgar accounts for the constantly
increasing dimensions Of ocean steamships
by the fact that size alone is of immense ad-
vantage 10 such ships, says the Plttsburg
Dispatch Whatever may be the speed OBJ
tanned with a ship on trial in smooth water
the extent TO which her average sea speed
very greatly upon her size. A striking proof
OF this is seen in the increasing regularity
as distinct from increase in speed-with
which steamers make their voyage as their
size is increased. The variations in length
of voyage from the average become less with
increase Of size. The effect OF size on speed
is equally marked. DR.. Elgar holds that
with the present materials OF construction
and types Of engines and machinery we will
very soon reach the absolute limit of speed
imposed by the restriction as to draught Of
water. ON the other hand. Prof. Biles thinks
that a vessel of 900 feet length 100 feet
width and a 30foot draught may presently be
built that will cross the Atlantic in four
days.

DRURY'S ROAD.
The Complications Before the
County Committee.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE CASE

What the Petitioners seek-The Approx
mated Cost of the Improvement-The
Franchise Sought and the Conditions
What the Committee Is Inclined to Fa-
vor-A Project with Many Sides.
The board of supervisors committee in
charge of the Drury tell road case met at
the office of SearIe & Sesrle yesterday af-
ternoon aud practically completed its re-
port to the county board. The commit
tee found the question of granting the
franchise solicited a complicated one, of
many sides.
What the Company Wants.
The cou psny seeking the franchise 20
construct the new toll road ask for it for
period of so years, and the propo-
stion is to extend it from the Llli-
nois end OF the Mu:cstine bridge
back to the bluff, distance of two
miles. The company desires to include
a portion of The old road by strsightening
it out and thereby reducing The distance
to $500 feet. Tue plan is to construct
the road of dirt 40 feet at the base, 10
feet high and 20 feet in width at the top.
1t will require big fill req liring, the
petitioners claim $4,000. and the
erection of two bridges.
The other side.
But the committee finds thst while the
improvement would be saving to the
county snd the township, it seriously in
wolves the matter OF drainage, the south
shore of the slough TO be crossed being
the north shore of the drainage district,
aud the road might prove serious re-
tardment in this respect. The committee
feels that Is years will be long enough to
extend the franchise, and that the comps
ny receiving it must put in TWO bridges
aud the rest solid road. The committee
also figures that the improvement can be
made for $500 and that to tie the
township up FIR so years would not be
the proper treatment of the generation to
come.
One hundred teams day are said 10
cross the Nuscatiue bridge. These are
charged 40 cents while the projectors OF
the toll bridge propose to add 10 cents
more Ed
The time seems TO be ripe for Rock
Island TO take steps in the matter of a
permanent road to the lower end of the
county as a means of GiYerting this traffl
that now goes TO Muscatine and turning

BILLY" Gibson's standing offer TO back
Con Doyle against any man OF his

bringing forth more or less comment
from the metropolitan press. The Chi

to it:

carry off the long end of the money.
Still he has never met such men as Aus
lin Gibbons, Andy Bowen or other top
notchers in the lightweight division, and
it is difficult to say how he would fare
with them.
Gibson, however. believes that he,
Doyle. can more than hold his own with
any of them, at least he is willing to bet
his money that way, and that is all any
man can do. Should none of the first
class men accept Gibson's proposition to
fight for $1,000 a side. he may get on a
match by dropping few lines to Wood
Campbell. of Detroit, who stated a short
time ago that he had lightweight

match for at least $500 side. A little

would look like ready money for Con.

Last Evening-Coming Attractions
Mark Murphy, the original comedian,
made his first appearance before q Rock
Island audience as a star. single-handed
last night in the merry musical comedy,
"O'Dowd's Neighbors," under the direc,
ton Of Eugene Wellington. The pro-
duction is admirably adapted to Mr..
Murphy's peculiar talents. while the gen.
eral run of the play admits of an oppor-
tunity of surrounding the star with a
high standard OF comedians, vocalists
and speciality people. and this
Mr.. Wellington has succeeded in
doing to perfection. The production
is bright and clean all the way through
with situations cstchey and climates well
rounded. Mr.. Murphy as Dionicus Gaze
sar O'Dowd, is q whole show in himself,
of course, while David Conroy's McNab,
the Artie McNab of Tony T. Riggs and the
Pedro Gomez OF Herbert Holcombe were
strong and fall of merit The qusrtette
and sextette numbers were exquisite,
while the vocal gems of Miss Mamie Tay-
lor and Miss Jennie Murphy were marvel
ously beautiful. Miss Marie Cahill
danced charmingly-indeed the support
was exceedingly strong all the way
through for a company embracing so

all respects was one that we should like
