ROAD DRAINAGE.
Necessity of Replacing Plank CuIvsrts
With Proper Pipes.

Necessity OF Replacing elank SuiVsrts
With Proper Pipes.
Pennsylvania state highway COM
missioner gives the following advice
on the question of road drainage:
"Where water must be diverted from
one side to the other of a road it
should be carried beneath the surface
by means of pipes or culverts of ca
pacity adequate to carry the maximum
amount of water which ever will de-
mand passage. Pipes of suitable ma
terial when properly laid cost little
or nothing to maintain beyond an oc-
casional cleaning out Water breaks
require constant attention and are fire.
ouently inadequate to prevent the flood
water from overflowing down the sur
face of the road They are also seri-
Gus obstacles to travel. increasing very
materially the steepness of the hills
where they are used and making nee
essary the hauling of proportionately
smaller loads.
I'm the majority of the townships in
which any attempt is made to carry
water across below instead of above
the road surface it is done by means
of plank culverts. usually constructed
in the most primitive manner, while
the large water courses are spanned
bv structures consisting in part. if not
wholly, of wood. In some instances
stone has been used in a very com
mendable manner. but it is found that
many of the bridges. culverts and
drains which have been built OF stone
have been laid up in an inefficient
manner, which has led in a few years
to the necessity of expensive repairs
For the smaller culverts and drains II
which smoothness of interior surface
is desirable four kinds of pipe are
available-vitrified clay. cast iron. cor
rugated iron and concrete. The use O.
wood for such purposes is to be dis
couraged. and all existing plank cul
verts should be replaced by some 9th
er material as rapidly as practicable
Vitrified clay pipes are much cheap
er than iron. but unless very CAREFUL,
protected are very liable to breakage
Except in rare cases this material l
not recommended by the department.

ELSIE JANIS COMING.

Miss Elsie Janis will visit Davenport
for the first time in her career Tues
day, April II. Supported by her little
army of college boys and girls, she
will appear in THE Fair Coed" This
is the piece by George AIDE and Gus
tav Luders, in which the clever young
girl has been playing for the past two
seasons.
Miss Janis is recognized as the
youngest star on the American stage.
Her career has been rather remark
able, for at the age of 81 she finds her
self at the top of her profession and
at the head of a company numbering
90. She has been on the stage ever
since she was 10. Born in Columbu
Ohio, she showed remarkable aptitude
as a mimic when a child. She could
initiate everybody and everything.
Once at a school entertainment in Co
lumbus she initiated" several well
known actors. There happened TO be

was destined later to be president of

Vote Sanitarium Ballot

Why do people get consumption
The reasons are they breathe or eat
the germs; they live in foul, dirty air !;
they work or live in bad houses; they
are in the right condition to catch the
disease and have it spread in their
bodies. Consumption is not inherited.
It is spread by the careless, unframed
consumptive who spits about promis-
cuously. No splitting. no consumption.
BY segregating these sick IN modern

methods of hygienic living, care for

SOME RECORDS
FOR OLD TIMERS
The Late Lamented Month OF
March Will Have Them All
Hacking Memories.
DATA TO coNJURE WITH

Several Other Things.

We will all be interested in seeing
just what kind of a month March
was as compared with other Marches.
Data compiled by Observer ]. NJ.

in several respects. AS previously
stated, it set a mark in the amount
of sunshine and in maximum temper
ature 1t also established record
for SO years at least. In average tenn
perature and for low precipitation it
has been beaten but once since Lne
records here have been kept.
The most remarkable deviation
from normal has been in the temper
allure. The average was so degrees,
which would be a pretty fair show
ing for May. This is 14.1 degrees
above the normal in SO years. The
only time in that period that 1t has
even been Appropriated was in 1878,
when the average was 4S. March's
average has IN different years been
as low as 20, having touched that
point as recently as 1895.

SERVANT IN rAE HOUSE.

One Of the chief reasons why
Charles Ram Kennedy's famous play,
The Servant in the House." which
comes to the Illinois April 10, has
proved such a popular as well as ar
tistic success is that the author has
not hesftated to employ comedy in
liberal quantities in the development
of his beautiful story. Commenting
on this fact, Harper's Weekly says:
The marvel too is that Mr.. Kennedy's
play is not solemn at all, except In
aftermath. Laughter leaps in it, and
the mind kindIes to its delight. The
author seems to have Joined hands
with humor, satire and irony, and to
have caught the flying glance OF the
comic spirit which George Meredith
says Is abiding overhead and looking
down upon us with contemplation
humanely malign. 1t is easy to pic
ture the author of The Servant In the
House looking upon an audience at
his own play-seeing It smile or weep
or laugh in the wrong place. or pre-
tend in vanity to understand, in his
own vision meanwhile, what Meredith
calls the sunny malice of faun-' All
this is different from the recent pes
siristic reading of life which Ibsen,
for example, has made familiar. The
Master-Builder dreamed of building
homes with high towers on them, and

Ada Isaacs Menken made her debut
on the stage in 1858 at thu Varieties
theatre, New Orleans, La, as Blanca
in 'Fazio.' Her greatest fame rests
with her performances of Mazeppa.
She made her debut in this piece at
the old Green Street theatre, Albany,
N. Y, June 1881. She also appeared
in this play in London, at Astley's the
atre, ON Oct. 8, 1864, and so great was
her success that she was compelled to
play twice a day. She made her debut
in Paris in the same play, Dec. 80.

umph. The first eight nights receipts
were $4,000 francs. Her real name
was Adelaide McCord.
The first production in America of a
dramatic version of Harriet Beecher
Stoves novel, uncle Toms Cabin"
occurred Aug. 20, 1852. It's author
was Charles Western Taylor, and it
ran only IL nights. George L. Aiken's
version was first acted at the Museum,
Troy, n. Y, Sept. %, 1852. 1t ran 100
nights, and was then taken to Albany,

81, she finds herself with a fine es-
tate at Columbus, Ohio, all earned by
her own efforts, and the possessor OF
an income which rivals that of the
president of the United States.
1t is gratifying to know that Mr..
Dillingham;, Miss Janis manager, Is
not sending out to the west any sec
ond' or half-sized company. AS a mat
ter of fact, Miss Janis will have just
as large a company in Davenport as
she had in New York and Chicago, and
she will have, with one or two excep-
tions, the same principals that sur
rounded her all of last season when
she played only long engagements in
the biggest cities.
Miss Janis is to have a new play by
George AIDE next season. 1t was Mr.
