will also be found to be economical in

Many county officials through an er-

smaller bridges which have been de

quently asked about tubular piers. and
the inquirer is generally prejudiced
against them. The proper material out
of which to build piers or abutments
Is stone and concrete. Tubular piers
are, however. an excellent substitute.
They have been used for years not
only on highway work. but also by
railroads. There are several reasons
for this In the first place. there is
usually a vast difference in the cost,
and were 1t not for the tubular pier
many bridges In Missouri could not
have been built. Concrete or masonry
piers require more excavation. and

much more pumping than Is necessary
In sinking tubular pier. which itself
always acts MS cofferdam. When
there is no rock foundation the differ
/ ence in cost is even greater.
! There have been more failures OF
concrete and masonry piers than there
have been OF tubular piers In most
cases this Is due to the poor construc-
tton of the masonry.
Therefore there are many masonry
piers built of the same class Of stuff
and In the same manner the mason
employs when building a cellar wall
In his locality.
The pressure against tubular pier
at time OF high water Is not great ow-

not apt to hold drift for this reason.
1t is bad practice to set tubular pier
on a rock foundation In stream
where 1t has only foot or two of
gravel or clay to penetrate. In this
case It is best policy to build con-
crete or masonry pier even though the
arst cost be twice that Of tubulal

With The Players.
FREDERIK, THE GREAT.

Mystic art, slight-of-hand, conjury,
sorcery legerdermain and spiritual
demonstrations by the greatest living
master of the art to-day, Frederik
the Great, will be the bill at the Opera
House, Wednesday, Nov. 18th. To say
that this will be the greatest most
sensational and spectacular show of
magic ever seen in this city will give
only the remotest idea of the magni-
tude of the wonderful work that will
be presented by this King Of Wizards.
We all remember the wonderful "Kel-
leT' and the ilustriOus Hermann
many have seen both of them and
maryeled at their skill in magic. In
Frederik the Great we have a combi-
nation Of these two, for he produces
all Of their wonderful tricks and in
addition he will show many new and
up-to-date illusions, which are of the
most sensational and mystifying order
which have never been shown in this
city. Although Frederik the Great has
just returned from a seven-years tour
of the world, where ne has been enter
tanning practically every nationality
of the face Of the earth with his
wonderful work he is not a stranger
to this country, for, long before his
trip abroad he had established the
reputation of being the worlds great
est mystifyer, so that now with his
new and spectacular illusions, which
he secured while in India and HindoO-
stan, he is prepared to present an ar
ray OF mystery and illusions that will
probably never be seen in this city
for many years to come Over $4,000
has been expended for new and SEN
sational illusions for this season
alone, requiring special baggage car
to carry the effects, so that the amuse-
mentioning people Of Americas are
assured of an evenings entertainment
that will be remembered for many
days.

THE WHITE SISTER

Now and then, by the way of break
ing the monotony of musical comedy
offerings, our theatre goers are called
upon to patronize something of a
more substantial character and when
ever such an occasion arises it can be
safely counted upon that the play of
real merit and one Of genuine purpoIt
need not fail to receive proper recog-
milton. The White Sister," which
will be presented by Messrs. Morrison
& Warde at the Opera House, Friday
night, Nov. 18th, is surely a dramatic
treat to warrant the belief that the
friends of the higher order of theatri-
cal offerings have a keen appreciation
for and will be guided by that fact ac-
cordingly. The production as well as
the cast of THE White Sister" will
in every way uphold the reputation
made for it by Viola Allen, who
achieved her greatest success in this
play.

superb chrysanthemums. There the
royal flower of Japan is produced in
absolute perfection, and the gorgeous
display is the admiration of all lovers
of the superbly beautiful in nature.
The flowers grown by the Misses Wor-
thy include all the choicest varieties,
both varigated and solid colors, and
many orders from connoisseurs have
been filled by these young ladies.
Americas gardens, many of them, are
handsome now in their wealth Of au-
tumn flowers but none surpass in beau
ty the chrysanthemum collection Of
the Misses Worthy.

saying is found in the record breaking
triumphs achieved by this frolicsome
play in New York, Chicago and Bos-

principal cities of the country. Char

"THE CHORUS GIRL.

James Forbes comedy The Chorus
Lady" which comes to the Opera

of the best productions that will visit
Americas this season. George AIDE
was never more successful in rolling

room in the second act, showing all
the show girls in various stages of
dress and undress is uncommonly
clever. The. play comes here with the
proud record Of one whole year IN
New York, nine months in Boston, six
months in Chicago, and four months
in London, England.
