Another X coded Improvement.
Now that the city authorities have
paved West Martin street to the new
Union Depot, it would ba a big im
provement to pave the sidewalk on
the south side of NRsh square The
red clay soil is bad there and if tome-
thing is not done, it will give Strang
ere a bad impression of our beautiful
city.
A Little Gravel Needed.
While we are having nice sunshine
weather, if street commi sioner Blake
would put sand and gravel on the
walks of Moore square, it would imi
prove the walks wonderfully. During
the bad spell of weather just passed,
it was simply impassible to pass
along the walks through this square,
if a person just managed to get
through, he did it by walkiog out
side of the walks on the grass. It
would cost very little to fix it up.
WATERWORKS PIPE LAYING
In Lincoln, Nebraska, where new
water works have been introduced,
they resort to a new method of dig
gipg trendies without breaking the
sur ace for laying the pipes. It is to
dig a trench from the main to the
sidewalk &ud then a hole is bored un
derneath the lawn with the service
pipe itself which is connected to a fire
plug by means of a hose. The pipe
is pushed into the ground and the
et of water bores a hole in advance.
When one section ha been pushed as
far as it will go, another is screwed
on and tne process repeated. By
this means a pipe can be carried 75 or
80 feet underground without a trench
and two men can often make three
or four connections in a single day.
Si Plunkard."
J. C. Lewis, one of the cleverest of
comedians, assisted by a company
of merit, presented the aniuting
Yankee drama, ' Si Plunkard," to a
fine audience in Shawhan's opera j j
house last evening, and never wat an
audience more please 1. Mr. Le"is
has surroundered himself with a good ,
company. W. M. Milligan, as the : '
German comedian, is a whcle team, j j
and he was recalled after nearly every j :
appearance. Misses Wright and Rice : i
and W. C. West all found favor with
the audience and were responsible j
for considerable merriment. As to
the comedy itself, there's just plot
enough in it to bring out the quaint
drolleries of the Yaukee pedlerand;
hie coterie of friends, likewise his
enemies "si nunKaru scoreu a
point, and will be greeted by hosts of i
friends should he return to Tiffin. j

Struck by a Snowball.
Phillipsburg, Pa., Jan. 24. The
most remarkable and, at first, seem
ingly unaccountable stupor and sleep
of Miss Carrie Hoffman, of this vil
lage, is peculiarly ei planned. She lay
in a comatose condition at Superin
tendent Anderson's home from Tues
day evening until Thursday, and
then only partially regained con
sciousness. Miss Hoffman states, since the res
toration of her mind and memory,
that she was on Tuesday evening
struck on the back of the head, at
the base of the brain, by a sno v ball,
thrown by some urchin. It hurt her
but little at first, but before she got
home stars danced before her eyes,
and she was soon in a trance. She is
probably suffering from concussion of
the brain.
