The wires for the new electric light sys
tenn that is to illuminate the larger bus
mess houses of this city were placed in
position yesterday. The poles used at
the present time are of a temporary char

rived from Omaha yesterday, and will be

hopes of her ultimate recovery.

husband have been more careful in plac-
Jag his revolver out of her way. She had
been suffering from il. health for several
years. and was quite respondent over that
fact; but of late she has improved and APP
peared to appreciate her change for the
better, and to feel greatly encouraged over
it.
She was a Miss Derling before her mar
rage with George Butler. some five years
ago, and when young lady was the pic
ture of health After the birth of their
first child she gradually became delicate
and great sufferer, and this state of affairs
has existed up to the time of her attempt
