The wedding party arrived at the church
at exactly half past O'Clock The bride
WAS accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Hooper,
and looked radiant in 2 rich gown of sea-
sonable white taStefGlly trimmed IN Swiss
lace caught up with natural flowers In a
few moments the impressive Episcopal ser
vice was at an end, and the deep tones Of
the organ announced that two were made
one until death, the great separator, should
claim its own.
The party then drove tothe Carey, where
II made merry over dainty luncheon
which embraced all of the good things.
Manager Slough had looked after that
matter himself and il IS needless 20 add
that the luncheon WAS more properly q
feast.

slight mistake be made which would al
low the wire to jump from one circuit to
another shortening" the circuit, as 1t Is
termed, there would be another turnout"
and another armature to repair. For the
average street railway dynamo about five
thousand feet of wire is used for winding
while for some of the car motors
not over three hundeed and fifty feet is
used while two and three thousand feet are
used for the average electric light dynamo.
The largest dynamo repaired in the plant
was the one used by the old Suburban
line which was wrecked in storm. 1t
took many weeks to re-wind it and it was
not pressed into the service until quite
recently. 1t is now giving service to the
present line from the car works and yes
terday was the eleventh day. The rule in
such matters is to give service for eleven
days and in case everything is all
right at that time the work is considered
all right.
OF the many dynamos and motors re-
built at the plant, so far not one of them
have failed to give perfect satisfaction.
Special attention is given medical appara-
tus in repairing or in constructing. Bell
work, hotel enunciatOrS and burglar
alarms also come in the line of work.
The territory covered by the plant con-
sists Of southern and western Kansas Ok
lahoma and much work done down in
Texas, From this great territory, as may
readily be suspected, there is quite de-
mand for this kind of work. Mr.. RheamS
has been in the business here nearly three
years and is quite well pleased with the
results SO far.

HUMANE WORK.

Agent Aspey of the Humane society, has
been busily engaged in finding homes for
children and has succeeded tolerably well,
having only a few more Oh hand. a very
desirable home was found for two little
girls yesterday, and little boy was adopt
ed by a we'll to do couple the preceding
day. A little colored boy will be sent to a
new home in Greenwood county today.
He has several little colored boys on his
hands that would be desirable help about
farm. He could have placed them in
very comfortable quarters in the city, but
the wishes of the children are always con
suited as much as possible. These boys
want to live on farm, and it is probable
they could not be cOntented elsewhere.
They say they want TO work in the field
and learn to drive horses. The younger
one. probably or G, has every confidence
in his ability to handle cultivatOr with
out any teaching or assistance. This Is an
admirable chance for some farmer, as the
little fellows all promise 10 make able
bodied. industrious men. Mr.. Aspey Il

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL
SUPPLY PLANT.
An Extensive Business Making and Re-
winding Armatures and Doing
General Electrical Work.

The Electrical and Mechanical supply
plant, on West Douglas avenue, near the
river, is doing quite clever business and
is the only institution of the kind in the
state which makes speciality of making
and repairing dynamos and electric motors
Mr.. Rheams, who for some time has been
manager of a company owning the plant,
few days ago purchased the stock held
by the members of the company and is
now sole owner of the plant. He is thor
ough electrician and mechanic, having
spent many years at the business. He has
been handling electricity and making
electrical machinery ever since its great
power has been known, and in many
branches has assisted in making new dis
coveries. His patent on an electric clock
to be used at hotels has received much at
tention from the press and he has had a
number of clever offers for exclusive use
and manufacture. Its service is TO do the
work of call bells at hotels and is so con-
structed that by placing a key on the
switch board the call bell in any room will
give the alarm at any time, which

to enforce the examination, so at least the
examining board could report that they

reliable than sleepy night clerks who
are always very busy and, as rule, very
important individuals 1t is considered a
valuable invention by many of the leading
electricians who have examined it and a
company at Louisville, KY, has for some
time been giving it close examination
and has, by offer, caused Mr.. Rheams to
think seriously of selling it.
The work at the plant is such that it is
impossible to give any one employment
who is not an electrician of some merit.
Everything done calls for absolute exact
ness and untiring care at all times. Mr..
Rheams, personally, does much of the
most difficult work and gives his attention
to every department, not failing to OBJ
serve closely everything.
The power for the mechanical work Is
furnished by a twelve horse power engine
and boiler The plant is supplied with an
electro plating machine which gives a sill
yer or nickle coating to any brass, copper
or steel article. This department is kept
rather busy making silver table ware, and
some have suggested that it might he

making electrical novelties. Three lathes
and two planners, the latter for smoothing
iron and brass work, drills and
milling machines and also APP
paratus for cutting and polishing, form
part of the shop.
Most of the work done in the plant con-
sists in re-winding dynamos and motors

the latter applies the force in mechanical

lightning or in the service, calling Tor re-

occur it is. as a rule, fatal TO the armature,
