NEW ELECTRIC PLANT.

Big Engines for the Home" Company
Improper Insulation Of Wire.
The Home Electric Light Company yes
terday let contract for the first INSTALL
ment of its new plant of machinery. The
contract is for two 250-horse- power COM
pound condensing Arlington & Sims en-
gines, and the plant will be one OF the two
finest plants in the United States. the one
in the Omaha Motor Cempany's power
house being almost duplicate of the new
one ordered yesterday.
DR.. E. C. Kilbourne. of the Home Elec-
trio Company. in speaking of the matter
of improper insulation of electric wires,
said yesterday: Your discussion of the
subject in this mornings Posr-INrELLI-
GEScER is very timely, and it is a matter
which should be attended to. When the
Pacific Electric Company started to
furnish lights several months ago, Mr..
Balch as electrician. and myself as presi-
dent, went to the other light companies
and tried to secure their cooperation in
having an inspector OF wires appointed in
wiring.s Some of the companies
thought that there might be some private
interests of our own that we wanted to
subserve and they would not join wit b us.
We also saw several leading insurance men
and offered them our cooperation in any
measure to secure proper wiring. With
proper wiring the electric light is the safest
in existence. But as stated in your article,
there are number of irresponsible parties
who call themselves wiremen, but who
know nothing whatever OF the requirements
necessary in wiring a building, and they
use the cheapest wire' and the shabbiest
workmanship possible. The new Home
Electric Light Company will give its hearty
cooperation in any endeavor to insure
proper and honest wiringn

ing. and soon after the shades of night had
fallen he was in police headquarters i'm.
ploring Chief Monroe to issue him a per-
NIT to carry q pistol. The cause of his
anxiety was the fact that he had just been
arrested for carrying concealed weapons,
and his guilt was shown by the nickel
plated gun produced from his pocket. Mr..
Young discovered two important facts last
evening-that the chief Of police cannot is
sue permits for carrying pistols, and that
it il cheaper to go unarmed.

open for the excavating. which will be
necessary prior to the Introduction of the

Southern Respect for Law,

Seventh, or "Black" Congressional District

the Democrats they collected the heavy
Republican counties into one irregular mis-
shapen district. They expected that this
district would be. Republican; and SO 1t was
