"OyerIOaded' on Account OF
An Extra Demand
ON THEN FOR INCANDESCENT LIGHTS
But New Dynamos are on the Way and the
City Will Soon Have Good Service.

Waco has been in almost total
darkness for several nights and
there have been many kicks on &C
count of what was supposed to be
poor service.
An arc light would glimmer here
and there and then sputter out and
the incandescents in stores and pub
lie buildings would fare up and
ego out" in the most tantalizlng
manner, and lucky were the folks
who bad not cut off their gas.
Mr.. Charles w. Hobson, mana.
ger of the Hobson Electric Light
and Power Company, who has just
returned from Missouri, was asked
for the cause of the bad service this
morning, and said his company had
recently leased the electric lighting
system of the Waco Gas Company
and that so far no additions had
been made to the plant for increase
of power, but they would put in a
new $50 horse power boiler and
four new dynamos, which are on
the way now. These should have
been here before this
"The demand for arc and incan.
descent lights has been go great,
taken in consideration with those
we now have, that we were over.
loaded" eaid Mr. uobson. "Time
is necessary to complete the work
necessary for the consolidation of
the two systems. We are going to
put in the most complete arc system
that can be had for money. This
will be the Thompson-Houston sys-
TEN"
Mr.. Hobson said there had been
some talk about the increase in cost
Of the lights and that it was more
than likely that 4 > meter system
would be- adopted, based on the
present meter system of cent and
quarter per hour.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Feb. 15.-The in
vestigation of the joint committee of
the house and senate into the alleged
cases of cruelty in the reformatory de-
veloped some sensations during the af-
ternoon. Superintendent Myers adj
mitted that he had whipped half q
dozen of the boys in his charge. The
strap with which the whipping was
done was shown. It is two inches
broad and twenty-five inches long at
tached to short wooden handle. The
edges are rounded so as not to break the
skin. The boys are stripped, hand
cuffed and the strap administered. Su-
perintendent Myers gave as his reasons
for his severe punishment of those in
his charge that the same methods were
in vogue in New York, Pennsylvania
and other states. The committee will
report to the legislature Immediately.

Kansas Legislators Engage in a
Knock Down Fight.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 15.-War is on
real earnest between the two houses of
the legislature and blows have been
exchanged. There are now open
threats by the Fcrulists Of senatorial
hostilities, and at any moment there
may be something more than the talk
which has been so long INDUCED in.
An attempt by TIE deputy sergeant-at-
arms of the Republican house to arrest
Ben G. Rich, clerk of the Populist
house, on orders from the Republican
house, caused conflict during which
two Republicans were knocked down
and severely beaten, and two others
were badly bruised with fists. The en-
counter occurred in the very center of
the city and created the greatest excite
ment.
