EDISON COMPANY'S PLANTS
Remarkable Growth and High Stand
ing of Useful Industry.

One of the most successful and useful
industries in the city is that of the Ed
isOn Electric Illuminating company
which was organized in the winter of
1885, and commenced business with
about fifteen customers, served from a
dynamo attached to the machinery of
the Shawnee Mills. This was in the
early days of electricity, when there
was still much doubt as to its success
for Illuminating and power purposes.
After a few months demonstration a
permanent plant was erected on Van
Buren street, in the heart of the city,
from which a constantly increasing
current has been served without inter-
mission, day and night, except one day
when the plant was partially destroyed
by fire.
More than 500 customers are now
served, and the company has promptly
adopted all the new appliances and
forms of service, and has given its Gus
toners the advantage of reductions in
rate, just as fast as economy in opera
ton and introduction of improvements
and growth of business has justified.
In addition to the original incandes-
cent service it now furnishes Jenny
Arc lamps, Thompson and Houston
Arcs and an alternating system for the
suburbs, furnishes power to a great va
riety of industries, and is now intro
ducing a new incandeScent arc lamp
which runs $50 hours without renewal
and is extremely desirable for all store
lighting.
The company has been conservative
ly managed and although called upon
for frequent extensive additions to its
plant it has maintained the highest
possible credit. mechanical and fnan-
ciaL Convenience, safety, cleanliness
and economy all appeal to good judg-
ment Of users of both electric light and
power

TON AND A HALF FIREWORKS.
Sixteen Men Abreast in the Flambeau
Parade.

The fireworks which will be used in
the parade Thursday night have been
ordered, but they will not arrive until
Thursday. There are $500 pounds Of
them and they have not been shipped
because it would be difficult to find a
place to store them.
The display will be at least twice as
large as any ever seen in Topeka 1t
will also be the finest ever seen in this
part of the west. A detachment will
carry colored fire torches and these will
be used to light the fire crackers as
we'll as to illuminate the parade.
The Democratic and Republican fam
beau clubs will meet together at the
Republican fiambeau headquarters for
drill purposes. The intention is to have
one of the clubs on either side of the
street car tracks on Kansas avenue so
that the street will be filled with a
blaze of fireworks. The intention is to
have the ranks formed of 16 men
abreast.
