The New Lights !

Wednesday evening will long be re-
membered by our citizens as the be-
ginning of new epoch in the history
of Bradford, whereby, night has been
made nearly as light as day, and peo-
pie can traverse our highways and by
ways with a perfect understanding re-
garding their meanderings. The cleo
trio lights were a signal success, and
from the time they were started, about
6 p. m., until a little after midnight
they gave forth perfect, steady,
white light, without quiver. People
everywhere, who were unprejudiced,
pronounced the lights very fine and
expressed satisfaction that we are to
be abreast with most other enterpris-
ing villages in this respect. Company
G band gave a musical program for
the large number of out Of town visit
ors who had come in to enjoy the
illumination and show by their pres
ence their approval. The power sta

plant was carefully looked over, many
of experience in such matters pro-
nOunced the power well fitted and am
pie for the needs of the company.
Mr.. Hooker has made a large outlay,
reaching nearly $4,000 in providing the
80 foot head and 250 horse power Leffel
water wheel. Everything has been
done in the latest and most approved
manner, no expense having been spar
ed to make the plant safe at the sta
ton, and to the. consumers. Electric
lights will increase in popularity the
more they are seen, and the very few
who have predicted a failure in this
way of lighting will be answered by
the lights themselves, and very. soon
their fault-finding and chickering's will
go out into total darkness and oblivion.

How Dead Soldiers Look.

A British army surgeon is authority
for the statement that the cause of death
is clearly shown in the expression of the
face of a corpse ON the field of battle
He states that those who have been
killed by sword thrusts have look of
repose, while those killed by bullets
have pain of an intense nature
clearly depicted.
