Household Gods

The ancient Greeks believed
that the Penates were the gods
who attended to the welfare and
prosperity Of the family. They
were worshiped as household
colds in every home. The house
hold god of today is DR.. King's

tion, coughs, colds and for all
affections of throat, chest and
lungs it is invaluable. 1t has
been tried for a quarter of a CEN
tury and IS guaranteed to cure,
or money returned. No house
hold should be without this good
angel. 1t is pleasant to take and
a safe and sure remedy for old
and young. Free trial bottles at

two wires to q three wire system
This would reduce the drop in
the line, permit a considerable
extension beyond the distance
now covered, and economic in
copper for overhead lines. The
cost Of such change would not be
great.
The arc machine has a capacity
of fifty 1900 candle power lamps,
and with the new armature specl-
fed could be run up to It's full
capacity, but [ do not think the
present armature would carry the
load.
The plant is at.present running
smoothly, and there is nothing
to Indicate that the machinery is
in other than good condition, with
the exception Of such specifica-
tlonS as have been given above.
Touching the steam machinery
it will probably be found advisa-
BILE to rebore the engine cylinder
and repair the valves.
After the above summary Of
the plant under operation, now
touching the question of the
erection Of an entirely new plant:
A new plant for the purpose of
supplying the city Of Ocala with
arc and incandescent lamps,
equipped with modern up-to-date
machinery, both electrical and
mechanical, could be built and
equipped including outside work,
pole lines, inside work, equivalent
to that now IN under the present
company, and all other necessary
details, at a total cost not to eX-
ceed SIS, 600, assuming that suit
able lot could be purchased and
building erecting at a reasonable
figure.
In my opinion the purchase OF
the present plant would give. the
city an equipment which, with
the change, when needed, to the
three wire system mentioned,
would meet all requirements, and
give satisfactory service without
accidents due to any, at present
Inherent faults in the machinery
or general installation, always o.

tions for changes.

To the City Council. Ocala:
Gcntlcmcn:-I beg leave to
submit the following minority re-
port in the matter of III" pur-
chase Of the electric plant now in
operation in this city.
Under you. instructions your
committee was authorized and
empowered to employ A. w.
SchOcn, an expert electrician, TO
inspect and report on the cOndi-
ton and value Of the electric
plant now supplying your city
with lights.
In Mr.. Schocn 5 report he re-
commended certain additions and
repairs to the plant in order to
put the same in first class order.
and also estimated the value of
of the plant at Sl2,5S,. Provided
the present owners would carry
out in full the suggestions en-
braced in Mr.. SchOen' S report and
would in addition thereto furnish
ten more new 1900 candle power
arc lamps and erect them under
the direction Of the city council, |
would recommend that the city
council submit an offer to the
General Electric Company of
81, 900, provided the company
accept the six per cent bonds of
the city. Respectfully,

TIE EXPERTS REPORT
On the Present Condition Of the Ocala
Electric Light Plant

HAVING inspected ana LcSLCQ the
electric lighting plant at OcaIa,
now owned and operated by the
General Electric company, [
found the same in generally good
condition under test both when
running and when cold. The "H. &.
l." direct current incandescent
machine, showed in thoroughly
good condition. The LID y so
light arc machine, under test,
showed proper insulation in the
fields, but the arTature tested
slightly weak. Going over the
pole line | found it in Indifferent
condition and actual measure
mrnt showed that only eleven
miles OF outside wire was up in
stead Of twenty-five miles as re-
ported and included IN the esti-
mate made by the General Elcc-
trlc company.
In event Of the city deciding to
purchase this plant from It's pres
Cnt owners, would advise the
following stIpulations, same to
be completed before accepting the
plant.
/. That D Gramme ring LID IL
arm1tlrc be added tc the present
equipment; same to be new and
In good condition..
z. That an additional new dl-
rect reading thompson voltmeter,
reading on scales as high as $50
volts, be Installed on switch
board and connected IN shunt
with wires from the 'H. L. ma
chine now IN use.
;. That the entire pole line and
overhead wires be put IN good
shape; all the poles that have
rotted to any considerable extent
to be replaced with sound poles,
in height and diamater not less
than those removed. All ROTTEN
or broken cross arms and pins to
be removed and replaced with
sound material. All wires to be
properlv drawn up and attached
to their designed supports, and
defective or unsoIdered Joints to
be rcmade and properlv soldered
and tapped.
i, The twelve old arc lamps not
chan~cd to be repI3ced with -
M12 double carbon lamps, new
and in good condition, similar to
those recently installed.
5. All work inside buildiugs
now defective to be made to con-
form to the rules of the National
Board of Underwriters. for safe
wiring,
In my opinion the full values
estimated by the General Elec-
trio company in their schedule
exist, not to the extent of the
original estimate, SIS, ,5G8.65, but
to that amount less the S5O68. .65

Here is California romance Of pov-

reports an exchange, Mrs. Cecilia Nou-
CUES, then only 19years old, went to the
Pacific coast with her husband on their
honeymoon trip. There for the first
time they met John r. Hite, one of the
pioneers of the gold days, who had
made fortune of $3,O00,000 They were
his guests at dinner once or twice. and
then parted from him to meet no more
for years. In their brief acquaintance,
however, the millionaire gold miner had
learned to love pretty Mrs. Nougues,
and though she already had young
and healthy husband, he vowed he
would never marry until he could make
her his bride. Through years of wait
ing, when he had lost all traces of her,
he kept bis VOW. Recently he became
i'll. His doctor ordered q nurse, and
Mrs. NOugues, now widow earning her
own living as nurse, was sent to attend
him. Each was unaware of the identity
Of the other until they met in the sick
room. Imagine, if You can, their sur
prise. Mrs. Nougues was a capital
nurse, and Mr.. Hite became such an eX-
cellent patient that health soon re-
turned. Then the millionaire. now G7
years old, avowed the love that had
survived II years of doubt and waiting.
Mrs. Nougues accepted, and they were
married in Oakland on October IA by
Rev. Charles w. Wendte.

1t is thus that in all the walks of life and
in all occupations times change and knowl-
edge and efficiency increase. In this re-
spect medical science has kept pace with
the advance in other lines. Physicians and
chemists have grown rapidly more skillful.
There are medicinal preparations nova
days that cure diseases that were few
years ago considered absolutely incurable
The final triumph in this respect is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
was first given to the world thirty years
ago, and has stood the test ever since that
time. 1t cures o8 per cent. of all cases of
consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred
affections. Thousands who were hopeless
sufferers and had been given up by the
doctors, have testified to its marvellous
merits. 1t is the great blood maker and
flesh builder. 1t makes the appetite hearty,
the digestion and assimilation perfect, the
liver active, the blood pure and rich with
the life-giving elements of the food, and the
nerves strong and steady. 1t acts directly
on the lungs and air passages, driving out
all impurities and disease germs. An hon
est dealer will not try to persuade you to
take an inferior substitute for the sake of a
