Not of least importance among Bir- mingham's great industrial enterprises is the Consolidated Electric Light Plant, now owned and operated by the Blr- mingham Light, Power and Railway company.
 It can be said without fear of contra diction, that this Is one of the largest in- stitutions of the kind south of the Ohio river, and that it's growth and develop ment have kept apace with the general progress of Birmingham.

 Historical.
 It was not until about the year 1885, that electricity was introduced in Bir- mingham as lighting quality, and the first plant was installed by the Elyton Land company. Within short time thereafter, the Birmingham Gas com- pany became purchaser of this plant, and it became the Birmingham Gas and Electric Light company. This was in the boom days; the days of rapid and fierce competition, of speculation, ambition and boundless hope. The Edison Company and the Merchants Company were organized and soon established plants Then all these plants were merged and became the Consolidated Electric Light company.
 From the Beginning.
 MT. J. M. Bradley. the present efficient superintendent of the company, has been connected with it for more than fifteen years. and he has seen it's business grow from sixteen arc lights to it's present splendid proportions.

The Foot Race.

Quite humber of people gather
ed out west of town last Saturday
afternoon to witness the foot race
between Dick Beatte and N. B. Peck
The race was a fast one and the best
ever seen in this part of Kansas.
Beatte won by about two feet. 1t
was a 5o=yard race, for purse of
$50. There was no side betting to
speak of, although Beatte money
went begging. Dick was in pretty
good shape while Peck says he did
not have the proper training, and
thinks he could have done better if
trained. Both got off the mark well
and it was all over in a few seconds.

Post office inspectors were here
Monday searching for lost regis
tered package which contained S6,-
600 or So, 900. 1t appears that
when the sack containing the regis
tered mail reached the Larned office
it was discovered that it should
have been sent to Great Bend in
stead of to Larned, and that, ac-
cording to the bill which accom-
panied the sack, it was one package
short. An effort is being made to
fasten the blame for the loss upon
the Larned post Office, but people
of this city and county who know
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Johnson, his
chief clerk, have the utmost conf
dence in their honesty and integrity,
and will not believe for a minute
they are responsible for the disap-
pearance of the package. No ar
rests have been made, and the
probability is the matter will soon
be Strengthened up.-Larned Eagle,

J. J. Cloud brought to this Office
this week an egg that goes to prove
all that has been said in the past
about the industrious and product
i've hen. The egg in question was
one ofextremely large size, and when
broken was found to contain another
perfect egg of an ordinary size. The
space between the inner and outer
shells was filled with the white of
the egg but no yolk. This is a great
country indeed, when the hens have
to lay two eggs in one to keep up
with the times. Norwich Herald.
