GIGANTIC POWER PLANT.
To Operate From One Point In Four
Nebraska and Iowa Cities.

Nebraska and Iowa Cities.
The most gigantic power schem
ever undertaken in the United States.
If not in the world, with the exception
OF the power plant at Niagara Falls, Is
shortly to be undertaken on the
Nebraska prairies. Twenty millions
of dollars is involved in the transa >.
ton.
The plan. first contemplates tn >
union of several large traction, electric
light and water interests in the cities
Of Omaha, South Omaha and Fres-
mont. Neb., and Council Bluffs, Iowa.
The second object of the consolida-
ton will be the establishment of the
gigantic power plant. This power is
to be obtained by the construction VI
an enormous dam about four mile
south of Fremont, Neb., between the
bluffs of small stream which is an
offshoot of the Platte river, returning
its waters to the Platte at the point
where the engineers have located tn :
site of the dam.
The dam itself will cost approx.
mately $3,500.000. 1t will be but rs
feet wide at It's base, but 1880 feet
across at the top, which will lie about
80 feet above the peak of the bluffs.
The dam will have, as a protect u
against the burrowing of muskrats, .
wall OF solid cement with an outer
covering of dirt SOC feet in thickness.
the. face of the dam itself being Of
solid masonry.
Above the dam will be erected tn ,
generating plant. which will crea @
the electric power from the fall of 157
feet obtained by the construction If
the dam, and will send the electri,
current generated over wires TO
Ohama. less than % miles away. The
cost OF this plant, together with the
receiving and distributing plant TO be
constructed at Omaha, is, according .
the plans already drawn. to be ap-
prCximately sl.25O,00O.
The power derived from the pla 1t
will. according TO the engineers
figures, be equal to 10000 horsepower
for "a hours a day. or $4,000 horse
powed for 10 hours a day. This power
is to be used for the purposes of the
consolidated street railway and elec.
trio system of the four cities con-
cerned and for the uses of manufacture
ing plants in these four cities and In.

BABY's BODY CUT TO PIECES.
Mother Makes Partial Confession
to the Police.

EImira. N. Y. Feb.s s.-As result Of a
remarkably clever piece of detective work
the Eimira police officials have unearthed
. horrible crime and have two people under
arrest charged with murder.
The arrest brings out the story Of a
most unnatural mother. On Wednesday
afternoon the horribly .mutilated remains
OF baby girl We're found at the city
dumping grounds. The body was in three
sections and had been cut to pieces and
concealed In three apple tin cans.
Around the neck of the infant was a
strip OF calico cloth tied tightly that Il
showed conclnsively that the baby had been
strangled to death. Physicians determined
that the infant had been born alive and
was fully developed.
With only the tin cans and the strip Of
calico to work on, Roundsman Powell went
to work. Assisted by three detectives the
Officers worked, and late last evening ar
rested Annie Schnieski. a comely Polish
girl. a. and Frank Rowiey. swell col
ored man, q.
The girl has confessed that the child was
hers and that 1t was born Sunday night
She says Rowley is the father and alleges
that he made away with the infant after
she had tied the calico about its neck She
claims the child was born dead. Rowley
admits being intimate with the girl, but de-
ntes any connection with the murder.

1.-THE feeling In Wall street is growing
that II. c. Frick will become head of the
Carnegie Company or of any proposed
amalgamation of steel companies This is
logical. He is considered one of the great
est steel men which this country has pro-
duced Up to the time Of his quarrel with
Mr.. Carnegie the latter frequently went on
record in expressing his appreciation of Mr.
Fr.ck. The two giants Quarreled- The cul-
nination of the dispute occurred in Atlantic
City, when Mr.. Frick. although retiring
from active management of the Carnegie
company. virtually won victory. because
his claims and contentious were allowed.
For about a year and half, Mr.. Frick
has remained practically inactive. At the
time OF the quarrel he stated: Il am out OF

by Mr.. Carnegie.
Later events have witnessed a dispes-
ton to press heavily against the Carnegie
company. Competition has increased and
tho combines have entered directly into
the production of their own raw material.
AS a result the Carnegie company, 10 pro-
teet Itself. would have been compelled to
retaiiate- This step was necessary for su-
premacy, or they would have been lost.
Mr. Carnegie would have had TO fight, un-
aided the steel industry. and the. banking
interests which Indirectly control the rail-
roads. Mr.. Carnegie, 1t is believed, was
too old man to undertake such cam
paign. and preferred to make the best
terms which he could secure.
