COUNCILMAN ALLISON HURT
While Inspecting Water Mains With
Engineer is Thrown From II
Buggy and His Right Arm
Broken.

Mr.. Walter L. Allison, one of the
members of the city council, was the
unfortunate victim of runaway acci-
dent Thursday which resulted in
laying him mp with his right arm
broken.
He is member of the committee
looking after the water and light
plants, and while performing his duty
drove out to Brick town with Mr.. Nc
Donnell to inspect the mains in that
locality They drove Mr.. Allison's
rig and horse and after making the in
spection and starting for town again,
the animal became frightened at some-
thing, whirled with the quickness of
which only small horses are capable,
and upset the buggy before anyone
knew what was wrong. Both the occu-
pants were thrown out, but Mr.. Nc
Donnell fortunately fell on his side in
such a way as not to be injured at all.
Mr. Allison fell on his arm and DR..
Clearinghouse who was called thinks
there is little doubt that the arm is
broken between the elbow and the
shoulder. Mr.. Allison was taken into
Harry Thomas houseand later moved
to his home on south Walnut street.
Mr.. Mcdonnell managed to catch
the horse which had spent its few
seconds of liberty in kicking and jerk
ing the buggy to pieces, and brought
it to town and put it in the barn. Mr.,
Allison's friends are all deeply dis
tressed over his misfortune, but re-
joice that it is no worse.
LATER: A more minute examina-
tion by DR.. Fulton showed that the
arm is only dislocated, but Mr.. ALI
son will lose its use for some time.

GRAIN GROWERS MEET


Salina, April l7.-Reports received
here from various parts of the state
indicate great interest in the APP
preaching convention of grain grow
ers, to be held here May Is. Several
accoci ations are already organized to
begin handling grain on u co-opera-
tive plan, and all of these will be re-
presented at the state meeting. Sew
eral county associations also have
been formed and delegates elected to
the Salina convention. In order that
the convention may be as representa-
tive of the grain growers as possible
j. A. Bucklin, member of the legisa-
ture from Thomas county, has issued
a call for more county meetings. The
question to be discussed at Salina is
whether the grain growers shall 90
into the commission business on a CO.
operative plan or make arrangements
for distribution of grain through GER
tain firms.

| found the lamps with proper cur
rent taking about 465 Watts, which is
about right. | am informed they were
placed onrhe line before being tested
at the power house. 1t is best and
customary to run and adjust all new
lamps at the plant until each is in
proper adjustment. 1t is hardly to be
expected that seventy-siX new lamps
would run smoothly at the start. A
nominal 2000 candle power light is
gauged by the Watts it consumes, not
by the number of standard candles its
light equals. The National Electric
Association fixed 2000 candle lamp
at 450 Watts in an open arc light. But
this old style, open lamp, is being re
placed by the new style, closed: lamp,
such as you have. A 2000 candle
power enclosed arc of this type con-
sumes from $50 to 4SO Watts and its
adoption represents late engineering
practice.
The generator has Il lightning ar
rester on its frame, and while the best
engineering practice requires an ar
roster for each wireentering the build
ing, these are not required 10y your
specifications. [ would recommend
them however. l would also suggest
the use Of opal inner.globes for lamps
around the square and on main
streets as they will give better salts

believe will be generally satisfac-
tory. respectfully,

agreeing that the plant was built as

accept the light plant. The bill OF E.
NJ. Reed & Co. was read, showing all
money paid, except ten per cent to be
held under contract. Action in refer
ence to this last payment was deferred
until the second regular meeting in
May.
A list of extra material offered the
city was referred to the committee
with power to act.
1t was ordered that the electric light
plant be run until II O'Clock every
night and on cloudy nights all night,
and that commercial lights be run
every night ull further notice.
1t was ordered that Mr.. Reeds man

THE TEST.

A total run of about five hours was
made and various measurements
taken. ! found the machine was not
generating its proper current because
the measuring instrument at the
switch board was incorrect. The en-
gineer in charge was in no way re-
sponsible for this. ] found heavy
sparkling at the brushes. which im-
paired somewhat the steadiness OF the
current, and in time would seriously
burn the commutator. The machine
was carrying about three-fourths
load ut the time and should have run
practically without sparkling. On
raising the current to its proper value
this sparkling was almost eliminated
and the curl ent steadied. | increased
the current about three per cent which
represented Il corresponding increase
of power to the line After five hours
run, the armature showed scarcely
warm to the hand and the field mag
nets were 20 degrees G, above sur
rounding air. The dynamo was at
its maximum heating stage ap-
parently.
On the line l found one or more
slight grounds. These are generally
present in new plants and usually dis
appear of themselves. They do not
harm the operation unless they be-
come heavy grounds. They show
chiefly in grounding, more orlless, the
armature or field magnets to the
frame of the generator, which makes
the generator not wholly safe for the
engineer. found slight ground be-
tween the coils and frame OF this dyn'

Bankers, Union Situation.

II. NJ. Miller returned Wednesday
from Topeka, where he with other Of
licers of the Bankers Union, the Ne
braska insurance order which took in
the lola members of the defunct Select
Friends, called on State Superintend-
ent of insurance Church, who recently
barred the Union from doing business
in Kansas. Mr., Miller says that
Church baked on the report being
made by the Union. In it was
an item of $4,000 was guar
anty put up by the officers of
the Union to raise funds to keep
organizers in the field. This guar
anty was partly put up and part re-
mains simply the officers guaranty,
1t was scheduled as. an asset of the
Union, but Mr.. Church insisted that,
as the officers expected some time to
be reimbursed, it should figure as a
liability. 1t seems probable that the
officers must come to this mark and
then there will be no further trouble.
