the building, where she has been univer-
sally received with courtesy as her afflic-
tion is known to all.
Despite her affliction, for many years
past she has performed many kind acts

The subordinate in your office has forgot
ten himself, and l request that you de-
mand Of him to make a public apology
to this unfortunate woman.
s.Yery respectfully yours,
m. M. FsAGAN,.

the Mayor heard she was in the waiting
room Of his Office he came to the door
and asked her about the occurrence She
complained that that man would not
give her her check and she berated him
for throwing the water in her face. She
said she had been in this country Tor
forty years and had never been SO treat-
ed By a man before.

Obituary..
w. S. ENSIGN, 1836-1903.

William S. Ensign passed away
Monday night, Feb. %, 1908, after
a sickness of long duration.
Mr.. Ensign was born at Warsaw,
Wyoming county, N. Y, Dec. II,
1885. September %, 1856 he was
married TO Miss Clara P. Rice.
Two years later ne came to Hudson.
He was a soldier in the Civil war
for three years and two months, a
member Of Co. A, 30th Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry. In 1868 Mr.
Ensign located in River Falls and
engaged in the business of wagon
making. This industry he pursued
here for fifteen years. In 1888
he disposed of his business inter
ests here and went into business at
Pierre, S. D. He remained in Da-
kota about ten years when he re-
turned to this city, where for most
of the time he held his residence
while conducting his business in
Dakota, and engaged in the sale of
lumber in connection with his son.
About five years ago he suffered
from severe attack of la grippe
which developed into consumption.
Hoping that the mild climate of
southern California would be bene-
fetal he spent the winters of 1898
and 1899 there. While there the
last time Mr.. Ensign sustained a
broken hip, misfortune that has
tened his death.
He leaves a wife and one son,
Frank D. Ensign Of this city, and
two adopted daughters-Mrs. Ed
ward Ecc1es of Alexandria, Indi-
ana, and Miss Inez> Bailey Ensign.
Mr.. Ensign was man highly es-
teemed as a citizen, a business man
and a neighbor. Kindly in his ma
ture, conscientious1y honorable in
his dealings, and with due regard
for the feelings of others, he found
many sincere friends and made few
enemies. He was a member of the
order of Odd Fellows and of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
funeral was held from his late resi-
denCe yesterday afternoon at one
O'Clock, Rev. D. B. Spencer con-
Quoting a brief service after which
the remains we're taken in charge
by l. N. Nichols Post, Grand Army
of the Republic, and buried in
Greenwood cemetery.
Fifteen comrades of Mr.. Ensign,
members of the 3Oth regiment were
present at the funeral, eight of them
having served in Co. A. Those
present belonging to Co. A were:
Rufus r. Young and John Jones of
Hudson, Moses Goodnoe Of Roberts,
Thomas Porter of New Ricomond,
Ezra Healy, John Burnett, Charles
HaWley and w. P. Marshall of this
city.

A New Dynamo.

The demand for electric lights for
stores, public buildings and resi-
dences has increased to such a
degree that the machinery in pres
ent use is totally inadequate to sup
ply efficient service as contemplated
in the demand. There are now
about 1880 commercial lights of
16-candle power in use and many
people are asking to be accommo-
dated with further service. Wiring
of buildings for the inauguration of
lights had been suspended because
the power available was not great
enough to supply any more lights.
1t had been realized that the ma
chinery was being taxed too heavily
to operate 1850 lights. In view of
this condition it became necessary
for the council to provide for addi-
tional power to furnish commercial
lighting. This they have done in
purchasing a new dynamo of the
General Electric Co. S manufacture,
but the machine will not be de-
livered for three months as the
company is thus far behind orders.
The new machine is double the
capacity of the old one, this being
capable of developing 1000 volts as
against 1000 for the old dynamo
This 2,000-volt capacity is about
equivalent to an energy of 85-horse
power.
The old dynamo will be kept for
use in emergencies and made into
2,000-volt machine, and two
phased, as is the new machine, so
that motors can be run with it when
there shall be a demand for this
power to run machinery for mer-
chants and manufacturers. The
two machines will be so arranged
that they can be used alternately or
together.
1t must be understood that the
street light system is run altogether
separate from the commercial light
ing system. The dynamo that fur
nishes the light for the street lamps
is used exclusively for the street
lights. This system is perfect. The
thirty street lights are run by the
dynamo in use with ease and eff
cheney
The power for running the dyna-
mos and the waterworks pump with
the water wheel in use is of about
125 horsepower effect. Should
the street lights, commercial lights
and the pump be all operated at the
same time it would require about
all the power developed by the
wheel. The alternator would re-
quire about 85-horse power (run to
it's full capacity of 1000 vo1ts), the
arc lights require a power of about
25-horse and the pump 12-horse.
1t is seldom, however, that all these
utilities will need to be operated at
once. The pump is run for the
most part in the daytime, as that is
sufficient to supply all ordinary de-
mandS for water.

Burdette.

Robert ]. Burdette, in his lecture
on Rainbow Chasing" was con-
fronted by the largest audience last
Saturday night that the Congrega-
tiona1 church has held for long
time. The lecture was very enter
tanning. 1t was humorous, of
course. 1t wouldn't have been
Burdettesque without the humor.
But his discourse was instructive,
edifying, as we'll. 1t contained
much of the philosophy of life. The
tone of his theme was resonant
with the ring of laughter, the in
SEPARATION Of hope, the incentive to
high endeavor, a prophecy of the
attainment to better things. Mr..
Burdette has been on the stage for
