cereal was thrown all over her face
and hands. In her efforts to get the
hot rice off her face she burned hel
hands and before she could get the
burning fluid off the flesh was burned

burned and Mrs. Van Glider suffered
agonies before the injuries were final

tives uch apprehension as it is dis
tressing in every particular. Mrs. Va1
Glider is prominent in both social an,
fraternal circles and further news o
the outcome of her injury will b,
awaited with much anxiety.

exhibited in which electrical
power performs the work of
steam in drilling and hoisting.
They will see many beautiful de-
vices in decorative lighting for
both exterior and interior; they
will see the inside mechanism of
the two great telephone systems
now in operation in Omaha. They
will see adding machines and
cash registers, and renovating
machines all manipulated by the
wonderful current we call cleo
tricity. They will see the diff
ferent styles and designs in burg
lar and fire alarm bells; office
fixtures, e &c ctrolie ers, street
lamps, pocket lamps, hair driers
and massage instruments and the
wonderful X-ray which has en-
abled surgeons to perform oper-
ations that were impossible be-
fore the discovery of this mar
velous light. In short this cleo
trical show will be a liberal edu-
cation, to the people who visit it,
along the line of electrical i'm
provements and inventions.
BY the way of entertainment
the Electrical Trades Associa-
tion. under whose auspices the
show is given, will furnish fine

Electricity is rapidly becom-
ing the universal servant of the
human race, performing more
and more of the tasks that were
formerly performed by other
methods. Electricity was first
employed to convey telegraph
messages, then came the electric
light and the telephone. In rapid
succession came the motor, the
phonograph. the automobile, and
various kinds of mechanical de-
vices which were formerly pro-
PEELED by steam. 1t is safe to
say that we are only in the A. B.
c. of the electrical world as vet
and fifty years from now we will

veniences that are even at pres
ent not dreamed of.
The electrical show which
opens in the Auditorium next
Monday evening, May 4th, will
vividly illustrate the wonderful
strides that are being made by
inventors of electrical appli-
ances. The people of Omaha and
vicinity are fortunate in having
brought right to their home town
the most modern and beautiful
exposition ever given in the west.
The lighting scheme alone will
be worth going miles to see,
while the booths will be filled
with all sorts of electrical de-
vices and machinery. Competent
attendants will be in charge of
each booth capable of demon
strating to the spectators the
workings of the exhibits on dis

This emphatic statement is made by
Waldemar Michaelsen, city electrician, who
has made a study Of il and who has writ
ten a number Of articles on the use to
which the fluid has been put He says that
new uses are being found daily for cleo
