SHOW TO STRIKE SPARK FOR THE PUBLIC


Light and Power company will publish a daily paper during the eS-
position. t.
Crane & Co, are planning an exhibit which will be a "regula
premier on electricity, They will show appliances from batteries
to the most complicated machinery, making it possible for anyone TO
see as near as anyone in the world has eve seen. where electricity
comes from.
That the displays in minor electrical appliances Will be a whole
new world to many goes without saying. Literally carloads of new
appliances have been shipped to Omaha by local dealers and out
siders, that they might show the goods for the first time at the
Omaha Electrical show. The fixture houses, which have secured
exclusive designs in lamps and found them selling. are making the
provision that they are not to be delivered until after the big show.
These new things for the home will be shown in endless profuson,
from the den lamps to the showers for the dining room. Last year
almost everything was included. but with the fixture houses the
motto this year is only new ideas"
That an electric incubator is practical will be demonstrated by
George H. Lee. Mr.. Lee has had some of these incubators set for
the necessary time to have them hatch during the exposition.

Progress in the Field of Electrical Application

seen some wonderful improvements In the production of light by
electricity. The foremost of these is probably the Tungsten mean
descent lamp, by which we can produce better light for less money
than by the old carbon hlament lamp. This product promises to
revolutonize modern artificial lighting, as the Tungsten lamp pro-
duces a light by which colors can be distinguished almost as easy as
by sunlight, and the consumption of current for the same candle
power is a little less than one-half of that required by the old style
incandescent lamp. The fact that this lamp will fit into the ordinary
lamp socket will help increase it's popularity and usefulness.
In spite of the fact that we have reason to be proud of this new
invention, we must still acknowledge that we are far from the proper
solution of producing light in a economical and efficient a manner
as by natures agent, the sun. Light is vibrations of the ether of a
certain rapidly and direction. To produce light it should not be
necessary to make heat and therefrom derive light, 1t will in a dis
tant future undoubtedly be possible to produce light directly by i'm
parting to the ether Of our atmosphere the vibrations, which are and
constitute light. In order to accomplish this we must employ a cur
rem of higher potential and frequency than we have thus far been

position as an educational effort, the United States
government will make an unusual display and the signal corps wire
less telegraph plant will be installed. This is done through the
kindness and efforts of Colonel Glassford, the post commander at
Fort Omaha.
Just in front of the stage the main wireless station will be in
stalled. The antenna for this station will be the one over which
communication with Fort Omaha will be made and the message of
President Taft will be received to open the show. The president
will wire his message of greeting by telegraph to Fort Omaha, then
it will be relayed to the wireless and from the military post will be
flashed to the Auditorium.
The second station for the wireless demonstration will be placed
to the right of the main entrance at the front of the booths. Here
visitors may stop and send wireless kilograms to themselves or
friends. The message will go out over the top of the building and
be received at the other end of the building, where it will be denv.
cred to the parties addressed.
Not less interesting than the exhibit to be made by the United
States army will be the block signal plant and electrical experiment
work which will be shown by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
This will be in charge of DR.. Frederick Milner and is given through
the kindness of A. l.. Mohler, vice president and general manager.
The block signal plant will not be a model, but the fullsized equip
ment will be used, showing how trains HOP" from point to point on
the railroads which use this system, absolutely in control of the cleo
trical blocks.
Visitors who do not believe a block signal will prevent a train
wreck. o that some operator asleep may prevent them from work
ing. will be shown that the blocks used on the Union Pacific arr not
susceptible to human weakness and negligence when once installed,
but that trains run by them re safe from wreckage.

in satisfactory manner. AS the territory, which had to
be covered, grew larger, a different kind OF current was
necessary to accomplish what to the public would seem
to be the same thing, only on a larger scale In this
case it was deemed practical to employ alternating in
stead of direct current at a pressure of 10 1000 volts in
stead of the original 500.
By recent improvements great progress has been
made in long distance electrical power transmission.
making it possible to harness waterfalls and centralize
power plants, thus cutting down the cost of current. This
has also made possible the electrifcation of railroads and
interurban railways, which are rapidly increasing in
number. Whether electrihcation OF tTanscontinental
railroads will be feasible by our present methods or by
storage batteries is one of the questions left open for the
future to decide. One thing is sure, and that is, if the
latter method shall be adopted we must first produce a
battery like the one Edison has promised to present to
the world for the last fifteen years.
In the line of storage batteries we have made but
very little progress since these were first invented. A
commercially successful battery, which is not worth its
weight in gold and would not weigh as much as gold,
would put electricity ito work" for many purposes, the
most important of which. from present indications, would
be for the propelling Of automobiles. Late years have

- T MAY be a difficult task for a woman to keep "a jour" with the
rapid and various changes of fashion, but such would sink into
oblivious insignifcance compared with the requirements for
keeping abreast with the constant new developments in the
source and application of electricity.
The people at large learn of any new results accomplished by the
mystic fluid, but are not familiar with the changes and variations in
the kinds of current necessary for the production of these results.
The old fundamental las for direct current were overthrow with
the introduction of alternating current, and as experiments on high
potential and high-frequency current progress, we again find differ
ent individuality of our Invisible agent. These changes in currents
make necessary new apparatus and new methods for delivering
the Juice. An example of this is furnished by the Omaha Lighting
plant within the last ten or twelve years, when singe-phase current

oy three-phase current, while the voltage or pressure has been in

Something of the work necessary to prepare for the electrical
show may be realized when the fact is known that the Omaha cleo
tricians having it in charge have held a meeting every Saturday since
January l, while the Omaha Electrical club, which meets Wednesday
moons, has had the matter up for discussion. at every meeting since
the last show closed a year ago.
That the object of the show will be accomplished there is little
doubt in the minds of the managers. 1t was a financial success last
year. and this year care will be taken to spend all the money re-
ceived. This the managers will do by providing the best of music,
both instrumental and vocal. Miss Blanche Mehamey, the woman
who Sings to beat the band" will sing afternoons and evenings.

youth he attended the district
school and clerked in village store
in his native county. In May, 1864,
he entered the U. S. military SER
vice as a member of Co. c., 138th
regiment, Indiana Volunteers and
served throughout the term of his
enlistment in southern Tennessee.

he left Ellsworth and engaged in
newspaper work in Superior and
elsewhere until 1889, when impaired
health and failing eyesight COM
PEELED him to abandon the business.
In 1896 he became totally blind and
three years later returned to Ellis
worth, where he resided the re-
mainder of his life. His familiarity
with type cases enabled him to de-
rive great pleasure setting the type
for some original editorials which
appeared in the Ellsworth Record
under the heading, Blind Mans
Buff"
Mr.. Kimball had been lndent1t1ed
with various fraternal organizations
and at the time of his death was
member of Ellsworth Lodge, No.
$50, 1. o. o. F., and Alonzo Palmer

At The Normal School

A revival of football is taking
place at the Normal school. One
evening last week all the boys inter-
ested in football met, elected officers
and organized the athletic associa-
ton. The followi ng officers were
elected: Pres, Oscar Thompson;
Vice Pres, Ray Junkman; Record
ing Sec, Fred Short; Treas, Tom
Berg; Mgr, Thomas Hennessey.
Tom Riley was appointed by Pres.
Wilson to fill the office of Financial
Secretary. Prof. ]. H. Ames of the
History Dept. was selected to coach
the teams. Every night for the
past week from twenty-five to thirty
boys haye been on the field for
practice. In view Of the fact that
only five or six Of the squad have
played before, the team that will
be eventually selected promises
to be largely raw" but there is an
abundance of frst-rate material
available for the formation of
heavy, as we'll as a fast team. The
spirit of the boys in getting out to
practice and taking up the strenu-
Gus work of getting into shape, in
dicates that they mean to make
football 60, and with the enthusiast
tic support Of the whole body of
students and the faculty, football
will be made a success.
A party Of young ladies of the
school, accompanied by several
members of the Normal and high
school faculties, enjoyed a picnic
and bonfire among the dalles down

rest in Greenwood Cemetery.
Blessed are the pure in heart;
From them for us It's hard to part;
But at some time there comes a call,
And we must answer, one and all.
Our little daughter, to us so dear
When hidden departed without fear;
She has entered into the kingdom of heaven
Where seat at the throne of God was given
The loss of our loved one, It's hard to bear
But God in his mercy our grief will share,
And when our journey of life is DER
She'll welcome us on the golden shore,
