DOUBLED IN FIVE YEARS
Amazing Forward Leaps of the Elec-
trical Industry in United
Statea,


In five years. from 1902 to 1907, the cleo
trical industry has doubled, and during the
last three years II has increased by leaps
and bounds. The bureau Of the census re-
ports that the electrical industry has made
the greatest gains Of any in its class.
For purposes OF statistical record central
stations are divided into two groups, one
being called commercial and the other
municipal" In the former group there
are included the plants owned and oper-
ated by individuals, firms or corporations,
and in the latter are included the plants
operated by municipalities. In the com
mercial class there were reported 2,O5 in
1902 and S,462 in 1907. In, the municipal class
there were SIS and 1,252 respectively. The
increase in the business has been in invest
ment, horsepower and kilowatt capacity
and in the output of stations as measured
in klowatt hours, rather than in the num-
Der of plants. The reported cost Of con-
struction and equipment is s1,O96 9l3.622 in
1907 as compared with S5O4.7 O,352 in 1902.
The horsepower capacity increased from
1880, 594 TO 4,O38 465. the kilowatt capacity
from ,212, 235 to 2,709.225, and output in kio-
watt hours from 2,5O7,051115 to 5,s62, 27673I.
From this II may be inferred that there is
something besides water in issued cleo
trical securities. From these plants light
was supplied through more than 100000
incandescent lamps in 1902 and through
more than 100000 in 1907, All this, how
ever, represents only a part OF the ooun-
try's use OF electrical energy. That bust
ness in It's present aggregate represents
the investment Of probably not far from
3l0O 100000
Tie increasing use OF water as an agent
i'm the development Of primary power for
the operation OF these stations is notable.
In 1907 steam engines and steam turbines
furnished 2.627, $50 horsepower out OF a
total OF 4,O32365. while in 1902 the supply
from those sources was 1,379.41 horse
power out Of a total of $780, s4. Water
wheels gave 43s,472 horsepower In 1902 and
1,349,0S7 in 1907 Gas engines were used in
1907 for the development of 55S2S horse
power, in comparison with p, lsl similarly
developed in 1902 Although the horse
power derived from steam in 1907 was
double that obtained by the use OF water
wheels, out Of the 100000 horsepower N
crease in five years slO,6i5 horsepower is
credited TO water and l,24T, 800 to steam.

BUMPS SENTRY, RUNS AWAY
Fort Meade Prisoner Shot Just as
He Gets Near Underbrush.
GUARD COMES TO IN TIME
Deserter Named Cooper FeiRns In
sanity, Tries Fake Suicide and
Pretends He Thinks lie
is Lepcr.

The most ingenious deserter from the
United States army is in close conftne-
ment at Fort Meade, s. D., awaiting court
martial for one OF his offenses. This sol
der, whose name is Cooper, is not 80 in
genious in deserving itself but in schem-
ing to avoid the consequences after recap
ture Murderers wishing to feign insanity
might take several leaves out Of Cooper's
book
Cooper had re-enlisted as hospital
steward when 1t was discovered that he
had deserted from another branch of the
service. He was locked up in the guard
house, where he at once staged little
fake suicidal attempt lie was careful to
yell loud enough to attract attention IN
the next cell before he slipped the moose
around his neck and only let go of the
rope with his hands when rescue was i'm
minent
Next Cooper proceeded TO talk voluhy
to himself, sometimes but by no means
always a sign Of insanity. He affected to
believe that he had leprosy.
"Uncleanl unclean" he would cry when
anyone was In earshot Discovery OF a
copy OF Ben Hur among his effects put
more or less Of a crimp into this little act.
While talking to himself, another soldier,
who had served once In the British army
in India. listened to Cooper's rawlings,
"why that fellow is talking Hindustani"
exclaimed the listener. Cooper, too, must
have been in the India branch Of the Brit
ish army.
Now Cooper, during his confinement
needed exercise. He was not the sort Of
man to be given a pick or shovel and put
to working around the garrison, so he was
sent out under guard Of a sentry.
The two would walk out TO a little
nearby creek and Cooper would daily
amuse himself skipping stones across the
waters surface. He grew quite expert at
this and day by day increased the size OF
the stones to be skipped. When he had
worked up really handsome size he mis-
took the sentry's head for the creek and
bounced a good-sized piece of rock off the
sentry's Uranium.
The sentry went to grass and Cooper
loped for the brush. But the sentry came
to just as Cooper was nearing cover The
sentry grabbed his rifle, took a long shot
and winged Cooper in the shoulder.
He was tried on the desertion charge and
given a dishonorable discharge. Evidence
enough was furnished to raise a doubt as
to his mental balance and he escaped pun
lshment for this reason. says Captain Mari
O'Connor, Judge advocate Of the Depart
ment of the Missouri.
But Cooper is now under court martial
for the assault upon the sentry and he may
land in durance vile for fairly good term
for this offense.

BELLEVUE LIKES new LEAGUE
Big -Four Organization Will Make for
Better Foot Ball.
CHAMPIONSHIP EASILY DECIDED
College May Now Secure Games with
Larger schools and Improve sched-
ule, with Better Receipts at
nox office.

The Bellevue student body Is enthus-
iastio in its approval Of the Big -Four
league, formed Saturday in Lincoln at a
meeting of the representatives OF the in
stitutions concerned. As far as foot ball
Is concerned at least, II makes It unneces-
sary for any member Of the Big -Four to
play more than three games within the
state In order to stand in line for cham
pionship honors. Bellevue. Doane. Wes-
leysn and Hastings comprise the new
league
Under the old conditions the champion
ship, technically considered, was always
decided on paper. There were always
some of the minor teams In the league
that had not met the real possessors of
the honor. BY means of this fact the cham
pionship could be- and in almost every in
stance was, a subject OF controversy. I'm
der the new conditions the championship
will be a matter of fact and not a mat
ter for argument and refutaton.
Foreign Games Permitted.
The new league also meets the approval
Of the supporters Of the purple and gold
on another important count 1t is along
the line Of policy that Bellevue has been
attempting to carry out for the last two
years, namely, branching out into bigger
company, the matching OF games with
out-stRte teams. in particular those OF
Iowa. with the hope that games with such
institutions would be better both for the
foot ball reputation Of the college and the
athletic associations strong box.
The few games that Bellevue has been
able to schedule In this direction in the
last few years have given warrant to its
Ior,
schedule. Morningside, Highland Park and
Tarkio were played with good results. Yet
proposed games with Coe, vermilion and
others which were arranged at various
times were dropped because OF over
burdened schedules. Under the regime of
the Big -Four, Bellevue can go on with its
attempt at branching out. for 1t will have
only three games to play in this state.
To Play Creighton.
In another action taken by the associa-
ton the Bellsvueites feel that they have
reason TO rejoice. A resolution was passed
allowing Bellevue to schedule q game with
Creighton in 1911 Bellevue has played no
game with Creighton. at one time it's most
bitter foe in athletic aspirations, since the
league dropped athletic relations with the
Omaha university some years ago. A game
of base ball was scheduled and played be
tween the two institutions two seasons ago
but Bellevue suffered for II.
II game is scheduled with Creigh-
ton, as in all probability there will be,
1t will give the purple and gold a long
be, II will give the purple and gold a long
desired chance to get at their old rivals.
Moreover, It will give them a game which
will be great success from the box-office
end.
