item in his expense under such a system is
the wages Of his engineer and siremen.
Electricity Saves Waste.
The waste OF energy I'm a steam power
system is enormous. The energy must be
carried from the central generating plant
to every part of the building. This involves
shafts or belts and the friction and dis
lance use up most Of the power that the
manufacturer pays for.
But with the aid of electricity the factory
can be run with greater efficiency and less
expense. The energy can be transferred
to all parts Of the building with compare
lively little waste, and only very simple
machinery is needed. The engineer is practi-
cally dispensed with in factory run by
electricity and the maintaining expenses
are reduced to a minimum
There is always plenty of power on hand
for the new factories that want to come
into this territory or for the manufacturers
who want to change their power systems.
The electric light company has made it
a business rule to be always ready to make
any addition in the amount of energy that
it dispenses.
New factories are encouraged to come
here and the efforts of the power company,
and its assurance that there will never
be any dearth Of Juice" are part Of
the influence that brings new industries to
locate in this section OF the country. The

ELECTRICITY A NECESSITY

ELECTRICITY A NECESsIT

One corporation that has in the last dec
ade changed it's whole character in nearly
every American city is the electric light
and power company. AS a prominent rep
resentative of the Omaha company re-
marked recently: 1T used to be the natural
thing for a representative of an electric
power company TO disdain to talk to a man
who wanted so small a favor as a ten
horsepower motor installed, but nowadays
we go after every little piece of business,
and we make 1t a point to see that the
most Insignificant customer is satisfied"
II would be very hard to realize what a
modern city would be like without the
services of an electric light and power com
pany One reads vivid descriptions of the
old days when gallants went forth into the
darkness carrying blazing flambeaux before
them and armed with sharpest steel, ex-
pecting any moment to be set upon and
robbed by the marauders that found too
comfortable shelter in every dark corner.
Crime and misery were developed most
easily in the dark. In an unlighted street
the traveller was liable not only to the
dangers of discomfort and delay, but he
was beset by the more terrifying dangers
Of desperadoes.
But the lights that we get from the cleo
lrlC HBnI companies make travelling by
night almost as comfortable as it is by
day.
Even the most modest home can be
brilliantly lighted in a city where cleo
tricity is available. Every possible con-
venience that lightens the strain on our
eyes is afforded by new developments in
these two commodities The Omaha
Electric Light and Power company oper-
ates throughout this city 1900 miles OF
wire. On these wires are strung $50, 00C
sixteen candle power equivalents in lamps
and about 10000 horse power in motors

bration of some great event, some annual
festival or other special time the down

that makes the streets at night so beau
tiful and so fascinating.
Light Necessity.
In private homes electricity is a con-
venience that adds so much to peoples
comfort for a small expenditure: Many
housewife has learned that by the aid
of modern advantages such as electricity
affords her work is easily done and not
by any means interminable.
The Omaha Electric Light and Power
company was organized in 1898 from the
Thomson-Houston company, which had
been doing business here for about nine
years. When the Thomson Houston COM
pany started out 1t had a little plant
that occupied about 1850 square feet of
floor space and had a capacity of 200
horsepower
But in twenty-six years the plant has
grown to be capable of producing as
much as 10000 horsepower and occupies
in floor space 10000 square feet This
growth has been caused by the cheapness
of electricity, by the recognition by the
company of the value of advertising and
by the recognition by the public that with
electricity many things are possible that
are quite impossible without it.
The greater part of the electric force
generated by the plant of the Omaha
company is, of course, used up in lighting
but nearly as great a quantity is given
out in power Huge factories, that, before
the general use of electric power, had
to have immense boilers to run their
engines, now have small motors that set
in motion their whole complicated sys-
TENS of machinery and the householders
have learned to take advantage Of the
same opportunities.
Many Different Uses.
The modern "haus frau" has in her
kitchen an electric stove, she does her
ironing with an electric iron and she
ours her hair with an electric curling
iron. She gives her laundress the pleas
ure of having the washing machine and
the wringer run by the motor that can
be moved around from one place to an
other as 1t may be needed She cools her
rooms just as a hotel or an office does,
with electric fans large or small and if
she is really well-to-do and able to take
advantage of every possible chance OF
comfort, she has her own electrically run
refrigerating plant.
The power from the ordinary house
lighting wire can be made to run a refrig-
Grating or amonia evaporating plant, and
the plant can be installed for a cost of
! less than $1,000 for an eight-room house.
| The machine, when complete, will fur
nish a draught of cold air for any spot
that is too hot. and ice cream and such
frozen delicacies are prepared in a mo-
ment.
The factory is more greatly improved and
benefited by the use of electricity than the
household. Power from enormous steam en-
gines is very expensive and every individual
user has to install a complete plant capable
of producing as much power as he may

sympathetic with the staff's point of view as opposed to that line and it is quite likely they will want to know just why the paymaster general has been deDosed.
 Despite the assertion that the req sons for the busting of the paymaster general did not ante-date March 1 there is a general unwillingness to be- lieve that his opposition to the Meyer reorganization plan and his open criti- cism of it before the Congressional committee and before that time did not have much to do with it. Sec retary Meyer insists that Admiral Rog- CTS downfall is due to his refusal to obey his orders in bringing the naval supply fund within the legal limit and the inefficiency of the accounting de- partment of the bureau. Rear Ad- miral Capps, the chief constructor of the ravy, was under the ban for the same reason but he did not carry on the fight with such persistency as Ad- nliral Rogers.
 Whatever the results. the line of the staff fight is likely to break. out with renewed vigor. Many naval officers are on the anxious seat and numerous orders for sea duty are expected.

 But that is not all. It brought economies; such economies as are mo- table. The new record has been set, as far as values are concerned. It will be set, too, as far as business is concerned.

MUSTN'T TICKLE
THIS NEGRO

TRENTON, N. J., Nov. IT,
Anyone who tickles Geo. Barber,
negro, or even points finger at
him will be arrested on a charge
of assault and battery. Barber is
the "ticklingest" negro in Jersey.
When Samuel Bunting tickled him
in a Chinese restaurant he jump
ed right through a window, taking
sash and all. Another time when
tickled he jumped into a seething
mortar bed.
Then again, somebody poked A
finger at him and he rolled off a
load of hay. Barber doesn't care
what he does when he is tickled
He was arrested for breaking the
window and the court instructed
the police department to keep him
from becoming a public menace by
seeing that nobody ever again
tickles him.
