From Saturday's Dally.
The continuation of the coal
strike over the country is beginning
to be felt in the large power plants
that supply electric power and
among these is the Nebraska Power
company. which furnishes part of
the electrical supply to the city of
Platt.-mouth. Vice-president David
son of that company has issued an
appeal to the patrons of the com
pany urging a saving of electric cur
rent in every possible way in order
to assist in the conservation of the
coal supply of the company.
In this city, the condition at the
local plant has not been affected by
the strike among the coal producers,
but as tha strike goes on the condi
tion will become more serious. At
present there is a coal supply suf;i-
cient at least for the next thirty
days and Superintendent Kuyken-
dall has been able to secure a small
amount of slack from local parties,
that will act as a reserve supply in
case the supply of coil is exhausted.
Should the strike continue over the
next two weeks the result with the
electrical power plants will be ser
ious however and make necessary
radical steps to conserve the power
of the company to within the supply
of coal. '
"he company, both in this city
and in Omaha will serve its patrons
with e'.rf-trk-itv as long as it is poss
ible to do so. but in the event that
the coal supplv is exhausted it will
be necessary to close the plants un
til relief can be had in the way of
a sufficient coal supply.
It is well at the present time to
inaugurate a conservation of the
light service and to burn only what
amount is absolutely necessary as
the less lights that are burned the
less will be the consumption of coal
it the power plant.

EXCITEMENT ON PEARL STREET
From Saturday's ratly.
The residents along Pearl street
esterday afternoon were much ex
cited when a strange canine that
had been shot and mortally wound
ed made its appearance along that
treet and after wandering around
the neighborhood between Ninth
and Eleventh streets finally strayed
into the yard at the home of Mrs.
Peter Bates where the suffering ani
mal made his final exit from the
earthly activities. The ownership
of the dog or the identity of the
person shootMng it remains a mys
tery but its unfortunate condition
greatly excited the sympathetic feel
ings of the good people residing in
that locality. The city authorities
have been notified of the demise of
the animal and a hurry up call for
the official burial wagon of the city
has been made.

recently and that it was doing her
children so much good that she
wanted to keep up the treatment.
You will find nothing better for
coughs and colds in children or for
yourself. It keeps the cough loose,
expectoration easy and soon frees
the system from the cold.

have it completed in a very few
days and in readiness to turn over
to the city for inspection and ac

Main street to Garfield park cer
tainly presents a vastly improved
appearance as the result of the in
stalling of the new curb and gutter
and the grading that has greatly re
duced the steep grade formerly ex
isting there. The rapid work on the
south Fifth street hill gives hopes
of having the north hill curbed and
