An ox-omployo of the Thomson-Houston
Electric Light company has been giving
away the practice of the company , In carryIng -
Ing on its business down at the power houso.
If the statements made are true deception Is
being practiced at every opportunity to pre
vent the city electric'- ! ! ! making a fair test
of the light circuits for voltage and
amocrago.
This ox-omployo Is well known in electri
cal circles and Is not credited vilth the
habit of conversing through his tilo. Ho
tolls the story in a straightforward manner.
Hero Is what ho says :
"Down at the power house the company
has two Corliss engines. Apparently both
nro under pressure , but such is not thu en so.
The steam valve on ono remains closed , and
the iwwor of the other under pres
sure propels both cnglaes. This prac
tice Is carried on until the city
electrician appears. Then quicker than a
wink the valve is opened and both engines
are thnn under pressure. The dead engine ,
for such I will call It , responds quickly to
the pressure and almost Instantly there is amore
moro rapid hum to the dynamos and appli
ances , and the current Is greatly Increased.
This Is not nllohowuvor. When the hour of
midnight arrives the flros nro partly banked
and lustaad of a pressure of steam of eighty
poumls or so It drops to llfty or sixty , and
that is the maximum' pressure until dawn ,
when the current for the street lirht is
turned off. They nro a sly lot down" there
and will fool the electrician at every oppor
tunity. "
City Electrician Cowglll was asked If ho
had over noticed an Increased hum to the
machinery nftor ho entered the building.
Ho replied that ho had and had wondered
what caused It. Ho said the above story ex
plained all.
There is a peculiarity about the rojtort of
the committee on electric lights that goes
unexplained. The committee reports ad
versely upon the report of the electrician
and pronounces the photometric test a fail
ure because eminent electricians say"that
the correct way to determine the candle
powcrofanarc light is with a volt motor
und an auipero mater. A morning paper
quotes a number of authorities.
Without exception they do not de
clare that a reading cannot bo
made with a photometer , and the most pro
nounced say that the test is unsatisfactory
und that the Instrument can only bo handled
successfully in a laboratory in the hands of
an export. These same authorities hold
that the correct test is the voltage nnd am-
pcraga Mr. Cowgillhas not only made tlio
photometric test , but his volt and ampere
meters have also boon usod. Perhaps the
committee does not know this , but it is a
fact. Thu committee has no fault to llud
with the photometric test of Gas Inspector
Gilbert on the gas and gasoline lights , and
each shortage in candle power is quickly deducted -
ducted from the bills of those lighting con
cerns.

STRUG OLE FOR A CHILD.
Sequel of a Divorce \Vliloli Dumon trated
a Mothnr'H DrvoUnn.
Last ovoniug shortly after 5 o'clock there
was a domestic scene enacted at the Sovon-
tcanth street entrance to the Now York Life
building that caused considerable commotion
for n brief moment and caused quito a crowd
to congregate. The participants were a
dlvoiced wife , her attorney and the former's
husband previous to the time a decree whs
granted. The three were contending for the
custody of a curly-haired , brlght-oyed little
child of three summers , who was in the
mother's arms. The father was so de
termined in his efforts that ho resorted to
physical force , and but for the timely inter
vention of the attorney would have been suc
cessful.
On the last day of the term of the district
court thu former wife was granted a dqcreo
by JUdge Scott and given the custody of the
child. At the time the decree was issued
the child was in the custody of the father ,
and has so remained until yesterday. By a
strategic movement the mother outfitted
the father and secured possession of the
child. In company with her attorney , she
was making her way to the Now York Life
building , when the father hove in sight and
demanded the child. When refused ho
made a frantic effort to secure the child by
forco. They were uoar the entrance to the
building at the timo. When the enraged
husband made his exhibition of phjsical
strength the attorney took a very effectual
baud. Ho reached out and took hold of
"papa" by the nape of the neck ana hurled
him in the opposite diroctiou Irom the
mother and child. Before the surprised ,
cast-off husband could recover himself thd
mother , child nnd attorney had disappeared
In the building , and ho gave up tlio chase.

Tom Cook was in the city yesterday. Ho has
been enjoying an outing in Colorado for the
past eight weeks , und was brought homo
sooner than ho hud anticipated by the as
tonishing news that Lincoln was lighting
the Burlington. In speaking of the .situation
in Colorado , ho said : "You cuu't imagine
what it is like , nnd no man can properly
describe it. Little towns of from 1,200 to
1,400 people that enjoyed the trade of per
haps 5,000 minors on the hills around It ,
amounting to $ j or $ t each per day are now
desertotl und a muu has to tie a boll to him
self when ho goes out to keep from getting
lost. It is a most deplorable condition of
affairs und a man only needs n glance over
the ground to convince him of the Serious
ness of tno situation ,
"It was something awful in Donvcr nt the
time of the run on the banks. The reports
sent out did not begin to toll the story.
Every human being in that city , the entire
living population , was on the streets , and
such a scene of oxcltoment Is witnessed but
once In u lifetime. Women und children
were crying , and mon , too. for that matter ,
and lots of them didn't knnxv whether the
sun was going to rise on another day or not ,
I am frao to say that , although I Have been
around quite a little , I never saw anything
line it before , und I never want to go
through it again.
"Say , this thing of Lincoln fighting the
Burliugton is u corker , ain't it ? It broke mo
all up. It wouldn't have surprised mo any
moru to have heard of a rebellion in heaven ,
Fighting the Burlington und the Nowborry

states that a letter is on tno way and in
which ho counsels tnb Omaha boys to do
nothing rash. '
Mr. Gilliland states that Chief Kamsoy ,
who has loft the city--U3ctl every eflort to
obtain possession of tno.books of the Omahu
division. Gilliland said'that ho refused t'o
give thorn up except Upon legal demand ,
which was not made.
It is the belief or members of the oraor In
Omaha that rather than have the affairs of
the order placed in the hands of a receiver ,
which would bo the last resort , Chief Ham-
soy would resign.

"Tho Wolves of Now York , " with which
the Furnam Street theater will open its
season Sunday night , is from the pen of
Leonard Grover , esq. , the author of a num
ber of successful American dramas and com
edies. Mr. Grover knows the ins and outs
of Now York life as well as any writer for the
stage , and in "Tho Wolves" ho is said to
have grouped a number of characters with
scones nnd situation which make a scries of
most entertaining stage pictures , and in un
interesting way picseuts a truthful delinea
tion of the methods of that largo class of
sharpers , both male and female , who infest
nil great cities and prey upon the innocent
and r.nsophistocatcd. It goes far toward
opening the eyes of the public to many un
scrupulous devices and frauds , of which they
might otherwise become the victims.
The play has been presented in Now York ,
Boston und Philadelphia , receiving the
warmest praise from the critics of the great
dailies.
Piles of people have piles , but Do Witt's
Witch Hazel Salvo will euro them.

A cusro in pointcowo * from Riibhmoro ,
O. , where Dr. A. P fo , one of the must
prominent physicians in the state , re-
bides. Iluwriloa :
"About thrca months ago I secured
for the first time two bottles of Pnino's
celery compound. I carelessly
laid them to one sida until I found one
of my patients I was treating for dys
pepsia gradually growing worse and
that remedies I had previously boon sue-
cehsful with would not have any olTect
on him. I then thought of the Paino't ,
celery compound , am1 as un experiment
_ juvo him one of thorn , tolling him to
dike itccorciing : to directions on the
bottle. Imagine my surprise whan , ten
davs later , ho walked into my ollieo and
said , 'Doctor , I believe I am cured of my
dyspepsia. '
"Now , after having taken the second
bottle , ho , us also myself , considers him
self a sound and well man , being entire
ly free from any disagreeable sensations
after eating. Since first commencing
the use of P.iino's celery compound he
has gained 33 pounds , and is the very
uicturo-nf health.
"I shall cheerfully answer any com
munications I may receive in regard to
the compound , and hope that my experience -
rionco nv.iy bo of bunelit to some profes
sional brother who is not too narrow-
minded to be liberal professionally. "

Of alterations anil improvements In our store today
and for i few more ilays to conic. The carpenters
and a noisy crew they are began up on the third floor
one day lust week. They took the old floor up from the
rafters where it's laid for so long and pitched it out of
the building for good and all. For a few days they ran
things as they liked up there and when they quit at
the end of the week we'd a new floor and a few more
comforts to thank them for. Today they're down on
second lloor with their hammers and picks and saws
and iiuils creating dire confusion wherever they sec
fit. Stocks arc being shifted'round from place to place
parts of the lloor arc old parts are new and in some
places there's nolloor at all just beams that's all.
'iMidstallthisdustaiiduoi.se we're doing a little car
penter work on our own account : "cutting" down the
prices on some thin clothes that we "saw" were going
slowly putting them into the quick-moving cia.ss
"Immmerhif ; " them out at prices that it's "phine" to be
seen "augur" well for your pocketbook ; at such prices
as to "nail" your attention immediately ; cutting the
$1.25 alpaca coats to 75c and the $1.75 ones to $1.25 ;
cutting drap d 'etc coats and vests the finest kiiulsvtlmt
should be $1.50 and $5.00 to Sfl.OO and $ .50 ; ham-
moving down the fine kinds of llannel coats to a dollar
ninety apiece your si/.e and color among them ; selling
a few odd si/.es of line coats and vests of dillcrcnt sorts
at from one to two dollars less than we sold the same
kinds only a week ago. It's a muss tluit we ask you to
trade in up on the second floor today-but you can
save enough in fifteen minutes time to pay you for a
day's discomfort and fifteen minutes is not long only
a quarter of an hour at most.
