summer. And right here is the , " i , a
. 6 I Harvey of the Nebraska Gas and
place with as big a variety to' Electric company and Joseph Smith.
one of the engineers of the company
were here for a short time to meet
with the members of the commer
cial club to discuss informally the
differences that have arisen over
the light question in this city dur
ing the past month. Vnfortunately
as it was pay day at the Burlington
-hops. a large number of the mer
chants and business men were un
able to get away to attend the meet
ing as had been hoped for but to
those present Mr. -Harvey gave a
short outline of the projected
changes that it is hoped will give
I'lattsmouth a better system and
one that can be depended upon in
case of a break down of the line of
transmission between this city and
Omaha.
Mr. Harvey, who was the spokes
man of the lighting company, stat
ed that the engine and generator to
be used in the plant in this city
had been ordered from the Choose
factory at Mattoon. Illinois, and
should be loaded and ready for ship
ment in a few days at least. This
engine and generator are new and
fully capable Mr. Harvey stated of
carrying the load of the city and
others whih might be placed upon
it in case of emergency. One of the
chief engineers of the light com
pany. Mr. Brooks, was here yester
day and went over the plant in thic
city with Superintendent Kuvken
dail. ranking the necessary plans for
the installing of the engine and
generator, and supervising the over
hauling of the boilers which Mr.
Harvey stated were in excellent
shape and with some slight repairs
would be ready for service and
were ample to carry the load that
would be demanded by the new ma
chinery. The details of the install
ing of the machinery in the plant
here has been turned over by the
Omaha officials to Mr. Kuykendall
who will see that the machinery i
MEETS WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT
From Wednesday's Dally.
Edward Fitzgerald is in the city
enjoying a short visit here with his
daughter Miss Opal Fitzgerald and
looking after some business matters
before returning to his ranch in the
western portion of the state. Mr.
Fitzgerald is wearing his head
bandaged up as the result of a rath
er serious accident that he exper
ienced at the stock yards in Omaha
Monday afternoon. Mr. Fitzgerald
had brought six cars of cattle from
the ranch to Omaha and after hav
ing them unloaded was looking over
the. stork yards when ho had the
in isi'ori wr.e to fa'l from a narrow
plaiii; wall: over one of the feeding
pens to tin- ground a distance of
sr.nie ten feet r.nd as a result he
fell in such a manner as to severely
lacerate one of his ears as well as
bruise him up considerably. The
injured ear was dressed and is
getting along as well as could be
expected but is still quite painful.
placed In the plant as coon as it is
possible to have it delivered from
the factory.
Mr. Harvey discussed at some
lenglh the f-itiiatkui in regard to
(he installing of a large supply sta
tion at some point on their lines in
N'ebraska for the supplying of cur
rent, for the different transmission
lines that they control. The Ne
braska gas and power company have
lines reaching west as far as Fuller
ton and southwest into Hamilton
and York counties, north as far as
N'crfolk and south to this county,
and Mr. Harvey stated that the ex
acr location of the plant had not
been determined at this time as the
plans for the plant were still under
discussion and action on them would
not be taken for some time. This
proposition will be taken up at a
meeting of the stockholders of the
company in Cleveland, Ohio, during
the coming month and discHssed.
but it is probable that no definite
action will be taken for this year at
least. To establish a plant of the
size and cost of that planned by the
Nebraska gas and electric company,
it wil be necessary. Mr. Harvey
stated, to develop to a high degree
the efficiency of the transmission
lines as well as to increase the num
ber of consumers of electric current
so that when the plant was install
ed it would be possible to place up
on it a load that would give a reas
onable rt-turn upon the investment
made. The cost of a plant as pro
jected by the Nebraska gas and
electric company would be in the
neighborhood of $.",.00f.000 or $4.
000.000. and the investors would
have to be assured of a sufficient
patronage for their current to make
the erection of the plant an object
and this is undoubtedly as Mr. Har
vey expresse i it. that it will require
some little time to develop Nebraska
electrically so that it can handle the
output of power from a plant of this
sixe.
Mr. Harvey suggested that the
city present to the company a num
ber of the points of advantage of
this city in the way of transporta
tion facilities and other money sav
ing facilities that would be of use
to the directors of the corporation
in making their choice of a location
for their new plant when they de
cide upon it.

The teachers are a hard-working,

Miss Hedil's presentation of pri
mary reading is especially forceful,
and the teachers are becoming mos"1.
enthusiastic over her many prac
tical suggestions.
Mrs. Wescott gave ihe leathers
oonie good suggest ions this morning
as to what songs are good to teach
children, and the sources from which
they may be obtained.

Mr. P.rown. in his last talk yes
terday, made a special plea for the
use of correct and pure English and
the careful avoidance of slang and
too-popular expressions, saying even
though the slang ef today becomes
the classic of tomorrow it is the part
of public school teachers to speak
and write in the classic English of
today.
Mr. Guy Davis, of the University
