KM'CTIUCirY VH STEAM , An Eleelrlo Motor to Tnke the 1'lnco of Hi on in I'owor. The Midland Electric company' have put in an electric motor at the McBride \ Ryan job printing establishment , at 1510 Dodge street , which bids faire \ do away with a large number of stationery steam engines in thiscitv and surround ing cities where there 'is an electric light plant. Tills little electric motor is the most compact affair in uso. It can bo placed entirely out of the way , needs no oiling , and is neal , clean and simple. Bui the one great feature of the engine is lhat its operation costs about 40 per com of Iho money necessary to run a steam engine o'f equal power. There are several kinds of these motor. " , and all claim to be the best , but the Baxter , for which Ihe Midland Electric company are solo agonls for Omaha and Nebraska , is as perfect a machine as can well bo made. The one in use now is only a onc-liorso power , the electricity being supplied bi lbo Thompson , Houston Electric Light company , through ono of their circuits , running three medium si/oil job printing presses wilh perfect ease , and could run two more just as easily as the electric light folks have no day circuit at present. The motor is only in operation from 4 p. in. to 10 p. in. , but it is understood thai as soon us a sulllcienl number of the motors can bo placed a day circuit will bo put up. Two of these motors were used for hoist ing stone at the htato capital building in Topcda. Kan. , at a rental of $10 per month. With a steam engine thin & 1 ( ) would not have paid the fireman , to say nothing of coal and other expenses. 1IAYDE.V HUGS. Colored Drnss Gomls. Just received , 150 pieces !
