have a cai.uclty o { 1,000 horse power.
Th power will b > > distributed directly by

AccJidlng toMr. . Shlllluglaw too Armouis
will save fully 50 per cent of the tunning
expenses of the establishment with the elec

means a caving of an equivalent amount In

others now miming with steam. Finally
the dust , grime and grease thrown off by
running belts and shafting will be missed

the rstdbli hment Is opened It will be the
model plant of the worlds
The plant will be lighted by clcctrlcHj ,
the power being secured from the sumo cen-
trul electrical station , but from apparatus
separated completely from that which runs
the machinery. It will bo distributed
through some 0,000 Incandescent lights and
JOO arc lights. The lamps li'ivo been se-
cmi'd from the Thomson-Houston company

To distribute this power It Is estimated
tint In Uio nelghboihood of 1,000,000 feet of
wlro will be n-eded. This Is of the best
quality und will therefore flgute largely In
f'u etpunse. It will be of such a sl/o as to
carry CO per cent more power than will be
ut llrst used.
The wiring will bo put In In the safest
nnd meat approved manner. The Insulators
will be of glass about an Inch nnd u half long
nrd an Inch in diameter There will be other
glass knobs , nt Intervals , so-that the wires
will touch the walls In no place. The switch ,
bonds will be of the latest pattern and will
also be competoly Insulated. There are
irai'j other safety devices. There will be
automatic circuit bieakcm on the motors ,
which will cut off the uincnt If the motors
become clogged and ovorbuidcncd. More
over , the switching system will bo BO ar-
tanged that If ono of the motors gets out of
rt-pilr It can be cut out entirely and the rest
can keep on running. In an establishment
run by steam It often happens that If a piece
of the power machinery gets out of order a
Kcoil part of the cfit-ibllahmeat must shut
down.

An infallible cure for nil weakness and dis.

Dr. Tierce's 1'avorlle Prescription. It acts
directly and only on these organs. It pre
pares the maid for wifehood and the wife
for motherhood. It docs away with the
usual discomforts of the period preceding
motherhood , It insures a healthy baby and
makes parturition easy and comparatively

Omaha's postolllco department wants to
move Into the new pcstoince In the latter
part of next January or the early part of j
February. The other federal departments i
and ofllclals desire to bo In the- new struc
ture ot least by the opening of the exposi
tion * , June t. Congressman IMercer has taken
upon himself the part of the godfather to
fulfill these wishes , nnd past pxparlenco
teaches that what Da\c Mercer goes after
In Washington he usually gets. Hmployes
In the postolllce arc therefore firmly of the
opinion that they will get out of their pres
ent cramped quarters early In the coming
year and the other iieople In the federal
building are as cocksure that they will be on
dress parade when the visitors flock In to
sou the big nliow ,
Congressman Mercer has assured Assistant
Postmaster Woodard that the thing would
be done If wotk on his part could bring It
about. These two and Superintendent
Latenser held a conference on the matter In
the postmaster's olllce. They went o\or
the situation and came to the conclusion
that It could bo brought about If the govern
ment at Washington could bo brought to see
It In the right way and could bo Induced to
get a little lastle on Itself.
Assistant Postmaster Woodard called In. .
the assistance of the congressman , because
under the present plans none of the federal
departments could expect to mo\e Into the
new building until the end of July , two
months after the opening of the exposition.
Ily a llttlo acceleration the postolllce quar
tern In the new building could bo gotten
ready for occupancy in two months at least ,
but the postmaster general has declared that
he did not desire to 1ic.o the moxlng take
place until the building was complete In
o\ery detail.
The pofitolllco part of the new building will
bo completed by the middle of next month
This poirloit will thus be ready for occupancy
with the exception of the furniture- that
time. As soon as the furniture Is In the
postoffico can mo\o Into itho new quarters i
Assistant Pcstmaster Woodard docs not BCD
why the furniture could not b secured and I
placed at once and Congressman Mercer has '
the same falling of vision. Ills Hist effort , i
therefore , will bo to Induce the secretary of
thti treasury to advertise for bids for
tbo furniture Immediately. The specifica
tions are all drawn up and rc ready for pub
lication. Within a short time after the
awarding of tbe contract the furniture can
b" secured and put In. All this can easily bo
done by ithu latter part ot Januarj or the early
part of Febtuary
After the middle of next montii tno only
part of the now building that will remain Incomplete -
complete- will be the upp'r stories. They
must bo plastered and finished. Under the
present governmental plans llils will not be
done umll the latter part of July. If the
contract were awarded at ouco and work was
commenced immediately the Job could be
completed easily before Juno 1 , the opening
clay of the exposition It will thcieforo be
the second purpose of Congressman Mercer to
have the contracts for the finishing of the
upper stories of the building awarded as soon
as possible. Ho thinks that he can feeiire
both his ends with a llttlo work. Ifc will go
to Washington In a few days to oeglti opera
tions.
Under the terms of the contract the side
walks and the sodding about the new building
must bo completely laid by today. These
terms will be missed by a hair's breadth In
three dajs more , If tliu weather continues
good , the work will bo fully completed , as
there Is but little more to be done. The
woik has occupied nlnet > days.

According to the figures Just compiled by
the Union Slocki Yirds company business nt
that point continues to show most grntlfylns
galny over a > ear ogo. During the month
of October there was a caln In the arrivals
as compared with the corresponding month
of last jcnr of 25,372 cattle , 10,178 hogs and
17,269 sheep. During the same time Kan
sas City gained 13,710 hogs and 11,191 sheep ,
but there wvs a decrease of 24,375 cattle.
Chicago made a gain of 4,025 , but suffered a
decrease ot 48,708 hogs and 3(1,008 ( sheep. It
will be observed that Omaha's gain of 25,372
was about the same as the decrease at Kan
sas City , which would look very much as It
Omaha had been getting some of the cattle
that formerly went to Kansas City.
The examination of the books of the Stock
Yards company reveals the fact that the
phenomenal Increase In cattle receipts ,
amounting to 213,221 head for the ten months
of the year already passed Is due In very
large pait to shipments from the tango coun
try. Montana especially has shipped more
cattle than ever to this market and Wyo
ming has been i heavy contributor. Quite a
good many of these cattle formerly went to
Chicago and the receipts at that market for
the year to date show a decrease of 51,722.

The frequency of accidents at or near the
foot of N stre't has again called the atten
tion of the city officials to the need ot a brl l e
across the railroad tracks at that point. This
matter has been brought up a number of
times within the last few jears , but foi oumc
reason has alwa > s been dropped before anj
definite action was itaken. The question of
the city being able to compel the lallroad
companies to contribute toward the election
of such a structure has alwajs been the
stumbling block. Some time ago Major Kn-
ser and a number of the councllmuu Investi
gated the master , and at that time It was the
opinion of the attorneys consulted that the
city could not compel the railroads to build
thu brldg ? . Within the last wo ) c the m.it-er
has been looked into agnin and the opm on
seems to prevail that the city can compel the
stock jards company to erect and maintain
the bridge. That such a bridge is nee led no
one doubts , but how to obtain the structuiu
without , bonding the city for a laigo Mini is
the question which is puzzling the heads of
the city authorities.
The major favors a neat btcel structure.
He docs not bay that a .yjgcn bridge is a
necessity , although it would bo a gr3at con-
\enience. A well built foot bridge would be
satisfactory to olllclals of the citj and this ,
It Is claimed , would answer the present needs ,
lu this connection the major has instructed
the city attoiney to Investigate the legal
questions Involved aud upon this report will
depend what action , If any , Is Uo be taken.
Ono councilman bajs he wonders that more
persons are not killed at that crossing , es
pecially during the early morning and In the
caning , when hundreds of men employed at
the pocking houses arc going to and coming
from work. It Is thought now that the neces
sary action can bo taken this winter so that
the stock jnrds company will l > compelled to
build the brldi'p < the Spring.

Now that bids for a sewer district 'from ' D

two-n Twenty-fourth and Twentj-IlS.h btrcets
are being iccuUed by the city clerk the resi
dents along these two streets between A and
O streets are anxious for a bower. An at
tempt Is to be made to have the council re
consider lib action in creating a dlstilct be
tween D and II streets and substitute an or
dinance creating a district from A to II
streets. The objection to such action Is that
it would delay the work on the dlbtrlot al
ready created at least twenty-five days. Thib
the residents would object to , as by the tlmo
the second bids wro received It would most
likely be too cold for outside work. In case
the attempt to have the dlbtrlct already cre
ated reorganized , taking in the four blocks
north ot O street , thu r bldents In that terri
tory will endeavor to have a special district
created for thorn. There is not , as far as
known , any objection to uhls method of pro
cedure. One of the residents ot n stleet
called at the office of the city clerk yesterday
aftcinoon and obtained blank petitions. He
Bald that he would at once pass' ' the petition
around among 'tho property owners and en
deavor to have it ready by the next meeting of
the city council It is claimed a difficulty about
obtaining signatures In this proposed district
will bo that many of the owners of property
hence it Is feared

that not enough signers can bo obtained.
