Great NEW LAMPS OF HIGH POWER Each Oaa Twulf Times aa Ilrlght a Ordinary Are and Furnishes . tha Latest Kind of Itadienrr. At 7 o'clock tonight the r.ew street light will ba turned on and Broadway from Oia MethodJet church to the North western station and I'tarl and Main street for their entlra length will be transformed. Into "great white ways," the first example of modern city lighting hers Willi tho most approved apparatus that electrical science ha produced up to tha present moment. Two of tho 1,000 eandle power flaming arc light w)U burst Into brilliancy In every block on the street named, with the exception of South Main atreet below the liurllngion station, where but one will be used to tho block. When Manager EngllRh announced the consummation of tha long-worked-for hope ha aounded a word of cuutlon, Bomo of tha lamps may stick a little, and mechanical defects of Inntallatlon may develop, but wo will have a force of expert on the Job temcdylng each as It develops. It may be even several night before we get all of the kinks out and bring tha light up to thlr full efficiency. The work la been as skill fully done It la possible to do It, but the great amount of cable put under ground make It quit probablo that some defect will be disclosed. It theio are none at all It will simply show Unit the character of the work has been faultless aa w all tried to have it." Tncalr-lns .Neve Lamps. There will be twenty-two of the (laming arcs on bioadway and the reinamuer will be on Pearl and Mouth Main streets, r'our of the lamps on liroauwjy have not been placed for tint reason that poles are in the way. They are located ai the corner of liroadway ana Main and at Seventh, Eighth and Ninth sueris. Man ager Englisu endeavored to overcome the obstacles at these points by swinging the lamp on tha telegraph and telephone pules that occupy the sites and teed them from tho regular arc Imi.t circuit, but aa theta circuits are aes gnrd to supply . and tha flaming arc ueo lo t amphures of lower voltage, It waa iifcensary to place a reparato transformer on en eh. of the poles. Manager Kngllnh ordered these oarly In the struggle and they were shipped from the factory at I'lttHfleld, Maes., on October M, but so far have failed to show up, although material ordered since ha been received. Until then transformers arrive the lamp on theee pole cannot be lighted. Tho giant lamps will burn the Blemen yellaw caroona, which give tha soft rad.iV ancs so much desired end 'whloh al the same time ha a much greater diffusive power. These carbons are fourteen Inches long and sevsn-elghths of an Inuh In dia meter, They are expected to burn 100 hours, but Manager English sald last night that ha would ba satisfied If they gave seventy hours', service. ' ' ' Mark Mora Light. Tha total cost to the company for the Installation of tha new service ha ex ceeded $U,000. Each of tha How lamp will give about twenty time as much Illumination as tha old style arcs. They will give an Illumination on the streets covered equal to about R00 of the former area, and the entire Increase of cost to the city will be U-hs than Il.to) per year. It would havecost nearly $JO,000 a year and $15,000 for Installation of thu pedestal lurandrscents which local bual nee men were asked to provide at the beginning of the campaign for a modern lighting system- Onion Sets Lead to an Indictment Alderman Jamea I, lillsworth of h.

We believe that the provision of our present child labor law. which r.,ri.i.i. any child under the an of It years, from ""''"i i gumiui occupation during inn iiiub wnen ine schools are not In evasion, Is baneful in Its effects, because It forces the child, during vacations, to a life of Idleness on the street and in the alley.

We commend all attempt of whatever character to give the fullest measure of assistance to the child who varies from the normal, for we believe that the schools are not for the purpo"o of elim inating -the unrortunete and the atypical and permitting only tho scholar to nur. vlve, but for the purpose of bringing to every individual the maximum amount o educational training he la capable of receiving, nespec.ruiiy aumbltted, W.

AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA Recall Petition Against Administra tion is Harmed. THREE DISTURBING FACTORS One Movement Rased on Alleg-ed Defect In Law Extending- Term of Present City Admlnlatra. Hon In "oath Omaha- Those whd believed that the defeat of annexation would bring quiet and peaca to the turbulent spirit of the Magic city were disillusioned yesterday when It was learned that ft recall petition wa to be circulated for the ouster of the city ad ministration. One of the principals In the movement Is an annexationist and the other Is ft man who claim to have been the subject of unmerited mud sllngrng during; th campaign just closed. Another movement said to have origin. In Omaha Is based on an alleged defect In the law extending the terms of tha present city officials. It Is sold that at torneys are working on the cas and will take the matter into court. The third cloud upon the political horizon Is the maturing of the threat made by the annexationists to deprlva South Omaha of tho convenience of the local deputy treasurershlp. According to those. who are behind tha movement, tha law does not warrant the maintenance of a deputy treasurer here. This argu ment has not met with ft great deal of favor among the people of the city who have enjoyed the convenience of the local office for some time. The long trip to Omaha for the payment of taxes 1 not looked upon with favor by the taxpayer. Those interested In the recall petition say that they are not anxious to have tho proposition come to maturity before) next April, at which time the fight against the extension of the terms ot office will be made. Some ai the 'city officials when they learned of the new movement expressed their disapprobation In terms mora graphic than polite. They say that much of tho trouble charged to the administra tion is due to continual agitation. South Omaba Hoveling; Score. EAGLES. Int.
