NEWS FRO\I COlVCIL BI.UFFS Opening of the New Telephone Exchange in the Baldwin Block, MANAGER ATKINS HOLDS A LEVEE New Switch Board and Applinnces Said to Be the Best Enjoyed by Any Clty the Size of Counell Bluffs-Change Made Without Con fasion. A soclety event that excited more interest than any other during the week and in wider and more cosmopolitan circles, oc- curred at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, very business and professional man and all others in the city who use telephones had been notified, and a large number of handsomely printed invitations had been sent around inviting the receipients to be pres- The event was the opening of the new telephone exchange, or rather the doing away with the old “hello” system and the abandonment of the old quarters and the removal of the exchange to the handsome apartments on the sixth floor of the Bald- win block. Its social features were only enjoyed by the ladies and gentlemen who had responded to the Invitations and were present in the new building, but the inter- est fn the removal was shared by all users of the ‘phones. The new multiple switchboard and all the other new things that have been called for to complete the system at a cost of over $10,000 to the telephone company have been in process of arrangement for several weeks, and it was generally supposed that when the time of actual removal came there would be dire confusion and that every man who had any respect for his temper or regard for the welfare of his soul would keep away from his ‘phone while the actual removal was in progress at 5 o'clock. An hour be- fore there was a great rush of business at the old exchange, and every man who could think of anything he wanted to say over the wire was anxious to say it before the clock struck 5. And then there was & lull, and—the change was made, and nobody knew it. The operators stald at their places in front of the old board in the old building until 5 o'clock. Extra operators were at the new board, and the rooms were filled with ladies and gentlemen attending the “opening.” Manager Lane of the Omaha exchange assisted Manager Atkins in ex- plaining the mysterious simplicity _of the new system, and Miss Me- Clure and ~ Miss Duncan, chief operator, and her assistant of the Omaha exchange, were all present and gave the op- erators their final instructions. Mr. Hopf of the Western Electric company and Mr. Gwynne, galvanometer man of the Nebraska Telephone company, were also present. Only a few of those conected with the exchange and the operators knew when the change was made and the subtle current left the old quarters and took up fits permanent abode in the new, and while the visitors were waiting for something to signalize the event, vaguely expecting an explosion, a swish, a whirr or a roar ot some Kind, or at least a little flash, the operators at the board were pulling plugs and things, chatting in_inaudible tones and attending to their duties to telephone subscribers. The change had been made and none of the guests of the occasion had been made aware of it. The new board is less than one-half as bulky as the old, but it is many times larger, and its method of operating vastly more simple. It is in multiple, and each operator can instantly make connection be- tween anv two numbers on the board with- out the intervention of an assistant, the cause of so much vexatious delay under the old system. Manager® Lane of the Omaha exchange,, looking proudly over the new plant and congratulating Manager AtKins upon his new quarters, remarked: ‘‘There is no city in the world with the same sized exchange that has such a fine and perfect telephone plant, and the people of Council Bluffs ought to congratulate themselves and appreclate it." The location of the new office is certainly as fine as could be desired in every respect, both for the convenlence of the public and the operators. The public telephone is in- closed in double plate glass, giving the ut- most privacy. There is no more noise and confusion in the operating room than there Is at a Quaker prayer meeting, the an- swers to calls belng made In fones that could not be heard three feet away. The new board calls for an entire change in_manner of calling for connections with subscribers, and there will be some little difficulty and confusion until the people who use the 'phones become accustomed to the new rules. The principal thing necessary to insure good service is to promptly answer your telephone when it rings and not ring back when you are calledl. All that the person wanting to telephone will be re- quired to do is to give one ring, *nd that ring calls the central office. You then give the number you want, but do not ring again. The operator does that for you. Here are the rules that must be observed faithfully by the public if good service is to be ob- tained: First—To call, ent. give the crank one quick turn. Immediaiely put the hand telephone to your ear. When the operator inquires Number?” give the number of the par.y you want. ‘The operator will instantly connect the wires and ring your party for you. Keep the telephone to your ear.” The party you want will answer without your ringing. Second—When called do not ring back, but at once put the telephone to your ear and talk. Third—Always talking. . Fourth—Never ring your except to call central or disconnect. Fifth—Answer your bell promptly. You will only be rung’ twice, and. it ot do not answer,” calling party will be so informed, If the above rules are not followed satis~ factory service cannot be given.

The department encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which meets here the 19th, 20th and 21st of this month, promises to be one of the most interesting recently held. Judging from past experience, from 5,000 to 10,000 people will be here at least one of these days—the day of the parade. There are 700 delegates alone, comprising prominent men of all political parties in the state, and of all clvic societies, particularly Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythlas, The encampment will be held in Dohany's opera house, and the delegates and visitors will be quartered in hotels, and with private families. The restaurants and hotels will be taxed to thelr utmost to en- tertain these guests, especially as the Grand hotel is not likely to be open at that time. The citizens of Council Bluffs must open thelr houses to these guests and in every way seek to make their stay here pleasant. The good name of the city is at stake in the matter, and it should be looked to that the entertainment does not fall behind that accorded this influential body of citi- zens at former encampments, The Masons, 0dd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and other similar bodles ought to appoint reception committees to act with the citizens' commit- tee to properly recelve their visiting brothers. The public is reminded that the encamp- ment was invited to come by the manufac- turers club and by the city council, and not by Abe Lincoln post, so that the entertain- ment of the visitors' 1s & matter which the clty must look after, not expecting Abe Lin- coln post to take the lead in any matter per- taining to it. Houses should be decorated, particularly the business houses, as they have never been decorated before. Open the houses to the guests, make every effort possible to enter- Kkindly remembrances of their visit. It will pay to do this. Thousands of dollark will be left in the eity, and tne citizens can afford to be liberal In tue matter of providing suitable entertainment for the strangers who shall tarry within their gates, The encampment will never be here again.

Asked what his position in the matter was the governor said: I am not in a position to make any statement. As a citizen I earnestly hope the miners will win the strike. They de- serve more pay than they have been re- ceiving. 1 also hope the differences will be adjusted satisfactorily to both operators and miners. 1 hope that the laws will be re- spected and when the troubles end the miners can say tha they have won, which will be the case if they do not use violence."” Sherifft Mills went home and_endeavored, at the governor's advice, to collect a posse of fifty deputies to go to Shelburn to move the coal trains, The sheriff found great difficulty in securing men, and merchants and clerks set off for the woods to avoid service. The sympathy of the citizens was all on (he side of the miners. The governor at noon received a message from the sterift of Davies county stating that all hope of a settlement of the diffi- culty had been abandoned. The situation was growing more alarming, and he made a renewed request for troops, The adjutant general was ordered by the governor to call for nine companfes. Four of them are from Indianapoli A Gatling gun squad from this city was also ordered. The governor declined to announce the names of the companies. It was kept quiet to prevent an Interception of the soldiers while on the way. The adjutant general at once began arranging for a special train to carry the troops from here. The aggregate num- ber of soldiers is 460 men. The governor said this afternoon that he would order troops to Shelburn this after- noon. Not less than 200 men will be ordered to g0 there. They will be under the com- mand of Brigadier General M. G. McKee of Indianapolis. ~ Adjutant General Robbins will command the troops at Cannelsburg. Most attention has been given fo the companies going there, because of the seriousness of the situation, the distance to be traveled and the number of men going. The forces going to Cannelsburg and Shelburn, the governor says, may be more than is actually necessary. A large number is regarded as a protection in itself to the soldiers by con- trolling the strikers. WASHINGTON, Ind., June 2.—Five hun- dred men at Cannelburg, five miles east of here, have compelled conductors on the Bal- t'more & Southw.st rn to :idet-ack forty car- loads of coal in transit from Cincinnati to St. Louis. They have derailed three cars, upset one and torn up the track of the ewiteh track. Injunction papers were served, but no attention was paid to them. The sherift then telegraphed the governor for troops. The Cannelburg miners are aided by miners from this city and Mont- gomery. DEPUTIES ARE REINFORCED, When They Number One Thousand They ‘Will March on the Strikers. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 2. The city is in a very excited state over the prospects of an early battle between the miners at Bull Hill and the sheriff’s army now camped at Divide. Today 350 deputies left the city on street cars for Manitou, where they boarded a Midland train for the camp, and tonight 200 more went over the same route. This last reinforcement was accompanied by a corps of surgeons and enough supplies to last them several days. There are now 700 deputies at Divide. i The march against the miners’ camp will not be made until the number is increased to 1,000, The miners' union at Cripple Creek today issued a_ statement giving their side of the trouble between the miners and the mine owners, It recites that on January 1 there were forty-nine producing mines’ in the camp; that of these thirty-eight were work- ing elght-hour shifts, nine working nine and the remainder ten hours, all for $3 per day. The miners gave notice that on Janu- ary 28 they would demand uniform wages of $3 for a day of eight hours' work. This the operators refused to concede. The conference between Governor Waite and the mine owners will, in all probabllity, amount to nothing. The conference began at 3 o'clock this afternoon and reassembled tonight, and at this hour, 10:30 o'clock, is still in progress. Governor Waite demanded that all strikers should be granted immunity from prosecution for past acts, and there is no liklihood that the owners will consent to this proposition. John Calderwood, president of the Miners' union, is here, but sat in a separate room in the Colorado college, where the conference was held. While there Deputy United States Marshal ‘Wire approached” him and thrust a_document into Calderwood's hands, but neither would divulge its contents. It is believed the paper is a_citation from the federal courts, issued at the instance of the Raven Mining company. Citizens swarmed about the college building during both the afternoon and night sessions. The people did not harm Calderwood, but his arrest or worse was prevented only by police interference, The mine owners consented to pay the wages demanded by the strikers, but re- fused to employ any but union men. When informed of this Governor Waite sald “When the mine owners appoint a man to arbitrate, then 1 am ready to do so. I will not arbitrate with every lawyer in Colo- rado Spring: Sheriff Bowers served the governor with official notice calling for troops. Waite re- plied, shaking his fist: “If the mine owners want peace they can have it in five min- utes.” Coal Miners Arrested for Obstructing Traink. ST. JOSEPH, June 2.—Sheriff Carson and his deputies, accompanied by United States deputy marshals, recaptured the train stolen by the Richmond miners at Agency. When the posse reached Agency they found but a few of the men, the balance having de- serted when they heard the officers were coming. The deputies charged those who remained, when they broke into the timber and but five were captured. The remainder were chased over the country and a dozen were captured. Those captured were brought back to this city at 11 o'clock tonight and locked up in Jaill. Armed parties are scouring the woods around Agency and will bring in the entire sixty before the hunt ceases, Critical Time at Leavenworth, LEAVENWORTH, Kan.,, June 2. marks the crisis in the miners’ strike. Chief McGregor of the Missourl miners’ unlon returned here this morning and was met by 300 local miners, who paraded the streets with brass bands. Five hundred deputies and business men and police are under ns. No attempt has yet been made to arrest McGregor. A conference will be held this evening between miners and a citizens' committee. The strike has been settled peaceably. The conference between the miners and business men this evening resulted in & victory for the Today lHI[}H FEES N THESE HARD TINES The beat medical service in this “hard e should not cost mor ople are able to pay Chis is the stand that Die, Copeland and Shepard take.
