THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, DOUBLE ITS MAIN BUILDING [EVROPEANS ARE IN EARNEST| AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA [REDUCTION New Place of Telephone Company te Becure Needed Floor Bpace. HEADQUARTERS ARE TO BE ENLARGED for Branch doned, but Made xehange Not Aban- Main Wil Be Twice Present Capnelty. Within the next thirty days the Ne- braska - Telephone company will break ground for the erection of another three- story brick bullding, adjoining on the west the company’s present headquarters at the corner of Bighteenth and Douglas streets The bullding Is necessary in order to admit of a larger operating room, new and im- proved switchboard and other apparatus to accommodate growing business. The structure, which will be almost a counter- part of the one now in use, will cost ap- proximately $100,000 and must be finished by the end of the present year An officer of the company had this to say of the proposed improvement: “T. C. Ford of Boston, chief englneer of the American Bell Telephone company, has been here looking over the situation and has given ue advice upon which we shall probably act. For several years the Nebraska Tele- phone company has been confronted by the probiem of how to extend its present plant o the best advantage, and it presented many difculties. The plan was to bufld two stories on top of our present building; that was the cheapest way of getting the necessary room, but there were objections to it. The noise and dirt would impair our wresent svetem and our 4,700 Omaha sub- scribers had (o be protected. “Then we thought of bullding a separate and detached building, sixty-six feet west of the present bullding, on land recently acquired by the company, but that also has been abandoned. Our present plan is to erect a three-story brick bullding, 68x66 feet, adjoining the present building on the west and fronting on Douglas street. Be- tween the two structures there will be an areaway running three-quarters of the .way back to the alley and the bulldings wiil probably be connected by a bridge at about the third story. This will enable us to put in our new switchboard and other apparatus without interfering with the operation of the present one. It will also leave us the lot, 66x132 feet, adjolning the proposed ajte on the west, to be used for outdoor storaj “The two lower floors of the proposed buflding will be used for storage, manutac- ture and shop rooms, and the third story will be usad for operating. “This bullding has nothing to do with the branch exchange which the company proposes erecting somewhere n the western part of the oity. The bullding of the branch is still under contemplation.” Nobles of Tangler Temple. Made final arrangements for the pil- grimage to San Francisco on Friday even- ing, May 23, selecting the Union Pacific as the OFFICIAL ROUTE, thus disposing of all misleading statements on this point. In making this selection the following facts were borne in mind, namely: The Union Pacific s the only line running through tralns via Denver and Salt Lake to Californla; that it is 278 miles shorter to San Francisco, and 16 hours quicker than aay other line, and that, as less time is consumed via this route, there are fewer incidental expen: n the trip. Nearly all of the prominent eastern Tem- ples will pass through Omaha over the Union Pacific. Full information cheerfully furnished and reservations made on application to City Ticket Office, 1324 Farnam street.

Savants of the Old World capitals have chosen it as a theme for treatises; emigra- tion agents see (n it a chance for lucrative speculation, while in the eagerness with which some of the women seize this bubble there 1s something almost pitiful.- Some of the newspapers treat it seriously, others satirically. It has moved the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin to call Nebraska a “lpve drunk community,” and a paper in Constantinople to say that this dearth of women is at the bottom of the American antipathy to polygamy.

FLOWERS FOR SAILOR ' DEAD Women of Cuaster Reliet Corps Re- member Those Whe Died at Sea. An inspirimg Subject for a poem might be found in the work .done by a committee from the Woman's Rellet Corps of Custer post on Memorial day. It had been' re- marked at the meeting of the corps that,) while the graves of dead soldiers are dec- crated with flowers each year, the hundreds of equally heroie sallors, who died in thelr country's honor, receive no #éuch tender recognition. Simce the bodles of a great majority of these lie at the bottom of the sea, the problem présented difficulties that seemed almost insurmountable. During the discussion ope of the members suggested a plan, 8 Iluded to the cus- tom of the Hindoo maldens of golng at night and sending leaf-lamps afloat on the ' tide of the river Ganges and praying while the lamps remained alight. It was declded to act upon this hint. Several large baskets were laden with fresh. cut flowers . and turned over to a committee. At noon on Memorial day these blossoms, in their wicker caskets, were cast upon the turgld bosom of the Missouri and the committee watched them and prayed as they danced down the eddies toward the sea where the dead sallors lle.

Te. 116 xt Ohicago Strike Not Likely to Affect the Looal Packers. MAGIC CITY LABOR WELL SATISFIED Men Not Inclined to Go Out om pathy Strike Nor Quit Work Esxeept for Good Reasons, The teamsters' strike in Chicago, which from press reports appears to be tylng up the meat handling trade, does not appear in the least to worry the packers in South Omaba. As a general thing the packers have contracts with local transfer compa- nies for the handling of their products and therefore they say they have no interest in the affairs of the teamsters now going on In Chicago. It is true that each packing house maintains three or four wagons of its own, but it is not understood that the teamsters are in any manner inclined to go out on a sympathetic strike. In fact it is stated by persons in a position to know that the teamsters here are better pald than In most citles. There was a report from Chicago yes- terday to the effect that unless a settle- ment of some sort was made by Monday assistance from the western packing houses would be requested. Very few laboring men appear to know anything about the alleged request and at the present time there does not seem to be any Inclination on the part of the employes of the stockyards or the packing houses to make any demands at this time. A large proportion of packing house employes here are owners of homes or are buying them and these sav that something serious must occur before they will go on a strike. Shippers to this market appear to be well satiefied with the prices pald and the man- ner in which stock is handled and a number at the’ Exchange yesterday expressed the ooinion that the affairs of the Chicago Stock Yards company would not affect business here. Veteran Pastors. In the last fssue of the Presbyterian Ed- itor Merrill calls attention to the fact that three of the pastors of South Omaha churches are veterans of the civil war and also members of the Grand Army of the Republic. These pastors are: Rev. M. A. Head of the First Methodist church, Rev. Arthur Renwick of the United Presbyterian cturch and Rev. L. Lane of the First Chris- tian church. All of these veterans particl- vated in Memorial day services. Children’s Entertainment. A children's entertainment will be given at the troop armory on Monday and Tues- day evenings of this week under the aus- pices of St. Martin's gulld. Rehearsals have been golng on for some time and the chil- dren who are to take part are showing a great deal of interest. There will be a May nole dance. a sallors’ drill, minuet and rf drill and some good music. It was reported yesterday that the sale of tickets had already beem quite large. Placing Equipment. A number of carpenters are now at work placing saddle hooks and other belongings of the cavalry in the troop armory and within a few days the equipment will be all located 80 as to be handy for the troopers. What will not be needed at the present time will be packed and placed in storage in a room In the basemént of the city hall building. The racks for the carbines will be forthcoming within the mext week or so. Monday Evening Recital. On Monday evening Miss Ellsworth will give a recital at the First Methodist Epis- copal church, In this she will be assisted by the advanced puplls in her class and by Mrs. H. D. Andréws, Herbert Elllott, Wal- ter Dale and Miss May Lovely. It is re- quested that children who attend be ac- companied by their parents. Bids Opened Monday. On Monday night the council will open bids for the repalr of No. 2 fire hall. The insurance company has agreed, as per the terms of arbitration, to pay $824 for the remodeling of the bullding. It will be necessary therefore for bidders to con- fine themselves within this limit. There is & demand for the immediate reconstruc- tion of this fire hall, as now & portion of the city is left practically unprotected. Representatives of Insurance companies visited the Jetter brewery yesterday to view the pile of burning embers. An effort will be made to have the insurance ad- Justed soon as possible in order that reconstruction may be commenced. B. Jetter, as soon as he arrives home, will direct that the stables be replaced at once. Brick will be used in the comstruction. Nothing definite has been determined about the rebullding of the cooper shop, but this will come probably at the same time the rebullt. Of the amount of I about 1,800 tons will be and the insurance companies will permit this to be moved in out of the sun at once in order to prevent further loss. Two of the insurance policies carried by the Jetter company on the burned bulldings expire on June 1 and another on June 3. Arrange- ments had, however, been made to repew the policies. New Parking Scheme. Since the property owners started the movement to park Twenty-third street as far south as J street the owners of real estate on Twenty-second street have taken up the matter and mow they want their street parked from F street on the north to L street on the south. A petition sigued by a majority of property owners request- ing for the change of the curb lines, etc., must be made before the ordinance can be signed Ly the mayor. Too Grea: a Risk. In almost every nelghborhood someone bas died from au attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or & physiclan summoned. A Te- liable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlal Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has un- doubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than apy other medicioe In ws It can always be depended upon. A New Fast Train, Chicago to New York. Commencing Sunday, June 15, the pletur- esque Erie railroad will run a solld vesti- buled train, comprising Pullman sleepers, standard coaches and dining cars, leaving Chicago dally at 10:30 a. m., arriving New York next afternoon at 3:30, also carrylng (hrough sleepers to Albany and Boston. This train will be known as the “Sea Side Limited” and no excess fare will be charged. For full particulars, see any ticket agent.

IN THE ARMY Order Decreasing Strength to 66,497, 1 A by Secre- tary Root. WASHINGTON, Jun 1.~By direcion of the president, Secretary Root has issued & general order decreasing the strength of our permanent military establishment and changing the ratlo of its makeup as pro- vided In the general order lssued last May to carry out the army reorganization law. Under the general order of last May the total strength of the army was fixed at 77,287 men. The order lssued today re- duces this figure to 66,497—a reduction of 10,790, In the cavalry branch of the service the old order specified twelve troops of eighty- five men each to a regiment; the mew or- der establishes twelve troops of seventy- five men each. This will decrease the total strength of the fifteen cavalry regiments from 15,840 to 14,040. In the artillery branch the coast con- tingent will be kept at its former strength of 126 companies of 109 enlisted men each, or a total of 13,734, but the fleld artillery will be reduced from thirtv batteries of 160 men each to twenty-eight batteries (twenty-five light and three mounted) of 120 men each. Provision is made in the new order for two slege batterles, each with a strength of 160 men, which, in addition to the light and mounted batteries, will give the ar- tillery corps a total enlisted strength of 17,742, as against the 18,862 men provided in the former order. The new order re- duces the number of men in Infantry com- panies from 104 to eighty, and our thirty regiments of twelve companies each will now give a total infantry force of 29,880, instead of 38,620. The strength of the en- gineer branch remalns formerly, as does also the strength of the staff department It will be the plan of the War depart- ment hereafter to divide the army, as pro- vided in the order issued today, into third: having one-third of the entire establish- ment in the Philippines at all times and the remalning two-thirds in the United States and elsewhere. By this plan an enlisted man, taking six years a basis, would serve four yeurs in the United States proper, or in Hawall or in Alaska, to every served in the Philippines. WASHINGTON, June 1.—The president yesterday sent the following nomination to the senate: Army—Colonels, to be brigadier general Samuel M. Whiteside and Sumner H. Lin- coln. Infantry—Lfeutenant colonels, to be colonels: Willlam Quinten and Jesse O. Chance. Majors to be lleutenant colonels: Ralph W. Hoyt and George H. Cornish. Captains to be made majors: Charles If. Bonesteel, Lyman W. V. Kenne, Willlam Lassiter, Charles G. Morton. First lleu- tenants, to be captains: George F. Baltzell, Edgar T. Collins, Seaborn G. Chiles and Lyman W. Welch; and also George W. Bibee, recelver of public moneys at Ore- gon City, Ore. TO BUY POLICE PROTECTION Confidence Men Disclose Overtures Made 10 Them by City officials, MINNEAPOLIS, June 1.—The first of the police bribery cases was taken up in the district court yesterday. Irving A. Gardner, special inspector, 1 charged with having received a bribe of $500 from confidence op- erators, guaranteeing in return police pro- tection. Willlam Edwards testified that Gardner had demanded of bim $1,000, which Gardner sald was to go to Mayor Ames and for which the confidence man was to operate unmolested for tén “fonths. In addition, Edwards testified they were to pay Gard- ner $50 a week and’ the same amount to De- tective Norbeck, Who fs slso under indict- ment. Edwarde and his aseociate, Link Cross- man, and the witnesd finally compromised on $500. They were to have ten “steer- ers” and agreed not to swindle any Min- neapolia or St. Paul m They were also to prevent any victim, from complaining at headquarters. were to furnish lists of their men, so that the police should not molest ‘protected swindlers.” It was established by the evidence of the mayor's secretary that Gardner had been appointed special detsctive. WASHITA RIVER IS RAMPANT Rises Sixteen Feet Three Hours, Overflowing Large Area of Ground. ANADARKO, Okl, June 1.—In three hours last night the Washita river at this point rose nearly ‘sixteen feet, carrying dozens of tents and outbulldings on the lowlands and flooding the town to a depth of four feet or more. People in the bot- toms had barely time to escape to high ground and a number were forced to climb trees. Boats were secured and several people in perilous positions were rescued, one woman with a $-week-old baby being taken from the branches of a tree. It is belleved no lives were lost, though many people are homeless. Today the water is receding. The flood is the worst in twenty y The river north of Ana- darko is a mile wide and is overfiowing, destroying crops. Ofe mile of track on the Rock Island road was washed out and the Presbyterian Indian mission grounds and the government Indian school and farm are under water. DEATH RECORD. ‘William R.

GOVERNOR 0'DELL THE GUEST Informal Reception for New York's Exeou- tive Held at Omaha Olub, SEEKING REST AND PLEASURE SOLELY Trip Across Continent, Made to Es- cape Worry of Polities at Home, & Source of Contin Delight. For three and a half hours Saturday aft- ernoon Benjamin B. Odell, jr., governor of New York, was in Omaha and entertained at the Omaha club by Horace G. Burt, president of the Union Pacific railroad, who presented a number of prominent Ne- braskans who called in a somewhat in- formal way. With the governor were his wite, his father, now 77 years oid; his mother, his sister, Miss Odell; Senator T. E. Ellsworth, president pro tem of the New York state senate, and H. K. Bird, the governor's secretary, who s known at Albany as the “officlal Lureau for the sup- pression of informatlon.” Been Busy for a Month. The party left New York om April 20, went to Atlanta and New Orleans, then over the Southern Pacific to Californla, where the governor spent some time in roaming about from Los Angeles to Santa Barba from Monterey to 'Frisco and through the Yosemite valley. The arrival here over the Union Pacific was at 4:30 and they left at 7:55 to go to St. Paul and then to Montreal over the Canadian Pacific, reaching Albany June 4. President Burt telegraphed the governor an Invitation to stop here early yesterday morning and the invitation was promptly accepted, because, as the governor said, “this Nebraska town is worth visiting, not only because of its early history, but because of its probable future.” Mrs. Burt took Mrs, Odeli for a drive, but the governor went directly to the club and was there until 6 o’clock, when he returned to his car. There was, of course, no time for dinmer or speeches after the reception. It there had been the governor probably would have stayed at his car, for he is trylng to make this trip as much of a recreation and rest cure as the tour of the executive of so great a state could be. Just Out for Pleasure. “I am out for a pleasure ride, nothing more,” he sald. “I am glad to meet peo- ple, but let no man say politics to me. My principal business just mow is to forget politics and I wish to talk of the other matters—just anything that is diverting and worth while. “It T were to make & speech tonight it wouldn't .be about the prospects of my re- nomination nor about the effect of the con- fusion in Tammany incident to the retire- ment of Mr. Nixon, but it would be about the folly of those people who go to Europe to spend their vacations. This trip leaves me wondering why they do it. I have en- countered in six weeks’ travel all the vari- etles of climate that can be on this con- tracted globe, scenery to match anything that can possibly exist in Switzerland; more baths than a man could try if he took five a day for a month; the people—well, T even found some kinds that we haven't in New York. When I get back to my state I am going to preach the mew south and stalwart west. There are eyes to be opened there to the possibilities of the one and the progress of the other. Both were far beyond my greatest expectations. Very Enthusiastic All Way. Other members of the party who heard the governor speaking sald, with smiles: “He has been just that enthuslastic for two weeks. Everywhere he has found some- thing more to wonder over and to pra His friends at home will have their cre- dulity taxed, for he is quite carried away by what he has learned—not bear stories, but statistics and discoveries of his own. Everywhere we have stopped he has been a veritable interrogation point, asking prominent people all manner of questions about the various industries and the his- tory of their respective localities. “‘As for his political prospects, they are not worrylng him at all. In his message he took a firm stand for such development of the other sources of the state's revenue as would eliminate altogether the direct tax, for state purposes, on real estate and personal property and he expects the people to be with him. Lewis Nixon's bolt from |. the Tammany chair pleases him, becau of the muddle it has left the democrats in, but he would have been quite as serene if it had not happened.” As he left the club the governor paused a moment at his carriage door to reward the long walt of The Bee's stafft pho- tographe: EAU de COLOGNE Sobann Maria Facina R.
