Sold to lie the Ilcitt injoyod by Any City the Size of Council Illnrin Clmngo Made Without C'onfunion. A society event that excited more Interest than any other during the week and In wider and moro cosmopolitan circles , oc curred at fi o'clock yesterday afternoon 1C very business and professional man and all others In the city who u < e telephones had been notified , and a large number o : handsomely printed Invitations had been sen around Inviting the rccelplcnts to be pres ent. 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 ot the Dald- vvln block. Its social features were onlj enjoyed by the ladles and gentlemen who had responded to the Invitations and were present In the new building , but the Inter est In the removal was shared by all users of the 'phones. The new multiple switchboard and all the other new things that have been called forte 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 bo dire confusion and that eveiy 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 piogrcss at 5 o'clock. An hour be fore there was a gicat rush of business at the old exchange , and every man who could think of anything he wanted to say over the wlro was anxious to say It bcforo the clock struck 5. And then there was a lull , and the change was made , and nobody knew It. The operators staid at their places In front of the old board In the old building until D o'clock. Ilxtra operators were at the new board , and the rooms were filled with ladles and gentlemen attending the "opening. " Manager Lane of the Omaha exchange assisted Manager Atkins In ex plaining the m > sterlous simplicity of the new system , and Miss McClure - Cluro and Miss Duncan , chief operator , nnd her assistant of the Omaha exchange , were all present and gave the op erators their final Instructions. Mr. Hopf of the Western Hlcctrlc company and Mr. Owynne , galvanometer man of the Nebraska Telephone company , were also present. Only a few of those collected with the exchange and the operators knew when the change was made and the subtle current left the old quarters and took up Its 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 nome 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 subbcrlbers. The change had been made nnd none of the guests of the occasion had been made aw are 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 nnd 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 appreciate It. " The location of the new office Is certainly as line as could bo desired In every respect , both for the convenience of the public and the operators. The public telephone Is in closed in double plate glass , giving the ut most privacy. There Is no moro noise and confusion in the operating room than there Is at a Quaker prayer meeting , the an swers to calls being 'made in tones 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 callefli 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 , give the crank one quick turn. Immediately 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 vvlll answer without your ringing. Second When called do not ring back , but at once put the telephone to your ear and talk. Third Always ring oft when through talking. , Fourth Never ring jour bell except to call cential or disconnect. Fifth Answer your bell promptly. You will only be rung twice , and , If you do not answer , calling party vvlll be so InformeJ , If the above rules ate not followed satis factory service cannot be given.

The department encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic , which meets hero 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 civic societies , particularly Masons , Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. The encampment vvlll be held In Dohany's opera house , and the delegates and visitors will bo quartered In hotels , and with private families. The restaurants and hotels will bo taxed to their utmost to en tertain these guests , especially as the Grand hotel Is not likely to be open at that time. The citizens of Council llluffs must open their houses to these guests and in every way seek to make their stay hero 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 Odd Fellows. Knights of Pjthlas and other similar bodies ought to appoint reception committees to act with the citizens' commit tee to properly receive 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 jy Abe Lincoln post , so that the entertain ment of the visitors Is a matter which the city must look after , not expecting Abe Lin coln post to take the lead In any matter per taining to It.

The governor has ordered out the mllltla. Nine compa nies , Including one of artillery , will start Immediately for the coal llclds by special train. At the governor's office this morning every one was In a state ot expectancy. Although the first Information given out lit the execu tive office to the effect that the mllltla would not be ordered out at least today , the day was not far advanced when the aspect of affairs assumed aery serious plms < e. This was caused by reports which were re ceived from the Shclburn and Washington mining districts which told of the deter mined stand the miners had taken to pre vent the moving of coal trains In spite of the governor's warning. Sheriff Mills asked for the mllltla last night on the ground that he couldn't move the blockaded coal trains , but Governor Matthews refuted his consent. Asked what his position In the matter was the governor said , "I am not In a position to make an ) statement. As a citizen I earnestly hope the miners will win the strike. They de serve more pay than they have been re ceiving. I also hope the differences wilt 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 UPC violence. " Sheriff Mills went home and endeavored , at the governor's advice , to collect n posse of fifty deputies to go to Shelburh 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 cltl/ens v\as all on the side of the miners. The governor at noon received a message from the slerlff of Davles 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 companies. Four of them are from Indianapolis. A Galling gun squad from this city was also ordered. The governor declined to announce } he 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 4EO 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 go there. They will be under the com mand of Brigadier General M. G. McKee of Indianapolis. Adjutant General Robbing will command the troops at Cannelsburg. Mobt attention has been given to 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 n 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 & Sauthvv.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 switch track. Injunction papeis were served , but no attention was paid to them. The sheriff then telegraphed the governor for troops. The Cannelburg miners are aided by miners from this city and Mont gomery. DEPUTIES ARK IIKINFOIICKD. When They Number One Thousand Thoj \V 111 March on the .Strikers. COLORADO SPRINGS , Colo. , Juno 2. The city Is in a very excited state over the prospects ot 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 Manltou , where they boarded a Midland train for the camp , and tonight 200 more went over the same loute. 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. \ The march airalnst the miners' camp will not bo 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 recite that on January 1 there were forty-nine producing mines In the camp ; that of these thirty-eight were workIng - Ing eight-hour shifts , nine working nine and the remainder ten hours , all for W 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 Walto and the mine owners will , In all probability , 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 Walto demanded that all strikers should bo granted Immunity from prosecution for past acts , and there Is no llkllhood that the owners will consent to this proposition. John Calderwood , president of the Miners' union , Is here , but sat In n separate room In the Colorado college , where the conference was held. While there Deputy United States Marshal Wlro approached him and thrust a document Into Caldervv cod's hands , but neither would divulge Its contents. It Is believed the paper Is a citation from the federal courts , Issued at the Instance ! ot 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 Walte said "When the mine owners appoint a man to arbitrate , then I urn ready to do BO. I will not arbitrate with every lawyer In Colorado rado Springs. " Sheriff Bowers served the governor with official notice calling for troops. Wulte re plied , shaking his list : "If the mlno owners want peace they can have It In five min utes. " Conl Miners Arrtmted forObntructlng Trulim. ST. JOSEPH , June 2.
