Those who join the .United States army
as officers or enlisted men , expecting to have
nothing to do but drill and kill and draw
par , will be dleappolHted. The man from
West Point , while no may think ho has
acquired all there Is to learn , Is not allowed
to rest on bis laurels in this line ; and men
who become privates do not have their op
portunities for knowledge confined to the
handling of a Krag-Jorgenson , and learning
how to keep a perfect line while marching.
A system of education Is going on con
tinually In etery branch of the service.
At Fort Crook , for Instance , an officers'
lyceum holds meetings nt least once a week ,
and sometimes oftcner , whore papers are
read and discussed ou current matters per
taining to tbe army. Every officer sta
tioned there Is cot only expected to attend
these meetings , but must take part in them.
They must prepare papers on subjects per
taining to the army and its field of opera
tions , either a review ot some notable move
ment or publication , or an original treatise
on a subject of his own selection. These
papers are read In the presence of the other
officers and discussed by them , and perhaps
other papers prepared along the same line.
For the Enlisted Men.
Then there Is the non-commission school
for tbe non-commissioned officers , which
thty are required t attend. It Is something
on tbe line of the lyceum and tactics , army
regulations , guard drills and other such
matters are studied and discussed by the
ergeants and corporals and a few others
to better fit themselves for the duties they
are called upon to perform.
Last , but not least , Is the school for tha
private soldier , where the common school
branches are taught. This school la under
the direction of the post chaplain , assisted
fay some of the more Intelligent of the
soldiers. Soldiers who are unable to read

quired to attend this school , while with the
others It Is largely a matter of choice , but
most of them find It more agreeable to at
tend the school than to loaf around the
quarters during the long winter evenings.
As a rule they display great Interest in
the etudy of geography and history. Oc
casionally these schools get up In the
branches as high as algebra , but that Is
not expected ot them.
These schools and lyceums are conducted
for six months each year during the winter
months , and to assist all In the work each
post has a library , where books are ob
tained under similar regulations as govern
a public library. This effort to educate
the soldier on other lines than that ot fight
ing Is believed to be an Important reason
for tbe superiority of the service over that
in many other countries.
No word has yet been received at army
headquarters regarding the movement of
troops from the Deportment ot the Missouri
to the Philippines. Captain Baxter , chiet
quartermaster , says he expects no orders
until within a few days of the date ot tbo
movement , as all the regiments have been
under orders for a month to prepare them
selves for just such an assignment and
there will be nothing for the quartermas
ter's department to do In connection with
tbo moving ot the soldiers but secure trans
portation , which can bo done in a few
days.
Department Notes.
Major Hamner , chief paymaster , has re
turned from Fort Crook , where on Tuesday
ho put about $15,000 of Uncle Sam's gold
In circulation among the troops there.
Lieutenant Swalue , who has been attached
to the mustering office here , started out yes
terday to visit the few members of tbe
Second Nebraska who have not yet been
mustered out , and will perform that duty
for them at their homes. Those who remain
are generally In a state of convalescence
from fever , which makes It Impracticable
for them to corao to Omaha. There are
about thirty members ot the regiment to be
mustered out.
Some Interest exists In Omaha over the
promotions in the Third Nebraska volun
teers caused by the resignation ot Colonel
W. J. Bryan. Lieutenant Colonel Vlfqualn
having been made colonel , the question is
will the other officers be promoted to the
next blEber rank. J. H. McClay la the
senior major and C. F. Scharmann the
junior major. If they shall be moved up
U will leave C. H. Marplo ot this city as
the senior captain , and entitled to promotion
to a majority. This being done , Lieutenant
Will Doane will be railed upon to succeed
Marple at captain of the company.

Thos * Interested In bringing about an Im
provement In the street car service are con
sidering the advisability of going before the
legislature with a bill providing that upon
the presentation to tbe city council of a
petition bearing a certain number of signa
tures the council shall designate a day for
election to be held at which the question of
granting another street railway franchise
shall be voted upon. Under tbo existing
laws it remains optional with the council
whether such a question should be voted on
or not. The plant now contemplate the pre
senting of the question of another franchise
to the people here at the election next
April. Residents ot both the east and west
ides are clamoring * for another line ot
transportation to be operated between thl
city and Omaha. The oastsldert have the
support ot the South Side Improvement club
of Omaha and It li stated that an effort Is to
bo made to obtain a franchise for another
company both in this city and In Omaha.
The franchise under which the Omaha
Street Railway company Is now operating
Its Twenty-fourth street line was granted at
a special election held on July 24 , 1887. At
that time two companies were fighting for
an opening h re. One was known ai the
Omaha Motor company and the other as the
South Omaha Street Railway company. On
the date of the special election mentioned
the people bad tbe privilege of voting for or
against either of the propositions submitted.
Tbe records ihow that the Omaha. Motor
company's proposition received 274 votes as
against 136 for the South Omaha company.
A meeting of tbe council was held * day or
two after this special election when the
vote -was canvassed and the franchise wu
granted to the Omaha company. This
franchise was to run for & period ot forty
years from the granting of the same , so It
will be seen that the company now holding
the franchise bai a sure thing for twenty-
nine year * yet. While tbe franchise granted
gives to tbe Omaha company tbe right to lay
tracks upon , under or above every street
and alley in tbe city there Is nothing to pre
vent the granting of the same right to an
other company. Ono paragraph In tbe
ordinance specifies that the granting of the
franchlie In question ahall not Interfere In
any manner with the granting of similar
privileges' ' to other companies. In connec
tion with the proposed line it Is held that if

street and Missouri avenue It would be well
to extend It to the Union Paclflc depot. By
making the terminus of the line near the
yardi and packing houses a great deal ot
the travel would be drawn away from the
Twenty-fourth street line. Further it IB
figured that the proposed line would tap a
territory which laboring men are anxious to
reach and thus a great deal of this class of
traffic would bo taken from the one line now
In operation. Every morning and evening
the cara running between thla city and
Omaha are crowded so thai standing ; room U
at a premium. In cold "weather It is any
thing but pleasant to stand on the plat
form of a street car during a five or six-
mile ride.
While the franchise granted to the Omaha
company provides that the trains are to be
operated under the supervision and subject
to reasonable regulations of the city council
the records fail to show where any of the
numerous resolutions passed by the council
have been carried out by the company.
A committee of eastslders will wait on the
officers of the street railway company be
fore long with a proposition and If this is
not accepted the work of securing the legis
lation mentioned will be gone ahead with.
Transfer of Office * Nat Made.
No decision has been reached aa yet In
regard to changing the offices ot Chief of
Police Carroll and City Engineer Beal. At
the present time Deal occupies the room at
the rear of the police court , while Carroll
has a largo room down in the basement.
The room now occupied by Carrofl Is more
suitable for the city engineer , as it has a
large vault , In which the plates and draw
ings could be stored. In his present quarters
Beal has no vault and consequently no safe
place to keep bis records. Some means o
ventilation In the police court room is an
absolute necessity and by cutting a door into
the room occupied by the city engineer and
turning It Into an office for the chief of
police and the police judge the question of
ventilation would be eettied. Engineer Beal
is willing to move his belongings Into the
basement and Chief Carroll would be de
lighted at the prospect of getting the en
gineer's room. The delay in completing
this arrangement likely lies with the coun
cil committee on public buildings. In case
Chief Carroll vacates his present office he
will recommend that the door which leads
from his office into the jail bo walled up ,
thus reducing the number of entrance * to
tbo prison proper. Judge Babcock is anx
ious to have something done , s now It is
necessary to open the ouuide door ot the

Little Private < /'ar Line.
Residents over in Corrigan Place and
Good Luck addition are figuring on a little
street car line of their own. Within the
fast two years this section of the city has
grown up very rapidly and It is asserted
that over 200 voters live In the localities
mentioned. The Idea Is to operate a car line
along Thirty-ninth street from Q street to
Good Luck addition. If built the line would
be private property and would have no con
nection with the line now operating on Q
Btroet , The people In that section wouM
like to eeo the Q street line extended to
either Thirty-sixth or Thirty-ninth streets
and then run south a few blocks. This
would assist materially In furnishing means
of transportation to the large number of
packing house people , who are buying land
and building houses in the territory eouth
of Q street.
i Ase Miurntii Come Too Fn t.
The action of tbo Doard of Education In
allowing principals of schools to bo con
stantly urging pupils to contribute small
sums for various purposes Is being severely
criticised by the parents of some pupils.
At the school house In the Third ward a
piano was purchased some time ago on the
installment plan and the pupils dug up
their pennies and made ono or two pay
ments. Now some more money la due on
this piano and the scholars are being urged
to contribute eorao more. Those who com
plain of this policy npsert that If a piano la
needed In the school room the Doard of
"ducatlon should provide the same and put
i stop to the practice of begging for money
every little while.
New Catholic Church.
It Is reported that a new Catholic church
will be built before long at Thirty-sixth
and Q streets. When the land for the

vise was made that ono aero of land was to

time subccrlptlon papers have been circu
lated and It la understood that $1,800 has
already been subscribed. When the amount
of subscriptions reaches the sum of $2,000
