THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1002. i a DOUBLE ITS MAIN BUILDING , flaw Flaw of Telephone Company t Becura Needed Floor Space, HEADQUARTERS ARE TO BE ENLARGED IMaa for Braorh Kiebanse -o Aban doned, bat Main Will Be Made Twice Freaent Capacity. Within the next thirty days the Ne braska Telephone company will break ground for the erection of another three story brick building, adjotolng on the west the company'a present headquarters at the corner of Eighteenth and Lkuglas streets. The building Is necessary In order to admit of a larger operating room, new and Im proved switchboard and other apparatus to accommodate a 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 tha end of the present year. An officer of the company bad this to say of the proposed Improvement: "T. C. Ford of Boston, chief engineer of the American Bell Telephone company, has been here looking over the situation and has given na advice upon which we shall probably ct. For several years the Nebraska Tele phone company baa been confronted by the problem of how to extend Its present plant to the best advantage, and It presented tnsny difficulties. The plan was to build 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 oolse and dirt would Impair our nresent svstem and our 4.700 Omaha sub scribers bad to be protected. "Then we thought of building a separate and detached building, sixty-six feet west of the present building, on land recently acquired by the company, but that also has been abandoned. Our present plan is to erect a three-story brick building, 66x66 feet, adjoining the present building on the west and fronting on Douglas street. Be tween the two structures there will be an reaway running three-quarters of the .way back to the alley and the buildings will 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, 66x182 feet, adjoining the proposed atte on the west, to be used for outdoor storage. "The two lower floors of the proposed building will be used for storage, manufac ture and shop rooms, and the third atory will be used for operating. "This building haa nothing to do with the branch exchange which the company proposes erecting somewhere In the western part of the city. The building of the branch is still under contemplation." Koblea of Tangier Temple. Made final arrangements for the pil grimage to San Francisco on Friday even ing, May 23, selecting the Union Paclflo 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 Is the only line running through trains via Denver and Salt Lake to California; that it la 278 miles ahorter to San Franclaco, and 16 hours quicker than aay other line, and that, as less time la consumed via this route, there are fewer Incidental expensea on the trip. Nearly all of the prominent eastern Tem ples will pass through Omaha over the Union Pacific.

Every mall brings to Mayor Mooree re newed evidence that the matrimonial bureau Infant which was left on his door step by a facetious newspaper two months ago, is growing Into a lusty youngster of cosmopolitan nationality. From a Joke it has developed In a serious proposition. Started as a Jig. it baa swelled into a grand organ symphony and now the mayor thinks, he may have to Issue some of those photographic albums after all In order to quell the clamora which arise from the congested districts of Europe. Savants of the Old World capitals have chosen It as a theme for treatlsea; emigra tion agents see In It a chance for lucrative speculation, while in the eagerness with which some of the women seise this bubble there Is something almost pitiful.' Some of the newspapers treat It seriously, others satirically. It baa moved the Lokal Anxelger of Berlin 'to call Nebraska a "love drunk community," and a paper in Constantinople to aay that this dearth of women Is at the bottom of the American antipathy to polygamy.

MAGIC CITY LABOR WELL SATISFIED Men Not Inclined to Go Out oa Sym pathy Strike Nor Qalt Work Except for Good Reasons, The teamsters' strike In Chicago, which from press reports appears to be tying up the meat handling trade, does not appear in the least to worry the packers in South Omaha. 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 affaire of the teamsters now going on In Chicago. It la 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 hero are better paid than in most cities. 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 bouses 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 bouses to make any demanda at this time. A large proportion of packing bouse employes here and these say that something serious must occur before they will go on a strike. Shippers to this market appear to be well satisfied with the prices paid and the man ner in which stock Is handled and a number at the Exchange yesterday expressed the AntiilnH tt ft. -er-1 itf Ik, rhln.m OImV v.,. . ,,, . .,..

Secretary Root has issued a general order decreasing the strength of our permanent military establishment and changing the ratio of Its makeup as pro vided In the general order Issued last May to carry out the army reorganization law. t'nder the general order of last May the total strength of the army was fixed at 77,287 men. The order Issued 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 new 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 field artillery will be reduced from thirty 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 siege batteries, 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 17,743, aa against the 18,862 men provided in the former order. The new order re duces Iho 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 inMr t,ranrh remains aa formerly, as does also the strength of the staff departments. It will be the plan of tbs War depart. ment hereafter to divide the army, as pro vided in the order issued today, Into thirds. having one-third of the entire establish ment In the Philippines at all times and the remaining two-thirds In the United States and elsewhere. By this plan an enlisted man, Uklng six years as a basis, would serve four years - In the United States proper, or in Hawaii or in Alaska, to every two years served In the Philippines.

SEEKING REST AND PLEASURE SOLELY Trip Across Continent, Made to Es cape Worry of rolltlcs at Home, a Source of Continual Delight. For three and a half hours Saturday aft ernoon Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., governor of New York, waa In Omaha and entertained at ' the Omaha club by Horace G. Burt, president of the Union Paclflo railroad, who presented a number of prominent Ne braskans who called In a somewhat In formal way. With the governor were his wife, bis father, now 77 years old; bis mother, his sister. Miss Odell; Senator T. E. Ellsworth, president pro tem of tha New York state senate, and H. K. Bird, the governor's secretary, who Is known at Albany as the "official bureau tor the sup pression of information." Been Boay for m Month. The party left New York on April 20, went to Atlanta and New Orleans, then over the Southern Paclflo to California, where the governor spent some time In roaming about from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, from Monterey to 'Frisco and through the Yosemlte valley. The arrival here over the Union Paclflo was at 4:30 and they left at 7:55 to go to St. Paul and then to Montreal over the Canadian Paclflo, 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 satd, "this Nebraska town Is worth visiting, not only because of Its early history, but because ot Its probable future." Mrs. Burt took Mrs. Odell 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 dinner or speeches after the reception. ' It there had been the governor probably would have stayed at his car, for he is trying to make this trip as much of a recreation and rest cure as the tour ot the executive of so great a state could be. Jnat Out for Pleasure. "I am out for a pleasure ride, nothing more," he said. "I am glad to meet peo ple, but let no man say politics to me. My principal business Just now Is . to forget politics and I wish to talk of the other matters Just anything that Is diverting and worth while. "If I were to make a 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 ot 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 tn six weeks' travel all the vari eties 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 Ave a day for a month; the people well,-1 even found aome kinds that we haven't tn New York. When I get back to my state I am going to preach the new 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 Enthualaatle All the War. Other members of the party who beard the governor speaking said, with smiles: He has been Just that enthusiastic for two weeks. Everywhere be haa found some thing more to wonder over and to praise. 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 bis own. Everywhere we have stopped he has been a veritable interrogation point, asxing prominent people all manner of questions stout the various Industries and the his tory of their respective localities. "As for his political prospects, they are not worrying him at all. In his message he took a firm stand for such development of the other aources 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 pleaaes him, because ot the muddle it has left the democrats In, but be would have been quits as serene if it bad not happened." As he left the club the governor paused a moment at his carriage door to reward the long wait ot The Bee's staff pho tographer. 1 EAU de COLOGNE 3obann AarU Jarlna Bternen- 9-11 in Koln, gases r 1$ til Senulna, Ask Connol$s$ar$. l or sale oy VV.
