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."

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

which some of the women seise this bubble

the newspapers treat It seriously, others

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

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.

REDUCTION JN THE ARMY
General Order Decreasing; strength to

WASHINGTON. Jun 1. By dlreclon of
the president. 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

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
