" Tresldent Yost and Attorney Mortman
of the Nebraska Telephone company spent
several hours In 4 he city yesterday looking
over altes for the company's new exchange
building. They have two or three sites
in the business center ef the city under
consideration and a deal for one of them
will probably be closed In a few days.
With the placing of Its wires In under
ground conduits In the business psrt of the
city and the erection of an exchange build
Ing, together' with other Improvements,
President Tost stated that his company
planned on expending from $85,000 to
1100,000 In Council Bluffs for the' better
ment of the service. .
The company's business,. President Tost
admitted, had outgrown Its present rented
quarters, and the service bad to some ex
tent suffered In consequence. The com
pany, , he . said, had not felt disposed to
make any extensive Improvements while
occupying fented quarters for Its exchange,
but that as soon as Its own building was
completed a considerable sum of money
would be expended In the installation of
new and the latest apparatus. New switch
boards will be Installed and the service In
every respect brought up to the highest
standard possible.
Work on the underground conduits will
be begun In the near future, the material
for this Improvement having already been
ordered. It la possible that the work of
laying the conduits msy be completed this
year.
Coancll All at Sea.
The city council, after holding a two
hours' session Monday night behind closed
doors In the mayor's office, adjourned
shortly before midnight without having ar
rived at any definite conclusion In regard
to the Independent telephone franchise or
dinances. Each alderman appears to have
a different opinion on tCa matter. Some
favor the proposition of Dr. Macrae's com
pany, while others are Inclined to favor
that submitted by H. H. Van Brunt's com.
pany. It was decided to meet as a com
mlttee -of the whole next Monday evening,
when the whole question will again be
threshed over.
.- Alderman Lougee stated ihat be was In
favor of the council first deciding on ex
actly what It desired In the way of an In
dependent telephone service for the city, ,
and then having the city solicitor draft
an ordinance In conformity, this ordinance
to be then submitted to the two com
panies now seeking a franchise. It either
of the companies were willing to accept
such an rrdinance, then the council should
allow It to be submitted to the cltlsena
for their approval or disapproval ft spe
cial election. This he believed "the only
manner in which anything tangible would
result.
Alderman Fleming of the Fifth ward
said he was Inclined to act cautiously.
Past experience showed that the city, In
granting franchises, had been grievously
victimised. He cited as Instances the
franchise granted the Lke Manawa Rail
road company, which subsequently sold Its
charter to the Omaha A Council Bluffs
Railway and Bridge company, and the
franchise granted the Bluff City Gas and
Electric Light company, which, as soon as
it secured the charter, disposed of It to
the old Council Bluffs Gas and Electrle
Light company, reorganised under the name
of the Cltixens' Oss and Electric company,
with the reault that the current for the
lighting of the city Is now . furnished hy
Omaha. Alderman Fleming was emphatic
In his statement that he would have to be
satisfied that neither of the two companies
row seeking independent telephone fran
chises would sell out to some other con
cern as soon as It secured a charter. Thoae
Interested In the two new local Independent
companies deny any Intention of selling
their franchise. If one la granted them.

DE3 MOINES. Ia., March 24. (8peclal.)
If the recommendations of the War board
as to the regulations for the national guard
companies affiliated with the regular army
are put into force by Secretary Root It will
add at least 1.000 men te the four regiments
of the Iowa natlontl guard. This will be
strenuously opposed by Adjutant General
Byers, who realises that thla high standard
Is Impossible of attainment even tn Iowa,
where the guard Is much better treated than
In the average of states. The War board haa
recommended that tho minimum of member
ship In the guard companies shall be
sixty-five men for Infantry and cavalry.
At preaent the number of men In the com
panies of Iowa averages about forty-five.
The companies are expected to be of about
fifty strength, and General Byers, when he
was In Washington to attend to the prelim
inaries of the bill and assist In urging it
on congress, suggested a minimum of fifty
for the reorganized companies. But he de
clares that sixty-five Is too high and that
if It Is enforced a number of Iowa com
panies will be forced out of existence be
cause they are In towns too small to main
tain companies of that size. Then the ap
propriations for the Iowa guard do not
contemplate any such strength, and the
appropriations would have to be Increased
to meet the changed conditions. General
Byers will protest to Secretary Root against
the proposed minimum- requirement of
membership and ask that it be placed not
higher than fifty. In this It Is probable
that a number of the adjutant generals of
western states will agree. In other respects
the decisions of the War board as to the
Intent of the new law are heartily approved
by the officials of the Iowa national guard.
The fcurth election in the Fifty-fourth
regiment, comprising the companies of
southeastern Iowa, was held last night,
and returns were received sufficient to In
dicate that Captain Frank E. Wetherell of
Oskaloosa has been elected. There were
four candidates Wetherell, Smeenk, Hay
nle and Kennedy.- The first three elections
resulted In no choice. The election of
Monday night favored the Oakaloosa man
who Is one of the most popular captains
in the regiment and has been at the head
of the company for three years. The con
test was a friendly one all through.

General F. M. Drake of Centerville ar

of the state committee, with 8. M. Harvey
of Dea Moines, secretary. They will make
an effort to organize in all parts of the
state this year and may put a ticket In the
field by petition. The prohibitionists will
have to go on the state ticket this year
by petition as the vote fell so low last
year that It will not now be a legal party,
Contract for Cottasie Let.
The State Board of Control today let the

the Mitchellvtlle Industrial school for girls
