The new ordinance makes swearing over

the telephonic service Is riot the best.
The ordinance also makes it a misde
meanor to ring the telephone bell when

whether the party called did so for a

Jab at Independent .Telephone.
The council lnst night notified the Inde
pendent Telephone company to "correct all
defects interfering .with the free and un
disputed secret transmission of messages
to stations in the city hall" , or to remove
Its exchange at once. The . notification
was contained In a resolution which stated
that the service Is not UP to standard and
Is not secret, as was by contract provided.
All the discussion of the telephone mat
ter arose from the fact that Councilman
Brucker the other day . vainly tried for
some minutes, he says, to get central on
the Independent line at the city ball. He
says the reason ho didn't succeed was that
a young man and a young, woman were
using the line. But they were not using
profane language; they were using lan
guage of a very different sort. It was the
sort of language that doves often employ
In the springtime.
There were eight councllmen present .t
last night's meeting and every one voted
for the resolution notifying the Independ
ent to give secret service over Its secret
wires or get out.

man Zlmman, in calling attention to . the
fact that the day was the fifty-second an

moved that the respects of . the council be
presented to his honor, together with the
reouent that he send a box of cigars to
the chamber at the next meeting of the
body. The motion passed without a .dis
senting vote, the statement being made
by one of the members that the ' four
democratic councllmen Bedford. laisasser,
Funkhouser and Jackson who receive $125
a month each for attending to the city's
business and who were absent last night,

TYPEWRITER MEN AT BANQUET
Omaba Office. of Smith Premier Com
pany Celebrates Winning
of Trophy.
In celebration of winning the Interna
tional salts trophy by the Omaha office,
of which M. Q. Plowman Is manager, a
number of the managers from other cities
and William A. Dyer, general manager of
the company, gave a dinner at Hansons'
last evening, .which was uniquo In many
ways.
The trophy cup was won by Omaha be
cause more Smith-Premier typewriters were
sold from this point by Mr. Plowman and
his agents than by , any other office in
proportion to the territory. The cup has
been In Berlin, Kansas City, Denver and
London. It came to Omaha recently and
la on display at the offices of the company.
This cup passed around the banquet
board last evening, filled with champagne,
as it has passed around In foreign lands.
The , toasts to the winners and to General
Manager Dyer were called and the wish
that the cup might at least stay In the
United $tates was expressed.
Of four gold watches offered for tho
record In sales, tho Omaha offices won
three, but Mr. Plowman, while a sales
man connected with the Kansas City of
fice, had won a. watch and this year when
he won again the company presented htm
with a fob and $00 in gold. This fob Is
the first ever given by the company, and
represents the first award to a manager
who had previously won by exceeding In
sales.
John A. Kellers of St. Louis was one of
the guests. Mr. Zellers was manager of
the Kansas City office when the trophy
cup was wqn by that city and Mr. Plow
man waa a salesman, at that time win
ning one of the watches offered in America
by (he cpmpany.
It was a gay scene In the banquet room,
and following the dinner a number cf ad
dresses were made, which eulogized the
energy and ability of the Omaha office as
well aa paid tribute to the business con
ditions In the Omaha trade territory,
which made the winning of the trophy
cup possible. The sales of a typewriter
company were ruferred to as a sensitive
barometer of business conditions and the
conditions about Omaha are reflected in
thj9 winning pf such an international
trpphy.
The following were present: William A.
Dyer, Syracuse, N. Y.; John A. Zellers,
St. Louis; F. A. Brttton, Kansas City;
