NEW TELEPHONE FRANCHISE
Not Yet Signed by the MayOr-Com
pany Preparing for Work.

City Clerk Stuckmeyer did not send the
New Telephone Company's franchise,
passed at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, to
Mayor Taggart yesterday. Consequently it
was not signed. The franchise is very
large document and has to be Transcribed
in script on the permanent records Of the
Council. Mr.. Stuckmeyer thought yester-
day that the work of making the transcript
would be completed in time to send the
ordinance to the mayor to-day.
Meantime the officials of the New Tele-
phone Company have shown no sign Of
tagging. There was meeting yesterday to
discuss further details of it's plans. One of
the many sites that have been offered for
an exchange will be selected, after which
the company's plans and specifications for
the installation of the plant, including I'M
derground conduits, will be made. All
plans must be approved by the city en-
gineer and Board of Public Works, partic-
ulariy those for the underground conduits
and the aereal cables. S. p. Sheerin, vice
president of the company, said yesterday
bids for installing the work would be adj
vertised for in a few days-the company
hopes yet this week Supply houses will be
asked to bid on the entire work, and also
on different portions of it, such as the con-
duits, switchboards, the cable work, etc.
While the war has increased the estimates
made in some cases. Mr. Sheerin says that
the company has been beseged by supply
men, all apparently anxious for contracts.

cacies they had brought along TO vary the
soldiers fare. The camp of the regiment is
fortunately situated on ground high enough
to keep the water from running into the
tents, and ii showed in puddles only in the
hollows The tents have been well banked
with dirt where they reach the ground, and
those who had no duty TO perform lay all
day on their blankets out OF the wet There
were seventy-five men who were not by any
means immune from the weather. They had
been convicted of running the guard lines
and their sentences were heavy details of
extra guard duty, police duty or other
work Of the kind. The visitors were amused
by the sight of several men running around
In a circle for two hours, others marching
with a hundred-pound stick of wood on
their shoulders and performing sundry other
evolutions in penance for leaving the camp
without permission. These men cannot be
classed as deserters. A soldier to be charged
with desertion, except in time of active
hostilites, must be absent from his post
ten days, otherwise he can only be charged
with being absent without leave.

SHE HAD AN EXPERIENCE.
Young Woman Who Will Not BE I'm
Hurry to Shake Hands Again.


The Second Regiment of Missouri volun-
teers, In command of Colonel Chaffee,
passed through this city yesterday morning
on it's way to Chickamauga. The regiment
Is being transported on a train of three
sections. 1t had left behind it in Jefferson
Barracks four other infantry regiments and
battery Of artillery.
Quite crowd had gathered at the Union
Station to greet the regiment as it stopped
for few minutes. The same incidents that
have occurred at the departure of the In
diana troops were present yesterday morn
ing with one exception and that a startling
one. A number of girls between the ages
of sixteen and twenty were in the train
shed talking with the soldiers as they leaned
out of the car windows and telling them

surface by the volition of romantic minds

experienced as many times the exhibitions
of girls approval of them. AS the train
pulled slowly out the girls began the tactics
Of shaking hands with each soldier leaning

evolution met with it's usual success to the
seventeen years old, described, of course, as
very pretty by those who say me the ac1dfar
on her side Of the train and as the last car
rolled by she raised her hand to the man in
the last window He took 1t and heartily
pressed it and as she withdrew he slipped off
two rings which she wore. When she came
to from her disconcertion and called to him
to give back her rings the train had gath
cred speed and was fast leaving her behind.
The soldier, holding the rings high in the
air, cried with an exultant laugh, Good
bye, miss, take care of YOURSELF, knocking
the expression that the soldiers fair adj
mirers are wont to use. The girl quickly
left the station when she saw that her
rings were gone irretrievably and her name
could not be secured. One of the rings was
set with diamond worth probably $35 and
the other was plain gold band. 1t cannot
be stated whether or not either of the rings
signified an engagement. 1t was suggested
that though it was good humored' theft
the girl would probably be inclined to cheer
for Spain until she is consoled for the loss
of her ieWelrY.

BE Superintendent.

It is the understanding that Frank B.
Cooper will not remain here to await the
result of the School Board meeting tonight.
Yesterday he met the members of the board
individually and the excellent impression he
made on the commissioners at the informal
meeting of Wednesday night was strength
ened by the personal interviews had yester-
day. Those commissioners who favor a
change in the SUPPLEMENTARY say that Mr..
Coopers election is extremely probable.
Some of Superintendent Gosss friends still
insist that there is a chance for him.
Mr. Cooper is forty-two years old and, at
present, is superintendent of the, schools at
West Des Moines, Ia, and president of the
Iowa State Teachers Association. Prior to
his becoming superintendent of the West

WASHINGTON May 1.-THE War Office
was unable to crafty the desire of the
Northumberland Indiana to be
assigned to the Philippines, as Col Barnett
wished. The next best thing in sight was
an order to proceed as soon as possible to
Camp Alger, near Washington. and this
order wac dispatched to-day. No time was
fixed for starting, but the understanding is
that the regiment will leave Indianapolis
within very few days. Camp Alger, which
will be the home of the observation-disclosures
fifty-ninth for the next three months, is
situated about eight miles, as a crow would
fly, but nearly fifteen miles by road or by
train from Washington. 1t is in Virginia
and lies upon the second of the series or
plateaus which form the foothills of the
Blue Ridge mountains. some hVe miles TO

Washington. The spot where the volunteers
are encamped is a historic one. Around
about it many of the first skirmishes of the
war of the rebellion occurred and
the ground upon which the Indian
ians will pitch their tents was stained
with the blood of good Americans who thir-
ty-two years ago were pitted against each
other. Almost within sight of the present
camp the famous battle of Balls Bluff was
fought, and. in fact, the whole surround
ing territory was fought over between the
ConfederateS and the Federals. The battle
of Bull Run was fought within a few miles
of Camp Alger. and from the tented fields
can be seen the high ground upon which
stands the famous Robert Z. Lee home

getting that they must take their turns at
the board few hours later.
The apparatus is not yet connected With
the Central Union Telephone system or
with the various telephones in the police
