an ordinance giving lne new idchd-
wanna Telephone company franchise
TO use the city's streets for its poles
and wires was introduced in select
council last night. With some oppo-
sition the measure was hurried in and
out. of the committee and passed one
reading.
Each branch Of councils was in ses-
sion, select council in regular and COM
mon council in adjourned session. Be-
cause of the city controllers recent
communication that surplus fund of
$4,000 was available for general pur-
poses an avalanche Of ordinances pro-
vidng for an expenditure of the money
developed i'm each branch. In addition,
an ordinance, supplementary to the ap-
proved 1895 appropriation measure was
introduced.
When the order of new ordinances
and resolutions was reached in select
council Mr. O'Boyle introduced the
telephone franchise measure.
Mr. Finns motion that the ordinance
he referred to the judiciary committee
and reported forthwith met with an
amendment by Mr.. Melvin that the
measure take its regular course. Pres
ident Chttenden ruled that the first
motion had precedence as it involved
procedure contrary to regular rule. Tho
motion was adopted by a vote of 10
to 9, President Chittenden not voting.
REPORTED FAvORABLY.
The ordinance was reported favorably
by Mr.. SanderSon, the chairman of the
committee, who first received from Mr..
Finn an assurance that no attempt
would be made to pass the ordinance
on more than one reading last night.
When the measure was called up on
first reading by Mr. Finn, the privilege
of the floor was granted Attorney
George S. Horn. He announced that
the paid-in capital of the company
had recently been increased to 100000;
that 500 subscribers had been secured
100 more than was provided in the or
dinance, and that the rate for service
would be much lower than charged by
other companies. The rate would he
$24 per year for house telephones and
$3i or less for business telephones The
rate would be uniform and not affected
by the number of calls. Arrangeme ents
had been started, he said, for subscrib-
ers up and down the valley and for
connection at Carbondale and Ha2eton
with other circuits.
The ordinance passed first reading by
vote of 13 to 5. President Chittenden
and Mr. Ross not voting. The division
was as follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Finn. Kearney. Thomas,
James Roche, Robinson, Shea, Sander
son, Schroeder, Lansing, O'Boylc, Coyne,
MCAndrew.
Nays-Mcssrs. Williams, Melvin, Nc
Cam, Fellows and Frable.
At the opening Of the session and
when President Chittenden was pre-
pairing to open the sealed proposals to
clean the city's paved streets by con-
tract, Mr.. Roche aroused the interest
of the members by the request that the
proposals he left unopened. He re-
marked that the proposals had been
made upon specifications that were in
complete and misleading. He then re-
ceived permission to read the follow
ing typewriter statement which, he
said, had been handed him previous to
the meeting:

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES FOR
SETTLERS.

In order to encourage the movement
of settlers and land buyers from Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and the eastern states to
Western Minnesota, South Dakota and
North Dakota. the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St Paul Railway company has very
materially reduced its carload rates for
emigrant movables, SO that farmers who
have purchased lands in Western Mime
sofa, South Dakota and North Dakota
can take all of their belongings with them
to their new homes at small expense,
which inducement upon the part of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
will no doubt be greatly appreciated by
those who are thus benefited.

EASY TO GET IN THE ARMY.
But Once in Only Bullet Can Gc
You Out.

Governor Russell is daily in receipt Of
letters and kilograms from mothers and
sisters Of men who have enlisted, asking
him to have them discharged. All sorts
of reasons are given for these requests.
or course the Governor is powerless to
do this. However good may be the rea-
sons assigned, nobody but the Secretary
Of War, or the President can discharge
Il United States soldier; and they seldom
feel justified in sending home a man who
ut years of discretion has voluntarily en-
listed for the defence of the country.
An instance of this kind came up yes
