in which this was abandoned for the

Philadelphia for a week of rehearsal
upon the winters work, which will

this winter enter upon the Orpheum

work during the summer has been
solely upon the cornet, but previous

BELL Telephone
MAKES A CHANGE
Moves Long Distance Lines from Des
Moines Street to the Martin
Building.

The Bell Telephone company are
moving their long distance lines
from their former position in the
front rooms of the Chase building on
Des Moines street into the Martin
telephone building on Wilson av-
enue. Several installers have been at
work for the past month making the
change and are likely to be kept
busy for the next month completing
the job.
The long distance board is being
placed in the room in the Martin
telephone building which was for
merly occupied as the private Office
of E. II. Martin. This change ne
cessitates others about the building
and the room which formerly was
the long distance Office is now being
fitted up for rest room for both
long distance and local operators.
The new long distance board which
was installed in the front upper
rooms of the Chase building, former
ly occupied by the Chase & Chase
law offices, is being now installed in
the Martin building. All their ter
minal racks are also being put into
place in the latter building and are

TRYING TO KILL OFF
The NATIONAL GUARD
Believed 1t Des Moines That the
War Department and Regular
Army Want Such Results.

Word comes from Des Moines that
friends OF the national guards in
that city and throughout Iowa be:
lfeve the war department at Wash
yington, through the influence OF the
regular army, is setting about to
make the national guard SO unpop-
ular with those who are members OF
it that once out they will not go in
to the service again. 1t Is claimed
that this is one of the most effective
ways OF killing of the guard and
thus giving the whole army field to
the regular army.
The latest move here in Iowa of
bringing the cavalrymen who refus-
ed to take the federal oath to Fort
Des Moines and requiring them to do
service down on the border regard
less Of whether they take the fed
eral oath or not is cited as further
evidence on the part OF the war de-
partment to make the guard unpop-
ular. Then the small pay given the
men. the failure to provide trans
portation for them back home when
mustered out or honorably discharg
ed down at Brownsville. their fail
ure to equip the guard in anything
like an adequate manner, these are
some of the things. guardsmen say,
which will kill the guard. Loyal
and patriotic young men do not like
this sort of treatment. Neither do
they wish to become professional
soldiers and give up their life oc-
cupations.

FRIDAY HOTTEST
Of THE SEASON
Government Thermometer Reluct-
antly Moves up as Relentless
Sun Wakes Hotter.

Friday proved to be the hot.
test day Of the summer when the re.
lentless sun waxed hotter and hot
ter as the day advanced. Added tc
the scorching rays of the sun, q
burning, blistering, slitheringly hot
wind blew all day long almost cook
ing vegetation. The government,
thermometer, situated in the shade,
always conservative in its estimate,
reluctantly moved UP the scale until
nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon
when it stopped at 1864 degrees.
Everyone was willing it should stop.
As far as could be learned there
were no objections.
But in the sun-that was differ
ent story. The feet of pedestrians
were burned by the hot pavements
and steering wheels of automobiles
parked in the downtown district
were hot to the touch. The cool
wind which blew over this section
late in the evening was as welcome
as the flowers in spring, and today
the thermometer will not reach the
hundred mark in the shade.

fright and ran away. In some mex
plainable manner, he caught his foot
in a wheel of the wagon and was
whirled round and round on the
wheel, humping and bruising his
body in merciless manner. until
the team turned and ran into a fence
which stopped them in their mad ca
reer. Had the team continued for
any distance further down the road
Mr., Brown would have been killed.
He was brought to this city to the

SWIMMING POOL
ALMOST COMPLETED
Pool to be Filled With Water as
Test-To be Used by Men,
Women and Children.

The new swimming pool which
the park commissioners have been
working on in Nokomis park for the
past six weeks, is now almost done
and within few days will be pump
ed full of water as a test to find out
II the soil will hold the water. Ii
the silt. which composes the soil at
this place, acts as does clay, the
water will be pumped off and gravel
be rolled into the bottom of the ex-
cavation for the pool. A gravel bot
tom will give better footing for
swimmers than concrete, and this
will be used il possible.
/ However, should the water leak
out too rapidly, the whole will have
to be concreted. sides and bottom, at
q considerably greater cost. A CEN
trifugal pump will fiji the excava-
ton with water from the rt-er, and
r. e. Clark is now putting in dam
near his ice house which will raise
the water in the river about two
feet. The park commissioners have
been to no small work to dredge
the river near the park of trees,
stumps. snags. ETC.. to make fit
place for swimmers
The pool is 170x6O feet in dimen-
sions. with one side and one end of
shallow depth to enable women and
children to use the pool to the best
advantage. A depth of six feet is
attained on the deep side for swim
mers and divers. The pool will be
in use within a few weeks.
The swimming pool will not be u.s.
ed exclusively for women and chill
dren. for men will also use the re-
sort, but it is expected that the for
mer will make far greater use of it.
than the male swimmers.
A perfect drain has been installed
which will take about, three hours
to empty the water and upon the
shallow side of the pool. wagon
loads Of sand will be hauled, that
children may play upon the sandy
"beach" ii they so desire while
their mothers disport themselves in
the water. The swimming pool
promises to be the most popular re-
sort yet provided in this city and
will fully repay the park commits
sioners for the time and trouble
spent in perfecting it.
