The Wabash railway has issued a
positive order that no boy or young
man shall be employed in any of its
shops or other departments for the
purpose OF learning any trade or
skilled work, unless he brings certiti-
cate from his instructors stating that
he has completed the studies of the
second grammar department Of school
work. The reason for this order is
that the company has found that
young men who have completed the
English branches of study learn
skilled work much more readily than
those who have not, and that it can
find sufficient young men who have
this qualification. pr

La SALES Electric Railway.

Alta special meeting Of the La Sale
City Council held Tuesday evening,
the ordinance to grant a franchise to
the City Electric Railway company,
allowing them to construct street
railway in the city of La Sale, was
passed unanimously. There was not
a dissenting voice. The ordinance is
similar TO that presented to the Ot-
tawa Electric Railway company some
months ago with the exception Of one
or two clauses.
The ordinance requires the company
to build not less than 2 miles of road
within II months after the franchise
has been accepted. At the end of
years, miles of road must be in oper'
alton. The company are allowed 6O
| days in which to accept or reject the
ordinance. 1t is not probable they
will reject it, however. Messrs. Mer.
rifeld, Stead and Enyart, of this city,
the directors of the company, were
present at the meeting and made a
| few remarks, 10y way Of explanation,
as to what they intend doing.
There was difference of opinion
among the aldermen as to whether
the r or fiat rail should be used.
Some We're in favor Of using the I
rail in some parts Of the city and the
fiat rail in other parts. A vote was
then taken which showed that ! aid
ermeS favored the use Of the flat rail
exclusively, ard opposed 1T. The
majority ruled and the fiat rail will bt
used exclusively.
Mr.. Enyart was seen by FREE
TRADER reporter yesterday and asked
what the directors thought OF the
action Of the La Sale council. He
said "".
''The franchise is worth $4,000 ir

pecuniary standpoint, but will give
it to the company that makes the best

Brush company, of indianapolis, Ind.

than any other company in the
country. The Short system works on
a current OF from ll0 to $50 volts. The
ThOmsOn-HoustOn system uses cur
rent 800 volts strong. This is consid-
cred dangerous to both man and
beast. The first line built will con
meet the two cities, that is, Peru and
La Sale, and will be two and one-hali
miles long. The equipment of the
road will be most complete in every
particular. by June !. we will have
cars running on this line
do YOU think the road will be a
success?" was asked.
1T is bound to be a success, and
promises to be a paying enterprise.
We will build first class road and
the work will begin as soon as the
weather permits. We contemplate
building several other roads in other
cities in the state. We expected to
build road in Sedala, Mo-, but
another company got in ahead Of us
and were given franchise"

the uncertainty of legislation, to get
rid of their taskmasters-the nation

Their notes not being a legal ten

require all to engage in this scheme.
A few determined men in different
parts of the country who would sell,
