ing to patrons Of the roads. The lew
standard educational examinations and
tests-which are to be applied to all
engineers, fremen. brakemen, and
conductors-were tried for the first
time on the employees of the North
western road and will continue to
worry them until the close Of the
week. All who pass the tests will be
given until April / to adapt their
tongues to the new code. They will
be given a book of rules, in which the
new names Of old familiar things are
placed. These names they are to use,
though they may have to swing back
to the old when questioned as to their
meaning. The examinations are beng
held by a committee of employees. con-
sssting of an assistant superintend-
ent, a conductor, and an engineer
soon to be called an "engineman."
There are such committees on every
division and over 1000 men will have
to undergo the tests. When these are
over tests as to their duties and the
work will be held. The other west
ern roads will have their men under
go the same examinations within the
next six months.

Railroad Commissioner Graham T.
Rice estimates that the state of Wis
consin will receive S1,622. 1865 in
taxes from the railroads this year.
This is an increase of s112.S61.7S over
that OF last year. the total then being
$3.50 .4S4ST.
The increase in these taxes was
considerably more than was ex.
pected. Before the annual reports of
the companies began to come in IL
was thought that there would be a
considerable increase, but the returns
have exceeded expectations,
The reports how that nearly all OF
the roads had a much better business
last year than they did the year be
fore. To be sure. some of the roads
paid out more money than they took
in, but as they had been doing that
for some years II was to be expected
However. the deficits of these roads
were less last year than ever before
The roads that will pay the princi
pal increases this year. together with
the amount of those increases, are as
follows: Chicago. Milwaukee and
ST. Paul, sS0.24S4l; Chicago and
Northwestern, 24,46S.sS; Chicago. st
