F. IT. Caldwell, of Milan, has re-
turned from trip east and says that
he has assurance that the financing
of the Western Illinois Railway com
pany, which proposes to build to
Aledo and Of which he is chief pro-
moter. will be an easy matter. Mr..
Caldwell says he has the right of way
from Milan to Aledo and from Milan
to the Moline bridge all granted for
the asking, and that proceedings have
been begun to get the right of way
from the government across the
bridge. Milan's slowness in granting
franchises. he intimates, is liable to
result in that town being left out in

soon taken a route will be provided

MAY BE WITHOUT BANDS
Regiments of State Guard InvOIved In
Trouble Over Chicago AFFAIR.


The trouble in Chicago at the time
of the celebration of the centennial
of that city when the band of vari-
Gus regiments of the National Guards
of this state refused to march with
their commands in the same parade
with the United States Marine hand,
has led to a state of affairs that
threatens to leave the National Guard
without music. The refusal of the
musicians to participate in the par
ade, it is generally known, was be
cause the members of the Marine
band do not belong to the American
Federation of Musicians. The mem
bers are. Of course, enlisted men, and
so the fight is upon the navy depart
ment. 1t is not unlikely that all the
colonies whose regiments took part
in the Chicago parade will discharge
their bands. The trouble may extend
to the other regiments also.
