MILAN AND SEARS RENEW

At Monday evenings meeting of the
village councils of Sears and Milan
the franchise of the Tri-CIty Railway
company WAS renewed for q period Of
20 years, thus ending a long contcn-
ton. particularly in the former place,
where the legality of a former fran
chise passed by the council was con
tested. The granting of the fran
chises means the immediate improv-
ing of the line. particularly from
Sears to Milan. where the track has
been in bad condition for wears.
In Milan the road will ne extended

ROBBERS BUNGLE JOB OF
OPENING CAMBRIDGE SAFE

Charles Ficbig, the expert lock
smith, returned last evening from
Cambridge, Henry county, where in
half an hour yesterday afternoon he
accomplished what number of other
experts had been working upon vain
ly for the past two days-the open
ing of a safe in the store of Otto +.
Lyons. Craftsmen were at work on
the safe Saturday night and they
drilled hole and attempted with a
screw punch to dislocatc the lock So
that the door could be opened. They
failed by half an inch ard in their
operations damned the mechanism so
that it would not respond to the usu-
al process of opening when the com
binatiou was tried. Mr.. Fiebig was
called after Il number of others had
given up the job and in half an hour
he had opened the door, doing so by
using the hole that the robbers had
drilled through the side, thereby out
doing the craftsmen at their own
game.
The robbers evidently took their
time at the work and gave it up af-
ter mature effort. They left with a
quantity of bottled goods and other
things of small value. In failing to
open the safe they missed getting the
sum of $500 in cash that was stored
there.

The above Associated Press dis
patch this afternoon indicates that
the threatened strike on the Rock
Island System has been averted and
that the men have practically secured
the object for which they have been
contesting, the increase i'm the wage
schedule for both freight and passcn-
ger conductors and trainmen. and the
incorporation of certain working
rules similar to those recently adopt
ed on other roads.
While details were not given out to-
day, doubtless because they have not
been fully ratified, il is reasonably
certain that the employees have gain
ed practically all they have asked for,
for the agreement that was signed by
them in advance gave the committee
little latitude in the negotiations.
The matter was to have been set
tied at conference yesterday, but
instead a meeting with the chief Off
GERS of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors and the Order of Railway Train
men for the arranging of prclimina-
rics was held by the grievance com

Rate War Imminent.
Western roads are on the verge of
Il serious passenger rate war. The
announcement of the intention of the
! Chicago Great Western to put in eff
| feet Il l.OOO-milc ticket at a Hat rate
of two cents mile has caused a mild
panic in railroad passenger circles, it
being admitted that such a move on
the part of The Great Western will be
the signal for clashing of rates.
The plan is President Stickney's
idea and his object seems to be not
only to advertise his new Omaha line
which will soon bc opened for bust
ness, but also to force some syndicate
which wants peace to buy his road.
Owing to the detection of the Great
Western there is no immediate pros
pect of the putting in effect the pro
posed interchangeable 2,OO0-mile re-
fund ticket, which. instead of reduc-
ing rates. would really mean an adj
vance. as these tickets could only bo
used by commercial travellers and
other people who have been getting
reduced rates by buying the mileage
