Old Employees Of Chicago
and Milwaukee Being Dis
charged by Receiver.
CLAIM EXCUSES ARE TRIVIAL

The Chicago s. Milwaukee Electric
Railroad officials are said to have dis
charged more employees of late than at
any time in the history of the road.
AS result it is claimed that large
number of the employees at the present
time are new and inexperienced men.
Many of the men are said to have
been discharged as result OF the
work of "spotters who are said to
have discovered that the men were
somewhat "careless in the way they
handled the cash that comes into their
hands. These suspected employees were
called upon the carpet and given sum-
mary discharges. At least four or six
are reported to have been discharged
only few days ago.
Apparently the company places these
spoilers on their cars only at different
periods This is done, it is said, in
order that the suspected men may not
suspect anything. The work of the
spoilers appears to have been very
satisfactory If the number of dis
charges count for anything.
Within the last few weeks some of
the oldest employees of the road have
lost their positions. Some of these
have quit because of the attitude that
has been assumed by some of the head
officials. In one instance one of the
oldest employees quit because he was
called upon the carpet to explain why
he had neglected to ring up 5 cent
fare, although it is said he/ turned
the money in for it.
He declared that he was not sure
whether or not he had rung up the fare
and did not like the idea of ringing it
up twice. Despite the fact that he
was one of the Oldest and most eff
fcient employees on the line he lost his
position as the officials appeared glad
to receive his resignation.
Patrons Of the road and the public in
general declare that the practice of
the officials of discharging their old
employees upon the most trivial excuses
is to be condemned as the new men
cannot be expected to do their work
as efficiently and accidents are more
liable to occur.

MILWAUKEE, COMPANY LEADING
Sale To Be Closed Up At Racine And
Waukegan on Wednesday and Plans
Of New Owners Will Probably be
Made Public at Once.


Cars of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway may yet run through
the principal streets Of Kenosha as it
Is declared that the Milwaukee COM
pany, owners Of the Kenosha lines and
of the M. r. and K, are to make a
hard fight to secure possession of the
property with view of making the
south portion of the line from Keno
sha to Evanston an outlet for the In
terurban line owned by that company.
If the Milwaukee company gets the
Chicago and Milwaukee all plans in
regard to the M. R. and K. would be
changed and the question of an out
let for the road from Milwaukee to
Chicago would be solved. 1t is prob
able that in case of the purchase no
change would be made in the operation
of the through trains of the Chicago
and Milwaukee line and that this line
would be used largely as a through
line between Chicago and Milwaukee,
but it would also open a route for caTs
from the M. r. and K. line to run
through from the Public Service Build
ings in Racine and Kenosha.
The sale of the road is scheduled to
take place in Waukegan and Racine
tomorrow and the outcome of it is be-
ing watched with lot of interest,
il the property goes to the syndicate
recently organized by Samuel insult
it is understood that the through line
on the west limits of the cities of Ike
nosha, Racine and Waukegan will
ultimately become part of the sys-
TENS of the Chicago City Railway
Company and that in case this COM
pany secures the lines through cars
viii be run from the loop in Chicago
to the heart of Milwaukee.
The insult company is said to be
limited in the amount that it can pay
for the lines and it is possible that the
powerful Milwaukee syndicate will
outbid it. There are so many strings
to the order of the court providing for
the sale of the lines that it is probable
that even after the sale is made that
there will be a lot of litigation before
the property is turned over to the pur-
chasers. The receivers of the company
have made many contracts in the past
two years and it is understood that
every one of these contracts must be
made part of the sale and accepted
by the purchasers.
Claims against the company will in
mo way be affected by the sale of the
line as the court order strictly pro-
vides that all claims against the road
during the period that it has been in
the hands of the receivers must be as.
sumed by the purchasers.

FIRE AT KEMPER HALL.
Blaze in tCottage to the Rear of Main
Building Does Slight Damage.

The fire department was called out
just before midnight Saturday night
on account of small fire in one of
the buildings on the kemper Hall
property. The building located just
east of the college building is used as
a sleeping place for some of the en-
ployees. The FIRE started in the base
ment Of the building which had been
used as paint shop. It is supposed to
have been caused by spontaneous com
bustion. The flames spread rapidly
and the building was badly scorched
before they were under control. The
top of a big reservoir filed with tur-
pentine was burned off, but the turpen-
tine did not explode. The loss on the
building was adjusted this morning at
$3.50.

KAISER TAKES A
BABY CORONET
Anna GouId'S Youngest Son No
PrinCe-AmeriCan Duchess
Deceived by Husband.

PARIS. Aug. 2S-A stunning blow
has been struck the pride Of Anna Gould
Castellane de Talleyrand. She has just
discovered that her little de Talley-
rand son is not a prince and never
will be and to aggravate the cruel dis
coyery she now knows the deception
that has been practiced on her by her
own husband. 1t has just been ascer-
tanned beyond all doubt that the title
Of Prince de Sagan has ceased to exist.
II came from the fef or duchy of Sa
gan in Silesia This ief. or territory,
was held from the king on condition of
the holder doing military service. The
German emperor is the legal guardian
Of all holding such territory and hence
was guardian of the Duke de Talley-
rand.
Several limitations were given the
duke that he was non persona grata.
His father, the late Prince de Sagan.
had trouble with the emperor and this
was aggravated when de Talleyrand
stepped into the princes shoes. De
Taleyrand wouldn't take the hint to
sell out. and finally such pressure was
brought to bear upon him that he had
to accept the offer of Germany. The
de Sagan territory passed into the pub
lie domain. and the title Of Prince de
Sagan was wiped out forever.
Kaiser Responsible.
For this the kaiser is responsible as
guardian over the petty princes of his
empire. In order to save his face, de
Taleyrand gave out that for financial
reasons he bad transferred the title to
his son and heir This is the tale he
gave the public, and this is the story
he told the duchess.
She was delighted that her favorite
son should be a prince. Even from in
fancy the princely coronet was put on
his shirts, his bed his baby carriage
his everything. Now the CHASTITY truth
comes out that as the title came from
territory it disappeared with it. and the
duchess knows that her youngest son is
neither prince nor duke. He Is sim
