Three Chicago and Northwestern
Conductors.
QUEER STORY ABOUT SPOTTERS.
The Men Are Very Well Known in
Manitowoc.
DISMISSAL IS TO BE INVESTIGATED,
A Coincidence About the Pension System
Which Throws Some Light
On the Discharge.
Three conductors on the Chicago ami
Northwestern railn >ad were peremptori
ly discharged two weeks ago and the
news of their dismissal has Teen kept
reasonably secret. The men who wort
let out are William Cny. Henry Frick
and Edward Cleary. The three have
served the companv fur many years and
had reputations above reproach.
Guy and Frick are better known in
Manitowoc than Cleary, for the two
former did good service for the old Lake
Shore roa l. In railroad circles the dis
charge of the men is bitterly resented,
and it is rumored on good authority
that spotters were sent out from Chica
go for the purpose of tripping up some
of the men.
It seems a coincidence, however, that
the old employes should be singled out
for summary dismissal. It is well
known that the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railroad Cos., has recently adopted
the pension system which it. perforce,
would apply to tin* older hands. Every
man who has worked thirty-live years
for the company can be rigorously re
tired from its service Fidea and Guy
were reaching the period of the pension
era. but, now they are out in the cold.
A committee of conductors has the
alfairs of these men in their hands,

which there are severe here, to appeal

Appeals, before which it will be argued
in April. The property iu question j

CHLOUPEK AND
CRAITE THE MEN.
Nominated by Hie Democratic
County Convention.
WILL RUN FOR THE JUDGESHIP.
Republican Office Seekers Make Contest
Political.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE All. UNITED.
This Will be a Clean Campaign From the
Jeffersonian Viewpoint. The Fight
is now on.
It is generally admitle 1 that the Demo
cratic county convention, held in the
Court house last Saturday, was one of
the largest and most representative
gatherings of the party held in recent !
years. The judicial nominations made l
follow:
For County Judge , John Chloupek.
For municipal Judge Isaac Craite.
During the convention the utmost
harmony [prevailed and it was a forgone
conclusion as to who would be the
Democratic nominees. Three days be
fore the caucus! s were held Richard
Burke, whose name had been associated
with the nomination for the county
judgeship withdrew in favor of lie* sue- j
cessful it seems, however,
that Mr. Burke has some enfliuching
admirers who insisted in giving him a
complimentary vote. Mr. Burke was
pleased with this Haltering testimonial
of his worth, and realizing that his
friends hail supported him in the con
vention u-ked that Air. Chlonpek's
uominati >n be made unanimous. This
was done.
The convention organization was jer
fected by the election ot W. J. Wrieth
of Two Rivers, as chairman, ami Joseph
Z ihorik. of Franklin ;e secretary. A
committee on credentials consisting of
W. C. Maertz, Julius Lindstedt and
Henry Lehrmanu made favorable report
mi the delegates present and the real
business was taken up in the appoint
ment of J. F. Koeck and Richard Drews
as tellers.
Proceeding to an informal ballot for
nomination of a candidate for County
judge, the vote resulted as follows:
John Chloupek til)
Richard Burke 9
After the nomination of Mr. Chloupek
Secretary Zahorik was instructed to
casta ballot for the nomination of Isaac
Craite for municipal judge. This, too.
was done.
Mr. Chloupek thanked the convention
for honoring him. say ing that he inten
ded 11 * conduct a clean campaign as be
titting the office he was seeking. He
disclaimed any intention of daggling
the judgeship elect ion into ward polities,
arguing that the Republic ans had forced
tin* issue, compelling the Democrats to
put up a candidate.
Judge (Take gracefully ackm iwledged
the honor done him.
Chau man Nolan will conduct the
campaign.
WISCONSIN CENTRAL
RAILROAD MAY BE SOLI)
TO ILLINOIS CENTRAL,
The air is thick with rumors of gigan
tic railway deals ami combinations.
The most important of these is a report
that the Illinois Central has secured or
is about to secure control of the Wiscon
sin ('entral railroad.
It is claimed that certain large stock
holders of the Illinois Central have
bought privately a majority of the Wis
consin Central's preferred stock and are
assured of a controling interest in the
common. These purchases, it is claim
ed, wot.,il le turned into the Illinois
Central as a corporation, ami thus give
the latter a line from Ht. Paul to New
' hdenns.
The Wisconsin Central has been prac
tically controlled for some lime by .1. I’.
Morgan and the Rockefellers, says the
Chicago Tribune, in discussing the ru
mors, and it would not be bar! for llar
riman to obtain control of it. as both
Morgan and the Rockefellers are closely
identified with him in the community
ownership plan, and are pulling togeth
er in the Maine direction. It is not con
sidered probable, however, that the
Wisconsin Central would be made a
part of the Illinois Central, as the latter
has already a good system in the North
west, and finds an outlet to St. Paul
over the Minneapolis cV st Louis, which
it will probably absorb in the near fu
ture. It is considered more likely that
the Wisconsin Central will be made ul
timately a part of either the Great
Northern nr Northern Pacific railroads,
for which it would make a good outlet

MANITOWOC, WIS, MARCH 14, 1901,

The bill for separating th* Fourth
Judicial circuit, which emenim 1 from
Fond du Lac, was killed by tie Judici
ary committee of the assembly reap

committee that some relief mist be af

vey of the comparative facts a- relating
to tin* various circuits, it is shown that
the Fourth Judicial circuit is not only
greater in population than the .verage
circuits, but its property kite; t> and
its litigation far exceed those in other

Manitowoc county Republicans met in

the following nominations:

The convention met promptly at 2
o'clock, < 'minty ( iiainnan Ruckle iff pro
siding. Dr. J. R. Cnrrensof Two Bit
ers was chosen chairman, with E. J.
< )nstud as secretary. The chair imme
diately appointed a eoiiimittee on cre
dentials consisting of Frank Canright * f
tltis city. Win. Guetzlo of Kiel and
Emery Chase of Gibson. It was found
that the town of Liberty was not repre
sented at all. while several other towns
were only represented by a limited num
ber of delegates who east proxies. Eighty
one votes constituted the strength of t In*
convention. From tin* very start a lack
of interest was manifest except as it
burst Birth in the inharmonious wrangle
of the two factions. An informal ballot
for comity judge was taken first. which
clearlv showed Judge Anderson's
strength. In* receiving "mof tin*'•l votes.
But the Schmidt supporters wen* not
content w ith so easy a defeat ami a
motion was made by Mr. Westphal t**
proceed to a formal ballot, which
Ed. Nash, by an amendment wished to
avert, and succeeded in averting, by the
chair sustaining him in making the
ballot unanimous. The act of the chair
was a direct infringement on the rights
of the Schmidt supporters, causing a
serious rupture in the friendliness of ilie
two taction leaders indulging in s.-venil
caustic remarks, tending to increase tin*
bitterness existing between them.

it was recently compelled to withstand
