Five Milwaukee short line conductors dismissed amid reform move
The five conductors on the Milwaukee short line were permanently removed and replaced by new men. Pinkerton detectives will handle ticket collection while the new conductors run trains. Dissatisfied veterans, longtime employees, say the discharge harms reputations though they had no theft chance. Additionally a Yankton Women’s Christian Temperance Union petition for prostitution regulation was deemed unnecessary by city officials. Boschee’s German Syrup is advertised as a remedy for coughs and lung troubles, priced 75 cents a bottle.
