cred while pulling cork from a bottle

The increasing demand for the Mandt
wagon means the extension of the plant
and large increase in the force of me-
chanics employed. 275 men are now en-
ployed, the monthly pay roll amounting
to $4,000. e. r. Stephens, Vice presi-
dent and 2. NJ. Price, general manager
of the works, we're up from Moline, ILL.,,
on Monday to confer with Il. G. Lund,
local manager, outlining the work for
the new year. AS result of the consul
tation it was decided to increase the
force to $50 men. The output for the
year 1903 is estimated at $4,000 wagons,
with the usual large number of sIeigs,
bolster springs, etc. New buildings
must be erected and extensions made to
make room for the additional help. The
great plant means much to Stoughton.
The pay roll alone will amount to Sl75,-
600 per year.
The congregation of the First Luth-
eran church is just now in the midst of
discussions which, from present
indications, threaten to assume serious
considerable heat having
been generated by both factions. The
difficulty arose from the summary dis
charge of the assistant pastor, Rev. I. A.
Johanson, by Rev. T. Fl. Dahl, and as a
large number of the congregation had
become deeply attached to the young
preacher, these insisted on an explana-
ton from Rev. Dahl at a business meet
ing held at the church Tuesday evening.
This request would have been complied
with at the meeting but for the protest
Of Rev. Johanson that the statement be
made in writing, in consequence of which
an adjournment was taken until Tues
day, Jan. 9th, Rev. Dahl stating that
he would not be able to be present be-
lore then.
