EdgertOn Machine Works to Stay in
EdgertOr.

Every industry added and every in
dustry retained is always beneficial to
the up-building of city. While we
are not crowded with manufacturing
establishments, yet we have some in
Stitutions of that nature here that all
have mutual interest in seeing pros
per. One is the Edgerton Machine
Works, owned by F. P. Carrier. For
some time past large manufacturers of
other cities have had an eye on the
plant here, watching its development
in the way of building the gasoline en-
CINE, which Mr.. Carrier designed and
patented, and is now building and put
ting on the market. Recently Madi-
son firm offered Mr.. Carrier liberal
inducement to remove to that city,
which would undoubtedly have been &C
copied had not enterprising citizens got
wind of the deal and Immediately set
about to furnish working capital suf-
ficient to keep the plant in Edgerton.
That was a good move, and may be the
means of Edgerton having manufac-
turing plant giving employment to hum
dreds of hands. Nearly all of the large
establishments about us started on
small scale, and gradually grew to what
they are today. For instance, the Full
Ter & Johnson Co. at Madison, the
Baker Manufacturing Co. at Evans
vile, the Fairbanks, Morse Co. of Be-
lott. What reason have we to suppose
that the Carrier plant may not do like
wise?
The information regarding the move
to keep the Edgerton Machine Works
here was furnished US by the president
of the Advancement association, Mr..
Henry Johnson. And this leads US to
remark that the officers of the Ad-
vancement association are not sleeping
80 soundly that even ripping move to
take our industries a way can not be
heard by them.

Suicide of a Stoughton Man.

Alone in his home two miles east of
Stoughton, William Wettleson, bach
elor, took his life Sunday by shooting
himself through the body. With %
calibre revolver lying by his side, his
body was found at three o'clock in the
afternoon. Murder at first was sus-
pected on account of the position of
the body, but later it was judged that
he probably fell in the position found
after he had shot himself.
Wettleson was As years old and lived
on thesold Gregg farm. He had long
been regarded as of unsound mind.

Base Ball Season Closes.

Il
Even the GAINESVILLE Trolley League
team with their hired players from
Wisconsin and Illinois could not defeat
the Giants. And they played men last
Sunday that helped down the Cubs of
Chicago in the Beloit game. Barring
the sixth inning when the Trolley
Leaguers fell apart and let the Giants
score nine times, it was by far the best
i, game of the season. The Trolley League
scored one in the first and one in the
fifth, and the Giants two in the first
and nine in the sixth, the rest of the
innings were ball playing all the time.
Pitcher Short had IL strikeouts, walked
and allowed 2 hits; Rowland for
GAINESVILLE had strikeouts, gave 3
walks and allowed II hits.
, About four hundred persons were on
the ground to see the game and despite
the chilly weather all stayed to the fin
ism. 1t was the last one of the season,
and perhaps that's what made it seem
the best.
The Giants have played 25 games this
season, won 18 and lost Z. In the "a
I games which Short. pitched heeis cred
tied with 264 strikeouts, or an average
/, of II to the game, while the hits off
him only average to the game. Be-
sides being one of the best pitchers in
the state, his fielding is worthy of men
ton. The Giants are unquestionably
the best team ever gotten together in
Edgerton, and that is saying some.
AS to the character and general
makeup of the boys as ball players, no
one is in better position to Judge than
the manager, and Henry Schmeling has
a good word to say for every man on
the team. With the closing of the sea-
son, he says it has been one of pleasure
to. him. The attendance. at the games
has been very satisfactory, and if it be
his good fortune to manage the Giants
another season, Athletic Park will be
put in shape so that patrons will be
made more comfortable. The diamond
will be shifted, an amphitheater pro-
vided and only good teams booked.
With this assurance, we will rest until
the winters snow and ice have come
and gone and the Giants bloom again.
