A New Factory for EdgertOn.

Through the efforts of the business
men of this city Edgerton seems in a
fair way to secure a vehicle manufact-
uring plant. At preliminary meeting
held week ago the projecr was can
vassed and thought to be so feasible
that a subscription list was started and
something like 500, 900 has been secured
for a corporation to manufacture We
hicles. At another meeting held on
Monday evening it was decided to in
corporate with $50, 900 capital, the COM
mittee on subscriptions were continued
and another to prepare bylaws was
named. So far no stock subscription
for less than $500 has bee solicited but
lesser amounts can be taken. The
proposition is meeting with great favor
as everyone comedies that. Edgerton
needs more establishments for the
steady employment of labor. The,
present indications are that the plant
will be located in the old factory build
ing near the water works station which
with some additions can be made to
answer the purpose for the time being.
1t is anticipated that Mr.. Nels Hal
version, superintendent of the Slough
ton Wagon Co. and the owner of sew.
eral valuable patents, will be actively
engaged in the enterprise and take
charge of the manufacturing end of the
business. Every public spirited citizen
is expected to get behind the project
and push.

An order issued by the postoffice
department relieves rural carriers from
collecting loose coins from mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in an en-

stamps attached to their mail. This is
second time the department has warned
the public against leaving loose coins in

The creamery at Indian Ford, own
ed by F. Maidens, took fire and was
totally destroyed Monday night. Par
ties living in the neighborhood going
home from Edgerton about II o'clock
discovered the fire coming out of the
roof, after reaching the hill on the 9TH
err side of the river and turned back.
When they arrived on the scene the en-
tire building was a mass of flames and
nothing could be done to prevent it
burning to the ground. Mr.. Maidens
carried an insurance of $4,000 in five
companies, of which $115O was on the
building. The loss however, will ex-
coed the insurance by quite sum.

Stoughton Wants Training School.

Now that the county board has de-
cided to establish a county training
school, Stoughton has a fair chance to
secure the same by offering a liberal
inducement in the shape of the south
side school building, of which at pres
ent only one room is occupied. This
proposed school is for the purpose of
furnishing adequate training for teach
ers in the country districts, and such
training, Prof. Banting and other edu-
Gators insist, is greatly needed. There
are at present % such schools through
out the state, and as far as known,
they are accomplishing excellent re-
suits. The grant of the south side
building for this place would not dis
place the grade now being taught there
as a class of about 80 children is need
ed, and it would actually save us hiring
one teacher. County Superintendent
AmeS estimates that the attendance at
the training school would be between
rs and 100, and perhaps more, and for
their instruction would be required a
principal and two assistants. In order
to make a formal offer of the building
for this purpose, it will be necessary to
hold a special school meeting, but it is
not thought that there will be any OPP
position to such proposal, as it unques-
tionably would prove a material benefit
to the city. The locating of the school
rests with the county board. Slough
