The Earle Tobacco Co. is new cor
poration formed in Edgerton recently
that has filed articles of Incorporation
with the secretary of state. T. B.
Earle, Allan T. Earle and Martin Mel
son are named as the incorporators
with an authorized capital of $4,000.
The company is formed to handle the
Wisconsin stemming business for Bloch
Bros, Wheeling, w. Va, manufacture
ers.
Believing the payroll for the week to
be reposing in the safe, burglars last
week effected an entrance to the cigar
factory of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. at
Boyertown, Pa, and with the aid of
nitroglycerine blew open the safe, from
which they extracted 5000 in cash and
5000 worth of cigar stamps. The theft
is the second which has taken place
within the past year, the first when
robber, having solved the combination,
succeeded in getting away with $500.

Rural Carriers to Get $1,000.

The rural mail carriers throughout
the country are rejoicing over their in
crease of salary which will go into eff
feet July 1, 1914. After that date their
compensation will be $1,000 year. This
salary may not be as attractive as one
might imagine, for the reason that it
is not all clear gain. The carrier has
to support at least two horses and keep
his vehicles in repair. The present in
crease in salary was due to the large
amount of mail matter caused by the
parcel post. Postmasters are also bur-
dened with the handling of more mail
matter, but thus far their salary has
not increased, but in many offices de-
creased in proportion to the amount OF
mail handled.

More Road Machinery Ordered by
County.

At the meeting of the Rock county
board of supervisors last week an ap-
preparation was voted to purchase three
road scarifers, four stone crushing out
fits, screening bins, gas engine, pump
ing outfits and road sprinklers for the
use of the county highway commits
sioner.
A proposition for aid to the Evans
vile and GAINESVILLE fair associations
was voted down by vote of 80 to 5.
New boilers were ordered for the
court house at an expense of $500.
The revised petition from the Edger-
ton council, outlining the city streets
which they sought to have placed on
the county highway system in order to
secure county aid, was turned down at
the board session Friday by vote of
Fl to II. The petition which was pre-
sented to the board at the January ses-
sion, and which was passed, provided
for the Incorporation of certain streets
in the system but did not extend them
far enough to connect with county
highways at the limits of the city as
is required under the law. The amend
ed petition contained such provision,
but the opposition to building state aid
roads in incorporated cities has devel-
oped since the last meeting Of the
board so that the matter was lost.
Before adjourning Friday afternoon
the county board of supervisors pre-
sented to Miss Mabel C. Lee, deputy
county clerk, a set of dozen sterling
silver spoons and two dessert spoons in
honor of her engagement to H. B. Mos
ley, town of Beloit, the newly elected
chairman of the county board. Super
visor Marshal P. Richardson made the
presentation speech.

Blood Hounds Brought Here to Trace
Thieves

Friday night G.. H. Hitchcock's jew
|elry store was broken into and seven
watches and about 20 rings selected
from the stock in the showcases, val
ued at about $3.50. Entrance was Sc
cured by breaking window in the
rear, and unlocking the back door in a
getaway. The thief had discriminate
ing mind and took but seven of an even
dozen of watches that Mr.. Hitchcock
had failed for the first time in leaving
out of his safe. AS near as he can de-
termine, nothing else was taken. The
next morning after the discovery of
his loss Mr.. Hitchcock telephoned Be-
lott and Officer McCauley of the police
force came up with two blood hounds,
owned by the department, and an eff
fort was made to trail the robbers.
The dogs were taken to the rear of the
store where back stairs lead to the
upper stories occupied by several ten
ants. They first followed trail about
Hall mile uOIC III VI COWlI, Which, p1ON-
ed to be a blind one. They were then
taken back to the starting point where
a new scent was picked up and follow
ed out of town to the race track and
thence to the railroad track and then
led McCauley directly to stoughton and
to the lower yards at the wagon works
to point where some empty freight
cars had stood that morning until they
were pulled out. Here the hounds sig
nifed by whining that they had lost the
scent and the hunt was given up and
the dogs and men were returned by
autos that had followed them into
stoughton.
The two hounds, says Officer McCau-
ley, were bought about two years ago
by the members of the Beloit police
force, and have proven extremely use
full.
No clue has since developed that
would throw any light upon the identity
of the burglars. If the hounds were
on the right trail of the thieves, they
had ample time to get out of Stoughton
by train and beyond discovery by after
noon.
