top prices.
—Another big farm saie is reported
from Jefferson, where J. W. Cade sold

the old Miles Davis homestead- Frank
Chase also reports sale o f Loyd Smith

—Piano dealers of Milwaukee have
started a movement against the puzzle,
guessing and other contests, wherein

looked the fact, in its last issue, that
Coon Valley had a newspaper, the Her

years. The Herald is a neatly printed

only well-wishes for the new candidate
for public favor. On the surface of
the Herald the Censor recognizes the
handiwork of Charley Bussell, another
old-time Viroqua print.

—Christmas and the holiday spirit
appears to pervade everything and
everybody just at this particular time.
The store and shop windows are best
evidence that holidays are near at hand,
for there is attraction and_ inspiration
at every place and turn. Viroqua deal
ers have taken extra pains to intro
duce unusual novelties and substantial
for the holiday season of 1910, and
there can be too reasonable excuse for
sending away for any character of ap
propriate present for the great festive
period, and the Censor hopes that there
will be no element of that abase.

Germs in
Her System
Every Woman Should Read
this Advice and the Gen
erous Offer that
Goes With It.
The number of diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of their names, and it is a fact
that most of these diseases, are of a
catarrhal nature. A woman cannot
be well if there is a trace of catarrh in
her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be a mistaken idea. We are so sure
of this that we offer to supply medi
cine absolutely free of all cost in every
instance where it fails to give satis
faction, or does not substantiate our
claims. With this understanding, no
woman should hesitate to believe our
honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to a test.
There is only one way to overcome
catarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use ail the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best. Catarrh in general is a
diseased condition of the system that
shows locally most frequently in dis
charges from mucous membranes. Lo
cal treatment should be assisted by
internal treatment for the general dis
eased condition if a complete cure is to
be reached. That internal treatment
should be scientifically devised and
faithfully administered.
Rexall Mucu-Tono is scientifically
prepared from the pcescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made catarrh his specialty. This rem
edy ia admirably adapted to the treat
ment of the catarrhal ailments of wo
men. It purifies and enriches the olood,
tends to stop mucous discharges, aids
in removing impurities from the sys
tem, soothes, heals and strengthens the
mucous tissues, and brings about a
feeling of health and strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefl'cd, or for any reason not
sat<-fled, simply tell us and we will
hand back your money. Rexall Mucu-
Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents and
SI.OO. Remember, you can obtain Rex
ail Remedies only at—The Rexall Store.
A. J. Johnson, Druggist.

VIROQUA, WISCONSIN, DECEMBER 14,1910
SUE MR.DAIL FOR ACCOUNTING
Racsiver far Trust Company Seek to
Recover $50,000
As an aftermath of the gigantic fail
ure of the Wisconsin Bluegra.-s Land
company, State Treasurer A. H. Dahl
and nis surety, the NationalSuiety Cos.,
has become defendant in a g.iri f n cir
cuit court started by Henry T. Sheldon,
as receiver for the Wisconsin Savings
Loan A Trust company of Hudson snd
others, involving an accounting for
securities valued at $5Q,000.
Mr. Dahl is charged with having
failed to comply with the terms of his
bond in that he surrendered to the Wis
consin Savings Loan & Trust Cos., the
securities on deposit with him before
all the depositors and creditors of the
company had been paid and before the
trust assumed by the company under
the bond issue of the Wisconsin Blue
Grass Land company had been faith
fully executed by it.
Complainants set forth that before
the commencement of the action a de
mand was made upon Mr. Dahl to turn
over to the receiver all of the securities
deposited with him but that he failed
to comply with the demand or to ac
count for any of the securities. The
attorney general also refused to insti
tute suit in the name of the state
against Mr. Dahl and the National
Surety company, according to the com
plaint.—Madison Journal.

blacksmith business for himself at
Cashton. He learned the trade in this
city and has worked at Westby for two
years past.
A crew of carpenters are engaged in
building railroad stock yards at Newry,

noise.
Christmas giving has longf been and
will probably continue a chief charac
teristic of the day’s observance. By
such means do love and friendship find
happy expression. But with it all let
us not forget the first great Christmas
gift, which came from the Father of
Lights with whom there is neither var
iableness nor shadow of turning—a gift
which is ours not only for all time Dut
for all eternity as well.

WHERE BIG MONEY GROSS GROW
Viroqua Man Returra From Tobacco Sec
tion. of Connecticut and New Yoik
On Sunday Mr. Frank P. Mclntosh
returned from three weeks in the east
in the interest of the tobacco firm
which he represents. He went to in
spect the crops in New York and pro
ductive Connecticut, the latter the most
remunerative tobacco section in the
United States. Mr. Mclntosh says he
saw more of the weed in a day’s ride
than ne could inspect in a week in Ver
non county. They grow the heavier
varieties, some of which sell for 35
cents in the bundle, while our variety
of cigar wrapper leaf commands there
12 to 16 cents. He declares that an
average of SSO per acre is used in artifi
cial fertilizers in Connecticut.
The Edgerton Reporter has this to
say about Wisconsin tobacco affairs:
“Wisconsin seems to be about the only
-cigar leaf producing state which falls
behind in its annual product iw 1910,
and while the decrease shows only
about seven million pounds according to
government estimates, the acutal fall
ing off in binder supply cuts an import
ant figure in the manufacturing trade.
The acreage in this state has been con
tinually dropping away for several
years "past, nor do the other binder
states make up the deficiency to any
great extent, so if the decline is con
tinued it is only a question of a short
time when the market will be strictly
up against it. providing the output of
manufactured goods holds to the pres
ent rate of increase. The outlook for
W isconsin growers the coming season
to secure good prices were never more
promising than at the present time.
The boards have been swept clean of
-ii old goods, the cigar factories are
continually increasing their output and
the call for good binder leaf must con
tinue to be pretty strong for a few
years to come. The time is right now
to think about raising more tobacco in
this state, rather than to cut down the
acreage. The suggestion ia put out
this early so our readers may watch de
velopments and note how near our pro
phecy comes true.”
The Dolan & Gunlach packing of to
bacco at Ferryville, has been sold to
Albert Solverson of Viroqua, for the P.
G. Borden Cos., who represent one of
the largest independent manufacturers
of smoking and plug tobacco, and are
ready to buy, especially so regarding
hail cut and otherwise damaged tobac
co. This is the same concern that
bought the Gays Mills packing of Equi
ty tobacco. 17118 cleans im the old to
bacco in Vernon and Crawford counties.

SMALL FALLING OFF IN POPULATION
Vernon County Census Gives Fewer Peo
ple Then Ten Yrare Ago
The federal census of Wisconsin has
just been announced and is shown to
have made a substantial gain in popu
lation over ten years ago, when the
last count was made. The increase in
the state is 264,818, and Wisconsinites
tally out at 2,333,860, and we are the
thirteenth state in population in the
union.
Vernon county shows a falling off
from ten years ago, when our people
numbered 28,461; now we have 28,116,
or a net loss of 275. The enumeration
by towns, cities and villages is not yet
made public. In this loss of population
we are not alone for our neighboring
counties show that Crawford loses 998,
Richland 664, Sauk 137, Juneau 1,110,
Jackson 391, Trempealeau 186. Nine
teen of the seventy-one counties of the
state show a decrease. Universally the
increases in counties are made in cities,
while the rural communities as invari
ably show losses.
The total population of the United
States i*93,402.151. This estimate does
not include the population of the Philip
pine islands, which, at the last census,
taken in 1903, was 7,635,426, so that
there ..re at present more than 101,-

Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Dake celebrated
the fifteenth anniversary of their mar
riage last Wednesday evnning at their
pleasant home in this village. In honor
of the occasion about a score of friends
and neighbors were invited to join them
in commemorating the event, which
will long be remembered by those pre
sent as a most enjoyable affaif. Dr.
and Mrs. Dake were married at New
ton, Vernon county, November3o, 1895,
and went to W’oodstock to make their
home. Some twelve years ago they
moved to Viola where the doctor has
established a fine practice of medicine
and with his family made many friends
and are counted as good substancial
citizens and neighbors in Viola. Four
children, one son and three daughters,
make the happy family circle. Dr. and
Mrs. Dake were the recipients of a
number of presents, among which were
some pieces of beautiful cut glass. —ln
