The very clever fellows who visited
Viroqua several weeks ago and took a
large number of subscriptions for De
Lestre's Minneapolis magazine, with
the agreement that the same would CON

it's officials and many prominent citizens,

requisition, from Minnesota, by Sheriff
Ericsson and Deputy Abner Siihaugh
The names Of the oily tongued gents are
T. l. Webster and f. G. McNally, of
Winona. They were arrested in Min
nesota on complaint Of Publisher De
Lestle, who says they have greatly
crippled his publication by their false
representations here and elsewhere.
When the officers went for them they
were in Preston Jail, but were released
by order of the prosecuting attorney be-
cause the laws of that state are so leni
cnt that adequate punishment could not
be meted out. Alderman A. d. Helge-
son. one Of the victims Of the schemers,
made the complaint The preliminary
hearing opened before Justice McMich-
ael Saturday afternoon and continued
late that night and nearly all day Mon
day. District Attorney Bennett prose

It is very hard to stand idly by and see
our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany On. W
dairyman called at drug store there
for doctor to come and see his child,
then very sick with Group. Not finding
the doctor in, he left word for him to
come at once on his return. He also
bought bottle Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which he hoped would give
some relief until the doctor should ar
rive In few hours he returned, saying
the doctor need not come. as the child
was much better The druggist. Mr..
Otto Scholz, says the family has since
recommended Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy to the neighbors and friends until
he had a constant demand for it from
that part Of the country. For sale by

Old Postoffices Discontinued.

The government officials have notified
the postmasters at Manning and Kicka-
poo, that after March 31st those offices
viii be discontinued. We know not
why this was done, but it is certainly an
imposition ON the patrons of those Offices,
causing them to go several miles for
their mail Why should they be de-
prived of mail service they have en-
joyed for over 40 years while in many
other places the farmers have their mail
delivered daily at their doorsP IL the
government can spend thousands of dol
lars in keeping up these free deliveries
they could certainly continue those
offices and supply them as they do now,
even if the railroad will not supply them

DOES WORK OF FIVE GIRLS
Dahl's New Tobacco Asserting Machine on
Trial-What the Madison Journal
Says of il.

Mr.. Berent Dahl, of Viroqua has a
tobacco leaf 81 ting machine of his own
invention ON trial at the Baines ware
house in this city If sdoes what he says
Will, 1t will put many a young woman
out of the tobacco leaf sizing machine of
his haps by doing this incidentally solve
the servant girl problem The machine
is very simple and inexpensive and will
size as much leaf as five people will by
hand. AS far as it has been developed
by the inventor now it will size. on an
average, 600 pounds day A good
sorter by aand win only handle i25 TO
200 pounds. Mr.. Dahl says he expects
to get his machine up to capacity of
1000 pounds The trouble at present is
that the machine does not tie the bunch
or ''hand" of sorted leaves SO at present
itrequires two persons to operate it,
one TO feed and one to tie.
The machine does not sort leaves
but only sizes them. To sort"
means 10 put leaves Of the same quality
and color. as well as the same length, to-
gether Mr.. Dahl says sadly that no
machine is Judge of quality. 1t only
puts leaevs of the same length together.
The mcahine's dimensions are some
thing like 10 feet in length and Il feet
in width. 1t is composed of set of
wooden pulleys and canvas belts on
wooden frame. 1t is run by an electric
motor, 1t will sort leaves into IA piles,
ranging in length from IA to 26 inches
There .are seven canvas belts moving
on horizontal plane, which carry them
to canvased sets of rollers running at
right angles to the belts. These rollers
whisk the leaves into hoppers with.
beveled bottoms at the back of the ma
chine The leaves then slide down this
incline and are tossed by other rollers
into their respective bins where they
are tied up into hands" and then the
hands of the same size are tied into bun
dies Today is the second day his ma
chine has been in operation in the ware
house, He runs the machine himself
and get the regular price of other em-
ployes for the work done go cents per
hundred pounds 1t is not very elab-
crate affair Manufacturers say they
can turn them out for $35. What it
would sell on the market for Mr.. Dahl
does not know. Mr.. Dahl said today
that the Fuller q johnson works of this
city will probably be the manufacturers
if it proves a success The best record
the machine has yet made is sizing /, ,03S
pounds in one day. Only one-sixth of a
horse power motor is used to run it and
Mr.. Dahl thinks that would run another.

To which the CENSOR says amen
most emphatically. There appears to
be no good reason for discontinuing the
offices. If mail service is to be re-estab-
lished on the Kickapoo road at the ex-
pense of discontinuing the Manning and
Kickapoo offices, the postoffice depart
ment ought not to lend its influence to
it. The injustice to the people of that
section is apparent. The matter should
speedily be corrected, and the patrons of
those offices will not rest till it is accom-
plished

DRAWING COLOR LINE.

Santiago. de Cuba, October "a. The
departure of the provincial delegate to
participate in the proceedings Of the
forthcoming constitutional convention at
Havana, caused an immense demonstra-
ton this afternoon. It is estimated that
they were escorted to the wharf by up
wards of twelve thousand persons, of
whom nine-tenths were. eolored people.
The political parties are drawing the
color line very closely and this is causing
bitter feeling between the races. The
whites predict that the convention will
last year, alleging that most of the
delegates will prefer $500 a month to the
establishment of a Cuban Republic.
