Fashionable Event Of the Season.

Reno Novelty Company is coming to
Viroqua Opera house, Wednesday. Feb
ruary 10. The event will be one long TO
be remembered by all who attend. Reno
is certainly a wonderful magician. He
has no superiors and few equals. The
Pittsburg News says: Prof. Reno and
his Novelty Company at the Fifth Ave.
theatre last week, was the fashionable
event Of the season. On Thursday night
seats sold at premium. Reno is equal
to the old original Hermann. That is
the voice of the entire press Of the coun.
try, wherever the company fas appear
ed No money or time has been spared
to make the company one OF the best on
the road and the patrons can certainly
be promised great treat in the amuse-
ment line. In conjunction with Renos
beautiful work many specialties are in
troduced among which is Mr.. Wade. the
marvellous juggler, who was the talk of
New York City. One would think ii
impossible to do with a pair of hands
what this great artist accomplishes. He
is rightly named the emperor of jug
glers Also the world renowned school
Of trained dogs and birds that never fail
to please both old and young All in all
the entire program is one of beauty and
completeness. Don't forget the date
Wednesday, February 10. Seats will be

EcKHARDr WILL SETTLE MATTERS.
Re Is Appointed Receiver to Close Up Affairs Of the
0.d Bank Of yiroqua

With the death of W. F. Lindemanu
came something of complication in
closing up the financial affairs of the
Lindemann- Rusk banking corporation.
whose charter expired year ago Till
the date of his death Mr. Lindemann
looked after those matters. On applica-
tion of interested parties, Judge Fruit
appointed Mr.. Fred Eckhardt to COM
plete settlement of the old partnership
matters He has qualified and will i'm
mediately enter upon his duties. He
will have two years by law to complete
the settlement, but hopes to have things
adjusted very much sooner, Mr.. Eek
hardt is a first class choice and every
interest viii besecure in his hands. The
assets of the old bank are several times
the liabilities.
The CENSOR is advised that there has
been a little confusion in some quarters
concerning this matter many taking it
for granted that rec eiver has been ap-
pointed for the new Bank of Viroqua
There is no connection between the two
cogcerps and there is absolutely no cause
for uneasiness on part of any person
having dealings or accounts with either
The same even, conservatism SO char
acteristic with Mr.. w. +. Lindemann
during his whole business career is
being pursued by his sons, who were
partners with him in the business.

of freight received each day of the year,
hauled from La Crosse and Stoddard,

Coon Valley, and there would be an en-
ormous amount of farm produce shipped
out. / believe the time is at hand when
La Crosse, Viroqua. Westby, Coon Val

combine and do all in their power to
procure an electric railroad from Viro-
