A SLIPPERY TALE.

A chamber maid in one of Wausau's
leading hotels found a note containing
the following pinned to pillow case in
one of the rooms last Saturday. The
slip was very much disfigured from
long usage and looked as if it had been
doing Merry Widow waltz with a
gang saw. The occupant of the room
the night before evidently dreamed that
he was Memo being kidnapped by the
handsome princess. His head got
tangled in the torn pillow case and he
wrote the following
GOOD kind lady, pardon u.s.
But this is something that should not was
I've travelled the U. S. through
And even been in Merrill too,
But never saw in all my trips
A slip that slips like this slip slips.
Suppose l sup few Schlitz slops
Then flop on the slip that's slit with slots,
Between the SehlitZ slops, hops and Sits,
I'm liable to get about forty fits,
SO kindly get needle and thread.
Sew it up, and no more will be said"
The chamber maid carried the note
to the landlady, as the occupant of the
room afterwards ascertained, and she
directed that new pillow slips be put or
the bed.

vIRooUA BAND is MUSTERED IN.
Boys Take Oath That Makes Them Part
Of Wisconsin National Guard.

Through simple but impressive cere-
monies, the Viroqus Band became an
organization of the past, &Gd was offici-
ally and legally made the Third Regi-
ment Band at the high school building
last Saturday night. After several en-
Joyable selections by the band, the
muster roll was signed, and Col. r. B.
Mccoy of Sparta administered the oath
that made the band part of the Wis
consin National Guard. Other officers
of the guard present at the ceremonies
were: Major Charles Williams of Camp
Douglas, Lieutenant Fred Foster OF
Sparta, Col. o. G. Munson, Chaplain
Buffers ard Lieutenant VIM. Trow-
bridge of this city and Sergt. Robert
Merrill of Sparta. After the muster
ing in the band and several frienis of
the band and business men of the city
enjoyed banquet and smoker at Ma
sonic hall. where stories, talks and
music furnished entertainment for the
evening. Col. Mccoy gave the band
much information regarding the po-
sition they are about to assume in the
Third regiment, and gave them sound
advice that was appreciated by the
boys who are mostly uniformed as to
their duties at the annual encampment.
Col. Mccoy is confident the Viroqua
boys will make good in the regiment,
and expressed himself as well pleased
that Viroqua captured the plum at the
recent contest in Milwaukee.

Easter a Beautiful Day.

Easter Sunday was fittingly observed
in Viroqua this year, the various church
es holding suitable services commemo-
rating the day. Students and relatives
from out Of town assembled at The
parental homes 10 spend the dag.
Dame nature was at her best, and the
weather MAJ made the best provisions
in his power TO make The day an en-
joyabIe one. Never in the history Of
Easter can we remember Of more
delightful day as far as the elements
were concerned. "What beautiful
weather" was the expression heard on
every hand; everybody enjoyed the
warm sunshine in drives and walks
about the city.

A BETTER TOWN is TIE SLOGAN.
virOqua Can and Should be the Model
City Of Wisconsin.

The CENSOR desires to give a word
of approval to the determination of the
city council and purpose of VirOuua
citizens IN general looking to improved
conditions in appearance and for health
fullness.
One of the essentials to a beautiful
and slightly town is regularity and
uniformity in planting and preserva-
tion of shade trees on all residence
streets. The council has taken the
initiative in this by the passage of an
ordinance looking to that Improvement.
Let it be enforced. Citizens should
work unitedly to carry out the work so
well inaugurated by our city fathers.
Nothing can add more to the attractive
ness of street or town than fine
rows of trees, uniform in size, kind and
setting. The ordinance as to distances
from lot line and space apart should be
observed.
A late adopted ordinance provides
that owners occupants of lots or lands
in the city used for dwellings or busi-
ness places, abutting on streets or al
leys, shall keep clean the sidewalks,
cutters or alleys to the center thereof,
and also one-half of the width of said
streets. They shall remove from their
premises rubbish of any and every ma
ture. The marhal and street commits
sioner are instructed to see that the
ordinance is strictly complied with.
May first is designated as street clean
ing day." On that day the city will
provide teams TO cart away rubbish
piled and gathered from the streets,
but not that taken from back yards
In addition to the moves made by the
city council it is hoped that they will
take the necessary steps to clean up
some of the unsightly and filthy va
cant lots and back yards. A little labor
and money spent in the right direction
will accomplish much. Every dollar
ussd in carrying out the above sugges-
tion will increase the value of the pro
perty by hundred fold as we'll as all
other property in the vicinity.

NEW COUNCIL NOW REIGNs.
Our Old Fathers Adjourn Sine Die on
Monday Night.

The new members OF the city council
took their seats at the regular meeting
last night. The old council held brief
session on the previous evening, finished
up the business necessary, and adj
jouFned sine die.
The new members are Frank Min
shall of the First Ward and C. Z.
Chase of the Third ward
Mayor Chase announced his selection
of committees as follows:
Finance-Smith, Garrett Minshall
Electric Lights Garrett. Helgeson Parker
Streets Minshall. Helgeson. Chase
Water Helgeson Parker Garrett.
Public Property Chase, Minshail, Smith.
Alderman j. +. Parker was elected
president of the council. Several ordi-
nances of some Importance will be taken
Gp for consideration on some near day,
one of them being an ordinance regu-
lating and directing the planting of
shade trees. The season has become
so far advanced that it was thought
impractical t. enforce anything along
the shade three lire this year, but uni
formity is desired and an ordinance will
soon be drafted to compel property
owners to plant certain varieties.

Boy Seriously il Not Fatally Injured.

On the morning of April l4th the son
of George Jones, eight years old, who
lives on Pleasant Ridge, was frightfully
kicked by colt while playing in the
barn lot. The little fellow was trying
to put bell upon one of tine calves
but against this adorument the little
critter raised objections, and in its
effort TO get away dragged the boy too
close to the heels of a colt, which, prob
ably surprised at the unusual procedure
or desiring TO join in the sport, yigor-
ously kicked, both feet striking the boy
in the back of head. The skull is badly
shattered and the chances for recovery
are slight. DIR. Henika was called and
assisted by DIR. Trowbridge of Viroqua,
performed very delicate surgical OPP
Grafton, removing a large portion Of
the skull about two and half inches in
diameter.
DIR. Henika says that if no eompli-
cations set in the little fellow has some
chance of recovery, although the chance
is apparently slight Readstown Tri-

Fire Consumes Farm Buildings.

A new barn, the old barn and a one
hundred foot tobacco shed on the Will
Edwards farm, south of town, burned
last evening. The fire started from the
explosion of lantern in the barn at
about half past seven, the flames catch
ing in some hay and chaff. Nearly all
of the farm machinery, including new
surrey, several tons of hay, one hog
and a COW and calf were, in the barn
and burned. The burning buildings
gave the alarm to the neighbors and
about 100 promptly responded, but the
barns and shed were too far gone, and
all effort was directed toward saving
the house, which was not far distant
from the other buildings. The neigh
bors formed a pail brigade and pre-
vented the house from cacthing fire from
the sparks and einders.
The total loss is estimated at from
$2500 to $4,000 with insurance to the
amount of $500.
