CHARGED WITH FRAUD.

The Ideal Portrait Co., of Milwaukee.
whose agent was in this city several
months ago taking orders for the
enlargement of photographs, have been
arrested for fraud. 1t appears that the
agent collected 80 cents with each order
and promised to duplicate from the
photograph an enlarged portrait FREE
and furnish frame to cost $3.50 the
SO cents to be part payment on the
frame. Since July 25th, the time set
for all frame orders to be placed with
said company, trouble has been brewing
because the company were not willing
to fulfill their contract. In every
instance they retained the photographs
in their possession and sent catalogues
of frames ranging from s. to So and
insisted that they should order from
this, also requiring another payment
with the order. OF course this was not
according to agreement and the people
would not stand it.
1t is about time that the people who
live in the rural districts catch on to the
idea that they never can get something
Cor nothing. Remember that you must
pay for what you get and when a man
represents that he is going to give you
something for nothing that he is only
laying the foundation to defraud you.
Beware of agents of all kinds unless
they represent frIns of good standing
and well known, who are responsible.
We understand that many orders
were taken in this city and those wish
ing to get back their photographs may
do so by sending the number of their
certificate with address and enclosing
two cent stamp to the postmaster at
Milwaukee.

Cholera infantum has lost its terrors
since the introduction Of Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy.
When that remedy is used and the
treatment as directed with each bottle
is followed, a cure is certain. Mrs.
Fanny Lauderdale, of Rock, Pope Co.,
H., says it cured her baby Of cholera
infantum and she thinks saved its life.
A. W. Walter; a prominent merchant
at Waltersburg, H., says it cured his
baby boy of cholera infantum after
several other remedies had failed. The
child was so low that ''he seemed almost
beyond the aid Of human hands or reach
Of any medicine" but Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhma Remedy
cured him. % and 30 cent bottles for
sale by W. L. Wood.

ANOTHER PAPER MILL.


The above company's pulp mill has
been shut down for the past thirty days
for the purpose of making several i'm
pOrtant improvements. Mr.. VIM.
Brown with a large crew Of men has
been replacing the wing dam, which
gives the above company its water pow
er, by building fir5t-class dam IN its
stead They have also taken out the
old guard-lock and built a new one,
again as large as the former. They have
also put in a new rack in front of the
pulp mill, and otherwise improved their
property.
They are now busy blasting through
solid granite rock so as to lower their
tail-race. They are also adding at the
lower side of their pulp mill a large
hume. 12x40, for the purpose of placing
IA new water wheel which will be used
in running the paper mill this company
will soon put in. Mr.. HOskinson in
formed the writer that he thought work
6n the new mill would commence this
fall
A irst-class paper mill Will be put i'll
FOR the manufacture of news and man
lila paper. The additional expense to
put in the paper mill VIII require an
outlay of about 900.
Who says the twin cities are not wax
ing up to the advantages offered by our
excellent water power Let the good
work continue.

EXCELLENT QUOTATIONS.

''Children have more need Of models
than of critics"
'God made men upright; but they
have sought out many Inventions"
''The measure of a mans charity
should be his ability to extend help to
those in need"
''Hit sinner in the church, and you
will be sure to upset an outsider who is
leaning against him."
''It is but the poisonous weeds, not
the flowers, that we should root out
from the garden of Mnemosyne."
Across the years we might have min
utes creep, and damn them till their
age is not attained. So ACROSS the
kinder, greater nature, little words Of
misery come to warp the elimination of
great matter.
''Contented, unambitious people are
all very we'll in their way. They form
neat, useful background for great
portraits to be painted against; and
they make a respectable, if not particu-
larly intelligent audience for the active
spirits of the age to play before. ]
have not a word to say against contented
people so long as they keep quiet. But
do not, for goodness sake, let them 90
strutting about, as they are so fond of
doing, crying out that they are the true
models for the whole species. Why,
they are the deadheads, the drones in
the great hive, the street crowds that
lounge about gaping at those who are
working"
