The "Ideal Portrait company" of
Milwaukee, are in trouble, growing out
of charges brought against them for
swindling. The case is before Commits

they charge nothing, but people are
obliged to purchase frames for the pic
lures and have to pay, it is charged, ex-
horbitant figures. The Ideal people had
an agency here for short time this

One point, at least, in favor of wa
ter-works is now very apparent with
the parched and dried up lawns that
are everywhere to be seen, as result
of the present dry spell. No such brown,
seer and sick looking front yards would
be seen if sprinkling was available. For
several years past the seasons have
been quite favorable for good growth
of grass on lawns, but let just one dry
season come and we feel assured there
would be a popular uprising in the COM
munity for water-works. They are in
dispensable for the maintenance of a
nice, healthy looking and vigorous
grass plot.
We learn of hard gang keeping
up with the procession" of the Wallace
& Co.'s circus, and stories are told of a
number of "innoceDts abroad who
were fleeced out of more or less money
,, yesterday in trying their luck with diff
| ferent gambling devices. Names are
given of parties, whose losses were
from $40 to $780, 1t is the marvel of
the age that with the enlightenment
and means that people have of inform
ing themselves that they can be i'm
posed upon by lot of mounte-banks
and swindlers. There would seem to
be no excuse for these people to be
caught in the traps laid for them, and
it is very questionable if they are de-
serving of any sympathy when they
bite at the bait set for them.
