with each succeeding year.

There is no doubt but that card
playing is now epidemic in Waukegan.
Progressive euchre, cinch and whist for
prizes is one of the most popular forms
of amusement. Not only do the ladies
play at the parties, but they play prac-
tice games at home.
Messrs. Pinzger and Bockenheuser
have completed the decoration of the
court house interior and the visitor will
now scarcely recognize in the tastefully
decorated walls and ceilings the dauby,
storm stained interior of three weeks

fleets credit upon the Workmen.
There is hardly a married man, eX-
cept an editor, who does not habitually
carry in his pockets the picture of an
attractive young woman who is not his
wife. We violate no confidence when
we say her name is Miss Edna Wides
Williams, of Philadelphia, and that her
picture ornaments the silver dollar
which all Of us use.
A writer says there is wanted in
almost every town in this state an edi-
tor who can read, write and argue pol
itics and at the same time be religious,
funny, scientific and historic at will;
write to please without being told; al
ways have something good - say about
every one, live on wind and AXE more
money than his enemies. For ouch men
good openings will be made-in the
graveyards.
"A Chicago newspaper inserted two
advertisements side by side the other
day-one for a good housemaid and
the other for living picture of chorus
girls-the wages to be the same. At
last reports 200 young women had ap-
piled for the latter position, and none

man is not only not safe, but she seems
bound to help accomplish her own
ruin.
The entertainment given by the
pupils of the grades of the schools,
at the high school auditorium Wednes-
day evening, was very pleasant and
successful affair. The tableauX were
very fine, the music excellent, the flag
drill very cute, and the farewell march
simply superb. The program from be-
ginning to end was all that could have
been hoped for. The auditorium was
crowded to its full capacity, and early
in the evening standing room was at q
premium Each number was excellent,
and only fails Of separate notice from
the fact that no programs were fur
nished SO that each number could have
been properly noted. Every one who
took part, however, is entitled to es-
pecial praise.
"A good story is told of a girl. She
recently found a package Of love letters
written to her mother by her father be-
fore they were married. The daughter
saw that she could have a little sport
and read them to her mother pretend
ing that they we're Of recent date, and
substituted her name for that of her
mother, and that of fine young man
for that Of. her father. The mother
jumped up and down in her chair, lift
ed her feet and seemed terribly dis
gusted and forbid her daughter having
anything to do with the young man
who would write such sickening nom

Transportation by water between
Milwaukee and Chicago seems now an
assured thing. The transportation
committee of the Business Mems asso-
citation has been receiving propositions
from various companies and captains
looking to the establishment OF the line
desired. The business men have been
approached by the committee and they
