A THRILLING BOOK
The Adventures of Frank and Jesse James (unreadable words)

The career of Frank and Jesse James is the most remarkable in the history of outlaws. Beginning in the early part of the war, when mere boys, they have till at present time, a period of nearly twenty years, pursued a course of bold outlawry, extending through a dozen States, that has been dashing and brilliant to a degree that renders the story of the deeds of Rob Roy insignificant in comparison. History furnishes no parallel to their course, always daring and apparently reckless, above petty thievery, but striking the strongest corporations; they have never been captured though rewards amounting to $75,000 have been offered for their apprehension dead or alive. An authentic account of their deeds reads like a romance. It has been prepared in a fine illustrated volume by Hon. J. A. DACUS, Ph.D. of St. Louis. Mr. DACUS was for a long time the responsible editor of a leading St. Louis daily paper, and recently represented that city in the State Legislature. His qualifications for the work were superior and he had used extraordinary effort in procuring the facts, giving two years to the work; in the meantime, enjoying the acquaintance and confidence of his family and friends of the James boys, with whom he spent much time, and who gave him freely all the facts in their possession. The result is a work of such popular interest as to meet with a sale of 21,000 copies in four months, as the publishers assure us, and the demand grows as the nature of the book becomes better known. It is published by N. D. Thompson & Co., St. Louis, Mo. And is sold by subscription, affording a rare chance to agents. We advertise them in another column.

We had the pleasure to greet Mr. KREUTZER of Grafton in our sanctum last Saturday, he has just returned from the Black Creek regions in Marathon county, and informs us that that part of the county is just booming at present. He has been there continuously for three weeks and has completed the dam for his saw mill and the grist mill of Mr. KAISER's of Centreville, Manitowoc county. He informs us there has been spent about $7,000 on the roads up there, the road from Dorchester to Black Creek has all the stumps taken out and has been turnpiked with a good ditch, then there are about thirty men working in the village grading the streets and the market square. A hotel is being built in the village and the number of houses that have been and are being built on the farms throughout the county this summer is far in excess of the most sanguine expectation. Mr. K. says the county is being settled very fast. Every week brings up some families that move into the houses that they have built for themselves. The clearings are rapidly enlarging, and next summer will see crops of all kinds in abundance. The population in Marathon county in 1870 was about 4,000 and in 1880 17,126.

Hon. F. W. HORN, of Cedarburg, was up here deer stalking this week with such stalking nimrods as Geo. D. BREED, John W. DASKAM, Dr. LaCOUNT, and others, succeeded well in the sport. As Mr. HORN is one of the best posted politicians in Wisconsin, and is well aware of the inside workings of both of the prominent political parties within our borders, it may not be amiss to say he thinks Wisconsin a very doubtful state on the Presidential ticket with the doubt in favor of Hancock and English, while the election of Deuster in the 4th, Bragg in the 5th, and Bouck in the 6th Congressional District is beyond a cavil or a doubt, and in all probability we will carry the 2nd district comprised of the counties of Jefferson, Dane, Sauk, and Columbia, if Col. Vilas will accept the position of standard bearer. - Chilton Times

It seems as though the newspaper men of Port Washington are not loyal enough in politics and were not asked to figure in with the Hancock and English club. The republicans will be blessed (?) with some additional members soon if the Port Washington democrats don't recognize the members of the press in their town soon. As the republicans don't want them, we would advise that a satisfactory compromise be made.

LINEN MANUFACTORY

It is now authoritatively rumored that Cedarburg is to have a linen manufactory, and the Excelsior Mill is to be purchased for the purpose and a stock company is at present being formed between Milwaukee and Racine parties with a capital stock of $50,000.

As we could not obtain any information from parties directly interested, we cannot say whether there is any truth in the rumor or not, though mention of it was made in a Milwaukee paper last Sunday.

Should this rumor turn out to be true, Cedarburg will certainly gain a very valuable industry which will tend towards the building up of the place considerably and perhaps be the means of procuring various other kinds of manufactories that are a necessary want here. Cedarburg is well supplied with good water power which are at the present time lying idle.

Since writing the above, we noticed in the Milwaukee Wisconsin that steps are being taken by Mr. H. WEHAUSEN to transform the Excelsior Mills into a linen manufactory, and will if a joint company can be formed to take stock to the full value of his present mill property.

As this is mushroom month and a number of persons do not know the difference between a toadstool and mushroom, we suggest the old-fashioned way of finding out. It is by eating the fungus. If you die, it is a toadstool, if you live it is a mushroom.

In another place in this paper we publish a circular to district school boards from state superintendent W. C. WHITFORD on the compulsory education law, which is a valuable document for parents and guardians as well as for district school boards. A careful perusal of the circular will be of considerable benefit to everybody.

A Plymouth correspondent writes to the Sheboygan Times that there is so little profit in selling apples just now that they are being fed to hogs and cattle. Almost every apple tree is loaded with fruit, and some of the large orchards present a very fine appearance. The EVANS orchard will probably yield between 3,000 and 4,000 bushels; and there are other orchards in the vicinity that contain between one and two thousand bushels.

OBITUARY

DIED - On Friday morning, September 17th 1880, Mrs. Clara CAIN, aged 28 years and 6 months, wife of Mr. G. CAIN of Milwaukee, and daughter of F. W. HORN of this place.

Mrs. CAIN has been ailing a long time and about seven months ago consumption set in from which she could not be cured, though every effort was made to check its course.

Deceased leaves a husband and two children, and a large number of relatives to mourn her untimely demise.

Deceased was buried last Saturday afternoon and was followed to her last resting place by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. May she rest in peace.

The editor of the Port Washington Advertiser seems to be very much hurt because we very wisely put the question to Hon. P. V. DEUSTER, why he did not, in his speech of acceptance on the 13th inst. Say something about the Southern Claims question as he promised a great many democrats he would do, and the Advertiser calls it a scurrilous attack on Mr. DEUSTER. It is a well-known fact that the ring organ is a wishee-washee paper, and dare not speak in the interest of the people of Ozaukee county, and instead of giving them light the editor keeps them in the dark. What the people want is light and if it is in the power of THE ENTERPRISE, they shall have it! The insinuation by the ring organ that the editors of THE ENTERPRISE are paid for what they say for the interest of the people is untrue, but we do virtually believe that the editor of the Advertiser does not speak for honor's sake, but for money.

Quite a severe accident happened to bridge contractor John GORWIN while loading timber on a flat car at the depot yesterday morning whereby he received a ghastly cut under his right arm and was otherwise shaken up, by a large piece of timber falling on him. Dr. RUSSELL dressed the wounds, sewing up the cut and he is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

Farmers are busy sowing winter wheat and in spire of the heavy loss of this season, the average will be as large as last season.

Hadn't the young ladies of this place give another Leap Year party before their chances are gone for another four years? Now is just the time for a party of that kind.

The rain yesterday was a heavy blow for the Ozaukee County Agricultural Society, preventing a great many from attending and bringing articles for exhibition there.

Mr. J. B. CASSEL of Waubeka, called on us last Wednesday and was a most welcome caller. Mr. C. has not been in Cedarburg in fifteen years (although living in this county over twice that) and thinks a great many changes have taken place since that time.

A noisy little tramp made his appearance at the house of our friend C. F. BURGWARDT last Saturday night and since he has behaved himself, Mr. and Mrs. B. thought best to keep him. Mother and child are doing well. May he live to do honor to his parents.

We have been requested by Supt. SCOTT to state that the average standing of H. N. SCHLAMER in the First Grade is 9.6 and the average standing of L. C. LARSEN in the Third Grade is 9.6. This statement is made to correct an error in the circulars sent to the school officers.

It is said that J. R. BOHAN was in Milwaukee last week and had a private confab with P. V. DEUSTER, with what success we cannot say but by the appearance of his organ last week we would surmise he had his pockets filled with "the stuff that makes the Advertiser go."

Why don't the ring organ give its readers the reasons why they should beware of Charles GOTTSCHALK because he is a candidate for sheriff? It would suit Mr. GOTTSCHALK perhaps if the wise man would explain at once and not keep one in doubt. But the Advertiser is known to be silent when it ought to speak and speaks when it has no occasion to do so. Ring organs know best what to do.

Washington County has three candidates for Senator this far, as follows: G. F. HUNT, Phil. SCHNIEDER, and D. W. MAXON, all democrats. The republicans expect to run a candidate also. As Washington County is entitled to the Senatorship the "great I am" will either have to stay at home or else run for the assembly, the latter which he will undoubtedly do as he was seen steering for Belgium not long since.

Mr. S. S. LEONARD returned from Nebraska last Thursday where he has been on a collecting tour for the McCormick Reaper Co., Dayton, O.
