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 presenttime, a period of nearly twenty years, pursued a course of bold outlawry, extendingthrough a dozen States, that has been dashing and brilliant to a degree that rendersthe story of the deeds of Rob Roy insignificant in comparison. History furnishesno parallel to their course, always daring and apparently reckless, above petty thievery,but striking the strongest corporations; they have never been captured though rewardsamounting to $75,000 have been offered for their apprehension dead or alive. Anauthentic account of their deeds reads like a romance. It has been prepared in afine illustrated volume by Hon. J. A. DACUS, Ph.D. of St. Louis. Mr. DACUS was fora long time the responsible editor of a leading St. Louis daily paper, and recentlyrepresented that city in the State Legislature. His qualifications for the workwere superior and he had used extraordinary effort in procuring the facts, givingtwo years to the work; in the meantime, enjoying the acquaintance and confidenceof his family and friends of the James boys, with whom he spent much time, and whogave him freely all the facts in their possession. The result is a work of suchpopular interest as to meet with a sale of 21,000 copies in four months, as the publishersassure 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 informsus that that part of the county is just booming at present. He has been there continuouslyfor three weeks and has completed the dam for his saw mill and the grist mill ofMr. KAISER's of Centreville, Manitowoc county. He informs us there has been spentabout $7,000 on the roads up there, the road from Dorchester to Black Creek has allthe stumps taken out and has been turnpiked with a good ditch, then there are aboutthirty men working in the village grading the streets and the market square. A hotelis being built in the village and the number of houses that have been and are beingbuilt on the farms throughout the county this summer is far in excess of the mostsanguine expectation. Mr. K. says the county is being settled very fast. Everyweek 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 kindsin abundance. The population in Marathon county in 1870 was about 4,000 and in 188017,126.

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

The editor of the Port Washington Advertiser seems to be very much hurt becausewe very wisely put the question to Hon. P. V. DEUSTER, why he did not, in his speechof acceptance on the 13th inst. Say something about the Southern Claims questionas he promised a great many democrats he would do, and the Advertiser callsit a scurrilous attack on Mr. DEUSTER. It is a well-known fact that the ring organis 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. Whatthe people want is light and if it is in the power of THE ENTERPRISE, they shallhave it! The insinuation by the ring organ that the editors of THE ENTERPRISE arepaid for what they say for the interest of the people is untrue, but we do virtuallybelieve 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 timberon a flat car at the depot yesterday morning whereby he received a ghastly cut underhis right arm and was otherwise shaken up, by a large piece of timber falling onhim.

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

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