The old school building which was
sold to the County Agricultural Socie-
ty has been successfully moved on to
the fair grounds, and placed in posi-
ton ready for occupancy at the forth
coming fair. The work of moving was
no slight job, as the building was
large and naarly square in its proper
tons, and the road over which it vas
conveyed full of stumps aud -decayed
logs. Nevertheless the perseverance
of Mr.. Brown has overcome all obsta-
cIes, and the building is safely lodged
within the enclosure of the societies
grounds. We understand that Mr..
Brown was compelled to invest nearly
one hundred dollars in tackle blocks,
rollers &C., &C., before beginning the
work, an expense necessary because
Of the size and weight of the structure.

4 Letter from Kansas.

GLEN ELDER, MITCHELL Co., Kan. July 10.
EDITOR REPORTER On leaving
Grand Rapids, We we're requested by
many friends to write from this place
regarding the country, ETC., will say
we are well pleased with the country
and its future prospects. The climate
is all we could desire. mild. healthful
and pleasant, soil rich and productive.
face of the country except the bottom
lands of the beautiful Solomon and
its tributaries, is slightly rolling,
" heat crop slightly below the average.
Corn never looked better, and at pres
ent, the prospects are very fattering.
Oats and potatoes look we'll, would
say to those in the lumber region. i
they prefer farming to the numbering
business, this is the place for farming.
Would say in the language of II. g.,
~ Dung man 60 west" and grow up
with the country. We found Mitchell
county much better improved than we
anticipated The public improvements
would do credit 90 much older county.
This portion of Kansas is settled by
an energetic class of men, and the ma
terial resources at their command will
make this great commonwealth. Can
say we have found a home among a
loyal patriotic people who, from the
earliest history of the state have been
firm supporters of the Government in
civil aud military times. and we expect
without doubt to roll up rousing ma
jority for U. s G. In 1880. Would
say to my Republican, friends of Grand
Rapids and vicinity to grid on the
armor for the coming conflict, for upon
the results of the coming election de-
ponds the Welfare of our country, for
the Government to-day is virtually in
the hands Of the most rampant rebels
of the age. Tell my friend Hiles,
that should he ever see his old friend
Texas name at the head Of the ticket
for congressman, he will expect him to
come and tender his support to secure
his election e.

Several Of the leading regular ply
sicians Of northern Wisconsin are ear
uestly discussing the feasibility and
propriety Of organizing society to be
known as the North Wisconsin Medi-
cal Association-ad admitting to its mem
bership all regularly graduated physt-
clans practicing in the counties of
Ashland, bayfield,, Brunette, Barron,
Buffalo, Chippewa, Clark, Dunn.
Douglas, Eau Claire, Jackson, Lincoln,
Marathon, New, Oconto, Pierce, Pep
III, Polk, Portage, Price, Shawano.
St. Croix, Trempealeau, Wood, and
Waupaca. The object aimed at is to
augment and facilitate opportunities
whereby physicians Of the northern
counties may meet for frequent inter
change of ideas and theories relative
TO the origin and treatment of the nu-
laerous ailments met With in their local
practice. Such meetings would prove
mutually beneficial to the 'ttrusty" and
the Inexperienced practitioner, and the
result would be a perceptible decrease
in obituary notices and an approximate
dullness in the undertaking and tomb
stone industries.
Among those who are endeaTorlng
10 bring the project to successful
elimination, we can mention DR.. o..
I. Nitter, of Grand Rapids, and Drs.
Freeman and Dickinson OF this city.
The organization will be. effected, prob
ably, during Augustus it is the III
tcntion of the protector to call meet
ing at that time, at some city centrally
located, for the purpose. La the mean
while, let suffering humanity hope and
pray that every true Eseulaplan desci-
pie will awaken to realizing sense of
what he owes his patient s-collect
what they owe him-and attend.-Ne'0

Shooting Down Nihilist Prisoners.

The offenders incarcerated in the pris-
on of Kieff, who include among them
large number Of Nihilists, determined to
make an effort to escape The plan
adopted was to undermine the jail by
digging a passage beneath the building
into the field beyond the walls, and by
this means get clear Of the editice. One
of the prisoners, however. betrayed the
designs Of his companions in duranee,
and informed the governor Of the project
ed means of escape. What did the au-
thorities thereupon determine to do?
They quietly permitted the unfortunate
prisoners to continue uninterrupedtly
their work Of constructing an under
ground passage --------=-------
On the evening when the captives had
completed this undertaking and expected
to emerge to the freedom SO long coveted
the governor stationed file of infantry
| with loaded muskets at the end of tunnel
out of which they were to pass into the
open field beyond the Jail. Then as each
one came up,and they could, owing to the
narrowness of the Aperture, only leave
one by, he was shot down by the soldiery
placed there for the purpose. Those re-
manning in the subterannean passage,
afrighted by the sound of firearms, stood
STILL, Whereupon the governor ordered
another file Of infantry to enter the tun-
mel from the end within the prison, while
those with him force there way in from
without. In.:this narrow dungeon the
whole OF the unfortunate prisoners were
shot down, fired on from behind and be
fore, and wholly incapable of escape O.
resistance.
The performance afforded considerable
amusement to the governor Of the Kicf
prison, who now wears upon his breast
an honory distinction for the ability be
displayed in preventing the escape of the
prisoners under Ills charge.-Ss.
