BY means of an electric apparatus,
the locality Of the ball in the President
has been accurately ascertained. The
instrument was passed over the Presi-
dents body and the effect carefully OBJ
served. On the right side, opposite the
stomach, it showed decided symptoms
of being acted upon by an internal at
traction. The locality of the ball as
thus ascertained corroborates the the
DRY entertained by DR.. Bliss from the
first, that the ball was detected in that
direction. This region is also the place
in which the discolored spot appeared
soon after the President was shot.
The ball will not be removed at
present, unless an unfavorable turn
should make it necessary. 1t is
thought that it can be easily reached
and removed. The improved condition
and rapid advancement of the Presi-
dent toward recovery can be gathered
from the fact that DR.. Agnew has ex-
pressly said that within ten days he
will be able to attend to official
business.

Hartmann, the Nihilist, who is
visiting this country in the inter-
est Of Russian Nihilist, does not
meet with a cordial reception. So many
communistic societies have blossomed
out in this country in the past ten years,
and they have expressed such radical
sympathy with any and all movements
toward the destruction of things that
be, that the barbarians of Europe have
come to look upon Americans as con-
genial spirits, and flock here for aid in
carrying out any internal plot that they
may devise for the accomplishment of
their ends. 1t is time for the American
press to be pronounced in their opinions
upon Nihilism and kindred topics, in or
der that the view with which the people
regard such doctrines may be fully I'M
derstood, and that the reputation OF
the nation may not be other than the
true sentiment of the people. Their
position must be as positive and as
radical as those of the fanatics who
are trying to subvert the true interests
of liberty and freedom.

A successful county fair will be
curiosity in the modern history of
Kenosha County. The guarantees of a
booming entertainment at the fair
which is now rapidly drawing near are
beyond question. 1t will be the best
thing Of the kind ever held in these
parts, and don't you forget it. The
signs of large and enthusiastic at
tendance are unmistakable, and the
officers in charge are accordingly more
than laying themselves out to surpass
the highest anticipations of the people.
Farmers should begin to make their
arrangements for coming. Remember
it holds only three days, every one of
which will be full OF attractions. A
comparison Of the premium list with
those of neighboring fairs will convince
all parties where they best go to have
their productions receive recognition
in the form of substantial rewards.
KenOsha county intends fairly to out
do herself this year. A word to the
wise is sufficient.

The girl after whom any number of
marrying men are looking has been
discovered again. In other days she
had written book, or developed a
phenomenal voice, or shot number of
dollars worth of wild animals, or done
something else that secured local fame
and considerable money. This time
she has planted, cultivated, harvested,
and sold three hundred and fifty
bushels of wheat. 1T is needless to say
that a number of young fellows are
wildly in love with the girl, and that
tue list of suitors will rapidly increase
as the record of her achievement makes
the rounds of the press. A great deal
is said about women who marry merely
for the sake of being supported, but
they are no more numerous than men
who long for wives who will do work
enough to supply their husbands with
bread and butter, cigars and drinks.
There are men in this city who would
borrow their friends last dollar rather
than do days work in corn field, yet
would willingly endow the Indiana girl
with half of their worldly debts, and
do it with the best plain gold ring that
could be bought on credit. They would
also, as soon as the corn is harvested,
find business calling them to Chicago
and keeping them there until the money
lasted or an advance could be secured
on the next crop.

The Eau Claire strike is over and
the militia companies have returned to
their several headquarters. The
promptness with which the state troops
reached the scene of trouble is COM
mendable, and goes far toward estab-
fishing proper understanding between
strikers and state authorities. 1t is the
privilege of workmen to band together
and be governed by rules that do not
interfere with the rights of others, but
when they go to destroying property
or using violence to compel others to
unite with them they cease to deserve
sympathy or support. Gov. Smith,
apparently, did the proper thing in call
ing out the troops, although there are
some criticisms made, but evidently
for political effect. There is no class
of men more dangerous than lumber
and river men, if they think they are
being imposed upon. 1t is not because
they are wicked lot, but they are ac-
customed to hardy life and no restric-
ton but sense of right and honor.
Although there are many bad charac-
tiers among them, the typical Wlscon-
sin woodman and luHlberman is man
of noble qualities, despising conven-
tionalism, generous, brave and patri-
otto; men, moreover, of ability, who,
having become welded to their wild
life, find it difficult to go into other
employments. There is an attraction
about it that holds them. 1t is not
urusual to find among them men of
superior education, who, through some
mischance of life, have been drawn

The Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph
last week contained an engraving of
Capt. Timme, with an editorial on that
gentleman's candidacy for the State
Secretaryship. The precedent of thus
giving the people sight of the face of
their candidate will be apt to grow in
to a custom. 1t is we'll for the success
of such a custom that it was commenced
on so handsome man as Mr.. Timme.
The face is one that looks as though it
had ability back of it, and there is moth
ing deceiving in the picture. But
what will Gabe Bouck and some of
those other fellows think of the custom,

rest of your life, like the phantom fig

Sitting Bull, the warrior who has
engaged the attention of the frontier
troops for the past half dozen years, now
in the custody of Uncle Sam, is found
to be a very ordinary looking savage,
and the newspapers are trying to strip
him of his renown as military leader
by attributing to other parties I'M
known the brilliancy of his military
campaigns against the whites. The
wrinkled old warrior, who is in state
of advanced poverty, might well say,
" He who steals my purse steals trash,
but he who robs me of my good name
takes that which does not benefit him,
but makes me poor, indeed" He had a
view of a locomotive for the first time
at Bismark the other day, which took
the wrinkles out Of his face, and SWELL
ed it to the shape Of that of young
pappoOse when the engineer put on
steam and sent the engine flying along
the track.

The claims Of nationality and locali-
ty are among the prominent ones urged
as qualifications for the respective
state offices this fall. 1t is q hard
thing fer politics to get above this
sectional feeling. 1t really makes not
the smallest odds in the world from
what county man comes, or whether
he is a German, a Swede or NOrwe-
gian, so long as he is qualified person
for the place. The habit of batting the
hook with something that savors of
Germany or Norway or Denmark, or
to urge the plea that such and such
section is entitled to such and such
representation on the ticket, has, how.
ever, become too strong to be disre-
garded by the various political parties,
and accordingly we find them dabbling
into it more and more. The outcome
of all this talk in the papers respecting
the coming nominations is that Sec
tionalism grows stronger from year to
year. We will be glad to see the time
when the question of a mans birth
place and the particular part of the
state he halls from will be minor con-
siderations, or disappear entirely, and
the best man who can be secured will
be supported by all sections and ma
tionalities. 1t must be humiliating to
a mans estimation of himself to have
his name urged for a particular Office
because he comes from a particular
part of the state, or because his ances-
tors at some time in the remote past
were inhabitants of some particular
foreign land. But as long as one To-
cality puts forward such claims it will
be met by others, and thus the. thing
goes in an apparently eternal cycle.

1t is eminently proper time to look
after the dogs. One can hardly meet
them on the street without looking at
them with suspicious eye. Dogs are
dangerous playthings at this season
of the year, and it wouldn't be a bad
sign if the hardware stores should
open brisk trade in muzzles or
powder and ball. We would suggest
the latter as the more effective and
simple mode of meeting the emergency.

An awkward blunder has been made
by the compositors in the office of the
I'lter-0ceoa in inserting the Kenosha
post Office in list of offices delin-
quent in promptly forwarding quarter
ly reports for the quarter ending June
80, 1881. Postmaster Frantz has his
receipt from headquarters, showing
that his report was duly forwarded and
received July 5. AS in the associated
press reports the Menasha post office
appears in the plrce of Kenosha, it is
presumable that the Enter-Ocean has
made the blunder.

This Is truly an age of invention.
Electric invention is passing the bounds
of all conceived of things. Late inven-
lions have made it possible for many
messages to be transmitted over the
same wire In the same or opposite di-
fections at one time, and also for parties
to communicate with each other with
out telegraph employees knowing any
thing about what the message is. A
grand scheme for girdling the continent
with wires and introducing an entirely
new system of telegraphic communica-
tion is on foot, and an entirely different
system will go into effect before the
end of another ten years.
