A burglar at midnight climbed up to
aehamber window, and cautiously opeE-
ed it. The occupant, CHANGING to be
awake crept softly to the window, and
just as the robbers face appeared, press
ed against it the cold, smooth muzzle
of revolver, with the injunction, "you
git" You bet" replied the robber,
dropping to the ground and running
for his life

Business ana Prospects---Farmers and

BusineDs ana FrOspects...Farmers and
Markets.
Correspondence Of the Cedar Falls Gazette,
AcKLEY. May a0th, 1895.
l am at present sojourner in the
thrifty and enterprising town of Ackley,
(having business engagement which
will keep me here short time,) and
have thought that a brief sketch of the
character Of the place might prove in.
teresting to your readers.
AS you are aware, it is indebted to
Cedar Falls for much of it's business tall
ent and enterprise. Such men as VIM.
Francis and M. Burns are a valuable
:s."cassion to any town, and must neces-
sarily tend to promote ITS business in
terests and prosperity. The first Of the
above named gentlemen, has erected a
large store and is evidently securing a
heavy trade.
The grain market is quite active here,
and to the credit of all concerned be it
said, that no farmer visiting this market
has been known to complain of short
sceigM.
When the railroad left here, many
entertained fearful apprehensions that
trade would leave with it; but such has
proved not to be the fact. The expla-
nation of this may readily be seen in
the dense settlements around here, of
class OF thrifty and enterprising farm
ers, who visit this market to exchange
their produce and greenbacks for goods.
Ackley produce market, May Goth:
wheat, No. l, S1.15@1.2O; oats, 90 cts;
corn, % cts; potatoes, 1880 cts; but
ter, 12l@15 cts; eggs, II! cts.
Ackley will doubtless be able to sup
ply much food for the ponderous jaws
of the Cedar Falls Corn Starch Factory.
There is much building going on here,
and every indication of prosperity and
a healthy growth. But more anon.
Yours truly, 1T.

ALL READy.-Col. Sawyer is now
already to start on his trip to Montana
viz. the Niobrara aud the south base of
the Black Hills. The teams are ali OIL
hand, wagons ready to Glitch up"
and every thing in the way of prepare
ton got along with. A portion Of his
force has been on this end of the road
for the past two weeks, putting it in
condition for the passage of the train
without obstacles. The only thing
which now detains the train from start
ing is lack of grub" which should
have been here long ago. The boat on
which his stores were shipped is aground,
high and dry, below, and the delay
necessary in transferring his freight to
another, has kept them from arriving
up to this time. They are expected,
however, in a day or two, and then the
train will start immediately.--iSiour
