CHICAGO MARKETS
BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago or
indianapolis, how shall we reach the West {?
The best line is acknowledged to be the c., B.
81 O.. joined together with the B. 81 NJ Rail-
road by the Iron gBridge at Burlington, and
called the BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route ,runningito Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads,
and forms to-day the leading route to Cali
fornia. The middle Branch, entering NebraS-
ka at Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln,
the State Capital, and will this yearbe finish"
ed to Fort Kearney, forming the shortest
route across the Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch Of the 8. M, diverging at
Red Oak, falls into line running down the
Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas City and
all Kansas Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missouri,
and, by slight divergence, can see Nebras-
ka also. ....a
Lovers Of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for It's towns thigh gleam-
ing from afar''-its tree-fringed streams-its
rough bluffs and quarries--its corn-oceans
stretching over the praries further than the
eye can reach. s ~ ,t....
Landowners will be sure to remember it,
for they have friends among the two thousand
who have already bought farms from Geo. S.
Harris the Land Commissioner of the B. 81
M. r. r., at Burlington, Iowa, or among the
four thousand home-steaders and pre-emptOrs
who last year filed claims in the, Lincoln land
office, where "Unce Sam is rich enough to
give us all a farm" 1y45

Hoar resigned, Mr.. Alderman was nominated,
entlrely without knowledge, and was at his

COLoRED BALL.-The event of the season
Yves our colored brothers ball, got up last
Thursday evening in style at Kimball Hall !;
quite number of the crowd were from Ra-
cine, our sister city, and our youngest report
er thus means forth his little ditty First,
Sophronisba Peachblow raised objection to
the white trash, causing serious commotion,
and one dark got his nose mashed. The
audience kept quiet till a pickaninny want
ing pap commenced crying, but was hushed
to sleep in male nurses lap. Then Miss
Mayapple threw up her nose and said it was
shame that they couldn't have their dance
alone-sO many white folks came she said
eff any more white trash is let in frew dat
do I'll get nay hat and cloak, by gosh, and
den I'll leave the fo'." They danced until
the manager announced "de grub is ready
VIXEN they pitched into the edibles in man
ner somewhat greedy, and after eating half ar
hour, in fact, all they were able, the horrid
white trash fell in line and cleared the second
table. To say that all enjoyed themselves
would be but half the truth; we noticed all
our " live" folks there, from young age tc
old youth. The dancers kept up their sport
in fact cut quite a dash till daylight, then
went home to work-some call it 4" Singing
hash"

A rain and hail storm of the "rale opld
style visited our place yesterday afternoon,
lasting perhaps an hour During the storm
hail stones as large as good sized walnuts
fell in great abundance, driving everybody
from the streets to places of shelter. The
wind, which came from the southwest at the
beginning of the storm, veered round to the
north, and from that around to the east, SO
that we had the storm from nearly all quar-.
tiers.

TEND THE CORN LATE"-A correspond.
ent of the Iowa Homestead says sensible
words, as follows:
Tend your corn qUeU; tend it late-don't
be deferred because tfmid neighbor, who
may like an excuse for neglect, says you will
ruin it if tended when the blades curl up.
This is all bosh; the blades will open as the
sun recedes behind the tree tops, and your
corn will grow apace. If you abandon your
corn early, that inevitable late crop of weeds
and grass will come upon your land like a
cloud, and in place of corn you will reap
nuboins. Therefore, we say, tend your land
late, and crowd it with a few tons of turnips,
by having the late weeds and grass extermin-
ated, your ground in a mellow condition,
and sowing thereon few pounds of turnip
seed about the Goth of August

LETTER FROM BRISTOL.

Editor Kenoshz Telegraph:
DEAR SIR-Allow me through your paper
to make Suggestion to members of the Ke
nosha Co. Agricultural Society. suggest
that the Fair for this year be held at Keno
sha on the grounds owned by Captain Read,
provided said Read will allow the Society
the use of the grounds free of charge - the
Society to have full control of the grounds
during the Fair. I make this suggestion, be-
lieving that if the Fair should be held at Ke-
nosha this year, the Society would be con-
v;nced that it is for their interest to remove
the Fair permanently and have it located on
the beautiful grounds at Kenosha. I suggest
that this matter be discussed in the County
papers, and that the Society vote at their next
meeting whether or not they will hold the
coming Fair at Kenosha.

The Racine advocate of last Saturday de.
votes nearly column to the description OF
an excursion on a tug boat from that village
to this place on Tuesday of last week, from
which we make the following extract:
Everything looked lovely in Kenosha
but it succumbed to the youth and beauty OF
Racine without struggle. Theinhabitants,
not being warned Of their coming, had no.
time to send to Racine for provisions, and so
the village went hungry for supper, to sup
ply the appetite of those dainty blondes and
voracioss brunettes."
EAT Our hotel keepers would rather see
Van Amburgh's menagerie let loose in their
dining rooms than the yoracious Racine ex-
cursionists, and taking into consideration the
large amount of provisions made away with
by the swarm on the evening in question, we
think the hotels would make money by keep
ing the menagerie.

OUR HARBoR.-One of our live, go-ahead
business mer, Geo. 8. Baldwin, is crowding
business on his dock at the harbor. The
barque Knapp brought him over six hundred
tons OF coal and several hundred barrels of
lime on Tuesday last, and day or two before
a propeller landed cargo of salt at his ware
house,
On the Island side of the harbor large
space has been fenced in, preparatory to the
erection of a mandatory of some sort.
At Simmons dock the Dredge is busy
dredging out the mud, and in a few days the
water will be deep enough at that point for
the largest vessels on the lake. Immense
quantities of tan bark are being landed OF
the city dock every week for the use of Sim
mons & Co.'s tannery. 2-a95@
F. C. Hills has gone to work on his "5ridge
contract" and it won't be long before docks
will have to be built to accommodate the
traffic above the bridge.
The steam feet of Waukegan entered our
harbor last Monday in majestic style, with
six quarts of steam in the jug. After looking
over our beautiful city for short time they
withdrew and steered south. No guns were
fired. e
Stone boats are busy taking gravel from
the lake shore just north of the north harbor
pier. There is an immense quantity there,
and easy to get at with small vessels.
Why don't our Marshal capture some of
the young chaps who are continually bathing
in the harbor in direct violation of the law

small batch of them before Squire Read and
