town, OF Perhaps less than one hundred
inhabitants, more than 1000 bushels OF
wheat are shipped daily, and, at this
date of writing, from so to IS farmers
teams are oil to be seen in town every
day. OF course this does not last all the
year round, but during the wheat season
this becomes one of the liveliest OF
towns. A great quantity of wheat
from north OF the Saline, and in the
neighborhood OF Minneapolis. is shipped
east from Bavaria, but only about one
third of all the wheat shipped here,
passes through the elevator, the balance
being loaded directly at the railroad
station. There is much talk of building
another elevator here, and also of erect.
ing q mill; but just how soon these pro-
jects may be carried out, is difficult to
determine. The prices paid for wheat
are good, and often few cents above
Salina rates. To-day Sept. 3d. good
ordinary wheat is Sc cents, white wheat,
5s@6e cents.
The Honek House is beautifully stu
ated in bit of woodland, upon the banks
of Spring creek. Its charming situation
and the careful attention shown all Wis.

hostess, combine to render it, IN high

are men of enterprise, and their constant
endeavor is, to keep their hotel up to
the standard of "first. class in every re-

We visited the Wholesale and jobbing
drug store of Messrs. Freeman & Co.,
where We were shown the most profuse
hospitality by the resident partner. Here
We witnessed the rolling pills and bolu-
ses and the compromising Of nostrums &C.
cording to the latest and most approved
methods; and this, by experienced
clerks whose profundity of knowledge
lie equalled BY the Incompatible neat.

store of Ober, Wilson & Co., evidences
of efficient management were at once ap-
parent. Everything seemed to run like
clock work, and, as afterward discover
cd, vt any hour from early morning IN
til late 1t night, was ever full array OF
customers to be seen. We called upon
Mr.. 8. D. Decker, on Perry street, who
deals in dry goods, boots and shoes and
notions, and has the neatest store in
Brook vile. This gentleman is doing an
excellent business, and has already &C.
compIished much in the way of improv-

We lost our way occasionally amid the

which everywhere creased and encom-

respects to both horse and man. In
Marquette we we're greeted heartily by
Oscar Sander, formerly Of Salina, and
one of the best musical amsteures Of the
latter city. Mr.. Sander is engaged in
his trade of painting out here. and has
met with very good success thus far.
We also had few moments talk with
Mr.. W. B. Flanders, formerly cashier of
ODER, Wilson 4 Co. Our topic Was an
inter.municipal treaty between Salina
and her infant sister, Marquette, and
from the tone of tho debate, We believe
there il no danger Of an immediate dec

sure of meeting Mr.. Hegglund, ono of

and be insisted upon signing our bond
to secure the payment Of hotel and stable
