Silver NuptialS.

For twenty-five years, G. W. Harlan,
and Mrs. Harlan hayc walked hand in
hand sharing lifcs pleasures and SORROWS
together, and the reminscence Of the hour
when quarter Of q century ago their
faith in each other was pledged, was
pleasantly brought to mind on last Friday
evening when the parlors of the Harlan
House became suddenly filled with their
friends who had quietly arranged sur
prise ceremony.
The Band upon the Veranda played sew
eral fine airs and the mirthtui thT0ng III
side arranged matters for the wedding.
The lower parlor was selected for the
ceremony, which was performed by Capt.
Hughes, who remarked them, "for better
or for worse" Mr.. Nash presented the
couple with silver basket and other ar
ticles of value in behalf Of the friends, and
after the usual ngratulations, and the
paraxng Of q wedding supper prepared
by the lady guests, those that dance repair
ell to Kellers Hall, and listened to the mu-
sic of Dunlaps' string band, kept up a
merry round until late hour.
It was happy group that gathered
around the bridal couple, and among
tlCuu WClC hlSS lIlllLlo 1NOla oAu NCoA 30
Harlan, their children.
Deaths shadow has been cast across
their threshold and all that had been
theirs were not present at this ceremony
but compared with many, many house
holds, it has been we'll with Captain and
his wife, and that times cycle will bring
this much respected pair to participate in
their golden wedding is the sincere wish
of large circle of friends.

Masonic Installation.

The Installation ceremonies of Silver
Star Lodge No. 4, A. F. & A. NJ, took
place in the Lodge Room Monday even.
ing, before large number of masons and
their lady friends. Owing to the small.
ness of the room, extended invitations
were prohibited, but the Hall was suftic-
iently filled for effect and comfort.
At the close of the ceremonies, the
thanks of the members were rendered the
Ladies for their munificeDt supply Of re-
freshments furnished for the occasion,
and the toast Women given, was respond
ed to by the master, Major Miller, in one
of his rejolnders.
The sound of the gavel was the signal
for clearing the floor, and Dunlap Broth.
ers took the stand, and the impatient
younger portion were soon moving to
Herbert's call.
1t is surprising how at these festive
gatherings, the old familiar tunes will set
the elder ones in molten; silvered hairs
and shambling prove no check, and Rich
ards and this worthy spouse become them,
selves again. The gathering did not dis
perse until an early hour this morning,
when they sought repose regretting that
the hospital,ties Of the members Of Silver
Star could not be more often exhibited.

Prospective Prices.

The following is a communication to
one Of our Canton business men, from an
old established commission house in Mil
waukee, which contains matters worthy
of consideration, as to the ultimate mark ct
prospect of the worlds wheat crop:
MILWAUKEE, June 10, 1878.
Dear Strive would call your atten-
tion to few facts in regard to the causes
at present having great influence upon the
wheat markets Of the world, leaving you
to form your your own judgment or opin-
ion from them.
As far as can be seen al present, Euro
pean politics ere thoroughly peaceful, in
their tendency, and there is hardly any
probability of further disturbance. The
weather at latest advices is generally fav-
OF able to the growing crops all over the
world and with but tritling exceptions
foreign countries, Judging from their pres
ent prospects, expects to have more than
an average yield. If these conditions hold
good till after harvest, there will be cor
respondingly limited demand from the va
rious importing countries for our wheat.
In our own country there Is q great in
crease in the acreage under wheat, which
at present gives promise Of remarkably
abundant harvest, and California is now
harvesting the heaviest crop she has ever
raised
With the general heavy decline in prices
and wages, and the vast multitude of peo-
pie out of employment, owing to the de
preston in trade at home and abroad,
every article Of consumption, either man
ufactured or agricultural, is unusually
low, with perhaps the exception of wheat,
which appeurs to day, taking prospective
supply and demand into consideration, to
be tue highest on the list-even at present
prices.
As an example of the prices which have
ruled here under similar circumstances,
with large crop abroad, we would say
that No. wheat sold in this market in
January, 1853, at 55c per bushel. In Au-
gust 1859 at SOC, In December 1860 at G6c,
in Dec. 1861 at Csc, in Jan. 1862 at 70c, in
Aug 1868 at SEC. In Dec 1869 No. 3 sold
here at 1870, in April 1870 at 73c, and in
Oct 1874 at 64c.
While it is not our province to be either
Bulls or Bears, or to offer advice to our
customers, we have thought it only our
duty to call your attention to what appear
the existing fNcts in regard to the causes
now influencing the price of wheat. We
leave you to weigh the reasons given
above against the chances of possible in
Jury to the crop from bad weather, or in.
sects, and in regard to the latter we note
that complaints thus far are not SO numer-
Gus as at this time last year, while the
harvest will be generally from two to
three weeks earlier.
The chance of European war is not
worth counting on now, and freight to the
sea board being remarkably low, enabling
| the grain to be marketed cheaper than
eyer before, seems to be the only favorable
circumstance visible at present. but even
with these low rates the eastern markets
are declining as rapidly as ever.

The Raging Missouri.

Sioux City Journal, June "a. Yes,er-
day was another day tull Of interest, hustle
and business at our river front. At 8 o.
clock the bank near the Illinois Central
depot began falling in and in the space Of
thirty minutes the water had cut a hole
into the bank to the south west of the de-.
pot fifty fee: in length and about ten feet
in width. This was signal for action on
the part of Illinois Central men and they
at once began taking up the platforms
around the building, and it will be moved
to-day. The Sioux City and Pacific
freight depot was started yesterday and
move north some fifteen or twenty feet
where it is now resting over Sunday. Ii
will be placed on the west of and odioin
ing the one moved last spring The Dako
ia Southern Depot, which is situated be
tween those Of the Sioux City & Pacific
and Illinois Central roads. is not at pres
ent in much danger. but the opinion is
that it too will have to moved when the
present high water begins to recede.
The houses occupied by families and
situated between the wagon road and the
Illinois Central track are all being put in
shape tor moving, and one owned and oc
cupicd by the family Of q man named Pet
| erson was moved out Of danger yesterday
and others will be moved as fast as posi-
BILE
After today the large grain elevator oi
Hedges Bros, will be the only building
left IN great danger. but we understand
that it will not be moved, as the cost OF
moving would be too great If the worst
comes, its machinery will be taken out
and as much Of the frame be saved as pos.
siblc Till then it will not disturbed
Should the elevator 90 INTO the river all
the houses along Second street Oh botll
sides will be in "ticklish" positions and
will probably have to be removed or torn
down.
The Illinois Central side track has been
taken up from the Pacific depot to Pros.
pect hill and all small buildings south OF
that line have been taken away All the
| ties and iron have been taken from Perry
creek bridge, and only the frame rema ms
standing.
Thus the matter stands at present. No
plans for protection are talked of or even
thought of, 50 far as we are aware, and
people directly interested are kept busy
| taking care Of property.

Railroad Located to BelOit.

A. J. Nash, Engineer Of the Pembna
extension, crossed the river aboye Carpen,
ters dam with the line Thursday morning
The distance from Calliope to the east
bank of the Sioux IN BeIoit is twcnty-one
miles and sixty-cight hundred;ks. The river
at the point of crossing is 245 tcntln width
at the present stage of water. The line is
located to Belolt, and preliminary only
run beyond mile and half.
Mr.. Nash has shortened the present
from the old line upwards of one mile
and half, and considers the line finally Sc
lected as splendid one.
Although long expected and not the
first survey made here, the permanent To-
cation Of tho line approaches nearer the
desired object tlan any steps heretofore
taken. The unfortunate circumstances
that have occurred to delay the building
of this road are we'll known to the resi-
dents of this county, and they were near
the point Of surrendering all hopes OF Its
construction for some time at least.
Mr. Wicker stated while here Thursday
+ that he was ready for business, What terms
conditions or requirements he demands
of the people who are interesting them
selves in the road, we are not apprised Of
other than 10000 in cash or its equivalent
in what can be utilized for the purchase OF
the ties, and the grading of the road bed
is demanded. The distance to be graded
as above stated is tritie over twenty one
and half miles, and the estimate made
from the grade established will require
the removal of about 10000 yards OF
earth. Averaging the cost of grading al
10 cents ward, would make the total tor
grading $4,000, which added to the 10000
for ties, involves the total amount $33,00O
to be raised besides an indefinite sum OF
the purchase of right of way Of those who
will not donate it.
This is the condition Of affairs as we
understand them at this date OF writing
Some portion of the tie subsidy has been
secured BY tax vote in Kichland, Lyon
and Suttler township, and the balance VIII
have to be raised by individual subscrip
ton. In short the people themselves have
it within their power to bring the Road &c
Beloit BY Oct. 1st next, and If they 40 nc'
come forward and lend helping hand
then the road will not build beyond Cali
ope this season, and in our opinion neUer
1t is earnestly hoped that our ,grea
want and the necessity for the road vii
cause every man who desires to witness
the advancement of this beautiful land, to
aid according to their ability, that we may
not be kept out of the reach and oenlno
the rapid strikes that immigration is max
ing all around us. The tide once turned
will be fatal against US.
Since writing the above MIR. Wicker has
returned, and on examination OF the lint
has decided to run new line part OF tht
way from Calliope to Eden, Also between
Struble's Mill and Fairview,. 'otherwis'
the location is permanent and the grade
stakes are being set. Also we are inform
ed the amount required for the procure
ment of the ties has been satisfactorily ar
ranged, leaving only the matter OF th'
Grade 10 be secured.

Sioux FALLS Pantagraph, 10: "The
railroad is now completed across the Split
Rock bridge, and material is at hand to
run the track to Brandon, the next station.
The timbcrs for the bridge at the Big
Sioux crossing are all framed and will be
loaded and shipped to morrow, and the
bridge contractor says he will be able to
put up the structure, even if it is the larg-
est on the road, in six days from com
mencement of operations. If the ties are
sent along with anything like dispatch
track laying will buzz towards us more
rapidly than ever. The delay in the arri
val of material may possibly prevent the
roadfrom reaching US by July 4, but every
effort will be strained to bring 1t through
and it Will certainly reach to within moi
over three miles Of us by that time.
