ton, H., daughter of Mrs. Hasty.

decorated, inside and out, for the occasion.
At 1 o'clock the family group of forty-two

sented with a fine rocking-chair by their
grandchildren. The presentation speech was
made by Art. A. Smith, of Danville. Rev.

youngest grandchildren, an infant daughter

Mrs Allen, giving lengthy and humorous
description of the wedding at PutnamvilIe
fifty years ago. and the journey from there
to -he groom's home in Salem, in a one
horse chariot"
All were seated at sumptuous din
ner and as Mr.. Allen turned up
his plate a purse of shining
gold was found. Later in the day picture
of the family and residence was taken.
At night many of Mr.. and Mrs. Aliens
friends called, leaving congratulations and
some substantial presents. Among these
was a fine gold-headed cane presented by the
faculty of Asbury University. Mr.. Allen
has always been warm friend to the insti-
tuition, and numbers all the professors, past
and present, among his friends.

Minnesota wheat and Corn.

St. PAUL, Nov. 3.-The Statistical Agent
for Minnesota of the United States Agricul-
tural Department reports the corn crop this
year as averaging twenty and two-tenths
bushels per acre. the quality being forty-fye
per cent. of good average yield. Reports
coming in the past month indicate that the
yield of wheat is proving better than antic-
pated, and it is believed an average of
1445-100 bushels per acre through the State
will be found too small, owing to the fact
that the opinion as to quantity of the yield
was formed from the quantity of straw, as
the proportion of wheat very much exceeds
what has ever been known to be produced
from the same quantity of straw before. In
one instance it was reported that 200 bushels
more OF wheat was threshed from five stacks
than were obtained from eight stacks of the
same size last year. The quality of this
years wheat is conceded to be good No. /.

Bloomington Cll.) Leader.
o. A. Carpenter was taken to the court
house at Lincoln, on Saturday morning, to
answer in preliminary examination for the
murder of Fora Burns. The hall and stairs
OF the building were so crowded that it was
all but impossible to get to the courtroom.
Arriving in the room, and order being re-
stored Squire Maltby arose and announced
that the trial would be continued until Mon
day, and that all the witnesses should be
present at 9 o'clock or they would be subject
to attachment. The reason assigned Tor the
continuance is said TO be that the defense
had fears, there being so many people in the
city, that violence would be DONE Fora $
father swears that Carpenter shall never
walk the streets a free man. Bat this
threat is perhaps bornof the old gentleman's
strong feelings over the sad and horrible
death of his daughter.
Some twenty witnesses are subpoenaed for
the State, and the subpoenas for the defense
are made out, but are in blank so far as the
names are concerned, The lady who found
the body in the lane was the only lady wit
ness present. Mr.. Burns, the father of Fora,
and the young Dukes are on hand.

Decidedly BuIlish Feeling Characterizing
the Chicago Market
CHICAGO Nov. 3.-'Hhe bull side in wheat
is daily gaining in numbers and confidence,
and to-day the bull feeling seemed to be Sin
the air to an eminent extent" In the air, "
said well-known dealer to-day, 'that's it
exactly. It's in the air; and mark what 1
tell you, when the man in the air opens his
campaign let everybody get under cover
The man in the air does things without reason
or sense, but he does them just the same and
the result always goes his way. Neither COM
binations, cliques nor syndicates, with their
millions of money and inexhaustible nerve,
can make Roadway against that mysterious,
unknown, indefinable potency, the man in
the air. He seems Just now to be buying
wheat. Nobody knows who he is, or how
many of him there are; but he has evidently
taken bold of wheat, and it's no use to buck
against him."
The meaning of this highly fgurative dis
QUESTION is that wheat is on the up-turn, and
nobody can tell how or why 1t is who is do
ing it. or what is going to be done. The mar
ket, to-day, was very active, and, though not
maintaining the whole of the advance, the
market closes with an mprovement over last
night of fully &c per bushel. On the sharp
bulge above &c for January good deal OF
long wheat was sold, the principal buyers be-
ing shorts and commission men with stop
orders. Foreign advices were better in tone
and price, outside markets were frmer, and
altogether the situation was quite favorable
one for the bulls The advance, so far, has
been quiet and moderate, and at the same
time the market shows stability which is
encouraging to the believers in the long side
Corn was particularly active and very
strong on nearby deliveries. November
corn is practically cornered, and now crowds
May closely. The receipts are much lighter,
and the shipping demand keeps up to the full
capacity of vessel room available. With so
small a stock of corn as we now have in store,
there is no telling what may be done with
Novemb Der corn. The outward movement of
stuff will be large from this to the close of
navigation.
Trading in provisions has been restricted
by the large receipts of hogs, and outsiders
have been bac kward in taking hold. Pork
was rather quiet but was firmer and higher,
mainly in sympathy with the grain markets,
selling up 10@1214c per barrel above yester-
days closing, and closed rather steady.
