Rock all aloft and breakers on the lee.
The winds adverse, the waves importunate
When thou. in our misfortune fortunate
Accepting elevation reverently

Didst take command of the good Ship OF State.
Thou hast commanded well; thy term Is done.

And few will say thou hast not honor won.
Or call thee great by accident again:
And when one prays. God bless thee, there is

WINoNA, ALMA Is NORTHERN. We
are informed from reliable sources that
all work on the East Shore road has
been abandoned until August next.
Two reasons are given by those who
speculate rs TO the cause of this DELAY.
one of which would dash the hopes of
the western part of the county most
etlectually. The most pessimistic guess
es assert that the Chicago. Milwaukee
q St Paul Il. r. Co. have bought out
the projectors OF the East Shore road:
and as the st. Paul Co. already own the
West Shore road they will do nothing
towards completing the Winona, Alma
and Northern. The other class of prob
lem solgers assert that the delay merely
indicates that funds are lacking to carry
on the work, AMI the projectors must
wait the return of general prosperity
before they can raise means to complete
their desirable undertaking. We in
cline, for various reasons, to the latter
view.

OUR WOODEN MfLL.-The Lancaster
wooden mill will start up full force Mon
day next. Like similar institutions all
over the country the proprietors of our
mill have found it advantageous to shut
down during portion of the dull season
rather than stock up too heavily upon
uncertain markets. The mill has not
shut down. except to repair, for more
than four months altogether in the five
years it has been owned by the present
proprietors, and has never reduced
wages during that period. The revival
of trade in woolens will again see the
Lancaster wooden mill running overtime
as it often has in the past

COMM ERCIAL.


The Markets.
The nervousness noted in the markets
last week has continued. War rumors,
the cause of last weeks excitement, have
died out. only to give place to crop
scares. 1t is generally thought that the
coming crop of winter wheat has been
very much damaged, owing to the con-
tinued cold and dry weather. Kentucky
reports its crop as in deplorable con-
dition, and estimates the loss at so per
cent. Kansas is as bad. Illinois, Ohio,
Missouri and California all send similar
reports, the latter complaining loudly
about the want of rain. There has not
been much spring seeding done yet, al
though there have been reports of some
blowing and seeding done in parts of
Dakota and Nebraska, but they are few
and far between. The prospects are
that Grant county and the United States
generally will have very late and
backward spring.
The hog market the past week has
ruled fairly active with declining ten
dency. The receipts of hogs at Chicago
were about 100000. The quality not
being as good as last week, the prices
were about 10(9l5c lower at the closing.
Sales ranged at 4.S0(94.70 for light;
4.35(G4.55 for rough packing. and A. GOA
ass for heavy shipping lots. The Lam
caster receipts were not very heavy, be-
ing so hogs. and prices paid ranged
from 4.00G4.35, most of the hogs being
very light and bringing about 400.
Mr.. Joe Bennett, a young farmer of
Little Grant, shipped to Chicago cars
of cattle and l of hogs, Tuesday. Mr..
Chas. Govier also shipped car of cattle
Tuesday to-ihe same place.

mostly outside Of regular school work.
The exercises showed careful training
Of the participants by Professor Wood

what is not always seen in exhibitions
of this character, the talents of individ-

than now. We hope that as much en-
thusiasm and generosity will be mani
tested toward this good object as is
shown by some citizens for the other
class of attractions.

JUsr FOR GREENS In spite of a
Democratic administration, spring is
coming. Water-cresses have appeared
on the table, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that before the Fourth of July
the springtime violets will ope their
beauteous eyes. Our advice to the
springtime violets, however, is that they
cannot be too careful. Any indiscretion
at this season of the year is sure to re-
suit in a succession of complications,
the only cure for which is sold by all
druggists. Mention this paper.
