Glen Haven.

Everything is quiet along the Missis-
sippi. The river is like stream of oil
gliding down to the gulf past the sweet
scented orange groves on the banks of
the Mississippi, intermingled with rice,
cotton and sugar plantations most beau
tiful to behold. Our palatial steamers
are now running on time, SO that per-
sons need not be delayed if they take the
trouble to inform themselves of the time
of arrival.
We have steam pile-driver at work
preparing for the tressle across the hol-
low 1t is quite novelty to many who
never before saw one work
The banks of the river look quite diff
ferent with the timber cut off and the
smooth grade ready for the ties and rails
that will deal death to some and pleasure
to the many who will be continually
passing over it. Contractor Bradbury
expects to ship his outfit next Wednes-
day. on the steamer Mary Morton down
the river for Nebraska. Contractor Nc
Laughlin has also about finished his
work here. He is already working a
| force of men on new contract in Ne
braska. Contractor Bert has about fin
ished up his work and would feel happy
over it if ii were not that he is severely
afflicted with rheumatism, making him
almost helpless. May his recovery be
speedy and lasting. Contractor Mangan
expects to be through in few days,
leaving a clear track for ties and rails.
The river is falling quite fast, leaving
little prospect of June rise.

we have been very fortunate in having

We have a crocodile show in a boat at
the bank of the river, which is quite a
treat for the little folks and some of the
old. There are also various kinds of Or
namental work together with beautiful
shells for sale.
Our new hotel keepers, Messrs Roys-

line of business, both having plenty of
patronage.

ACAyNINe FAcroRy-It Z evident

A CANNING FACTORY. 1t is evident
that if Lancaster is to grow any more it
must have some kind of manufacturing
industries. As simple trading point it
is now equal to the demands of the coun-
try within its reach, and as a shipping
point it is evident that it has not only
reached its maximum but that the COM
pletion of the c., b. & N. road will draw
something from its present business.
The question is, What manufactures will
pay? The manufacture of wooden has
been tried and was not successful. 1t is
evident that in the manufacture of so
great staple small concerns cannot
compete with those employing millions
Of capital. But in case of a canning
factory it would be different. From the
nature of the products they use the bust
ness is not ON gigantic scale, for the
products must be drawn from small
scope of country. Green vegetables and
fruits, at prices sufficiently low to make
canning profitable, win not bear distant
transportation and long storage, as WOO
will. Canning is a business which mus
be done in the neighborhood where the
products are grown. And the fertile
soil of this vicinity can furnish the
products and thus give employment to {
great many people. Why should W,
import canned corn from the sterile hill,
of Maine? The building lately occupied
as wooden factory would furnish am
pie and convenient room for the bust.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGO, Nav "a, 1886


The leading produce markets are only
fairly active; some of them are quite
dull, but the feeling is generally a
steady one.
There has been no such increase in
the volume of our grain receipts as was
promised to follow the close of the labor
strike on the railroads, and the pressure
is therefore less than many had antici-
pated, but the demand does not so
much exceed the supply as to cause and
uprush of prices.
Wheat is only moderately active and
lower. Outside interest is dull, and
trading is of a limited character.
Corn is lower in sympathy with wheat.
The corn in elevator is all right. but
some parties in the trade say they do
not dare to take corn for export unless
it passed the winter on the cob, as the
winter shelled may get ouJ of order on
the ocean. As the bulk of the vessel
demand just now is for export, the rea-
son for the discrimination noted is a
plausible one.
Oats are steady, demand fair and
about equal to the offerings.
Rye and barley are steady by reason
of fair demand and light offerings.
Vegetables are IN good demand, and
prices are firm.
Butter and cheese sell moderately at
former prices.
Eggs are weaker, while poultry and
game remain steady.
Small receipts stronger markets
abroad, and brisk local and shipping
demand, caused firm cattle market
and a slight advance in prices is noted.
Veal is active and firmer, calves bring
$3.50 to $3.50.
Hogs are higher in price, although
the arrivals are quite heavy, but they
are of the desirable kind.
Sheep are IN large supply and lower

A Grateful Nation.
HYMN FOR DECORATIONS

HYMN FOR DEcoRATIOaN DAY.
Again does grateful nation
Remember her fallen braves,
Again with her floral off'rings
She strews their honored graves,
Again does the song and the story
The patriot bosom thrill,
And though they are with the silent dead
Yet are they living still.
How oft does the past dread memory
Recall that fearful strife,
And sacrifices offered
To save the nations life.
Our torn and our blood-stained Banners.
The manned who wore the blue,
All speak OF the days when braua men. hletd
And died for me and you.
Tho time with her busy fingers
The tombstone will deface,
The sweetest flowers of Springtime.
Shall mark their resting place.
And future generations
With patriotic pride
Recount the battles they have WON
Who for their country died.
Again as we hear the story
1t scarcely seems day,
Tho twenty years have vanished
Since first they marched away.
How sad were the fearful partings,.
How many bosonas yearn
And sigh for the absent loved ones
Who never will resurn.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held in the court room of the city hall,
Saturday evening, to consider the ques-
ton of having Fourth of July celebra-
ton. Hon. j. " Holman was called
to the chair and w III. Peck was chosen
secretary. On motion it was agreed to
have celebration on Saturday, July g.
A general committee, consisting of the
following named gentlemen, was elected
to make the necessary arrangements: J.
w. Murphy, chairman; d. E. Gardner,
Geo. H. Gratiot, John Patterson, j. L.
Dawson, J. n. McGranahan, f. b.
Smith, Henry Bolte, ID. j. Gardner, j.
5. Block, Henry Kruse, G. b. Eastman,
j. A. Henry, II. H. Virgin, James Faw-
eett. That the celebration will be a
grand success is already a foregone con-
clusion. The committee is composed of
men who are regular old wheel-horses at
the business and who will leave nothing
undone that will in any way contribute
to make the occasion a glorious one.
The old-fogy notion that Platteville can
not have celebration every year, is
rapidly being exploded. Aside from any
patriotic considerations, Platteville
should have rousing Fourth of July
celebration every year.
1t gives the outside world to under
stand that our city is alive. 1t brings
immense crowds of people here. 1t in
duces our people to stay right at home,
and spend their extra change where il
benefits the town. Our city has long
been noted for having grand celebra.
tons. 1t has been often remarked il
adjoining towns that when Platteville
undertakes to do anything in this line, il
does nothing by halves.

To be Sung by Chorus Of Girls.

Again the Springs soft suns bins
Falls DER the silent graves,
Where peacefully are sleeping
Our heroes true and brave,
Our heroes true and brave.
No bugle-call shall wake them,
Their weary marches DER,
Nor fercest storm of battle
Break on their SAUNDERS more.
Though dead, they're unforgotten-
Their glorious deeds we sing,
And in commemoration
Our floral offerings bring.
We wreathe the marble pillars
That bear their honored names,
With flowers that grow the purer
To match their stainless fame,
To match their stainless fame.
The dear old flag they fought for
Waves in the Summer air;
The country that they died for
Is now serene and fair.
Hail then orr soldier heroes,
Your glorious deeds we sing.
And in commemoration
Our floral offerings bring.
Blow then, o wandering breezes.
And bear to every land
The story Of redemption
Wrought by our martyr band,
Wrought by our martyr band.
Sing all We birds of summer,
In chorus loud and long,
And celebrate their valor
In overlooking song.
Though dead they're unforgotten,
Their glorious deeds we sing,
And in commemoration
Our floral offerings bring.

A large oak block, about eighteen
inches in diameter, that had been knock
ing around in various Brooklyn, Me-,
lumber yards and wood-sheds, was split
up recently, and in it was found an augur
hole about three-fourths of an inch in
size, containing bunch of human hair
done up in piece of printed paper.
The hair was near the center of the
block and fastened in with pine plug.
1t was apparently put in when the tree
was quite small, as the tree had grown
over the plug to the thickness of about
four inches. with the grain perfectly
smooth and straight.
