FIRE At iowa C1TI:--We learn By m extra
from the bft1ce of the Iowa City Republican,
that fire broke out between II and. .ifo'clock,
Sunday night, In the boot and shoe store 'of
Joseph Workman, on Dubuque street. Before
the fames could be subdued, (thei wind blow
ing strong 1T the time, si1adjoining buildings,
| ali frame, were destroyed y, Tie business
houses burnt out In additon-t the above;
| were Robert Garter, saloon keeper John
| j. B.. Shactler, tobacconigt, and John Cur1ys
| saloon and residence The total loss Is be-
| tween 5000 aud $10, 600, on which there Was
| but little insurance. Five Of the buildings
belonged to L. B. d o. A. Patterson, on which
there was no insurance. One Of them is said
to have been the oldest building In iowa City.
| PRAIRIE FmIs.-For some nights past the
l.prairie fires, which, owing to the dry weather
and high winds, are raging earlier than usual
this spring. On the bluff on the opposite
E.shofe Of Illinois, fire has been burning fierce
| " for several days, and must be doing no In
considerable damage to the young trees, DC
In many Instances, We presume, these fires are
purely accidental, but some Of them are START
ed By persons either mtschievously disposed,
4ox who desire to burn the g1ass or brush from
some tract Of ground. Persons should be ex-
tremelY careful, when making outdoor fires,
to confine them to their own premises, as very
fences, and sometimes Buildings even, being
destroyed before the owners can take the ne
| eessarv steps to save them from the flames
