The Iowa City Reporter, one Of the
ablest newspapers Of the State, his sos-
pended publication having cold out
material, business and good will to the
Republican. The reason assigned for 'b's
step is want Of patronage. We are
sorry to miss the countenance OF the
Reporter.
Tho Press, also. Of the same city, has
suspended, permanently, we understand.
Iowa City is thus lett with one paper

conducted as heretofore, with vIgor.
Speaking Of suspensions, We may say
that there are many of them this Fall.
War times fall heavily upon newspaper
enterprise, except in the more favored
localities, and even there. the falling of
in advertising patronage and job work,
is scarcely made up, we believe, by the
,nrrease 10 circulation.

in this State, we notice the Daily and
Weekly Keokuk Journal, the Daily and
Weekly Muscatine Revie,o, the Weekly
Des Moines journal, (merged,) the
