steps for perfect organization, and be pre-
pared TO 20 to work as soon as our c lnd-
date shall have been nominated at Cn' cago.
Let Clubs be organized in every Tow 'nship
throughout the county immediately.
ScARcr.-Lumbcr Of every descr .ption is
very scarce in our city at present, and many
who intended to build this season are COM
PEELED to postpone it on account of the scar
city Of the article Mcssrs. Dessaint L

THASKs.-We are in receipt Of fine bot
tie Of Native Catawba Wine, from our
friend John Callwell, first door v-, st of Me-
tropolitan Block, up stairs. John is going
to California, and has few case Of this
choice Wine to dispose OF. This he ing pure,
Is excellent for med; ;cinal use, a. well as
for the cable.
FlRE.-Abor.t 10 o'clock the alarm of fire
was raised which resulted fiom the burn
ing OF stable on Second street, he tween
War rem and Brown. The destruction of
fore valuable buildings was threatened,
but the prompt arrival of the fire t:ompa-
Mics soon extnguished the flames Loss
triiing and no insurance.
! Bully FOR TIE PioSEERs.-Last CIV ening,
at the fire, while the Pioneer Hook Il Lad
der company were doing their best to stop
the progress of the flames, gentleman
went and got bucket of whishcy and
! brought TO the boys and asked them to
drink, but they kindly thanked him and
told him that the Hook 4 Ladder boys did
not drink whiskcy while working at fire.
This is good idea If any body wishes 10
treat the frcmen while at work let them
send them lager beer, and not 9 hot fire "
whisky, which but TOO often creates bad
blood
IL EAESEsr.-B notice published else
where it will be seen that the military au
thoritcs are getting in earnest about the en-
forcemcnt of the State MALTA law and gen.
cral order No. 2S. If these regulations are
not voluntarily complied with, compulso
tary measures will at once be adopted, and
then the privilege Of the delnguents Of se-
lecti their officers will be prohibited We
are glad to observe that there is little in
clination on the part OF our citizens to do
something, and that a meeting has been
called for this evening, to be held at lie
1 Clair Hall. Let it be we'll attended, and let
the people all work with determination.
CANNING Fruit WITHOUT SUGAR.-A Cor
respondent Of the Country Gentleman sea-
sonab!y reminds us that many fruits may
be preserved with little or no sugar quite a
desidcratum in these times. He says: Cur
rants, gooseberries, peaches and pears re-
lquirc no sugar to presevc them. Rasber-
ries and blackberrics, do not require more
than four ounces ofsugar to pound Of fruit
land Strawberries but little more. We have
now the different kinds, nearly as fresh and
good as whan first gathered. Put them up
the same as if you used the usual quantity
Of sugar; that is expel the cold air by heat
ing the fruit after it is place in the jars. by
setting the jars in cold water, which heat
to boiling. The jars that we use arc self
sealing, with zinc covers, which can be
screwed on before the jars is removed from
the hot water. We have never lost jar Of
fruit put up in them.
WHOLESALE TRADE-The wholesale trade
of our city is constantly increasing, espec-
tally in the grocery trade, and several new
houses have been started within the past
Ayear. Among the latter the house Of J.
Schreiber, corner Front and Brady streets,
has met with unparalleled success. It has
already established most enviable reputa.
ton throughout Central Iowa, for the rea.
son that none but first class goods are kept
snd secondly because he sells goods IS low
as they can be obtained in Chicago. Mr.
Schneider has great facilities for purchasing
goods in the Eastern markets, and takes
good care to obtain them at the right mo
ment, and thus he is enabled to sell ct I
figure that has surprised many merchant
who has been in the habit Of buying fur.
