EXCLUSIVELY wHoLssAiR.-Abcut eleven

EXCLUSIVELY WHoLssAiR.-Abcut eleven
years ago, Charles Beiderbecks and Frank
Miller wandered into Davenport. They
were looking for place to invest their cap
tsl. which consisted Of any amount Of
pluck and very little ready cash. Being
modest, and desirous Of keeping within
bounds, they rented a small store way
down on Second street near Gaines, which
they stocked with general assortment Of
family groceries in . small wsy. Al that
time an extensive credit system was in
vogue in these parts, aud before they hal
been 10 business year they had credited
out more than they we're worth. The pan
ic of 81 found them in that shaky condi-
tion. and rendered their credit investments
permanent-the most Of them even uaso
this day. But by hard work and frugal liv-
ing they outrods that storm. and had near
y got upon their feet again, when their
store and good share of their stock WAS
destroyed by FIRE. Worse still the insur-
ancs they he'd upon thsir goods proved 81
mos. wo, thless, and they were down again.
But their pluck held out remarkably, and
instead Of whining about their III fortune
they came up town and rented . large store
on Second between Harrison and Ripley.
where they stocked up again and pitched
in for another battle with the world. From
that day they have been blessed with uni
form prosperity. They built up an extensive
retail trade and made frisnds by the hun
dred. Old scores were wiped out and in
three or four years they stood up among
the most reliable houses Of the city. From
the retail business they gradually merged
into the whole sale trade. They kept good
stock. and without any special effort on
their part country dealers began to come in.
and during the past year Or two their whole
cal. business has been 80 extensive that
they concluded to let the retail business
pass out Of their hands and 60 into the
wholesale trade exclusively. To do this e.
feo,ually they have abandoned their old
quarters and moved still farther up town
and row occupy the Otto Klug store. be.
tween Main and Harrison streets. This
store is $50 feet deep-runnng back to ths
slley-with cellar room sll the way through,
and store room in the second ard third sto
ries In short, they have the largest gro.
Gerry house in the city, and have II heavily
stocked from cellar to roof, and are ready
to supply the demand of the trade in ths
most prompt and satisfactory manner.
! This, in brief, is a history Of one Of ths
most substantial business houses in tha
State OF Iowa. Their struggles against I'D
verse fortune have been long and severe
but their indomitable enorgy, enterprise
and close attention to business has brough
them safe through. They are young yet
and have . broad land Of promise bsfeT'
them. The same line Of conduct in thei
business affairs that have brought them sc
safely over the rough road Of advsrsity, vii
insure them both ample fortunes.
The trade Of the surrounding country il
invited to call and sec them, before goinl
farther East. They can and will make i
to your advantage to patronize their estab

A WAsHINGToN dispatch says the re-
port of the majority of the New Orleans
riot commission is published. The COM
mission consisted of Messrs. Eliot of Mas
sachusetts, sShellabargerg Of Ohio, and
Bower of Pennsylvania. The majority
represent the state of affairs in Louisiana
as absolufely horrible, and take ground
in favor 81 speedy andradical measures
TO relieve the stricken Unionists of that
state. The report says:
In view of the facts proved, we are
constrained to say that the time has fully
arrived when Congress should interfere,
and should so legisiate rs to secure tothe
people OF Louisiana Republican form
Of fgoyerpmeHt.ss. The condition of things
existing there cannot continue consist
emily with the law or tie peace of the
loyal armies, the rebellion has assumed
another form, and now controlled the
Government through the same agencies
that led their armies in time of war
That Congressional action should be had,
is settled by fact, not opinion when men
are driven from their houses and their
lives threatened and property destroyed
when in business they are prescribed;
when recent rebels hold all places of
trust, and having power to use 1t, to OPP
press and punish men because they are
and have been loyal when the whole
body of colored men who have never
flinched from duty as radical loyalists
when the days were gloomiest and the
dangers greatest in the time of war, are
persecuted by system, hunted like wild
beasts and slaughtered without mercy,
and with immunity, there Is no room
left for doubt that some legislative rem
edy should be supplied. These are mat
ters of fact and not of opinion, and in our
judgment,but one course can and should
be pursued, and without hesitation or
delay, according TO the Judgment of all
who have felt the presence of the rebel
lion and have stood firmly and fearlessly
for the Union when treason WAS nearest
to success; whose Judgment, given upon
OATH is based upon facts within personal
experiences whOgive opinions resting up
ON knowledge, and speak of what they
have seen and know. The present gov
ernment of Louisiana, existing without
sanction of national law, should be sus-
pended by act of Congress and a prOvis-
ional government established and main-
tanned by military power until the time
shall come when Louisiana is controlled
by loyal men, and may be returned to
her former practical relations to the
Union without endangering security and
peace. D..Hs Il r' uGI 81 ItH.lfi
The report Is accompanied by bill
providing for the appointment of officers
for the new organization by the Presi-
dent, and provides that rebels shall be
enfranchised by going through natu-
ralization process, taking out papers from
the United States. ... ..
