the members Of tho Fire Companies for
great and persistent labors that saved my
house and block Of buildings, It the IRE last
Saturday night Those fremen worked noe
bly,, and under most diseouraging circum.
stances. They had no water and insufficient
hose. As ono Of the Tax-Payers OF keo

property 10 thus constantly endaL 1sred? Why
don't Ne have eisterns, and those cisterns
kept supplied with water? Why are not our
Fire companies supplied with hose and nec-
essary equipments to make them effect !?
Never we're better or more willing fren >,
but they cannot do, unless they have some
thing to do with. believe we pay taxes
enough 70 have the cisterns. the water, and

The Loss or THE SASH FAcroRY.-We
have given the particulars Of the destruction
by fire Of the Sash Factory Of Messrs. s. c.
Is 8. Carter. This is sad loss to those gen.
tlemen and to Keokuk As well. We have, 1t
the most, too few manufacturing establish
ments, and the one destroyed WAS one OF our
best. The Messrs. Carer have Tor many
years been residents Of IT.. city, They COM
menced with slender q, aud worked
steadily in their effort - build up . large
mandatory. Year by year they added, by
industry and economy, to their capital and
used that to enlarge their business. Our cit
liens have seen the results; those gentlemen
themselves best know BY what persistent ef-
fort, by what studious economy and careful
and un,iring industry they succeeded in es.
tablishing the Factory destroyed Saturday
night. II was the hard work Of sixteen
years, during which they have teen among
our most industrious, enterprising, public
spirited and respected citizens. Their labors
and their successes have been yearly good
to our city. We hope that, stripped as this
fire has left them Of nearly every dollar Of
the earnings of all those years, they will be-
gin again business in Keokuk. And in that
beginning we doubt not they will have the
hearty, generous and continued support Of
the people of Keokuk.
The loss which they sustained by this FIRE
will amount to the estimated sum given in
our Sunday Mornings report, viz: $25, 900.
The value Of the lumber destroyed is esti>
mated at $1b, 900, and the building and ma
chinery at $4,000. There WAS in the build
ing about $1,000 worth Of unfinished work.
The tools together with the major portion Of
the machinery are total loss. In addition
chanics employed At the factory met with
losses in the way Of tools. Among other
losses are the following: The firm of Magoon
4 Andrews had several hundred dollars
worth Of lumber At the factory, which was
destroyed. Mr.. Corruthers, Of Knoxville,
met with loss Of from SIS 90 to 800 in the
same manner. Pat Kennedy stables in the
rear Of the factory were destroyed. Loss about
$500. Vim. Harris building on the East was
somewhat damaged, and only saved from en-.
tire destruction by the most energetic efforts
The factory and it's surroundings being all Of
combustible material, the FIRE was . very
brilliant one and was seen at . distance of
fifteen miles. Flying embers in some in
stances reached the river before they became
extinguished. 1t was certainly the most sx-
tensive and destructive FIRE tbs has ever
yiaited Keokuk.

ported by the committee June 9Th. The

have other good evidence to warrant US

fact of a favorable report from the com

For the Advertiser.
New Sunday School,

There has been a Sabbath School or
ganized in School District No. 6, in
Town 5. Range Is, called New Eadon.
1t has a very good library, one semi and
two monthly periodicals, for which they
acknowledge much Indebtedness 10 the
good people of BrOwnville for valuable
assistance.
The School is under the management
Of John G. Skeen and MI. Amarla Dodd,
two highly esteemed christian gentlemen,
who are well qualified to fill the place
assigned them.
The School, though recently organized,
is becoming quite interesting. We have
an average attendance each Sabbath of
fifty scholars and six teachers, and the
instruction impaired is already having a
good effect upon both young and old (;
and through it they will form more cor
rect habits Oh the Lords day, and have
a greater respect for all christian insti-
tutions.
We hope our friends in Brownyille
will visit US often, and encourage us by
their presence and example. Il is our
ever ~unceasing desire toteach our young
friends 10 walk in wisdom's ways, 20 ev-
er adhere to the truth-the mighty cor
ner stone of socie:y-that when they
reach the years of maturity they will not
say as we fear to many have, 81 never
received the benefit of a Sabbath School
never was taught to read, Gods word
or obey his commandments" The held
for christian effort is wide and but little
cultivated but few are receiving the
proper instructions, and taught TO obey
the commandments of Heaven and to feel
the great importance of an ever ready
instant preparation for a sudden calling
from time to eternity before the bar of
infinite Justice. May our Summers la
Dor not pass away without finding us bet
