Etske & BEEN.

Mr.. Fiske of this well known clothing house,
the reputation of which is known from New,
York to California, returned last week, after n
four weeks visit among the large importing
houses Of the East in the clothing trade. He
made selections during that time Of a magnif-
cent supply Of goods for the spring trade. He took
unusual pains in picking out from the immense
stocks in the importers warehouses the very
choicest goods of each sort or variety that he
could find. He has thus secured the very best
stock OF piece goods that has ever been brought
to the wcst-no house in Chicago even is except
ed. 1t should be remembered that actual figures
show that no house at Chicago in the peculiar
line of this of Fiskc IL BEEN, during the past
two years has been even respectable rival to
this firm in manufacturing. Fiskc Il BEEN sup
ply goods to all parts of the compass northwest,
west and south west of this point, in the United
States. Within few days past they have filled
orders to parties in Salt Lake, San Francisco,
Bryant, Texas, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and diff
ferent places in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa and Missouri while the neighboring towns
around us, such as Norris Pontiac, Streator, &C.,
Sc., seem to be their peculiar territory In or
der to supply their largely increased demands,
they have bought very heavily this spring. In
order to make more room in their large estab
llshment, they cleared out their entire stock of
hats and caps to Messrs. Hull IL Bartcls. The
new styles of cloths that will be most worn are a
sort Of dim or scarcely pe.ceptiblo plaids and
are very pretty 1t is needless to add that they
keep full up with the fashions, so that any gen.
tleman ordering suit. from this house may rest
assured that his outfit will be a Ia D!ode

The Wochetbidu and Republican can cease their
whining over the call inserted in our last for n
democratic city convention. The city commit
tee was appointed last year for that sole purpose,
and the chairman felt that he had no discretion
but to obey instructions If the democrats Of
the city chose to act on the call wcl--if not,
well again it was no concern Of his. 1t appears
the democrats on Thursday evening, in the diff.
ferent wards deemed 1t useless to hold a city
convention and SO the matter drops The com
