An extensive fire occurred in the town of Alexandria, Mo.,
opposite Keokuk, on Sunday morning last, consuming property to the amount of
$45,000. The Keokukers went over and
assisted to extinguish the flames.
RELEASED. – Frank Collins, arrested by Officer Teagarden on
Monday evening, on a warrant issued by Coroner Tomson, was yesterday released,
there being no legal evidence to sustain the charge against him.
ALMOST A FIRE. – An attempt at fire occurred in a shed in
the rear of Mr. R. E. Sickels’ residence, corner of Thirteenth and Main
streets, night before last. It was
discovered and extinguished before any great amount of harm was done.
WILD RICE. – We are indebted to Mr. Jas. D. Hogarty for a
package of wild rice, the native product of Wisconsin. We have eaten of this rice and found it
almost equal to the Southern production, being darker, more substantial and of
different favor. It is preferred by some
to the Southern article.
CHARITY NOT NEEDED. – We published a not the day before
yesterday, stating that Mrs. Knoeke, of this city was in an actual suffering
condition. We are informed since, by the
woman herself, that such is not the case, nor is she in condition to appeal to the
public for charity.
PROMPT ADJUSTMENT. – We are informed that Messrs. A. Green
& Co., and C. E. Converse, who were losers of grain by the recent fire
which destroyed the Elevator, have received from the New England and Lorillard
companies full satisfaction for the losses sustained at that fire.
BOOTS AND SHOES. – Neighbor Todd returned home yesterday,
after a trip to the East, where he has purchased an extensive lot of boots and
shoes, ladies’ slippers, gaiters, and everything in his line, which he is
receiving and opening at his store, Todd’s well-known corner.
NEW GOODS constantly arriving at Ordway’s, manufactured
expressly for the retail trade, which he is selling at prices that will defy
competition. Every one in want of boots
and shoes should call upon him before purchasing, for people do say that he is
selling a good quality of goods cheaper than any other house in the city. dlw
