MILWAUKEE, June The Plankinron
bank, which stood hard run two weeks
ago. alter it became known through the
failure OF f. A. Lappen x Co. that the in
stitution had loaned S2l9,0 900 TO that firm,
closed Its doors this morning and made an
assignment this afternoon. notice was
placed upon the door which stated that
on account of the failure of efforts to re-
organize the bank ana the constant with
dTawal OF deposits, II was thought best to
close the bank. The LapDen inventory
was finished yesterday evening and the
poor showing OF assets made by it settled
the bank
The Plantations recorded claims against
the Lappen business aggregated S2l9. 900.
The claims OF Robert fill and NJ. Ian
dauer, ali of which take precedence o.
the Planklnton, aggregate $4,000. The
inventory OF the Lappen stock shows
total Of only S20S000S2. Allowing
500, 900 OF this amount for the satisfaction
OF Hui and Landauer claims, there is lsft
but Sl53,O00S2 toward making good the
Plankinton claim.
Just before the Lsppen failure the
sight and time deposits amounted to
100000 in round figures. The money,
OF course, in regular order of banking bus
mess was scattered about in loans of
small amounts. The Plantations prin-
cipal correspondence abroad was with the
National bank of the Republic, the
U. S. national bank OF New York and the
Continental national of Chicago.
The condition Of its bus
mess with these concerns is
said to be bad, and il is unofiically stated
that the 100000 that came TO the relief Of
the Pisnkinton during the run came from
Chicago, and Was sent by the Continental
national.
The Plankinton bank was organized in
1887 by the late John Plan kinton, the
millionaire pork packer L. T. Day was
was one of Mr.. Plankinton's active CO..
workers in the organization. Mr.. Plankin-
ton was the first president, but Mr.. Day as
sumed the active management of the bust
ness from the start. After the death of Mr..
Plankinton Mr.. Day was elected presi-
dent and William Plankinton, son of the
founder, was chosen vice-president to
represent the stock of the Plankinton es-
tate and that he held by himself. The
assignment was made TO William Plankin-
ton, and this afternoon Mr.. Plankinton
was placed under bonds to the amount OF
81 100000 His bondsmen are John L.
Mitchell Charles Ray and David Fe.gu-
son. The state law regarding assignments
provides that the assignee's bond must be
placed at a figure equal TO the nominal
assets OF the involved firm. According to-
the bond the bank assets are sl.600.000.
With the failure OF the Plankinton bank
the chances for the reorganization of the
Lappen business fell fat. There is no
longer any hope that the proposed COM
pany can be organized.
Sheriff Dunn has In hands more than
S450.0O0 in claims against the happens
while the total value of the stock accord
ing to the appraised inventory is $685.

The Question of Editorial anonymity
Discussed By the French author.

M. Emile Zola, the distinguished French
novelist, who is wishing London, delivered
an address at the me#ing of the Institute OF
Journalists, held at the Mansion House, the
official residence of the Lord Mayor of Lon
don. The subject of his address was "An0ny'
nifty in journalism" He said among other
things that the British Press owed its power
and unquestionable authority to anonymity;
Politically the British newspaper existed
only to satisfy the opinion of its own party.
II has thus been made by a public which has
not been broken into fragments by a revolu-
ton. 1t was different in France, where the
fever of individuality carried away every
thing. The French were always seeking a
Messiah, and INDUCED IN ecstacies of devotion
to the new god of the moment.
Speaking of the claim made in soine quar-
ters that the signing Of articles in newspa-
pers insured their success. M. lola said that
he was we'll aware of the evils of u system
that had destroyed the authority of the
press, completed the destruction OF parties,
and which often descended to a mere personal
brawl. The spectacle presented was some
times heart rending. 1t must, he declared
convey a frightful impression abroad. Prob
ably an anonymity would restore honesty
and disinterestedness; but the existing sys-
tenn produced a splendid expenditure of
courage and details, whioh yielded light for
all. 1t was a gallop, leading perohanoe, to a
new world. He could not blame the French
press since 1t held out the hope of a better
society based upon justice and honor.
NJ. Zola strongly and adversely criticised
anonymity in literary and artistic articles,
which, he said, endangered the intellectual
vitality of the nation, and was likely to pro.
duce a mediocre and colorless literature. II
was impossible to approve of a man able 10

Bee Sting Poison for Acute
Rheumatism.

Mr.. John WorthiDgton, United States Con,
sui at Malta, has sent us q clipping from the
Malta Standard OF April IL. which states that
the theory that the virus of the bee-sting is
an infallible remedy for acute rheumatism
has received most unquestionable conirma-
ton from the practices of the country people
in Malta. Bees are said to be plentiful on
cure for rheumatism has been long estab-
lished. 1t is, in fact, said to have been a
common practice for generations past to
resort to this remedy in all severe cases, the
results being most favorable.-Bulletin OF
Diuision Of Entomology, Department of Agri-
culture, Vol. v, Nc. 5.
[The above remedy has been recommended
by various writer's in this country. 1t is very
simple. Catch a bee and lay him on the bare
spot, he will do the rest. If one bee does not
complete the job, then get another. There
are plenty in the hive.-ED.J

No Blanks Inn This Competition.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. It is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors riskiug the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling his
for the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who he ps himself to the best ad.
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something that
would be we'll worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
pany's competition, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. He has a substantial re-
suit to show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from tho fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.
