Regarding the Logan Failure

Since the recent failures at Logan,
various reports have been circulated
as the causes thereof. One of the ru-
m6rs was to the effect thatth failures
were the elimination of sharp bust
ness rivalry which has existed in that
place since the establishment of the
Department store there about q year
ago The communication. written by
e. $. Garrison, County Clerk, appeared
in this mornings Nonpsreil:
''In recent issue of The Nonpareil
there appeared . statement by one of
its correspondents, purporting to give
the reasons for The recent failures here
The story as told by him Was that the
failures were attributable TO fight
that had been going on for some years
between local lumber company and
business men of this city. 1t was sta
ted that the lumber company had q
monopoly, in small way, and that Q
number of farmers and business men
organized q cooperative company to
sell lumber in opposition to this firm,
whereupon the firm proceeded to retail.
late by establishing q departments store
and selling goods at such cut prices as
to be ruinous to competitors.
"fhe fact is that the assignment of
Berkeley & Co.. is in no manner due to
any such causes as above given. 1t is
true that when the department store
was started in this city 1t was feared
that the result would not be beneficial
to the interests of the other stores, out
time has proven that this store has
drawn trade from a larger territory
than Logan has enjoyed before, and
has been q drawing card to the town
and the merchants therein.
"Berkley u Co., made more money
last year than in any year of its exist
ence, and the assignment was volunta-
ry, simply to assist the firm of Harvey
y Ford. MIR. Harvey having large
interest in Berkeley s. Co. This was
the sole reason of the voluntary as
signment, the firm of Berkeley & Co.,
being absolutely solvent.
"a talk with merchants of this city
brings forth the information that they
have each and all enjoyed greater
prosperity during the past year than al
any time previous.
Edgar Shiller, manager of the de,
pertinent store, la very much inoensed
at the story thus sent forth and feels q
great injustice has been done the com
munity, and especially the firm he rep,
Sesents. and desires that the public un
4 derstand that he is in no way connec
ted with article and that its source !.
unknown to him. Just where it ori
ginated and what motive prompted i,
is unknown at this end of the line. bu
all unite in declaring the alleged caus
es of the failures to be untrue"

Death Of Charles Riekenberr,

T.. Z
Boone people were panied but
not surprised to learn Of the death
from consumption of Charles
Riekenberg which occurred about
$50 o'clock today, at the resi-
dence of his brother, John Rick
enberg, Tama street, city. It has
been known for many weeks past
that the end was near and the
treatment he had received
had only served to prolong
his life. He returned just
few days ago from Texas, where
he had gone from Mexico in quest
of more beneficial climate condi-
tions. He went to Mexico from
Colorado where he had gone from
Iowa about a year and half ago.
Charles Riekenburg was born
in the city of Boone about the
year 1874. He grew to manhood
in our midst and when old enough
to enter business became partner
with his brother, John Rieken-
berg, in the dry goods business n.
this city. He had been in busi-
ness here about eight years when
stricken with very severe attack
of typhoid fever. From this i'll
ness he never fully recovered.
The illness left his health in such
a state that he soon contracted
consumption which has caused
his death.
OF the near relatives his mother.
Mrs J G Riekenberg, and two
brothers and two sisters survive
him. They are John and Ed
Riekenberg, city, and Mesdames
