SELMA FIRM BREAKS
COLEMAN AND BERNHARD IN IN- VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY.
Prominent Central City Wholesale Whiskey House Goes to Wall on Account of Extraordinarily
 Slow COllectiOnn.

Advertiser Bureau, Selma, Sept. 22. The firm of Colllnan and Barnhard, wholesale dealers in liquors, cigars
 and tobacco. were, thrown into in, ol- untary bankruptcy this morning. The liabilities are figured from $l5.-
 900 to $20, 1000.
 For the past two years the firm has been conducting wholesale business
 on Washington Street. They have done a large volume of business and had built up an excellent credit both with foreign houses and among the local merchants. It is stated that the object of the firm going into involuntary
 bankruptcy was for the purpose of pro- tecting their creditors,
 The firm did large credit business and the accounts which they have were against the firm have been falling due
 rapidly and as well as they could they have been paying all accounts. Last week the firm made arrange
 ments for $2,000 and upon the chance
 of getting this sum they sent off cheeks to that amount. When the time came to get this amount the man
 who was to let them have it did not materialize. These checks were pro- tected however, before they were re- turned.
 Other bills have fallen due rapidly and as they did not nave the money to meet their obli gations 1t was decided to go into involuntary bankruptcy. The principle foreign creditor which the firm has is J. A. Magnus and Company of Cincinnati.
 The stock which the firm has on hand is large enough to liquidate all indebtedness. I. Schwarz was ap- pointed receiver for their creditors Advertising, Montgomery's Fair. Ed. Mahoney, advertising agent for

Gated civilization, extended territory, and
international relations present subjects for
legislation that may make II seem pre-
sumptious in me TO ask for membership

training and the best of natural endow-

other two candidates and myself were

OF us is familiar with the routine of
legislative procedure, or has the advan-
t2ge of an organization to enlarge his ac-

man, but It is difficult to give an estimate

The federal grand jury at New York
handed down seven sealed indictments
in the sugar rebating cases. The indict-
ments are against the New York Central
railway, the American Sugar Refining
company, the New York Central & Hud-
son River railroad and employees of
these corporations. The indictments
were found under section $40 of the re-
vised statutes OF the United States, COM
monty known as the "Elkins antitrust
law" which provides penalties OF fine
not exceeding $4,000 or Imprisonment
not exceeding two years for giving. grant
ing, applying for, or accepting any re-
bate or concessions from the regular
freight rates as published by a railway
company as a common carrier. In the
case of the corporations it is probable
that the presidents or other important
officers will appear to answer 10 the in
dictments
