THE H. B. CLAFLIN CO. FAILS
Gigantic Mercantile Collapse in New
York, Involving Big Stores in
Many Other Cities.

New York, June 25.-The most
colossal mercantile failure in the
history Of the United States was re-
corded today when the H. B. Clafiin
company passed into the hands of
federal receivers. The assets are
placed at S44, 900, 900, liabilities at
S34, 10000 with contingent liabili-
ties that will increase the indebted
ness close to $40, 900, 900. Twenty
seven stores in New York and other
cities throughout the country are
affected. Many of these will be
closed temporarily pending taking
over their affairs by the receivers.
John 3. Clafin as a result of the
failure resigned the presidency of the
United Dry Goods and Associate Mer-
chants companies late in the after
noon. Thus after seventy one years
the association of the name of Clafiin
with the commercial life of New York
passes into history. Cornelius n.
Bliss was elected by the directors of
the United Dry Goods and Associat-
ed Merchants companies to succeed
Mr.. Claflin.

A Word About BeetOwn Cemetery.

There was good work done at the
Beetown Cemetery "bee, on 18th
inst, enough and to spare for the
dinner, as always at a Beetown dona-
tion feast.
The turnout of helpers was not
large because of the brevity in time
of notice.
There is some misunderstanding as
to the cemetery funds, and there was
a bit of heart-ache caused that day
which was uncalled for. The gates
recently purchased by NJ. c. Edwards
for the fence at the foot of the hill
are already paid for by special sub
scription solicited by himself and the
writer of this. Mrs. Allen herself is
one of the donators TO the fund. She
is justified as to the care of the
money retained and B. D. S. had
perfect right to choose her own sue
cessor, as can be shown by the
minutes of the last business meet
ing, regarding the cemetery, held in
Beetown. One or two cannot form
an association. But an association
should be had at Beetown. 1t is the
only smooth way and the only proper
way in which our little lefty of the
dead that sacred ground so dear to
many hearts, can be rightly cared for.
Why don't you do that, friends, and
then elect your officers and regulate
orders in a business manner? This
article is sent out in all kindness
with malice toward none. But it
hurts a little when one has done his
best-to have rectitude questioned by
others who perhaps have not always
quite obeyed Christ's Golden Rule.

LANCASTER DRY TOWN
BEGINNING TODAY
The NO-License Law Now in
Force in City.
Went Into Effect at Midnight Yester-
day-First Time Without Sa-
looms in Forty Years.

The no-license law went into effect
in Lancaster yesterday at midnight
and for the first time in forty years
it becomes impossible today to pur
chase Intoxicating liquor of any
character. For years there have
been seven saloons in the city, in
segregated locations. For years the
question of no-license has been a
feature at each recurring city cleo
tion and small majoritles have been
returned in favor of permitting their
existence, until last spring, when
those opposed to saloons rolled up
majority of rs votes against the con-
tinuation Of the traffic and the law
which puts them out OF business for
year went into effect last night at
midnight.
About three weeks ago the place
run by Geo. Wetter was closed by
his creditors, which left only six
saloons in operation, to be effected
by the law. Whether or not the
passing of these places will have
depressing effect on the commercial
business of the town remains to be
demonstrated. Many think it will.
Others hold that it will be help to
business because men who spent
their money in saloons will now spend
it for better purposes, will become
better men, and will be more prompt
in paying their obligations.
As to the future, John Schmidt
has fitted up a temperance saloon and
intends continuing business at the
old stand with soft drinks; Delos
Edwards expects to go to Colorado
very soon to look after some mining
interests; it is understood that Fred
Wenzel will take charge of some
highway work for the county under
contract with the Lancaster Bridge
Works, and August Wenzel will con-
duct pool room and lunch room. I.
S. Blewett's plans are not announced.
1t is probable that some of the build
ings used for saloon purpose will
soon become available for use in
other lines of business.
No-license also goes into effect IN
Fennimore, today. Saloons will con-
tinue to operate in Platteville,
Potosi, Rockville, British Hollow,
and Sitter, this county, and will
reopen at North Andover and Glen
Haven, which have been dry during
the past year.
