FAVORlTES PROVE
 .DISAPPOINT NTMEuTS
 AT BELMONT PARK

New York, Sept. 15-The merry game of knocking down hot fayorites continued at Belmont Park yesterday. Among the first choices beaten were two senf to the post by &. c. .HiIdreth, who besides accepting the responsibil- ity of training for August Belmont, trains and races a s.able of his own.
 The unaccountable poor showing of Serenest. the Hildreth candidate in the first race, did not shake the conf dence in the same owner s Viewpoint, when the Belmont castoff trotted out, looking fit and handsome, for the Ce- darhustS Handicap, which was the fea- ture of the card. The prospects of Viewpoint looked all the mos rosy because there was general ydisposi- ton on the part of the layers to slight J. E.. Widener's Chic1et, the top weight of the four starters. This al- lowed Viewpoint to become strongly entrenched favorite, with Daddys Choice and Wistful the outsider
 Chiclet ran in g. manner indicated by the betting, Keogh keeping a strong pull on him and failing to take advantage of his early speed. In spite of the restraining hand of Keogh Chiciet made the pace for the greater part or Che mile ana a sixteenth, with Viewpoint and Daddy's Choice in close attendance. and Wistful trailing of gradually so that she was eight lengths behind on the last turn.
 Nearing the home stretch Butwell made his move with Viewpoint, but though he went by Chiclet easily enough he never could get far away from Daddy's Choice. Wistful also began closing and, saving ground turn ing into the stretch, came with such a rush that she shot into the lead al the sixteenth pole. The fayorite was done with then and the two outsiders fought 1t out for first money, witE Buxton outr1ding Lyke and landing Daddy's Choice in front by half z length. Wistful beat Viewpoint by ! five lengths for the place.
 Archdale, the choice in the steep1e chase, ended the hopes of his ibacker. by falling at the second jump, 1eav | ing D. Raymond's Reddest the oppor | tunity to win easily from the veteran | Web Carter. John Sahford's Gex | at odds of g to 20, was the first ia
 vorite to win, but he had all he coult do to beat Captain Cassatt's Buck.

Why did Charley Herzog aa1it the Giants so suddenly and go to his home in Maryland? At first it was an nounced, that the second baseman had been given permission to go home for & rest in order that. he might be in shape for the worlds series. Later Owner Hempstea1 of the Giants de- nied any such permission had been extended. Then followed ranors that Herzog had a fight with Manager Mc- Graw and decided to take a vacation regardless of orders. Another story was that Herzog had trouble with his fellow players. Anyway Herzog is having his vacation and nobody knows whether it was given to him or whether he just took it.

STOCK SOLD TO J. ID. RIEDE OF
HASTINGS WHO INAUGURATES
A CLOSING OUT SALE.
BUSINESS STARTED IN 1857
Frank w. Seiiick Was First Prour;etor
w. X. Sellick in Charge of Business.
Since 1889.

w. r. Sellick has sold his dry goods
STOCK and will retire from active busi-
ness. j. d. Riede of Hastings, is now
the owner, and the store is closed for
the purpose of marking goods and
getting everything in readiness for the
big closing out sale which will start
next Thursday. June 2S. Mr.. Riede
states that every article in this large
stock of goods will be marked down,
and 1t is his intention to close out the
entire stock within twenty days. A.
full page "ad" in this issue will give
the complete details of the sale.
The Sellick store has been one of
the landmarks in Van Buren, county.
1t was opened for business in 1857. by
Frank w. Sellick. In 1861 VIM. ]. Sell
lick purchased an interest in the busi-
ness, the firm name then being F. w.
and w. j. Sellick. few years later.
F, w. Sellick retired from the busi-
ness, and Robert Sellick entered the
firm, it becoming then w. j. and r.
Sellick This partnership existed un-
til 1884, when Robert Sellick sold his
interest and move to Lockport, New
York The business was then contin-
ued by VIM. ]. Sellick as sole proprie-
tor. About the year 1889. w. r. Sell
lick was admitted into partnership
with his father the firm name then
becoming w. ]. Sellick and Son, which
continued until the year 1900, when
the senior member of the firm retired,
leaving w. r. Sellick as sole proprie-
tor and owner The business was con-
tinued by. him from that time until
the present. For number of years.
w. r. Sellick's health has not been
robust, and he is now situated so he
can retire from the business take care
of himself and enjoy his remaining
days The Sellick store has always
borne the reputation Of being one of
the best in Van Buren, county. and in
years gone by. it was no uncommon
thing for customers to come to this
store from all parts of the county. 1t
is with regret on the part of the en-
tire community that this store is to
close, and that Mr. Sellick is to retire
from active business, but we are
pleased to announce that Paw Paw is
TO be the Sellick's home. and that now
he will have more leisure time to min
gle with his legion of friends.
We are unable to announce the fu-
ture of the store. Mr.. Riede, the own
er of the business, states that the en-
tire stock which is large and complete
in every detail, will be closed out. AS
already stated the sale starts next
week Thursday. Mr.. Riede is pleas
ant gentleman to meet, and it is hoped
that he may engage in a permanent
mercantile business here.

YEIDER is AFTER EVERY
SPEED MANIAC IN COUNTRY.

Deputy Sheriff Yeider still keeps up
the good work in the crusade against
the ESpeed Bugs" Since last weeks
issue of this paper, so arrests have
been made for violating the speed
limit laws of the state. That makes
a total of about 20 convictions since
officer Yeider assumed his new duties.
Yeider was criticized quite severely in
a recent issue of the Bangor Advance,
and charged with drawing a gun on
one of the reputable citizens of that
village in making an arrest. Yeider
denies the allegation; says he needs
no gun and furthermore has not had
a gun of any kind on his person since
assuming his duties as special deputy.
Naturally he feels the unjust criticism
keenly and it is probable that the end
is not yet.
