A change In one of Norfolk's most Important business houses la an nounced today , the Johnson Dry Gooda company having disposed of their bnnlnoHH to A. L. Kllllnn of Wahoo.

Mr. Klllian arrived in Nor folk last evening. The retirement of the firm of the Johnson Dry Goods company from the business field of Norfolk Is an nn- nouncemonl that will bo received by genuine regret in Norfolk. The rea son for the retirement of the firm lies in the III health of W. II. Johnson , Who since 1888 has acted as general nanager of the store. Mr. Johnson ins been away from Norfolk for sov- 3ral months and at present has his : iomo in Denver. Began In 1888. The Johnson Dry Goods company was organized in Norfolk In 1888 by A. J. Johnson and sons , W. II. and O. J. Johnson , who came to Norfolk thai year from Illinois. Of the firm which was to build up the largest dry goods business in northern Nebraska W. II. Johnson , who became manager of the business , alone had had business ex perience. Today the store building of the John- ion Dry Goods company has a front age of fifty feet and a deptli of a hun dred nnd fifty feet. Back in 1888 a twenty foot frontage and a depth of eighty feet sufficed to hold their stock. As the business has developed it was built up on principles thai gave Iho firm a substantial foothold in northern Nebraska. In 1901 a change in the firm membership occurred , Robert Johnson succeeding to the firm on the death of his father , A. J. Johnson. The business of Ihe Johnson Dry Goods company Is a business in dry goods , shoes and carpels. In recent years a mail order business has been built up by the firm , working along the same principles which brought success at the first. Today the firm , which is to retire next month , cm- ploys a force of len salespeople , main tains a large dressmaking establish ment where additional employment Is afforded and carries a stock of about $50,000 value.

Mr. Klllian is Iho youngesl of Iho five brolhers who have bulll up Wa- hoo's big store , a store which Is said to successfully meet Omaha and Lin coln competition. In removing to Norfolk to connect himself with a business enterprise of his own , Mr. Killlan was impressed with the oppor tunities offered In a business way by Norfolk's location in the center of northern Nebraska. A business man of experience , Mr. Klllian also has thai lype of energy oflen characlerlz- Ing Ihe younger member of a firm seeking lo establish a new business for himself. Mr. Klllian Is very high ly spoken of by all Wahoo people. Ho will bring his wlfo and little son to Norfolk ns soon as homo arrangements can be made in the city. His own ar rival in the city is permnnenl and he is now a clllzen of Norfolk. Of Iho members of Ihe rellrlng firm , W. H. Johnson Is living in Denver with his family. Future plans have not been announced by cither O. J. or Robert Johnson , who will remain with the store until the transfer occurs.

SMALL BRIDGE COLLAPSED NORTH OF VERDIGRE. FORTUNATELY IT WAS FREIGHT Water Undermined the West Approach of a Bridge nnd Four Cars Tumbled Through After the Engine and Five Cars Had Passed Over. The collapse of a Northwestern irldgo under a northbound freight two miles north of Verdlgro Saturday oven- ng threw several box cars Into n mash- ip and occasioned delay In the Hone- steel passenger service Sunday. No : > ne was Injured In the wreck nnd by C o'clock Sunday evening the line was ngnln open for traffic. It was 11 o'clock Saturday night when the west approach to bridge No. 101 gave way under extra freight No. 1275 then two miles out of Vordlgro. The engine and flvo cars had passed over the bridge before the collapse came taking down the four box cars following. The scene of the accident la a bridge of some forty feet over what la ordi narily a dry creek bul which Saturday night had been filled by the water from a heavy rain. The freight train was in charge of Conductor Evans and En gineer Dryden. The bridge will have to bo rebuilt. Passengers from Gregory and Bono- steel were transferred past the acci dent Sunday morning , arriving in Nor folk nt 9:45 : a. m. A wrecker sonl from Norfolk had Iho Irack ready for through traffic at the close of Sunday afternoon. The contents of the cars were reported uninjured. Coal and farm implements are said to have been In the train. It Is considered a most fortunate fact thai Iho extra frelghl Iraln went over the bridge when it did , as the next Iraln over Iho creek would have been Iho early morning passenger from Bonestcel and Iho collapse of Ihe bridge under Ihls Iraln would have meant a very much more serious nccl- denl in all probability.

A four-Inch scalp wound on the back of the head that cul down to the skull and a bruise across the chest were the injuries sus tained. No bones were broken and the man will recover. A rail had been bent down toward the creek when the bridge collapsed and the cars went through. A cai standing upon the rail held down in this bent posillon. When released Ihe rail sprang upward like a springboard In Us ascension Iho iron bar strucli Ebert a forceful blow. DR. FRANK OSBORNE IN LINE. Vacancy In Superlntendency at Feeble Minded Institute.
