JOHNSON DRY GOODS COMPANY
WILL RETIRE.
A. L. KILLIAN OF WAHOO BUYS
City Will Much Regret Loss of Long
Established and Successful Firm
Because of W. H. Johnson's Health.
Mr. Kllllnn Highly Spoken of.
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.
The Johnson Dry Goods company will
next month close its business career
In Norfolk after almost twenty yearn
of successful business experience In
the city , The Invoicing of stock which
Is to precede the actual transfer of
business to the new owner will atari
on July 5. 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.
New Proprietor Man of Energy.
A. L. Kllllan , who succeeds the
Johnson Dry Goods company , has been
n member of the firm of Killlan Broth
ers' company , who conduct a big do-
parlmenl sloro at Wahoo. The Nor
folk business will be conducled by
Mr. Killian under the name of Iho A.
L. Killlan company.
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.
During all the years of Iheir residence
here , Iho Johnson families have been
eaders In Iho clly and Ihls section
of the state , and they have won envi
able esteem from all who know them.
ONE THOUSAND MILES FOR $20.
Burlington Railroad In Nebraska to
Sell Mileage Books.
Announcement has been received In
Norfolk thai the Burlington railroad ,
beginning July 5 , will place on sale
1,000-mllo books , good In Nebraska ,
which may bo used by the bearer and
any number of persons , the price for
the book to bo $20 , or 2 cents a mile.
The Omaha Bee declares 'this is the
form of mileage book which the Job
bers of Nebraska have been working
for. The Bee said :
"It ( this book ) will bo of great con
venlenco to Nebraska traveling men ,
affording them a convenient method
of carrying their transportation.
When the Nebraska leglslaluro was
about to pass the 2-cenl passenger faro
bill Iho railroad officials held a mcel-
Ing in Omaha , attended by Iho loadIng -
Ing officials of all the Nebraska roads ,
nnd decided to put In effect a 2,000-
mlle book , which was sold for $50 , or
2 % cents a mile. With the passage
of the 2-cont bill Ihls book was of llt
tlo value , as all could buy tickets at
the various stations at 2 cents a mile.
This now ticket will bo convenient , as
It will do away with the necessity of
the traveling men having to await
their turn In line ut stations at train
iOi ( maided being otherwise n great
convenience to thoiio who have much
traveling to do. "

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.
HURLED INTO THE AIR.
Section Boss Was Injured at Scene of
Bridge Accident.
In working at the bridge north of
Verdlgro which collapsed Saturday
night and dropped four cars into the
creek , Jake Ebert , section boss , waa
badly Injured in a sensational fall yes
terday morning. Ho was struck by u
rail thai was bounding upward. The
force of Iho blow hurled Ebert ten
feet into the air and dropped him
Ihrough space for Iwenly-flvo feel ,
landing him in the creek bed fifteen
feet below the track. 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
