Kilian went from thk city as captain of Co. K, the men composing which gain ed the enviable reputation of being as well drilled as any doing service in the Philippine islands, the regulars not ex cepted. We believe Governor Dietrich has made a good appointment and that he will so find at the end of Gen. Kilian'a time of service.

List week Henry Ragatz k Co. dis posed of their stock of groceries, eta, and all their fixtures in their large store on Eleventh street ako the lease of the establishment to March, 1902, to Hukt & Adams, late of Monroe, thk county. Mr. Ragats talk Thx Jomw ai. that he has not yet formulated plans except for the near future. He will open an office in thk city, and look after collections, of which, being in business so long, he has quite a number to make. Within the next year he may possibly build a busi ness house somewhere in the city be expects to do business in Columbus. In April, 1879, he opened ap business in thk oity with a stock of $500 to $600, at whioh time there were sixteen stores selling groceries, theirs being the small est concern in the town. Now, their annual sales have reached not only into the tens of thousands, but into scores of thousands, and the establishment k cer tainly one of the most extensive, if not the most extensive, retail grocery in the state of Nebraska. During these more than twenty years, except for sn intermission of a few months in 1885-'6, Mr. Ragatz has held close to business, which has with them been a steady, solid growth, and requir ing, the last few years, the employment of eight to twelve people, as clerks. Although a native of the United States, Mr. Ragatz has had a longing to take a trip in Europe, which he may gratify before getting into business again. . When we suggested that there were all sorts of rumora as to the kind of bus iness he would engage in, he said that he had hot yet decided. ' Hk business life has certainly been one of uniform success in every way, and thk community wish him well in any line in which he may engage. Am Old eif kber i Trieate to Join Twenty-four years ago.we settled upon the farm on the bluffs just north of Mr. Browner's home. We were not only strangers to the people in all that region, but quite strange to the climate, the soil and all farm methods of the then new west. It was one of those times with us that occasionally comes to most people - during their lives. A time when real neighbors and real friends count for much. Both Mr. and Mrs. Browner proved to be friends of that sort to us in our new experiences, and to tne time of the death of Mrs. Browner and to that of onr leav ing Nebraska, they remained such neigh bors and friends as one finds pleasure in remembering, and sincere regret and real loss on their departure from thk life. Having known Mr. Browner so inti mately through many years, I want to add my testimony to hk many excellent qualities. While possibly lacking some what in the extreme polkh of modern, so-called "good society,'' he had to a marked degree the characteristics of a real gentleman. He was not only a man of sterling integrity, a good neighbor, well up in hk business of pioneer farm ing of those early dsys of Platte county, but a man of much wider intelligence, and kept better in touch with the world's affairs than many supposed. He was a reader of books as well as the news of the day. He was able to appreciate the great developments in the various de partments of life goinf on during the wonderful century, nearly across which hk life extended. I had the pleasure of loaning him books from oar library from time to time, and enjoyed hk terse com ments, many a half hour as he returned them. Hk memory was bright hk ex perience varied and interesting. Recol lections of such men naturally abide with us and add a pleasure as we grow old. J. H. Reed. Riverside, California. ESTRAY NOTICE.
