feeding rqualities that with it no other

L. L. Searles recently made a trip
into Utah, Colorado and Idaho, and was
very much pleased with certain of the
business phases of that country all
lines .being lively. At one place, St
Anthony, Idaho, business of all kinds
was continuous through the twenty-four
hours of the day, mining, dry-goods,
every line. Money is plentiful, and the
country booming. With irrigation,
farming is a success in tho valleys, one
of the great products being three crops
of alfalfa a year.
Last week Mrs. John Tannahill sold
the 33 aores comprising the Tsnnahill
place east of thk city to Albert Stenger,
who owns the farm adjoining on the
east the consideration being S2.600.
Readers of Thk Joubnai, will recall the
circumstances of some months ago when
Mr. Tannahill left the city. Mrs. Tan
nahill, we understand, has settled, on a
basis of 60 per cent, all the claims pre
sented against Mr. Tannahill; and has
left for herself some $300. She and her
daughter Eloise go this Tuesday to Ce
dar Rapids, Iowa, with her brother,
John Wise, who has been here, the past
week.
It seems that Platte county finances
are in good shape notwithstanding the
fact that treasurer Becher has settled
with the state, paying as Platte county's
contribution to the State treasury for
the year ended Jan. 2, 1901, the snug
sum of $41,113.26, thirteen thousand of
this going to the State General fund,
and fourteen thousand as principle of
school lands sold. No warrants were
registered last year; all were paid when
presented. No 1900 tax was "collected,
except a few dollars after October. On
the first of July next the Cofumbu9 pre
oinct railroad bonds $25,000 will be paid,
the amount of $18,276.17 being now on
hands for that purpose, thk amount
having been raised, we believe, in the
last three years.
Col. Julius N. Kilian of thk city,
commanding the First regiment Ne
braska national guard, was appointed
one day last week by Governor Dietrich
as adjutant general of the Nebraska
national guard. Tho governor having
announced that the applications should
be confined to a member of the First
Nebraska regiment thst served in the
Philippines, the contest has been quite
spirited between Capt P. James Cos
grave of Lincoln, Capt A. H. Hollings
worth of Beatrice and Capt George H.
Holdeman of York, Col. Kilian succeed
ing in shaking the plum from the tree.
Col. 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. He k a man who has
given much of his time and labor forJ
several years to military affairs and we
miss our guess if he don't bring the Ne
braska guards up to a higher state of
efficiency thandbey ever before attained.
We salute you, Adjutant General Kilian,
and hope for you a pleasant and success
ful term 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.
