Is the wish of HCLST Jk ADAMS to every one.
We take great pleasure in thanking our friends and
patrons for the liberal patronage they have extended
to us during the jat year, and it is with pleasure
that we can say (and have our statement verified,
if you will visit our store and see for yourselves),
that our trade has steadily increased month by
month. December was the largest business month
we ever had. We have tried hard to serve our
customers in the best way possible by giving them
the best goods and best service to be had, and at
prices that defy competition. The steady increase
in our business is verv gratifving. because it shows
that the people appreciate our efforts.

and courteous service, nothing but the best goods."
Wishing all a happy and prosperous New Year,
we remain,

Thursday morning Judge John Bat
terman succeeded T. D. Robison as
county judge, in the presence of a few
friends. Judge Robison welcomed his
successor, and Judge Ratterman ex
pressed his gratitude to political friends
and pledged his beet endeavors in the
discharge of hia official duties. No man
who enters upon a public office, where
the result of hia acta rerts upon his use
of s sound and discriminating judgment,
but may expect to meet with much criti
cism when he exercises that discretion
according to hia just ideal of duty. It
is fitting to nay that no one, so far as
Tax JocaxAL is aware, has questioned
Judge Bobison's integrity in the dis
charge of the duties of his office.- He
has been firm and unflinching in follow
ing the dictates of his best judgment,
and steps into private life again with the
high respect of those who have had
transactions with the office during Mr.
Bobison's term. Judge Ratterman's in
timate acquaintances predict for him an
honorable career in the conduct of the
office, and it is to be hoped that there
will be no lowering of the standards for
one of the most important offices in
Platte county.
Mr. Caurlai B.Hamfora.
It is gratifying to know that the pub
lic taste is once more inclined toward
Shakespeare. Never in the history of
the United States have the plays of the
Bard of Avon been as popular as now.
This popularity has brought into greater
prominence than ever the few remaining
stars of the classical drama who have
nobly stood by the Shakespearean ship
when the storms of farce comedy and
howling melodrama threatened its des
truction. Conspicuous among this faith
ful band is Charles RHanford. Perhaps
no other actor in America has scored as
many successes in the legitimate field
either individually or in conjunction
with other well known stars. In fact
Mr. Hanford may be said to be the link
connecting the Shakespearean eras of
the past and present in this country; for
in the past his name was deemed worthy
to be coupled with snch illustrious
sctors ss Edwin Booth, Lawrence Bar
rett and Thomas W. Keene, while several
of the leading artists of the present day
have ahared stellar honors with Mr. Han
ford. An honor which no living actor
except Mr. Hanford in this country
has enjoyed was his appearance with
Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett in
a role equally as important aa their own.
This waa his good fortune in the revival
of "Julius Cesar," when he played Marc
Antony with Booth aa Brutus and Bar
rett as the "lean and hungry" Caseins.
Wsa there ever n more brilliant triumvi
rate of stars than this! No jealousy ex
isted in that famous combination and
honors were evenly shared.
It was Mr. Hanford'a privilege also to
appear with Edwin Booth when that
eminent actor produced "The Taming of
the Shrew." Mr. Hanford was Mr.
Booth's understudy and on several occa
sions when the great tragedian was ill he
played Pstrachio to the entire satisfac
tion of the aadienoes. These experien
ces are of particular importance in view
of the present revival by Messrs. Delcber
and Breanan of "The Taming of the
Shrew," ia which Mr. Hanford will essay
the row of Pstrachio, thus fulfilling the
prophecy of Edwin Booth who predicted
for him a saining success in the char
acter. Mr. Hanford, in Mr. Booth's esti
mation, combined all the qualities neces
ssry for the many sided, personality of
Pstrachio. His impersonation of the
lover who tamed the shrewish Katherine
is by ao means a servile isutation of
Booth's. Instead, it combines many of
the hsst.aoiats of Booth's caaractsriza-;

Enthusiastic Meeting,
Pursuant to a call for a meeting of
citizens Friday evening last a number
interested in the future welfare of the
city met at the council chamber and
were called to order by President Bagatz
of the Commercial club, who stated
briefly the object of the meet;ng.
Fritz Jaeggi of Switzerland, who has
a large interest in the Nebraska Central
Irrigation company, and who has been
devoting a considerable portion of his
time lately to its affairs, then gave more
in detail the project now proposed which
is the perfecting of the canal, and to add
to its functions that of furnishing power
along its route where it can be sold to
advantage.
It is taken for granted, by what has
already been demonstrated, that the
irrigation part of the problem needs no
further consideration on general princi
ples, nothing bat that multitudes of
land owners shall follow the lead of
scores who have already shown what can
be done.
The part now especially interesting to
the cities along the line is to provide for
an unfailing power, so that manufactur
ing firms may be induced to locate their
plants near by.
In such projects the three main items
are, 1st, nearness to the raw material or
to the place where it can readily be
raised; 2d, constancy, quantity and rela
tive cost of power; 3d, nearness to mar
ket for the manufactured product.
Along these lines there are scores and
scores of enterprises that would seek a
foothold right here, and now there seems
nothing to obstruct the way to the com
plete realization of what Columbus
basinsss men and engineers have for
almost a half century believed in, and
on every fit occasion have advocated.
The speakers at the mseting, after Mr.
Jaeggi and H. E. Babcock, were J. E.
North, Editor Howard, B. S. Dickinson,
G. B. Speice, Henry Hockenberger, Dr.
Hansen, Gus Schroeder and M. Brogger.
Stock to the amount of $1250 was
subscribed at the meeting, and it is now
understood that the remainder of the
