Judge Robison welcomed his successor, and Judge Ratterman expressed 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 sound and discriminating judgment, but may expect to meet with much criticism 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 discharge of the duties of his He has been firm and unflinching in following 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 public 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 destruction. Conspicuous among this faithful 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 Barrett and Thomas W. Keene, while several of the leading artists of the present day have ahared stellar honors with Mr. Hanford.

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 Barrett as the "lean and hungry" Caseins. Wsa there ever more brilliant triumvirate of stars than this! No jealousy existed 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 occasions when the great tragedian was ill he played Pstrachio to the entire satisfaction of the aadienoes. These experiences 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 character. Mr. Hanford, in Mr. Booth's estimation, 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-; henry mm New Store, Opened for business, WEDNESDAY.

C. tion with much originality of conception. Not a few critics have asserted that Mr. Hanford'a portrayal of Petrnchio in the "Taming of the Shrew" is decidedly the best work he has performed during his long career. 3 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 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 principles, 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 manufacturing 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 relative cost of power; 3d, nearness to market 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 complete 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.
