St. Paul daily globe., 1886-12-25

only good looking man on the ticket, but
thai must be left to a glance at the group.
He is a modest man and dislikeS TO see his
name in print the reason being that he
fears it is species of advertising opposed
to the ethics of his profession. Personally
he is cordial and clever gentleman; pro-
feaslonally he can size up a cadaver i'll adj
mlrable style. This Office of coroner is a
better office than is generally supposed and
| is worth over $4,000 year. The coroner
serves papers on the sheriff and alone en-
| joys that dist notion.
Prof. William j. Warren was a sort of
non political candidate for county superin-
tendent of schools on the Democr attic ticket
and received nearly three-ffths of the EN-
tire vote cast. His election was practical
expression of the wish of the people to keep
the schools out of politics. Hell only "a
years of age, but is a teacher naturally and
an educator by instinct. and drew 10 his
support all of the better elements of both
parties. He has been in Minneapolis for
years and has held important educational
trusts elsewhere in the state. having been
! principal of the high school at Owatonna.
| Personally he is clever, pleasant gentle
man, with an abundance of friends every
where and no enemies to fear. He will
make splendid officer and will YIndicate
! the sense of 50 large a proportion of the
cOunty's voters.
| P. NJ. Dahl, the old and the new county
| surveyor. was born in Norway and was ed
ncated for a soldier He graduated from a
military academy as a sergeant. but the
| outlook, from his eighteen years of eXper-
! ience to become a general was not 1atter-
| ing. so he resigned and went TO pOlytech-
mic school to become civil engineer. BY
| this evidence of great head he has reached
| Minneapolis and has good business and
good Office. He has been in Minneapolis
| only six years. but as he is now entering on
| his second term as surveyor. it will be seen
he has employed his time well.
| Fred Won Schlegeil, the next judge of
probate. is German by birth, and to say so
| is betraying no confidence after glance at
! his name. He has fierce. Castle on the
Rhine name but is himself as mild hammered
man as ever took an attorneys fee and
| called it square. He is none the worse
lawyer from the fact that he has very little
| to say when not addressing jury, which
| ne does not do very frequently. Considera-
| bic practice before the probate court has
made him quite familiar with the duties
| for which the salary is paid, and it is eX-
| pected by those who placed him there that
! he will fill the office gravely, soberly and
| satisfactorily.
And last of all comes the court commits
sioner. Not much of an office. it is true,
as long as the judge of probate retains his
health. and the salary would not more than
pay Ace P. AbelPS cigar bills. provided he
! smoked. OF the ten-the handsome ten
here grouped together, he is the only one
who can be called an Ohio boy. Most Of
fceholderS from that state go East, but Mr..
Abel came West in 1878. His father,
Mai. James S. Abell. of Ashtabula, o.,
| had given him good education in Warren
high school and Hiram college, and at the
age of IS years he applied his learning to
| farming in Marshall county. 1t would not
work, and in 1881 he returned TO Mime
| apOliS and became grocer. The next year
| he went into the law in Secombe g. Suther-
lands Office and after three years was ad-
mitted to the bar little over year ago.
He is only 26 years old and gets all office IN
good time
These are the new county officers. Their
Individual careers are not as thrilling read
ing as yell0w-co literature, but
knowledge Of them is necessary to cur
eat political education. 1t might be OF
interest to take up the retiring officers and
dispose of them. which can be briefly done.
Sheriff Bracket and Registrar Huhn will
rest and count their money. Treasurer
Walsh will 90 back to milling, in his mind,
and Judge Ueland will return to the prac-
tice OF law. Prof. Wraaman will probably
resume his ferule at Augsburg seminary.
Auditor McDOnald-well, it is doubtful
what he will do. while it is supposed Court
Commissioner JamsOn will go into vOlun-
tary bankruptcy at losing SO valuable
position.
