EMIL KUENZLI.

county and upon him devolves the col
lection of taxes to meet the current ex-
penses of county government. The
ability he displays in collecting these
taxes and the accuracy with which he
keeps his books, demonstrates his eff
cheney. An economical administration
is what the people most desire and this
object is best subserved by choosing
from the active ranks of the people.
Mr.. kuenzli, our present treasurer, is
one of those men who comprehend all
of the above requirements, and adds
the additional one of courtesy and an
accommodating disposition. making
himself most agreeable to all who have
business transactions with him. This
is Mr. Kuenzli's second term as coun-
ty treasurer; he was engaged in farm
ing previous to his election and if his
popularity as county official is any
criterion it will be many years before
he is permitted to 60 back to his farm.
GEO. L. EVANS.
The accurate keeping of the records
of deeds, mortgages and other indent-
ures of legal nature not within the
province of the courts, is the princi pal
duty imposed upon the incumbent of
the Registers office. The subject of
this notice is one of the most Compel
ent of our county officials and adds to
his clerical efficiency the qualities that
render him popular with his constitu-
ents and all who have business or So
cial relations with him. Mr.. Evans is
a native of Wisconsin, came to Mime
sofa in 1873. He was elected in 81,
and the fact he has served in his pres
ent capacity for | years speaks in I'M
mistakable language of the high re-
gard in which he is held as a Compel
ent and worthy citizen. No man could
enjoy higher degree of confidence
more justly earned.
j. l.. BYRAM.
The office of the clerk of the dis
trict court is an excellent stepping
stone to professional life. The du-
ties are exacting and the proper con-
duet of the office is good law school
ing. Mr.. j. L. Byram is demonstrate
ing himself to be careful and pains
taking official who reflects credit upon
the Republican party which elected
him and is winning the favor of the
court and bar by courteous attention
and competency in the discharge of
his clerical obligations. He is one of
Ohios productions and possesses the
energy and force to make success of
life. He was elected in 1888 and pre-
vious to his election followed the oc-
cupation of teaching schools for sew
eral years and after that of con-
tractor and builder. His popularity is
due to his splendid qualities as bus
mess man, citizen and official and his
devotion to the best interests of the
whole country. There is no official
more efficient, more accommodating
and none command a greater degree
of confidence than j. L. Byram.
S. j. RACE.
Upon the ability with which our
school system is managed depends
the permaneDcy of our institutions,the
perpetuity of popular government and
preservation of our social and political
anatomy. The present county super
intendent, S. j. Race, is one who is
striving to accomplish the most good
for the general welfare by placing the
public schools on the most approved
basis contemplated by our modern
methods of instruction and manage
ment. In this laudable enterprise he
should receive the hearty encourage
ment of all progressive teachers and
patrons. He followed the occupation
of teaching for several years previous
to coming to Redwood Falls and has
fairly earned by diligent and indefati-
gable work the laurels of his position.
He is now striving to bring the schools
to a system that will facilitate gradua-
ton and make it possible for the coun-
ty schools to educate as effectively as
is done by the city system.

The office of sheriff requires uualifi-
cations of fidelity to the ministerial
duties imposed by the court and the
fearless disposition to execute those
orders. The incumbent must also
possess sufficient ability to discharge
the clerical part of the work. Mr.. c.

these qualifications and the additional
one of merited popularity. He has
conducted his office with fidelity to
the interests involved, with satisfaction
to his constituency and honor to him
self and the Republican party that
elected him. He is now serving his
third term as sheriff of the county
and has demonstrated his ability to
conduct the Office in the most approved
manner. He is prominent and hon
ored gentleman and citizen.
H. D. BALDWIN.
One OF the most widely and favor
ably known members of the Redwood
county bar is he whose name forms
the caption of this article. No doubt
an extended biography of him would
be OF interest to the many readers of
our large edition, but this, of course.
is not compatible with the scope of our
space. Judge Baldwin, as he is best
known, is one of the oldest and most
experienced practitioners in this Sec
ton of the state. He is a gentleman
of sound ideas, inAexible principles,
and one of our most influential citizens.
His reputation as a criminal lawyer is
as wide as the state in which he lives,
and he has the happy faculty of making
jury think as he thinks. Mr.. Bald,
win is native of the Empire State
came 70 Minnesota in 1853 and settled
in Waseca county, where he was ad-
mitted to the bar. He moved to Red
wood Falls in 1871 and at once entered
upon the practice that he has since
conducted with such uniform success.
He was appointed by the governor of
the state to succeed Judge Cox on the
district bench; was probate Judge for
several years and is now the municip-
al Judge of the CITY. Mr.. Baldwin
