William e. Egan.

William B. Egan, deputy county
auditor, holds one of the moStimportant
secondary positions in the county. His
youth does not detract from his capabil-
ity. OH the contrary being the youngest
man in SO important a position in the
county, he is also one Of the most
capable ana painstaking. These. to-
getber with an obliging disposition,
make him one of the most popular Off
Gals in the county. He is a son of the
well-known Patrick Egal, and vas born
in the Fifth ward of this city Oct. 2,
1871. His education was secured in the
cathedral school of this city. Being of
a studious turf of mind and having
a peculiar adaptability for clerical
work he was given a position in the
county auditors Office in July, 1889,
after leaving school. and has remained
there since that time. When the pres
ent county auditor took charge of the
Office last January he recognized the
fact that young Egan was a fit person to
be placed in charge Of the important
details and the management of the
office, and made him his deputy in
preference to a number of older clerks.
Mr.. Egan was then but little more than
of legal age, but he has managed the

Thomas II. Walker.

In building a great railroad there is
all immense quantity of lumber used.
and in the construction of the Great
Northern system Minneapolis has been
drawn upon heavily. A very large per
cent of this lumber has been furnished
by the firm of Camp q Walker. L. b.
Walker is the surviving member of this
firm. and, as president Of the Red River
Lumber company, with mills located at
Crookston and Grand Forks, has fur
nished James J. Hill with a consider
able portion of the lumber used east
of the mountains in the extern
sion, the completion Of which the
Northwest is now celebrating. TO tell
the citizens of Minneapolis who
Thomas b. Walker is would be like in
forming the voters of the Union who are
presidential candidates. This paper
will fall into the hands of people re-
mote from the Office of publication.

manager during their triumphant ca
reer. Tom is perhaps the only profess
siODal billiard player in the world who
met all corners when he was in the work
and never suffered a defeat. He won
the American championship, and then
retired upon his laurels. He was con-
Sldered one of the surest experts Of his
time. but this was prior to the advent of
such wonders as Jake Schaeffer, Slos-
son, and those that anne after. Then
Foley took to business pursuits. He
was content with the honors and glory
that he had cutout, aud opened a bill
lard hall in Chicago. 70 him belongs
the distinction of owning the largest
and best equipped billiard rooms that
have ever entered the competition
for the claim. Since his business en-
barkraent he has laid aside the stick,
and be can only be induced TO toy with
the worries for the diversion of some
warm personal friend who has a sort of
an inquisitiye desire to see whether the
''old man" has forgotten his cunning.
Should he resume practice he would
make things interesting for the st. Paul
boys who would happen to have the
temerity to give him a whirl.
Mr.. Foley has officlated as the mana
ger of the DAILY GLOBES sporting
events since he located In st. Paul, and
this includes the bowling as well as bill
lard tournaments that the GLOBE has
put into the field. Mr.. Foley has the
finest arranged billiard hall IN the city,
on Jackson street, between Fourth and
Fifth, and he Is always found there
during business hours.

since the chief Office was removed to
this city from st. Vincent, Oh Aug. l.,
1888. He had been appointed to the
position in 1855, during the time that
Dir. Guernon was collector, and while
the Office was at st. Vincent and the
district included Dakota territory. Mr..
Storey was born in Morrow county,
Ohio, in November, 1853. He was

Ohio Central college, located at Iberia.

James @. Haynes.

In looking over the field of railroad
and telegraph development n is apt
to lose sight of the local side of the
question. and forget that there are com
panies of this character whose work
lies chiefly in and about a great city.
Minneapolis has been well provided for
in this respect by the American District
Telegraph company. whose president,
James c. Haynes, is n of the leading
attorneys of that city.
By the %exigencies of politics Mr..
Haynes has become n Of the best
known citizens of Minneapolis. Two
years ago the Democrats of the Second
ward, attracted by his integrity and.
well known legal ability, selected him
as their candidate for alderman. and
elected him in spite of the fact that it
was Republican by an overwhelming
majority. Last fall, when there was no
possible hope of success, be consented
to make the race for mayor, and polled
an astonishingly large vote against the
most popular man In the Republican

work he became acquainted with the
vast pine forests of Minnesota and made
investments that laid the foundation
that finally made him a millionaire. He
has been most actively engaged in the
lumber business. but there is hardly an
enterprise of any magnitude that
has f%avorabIy affected Minneapolis
that he has not been energetic IN
promoting. 1t would be a shorter
list to mention those he has not
helped. 1t is not alone in business
that he has figured. but as a lover of
art ne has done much for this city. As
president of the library board he has
been instrumental in making the library
building the center of attraction for all
intellectual people in the city. There
is no man in the whole Northwest to
whom the term foremost citizen" can
be more aptly applied, and his estima-
Bile wife ranks his equal in the same
sense.

John S. erode, deputy county treas
urer, is an excellent man for that posi-

business and with people. He is very
attentive to the interests of the public,

the time comes TO choose a successor to

we'll remembers the base ball that was
given them during the years of 1886 to
1889. The st. Paul club was at all times

leases of such players as Billy Sowders,
John Sowders. Charley Reilly, James

j. E. Manning Is the genial proprietor
of the "Mascotte," the recognized sport
ing headquarters of the city. He is one
of the most Jealous devotees of all sorts
of manly sports in the West, and has
done as much as almost any n Of his
years to promote athletics. His place OF
business is at 1873 East Seventh street,
and he is a native of st. Paul. He was
born here t~wenty-three years ago, and
no other place can boast of his resi-
dence. AS a mere boy he became infat-
uated with boxing, and at the age OF
thirteen was considered a won
der. He improved with years
and experience until he had the
welterweight championship within hi
grasp, but he finally decided to quit the
arena to embark in business. But he
shows a brilliant career for five years.
His first business adventure was To-
conduct an excellently equipped gym
nasium, and it was in 1888 that he wor
the amateur championship of the North

the reward of a successful practitioner.
For the third time he is now serving a
term as the mayor of La Crosse, the
second city in the state of Wisconsin.
When it is explained that he holds no
fealty with either of the predominating
political parties of the nation, one can
have some conception of his personal
popularity. Like DR.. Cines in his hal
cyon days, DIR. Powell is pos
sesSed of great magnetic powers,
and he attracts TO himself the
unequivOcal friendship of the masses.
AS all army surgeon DR.. Powell won
great distinction, and as scout and trav-
eler he has had a fund of experiences
that would make a decidedly interest
ing book should he choose to place his
history in print. DIR. Powell is reputed
the champion pistol shot of the country,
and he rivals all the crack rifle sh OTIS
also. DR.. Powell, although a citizen of
La Crosse, is closely enough identified
with ST. Paul to make him familiar to
all the local readers Of the GLOBE. He
has an elegant suite of offices at the
corner of Cedar and Fourth streets,
opposite the GLOBE, and he spends
Mondays and Tuesdays there in attend

himself, and 1t must be confessed that
he has net with deserved success. He
chose the wholesale liquor business, and
his inherent qualities have made him
one of the most popular young men in
the business in the state. His store is
located at 446 Wabasha street, aud is
known throughout the state as an
establishment where the customer is GER
tain to receive good treatment. George
is an extensive traveller, and he cares
for his country customers personally,
and this accounts in a great degree for
the success that has been visited upon
the business. The best goods that can
be bought, the best terms that can be
given, conspire to MOhr's advancement
in the business world.

landed in New York in May of the sue
ceeding year, and located near Milwau-
kee, Wis. where Mr.. erode was brought
up and resided until he was twenty
six years old. His education was Sc
cured in Milwaukee. Early in life
he began ~railroading, and was pro-
noted until he became roadmaster of
the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul; he
resigned this position to go into the
mercantile business when twenty-six
years old. receiving a very strong letter
of recomlr% ldation, and complimentary
in character, from the general superln-
tendent of the road. He had several
times been in st. Paul prior to 1888, when
he came here and engaged in mercban-
dising. In the fall of that year he en-
tered the comfy treasurer'S office and
has continued IN the office ever SINGS as
deputy treasurer and in overlooking the
work of the force OF clerks. Mr.. erode
was once a candidate for representative
in the legislature, but being in a strong
Republican ward was defeated. He has
taken great interest in musical matters
and was for ten years musical director
of the Arion singing society of this city.
This society took the first prize from
ten competitors at a contest in 1879 at
Minneapolis under his direction. He

pursuit, and at the age of twenty-three
was admitted to the bar. Few men
have come to the front more rapidly
than he, and when a few months ago

John j. O,Connor

st. Paul is distinguished among the
cities of the Northwest not only for her
commercial breadth and financial solid
-ity, but by reason of the men who stand
at the head of her different lines of
business. To the citizens of st. Paul
there are few men better known or more
whose name stands at tire head Of this
sketch.
e Born and raised in this city, he has
achieved success absolutely on his mer-
its, IN a line of work the most difficult a
man can undertake.. Shrewd, alert, of
decisive character, gifted to plan and
act quickly, for many years the city of
st. Paul profited by the use OF his fine
ability as chief of detectives. Through
out the Union John O'Connor acquired
the reputation of being nOtouly a clever
detective, but a wise handler of the
floating criminal classes as well. He
had the city detective department so
admirably organized that travelling
thieves gave st. Paul a wide berth.
When the present administration as
sumed Office Mr.. O'Connor resigned his
office, which example was followed by
his s%ubordinates. William Pinkerton,
certainly a competent judge, has pro-
nounced Mr.. O'COnnor II of the very
best detectives in the United States.
This judgment is Endorsed by the pat
ronage given the detective agency 10
Gated at 1874 East Third street. st. Paul,
which he established after quitting the
service of the city.
Mr.. O'Connor is a big man physically,
active and capable of great endurance.
A genial gentleman in his business and
social relations, ne has hosts of friends
in all walks of life. Generosity is not
the least of his admirable traits. but his
acts in this line are as unOStentatiOuS as
the man himself. ''fiis word as good as
a bond" applies to the full extent of It's
meaning in reference to st. Paul's
premier detective.

The pine forests of Minnesota gave
the state a reputation long before wheat
and flour supplied a later luster and
fame. Among those who have been
foremost in building up the lumber in
terests of Minneapolis and the state is

was born in Kentucky in 1943, but at the
close of the civil war came to MinneaI o.
lis, where he followed all branches OF

Today he is at the head of the firm of
