merchants, in which they have been
heavy operators. Having been con-
nected with this business for over
thirty years, there is no man

this he is a stakeholder Of the Second
National bank, the st. Paul Ma
tlonal bank, the Germania bank,
and the st. Paul German Fire In
surance company. He Is also director
and treasurer of st. Michael's church.

or from the Sixth ward without opposi
ton, and was re-appointed to the posi-
ton two terms by Mayor Smith. He

ment to the position which it now holds,
one of the proudest in the whole cOun-
try. He served as president Of the board

then learned the trade of printer in
country newspaper Office in Iowa. He
came to st. Paul fourteen years ago and
worked year at setting type in the
GLOBE Office. He afterwards worked
three years in the composing room Of
the Pioneer Press, and short time on

mins.ra i)n of Gov. McGill. In 1886
he started the Labor Echo. and in
1889 bought the St. Paul Herald,
which he ran until he en-
tered his present Office. For two
years he was county printer, and fur
uished the county supplies of stationary
and blank books. 1t is said by county
officials that the blank books furnished
by him are the best the county ever got.
Last summer he was nominated as
county auditor, with no formidable OPP
position, and was elected after con-
test that was Waged against him with
especial earnestness and vlndictive
ness. Mr.. Burns was free to declare on
the stump that his policy would be to
show no favor to classes and to do his
duty to the masses irrespective Of favor
iteness. His course in the office since
the beginning of the year has been in
accordance with his declared purpose,
and he is regarded as fearless and
competent official.

Auditor j. H. Burns.

James H. Burns. the county auditor,
holds the most responsible position in
the gift of the county. He is an en-
ergetic parsonage and fearless Of
fetal. He is fast showing his competency
and is we'll under way with determine
tion to make a good record in the con-
duct of his Office. His success in life Is
due to his personal energy and perse-
verance, even in the face of difficulties
that would have overthrown many a
brave man. Born and reared as a
farmer boy and used to the rugged
struggle on the farm, he aspired to
other pursuits, and has fought his way
with remarkable sturdiness from hum
t'epoSition against peculiar onpositiop.

Thorn as d. O,Brien.

Thomas D. O'Brien is as we'll known
as any man in the city, and no one has
aught to say against him personally Oh
to detract from his capability as law
yer. He has served the county and the
city in the capacity of legal adviser with
professional skill and courtesy in way
to receive general commentator. Mr..
O'Brien is one Of the younger members
of the bar. He was born at La Porte,
Wis. Feb. IA, 1859. His education was
secured in the common schools of this
city, and he grew to manhood knowing
the needs and following the aims of
brothers at the bar, and the experience
of the elder brother in public Of
fee doubtless had something to do
with shaping the course of the

subject of this brief sketch. Wher-
ever he found the example and incen-
tive, subsequent events show that he
emulated the best. and has no regrets
as to his attachments. He read law in
the office of Young & Newell. and was
admitted to the bar April II. 1880. For
a time he was clerk of the municipal
court. He was assistant corporation at
torney under William Pitt Murray from
1886 to 1889. In the year 1890 he was
elected county attorney for two years,
and, after serving the county faithfully
for one term, declined reelection 1or

In every line the fame OF st. Paul in

ton achieved by her citizens is based
ON faithful execution of trusts confided
TO their care. Among the many firms

Paul postoffice. In 1883 he became a
solicitor for fire Insurance company
and began to be identified with several
building societies and became secretary
of several of them. He was elected to

twice reelected, each time with an in

sOhioan by birth, he is another example
of the good fruit put forth by the pro-
life soil of the Buckeye state. Since
lea wing school all of his time has been
de voted exclusively to work in the
branches of mechanics that have be-
come MS life work. That he has labored
to good purpose. no one can doubt who
knows the man. On his shoulders de-
wolves, to a large extent, the executive
work of the firms business. and no
small share Of its success is due to his
masterful management.
Separately, either of these men is
capable of planning and executing the
largest contract in their line of bust
ness; together they constitute team
that is destined to achieve splendid
reputation throughout the Northwest,
and that means substantial success for
themselves. The standing of William
Rodger & Co. in the business world is
an enviable one, because business prin-
clples govern the conduct of their at
affairs.
Mr.. Rodger has found time, outside
of his business cares, to take very
prominent part in the social and polit-
ical life OF the city and state. So far as
he has cared to go success has attended
him, and during the last session of the
legislature he was member of the
house from Ramsey county. His serv-
ices in the legislature were governed by
good sense and patriotism, and met with
the appreciation of his constituents.
Mr.. Rodger has also served as men,

Hon. o. o. Cullen.

Hon. Orlan o. Cullen is at present
serving the Fourth ward in the capacity
of alderman. He was born in Ohio. blu
his thirty-six years. residence in this
state makes him distinctively Mime
sotan. The period of his residence in
this city has only been broken by resi-
dence in Montana from 1867 to 1870. He
was engaged in operating saWmill in
Montana most of that time, but for
year was banker at Helena. His saw
mill was in Oregon Gulch, directly Op-
poslte French Bar, which is noted for
the valuable and curious stones dIscov-
cred there. Mr.. Cullen has gathered up
a fund of anecdote and incident that he
relates with rare interest to friends
when occasion offers. but he does not
parade the stories. He is SO we'll known
in this city that a sketch of him is
almost useless. He has been faithful
to the interests of the people
in several capacities as public
official. He served two terms in the
legislature. two terms on the school
board and five terms in the common
council. Two years ago he was presi-
dent of the common council, and i'll that
capacity and as acting mayor he made a
record, as he has in all his unremuner-
alive offices, that is envied. MI. Cullen
has often been urged to accept offices
in the county and city that have large
salaries attached, but has constantly
declined to become a candidate for
comptroller, treasurer or like officer.

business men of the county have the
utmost confidence in his integrity and
business capacity, and the working
people look to him for thousands OF
favors and accommodations. In 1874 he

two bows.

in the city clerks office from 1878 to
1887, when he took charge of his pres
ent office, to which he was elected the
fall before. In 1883 he was appointed
member of the common council to fill
the uneXpired term of his father, John
O'Connor, who died in that year. He
was elected 10 the same Office at the eX-
piration of the appointed term.

commended openly for principles and
right. He is constantly on the alert for
the interests of the city, and by his
careful investigations into affairs has
saved the city hundreds of thousands of
dollars, as in the case of the demand of

Perhaps no man can boast wider ex-
perience in his profession as a machin-
ist and mechanical engineer than Will
lam Rodger. the well-known senior
member. Learning his trade in Scot
land, country that never sent forth an
iuferier workman, he has perfected
himself by lifetime of experience and
study in Europe and America, until
today he stands at the very head of his
craft. Training has developed in him
an almost intuitive grasp of the neces
stiles and possibilities of piece of
work, and the plans and specifications
sent forth by the firm are models of
their kind.

Hon. Sam r. Van SAINT.

One of the best all-around members
of the last legislature was Capt. Sam r.
Van SAINT, of WinOna. In his own per-
son lie represents the typical American
from boyhood to mature manhood
youthful patriot, ambitious student,
successful business man, honored vet
eran, chosen representative of his peo-
pie.
Cap. Van SAINT was born in Rock
Island. ILL.,, and grew up III that vicin-
ity until seventeen years of age. The
civil war broke out then, and he en-
listed in Company A, Ninth Illinois
cavalry. He served three years, good
part of the time with Gen. Grierson, the
noted raider. After leaving the army
young Van SAINT took up his studies
again for two years. A partnership
was then formed with his father in the
boat building and repairing business at
LIE Claire, 10. The firm built some of
the first raft boats, and has been en-
gagged in the business of towing logs
and lumber for the past twenty years.
Last year they ran to market more logs
and lumber than any transportation
company on the Mississippi river.
Coming to Winona in 1888, Capt. Van
SAINT has since taken very active part
in the affairs of that city. He is men,
Der of the civic bodies of most import
ance and has served his ward as alder
man. He maintains the only reason he
did not serve as mayor was because the
other fellow beat him. Last fall he was
elected to the legislature in a district
that gave Cleveland good majority.
In the house he was the efficient chair
man of the committee on normal
schools, besides serving On several
other committees, and did good work
in every capacity He is an earnest
talker and made many a good speech
on the floor. At the last annual en-
campment of the Minnesota Depart
ment, G. A. R., he was chosen senior
