New Officers for Minnesota.
st. Paul, Jan. 9.-There was un-
wonted activity about the state CAPT.
tol this morning. The outgoing Of
6cials were at work asserting papers
and winding up their business, pre-
paratory to turning over their keys to
the new officials, who reported for
duty early in the day. There was lit
tie for them to do, except to take the
oath of office, where it had not already
been done, and take charge of the
vacated Offices One Of the first on
hand was Albert Berg, the incoming
secretary of state, who was accom-
panied by Assistant P. D. Wildt, and
the other members of his official fam
lily. Berg took the oath of Office be-
fore A. H. Bertram, the assistant
dairy and food commissioner, and on
reporting at his Office was Immediate
lyIput in possession by Secretary
Brown, who has not entertained the
most friendly feeling toward the in
coming secretary, on account of the
3latter's failure to give his son minor
position. He lost no time in leaving
the Office. A few minutes after Sec
rotary Brown had surrendered his of
fee, he was asked to come into the
state treasurers office and assist in
the transfer Of the books and cash to
Treasurer Koerner, but Mr.. Brown
would have nothing to do with the
stSansfer, insisting that he was no
longer secretary of state. j. G. Lom-
men, chief clerk, was the only Official
who remained to assist Secretary Berg
In his administration.
1t was not until nearly noon that
Treasurer Bobleter turned over his
books and cash drawers to the incOm-
ing treasurer, A. T. Koerner. The
auditing committee attested the trans
fer and the bonds and securities. Col.
Bobleter turned over to the incoming
treasurer $1,33O,S7S.17 in cash, de-
posted in seventy banks throughout
the state, and $4S52,5S2.25 Of perma-
nent school fund bonds and 5000
permanent university fund bonds. AS
soon as the transfer had been made
Deputy Sam Iverson left to assist
State Auditor Dunn in taking possess
sion of that office, as assistant auditor.
D. e. Reese, clerk Of the supreme
court entered upon his duties early in
the forenoon, but without the assist
ance of Clerk Holcomb, who was alb
sent, rs usual Mr.. Reese will make
no changes. Gov Nelson has not vet
made any changes in lis official fami-
ly. and it is understood none will be
made.
Upham InnuSurated.
Madison, Wis, Jan. 9.-Gov. w. III.
Upham and other newly elected state
officials were inaugurated with simple
but impressive ceremony in the pres
ence of the largest crowd which ever
attended such an event here. A spe-
cial train brought Mayor Koch and a
delegation of thirty city officials from
Milwaukee. The state officials and la
dies arrived on another special and
were met by a committee and escorted
to the capitol, where the oath was adj
ministered by Chief Justice Orion, Of
the Wisconsin supreme court, each of
ficer being presented by his predeces-
eor. After the ceremony an informal
reception was held by Gov. Upham in
the executive Office. A grand rec ,p-
ton and ball closed the exercises.
The governors guard and First reg
iment band escorted the gubernatorial
party from the depot to the capitol.
