HON. AUGUST /. koERNER,
CANDIDATE FOR STATE TREAS
JJRER.

Hon. August T. Koerner, treasurer of
Minnesota and candidate for the same
office, was born July 7, 1913, in Ger
many. When fourteen years Of age he
came to the United States, residing for
a time in Missouri. In 1860 he removed
to Indiana for the purpose. of engaging
in the milling business, but had hardly
commenced his career when the War Of
the Rebellion broke out Imbued with
that spirit that the government could
not be wrong, a spirit which brought
so many Of our German-Americans into
the Union army, Mr.. Koerner, forsak-
ing his work, enlisted. in the, Sixth Indi-
ana Volunteer regiment. Later he re-
enlisted in the TWenty-sixth Indiana
Volunteer regiment, serving in all for
four years and three months under the
starry flag. He participated in all in
seventeen battles, including that Of
Vicksburg, and at the battle Of Prairie
Grove he was wounded in the left arm
by rifle ball. =;
At the close of the war Mr.. Koerner
went to Troy, Ill, and in 1867 located
permanently in : MINI sota,-~ having
made a trip to this state two years
previously. He made his home in
Meeker county, where he took a farm.
After losing several crops he gave up
farming and engaged in clerical work.
In 1877 he was elected register of deeds
Of Meeker county, occupying the posi-.
ton for three consecutive terms, being
reelected each time with increasing
majorides. In 1890 he was appointed
postmaster at Litchfield, but resigned
eighteen months later to accept a seat,
in the legislature, to which he had been
elected by a large vote in one Of the:
most bitter political contests Of his
county. = :.
For many years Mr.. Koerner was q
member of the Republican state central
committee, and only resigned to accept
a nomination for the position of state
treasurer in 1894, to which he was
elected by one Of the largest votes ever
given to state official. His election
to the same place for a second term
spoke volumes for the manner in which
he had conducted his office. To say the
least, a denomination for a third term
is a most high tribute to the sterling
qualities Of the man thus honored. Mr..
Koerner has not disappointed the peo-
pie Of the state, and his term has been
marked by an alertness for the security
Of public funds never surpassed.
Though a number Of banks suspended,
with large deposits of state money in
their possession, every dollar has been
practically recovered and the treasury
of the state has not been a loser, a rec
ord Of which any man may be proud.
Mr. Koerner will go into his third term
with his usually large vote, for the peo-
pie are not unmindful of services faith
fully performed.

the opposition. He is a member Of
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs, and had no little part in shaping
the policy Of the nation in the recent
foreign complications.

HON. ALBERT BERG,
CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY OF
: STATE.

: STATE.
Albert Berg is another example of the
American boy, who, unaided save by
his own determination, makes his way
to the front and wins the esteem and
confidence of the people. Twice has he
been returned to the high position Of
secretary of state, and again has he
been placed in nomination for the
same office by the Republicans Of the
state: An American boy because born
on American soil, he is the son of
sturdy Swedish parents. He is also a
native of our own State of Minnesota,
having been born at Centre City in Chi
sage county, June 25, 1861. His father
was Mr.. Jonas Berg, whose patriotism
was shown by his enlistment in the
Union army during the War Of the Re-
bellion, in which service he gave his
life. In honor of his worthy sire and
his service in the Third Minnesota vol
unteer infantry, Albert Berg has been
given the exclusive distinction of hon
orary membership in the regimental as
ISOLATION existing since the war.
After attending the common schools
of his county, Albert Berg went to
ing two years, thence going to Gustav
us Adolphus college at st. Peter for
three years. During the next four
years he was employed. by Major Ed
wards on the Fargo Argus, doing POI
litical work in the Northwestern States.
In 1856 he was elected register of
deeds for Chisago county, and was re-
elected in 1883, serving for four years.
An expert in official work, and possess
ing a remarkably retentive memory,
he could give without reference to the
records an abstract of nearly all the
land titles in his county. This expe-
rtence ripened him for the duties of
secretary of state, which he has so ably
performed. ...-
In 1882 he was a delegate from this
state to the national Republican con-
vention, and the same year he was a
formidable candidate for the position
which came to him two years later.
The best work Of Mr.. Berg during his
present term Of office was the state
census Of June 1, 1895. With an ap-
preparation far too limited he sue
ceeded in giving the state the best,
most complete and comprehensive cen
sus yet produced, and which has at
tracted favorable comment at home and
abroad" MI. Berg is a member Of the
Lutheran church, belongs to the frater--
nifty Of sMasons, Elks, knights of Py-
thias, and other societies. He is per-
5sonaIy "a most affable gentleman, one
who delights to meet his constituents
in an oDeI name and who, without
allowing the duties Of his office to be
neglected S has shown his personal
quaHties by the host of friends he has,
made during his residence in the. capt
tai city. AS a vote winner it may be
mentioned that in the election of 1894
he received 4,758 more votes than Mel
son for governor, and ran ahead of the
highest vote for any state officer by
1,721, willie his majority was 1,72O
more than that of any other state
officer. In the election of 1896 Mr.. Berg
defeated the Democratic opulist fus-
ion candidate by lead Of As, 1852 votes,
and his plurality was 3S,445.

HON. ROBERT C. DUNN,
FOR STATE AUDITOR.

Hon. R. G. Dunn has been in public
office in his town, his county, his legis-
lative district, and in this state for
period of twenty years, and in his re-
nomination for return to the office Of
state auditor he rests solely upon his
official record as a servant Of the peo-
pie, and well may he do so.

AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE.

During the past few years the lead
ing American life insurance companies
have gained such q hold in this country
as TO seriously threaten the prosperity
of the old-line English assurance cor
porations. Soliciting agents were I'M
known in England up to recently, and
the London companies are but begin
ming to meet the brisk competition be-
ing given them by the stirring repre-
sentatives of the foreign agencies,
which have large Office quarters in the
best frontage on Trafalgar square and
other choice locations. The average
Englishman is gradually coming to for
give the insinuating American life in
surance agent for the impertinence of
talking to him III his office about a poll
icy on his life, and the enterprise and
liberality of the progressive New York
companies is gaining new premium
payers every day.
Sir Thomas Upton is the most sue
cessful English business man of the
day, and he says his great fortune is
due to his American methods, having
received his early training in the
slaughter-houses of Chicago and Oma-
ha. 1t is encouraging to note that
many of the young men in this country
are following his example in learning
how to do business along the most pro
gressiye lines of the surprising advance
being made everywhere by the new
world.

PROFESSIONAL MEN.

1t is estimated that LOCO Americans
are in business in London, and among
these successful professional men are
steadily increasing dentists being in
the lead, numbering about 90. Of
these, DR.. J. J. Wedgwood and DR.. Dav-
export are the leading practitioners,
the former having a fine clientele
among the English aristocracy, and DR..
Davenport is one of three brothers
practicing in Paris and elsewhere in
Europe. The late DR.. Evans, the Phil
adelphia dentist, who piled UP a for
tune of S3S,000,O00 in Paris, was often
the guest of the Prince of Wales at
Mowbray house when in London. There
are a dozen American attorneys here,
the most successful being r. Newton
Crane, Esq, formerly of the firm Of
Pattison & Crane, railroad attorneys,
of st. Louis, Mo. Mr.. Crane is a. rising
barrister in the Middle Temple, and
wears the wig and robes of his office
with all the calm dignity of a genuine
Englishman. There are two American
physicians having a fair practice. The
advent of American practitioners has
aroused considerable professional jeal-
ousy on the part of English medical
and dental men, who have frequently
employed detectives in hopes of discov-
eirng some violation of the unfair Eng
lish laws by their dangerously success

ANTHRACITE COAL.

Even American coal is looking to
England, the land of carbon, for a new
outlet Henry S. Fleming of New York,
secretary of the anthracite coal COM
bination of Pennsylvania, is in Eng
land looking over the field with a view
to putting on a line of coal-carrying
steamers between America and this
country. So frequent have been the
strikes of English coal operatives, and
so great the inconvenience from this
and other causes, that it is thought
there is g. good opening for <0reign coal.
Anthracite is unknown here, but those
familiar with the English trade say it
will rapidly. grow in popularity when
once introduced.
The English people are habitually
prejudiced against foreign goods, until
they have proved them, when they
take the best, whatever it's source, and
American productions are especially
welcomed. A present trouble with
American foods is that such shippers
as the California fruit dealers usually
send the second grade of canned goods
to the foreign market, and the general
trade is severely injured. There is a
large opening for green fruits, as Cali
fornia oranges sell for 8 pence, and
other fruits are high in proportion

ments of husbandry as they cost more
than the clumsy domestic articles, and
the lower price is what wins with the
average agriculturist. A perceptible
improvement is showing in English
farming machinery, and many Of the
American implements are being copied,
although imperfectly. An American
steel planning mill manufacturer found
20 models OF his machine made in Der
lin, but the large concern which had
stolen the design told him that they
would buy direct in the future, because
they could not match either the price
or quality of the originals.

AMERICAN CATTLE.

So many American cattle come to the
islands that they must be Disseminated
against by law for the protection of the
English stockraisers. It is provided
that they shall be slaughtered at the
port of entry within 10 days from ar
rival American cattle thus have not
sufficient time to recover from their
long sea trip and the rundown condi-
ton engendered by confinement on ship.
Yet the number of beeVeS arriving is
steadily increasing, in spite of these
handicaps. Detford, near London, Liv-
erpool and Glasgow are the points of
cattle entry, where rigid government
inspectors are stationed. George Gould
of New York contemplates putting
new line cf cattle ships between New
Orleans and Southampton, delivering
southern and western cattle into the
English markets by a practically all
water route, to lessen the present ship
ping expenses. Large weekly consigng-
ments of refrigerated, smoked, Galted
and timed meats are made to England
by the Armour and Swift packing COM
panies of Chicago and so cheaply are
the shipments made that they under
sell homegrown meats. Many butch
ers substitute at a large profit Amer
lean for English meats with their GUS
toners, who rarely know the difference.
The cheaper grade of American side
meat costs but pence pound, while
Irish and other choice homegrown ba-
cons command a shilling. Many hog
raiserS in the northern provinces sell
their fatted stock for cash and then buy
the cheaper American pork for their
own Use.

bids than the English could reach; but
a compromise was finally agreed upon,
by which the contracts are now so di-
vided that English companies will get
about half the work Were it not that
English firms are constantly favored,
America would eventually drive out a
great deal Of the home business. The
conservative old underground compan-
les are beginning to realize that they
must equip their lines with electricity
or lose their trade, and so they have
appropriated 100000 for a system of
experiments with both English and
American equipments. So far the Lon
don county council has not consented
to surface trolley lines, even in the
suburbs, but permission has finally
