Edwin 8. Reishus, State Grain Inspector

Edwin 8. Reishus, State Grain Inspector.
Inspector Clausen's successor, Edwin
S. Reishus, is of Norwegian parentage,
though American born, having been born
in Dane County, Wisconsin,, March 4,
1852. When ? years of age his parents re-
moved to Fillmore county, this state,
where his boyhood was spent. He was
educated in the public schools and the
state university, which he left in 1872
Three years later he married and settled
in Lyon county, where he has since re-
sided, and become a prosperous farmer
and successful business man. His
family are wife and two children.
For years prominently connected with
public affairs he has been q
leader of his section of the state upon
those economic questions which have 70
ceived most attention. He held the office
Of county clerk of Lyons county for four
years, and subsequently served two years
in the state senate, session of 1857, rep
eesenting the Peoples Party. All who
know him commend him as an able, &C.
dive, honest man, and he comes to the DO
sition with the confidence of all such that
he will give the grain raisers, as we'll as
the market men, a satisfactory, because
An able and an honest, administration.
The general Republican theory that
no one but A. G. Clausen could conduct
the state grain department, has re-

''Oh," admitted John, II suppose the

"Ven den, John," said the proprietor,

And the business went on.
The consolation drawn in so copious
drafts from Governor Lind's over-gen-
erous compliment 60 the liability of
Inspector Clausen should not be marred,
perhaps, by the reflection that it is the
trait of noble man to be generous to a
fallen foe. Everyone comedies Inspector
Clausen's ability, but the difference be-
tween possessing the ability to do and
the actual doing of duty is as wide as
the boundless sea. The lack of conf
dence which Governor Lind expressed
is but that felt by the whole state.
Clausen's administration was con-
demned. Governor Lind redeems his
pledge to change it, and he awaits the
outcome with perfect confidence as he
believes the people nay also do.
The vigor with which Game and
Fish Executive Beutner is administer
ing his department is shown in the fact
that he has turned loose a force of
nearly 100 extra deputies to patrol the
state during the pr. 'ent month to pro-
