in Illinois, and while young man, set
tied in Minnesota. He enlisted in the
war of the Rebellion and served for four
years with ealantry and distinction, be-

accountant and has held several offices
of public trust and responsibility in his
former home For number OF years
he was county assessor in Minnesota,
and was clerk of Roscoe, Mimi. where
the duties are very similar to those of
county auditor in this state. Mr.. Druse
was also secretary of the Farmers Insur
ance Company, which transacted an i'm
mense business, and he resigned that
position in 1895 to move to Yakima
county with his family of twelve to take
up the occupation of farmer and fruit
grower. He brought the same upright

ing that he had pursued in the past, and
recognizing his sterling worth of char
acter and capability for the duties Of Of

elected, which he probably will be, the
citizens OF Yakima may rest assured that

servant. A vote cast for Mr.. Druse is
one cast in the interest Of economy and
the lowering Of taxation.
