many old friends who knew him to

mon worth, and who have followed
his career with satisfaction and in
terest. 1t was the intention of

permitted to die in his old home 10

could be commenced Death entered
upon the scene, and nothing but the
remains were suffered to come half

County Board to Meet.

The comfy board is to meet next
MONDAY, the purpose Of the meeting
being mainly to settle the question
a$ TO who is supervisor Of assess
ments, and to settle all dispute ia
connection with the position. The
BOARD will undoubtedly elect a new
supervisor as the shortest way Of
dlSpoSing OF the question. Last fall
the board accepted the proposition
OF Charles Noyes to do the work Of
supervisor of assessors at fifty
cents day. Mr.. Noyes was a mem
Der OF the board at the time. and
the appointment was brought into
question, as there are plenty of de-
clslons relating to the case. George
+. Morgan. who has held the office
Tor number OF years, continued to
act as supervisor, and the board will
determine what is best to be done at
the meeting next week. There has
been continuous and persistent
opposition to paying the supervisor
decent salary, ever since the posi-
ton was first created, and this was
the one principal consideration that
resulted in the election of Mr.. Moves.
The general supposition has become
that the office is one that should be
properly filled, and the legislature
at Madison took this view of it a
week ago, when bill to repeal the
act creating county supervision,
was killed. And it cannot be filled
in any useful manner unless til g
supervisor is paid enough so that he
can give proper attention and sufi-
Gent time to his work. Mr.. Morgan
has been very conscientious officer
and has undoubtedly fully earned
every cent the county has ever paid
him La addition to this he has the
undoubted qualifications for the
position. and the county board
should stop playing horse with the
matter and fully substantiate the
standing of Mr.. Morgan, or his
successor and get the best results
obtainable from the Office. Every
year Mr.. Morgan has been in the
office he has more than saved the
cost OF the Office to the taxpayers,
and with the increased powers shat
the legislature will give to the su-
pervisor, will be a0le to do still bet
ter work for the people, should he
be continued in office.

The Norwegians of Wise onsin.

Inc NOP W0SldUS OF W1SC OmSIn.
| All extract from an article in the Minneapolis
| Tidende of April It'll, 1905.
Wisconsin, is one of all the states
WHICH, historically. is of the greatest
interest to the Norwegians. la that
stale the foundation was laid for the
different church societies and those
institutions that now stand as mon
| uments to Norwegian enterprise and
the self-sacrifice and untiring efforts
of the Observation-Disclosures pio-
neers.
Norwegian American history has
it's inception in the south ern part of
Wisconsin. AS the curtain is drawn
on the pioneer life of southern Wis
consin, the first act Of similar
drama is being enacted in northern
Wisconsin. Far better conditions,
however, present pioneers of north
ern Wisconsin.
Before speaking OF the situation
in northern Wisconsin, we cannot
refrain from recalling some Of the
events connected with TIE history
of the Norwegians in Wisconsin.
The history began when Ole
Knudson Nattestad, from Rollang,
in Numedal, Norway. settled on
Jefferson Prairie, near Clinton. Rock
county, on the first day of July, 1888.
The following year Austen Nattesuad
ard party of people from Nurredal
settled near Clinton, and immigcan is
from Telemarken and the vicinity
of Stavanger, made Muskego their
future home, The year after these
arrivals the well-known Koshkonong
settlement was founded by Gunnul
Olson Vindig, from Numedal.
Nearly all emigrant IS from Norway
about this time found a refuge in
one of these settlements. The pio-
neer minister, Rev. G. L.. Clauson,
received his call from Muskego. At
Koshkonong the Rev, ]. W. G. Diet
richson delivered his first sermon on
American soil. On Jefferson Prairie
Filing Eilsen founded his church So
ciety in 1916. In 1847 the first Nor
wegian newspaper in America
was issued in the Muskego settle
ment, with James D. Reymert, as
editor. And in this way we might
continue to enumerate all those
things which are looked upon with
veneration and affection by Norwe--
gians in all parts of the United
States, and which received its first
impetus from the pioneers of Wis
consin.

consisted mostly of Norwegians.
Only the other DAY this regiment
received in the newspapers of the
northwest a splendid testimonial for
bravery. The governor of Alabama,
requested the Wisconsin assembly
to return flag, which the Fifteenth
Wisconsin captured In the battle of
Island No. 10, April Z, 1862. The
fact is recalled that the Fifteenth
lost more men than any other Wis
consin regiment, and that it was
this Norwegian regiment which. in
the battle Of Chickamaugua, saved
the day for the Union cause. In
Wisconsin, 5000 Norwegians, 200
Danes and 100 Swedes Joined the.
Union forces.
The Norwegians have also played
an important part in the political
history of the state. James d.
Reymert had seat in the constitu-
tional convention in 1047. He later
became a member of the assembly
and of the senate. Hans G. Her,
the famous colonel Of the Fifteenth
Wisconsin,, was in 1859 elected to
the office of state prison commits
sioner. Hans B. Warner was elect
ed secretary of state III 1878; Nils
