Matthew Trimble. an authority upon
the valuation of personal property. for
nine years member of the board of real
estate assessors and the excise board of
the District, and at one time assessor OF
the District. was today transferred from
the real estate board to the board of per-
sonal tax appraisers.
This change also means that he retires
from the excise board. He will be sue
ceeded by E. G. Davis
w. 2. Richards recently appointed as
SCISSOR. directed this action. 1t is an
nounced as the first move toward a COM
plete reorganization of the business meth
DDS and of the personnel of the depart.
ment he presIdes over.
Other changes to be made have not been
announced. but MIR. Richards expects to
make them effective in week or so.
Since his appointment as assessor ne
has been studying the details of his office
and deciding where improvement could
ne made. He has talked with the Com
missioners about his plans. They have
been unanimously approved.
Mr.. Trimble'S transfer was brought
about by the transfer of +. q. Da-
Wis as collector of taxes TO the
board of assistant assessors and the
transfer of Louis G. Wilson from the
board of personal tax appraisers to the
vacancy made by the promotion Of Charles
c. Rogers to the post of collector.
When these changes were made ii was
generally supposed that Alexander Nc
KenZie member of the real estate
board would be transferred to the position
on the personal tax board made vacant
by Mr. Wilson's transfer. and that Mr..
Davis would be given Mr.. Mckenzie's
place After considering the matter for
several weeks Mr.. Richards deemed 1t
better for the department to transfer Mr..
Trimble and retain Mr.. Mckenzie in his
present place.
In his order bringing about this change
Mr. Richards also designated Samuel J.
kalbfus to act chairman of the real
estate and the excise boards and Mr..
Trimble to act as chairman of the per-
scnal tax board.
Attitude of MI. Richards.
Mr.. Richards, in speaking of his new
granting liquor licenses in what are
known AS residential neighborhoods. and
that he will always vote against them.
He contends that saloons should be con-
fined to the business streets solely. He
called attention to the apparent disincli-
nation on the part of business men who
are known to oppose the granting of a
saloon license in their respective neigh
borhoods, and yet, who never appear be-
fore the excise board to openly protest
or oppose the granting of the license. Mr..
Richards cited several recent cases where
business men were known TO object to the
location of new saloons in their nelSh-
borhood, but who raised no voice in pro-
test when the case WAS called for a hear
ing before the excise board.

Three Persons Are Dead and Another
~s4 One Dying.
Peter J. Schollert, head of the
Schollert company, painters and dec
orators; Mrs. P. Schollert, his wife,
and Lewis Christianson, brother of
Mrs. Schollert. are dead at the Schol-
lert home in st. Paul as the result of
asphyxiation by Illuminating gas.
Hans Hendrickson, cousin of Mrs.
Sohollert, is at the city hospital,
where physicians say he cannot posi-
bly, recover.
The dead and dying were discovered
by Mrs. G. Webber, married daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Schollert, who
lives next door, and who, at the re-
quest of her brother Victor, who had
arisen early and gone to work, went
to the house to call her parents and
their country visitors, who had been
at the fair the previous evening.
Failing to arouse them from their
slumbers. and detecting a strong odor
of gas Mrs. Webber instantly sought
help and DR.. Wirth was summoned.
He found life extinct in the bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. Schollert and of her
brother, Mr. Ch-istianson. .. e..
There still remained a spark of life
in Mr.. Hendricksen and he was hast
ened to the city hospital with hope
of saving his life, although the hos
pital authorities fear that the elderly
man cannot withstand the battle for
life, as his age and physical condition
are against him. ->-~
A gas tube attached to bath heater
in the bathroom which became dis
connected by coming in contact with
the chain is assigned to be the cause
of the accident. When the bodies
were discovered gas was pouring from
small stub to which the tube should
have been attached.

70 THE VOTERS OF THE sOUTHs
REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT.
OF MOWER COUNTY,:

Editor Of The Transcript will.
again write a few lines in your valu-
able paper to all the temperance
voters in the South district who are,
in favor Of County Option so they:
can avoid any mistake at the COM
ing primary election, the 18th inst.
Harlan G. Palmer Of lie Roy is the,
only one out of four Republican
candidates in the district who has
the integrity and manhood to pledge
himself squarely before the people
for county option, and consequently
is entitled to all the, temperance
votes in the South district. The
Prohibition party has put up an
honored and respected citizen, Aleck
Halverson of Nevada township, asz
their candidate for representative, In.
order to keep up party organiza
tion. But it is understood and sos
stated by the Prohibition party orr
ganizers, that they would not work
to get the most temperance votes for.
Mr.. Halverson, but Just nominal
vote for nomination on the Prohibi-
tion ticket for the general election, !,
in the event Mr.. Palmer should be.
beaten at the primary. It has been
so agreed to in order that we could
centraliZe all our temperance forces:
for county option against the liquor:
interest. This does not reflect in the.
least on the honesty, Integrity or:
ability Of Mr.. Ha1verson as legis-*
lative candidate and citizen, but is.
a friendly and amicably arrange
ment under the conditions prevail
ing in this district, for harmonious
and victorious result for county op-.:
| tion, temperance and reform. This.
is the only practical and logical ar
rangement to overcome the liquor
! votes, for divided we fall, united we,
J stand, and if all the temperance peo-
pie, both Republican and Prohibi-:
tionists, will unite their votes for
Mr.. Palmer his victory is assured. #
