CONHISER’s BODY Of OLSON GIRL FOUND Mystery of Little Child’s Dis appearance Is Cleared Up. Rosalie, Neb, April 13.—The body of Lillie Olson, the four-year-old girl who mysteriously disappeared from her home near here on December 1, was found fha ravine two miles north east of this place this afternoon by two schoolboys. The body was badly decomposed but was recognized as that of the long sought for child. The condition of the body indicates that there was no foul play and tliat the child, wandering from home, lost her way and died of starvation. Two sons of Mr. Neilson, a farmer living north of this place, discovered the body of little Lillie Olson as they were cutting across Busselman’s pas ture two miles northeast of Rosalie and two miles and a half north of the Olson farm. The body of the child lay in a deep ravine with the right side of her face turned upward. It bore no marks of violence. The same dress that the child wore on the day she wandered away covered the body. The boys immediately notified their father who came to this place and told the local authorities. The body was brought here late this evening. An inquest will be held tomorrow morning by Coroner Dr. Reed who is on his way from Walt Hill tonight. The funeral of the Olson child will be held at Bloomfield Wednesday. The disappearance of the Olson child created a great sensation in Thurston county last fall and attract ed the attention of the entire state. Lillie Olson, who was the four-year old daughter of a farmer living near Rosalie, was last seen on the evening of Sunday, December 1, attempting to follow her older brother after the cows. When she did not return to the house, a search was started and for days posses made a futile hunt for the little girl. When the search did not result in the finding of the child, many people thought she had met with foul play. At first suspicion attached to the Indians who live on the Winnebago reservation, which is near the Olson farm. Investigation, however, showed that the redskins had nothing to do with the disappear ance of the girl. Ugly rumors con necting other people with the mys Lerious disappearance were circulated for several weeks but nothing came of them and the search which had been carried on at different times for a month was finally dropped, and the case of Lillie Olson remained a deep mystery until yesterday.

Ed. and Pub. The city was very much surprised and shocked Wednesday evening as the report passed over town that Mrs. Charles Alexander had destroyed her life by taking some kind of poison, presumably carbolic acid. The report proved only too true. With apparent ly no cause, except that she is said to have been of a very nervous tempera ment and that her health for some time past has not been good, she chose a time when her husband was at home, diverted his attention for a moment by sending him to the kitchen and at that moment drained a small bottle of its contents, walking to the kitchen door and spoke to her hus band. saying “Good-bye, I'm going," and almost immediately sank into unconsciousness from which she never rallied although medical assistance was summoned at once, and every agency employed to restore lit*. She died in about half an hour after tak ing the drug. Mrs. Alexander was on the streets yesterday afternoon and her friends say they noticed nothing unusual in her actions which would indicate that such tragic thoughts were on her mind. When her husbandcame home for supper he noticed nothing un usual, and he is prostrated over the sad affair.—St. Paul Republican. At Mobile, Alabama, this week Monday, a judge of the criminal court held the Sunday law against amuse ments as unconstitutional Bryan is now having a case of “Too Much Johnson,” as the Minnesota aspirant for the presidency is causing William J. to sit up and take notice According to a compilation in the Lincoln Evening News, there are 240 “dry”, towns In Nebraska, of which 40 came in out of the “wet” at the last election. Nine towns which have been “dry” got “moist” again, and four “tied” on the thirst proposition. At Worcester, Mass., on Monday, the New England Methodist Episcopal conference adopted a memorial to general conference recommending the repeal of the article forbidding danc ing. card playing and attending theaters. That’s astonishingly liberal from the Methodistical standpoint. Hastings is having a time of it over the late municipal election. It ap pears the result was “wet” but the board stands a tie. The mayor is “wet” but his time would be out before the meeting of the new board and no vote was taken on his suc cessor. Also one of the “wet” council men has signed nearly all the peti tions out for saloon licenses. There are several other “tangles” that have the whole matter badly mixed. Only two petitions so far out for saloons in Loup City, those of Mr. Graefe and T. II. Eisner, H. C. Mu lick preferring at present not to take out a petition. Mr. F. C. Herschlag informs us he will go out of the busi ness when his year is up, having so decided as long as three months ago. We understand the temperance people will file remonstrances against the petitions and have enough evidence in sight to sustain their contentions. Rev. Anton Kulils, priest of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic church at Kansas City, has condemned the “Merry Widow” hat and it must go. The reverend father says “Hats with broad, spreading brims and tall wav ing plumes, little tents they may be called, are entirely out of place at the services of the church. They are out of place when worn with the crucifix. Hats with brims spreading out over two feet must not be worn, but must be left with the sexton.” Father Kuhls is the priest who issued the injunction against elbow sleeves last summer.' Weary Willie Woke Up Wrong Passenger Quite a breezy exchange of com pliments are reported to have passed on Tuesday, in Chase’s store, between Rev. J. O. Hawk and the onlyBillious Fisher, whose title is clerk of the village board. It seems that Rev. Hawk and A. L. Zimmerman went to Fisher’s office and secured from him as clerk a certified copy of the peti tions gotten out by two saloon keepers. Later, Fisher, in the rear of the drug store, in his usual chaste expressions, liberally gave his opinion of the minister and Mr. Zimmerman, the minister happening to be in the store at the time. Soon Fisher came out from the rear of the store, when the lively interchange of compliments ensued, which according to bystanders came out some 16 to 1 in favor of the gentleman of the two. Broken Bow voted out pool halls in that city at their late municipal election. April 22nd has been designated as Arbor Day this year. That will be next Wednesday. Senator Foraker of Ohio threatens to leave the republican party. That's tough—on Foraker. A change of four votes would have made Loup City “dry” this year. But you know the old adage, “A miss is as good as a mile.” The Bee says the average American boy is smarter than his father and all the rest of the family to boot. This coming from Victor is not so slow. Gov. Hughes is not quite so bulky as Taft, but is not allowing the big secretary to go to sleep in perfect security of winging the presidential nomination. Lincoln went ‘■wet’' by 221 votes, as ascertained by the final count. But booze can only be sold between the hours of 7 o’clock in the morning and 7 o’clock in the evening— all day light. Jacob Albers writes from Loup City to correct the impression that that municipality has voted out the saloon. Mr. Albers says the town was carried by the wets by six votes.—Lincoln State Journal. A disastrous fire swept over Chelsea, a suburb of Boston, last Sunday, ren dering 10,000 people homeless, des troying $8,000,000 worth of property and devastating some 350 acres in area. The fire started in the dump ing ground and a brisk gale blowing at the time did the rest. While some of the farmers have been worrying because of the lack of rain others say that they have ob served that the best seasons that we have ever had were dry in March and April. If there may be a plenty of moisture after the crops are in the ground it will be that much the better. The soil is not generally too dry to work easily.—Ord Journal. Tlie Omaha Bee got the telegram frem this city in regard to the results of the late municipal election badly twisted. The telegram sent gave the result “wet” as it was, but the types made it read “dry” instead. It re minds one of the Irishman, who hav ing imbibed more than his regulation could comfortably carry was later found with his unmentionables on wrong and when his attention was called to the fact insisted they were all right, but “Holy smoke, how his body was twisted.” From Alliance where a dumber of prosecutions are pending against liq uor dealers for violating the pure food law comes an appeal to Deputy Food Commissioner J. W. Johnson for a dismissal of the pendii\g cases on the ground that the recent election puts the saloons of that city out of business. It is urged that the result of the election is punishment enough for these liquor dealers. The deputy commissioner insists that the prosecu tions instituted before the election should go on for the law commands prosecution of all violations. David City went dry at the late municipal election and on last Satur day, according to a dispatch to the Bee, a mass meeting of about 150 farmers assembled in the court house from the surrounding country for the purpose of discussing the question of boycotting the town because it went dry. A motion was made and unani mously carried that they boycott and put a chain around tlie town and do their trading in other towns. Nick Meysenburg called tlie meeting to order and Nick Demuth and Theo. Theewen were made chairman and secretary. And now the the old ' “Nick” will undoubtedly be to pay.
