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.

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.

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

been “dry” got “moist” again, and
four “tied” on the thirst proposition.
At Worcester, Mass., on Monday,
the New England Methodist Episcopal

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.'

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.

A disastrous fire swept over Chelsea,

While some of the farmers have

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

result “wet” as it was, but the types

found with his unmentionables on

From Alliance where a dumber of
prosecutions are pending against liq

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

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
