ANOTHER SEARCH FOR THE MISS
ING OLSON CHILD.
QIRL MYSTIC IN THE CASE
Anna C. Miller of Sioux City , Pos
sessed of a Vivid Imagination and
Strange "Power * " Thinks She Can
Locate the Missing Child.
Sioux City , In. . Feb. 28 , The Trl-
mme revives thu Olson disappearance
caoo through Anna Christie Miller , n
girl inyHtlc , gifted with bewildering
powom of clalrvoyancy , recently a
clerk living nt 215 Thirteenth street ,
who baa unlisted her strange powers
In n Hoarch for Lllllo Olson , daughter
of Olof Olson , of Rosalie , Nob. , who
has been lost nlnce the middle of last
December.
Three visits to the Rosalie renter's
shack by Mlw Miller In the last few
weeks have disclosed startling and ab-
nolnto proofs of the llawlesi * accuracy
of her unparalleled "second sight. "
She declares stoutly that LJlllo Olson
was murdered by a man on the night
of her disappearance , that her body
was loft In thu Olson stable until a
hole was dug underneath the cabin ,
and that shortly afterwards the dead
body was wrapped in n growsomo cov
ering of grain sacks and barrel slats
and removed to some point In the
slough beside an adjacent corn field ,
within a radius of a inllo of the cabin ,
"Sid" Young Successor.
Sheriff Pat Dorsey , successor to
"Sid" Young , who led the spectacular
search by a posse of a thousand men
and boyH one Sunday late In Decem
ber , accompanied the 18-year-old seer
oss on her visit to the premises last
Monday , as well on Wednesday , Feb
ruary 12. The plain , blunt , matter-of-
fact olllccr of the law Is astounded nt
the frail little girl's bizarre mental
ity. Ho Is on the point of making ar
rests , based on the evidence gathered
by the girl.
Miss Miller Is not only positive that
n ghastly piece of foul play lies back
of the mysterious disappearance of
Lllllo Olson , but avers that other
members of the Olson family have
been slain. She believes that before
she completes her clalrvoyaucy at
Rosalie , she will prove that Olson's
brother ( who recently disappeared ) as
well as two of the Olson clan's chil
dren who are dead , died at some mur
derer's hand.
The latest angle of the dramatic
events at Rosalie Is as yet shrouded
In utter secrecy In the environs of the
little town. Sheriff Dorsey and his
frail little guide , who Is just a slip of
n girl whoso appearance belles even
her age , have worked together under
the utmost secrecy. Dorsey Is on the
Olson premises today. Miss Miller Is
momentarily awaiting a telegram from
him summoning her again to the spot.
Rosalie Unsuspecting.
And Rosalie , racked In the past by
lynchlngs and sinister events such as
have seldom fallen to the lot of n
scantily populated community of
ranchers , never suspects that the most
awe Inspiring of Inquisitions seems on
the verge of disclosing grewsomo
proofs of heartless misdeeds.
For years Miss Miller has amused
herself with card reading , mind read
Ing and "second sight" performances
that have mode her friends In Sioux
City marvel. When the Olson tragedy
was brought to her notice , she at once
conceived the idea of solving the mys'
tery. Presently , according to an Inter
view with her , facts began to reveal
themselves to her in mental panto
mime. On the screen of her marvel
ous brain retina , she says she saw a
man strike the little girl with a club
on the night of the furious rain storm
after her brothers had sent her home
from the pasture.
"I could see , " said Miss Miller , "that
the stick cut her head. The man
seized her at the neck when she
screamed. Then the little girl fell
down. The man put her somewhere
in one of the sheds or stable. Then
he dug a hole under the house , about
two and a half feet deep , covering her
up In It. Later I 'got' a picture of the
same man , whose features were indls
tinct , assisted by another figure , either
a man. or n woman , I don't know which ,
taking the body from the hole , filling
the hole up and taking the body away.
It was on a moonlight night. "

TEACHERS HAVE STRANGE IDEAS
One Dakota Teacher Says a Geyser is
Frozen Stream Running Down Hill.
Pierre , S. D. , March 3. The correct
ing of the manuscripts here by the
state examining board has unearthed
some knowledge of strange and won
drous makeup. The results of the ex
aminations are the more strange when
it is taken into consideration that the
applicants are all over 18 years of age ,
while many in their preliminary state
ments confess to having taught some
years before coming to this state.
Of all the people trying for certifi
cates , 800 of the 1,000 are women. Ful
ly 50 per cent of the applicants will
fall to gain the required marks to en
title them to a certificate.
The general grade of Intelligence
and the reasons for such wholesale
failure of the applicants may readily
be determined from the answers given
to the questions below. These ques
tions and answers are taken just as
they happen to occur In the manu
scripts :
S. What knowledge should a teach
er possess aside from text books ?
A. Knowledge of God and current
events.
Q. What Is a geyser ?
A. A geyser Is a frozen stream run
ning down hill.
Q. Name a substance which trans
mils sound.
A. Sound Is transmitted by the Erie
canal.
Q. What are civil rights ?
A. To see and be seen.
Q. Give an exclusive right of the
senate.
A. The senate has the exclusive
right to embezzle the president.
The great earnestness with which
these would be pedagogues persist In
trying for the examinations makes the

SATURDAY A GREAT OCCASION
FOR MANY PEOPLE.
FIRST BIRTHDAY SINCE 19W
Not Since Four Years Ago Saturday
Has There Been a Birthday for the
"Leap Year Babies" L. Sessions
Celebrating.
And now It Is for the leap year
babies to make merry. Saturday was
the twenty-ninth , and the first oppor
tunity In four years for the celebration
of birthdays by those horn on the last
day of February In a leap year.
By Immemorial usage , the term "ba
bies" Is always applied to leap year
folk , whether they be 80 years old or
4. Leap year babies they were when
they were born and leap year Iwxblcs
they t remain , perhaps because even
the t oldest of them becomes , when ago
Is reckoned by birthdays and not by
years , scarcely more than a fledgling.
A man of 00 on Saturday Is really only
14 , birthday reckoning.
'Omitted In 1900.
The calendar makers left out Feb
ruary 20 In 1900 , In the transition from
onu century to another , and thus leap
year babies born prior to Uint tlmo
have not even had the opportunity to
celebrate n birthday regularly every
four years.
If babies of leap year , however , have
only a chance occasionally for the
lighting of a birthday cake and the
observance of birthday festivities , they
have the satisfaction of knowing that
the fairy of good fortune again , ac
cording to Immemorial tradition al
ways has them under the protection
of her wand.
"Yours Is ever a lucky star
If you a leap year baby are. "
A Time For Merrymaking.
Thus says the old verse , In which
those * who owe natal allegiance to leap
year usually profess entire confidence ,
Thus Is it that Saturday Is a tlmo
of merrymaking and general high
Jinks on the part of birthday cele
brants. Many children who will be
observing only their second or third
birthday will give parties for their
young friends , who have a chance to
yI
play I ) at four times as many birthday
parties as themselves. Older folk
men and women who confess to as
many as six or seven birthdays will
also welcome the anniversary with
festivities.
L. Sessions of Norfolk is one of the
persons who is celebrating his first
birthday In four years. This Is Mr.
Sessions' thirteenth birthday. He was

This Institute , composed of a group
of regular graduated physicians and
surgeons , licensed , legally chartered
and Incorporated under the laws of
the State of Ohio , sends at Ita own ex
pense these eminent medical special
ists In order to Introduce the newest
methods and discoveries In medlclhe
and surgery , such as the system of
treatment under X-ray , Violet ray ,
Flnscn ray , Hydrotherapy , Etc. , to glvt

all medicines required to complete a
cure , absolutely free. These special-
lets will diagnose your case and give
you the benefit of their skill and mod.
leal knowledge.
There Is In this case no experimentIng -
Ing or guess work at your expense.
You will be told whether you can be
cured or not. If your case Is curable
they will put you under treatment Im
mediately ; If Incurable they will give
you such advice as may prolong your
life. Their treatment always gives
quick relief , and ultimately positively
cures. Being prepared to cope with
each Individual case the human sys
tem Is thoroughly cleansed of the dls-
ease in a natural and direct manner ,
and Improvement Is noticed at once ;
even the worst cases are treated without -
out any inconvenience to the patient
or the pursuing of his or her dally
vocation.
If you are Improving under your
family physician , ao not come and
take up their valuable time , as they
absolutely refuse to treat any one who
Is under the care of the local physic
ians. They wish besides to give each
patient [ plenty of
time and their un-
undivided attention , but can not listen
to | long stories not pertaining to your
trouble. They have discarded the old
methods and remedies used for ages
by the medical world , and which It
would be folly to depend upon longer ,
for they are not known to cure , as
thousands die , depending on them for
relief. The following list of diseases
only are taken under treatment , towlt :
Diseases of the Nervous System , Heart ,
Stomach , Lungs , Kidneys , Catarrh ,
( purulent or dry ) , Consumption , Epi
lepsy , Deafness , Diseases of Women ,
Tumors , Pseudo Cancers , Piles , of a
Chronic Nature .only. They treat
Deafness by an entirely new method ,
and hearing In many cases is restored
at once. Catarrh in all Its varied
forms like other diseases if once taken
under treatment , is cured permanent
ly to remain so and to never return.
It matters not whom you have seen , or
with whom treated , do not fail to call ,
as a visit will cost you nothing , and
may restore you to health , or even
save or prolong your life , as thousands
of persons will testify by unassailable
testimonials In all parts of the coun
try. If you suspect Kidney Trouble ,
bring a two ounce bottle of your Urine
for chemical and microscopical an
alysis.
REMEMBER : The free offer is
during this visit only , and will not be
repeated. Persons commencing treat
ment upon their future visits will be
required to pay , but not onu cent will
be asked from those commencing
treatment during this vis't ' for any
medicine necessary to effect a cure ,
Irrespective of your position in life , or
the number of those who come on
above date. Whosoever , or by whom
wanted , a positive guarantee to cure
will be given under their system of
treatment. Those having long stand
ing and complicated disease , who have
failed to get well and become discour
aged , are particularly invited to call.

not be admitted to consultation unless

physicians.
