History of Case.
I.lllle Oleson was last seen alive by her
two little brothers and her father late In
the afternoon of December 8. The child,
clad only In the thin dress and slippers
had attempted to follow her brothers after
the cattle when she was told to go back
When the boys returned to the house their
little sister was not there. Search began
immemdiately. All next day the Oleson
family and neighbors searches tn vain, and
the people of Pender and Bancroft joined
In the attempt to flnf the child, but to
For days the cltisens kept up tha
search, and officers all over the west were
notified to watch for the child, kidnappers
bolng suspected. Two weeks after the dls
appearance scores went to Rosalie from
Omaha. 8ioux City and surrounding
towns to search for the child. The Oleson
farm was gone over with a fine tooth
comb and officers paraded around to find
something which would fasten suspicion
to someone when foul play was suggested.
Then the yellow newspapers got busy and
pointed the finger of suspicion at Olaf
Oleson. father of the little girl. They
claimed to have discovered that the little
girl was last seen while attempting to fol
low her little brothers to the feeding lots
and that her father had driven her back,
using some force. Every conceivable argu
ment was used to fasten suspicion on Ola
son. The sheriff of Dodge county was
called In, going to Rosalie. A police re
porter of an Omaha paper sprung the story
that the child's tongue wae found by the
police reporter tn a pile of hay not fax
from the Oleson home. .The girl's father
was aaked to go to Fremont for an exami
nation and the tongue.story was told him.
After a short Interview the officers were
convinced that he was a much wronged
man and absolutely Innocent of any con
nection With the disappearance of his llttla
girl.
Medians Called la.
Then another "yellow" broke out and
caused Mr, Oleson more trouble. Thla time
it came from Sioux City, where some spir
itualist attempted to get vibrations from
the spirit world for so much per, the ex
pense being furnished by a red line news
paper anxioua for a "story" regardless of
the cost to the parenta of the- child. Mr.
Oleson went through the ordeal with the
alleged clairvoyants and "mediums," who
reported promptly to the plnklets. But the
spiritualistic mediums failed, as had the
officers, and Mr. 'Oleson vindicated him
self from the charge which sensationalists
attempted to fasten on him.
Unable to atand the grief which remain
ing tn the old home caused Mr. and Mrs.
Oleson moved to a farm near Wausau, but
the neighbors and people of Bancroft and
Pender were indignant at the attempts
made to fasten suspicion of Olaf Oleson
and declared his arrest to be only the re
sult of the "yellow" methods of a Bloux
City and an Omaha red liner and tha stunt
of taking some gruesome relic to the Ole
son xf arm by the overiealoua officers.
The opinion prevails in Bancroft today
that the little glr! wandered away In the
mist which covered the Winnebago reser
vation the evening of her disappearance.
Her distance, from home gradually reached
three miles and the archers did not look
that far from the home for the child.

Queer Blda on Sugar.
The State Board of Purchase and Sup
plies haa discovered that granulated sugar
Is worth more money In one town than an
other and the matter of freight rates docs
not aeem to justify the difference.
In Lincoln, for Instance, one firm has
the contract for supplying both the peni
tentiary and the asylum. Both of these In
stitutions are on sidetracks, about the
same distance from the city, and yet the
penitentiary .pays $4.96 a hundred pounds
while tha asylum pays U K.
The difference of 6 cents may be ex
plained by the cost of handling, but an
other Lincoln firm has the contract to fur
nish both the Kearney Industrial school
and tha Hastings asylum, towns fifty miles
apart, and the contract price la the same,
15. JR per 100 pounds. Hastings Is ninety
eight miles west of Lincoln.
At tha recent letting the board had some
difficulty in getting wholesale houses to
bid In some Instances, while In those lo
calities where the retail dealers bid. the
wholesale houses which supply them, kept
out entirely. As the law requires the board
to let tha contract to the' lowest bidder. It
was simply up against the proposition of
doing the best It could'under the circum
stances. A . Geneva local dealer secured
the contract to aupply the Institution there

he fajled to secure the contract for the

Coal Rates to Bo Reduced.
Various parties have been trying to pin
a peacock feather in Henry Clarke's hat
because of the victory of the state railway
commission In Its fight for a reduction In
coal rates from the west to points In Ne
braska. Word was received In Lincoln this
morning that the Interstate Commerce
commission had found for the atate In the
case and had ordered a reduction as prayed
for In the petition filed by the railway
commission.
Testimony In the case was taken before
a special referee sent to Lincoln by the
Interstate Commerc commission and later
Mr. Clarke, representing the Nebraska
Railway commission, argued the case be
fore the commission In Washington.
The complaint alleged the Union Pacific
charged for the transportation of coal from
Rock Springe and Hanna, Wyo., to all
points In Nebraska a blanket rate of $4.50
and $3.50, respectively. It was also alleged
the company was charging a lower rate
to points In Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming
of equal distance. The ratf ordered by the
Interstate Commerce commission means a
reduction to Nebraska In freight rates of
from 50 cents to $1.60 a toa. In 190$ it was
reported the Union Paeieio dhlpped about
1.000 cars of thla 'coal hif.of Nebraska.

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and
how conducive to health the games in which they Indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri

nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure

Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has come Into general favor In many millions of
well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence Is based upon
personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has also met with the approval of physicians gen
erally, because they know It is wholesome, simple and gentle in Its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna, obtained by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act
most beneficially, and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Cal

remedy, and hence we are free to refer to all well Informed physicians, who do
not approve of patent medicines and never favor Indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna always has the full name of the Company California Fig
Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that It Is for sale In
bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent
size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it.
