Mr.. Olsen 10 Leave Us.

Oliver Olsen has finally determined to
leave Rock Island and locate in city
where the climate will be more congenial
to his health Mr.. Olsen has been suf-
ferer for some time. and since his return
from the southwest he has not improved
as he hoped, although he found lis trip
highly beneficial to him. Mr.. Olsen has
therefore reluctantly determined to move
further west-Sslt Lake City Icing prob
ably his objective point. This announce
ment will cause general regret in Rock
Island, where Mr. Olsen has re-
sided since q child of 3 years. He
has grown up with Rock Island, partici-
pating in all its struggles for advance
ment, and mingling his own strug-
giles with those of the city. 1t is
such efforts that build up cities and
promote the individual in the affairs
of the world, and further his own
interests as we'll. Mr.. Olsen is an exam
pie in illustration of this fact. For
10 years he has been an active and sue
cessful practitioner at the Rock Island
county bar and in every sense one of Rock
Islands representative. influential and
progressive citizens. We wish him sue
cess in his new western home.

Ausgustnna TO Have n Fair.

The Augustana University association
held an extra meeting last night at which
ii was decided to make arrangements for
university exposition or fair 10 culmi
nate at Rock Island in June, 1898. The
following were elected as committee to
draw up plans and do preliminary work
before the annual meeting, which will be
held in two weeks: Profs. J Z Gustus
and P. j. SJoblom. Messrs. A. G. Ander-
son, of the Book Concern Fl jacobson and
c. A. Rosander. The meeting was
largely attended Several enthusiastic
speeches were made. 1t is the firm inten-
ton of the association to establish one of
the most prominent universities of the
west at Rock Island They are confident
that with united push and energy they
will accomplish the same. The associa-
ton now numbers over 1876 members.
Every effort will be made to have the
Augustana synod hold its grand jubilee
at Rock Island and Moline in 1893.
Thousands of people will come to attend
the same, and see the institution so dear
to them, and to which they have con-
tributed so literally. If the project is
carried through several thousand dollars
will be realized, and the university
grounds afterwards besutified and the
money put to valuable use for the insti-
tuition in general.

A Very Large Opal.

BOISE Cry, IDAHO, July l7.-OpaI mines
were discovered near Moscow, Latah coun-

been worked prohtably since, but now
comes the news that fine opal was taken
out few days ago weighing one and a
quarter pounds. The local papers certify
TO the truth OF the statement, and different
persons say they have seen it. If not the
largest one ever discovered,it must be very
near it.
The mines are upon private property and
there aren no Government lands near afford
ing a field for prospecting. About sixteen
years ago few very small diamonds were
found in the County of Owyhee, and great
excitement resulted Subsequent search
proved improbable and was abandoned.

NELL MURDERED GIRLS
BY Poison. simply for the sake of Murder.

BY Poison, simply for the sake OF MURDER.
He Used Strychnine-3o Over.
LoNDoN, July 1S.-Thomas NELL, ar
rested for attempting 10 blackmali DR..
Harper, of Barnstable, was to-day ar
raigned before Sir John Bridge, in the
Bow street Police Court, on the charge
of having murdered Matilda Clover oy
administering strychnine TO her. Inc
case has excited widespread inter-
est as showing how criminal
can overreach himself and place
himself within the clutches OF the
law. If Nell had not for some inscrut-
able reason attempted TO blackmail sew
eral prominent persons, he would proc
ably have been free to-day to pursue
his career of villany and murder.
When the police followed up the clue
furnished by the letter written oy Nelii
to DR.. Harper, they came across lnolS-
putable evidence that the olacKmaiier
was A murderer, and the further they
examined into the case the more they
became convinced that NELL was re-
sponsible for the deaths Of at least four
girls.
When Neill was brought in and placed
In the dock there was general cranlhg
of necks To see him. he looked well
and his face betrayed no sign Of ankle
" or trouble. He asked to be furnish
ed with writing materials, and when
they we're given him he made coplous
notes Of the proceedings. Mr.. {. +.
Gill appeared on behalf Of the Treasury.
He said he would prove the circum-
stances under which Matilda Clover
was murdered, and be asked that the
prisoner be committed. Mr.. Gil added
that he would have TO refer to the
death Of three,others who were killed in
a manner precisely similar TO the Clover
girl. The Court grated Mr.. GilPS re-
quest and the prisoner was remanded.
A popularity of the crimes with whic D
Neil is charged is the apparent lack OF
motive. The case is believed TO be with
out parallel in the annals of English
criminal jurisprudence. Deeming, the
wholesale murderer, had motive Tor
his crimes, a desire TO get rid OF women
he had tired of, but apparently Nell
murdered simply for the sake OF murder
