Mrs. Nora Oleson was born at
Marengo, Iowa, May 30, 1872, and died
at her home near Jerico, Iowa, Sept.
%, 1900.
Nora Blakeslee, as she will be re-.
membered by many old friends, came
with her parents from Marengo to
Howard county when small girl of
about years. Here they lived until
the spring Of 1887, when they moved
to Arcadia, Nebraska.
She was married to Andrew Oleson
on June Z, 1896, and after a short and
happy honeymoon, came to to their
home near Jerico. Here they lived
in blessed happiness until after short
illness, the dear Savior called her
home, there with the dear sister, who
has gone before, to await the coming
of her loved ones.
She leaves father, mother, one
sister and two brothers, with husband
and three little children to mourn
her loss.
Ills hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard, SO hard to sdeak the words:
Must we forever part9
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful tomb's embrace.
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

Talk of Importing Negroes.
In the lower section Of the Schuyl-

were to be imported from Virginia
! to take the places of the strikers has
been revived, and considerably dis
cussed. A rumor was current that
some Of the operators had actually ar
ranged with agents of men in Viz
Rinia who make business of supply
ing negro labor to import large
number Of colored men here to work
in the mines. Mine owners and strike
leaders pronounce the story ridicu-
lous. In the first place. they say
inexperienced negroes, or white men
for that matter, would be almost
a worthless in the mines, and 1t would
a require long time to make any large
body of such men useful in cutting
e coal. In the next place, even the min
Il owners admit that such move woult
e precipitate almost revolution, which

i and strikers, but all the workingmel

NEuEN DENIES Il AGAIN
NORTHERN PACIFIC PRESIDENT
TALKS THE RUMOR OF THE
CONSOLIDATION
SAYS IT HAS INJURED TRAFFIC
Report Has Created Feeling of I'm
rest Among stOckhOIders-BOth
N p. and C. \. stock
FIuctUate.

Despite the fact that a contemporary
states that no denials have ever been
made of the rumors of the Great North
ern absorbing the Northern Pacific, Pres
ident Mellen, who emphadcally denied
the story to the G o b last Saturday
night, has taken occasion to reiterate
this denial in very forcible terms The
story is still going the rounds and has
believers on both sides of 1t in railroad
and commercial circles.
Mr. Mellen declares that this circulated
report has injured Northern Pacific trat-
i1c to such an extent that two months
Will be required to restore business to
its normal strength. He says that own
ers of n. p. stock have been half in
clined for several days past to let go
their interest and that the company s
loss will in all amount to half million
dollars
The origin of this story has not yet
been disclosed, but that it was born in
New York mind is not questioned in this
city. Neither an official of the North
ern Pacific nor the Great Northern has
been found to confirm the report in the
slightest degree or even offer an opinion
favorable to it's truthfulness.
Although Northern Pacific stocks have
been the feature in the speculative world
ever since this report was started. Pres
ident Mellen says that the stock is not
selling a shade higher than 1t is worth
and that the causes for the advance,
whatever there is Of 1t, are perfectly
Legitimate.
The f1uctuaton in the stocks of both
the Great Northern and Northern Pacific
have been radical during the past few
days and they have both reached maxi
mum figures, but in this city there has
been little buying that can be confirmed.
