OLGA SWEDBERG'S LIFE.
1t Was BIighted BY a False Love-
Wants to Die.
From Tuesdays Daily.

81 drank the poison because I wanted
to die. To one of my kind life is hell
Two years ago I was a good girl. Oh,
my mother!"
2 This is the statement made by Olga
Swedberg, the Mankato girl who at
tempted to commit suicide in Minneap-
oils
In a barely audible whisper with great
effort, Olga Swedberg, aged nineteen, at
deaths door from pneumonia following
attempted suicide by laudanum, Friday
afternoon, summed up her life's brief
history to The Minneapolis Daily News
in the above four sentences.
Last Monday, as one of the scarlet
Tipped, whose soul in a moment of re-
trospection sickened at the shameless life,
she swallowed large dose of laudanum
to end her misery.
Two years ago her heart was light, her
soul pure, her eyes bright, her cheeks
aflush with health, and her sunny smile
JOY to all who knew her.
In two short years all this has fled
forever.
The life that sears the soul and bars
all beauty has done its awful
wrecking thoroughly. The wan face on
the pillow at the city hospital spoke of
nothing but great WEAKNESS, the large
blue eyes were dry and lustreless, the
girlish mouth drawn and white with, a
fixed expression mingling defiance and
remorse, and the long thin fingers with
the yellow cigaret-stained tips twitching
nervously-a palsied ghost of her lost
girlhood's beauty.
But in the midst of all her misery
not one word of reproach against the
man who brought her where she is save
this: 81 had lover, but he let me go.'
Such is the love of woman, and the
price she pays.

From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Directors and officers of the Civic
Improvement league held meeting last
Tuesday evening at the home of the
president, Mrs g. M. Palmer. The chair
men of the various committees reported
progress in their different departments.
A number of suggestions were made in

for resting places and for Fairgrounds

pect that some of the worthy objects
will be attained.
The committee on trees is proposing to
send letters to those who have more trees
about their premises than are condu-
Give to health and beauty, requesting
that the undesirable ones be removed.
They are hoping to have all the cotton
wood trees cut town.
The committee appointed to see that
all the poles in the city were painted,
reported that the work was being done
by some of the companies.
The committee on literature report
ed that they had had printed one thou
sand pamphlets, setting forth the aims
of the league, for distribution to actual
and prospective members.
Various suggestions for work were
given to the appropriate committees. AT
ter the serving of refreshments, the
meeting adjourned.

SLEUTH HAS A CLEW.
Eloping Redwood Couple Supposed to
Be Near Fairm0nt.

A gentleman who represented him
self as detective, but declined to give
his name, was a caller at The Fairmont
Sentinel office Friday evening. He was
following up clue in sensational case
from Redwood county and was quite
sanguine of getting his man in this To-
cality as it is known that he either pass
ed through this section or is at present
employed in the county.
The sleuth has in view reward of
$3.50 offered for the apprehension of the
missing pair, though the warrant with
which he was provided calls for the ar
rest of the man only on charge of
horse stealing. Lohn Drotcher is the
fellow wanted and the circumstances
that make him and his companion fugi-
tives are briefly stated as follows:
On May 7th Drotcher quit work for
prominent Redwood county farmer and
on the same day the wife of the farmer
was supposed to 60 to visit friend
some miles from their home, taking with
her their six weeks old baby. Not re-
turning at the expected time investiga-
ton was made and it developed that she
had developed with the hired man, tax
ing the child and team of ponies be-
longing to the farmer They have been
traced quite successfully and will doubt
less be apprehended soon. They were not
supplied with money and the woman
took only such clothing as she wore. She
is said to be prepossessing in appear
ance, has happy home and kind and
loving husband. She deserted two child
rem aged five and three, and the only ex-
PLANTATION of her unnatural conduct is
that either drugs or hypnotism were en-
ployed by Drotcher in getting her to ac-
company him. Her husband is dis
traught over the matter and, and de-
tective said, would be willing to take
the erring wife back into his home if she
will return to him and their children
The detective requested that further
particulars of the clue be withheld at
this time as he felt reasonably certain
that he would have his man in day or
two and publicity might interfere with
his plans. He consulted The Sentinel
files for data which, if the pair is ap-
pretended, will be the direct cause of
their capture. Sentinel.

From fridays Daily.
Chief Donahue has received the fol-

asking about the James Barry whose
death from the bite of horse was re-
corded in dispatches from New York
June 18th.

Donahue, chief of police, Mankato,
MINI. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowl-
edge receipt of your inquiry requesting
description of James Barry, deceased
fireman of this department, and I am
of the opinion that this is not the man
for whom you are looking, for the rea-
son that he was appointed in this de-
partment in Nov. "a, 1897, dismissed
March IA, 1898, reinstated by order of
court Jan. 3, 1908, and during the time
intervening, while out of the depart
ment, was employed in Long Island
City. This information I have received
from other members of the department
who have resided nearby, and have seen
him almost daily during that time. Con-
sequently, he could not have been a
member of your department two years
ago. Yours very respectfully,
THOMAS LALLY,
Deputy Chief of Department.

From Fridays Daily.
A young man who drove DR.. F. U.
Davis of st. Clair to Mankato Wednes-
day evening to. take the train yester-
day for st. Paul, had little expert
ence. He had been up several nights,
driving for the doctor, and was sleepy,
and while waiting for a person whom
he was to take to st. Clair, in front of a
hotel, fell asleep in the buggy. The
horses started and went several blocks
and stopped. He was awakened between
one and two o'clock by man who lives
north of the city and who was well un-
der the influence of liquor. This man
climbed into the buggy and ordered the
young man to drive him home. This
the young man refused to do, and the
other man told him that he was a pri-
vate detective, and took the team to
Phillips & Stevensons' livery barn and
had it put up. The young man was not
satisfied and asked that the man accom-
pany him to the police station. This
he did, and the officers forced the drum
ken man to pay the livery bill and &C
home on penalty of being arrested.

When Judge Buck had his conversation
with The Free Press regarding the case
yesterday, he had no recollection of the
girl, and did not think that she had ever

however, caused him to remember lit

The Amboy Herald said that Van
SAINT has made an excellent governor,
but that paper accuses him of eating
the biggest apple raised in the state
last year and presented to him by
Thomas Randall of Amboy at the Maple
ton carnival in October. The apple was
raised by Burton Tyler of the township
of Shelby. The governor said that it
would be properly taken care of and
exhibited at the st. Louis fair, but none
of the visitors from here have seen it
there, so The Herald has come to the
conclusion that Van made square meal

THE STATEHOOD BILLS.

Not much has been said Of late in re-
gard to the granting of statehood to the
four territories-Ok Oklahoma, Arizona,
New Mexico and Indian Territory.
1t was announced at the opening of the
present congress that practically no
new legislation would be adopted, and
that these territories would have to
wait until after the presidential election
in order to have their rights to state
hood recognized. That now is admitted
to be the case even by Senator Quay,
who has been the senate leader in this
matter. We have always held that,
whatever might be said regarding the
expediency of granting statehood to
three of these territories, Oklahoma was
clearly entitled to this privilege. Both
as regards the number and the condi-
ton of her population, she can be favor
ably compared with several of the exist
ing states, and, were it not for the ques-
tfon Of politics, the privilege Of state
hood would have been granted to her
some time ago. 1t has been reported
that the house committee on territories,
which has recently closed its hearings
