Pender, Neb., March Especial Z
The News: Up until this afternoon
no charge had been filed by Sheriff
Doreey against Olaf Olsen.
GO over the Farm Again.
This morning Sheriff Dorcey took
Olsen out to the farm for the purpose,
he said, Of going over the place with
Olsen.
According to the sheriff, his idea in
going after Olsen was simply to more
thoroughly investigate the matter.
The sheriff says that he has just come
into office and that he was not salts
fed with the investigation that had
been made before.
But people still insist that there is
some pretty definite clue behind the
sheriff's sudden and drastic action.

SUCH A PLANK WILL NOT APPEAR
IN DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
STATE CONVENTION is SLOW

Bryan Worked on Platform Nearly All
Night and a Part Of the Forenoon.
District Conventions Did Not Meet
Until After Noon.
Omaha March Especial to Tho
News: The democratic state conven-
ton is slow in getting together this
afternoon. The meeting was called at
the Auditorium at 2 o'clock, but at
that hour the congressional district
conventions which were expected to
meet this forenoon but didn't, had not
finished their deliberations, and the
result was that the main show was
not ready for business.
Before the convention was called
to order the state central committee
selected H. II. Hanks Of Otoe county
to act as temporary chairman.
A feature of the platform to be
adopted by the Nebraska democrats
today is the absence of an antiprohi-
bition plank. w. j. Bryan spent the
greater part Of last night and this fore
noon writing and revising the resolu-
tons which he presented to the con-
vention when it met this afternoon.
During the conference on the platform
with slate leaders, Bryan CURLY turned
down Representative Bowers, who
| asked for a plank declaring for per-
sonal liberty anti-prohibition.
The district conventions did not get
under way until after the noon hour,
and all delegates were not ready to
go into the state body when it met.
The populsts are holding their
usual fasco and will swallow the en-.
tire democratic action as soon as they
are informed what it is.

NYMAN REPORTS ON MILK
RESULT OF INVESTIGATION OR
DERED BY PRESIDENT.
CAUSE OF INFANTiLE MORTALITY
Federal Experts Lay Responsibility for
Epidemics of typhoid, Scarlet Feve,
and Diphtheria to impure Milk
Justifies Use Of Pasteurization,

Washington, March 5.-Surgeon
General Walter Wyman Of the public
health service submitted to Secretary
Cortelyou a report on milk In its rela
ton to public health" The report is
the result OF an investigation ordered
by President Roosevelt and conducted
by federal experts under the direction
of Professor M. j. Rosenau OF the
hygienic laboratory, In his introduce
experts, DR.. Wyman says: THE
steady decrease in mortality does not
apply to the infants. 1t is recognized
that gastrointestinal disease is the
largest single factor determining in
FAINT mortality. This enormous loss OF
potential wealth Is Of grave concern
to the state and worthy OF the most
careful consideration"
DR.. Wyman declares that the ideal
milk, drawn from cow with healthy
udder and preserved from contamina'
ton, is not the milk of commerce, and
he cities the fact that samples of mar.
ket milk in New York showed 35,200,
900 bacteria to the cubic centimetre,
London 31,SSS,00O and Washington
22,134,OO0. He calls attention to the
evidence presented in the report as
proof that 500 epidemics of typhoid
fever, scarlet fever and diphtheria
were caused by infected milk. DR..
Eager, he says, gives figures to prove
that the high iutantile mortality may
be attributed almost entirely to i'm
pure milk"
The surgeon general writes: "Dr.
Mohler points out that probably the
most important disease OF COWS from
the standpoint Of public health is tu'
hereulosis and that it is the most prev.
alent. He insists that all milk should
come from either tuberculosis tested
cattle or subjected to pasteuriZation,
The important work of pasteurization
has been carefully studied by DR.. Ros'
enau, who points out its advantages
and discusses its inconvenience. He
for twenty minutes as the best tenn
perature to use in pasteurizing milk,
as this degree of heat is sufficient to
destroy the pathogenic micro-organ'
ism without devitalizing the milk
itself. While pasteurization is not the
ideal to be sought, practically it is
forced upon us by present conditions.
1t prevents sickness and saves many
lives-facts which Justify its use UNI
der proper conditions. The destruc'
ton of infection in milk at the pres
emit time seems to be the cheapest and
most practical method to prevent the
spread Of typhoid infection in the
milk supplies of cities, In exceptional
instances, when dairy receives its
supply of milk from only one or two
farms over which a supervision may
be exercised, efforts to prevent the in
lection reaching the milk may be at
tempted. But for the general supply
of cities, pasteurization of the milk
after It has been placed in cans or
bottles for distribution Is the best
measure. Supplement this with an In.
telligent supervision over the depOts
and stores where milk is sold and
milk as a causative factor Of typhoid
fever in cities would be practically re-
moved"

MERRY FIGHT STILL ON
COUNTY SEAT CONTEST STILL ON
BEFORE COMMISSIONERS.
IN SESSION SEVERAL WEEKS
Towns of Herrick and Burke Battling
Over Names on Petitions for Re.
movaI-Fairfax is Ready to Enter
Game at Election Time.

Gergory, S. D., March Especial to
The News: A merry fight is now be-
ing waged by the towns of Herrick
and Burke before the board of COM
missioners of Gregory county, who
have been in session at Fairfax for
several weeks, for the purpose of de-
termining whether either of the towns
of Herrick or Burke has a majority
of the voters on its petition for the
removal of the county seat from Fair
fax. 1t is believed however that this
preliminary fight before the county
board is just an opener in the county
seat contest. If either Herrick or
Burke is placed upon the ballot it is
believed that the people of Fairfax
will put up a game fight to retain the
county seat, as they are said to be
firm believer in the Scriptural doct-
rine, ITO him that hath, etc" Thus
far Fairfax has made no direct move
in the contest, but it is we'll known
that they intend to put up a big fight
to win at the polls in November.

SHERIFF GETS OLSEN.
After Hard Drive, Nearly Killing
Horses, He Goes After Father.

AFTER Hard Drive, Nearly kIlIlnq
Horses, He Goes After Father.
Fender, Neb., March Especial to
The News: Olaf Olson, father Of the
missing little Lille Olsen, has been ar
rested by Sheriff Dorcey Of this coun-
ty. The arrest was made yesterday
and from the manner of the arrest 1t
was apparent that some serious charge
would probably be made against the
father. Up until o'clock this morn
ing no formal charge had been filed
against Olsen, but as he was in the
custody of Sheriff Dorcey, it was be-
lieved that a charge would be filed
today as 1t Is said that man can not
be held IN custody longer than twenty
four hours without charge.
Sheriff viii Not Talk.
Sheriff Dorcey will not discuss the
arrest. He will not give any sugges-
ton as to a possible clue upon which
he based his arrest of the father.
But some features of the case lead
to strong surmises.
Sheriff Visited Former Home.
Sheriff Dorcey visited the former
home of the Olsens at Rosalie on Tues
day afternoon. The Olsens have re-

Drove at Break-Neck Speed.
After his visit to the former Olsen
home at Resale, Dorcey did things.
possible he had the father in custody.
From the old Olsen farm, the sheriff
drove back to Fender at break-neck
speed, just in time to catch the train
which would take him to Olsen's pres
ent dwelling in Knox county.
The sheriff drove into Fender so
fast that his horses almost dropped
dead from their terrific fight under
the sheriff's whip.
That was Tuesday afternoon and
yesterday afternoon the father was
brought back to Fender in the officers
care.
Mystery Surrounds The Affair.
Utter mystery surrounded the affair.
What Sheriff Dorcey knew, he refused
to tell. That he knew something,
something definite and of importance
in the case, was apparent from his
trip to Olsen's abandoned farm, his
fast drive to town, his taking the first
train and making the arrest in silence
but with speed.
Ugly Rumors Afloat.
Ugly rumors were started afloat by
the arrest. Some said grave had
been discovered. Some went so far
as to say that the little girls body had
been found in the cellar under the
house. Many thought that the sheriff
remained silent for the sake of pre-
venting the mobbing of Olsen.
Little Girls Disappearance.
It was before Christmas that little
Lille Olsen suddenly disappeared.
Nobody ever knew what had become
of her
1t was one of the most mysterious
disappearance ever recorded in Ne
braska.
