MARIETTA TEALL-OLIN PASSES
AWAY AFTER SPLENDID CAREER.
Soldiers Home Was Procured for Mil

forts and Life Is Exemplary.

RACINE, Wis, Oct. 1871 Special. i
Marietta Teall-Olin, widow of the late
Daniel A. DIN, one of the former promi-
nent railroad superintendent of Wis
consin, died Monday night at her home
in this city at the age of 81 years.
Mrs. Olin in her earlier days was one
of the most prominent and remarkable
women in the state. She was born Feb
ruary 5, 1926, in st. Lawrence county,
n Y, and was married to Ohm in
1864. For many years she was mem
Der of the trustees Of the Iaylor's Or
phan asylum and she served as mem
Der of the board of managers of the
Wisconsin Industrial School for Girls
from it's inception.
During the War of the Rebellion, she
with a number of leading women OF
Milwaukee, united their efforts to fur
nish a home for the care of the sick
and disabled who were sent back from
the front and she was made treasurer.
She appeared before the state Legisla-
ture at that time and secured an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for this pur-
pOse
In 1865, these women and Mrs. DIN
held fair to raise money which would
go towards the establishment of per
manent home for disabled soldiers. She
and others canvassed the state and
raised $4,000. When Congress decided
to establish a national soldiers home in
Milwaukee, the above money was given
for that purpose provided the home
should be located in Milwaukee.
Mrs. Olin moved to Racine IN 1868,
and was at the head of all literary and
charitable institutions here for years.
She is survived by one stepdaughter,
Mrs. William Storey of Colorado.

If the Democrats expect to avert
such danger to them they must not
carry their acrimony to each other
over the prohibition question too
far.
That issue has been settled once
for all. 1t is closed incident. 1t
must be recognized that prohibi-
tion has come to stay. No matter
how lax the enforcement of the
law, it will always remain on the
statute books. The prohibition
question, therefore, has been elm
mated from politics.
Other measures may furnish the
basis of contention if there is to
be split in the party, but there
is no other question that is of suf-
ficient moment to furnish the oc
.casion for permanent division in
the party ranks.
The future fights within the
party are more apt, therefore, to
ibe over men than over measures.
Governor Patterson is likely to
continue to be the fire brand of the
organization.
There is deep seated, wide
spread determination to crush his
machine at all hazards, and the
prospects'of carrying,out that pur-
pose seems to be excellent.
A change in the primary laws
and election laws will 'be the first
step toward that end, aud for this
reason the movement to secure the
passage of these laws will possess
more Significance than will appear
ON their face. From whatever
standpoint Of view you look at it,
the situation is pregnant with Pc
culiar interest.
