NO LONGER A MYSTERY
Ole Carlson of Hackley Died
From Natural Causes and
Not From Poison.

The Oneida county authorities
have decided to drop further in
vestlgation of the death of Ole
Carlson as it now develops that
the man died from natural causes
and not from poisoning as was
first suspected.
Acting under Instructions from
the sherlf's office Axel Lindergren
while at Hackley, last Friday,
made a thorough inquisition
into the affair and learned suf-
hcient facts to convince the offic-
ials in Rhinelander that there
was nothing to command suspic-
ion in regard o Carlson S demise.
The man has been employed by
the lumber company at Hackley
and while at work one day fell
off the top of a car. His injuries
at the time were not considered
of a serious nature but day or
two later he complained of not
feeling well, and drawing what
money he had due him from the
company, made preparations to
come to the hospital in this city.
Just before train time he suffered
an Ell e optic fit from which it
seems he never rallied. Frank
Wiezorek, the ban Der at Hackley,
volunteered to accompany the
sick man to Rhinelander and
place him in the hospital
Knowing nothing ofthe nature
of malady with which Carlson
was afflicted and owing to the
further fact that the circumstan-
ces under which the man was
brought to the hospital melted
suspicion, DR.. Packard who was
called on the case, refused to sign
the death certificate. This action
resulted in an investigation.
From information gathered by
Mr.. Lindergren from various
Hackley people it appears that
Carlson was an epeleptic from
childhood. This affection COM
hined with the injuries which he
probably received in the fall from
the car no doubt resulted in the
young mans death.
The chemists at Chicago to
whom Carlson's stomach was
sent for analysis wrote the
authorities that the examina-
ton would cost one hundred
dollars Fortunately they would
not perform the work until max
ing certain Of the money and the
county was thus saved from
another needless expenditure.

OBERLIN MILL REOPENED
Occasion Was One of Feasting and
Merry Making.

Oberlin, Kan, Nov. 12-Christmas
morning, 1908, the Oberlin grist mill
was destroyed by fire. Today a new.
more commodious, modern roller grist
mill has taken its place. The owner.
H. Q. Banta, thought it was fitting to
give his friends a general invitation to
visit the new plant and inspect it.
They came in good numbers. A few
days later he issued special invitations
to his customers from outside of
Oberlin to come and look through the
new mill. And they came, and they
were glad of the opportunity. The
burned mill had a capacity of rs
barrels of flour daily. while the new
plant can turn out 100 barrels of flour,
while the elevator capacity can han
die $4,000 bushels daily. The new
plant cost not less than $4,000.
In the last two years the trade of
the old mill has aggregated about
100000 annually: the new plant win
largely increase these figures.
The new business enterprise is a
credit to Oberlin and northwest Kan
sas. When it was in doubt whether
Mr.. Banta would rebuild the mill the
business men of the town as we'll as
his customers in other places, came
to him and while rendering him sym
pathy they offered him solid financial
aid
With such earnest feeling he rebuilt
his mill. A fine lunch was served his
friends at the mill, prepared by Mr..
and Mrs. Banta, at which talks were
made by number of outside guests.

them to the opera house to witness a
theatrical entertainment.

the use of the screw spikes which is
considered to be better in holding the
rail and will not work loose. This is
the first track of its kind in the con-

of the railroads will make use of it.
There will be one stretch of the track
composed of ties from the Hawaiian
Islands called Jap oak, which is SIM
liar to the English or white walnut.
This wood was used in making idols
and is known to have lasted for 800
years. These ties will not be treated

consisting of about 244 ties.
The holes in the ties for the spikes
are bored by machine and the spikes
screwed down by the machine. Only
