A STATEMENT
Reply to Reports Concerning Treat
ment of Patient mt Calmar by
o. G. Olson.

The findings of the Coroner's Jury
in the case of Ambrosia Madison
having been published and comment.
ed upon, l now feel it my duty in
justice to the public and to myself
to make the following statements
which are the facts, all prejudice and
and unfriendly representations OF
matter TO the contrary notwithstand.
| ing.
The deceased, a niece of my house
keeper, Mrs. Rasmussen, came to nv
home on or about the 25th day OF
July, 1918, and remained there from
that time until the time of her
death. When she came to my home
she had neither money or price with
which TO procure the necessities and
attendance which her enfeebled con-
dition demanded. l received no
compensation Whatever from her
during her stay at my home, nor at
any other time, neither did / expect
any. At the time of her death she
was nearly II years of age, was of
abnormal development, the functions
of digestion and nutrition impaired
and she was undoubtedly a victim
of consumption. She came to my
home at the advise and consent of
both parents and during her stay,
and while being visited by her par
ents, they expressed themselves as
being very grateful to me for atten-
ton and interest shown both to
Ambrosia and themselves. During
this time her father, Christian Mad
son, was at my home for six weeks,
from the middle of February to the
last of March, 1913, and the mother
was at my home and with Ambrosia
the last six days preceding her
death and knew that Ambrosia had
all that she wished to eat. The re-
port that she died of starvation calls
for vigorous denial. / can say
without fear of successful contradic-
ton that she received at all times
during her stay at my home all the
necessary and proper food that she
wished. 1t is indeed highly improb-
able that my housekeeper, who is
her aunt and who was always solicit
tus of her needs and welfare, would
deny her the proper nourishment and
attention.
In this class of cases impaired di-
gestion, ABSORPTION and assimilation
result in lack OF nourishment, and
emaciation follows. We cannot be-
lieve that the Coroner's jury, ii
rightly informed on these matters,
could have meant the term ''starva-
ton" in its usually accepted mean
ing.
The fact that the jury found tn
berculosis as one of the causes of
DEATH indicates a purpose on the
part of some one to discredit me by
adding starvation to cause which
would-be sufficient in itself to eX-
plain the death of Miss Madison.
1t is suggestive too that neither
Mrs. Rasmussen nor myself was call
ed upon to furnish explanation to

Lad Crushed BY Wagon.

Ida Grove, Iowa, Sept. 15.-The
five-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs
A. S. Jacobson, who recently moved
to this place, seems to be followed
by trail of i'll luck since the family
came to this community. A few
weeks ago the boy lost the sight OF
an eye, by having a playmate jerk
a fish hook through the eyeball while
they were fishing in a small creek
near the family home. Yesterday
he climbed upon a load of coal driv-
en- by A. A. Rousch, a farmer. Des-
pite the warnings of the latter not
to attempt to get off until they had
reached the lads home, he dropped
on the side and fell under the rear
wheels. The wagon contained over
a ton of coal and passed over the
boys breast, crushing several ribs.
There is little hope for his recov-
cry.

Dear Sir
My attention has been called by
friend to the enclosed clipping ia
ken from the Elma New Era and by
them taken from your paper.
wish TO emphatically announce
to your readers that / am not dead
but very much alive. | am compar-
atively young man, only II, and
why my friends should be notified
through the press every little while
that / am dead / can't understand.
A year ago a hobbled PAGER fell
with me at Elma. / was in the lead
and the whole field came along and
trampled over me. / was quite bad
ly hurt, but only for an hour or so.
The report went out that | had been
killed. The next day the American
express wagon drove up to my resi-
dence. Expecting a package | walk
ed out to the curb as they drove up.
Imagine my surprise when the pack
age proved to be flowers from
Charles City friends for my funeral.
That afternoon a call came from
Austin, Mimi. l being the only
member of the family present at the
time answered it. 1t was from my
old friend, Will Hinman, wanting
to know when the funeral was to be
held as lot of the boys were coming
down. / told him l was sorry to
disappoint them but the funeral had
been postponed indefinitely. / have
lot of friends in and around Wau-
kon and wish them to know that
am alive and still in the game.
have the best lot of horses / have
ever had, among them a two-year-
old by Arion (2:07 3-4) that can fly
at the trot and filly three months
old by Dan Patch 1:55) entered in
futurities to come off in 1916. | am
going to win some of these and be-
lieve / am good for at least twenty
years yet. Yours very truly,
j. c.. KATHAN.

foods that she received at Mr.. OF.
sens home was to my personal
knowledge the best that could be
furnished and the mother acknowl-
edged this to be true. She was al
all times generously supplied with
such nourishing food as she might
wish to take.
1t is very significant that neither
of the parents made complaint un-
til the time of her death and after
they had talkel with strangers which
makes the case appear one where
others are interfersing to attempt to
do Mr.. Olsen an injury for some ul-
tgrior purpose. Letters written
since by Madison, both to Mr. Olsen
and myself, show a Matchmaking
purpose directed by some one.
Blackmailing, that is, 1.-The attempt
to eXtort money by threats or the
alienation, that is criminal prose

/ wish to add my own to Mr.. Oh
sens statement in regard to the
death of my niece, Ambrosia Mad
son, as l have been Mr. Olse1 S
housekeeper for four years and was
present during all the time that my
neice remained at his home. | know
positively that she came with the
consent and express wishes of both
parents; that she was sick when she
came and was not in the home to do
house work. AS she was in very
feeble health she was permitted emily
such exercise as seemed necessary
for her. AS it happened, Mr.. Olsen
and myself went up to Spring Valley,
the home of the parents of the de-
ceased, to adjust some matters of
business. When we were about to
leave the mother of the deceased,
who is my sister, requested us to al
low her daughter to come to CalInar
with us for an indefinite stay in the
hopes that her health might be bCr-
Gifted thereby. Mr.. Olson consented
to this and the daughter accompan-
led us to Calmar. This pleased both
parents as they felt her health
would be improved during her stay
and they very freely expressed
themselves to this effect Both the
father and the mother came down to
Calmar and stayed at Mr.. Olsen s
home while their daughter was
there. The father having stayed
there for six successive weeks and
was very well pleased and satisfied
as regards himself and his daugh-
ter. The mother was with her
constantly the last six days that she
was alive.
Out of courtesy to me, the Madison
family being relatives of mine, Mr..
Olsen never received or expected to
receive any remuneration from
them. And considering the many
courtesies, and kindness and bene-
fits that they have received at Mr..
Olsens home, it is very painful and
humiliating to me to find that they
are now willing to misrepresent and
diStort this matter with what ap-
pears to me to be purpose of pro-
fitting thereby themselves and at the
same time assisting others TO unuer-
rate Mr.. Olsen and his interests in
the minds of the public.
| know that the parents of the de-
ceased are full cousins and that
three children born to them have died
before. l also know that the de-
ceased had been sickly from birth.

Getting Rich on Prohibition.

All traditions of the past to the
effect that dabbling in the prohibi-
ton propaganda is necessarily an
Improbable business have been
smashed by the record of ex-Mayor
Jones of Perry who runs a prohibi-
ton paper and carries on a side line
OF conducting prohibition chautau-
qua assemblies, and is getting rich
at 1t. He has just closed the season
and reports having conducted 1913
assemblies, having at times Is COM
plete crews out and employing over
100 persons in the temperance work.
Next year he expects to have a force
capable of holding 26 assemblies
simultaneously.
