naturally forbidden nature OF the
country and the homsickness Of the
colonists caused the failure. Today
but two families remain, whose an
cestors were among the colonists,
Henry Olson and Henry Anderson,
both prosperous farmers in the little
valley.
1t matters little that instead of 800
colonists only $50 actually came, and
that instead Of 125.000 acres only H.
900 were actually purchased by Ole
Bull.
Unfortunately for Oleana, at the
height of it's seeming posperity. it was
discovered that the Philadelphians
who had sold Ole Bull the land owned
none of the great tract. The collapse
of this American Norway was, OF
course, instantaneous. Today only a
few crumbliEg walls remain to tell
the story of Ole Bulls benign but van
ished dream.
Two persons known to Madisonians
belonged in the Oleana colony, one
being C. F. Slberg, now past 80 and
living in Milwaukee. He was editor
of the Emigranten, published at Madi-

years after. The other was b. W.

ROMANCE OF
Ole BULL And
HIS OLEANA
Pennsylvania Pilgrimage Recalls
Grea Violinist And His Marriage
to Madison Girl

Many Norwegians in Sank county,
no less than musicians everywhere,
must be greatly interested in story
appearing in The Madison Democrat,
and written by o. d. Brandenburg. 1t
is about Ole Bull, world famous vio-
linist some years ago. 1t runs thus.
"The Pennsylvania historical COM
mission and the Potter county his
torical society held their July meet
ing at the ruins of Ole Bull castle
near Oleanas Potter county, Pa,
July 30, an incident recalling the
romantic relationship Of ole Bull to
Madison. The famous Norwegian
internationally for some eleven years
made Madison his home, having mar
ried Miss Sara Thorpe whose father,
a retired Eau Claire lumberman, own
ed the place which now is the ex-
ecutive residence.
This marriage occurred in 1870
and the ceremony was performed
in the Thorpe home by Rev. c. II.
Richards, Congregationalist. Ole Bull
was then So, his bride only 10. 1t was
not a happy union, and the Bulls lived
apart at times afterward. The two
became engaged while Mrs. Thorpe
and her daughter were guests in Ole
Bulls home at Bergen, Norway and
they returned to America together,
the wedding taking place as soon as
possible.
MT. Bull was widower with a
son and daughter. The former,
Alexander, became a well-known VIC
linist, often appearing in concerts in
this country, with Mrs. Sara Page of
Baraboo as vocalist. He died few
years ago. His sister, Mrs. Felice In
gier, lives in Christiana. Norway.
Soon daughter, Olea, was born
to Ole Bull and his young wife. In due
time Olea married q Bostonian and
had one child, but all three--Ole
Bulls wife, daughter and grand
child are dead, the wife dying some
eight years ago. She had turned
theosophist and left practically all
her fortune to the cult, but the will
was annulled, the courts holding the
testatrix not of sound mind.
Ole Bull died at Bergen, his birth
place, in 1880, at the age Of TO-.
Part of the time while James Russell
Lowell was ambassador to England
his home in Cambridge was occupied
by the Bulls and the Thorpes.
Joseph G. Thorpe, brother of Mrs.
Bull, and Harvard man we'll known
by Mr.. Brandenburg married daugh-
ter of Longfellow, the poet, and re-
sides at Cambridge, Mass, next to the
old Longfellow homestead which was
Gen. Washingtons headquarters for
a time during the revolutionary war

The Pennsylvania ruins are the

established, and to settle which he
induced a shipload of his Scandinav-
ian countrymen to come to America.
Ole Bull sank $4,000 in the enter
prise building a castle to be his home
as the patriarch of the place.
The colony was established at the
headwaters of Kettle creek in 1852.
Four small villages were laid out

DIAMOND STOLEN LAST
WEEK. IG RECOVERED


Earl Ryan of Irwin was robbed on
Great Western dining car last
week, at Council Bluffs, bound for
his home. He Immediately went to
the dining car to get something to
eat and while sitting there noticed
negro porter enter. He supposed
it was the dining car waiter and paid
no further attention to him. The
negro struck Mr. Ryan over the head
rendering him unconscious. When
he was discovered few moments
later by trainmen he was minus a
$4,000 diamond and some money.
The negro had gotten off the train in
the Council Bluffs yards and has not
been apprehended. Mr.. Ryan is
well known to Audubon county peo-
pie. He is member of the firm of
Escher & Ryan, pure bred Aberdeen
Angus cattle raisers.

TO CORRECT INSERTING

Sometimes misfiring OF your en-
CINE may not be due to faulty
spark plug, leaky valve or broken
piston rings. If your intake mani
fold is struck by cold air, that will
cause the misfring as will the more
obvious causes. In this case No. 2
cylinder will be the one at fault, be-
cause the cold air will chill the front
side of the intake manifold at the
first branch, thus eondensing the
mixture and carrying the liquid into
the combustion chamber of No. 2.
To correct this, cut out piece Of
old tin can large enough to cover the
front branch of the intake manifold.
Punch hole through the tin, re-
move the first manifold clap, slip the
tin over thes tud, bend it around so
as to protect the manifold from the
cold air coming from the fan and
keep it warm with air from the ex-
haust manifold, and tighten the
clamp.

CAMP TO BE POPULAR

Public spirited men everywhere
are showing keen interest in the
welfare Of Camp Roosevelt, the big
military eantonment for boys, which
opens for the summer of 1920 on the
Fourth of July at Muskegon, Mich.
The headquarters of the Camp
Roosevelt association in Chicago
daily receive many letters from big
men in all parts of the United
States pledging their support and CO.
operation in the patriotic work of
giving the high school boys a course
in military training, in the absence
of an adequate universal military
training program by the United
States. Their financial support is
also necessary for the nominal fee
asked of each cadet in no wise COW
ers his expense.
A campaign for this support is
now being carried on in the middle
west under the direction of Capt. F.
l.. BeaB, camp commandant at the
head of the department of physical
education of the Chicago schools.
and Capt. ]. p. Murrish, secretary.

DEMOCRATS GETTING BUSY

Since the Republicans of Audi

for candidates ia fill their ticket
this year, and some having an
nounced themselves for the different
places. the Democrats have ev-
identity not been laying on their
oars, if reports are true.
The Republican last week an
nounced two candidates for fheriff
on the Republican ticket. Since
that time there are those OF the
democratic persuasion who have let
it be known that they may throw
their hats in the ring for the demo
cratic nomination. The names
most prominently mentioned for
this office are Charles Sunberg, H.
]. Savage and Alex Ferguson. No
nomination papers have yet been
circulated, but at least two of the
above named gentlemen are con-
templating the step. Mr.. Savage
has been one of the wheel horses OF
the party and would be a strong
candidate. His friends are Of the
opinion that he is entitled to the
nomination and if he finally decides
to become an active candidate he
will have strong support.
The name of t. M. Rasmussen OF
Extra, county attorney at the pres
ent time, is prominently connected
with the office Of representative. Mr..
Rasmussen is a man of ability and
would have strong following in
all parts of the county We under
stand he is considering the matter.

In addition to contributions by in

are being asked to send recruits
whose tuition will be paid by the
members. Many keen, alert young
American boys are anxious to enroll
in Camp Roosevelt, but are unable
to meet even the small sum asked by
the authorities. Railway fare is
also an important expense to the
embyro soldier. Last year, boys at
tended the camp from over 80
states.

boy who is anxious to catch up or
forge ahead in his school work, is
under the direction Of the Chicago
Board Of Education and picked
teachers from the system have
charge of the courses. The cadets
live under canvas; in addition to the
military training and school classes
