But his rise to wealth and prominence was rapid, because he spent money with a lavish hand, his benefactions being large, and withal he died with a for­ tune of a quarter of a million dollars easily, his friends say.

J. Olson, will receive the entire for- \.Jkune of the deceased senator and well Wi-' * ~t, ""-•wiowii political leader and business \ j - man. By the terms of the will Mrs. * Olson is made sole legatee and execu- f;' j,', k-,; trix of the estate, which is believed to • « be worth almost if not more than 'jj-jnr '-W50.000. / " , By the petition that accompanied f* ^ tbe will and which were filed by V. S. l ^ ^ f Lumley, attorney in the Olson estate, the late senator's realty holdings are zfffi.'fflti ?^stimated at $80,000 and his personal property at $50,000. Attorney Lum­ ley, however, says that the estimate *> Is a rough one and admits the estate -z1' 3^1 .'i'/wM gr««tiy exceed the estimate.- The 'iw ill was executed five years ago and . was witnessed by V. S. Lumley and •fx Chas. T.

Aside from his / dairy business, which embraced the f"^';'«'^A. J. Olson company and on which a late financial report of R. G. Dun ThX" jplaces a rating of $132,000 above its if liabilities, the late senator had other V valuable holdings, among which is his ^arm partially within the corporate & limits of Woodstock, the 350 acres yfoeing worth not less than $200 an acre, or $70,000. He also was the owner of fifty-one shares of the cap­ ital stock of the McHenry County State bank; a stockholder in the La- , Salle Hotel in Chicago; the holder of $10,000 worth of stock of the Wood­ stock Typewriter company and other property interests in Chicago, as well as old line life insurance to the exr tent of $18,000. f Beyond this it is hard to go 'at *hi* time, Attorney Lumley told a Herald !< • , reporter oft Tuesday evening, because the books, papers and other valuable documents belonging to Mr. Olson were stolen from his business office in Chicago a short time before he died. In order to make a clean haul the burglars took the office safe with I what It contained and with The Republican rally, held at Stof­ fel's hall last Friday evening was largely attended, both by Republicans as well as Democrats. The meeting was called to order by Simon Stoffel and on motion duly seconded J. C. Holly was made chair­ man of the meeting. Mr. Holly first called upon the Oliver quartet of Woodstock, which responded with an enjoyable selec­ tion appropriate to the occasion. Geo. W. Conn was next called upon and responded with a very sensible talk along the lines of Americanism and preparedness and also touched upon the general issues of the campaign, Mr. Conn was followed by Atty. V. S. Lumley of Woodstock, who also went into the issues with a vim that is always characteristic with him. All in all, the meeting was a success and those who attended were well repaid for so doing. The male quartet favored the large audience with selections between speeches as well as at the close and we dare say that the music was en­ joyed by all. The meeting was con eluded with the serving of sandwiches and coffee. According to a Waukegan daily that city may be chosen as the site for the next fish hatchery to be op­ ened by the state.
