Here is the plaintext …

Clarence and Richmond Examiner (Grafton, NSW : Tuesday 14 October 1902)

Alpine Glaciers Disappearing.

Hotel-keepers in the Alps have a new trouble and are complaining at the loss of patrons. The attractive glaciers are said to be actually passing from the landscape, and as they recede the hotels along their borders find their visitors becoming fewer. These glaciers are not running away, by any means, but they are deteriorating slowly, with a persistency that means their final annihilation. Hotels that a few years ago stood very near to a great river of slowly moving ice now find themselves a considerable distance away. The famous glaciers of the Rhone have shrunk several thousand feet in the last 20 years ; considerably more than 100ft a year. A number of the well-known glaciers are also shrinking at about the same rate, and the fact is established that these reminders of the great glacial period are certainly disappearing.

That was rotten ice.
It was the wind.
Clarence and Richmond Examiner is not a peer reviewed journal.
This does not match our models, the observation must be wrong.
This can be explained by valley rebound.

According to hotel-keepers in Scotland the glaciers there disappeared a while ago.

They were removed by time traveling sceptics from 2008 that wanted people to think glaciers are always changing so others would stop blaming AGW for the loss of glaciers at the end of the century!
