of the Soldiers Home Years Ago.

Leavenworth, Kas., March 20.-Joseph
Oliver. once of Leavenworth and the
Soldiers home, will be released from
the federal penitentiary at Fort Leay-
enworth this week. Oliver was sent
to the penitentiary to serve a seven
years term for trying to kill Governor

dynamite cartridge. He will be re-
leased before the end of his term on
account of good conduct. Oliver had
some ability as a story writer and pre-
pared several tales about Leavenworth
hotels and the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe cut south of the city. On one
occasion when street railway con-
ductor refused to allow him to ride for
nothing, he shot at the conductor twice
and almost killed him.
oliver made trouble at the National
Soldiers home and was expelled by
Governor Smith. A short time after
wards he went to Atchison and pur-
chased quantity of dynamite which
he placed under a window where he
supposed Governor Smith was Sleep
ing. The explosive was touched off
with fuse. The building was wrecked
and those in it had narrow escape
from death. Oliver was tried in the
United States circuit court. Judge
Riner of Wyoming ruled that dynamite
was deadly weapon. In sentencing
Oliver, Judge Riner stated that he was
sorry the law did not permit him to
send him to the penitentiary for more
than seven years.

Emporia Will Be Short of Ice
This Year.
At Least Two Big Houses Have
Been Removed.
is LITTLE RIVER ICE.
X. G.. Beer Plant Will Ship Pro
ducts Away.
Expect Prices to Be Up at the
Top Notch.

Emporia, Kas., March 20.-The two
rivers near Emporia bore a better crop
of ice last winter than they have for
five years, but regardless of that fact
Emporia has no special cause to think
that ice will be retailed at give-away
prices next summer. The ice dealers
who put up ice this winter took all they
could carry, but due to several changes
among the ice dealers the town has
not now enough ice in store to last
through the summer.
A dealer who has been in the ice
business here for a number of years
said Emporia will be 1000 tons short
next summer The reason is that one
of the Randolph and the Sprague ice
houses have been removed and the one
formerly owned by Metchley & Camp
bell has been cut down to one room.
The ice plant now owned by Bush of the
big Anheuser-Bush beer firm of Kan
sas City, Mo, can put out about eight
tons of ice a day. 1t is thought that
Bush will use the output of the plant
to ice" his refrigerator cars only and
that Emporia will not have the priv
ilege of using much artificial ice from
the ice plant next summer. In the
meantime, however, Emporia will keep
COOL for it will not cut any ice to
worry as to how high condensed water

his honors gravely and bowed with
much dignity at every cheer for the

Compound, the greatest of vitalizers

should be positive proof that it is the
right medicine for all who look for

1t is of the greatest Importance that

many vile limitations. If you are offered

leave his store and go to some honest

ask for. Examine wrapper and bottle
and see that the name PAINES is on
each; no other is genuine.
