He was born at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, in
1927. and after receiving a common
school education graduated from the
medical department of the Western Re
serve Medical college in 1854. Three
years later he moved to Holton, Kan,
and 1866 to Indianola. and few months
later to North Topeka. The Union Pa

When the war broke out he enlisted as
a surgeon with the Sixteenth Kansas
regiment and served in this capacity
until mustered out in 1860. AFTER the
close of the war he resumed the prac-
lice of medicine in North Topeka and
opened a drug store. With his wife he

conceived the idea of placing W1ld

band of Indians were gotten together
and the show was. placed on the road
and the first Wild West show started
on a tour of the east, the intention be-

The aggregation Travelled by train
and was unloaded just outside of the
city limits of the city where the show
was to be given and DR.. Ashmore pro-
ceeded and rented all the horses he
could obtain and took them to his In
dian camp. A few hours later the
mcunted Indians led by one of the
members of the Wild West show head

The performance consisted of a num-

AT THE MIDWINTER.
Nearly Three Thousand Visitors There
Last Night.

According to the estimate of General
Manager George WI Banter the attend
ance at Tuesday evenings NIidwinter ex-
position was close to the 5000 mark and
exceeded his fondest expectations. The
day had been dark and gloomy and the
evening atmosphere was filled with fine
mist and the streets and walks were a
loblolly of mud and Slush.
The vaudeville features were well re-
ceived by the crowd last night as the ap-
plause attested and the applause may
have had something to do with the espe-
cial efforts of the performers. The dis
plays are all in place and everything is
in shipshape and the indications are that
the venture will be as great a success as
have been previous expositions.
The musical feature of the programme
has made a great hit with the crowds and
the pipe organ selections by Professor w.
F. Roehr have been particularly we'll re-
ceiYed. There has been an abundance of
music at every performance and arrange
ments have been made for a continuation
of this feature. Two performances VIII
be given each day@ until the exposition
closes, excepting Sunday. Professor Roehr
will play WagneF's |Fannhauser'' over
ture for an opening selection this evening
on the pipe organ.
