That is what you can do if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone. Many people
know the danger of calotnel, yet they
take it because they know of nothing
better. Others people are not afraid OF
calomel, because they donot understand
what a dangerous drug it is, Because
it has never hurt them, they believe il
never will
No one needs to take dangerous cal
omel (Which is just another form o1
mercury.
L. A. de Montluzin Sons sell Dod-
sons Liver Tone for fifty cents bottle
and guarantee that it takes the place
of calomel.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting vegetable remedy that livens up
the liver without causing any restriction
of habit or diet. It has none of the
many bad after-effects OF calomel and
is safe for children as well as grown
ups.
You don't run a single risk when you
try Dodson's Liver Tone, because if
you aren't entirely satisfied all you need
to do is go right back to where you
bought it and have your money cheer
fully refunded to you with smile
Isn't that fair?

MILLIONS In THEIvERY.

High finance is on a climb. Unless q
sudden check is administered there is no
ceiling where it will end.
Aud present day high finance is nine-
senths thieYery.
The looting of the New Haven road,
which has called forth scathing de-
nunciation from the Interstate Com
merce commission, is but drop in the
bucket OF dishonesty land the bucket
is without a lid. And yet the New
Haven was plundered of S60, 200, 900 to
500, ,Oo0. 900.
When governments wink at high
finance thieves they deal body blow at
honesty, put a premium upon stealing
And our government for years has al
lowed these financial crooks to steal and
plunder under its very nose.
There may be no law under which
these pirates may be punished, but con-
gress has the power to make such laws
But if congress sits tight, looks wise
talks eloquently and does nothing, ther
congress By its suppineness and as
sinity becomes an accessory to ths
wholesale plundering Of millions d

ALFRED OLIVER IS
CHARGED WITH |.
( n. R. R. H0LD-UP
By Conductor Potter, Who
Saw divers Picture In
Rogue's Gallery and Iden :
titled Him as the Man Who
Held Up Friday Nights
Train and Shot to Death
the Flagman Chief Rey-
nold's of Same Opinion.

The general opinion prevails that Al
fred Oliver, with another pal "held up
train No. 80 of the Louisville & NASH
vile Co. last Friday night.
No one believes this more than Con-
ductor Potter, who saw Divers picture
at the rogue's gallery, New Orleans, and
Unidentified him as the man whe went
through the train and did the shooting.
Supt. Reynolds, of New Orleans,
whose family is spending the summer
here and who is frequent visitor,
has given it out that he cannot but be-
lieve that Oliver is the party and gives
various reasons for 80 believing Ac-
cordingly he is bending every effort in
the direction Of apprehending Oliver
and feels certain that in time he will
capture him.
Information reached Superintendent
Reynolds to the effect that Oliver was
in Alexandria, La, on July II, when
he disappeared. From pictures OF the
young bandit forwarded to the au-
thorities of that city, it was establish
ed that Oliver assumed a fictitious
name in Alexandria, where he worked
as a railroad sVitchman for the Louisi-
ana and Arkansas railroad,
The local superintendent is OF the
opinion that Oliver sought and Sc
cured the position with the railroad COM
pany in order to study the train crews
and to get an insight into what their
duties consist of, in order to facili-
tate him and secure himself against
any surprises when he was ready 10
spring his hold-up.
Every available plain clothes man
in the local department is engaged in
securing New Orleansin search Of Oliver
and his companion in the Friday night
hold-up. The cheap lodging houses
are the principal points that will be
touched by the searchers in an effort
to land their prize.
An important clew,r.in the mind OF
the local police head. is that secured
Saturday afternoon which relates to
the procedure invariably adopted by
Oliver in his efforts to escape detec-
tod by the law officers. Superintend-
ent Reynolds learned that Oliver in
variably carries with him an entire
cooking outfit and pitches his abode
in some remote part of the woods fol-
lowing one OF escapades, there to
live until the excitement following
one of his unlawful undertakings,
such as that of Friday night, dies out.
Several tips have been given the
officials concerning the whereabouts of
Oliver. Several of these have been run
down but without success.
There is determined intention on the
part of the authorities to apprehend
Oliver and it is possible he will be in
the clutches of the law before this will
have reached the press.
