mediately a bulk station tank for
the storing and distribution of dis
tilate. Mr. Ward has made a success
of the oil business and will also make

The King Has Arrived
This time Tony King has been de
throned the real King has arrived
and' displaced Tony as ruler of his
own kingdom. The King came in the
form of a little son, born to Tony
King and the good wife. This is the
plain facts, but the real truth Is that
the coming of the little one has com
pletely overturned Tony's kingdom
and set up another for the little son
now rules the kingdom and all is
serene. There was no use fighting
against the inevitable. All are do
ing nicely.
Caught Some Fish
John Gakemeier and Lacey Mc
Donald were over to the Platte river

being rewarded with three very fine
table fish. There is no law against
catching whale or sword fish, but
they were not either of these. Well,
there is a law against catching trout.
50 we will not call them by that
name, but sure they were very fine
fish, and they were invited to call
again.
Restoring the Wrecks
Henry Jacobson is getting a very

goodly number of wrecks, putting

been released from quarantine, as
they were quarantined out, not in.

who had the scarlet fever, they only
having to remain away from the pub
lio until the time for which they were
liable to take the disease had expir
ed and the time now being over.
They have been making their home
!n the cob house and away from con
fact with the people who had the
fever.
Some Mountains of the Bible
I ARRARAT
Sixteen centuries had passed and
men had grown worse, since Adam's
fall. There seemed no way to stop
his downward course. God, looking
down on the scene, had to acknow
ledge that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth. He found
only one family that met his appro
bation, Noah's, of whom it was said:
"Noah was a just man. and perfect
in his generations, and Noah walk
ed with God."
God instructed this man to build
an ark and while building to preach
repentence to his generation, but It
seems with no success. But God had
sjiven them warning of the coming
catastrophy. At last the time was
up; Noah and his family entered the
ark, God shut the door, and the flood
came. Noah remained in the ark
the greater part of one year, when
finally the ark rested on Mount
Arrarat.
From this place, 16,000 feet high,
the center of the then known world,
a new start was made to populate the
world. A covenant was entered into
between God and man, the seal of
which It the bow in the cloud.
God has kept his part of the
agreement. From this mountain has
jone forth the promise of God:
"While the earth remaineth.
sped time and harvest, and cold
and heat, and summer and win
ter and day and night shall not
cease."
We can trust God. "Be not dis
mayed whatever, betide God will
take care of you!"

flw Men Under Arrest in Falls City
Probe, ta Attempted Dynamiting
. . - o Delalr Home.
Falli City. Neb.. March II. Sher.
19 Lewla paries left here tonight
to seek return to Falls City ot Paul
Rother, 2, a St. Joseph waiter, ar
rested Friday as a suspect In the at
tempted dynamiting of the home ot
former Police Chief DeLeir here.
Meanwhile Je3 Thompson, 20, who
served a jail term for a liquor law
violation about a year ago, is held
in Jail here or investigation in con
nection with the same case.
Rother denied any connection with
the dynamite attempt, according to
dispatches from St Joseph, and said
he would fight extradition. He was
arrested about noon, and was identi
fied by William Ellinger, manager of
a St. Joseph sporting goods store, as
the purchaser of 18 sticks of dyna
mite on March 13, the day on which
the explosive package was. found near
the DeLair home here.
Says Blasted for Fish.
The dynamite had failed when the
four-foot fuse attached to It sput
tered out In the high wind, and the
package was found by members of the
family a short time later.
Rother admitted purchasing dyna
mite on March 7 and again on March
17, saying he bought six sticks on
each occasion, and that he had used
it to blast for fish. Ke denied any
purchase on March 13.
Mr. Ellinger said that the purchase
of 18 sticks was made at 5:45 p. m.
March 13. and that his cash register
Bhows the exact amount of the pur
chase as the first item on March 14,
as he had already made the checkup
of cash for March 13 at the time of
the purchase. He declared he was
positive of his identification.
"Higher Up" Sought.
Thompson, arrested here today,
was asked if he knew Rother. He an
swered that he knew a fellow at St,
Joseph that is commonly called
"Pauley" who answers the description
of Rother.
Sheriff Daviet said that "Pauley"
Is a, nickname applied to Rother at
St. Joseph.
Officers here believe that some man
hot yet in custody was the man who
planned the dynamite attempt,
though pointing out that one can
drive from St. Joseph to Falls City
in leas tha ntwo hours, and it was
more than two hours after the dyna
mite purchase at St. Joseph before
the explosive was found here.
The investigation is proceeding on
the theory that the . blast attempt
was theoutcome of an old-time
grudge against DeLair by someone
not now living In Falls City.
Sheriff Davies received requisition
papers for Rother this evening, and
left at 8:30 p. m, for Jefferson City,
to ask Governor Caulfield of Missouri
to honor the requisition request. He
hopes to be able to bring Rother here
