STRANGE CASE GF GEORGE A.
KIMMfL IN WHICH >N 1NSUR-*
ANCE CO. IS RESISTING PAYr
ING DEATH PREMIUM. «
(By Associated Press.V
St. Louis, Mo., Feb; 1.—Attorneys
for both sides are bus^ at work prg-
paring for the trial of .the famous
Kimmel case, which is set to b4gin in
the United States oouft hi this city
next Tuesday. The trial 'is expected
to attract' wide attention on account
of the many strange features that the
case presents.
The case to be tried is thex shit
brought by the reciver of the Farm-
ers’ State Bank of Arkansas Cits,
Kan., against a New York insurance
company to recover the amount' of
an insurance policy* held by George,
A. Kimmel, who was cashier of'the
bank at the time of his mysterioqs
disappearance 'in 1898 and was
heavily indebted to the institution.
The whole case hinges on the quest
tion of whether Kimmel is living or
dead. This will be the third' time that
the suit has been tried. At the first
trial a verdict for $8000 was returned
in favor of the plaintiff, but it was re-
versed by the court of Appeals. On
the second trial the jury disagreA.
The insurance company claims a
man known as Andrew J. White is in
reality the missing Kimmel. * When
first discovered this man was serving
a term at the Matteawan asylum ,for
the criminal insane. At that time
he gave a number of startling facts
about himself purporting to • prove
that he was Kimmel and upon his re-
lease from prison a year or soipgo
he went to Niles, Mich., where Kitn-
mel was born and raised and endeav-
ored to establish his identity as the
missing man. Many i old-time refi-
dents of Niles declared that the man
was the George A. Kimmel whom
they had, known intimately. On the
other hand, Mrs. Julia S. Kimmel, the
mother, and Mrs. Edna K. Bonslett,
the sister, after studying the ex-con-
vict carefully, denounced the man as
an imposter.
At the approaching triaj the attor-
neys for the receiver of. the Arkansas
City bank will seek toj disprove the
claim oU the insurance company that
White and Kimmel are one and the
same man by the testimony of wit-
nesses who knew Kimmel and by the
statement of John Boone Swinney, a
New Mexico ranchman, who declares
he saw Kimmel killed in an Oregon
forest August 14, 1898, which was a
few weeks after he disappeared from
a hotel in Kansas City.
In every department we arc making ex remedy low prices-in order to make room for
the mammothT^pring Stock ihow being bought by Mr. IX M. Bodges in New. York.

Boston Honors
New Qardina!
(By Union Press Association.)
Boston, Mass.. Feb. 1.—A wjeek of
celebration in -honor of* the jiome-
coming of Cardinal ‘D ConneU, the
first New England prelate ever ele-,
vated to membership in the .Sacred <
College, was ushered in today wjth
a solemn mass of thanksgiving in-
the cathedral of the Holy Cross. Had
the cathedral been as specious ht St.
Peter's in Rome it could not have ac-
commodated the thousands of the
faithful who sought admittance to the
ceremony. • Long before the doors of
the edifice were opened the adjacent
streets were thronged with -ticket-
holders. All of the women attending
the function were gowned in black
and wore black mantillas, the costume
that is worn at all pontifical court
functions In Rome.
Within the altar rail accommoda-
tions were reserved for the visiting
prelates and priests who came from’
all parts of New England Bisjhojjf
Nilan of Hartford officiated at the,
mass, assisted by a fftmiMr cff well
known eceleslasts. Rt. Rev. Joseph
G. Anderson, auxiliary bishop of Bos-'
ton, delivered the address of welcome.
Next week two great banquets are to
be given in honor of the hew card.rial,
one by the priests of the diocese and
the other by the laity.

Too much fat is both : uncomfort-

This seif-sacrifice of • cbmfort and
health to overabundant fat is entirely
unnecessary, ^however, as Mrs. Lnella

that is far superior in every* way to
any thing money will buy for reducing
superfluous flesh. It is said this simple
mixture will take the fat- off of man

couple of pounds a week without even
.causing wrinkles. Moreover, it does
not disturb the stomach, but is a good ;
thing for the system, clearing an?y
pimples, and, best of all, it does not
interfere with the diet. You can usd
it and at same time eat whatever
you like. Tffis recipe is as follows: 1-2
