The campaign for the last seven weeks
has been practically all reciprocity for
or against, the agreement having been
present in all possible aspects.
The worst marked feature of the whole
campaign. however, has been the waving
of the old flag" This has been the con-
servative appeal in great part-that
reciprocity was but step toward an
neXation with the British empire. Dis
loyalty has been proclaimed from the
platform and preached from the press
In the appeal to the voters to defeat the
reciprocity agreement.
The liberals have met this by quoting
leaders from the days of Sir John A.
Mcdonald down as eager for reciprocity
with the United States. They also have
contended that between Henry Bourassa,
leader of the French nationalist party IN
Quebec, and the conservative leaders
there is a practical alliance. The nation
alists fight is chiefly made against
Laurier's policy of Canadian navy to
be at the disposal of Britain in case of
any empire war.
The liberals have sought to break the
conservative loyalty attack by stating
that King George is most anxious for the
peace arbitration treaty with the United
States.

Convict Kimmel to
Throw Light on Big
Omaha Bond Theft

AUBURN, n. y, Sept 19.-That it
would throw new light on the disappear
ance in 1895 of 100000 worth of bonds of
the Pacific Express company in Omaha
was the statement of George Kimmel, a
convict, who was released from Auburn
prison today. He refused to make any
further statement.
The New York Life Insurance company
is said to have spent $4,000 to locate Kim
mel, who claims to be George A. Kimme
OF Niles, Mich. formerly of Omaha. The
insurance company maintains that the
man is G. A Kimmel and has refused to
pay $4,000 life insurance to Edna Kimmol
Bonslett. sister of Kimme and benefi-
ciary of the policies.
Mrs. Bonslett and her mother, Stella
Kimmel, have denounced the convict as

ton as to whether the man released from

Kimmel disappeared he was cashier of

here on a business trip to Topeka He
was traced to Kansas City. where he

in 1895. when he disappeared, was head
Of the money order department. At that
time an auditor began an investigation
of Kimmels accounts and Kimmel sud
denly left the city.
The disappearance or kimmel caused
an investigation which revealed the alb
sence from the vaults Of 100000 of Pa
cific Express company's bonds. The com
pany searched several years for Kimmel
without result. No report of his ac-
UNITS in the money order department
