The fore part Of the week it was
discovered that the work horses be-
longing to Daniel Morgan had been
horribly mutilated by the insertion of
something into the body that tore the
internal organs and lacerated the in

feet of making two Of the three horses
bleed to death. A COW and horse be-

st. Louis. Feb. S.-Outlining to the
kiinmel jury the first efforts to estab-
lish the identity of the present claim
ant as the missing George A. Kinlmel
Attorney Frederick Bacon said:
This reveals a plot. There will be
much said in this trial about plots"
Bacon, attorney for the receiver OF
the Niles. Mich. bank, which is suing
an insurance company for Ktmmers in
surance, referred to Andrew J. White
the former New York convict, who the
defense contends is Kimmel, as the
Claimant
White, according to Bacon's state
nent TO the jury, was first discovered
June %. 1899, eleven months after Kim
mel disappeared in Kansas City. Bacon
called the Jurors attentions to the fact
that Kimnlel at that time would have
been 80 years old and White had stated
to the prison authorities he was SO.
The claimant had blue eyes and KIM
mel had dark brown eyes, according
to the attorney.
Differences in the teeth. weight.
height and marks on the body were
also called 10 the jury's attention. The
trip of White to Niles, Mich, after his
release from prison last September was
narrated. Bacon said White did not
recognize any Of kimmel's boyhood
acquaintance.
Edward O'Bryan, of counsel for the
in surance company, then outlined his
side OF the case and what he expected
to prove. His preliminary statement
agreed in respect to kimmels early
history with that already made TO the
jury by the plaintiffs attorney.
Attorney Hunt, a former Omaha
neighbor of kimmel, was named as a
new and highly important witness by
O'Bryan. Hunt, he said, would be used
as witness for the plaintiff.

H \. R.: To wlliten and beautify the
complexion you will find nothing bet
ter than simple, Inexpensive lotion
made by dissolving 4 ounces spurmax
in y pint witch hazel Cor hot water)
then adding Q teaspoonfuls glycerine.
This lotion will freshen up and i'm
prove any complexion without giving
that artificial powdered look. 1t does
not clog the skin pores like powder and
lasts much better. It gives to the skin
smooth, veivety tone and takes away
that shiny, sallow look. For treating
freckles and skin discolorations gen
eraly, spurrnax lotion is very fine.
D. L.: To quickly get rid Of that sal
low, pimpIy look on your face, you
should take a good system tonic 70
remove the impurities from your blood
which come from lack Of exercise and
eating too much solid food in the WIN
ter. A good, old-fashioned tonic can be
made by dissolving an ounce OF kar-
dene in Il pint alcohol, then adding n :
cup sugar and hot water to make
quart. Take tablespoonful before
meals and you will be surprised now
quickly the look Of perfect health Will

tonic is very soothing and strengthen
ing. and will make your eyes strong,
clear and sparkling. I find It unequaieo
as a, tonic for treating weak, unnamed
expressionless eyes.
Reader: There Is one remedy ABOVE
all others that I take pleasure IN rec
ommending for fat reduction. 1t Il
harmless and so very effective IN re-
gaining a sha oely figure. Just dissolve
ounces Of parnotis in II pints not
