At HOME
Witness Tells of Seeing Claim
ant at Mothers Residence.
White Tells What Window He
Was Beside.

st. Louis, Feb 22=In deposit
ton read to the jury in the kimmel
case today. Arson F. Byther, a paper
manufacturer of Niles, Mich, testified
that he saw George A. Kimmel at his
mothers home in Niles twice after the
time kimmel is said to have disap-
peared in 1898. He said he was alb
solutely sure that the claimant is
George A. kimmel.
Byther deposed that he had known
George A. Kimmel many years, hav-
ing been depositor in the First Ma
tional bank of Niles, of which Kimmel
was a teller. He saw the claimant in
Niles last September and asserts he
is absolutely sure the man is Kim
mel. The bank to which he referred
is the one involved in the present liti-
cation.
Not Sure About Dates.
Byther said his home adjoins that
of the mother of George A. Kimmel.
At first he fixed the time when he
said he saw Kimmel there as three
four or five years after the mans
disappearance in 1898.
Then he said it was some time either
in 1903 or 1904.
One night within that time he said
he saw Kimmel looking into window
Of his mothers home, but that the
man disappeared when he saw the
witness looking at him. A night or
TWO later, he said, he saw Kimmel
lighted room, he asserted, so that he
could easily recognize him. When he
met the claimant in Niles last Sep
TENDER, the deponent continued, the
man admitted he was at home On the
night, and told him at what window
and what room he had been seen.
Among the dispositions read at the
morning session was one by Charles S.
Quinby of Miles, Mich, who identified
the claimant as Kimmel

Noble, of Auburn, found scar on the
Kimmel claimants left eyeball in the
place where DR.. Fred Bonnie said he
had inflicted q scar on George A Kim
meps eye by surgery.
Their examination, he said, was made
after DR.. Bonnie had looked for the
scar. DR.. Bonine has testified he fall
ed to find it. The witness said DR.. Bon
ines examination was "onIy a glance"
and was not made in a favorable light.
The former chaplain did not under
take to describe the scar infinitely ex-
cept as to location, but said he and
Mrs. Noble both saw it distinctly
Herrick was asked by counsel whit
his interest was in urging the mother
to pretend to recognize the claimant at
the second interview, as her son. He
answered that her first approach had
not been in a right spirit. Counsel
pressed the witness, and Judge Arlidon
asked him for direct answer but Her
rick only said, I thought better results
could be obtained that way

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

DR.. Arthur S. Henderson addressed
the students of the high school this
morning on the subject Washington
and Lincoln-A Contrast" DR.. Hen
derson's talk was very interesting to
the students as he compared the two
greatest characters of American his
tory in a very pleasing manner. He
told of the ancestry OF both, WASH
ington's ancestors being descended
from aristocrats dating back to the
Norman conquest of England in 1856
and Lincoln's as he himself said, were
not of illustrious stock Lincolns
father was hardly able to write his own
name and in spite Of all these draw
backs. Lincoln went ahead and became
one of the worlds greatest characters.
Washington was not hampered by pow
erty. and Lincoln was. But in the kind
red greatness of their spirits, in the
homage and love of their people, their
standing in history looks like the hand

THE COLLEGE LYCEUM.

O. % o @ 8 8 @ @ o o 9 @ @ 9 @ @ 9
To Our Friends: Permit me in this
way to recommend the coming lyceum
entertainments. In the selection OF
the entertainments l have had IN
mind both the townspeople and the
college community, because these oc-
casicns afford our boys from out Of
town an opportunity to get a part OF
the splendid social life of Newberry,
and we come together in these hours
of pleasure in the lyceum as at no
other times in the year. want to say
the following with respect to the ly-
ceum courses from now on:
1. They will be conducted by the col
lege, Prof. Frank w Chapman will
manage the course this year. If there
is any profit the college will get it;
if any loss the college will sustain 1t.
Nv aim is not to make money out OF
the lyceum for the college, but prl-
marily to furnish our people with a
series of high class entertainments
during the winter months-a thing
we will all appreciate.
2. For the accommodation OF our
patrons we are trying to engage the
opera house in which to hold the en-
tertainments. We shall do this If the
cost is not prohibitive, and if the opera
house has not been engaged for the
dates in our schedule We shall know
definitely in few days.
5. The lyceum, this year, presents
a list of splendid attractions. 1t IS
;mpossible to please everybody every
time, but 1 believe this course will be
unusually fine and popular. The cne
number alone, Ernest Gamble and his
concert company, will be worth the
price being asked for the entire course.
4. Although the coming entertain
ments are costing considerably more,
the prices will be the same-two dol
lars for single season ticket admit
tino to all entertainments, three and
a half for a double season ticket ad-
mitting two persons to the whole
course. Single admissions 80 and
Is cents.
5. Let us make this matter OF
community pride. Other towns much
smaller than ours are treating them
selves to lyceum courses. Why Eot

LARGEST ENROLMENT AT OPEN
ING IN HISTORY OF SCHOOL.
Several Talks by Trustees and Patrons
All Teachers Personal---very.
thing Starts AuspiciOusly.

The opening exercises Of the Little
Mountain high school on Monday
morning were the best and most en-
couraging and with the largest enrol
ment in the history of the school. The
trustees and patrons met with the
school and several short talks were
made to the pupils and visitors.
Rev. John ]. Long, pastor OF the
Lutheran church, took charge of the
meeting and made an excellent talk,
giving the pupils and teachers some
valuable advice. He then introduced
County Superintendent E. H. Aull, who
made a short talk along practical lines.
Mr.. w. A. Counts, a member OF the
board of trustees, talked to the pupils
and stated that it was the purpose OF
the trustees to uphold the teachers in
all matters pertaining to the better
ment and management of the school.
Mr.. ]. B. Derrick, member of the
board also made a short talk pledglng
himself and his board to the most hear
ty cooperation in the management OF
the school during the coming year.
Mr.. w. B. Shealy was called on and
responded in an earnest talk.
Prof. J. W. Mack announced the
medals for the coming year and also
the courses of study, and stated that
it was the purpose of the faculty so
far as possible to make this the best
year in the history of the Little Noun
tain school,
The total enrolment on Monday
morning was 10, 80 of whom are
in the high school department. The
largest enrolment heretofore at any
opening of the school has been less
than 100.
Prof. Mack, the superintendent, is

has had severn years experience in
high school work, and brings to his
duties at Little Mountain experience
and enthusiasm, and no doubt the
school will prospar under his manage

Jacobs, Mrs. J. C. Swygert, Miss Ell
berta Sease, who taught in the school
last session, and Miss Matthias. Every
thing at Little Mountain points to a
very successful and profitable year in
