New York. Feb. 1.-Prices of oil and
gasoline have steadily advanced since
the dissolution of the oil trust and the

The increased cost of conducting the

KIMMEL CASE WILL
OPEN NEXT TUESDAY
NEW TESTIMONY TO BE INTRO
DucED LikEL YTO PROVE
IMPORTANT.

ST. Louis. Mo-, Feb. 1.--Attorneys for
both sides are busy at work preparing
for the trial of the famous Kimmel
case. which is set to begin in the
United States court in this city next
Tuesday. The trial is expected To at
tract wide attention on account of the
many strange features that the case
presents.
The case to be tried is the suit
brought by the receiver of the Farm
ers' State Bank of Arkansas City, Kas..
against a New York insurance compa-
ny to recover the amount of an insur-
ance policy held by George a. Kim
mel, who was cashier OF the bank at
the time of his mysterious disappear
arce in 1898 and was heavily indebted
to the institution. The whole case
hinges on the question of whether
Kimmel is living or dead. This will be
the third time that tho suit has been
tried. At the first trial a verdict for
$4,000 was returned i'm favor of the
plaintiff, but IL was reversed by the
cgurt of appeals. on the second trial
the jury disagreed.
New Witness Secured.
The insurance compcny claims a
man known as Andrew j White is IA
reality the missing Kimme When
first discovered this man was serving
a term at the Matteawan AsylIrl for
the Criminal Insane. At that time he
gave a number of startling facts about
himself purporting to prove tina. he
was Kimmcl and upon his release from
prison a year or so ago he went to
Niles. Mich. where Kimmel waS born
and raised and endeavored TO establish
his Identity as the missing man. Many
old time residents of Niles declared
that the man was the George y. Kim
mel whom they had known Intimate.
w. ON the other hand. Mrs Julia. T.
i<immel the mother. and Mrs. EGra
X. Bonslett. the sister. after studying
the ex-onvIct carefully. denounced the
man as an imposter.
At the approaching trial the attor-
neys for the receiver OF the Arkansas
City bank will seek TO disprcve the
claim OF the insurance company that
white and Kimmel are one and the
same man by the testimony of wit
nesses who knew Klmmel and ~ the
statement OF John Boone Swinaey.
New Mexico ranchman. who declares
he saw Kimmcl killed in an oregon
forest, August IL. 1898. which was n
few weeks after he disappeared from
a hotel I'm Kansas City.

UNDERWOOD STRONGEST MAN
DEMOCRATS CAN NOMINATE
---CoioneI ". L. Peel

I'm talking with Democrats In the
north and east on recent visits to that
section I am convinced that We could
not nominate any man who would re-.
ceive 40 strong or stronger support In
those sections than Underwood. To
win we have got to carry some Of the
states Of the north and east like New
York, Indiana and others. and I am
satisfied that Underwood will DO It
where other Democrats cannot.
ITO my mind there ID no question
Of section In this contest. Il u the
question Of the best man. Democrats
all over the country want the best
man. no matter where he 10 from. It
makes no difference whether he ID from
north, SOUTH east or west. II would
be very gratifying II we could have a
president from the south, hut the first
question to consider IL the man.
"To my mind Mr.. Underwood meets
all Of the qualifications better than
any other Democrat we could possibly

political outcasts Of the nation we are
now not only in our fathers house. but
we sit at the head OF the table In the
councils Of the family.
The confidence in the soundness and
efficiency OF southern leadership is not
embraced only in the favor with which
the candidacy Of Oscar Underwood has
been received In the north. but in re-

felt In the north and west that in the
south the country woukl find indebted
