ST. Louis.-The Kimmel jury, in
the famous identity mystery and
$4,000 insurance contest, report
ed to Judge Amidon it's unanimous
conclusion was that the Kimmel claim
ant, an ex-convict, put forward by a
life insurance company of New York,
was not George A. Kimmel.
But the jury stated it could not
agree on the vital issue of the suit,
whether George A. Kimmel was dead
or alive in March, 1904, when the
present suit was filed.
This meant that the jury as whole
would not accept John B. Swinney's
astonishing story of KimmePs violent
death in an Oregon forest while re-
turning from buried gold expedition

Present and Men Preserve Order.
London.-The coal strike, the
greatest in the history of Great
Britain, is marking time over the
weekend. One satisfactory feature is
the complete absence of disorder in
the districts affected. All negotia-
lions looking to a settlement have
ceased, as the leaders who recently
gathered in London have scattered to
attend to local matters in connection
with the difficulties.
Labor leaders in recent speeches
have insisted upon the Importance of
supporting the miners, because now
that the government has decided to
institute a minimum wage in connec-
ton with the mines, it will be impos-
sible much longer to withhold estab-
fishing minimum wage in all indus
tries

MONTHLY REPORT OF
Welsh CIVIC LEAGUE,
Good Work Done By All Departments
Member of League Appointed
on State Board of Health.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Welsh Civic League was held last
Saturday afternoon at the Auditorium.
The minutes Of the previous meeting
were read and approved and the re-
ports of the different committees we're
handed in and accepted.
The cemetery has been kept moved
also the Auditorium grounds, the
school yard and other lawns that have
been turned over to The League for
that purpose.
Mrs Godfrey of the sanitary and
cleanup committees reports that from
Il sanitary point the town is ia good
condition. AS chairman of the clean
up committee she reports as follows:
Twenty.four vacant lots have been
cleaned, four at the expense Of the
Civic League and the rest at the ex.
pense of the property owners. Three
other lots are let out for pasture to
be cleaned for the use of them. All
trash has been removed from the
bayou at the different bridges.
We wish to say that the League ap.
preciates the manner and promptness
with which the people have responded
to the requests of the League to clean
up, not only by the people residing
here hut also by the non-residents.
Most of the people written to have re-.
piled in very courteous and ap.
preciative manner, and there were
only one or two who did not have the
grace to reply at all.
We are pleased to inform the public
that the chairman of the sanitary
committee, Mrs. Godfrey, has re-
ceived notice that she has been ap-
pointed member of the State Board
of Health. While we congratulate
Mrs. Godfrey for the honor bestowed
upon her, we are also congratulating
ourselves that we have a member of
the Welsh Civic League who has at.
tanned such prominence.

PARISH SEAT At WELSH
WILL benefit WORKINGMEA
New Residences Would Have to be
Built in Welsh. In Jennings
Enough Vacant Houses to
Last for Ten Years.

a view Of the parish seat question
that is being taken by the carpenters
and builders of the parish OF Jefferson
Davis, and one withal, which is of
very vital interest to them, is that
thew will all be benefited by the To-.
cation of the court house at Welsh,
rather than at Jennings.
In this connection they say that as
there are not d half dozen vacant
houses in Welsh, and will not be any
10 the course of Il couple of months
If the parish seat should be located at
Welsh a number OF new residences
would have to be built to accommodate
the parish officials and number of
other families that would naturally
move TO the seat of government This
would furnish work for carpenters,
brick layers, plasterers, painters,
paperhangers, and III fact nearly
every kind of labor for number of
wears to come. On the other hand, as
these men who must have work in
order to support their families, and
lay by little for ii rainy day, are
aware, should the parish seat be
located at Jennings, with its score
upon score of empty houses there
would be practically no demand for
new buildings for a number Of years
to come, as Jennings already has a
sufficient number of dwellings, to
house all probable Corners for the
the next five wears.
There is not the slightest doubt about
the correctness of the above view of
the case. The location of the parish
seat in a town that is already build
ing and growing, will furnish much
more work for the mechanics of the
parish, than its location in q town,
that was built up in the days of an
oil boom, aud has been undergoing
period of decadence for several
wears past, and is thickly studded
with vacant properties that can be
bought or rented much cheaper than
new ones could be built.
