the boy? Still running the Niles Star?" This was the exclamation of George JL. Kirnmel, released from Auburn, N. T-, state prison, to Fred W. Cook, veteran publisher of the Xiles Sfar, &a KImmeel stepped from the train at Klles and began his campaign to establish his identity as a native son gainst the protestations of Mrs. Stella Kimmel, mother of the disputed personality of George Kimmel, and of Mrs. Kimmeel's daughter, Mrs. Edn?. Const et L "George, it's you. I know It's you. Td know you anywhere or. the face of the earth. Say, you see Jhis little ccar on my head? Remember where I sot that?" asked Editor Cook. "Sure." replied Kimmel. "Down at the old swimming hole, down at Brown's eddy. I was Just a kid and you were a big fellow. I was there when you took that dive and cut your head. We thought you were drowned." Why Its the most utter nonsenseJ I ever heard of to say you are not George," said Cook. "It's teen fifteen years since I saw you and those years have certainly made a difference."' Mrs. Stella Kimmel, whom Kimmel claims as his mother, and who denies him as a son, and Mrs. Edna KimDel Bonstett, who denies that she 19 the sister of the man who claims to be the long missing Geor.se A. Kimmel of Nlles. were not present vrhen Kimmel arrived. Kimmel shook hands with several former neighbors and recalled their Hret names promptly. "Mother visited me at the penitentiary," Klrarrel said, "and whn I asked her If her heart did not tell her to own me, she said, 'You may call me mother. George. But now she ays I am not her son. And it is air because of the Insurance." The New York Life Insurance company has a large part to do with bringing Kimmel back to Niles. He was met at the station by a representative of the company from Chicago. If It can be proven that the man claiming to be the son of Mrs. Stella Kimmel Is lad'eed her son, the Insurance company hopes to escape paying a $25,CC9 policy in favor of Mrs. Bonstett fcy George A. Kimmel, her brother. Dayton Youth Hurt at Football. Dayton, O., Sept. 20.

The Senior class will hold a meeting immediately after school Monday for election of officers. Every member of the class is urged to be present. The Freshies are "greener" than ever if appearances can be believed but they say, "Just wait and we will show the school what's in us." "We are all " waiting' ' for some manifestation of their good points. In the meantime the "initiations" are coming thick and fast.' Ffiday afternoon they' chose the following of their number to be their leaders during the trving first year: Obituary James O. Parks, son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Parks, was born February 28th, 1880. He was graduated from the Plymouth High School in 1901, following which, nine years ago, he accepted a position in the East Chicago bank, where he resigned as Cashier last ApriL Seven years ago, the twenty-second of last June, he led to the matrimonial altar one of 'his former schoolmates, Miss Gail North,1 daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. North of this city. They had been companions from childhood. In school they were together, and on the way home, he would carry her books; while in the burdens 'of the later years, a loving wife now bears testimony that he never failed. There were giren to them, three little ones, one of whom died in infancy. Kenneth, three years of age. and Dorothy, eleven months old, are left with the mother in the home. , fLast April, Mr. Parks went to the South with the hope of regaining his health. Word often came that he was improved, then more recently that be was failing. His

The Brightest Spot in Towrf devoted wife wa arranging to go quickly to his side, but before she could start, the words were flashed back, "He is gone."i It is a great comfort today to his loved ones to remember his character. Reared in a Christian home, and given a helpmate of true Christian character, the life, he led was one of deepening faith and widening service toward others. He entered, the Christian life early, at the age of thirteen, uniting with the Presbyterian church of this city. In East Chieago, he and his wife became members of the Congregational church. 'vlle was a faithful member of the church, and for a number of years has been an active worker in the Sunday school. He was esjeeially fond of the songs of the church. He loved to sing, and , upon many occasions, whenever opportunity came to him. he rendered valuable service in his wav. As a mark of the high esteem and appreciation by those who knew him best, we note the presence here at his funeral of the three other members of the quartet to which he belonged in East Chicago. -Word comes also from Fort1 Sumner, New Mexico, where he had gone only a few months as a stranger, that in the little church of the town his help in singing was sought after, and was freely given, and that he also became the teacher of a class of bovs in the Sunday school These facts reveal unmistakably that until the very last, he gave a life of devoted service to others .and to Christ. We feel that in no sense were his talents hid away, and that he was found in faithful service when the Master came. We believe that a great, good C!od had need of him in a better world than ours. To the realms bevond human ken, Iiis spirit winged it flight at eleven a. ni, lat Tuesday, September twelfth, at Albuquerque, New Mex. He was a true son, a loving hus band, and a devoted father. Besides two children and a devoted wife, he leaves also his brother Ernest, his mother, Mrs. J. AY. Parks, and his sister Jennie, together with many friends tomouin their lofs. Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. John AY. Parks on Sophia street, Saturday at two p. m. and were conducted by the pastor of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Rev. F. O. Fraley and Rev. W. C. Logan. A representation of the Elks' Lodge of Chicago was present, and brief ritual services of the Order were conducted by them at the grave. The other three members of the quartet to which Mr. Parks belonged in Chicago, Mr. Evan Loyd, Miss Mary Stone and Miss Pearl Townsend, were present and very feelingly sang several beautiful and appropriate selections.

mm CITY COUNCIL CLAIMS BOARD " IS NOT FOLLOWING AGREEMENT IN BUILDING OF BROWNLEE BRIDGE., SPCIAL MEETING HELD Arrangements Made For Uu'fcrm Arrangements of Spec-al Sights la Residence Districts. At a special meeting of the city council' Thursday night. City Engineer Win. English called the council's attention to the way in which he County Commissioners advertised for bids on the Prownlee bridge. When it was fully decided to replace the bridge, the city council was persuaded by the county attorney to apropriate .föOO.OO with the agreement that they would receive a first class bridge, and the understanding that they would have a crcdon floor instead of ordinary plank. This floor being composed of cedar blocks soaked in oil, and b?ing practically imperishable, will cost less to maintain. However, instead of asking for bids on a credon floor the commissioners asked merely for an ordinary plank floor. The council instructed the city attorney to investigate the matter at once, and every thing will be done to secure the best bridge possible, the only difficulty lying is the fact that the thoughtful city council did not have the agreement of the county attorney written llids were opened for the con stmction of sidewalks on west Harrison street and Clarence Lee was awarded the contract, over one other bidder. It was also decided that sidewalks would be ordered built on Harrison, Madison and Thaver streets and on Webster ave. A uniform arrangement of lights in the residence district was decided upon for Home Coming week, the posts to be set .")9 feet apart and alternating from one side of the street to the other. The property owners are putting in these- lights with the understanding that when completed they will be turned over to and kept up by the city, therefore becoming the city's property. These "lights! will be a great aid in " showing np'Mhe city during Horn Coming week, and it would be well if more of our residents would become interested ' along this line. Home forSale I have a house and two lots in Central addition, Plymouth, that I will sell at a fine bargain for some one who wants a comfortable home in town. These lots are No. 119 and 120 in Central Addition, which is on west Jackson street, two blocks west of the barrel factory.

The three rooms down stairs are 8x14, 12x14 and 14x14 in size, and the upstairs rooms "are each 10x14 feet. The, building is cased with eood hard pine, has three glass doors and large windows. There is a well of good water 42 feet deep. These lots are high and dry, and most of the people here own their homes. The residence is near the beautiful Packard wood, one of the roost pleasant places in Plymouth, and is also within easy distance of most of the factories, of the-city.
