THE ROYAL SUFFERER.
King Kalakaua's Condition Not
at All Reassuring.

King Kalakaua is still confined to his bed
at the Palace Hotel, and while great care
is exercised to impress the public with the
idea that his condition is not such as to
cause feeling of alarm among his friends.
there is every indication that he is desper-
ately sick man. Three physicians, Drs.
Woods. Taylor and Sawyer, are in attend
ance upon him, and while they are inclined
to be reticent, it is known that they regard
the Kings condition as traught With
danger.
An employee at the Palace said last night,
in speaking of the matter: Y GU can sci it
down as an absolute fact that his Majesty Is
In very bad way, and it would not sur
prise me were his death to be announced
at any time. 1t may not be so serious, of
course, but if he RECEIVERS it Will be more

1t is stated that he overtaXed himself
while in Southern California, and called in
DIR. McNulty, who pronounced his ailment
to be Bright's disease, and prescribed abso-
Lutte rest as the only safeguard against the
disease. Tbs doctor attended the King as
far as San Francisco, and five days ago re-
turned home, cautioning the royal patient
to avoid dinners and receptions. This the
King did for few days, but finding him.
self much improved, accepted the hospital
ity of the Mystic Shrine. While there he
was seized with an illness, and was assisted
to his rooms, where he was compelled to
seek his bed.
The result is being watched with anxiety.

How He Obtained Money for Locating
Lands.
L. F. Kimball was examined before Police
Judge Rix yesterday On charges of obtain
ing money under false pretenseS, and some
light was shed on the manner in which
gullible spectators try TO enrich themselves
by filing on Government timber lands.
The prosecuting witness was +. Adrian,
who represented French colony of seventy
persons. while Kimball did business in this
city under the firm name of the Oregon
and Minnesota Land Company" Adrian
testified that he paid Kimoa the money as
commission of 81 an acre on Government
land located in Oregon, the accuser having
gone up there and located on the lands,
which are very good.
Then why do you complaint" asked
Judge Rix.
because the Oregon and Minnesota Land
Company is n myth. kimball agreed that
the company would buy the land at SO an
acre as soon as it was located. We have
not yet realized our profit of SIS an acre"
The charge against himball was dismissed
because the law does not take notice of
transactions against public policy for the
purpose of settling disputes between men
bent on its violation. 1t is said that the
colonists may be prosecuted for perjury and
for trying to defraud the Government out of
timber lands.
