You are in no danger of being sick if
you keep your kidneys well.
They filter your blood and keep it
pure and free from disease-breeding
germs.
Your other organs may need care, but
your kidneys most, because they do
most.
If you are sick, begin with your kid

they will help all the other organs to
health.
The treatment of some diseases may
be delayed without danger, not so with
kidney disease.

AN EMPTY SLEEVE
Gets the State Board of Charities Into
an Embarrassing Situation.

The troubles Of the state board Of
charities have already commenced. The
board never existed that could get along
without displeasing some one, but this
board is starting in earlier than usual.
A row is brewing over the selection of
W. H. H Young as superintendent or
the Soldiers Orphans home at Atchi-
son.
Atchison people especially are dis
pleased with the action of the board.
Senator Andrews and Capt. Seaton,
district, are on the warpath, and intend
to see that the board recOnSiderS its
action in electing Young.
Young is a Kansas City man and
Atchison had candidates of its own. w.
H. Martin, an Atchison attorney, want
ed the place, and it is said that G. E.
Faulkner, who was formerly superin-
tendent of the home, but who is now
at the head of a similar institution in
Minnesota, would have come back to
Kansas if he had been offered his old
position, and many people wanted him
back.
Senator Andrews claims that the
board of charities agreed not to make
any changes in the institution until
they had visited 1T and looked it over.
Furthermore, they agreed to give Sem
ator Andrews and Capt. SeatOn an OPP
portunity to appear before the board
in the interest of their candidates be-
fore a selection was made. They did
not expect that the board would get
around to elect a superintendent before
the first of April Consequently when
Young's name was announced it came
as a surprise to both Senator Andrews
and Capt. Seaton, and now there is
trouble.
1t is claimed thai Young got his ap-
pointment under false pretenses, and
this may be sufficient excuse for the
board to reconsider it's action. Young
is an old soldier and he carries an
empty sleeve. When he appeared be-
, fore the board the other day and talked
about his war record and Appomattox,
and Haunted his empty sleeve around,
he led the board to believe that his arm
had been carried off by a rebel cannon
ball He furthermore convinced the
board that the old soldiers had not been
treated fairly by the Republican party.
1t was in consideration of these allega-
tons that the board appointed him as
superintendent of the Atchison institu-
ton.
AS a matter of fact, Young lost his
arm by getting mixed up with a Mis-
souri, Pacific train a few years ago, and
it is said that he recovered So, 900 from
the railroad company as result of the
accident.

STATE DISHEARTENED.
The Conviction of Kunkle For Poison
ing His Wife Very Doubtful

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 2S.-The prose-
cution in the case of John ]. Kunkel,
charged with the murder of his wife,
IIeydia, received series of SetbackS
that disheartened and discouraged the
attorneys in charge to almost the quit
ting point. Testimony of vital import
ance to the success of the state was
ruled out as incompetent ard conditions
were eXacted by the court which they
Vainly tried to comply with. The court
refused to permit evidence to be offered
to prove the presence of arsenic in the
towels and other articles said by wit
nesSeS to have been used by Mrs. Kun
KEEL in her last hours and repeatedly de-
manded that a closer connection be
made in their showing that the articles
came from the death chamber and were
not Of those used by the undertaken
when embalming the body of the alleged
victim of Kunkel'S poisonous bent.
Witnesses swore today that the ar
ticleS were used by Mrs. Kunkel and
had been taken from the death cham
Der, and testimony previously given
traced the disposition of the articles
from the time they were no longer of
use to Mrs. KunkeI until they were de-
posted on table in the laboratory Of
the expert chemist, DR.. Barlow, in the
Kansas university. But the connection
was not strong enough apparently and
one by one the evidence pins set up by
the prosecution in the legal bowling
alley were knocked down by rulings.
To date the state has presented a
case which would be, under ordinary
conditions, considered Enthusiastically,
almost invincible. Witnesses have tes-
titled strongly in support of the theory
of the prosecution and it is ready to
prove by expert testimony that in the
stains on towels, a sheet, pillowsham
and mating contain arsenic in large
quantities; that whisky found in the
death chamber is strongly impregnated
with the poison, and that numerous
suspicious acts of Kunkel warranted
the accusation of murder against him.
But the state is not permitted to con-
10 g H.
various articles with the death of Mrs
Kunkel in any way, and, meeting with
failure there, it will be impossible to
connect Kunlzel with the crime If there
was a crime committed.

JOE WHEELER'S PLAN
Is to Recruit the Regular Army in
Our Dependeucies

Washington, Feb. 28.-Major General
Wheeler has offered the war depart
ment a suggestion looking to the utiliza-
ton of the troops to be added to the
army under the terms of the pending
reorganization bill in the regular estab-
lishment instead of the volunteer branch.
The compromise measure permits the
president to recruit such portion of the
35, 900 volunteers to be added to the reg
u1ar army in time of emergency from
the natives of the islands of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines as he may elect
Gen. Wheeler argues that these men
can be brought to a much higher state
of efficiency and be made of greater
value to the military establishment if
incorporated in the regular army than
If in the volunteer branch.
The status of Gen. Wheeler himself
is said to be such that he must take
some action towards choosing again be-
tween the army and congress within a.
few days. 1t is believed at the war de-
partment that if he retains his army
commission until after noon on the 4th
of March he will forfeit his seat in the
house of representatives for the ensu-
ing two years under the ruling of the
judiciary committee to the effect that
by holding such a commission an officer
SurrenderS his seat in congress.

who went last night, several other offl-
