When the kidneys are sick there is always warning to telIeyou of 1t, and when the kidneys call for help there Is no time to lose. Kidney diseases are common and fatal-oause more deaths every year than any other human ills. But in nine cases out of ten this is due to neglect. Kidney disorders are easily contracted, but just as easily cured when treated properly and in time.
 Common causes of Kidney troubles are colds. fevers. exposure, strains On the back. blood-poisioning diseases, and in- dulgence in stimulants.
 The kidneys are the blood filters, and when they become sick, the blood is soon laden with impurities. which the kidneys have failed to 'romove. This causes backache, stiff, lame, and sore muscles, aching joints, spells of dizzi- ness, headaches. rheumatic pains. sleep lessness, nerviousness, and languor, weak heart and many other bodily aches and ills.
 Meanwhile the kidneys are fast breaking down, and from this cause the urine becomes discolorod and full of sandy sediment; passages are too fre- quent and oftenl painful.

The participant in a rattle hopes to Sc

NEWS OF THE CITY

They charge that Davis deserted on
Aug. Is, 1902. He had enlisted May
%, 1901, for, three years. The descrip-
tons are so clear that the officials at
Fort Smelling do not doubt for a mo-
ment that Smith is the man. Gen. Nc
Ribbon, then colonel, sent in the
charges of desertion from the Twenty
fourth infantry.
THE records show that he is bad
man." said an officer at the fort yes
terday. THE papers say that he is
glib talker, and Smith certainly is all
of that. He has the general appear
ance of a bad man."
Never for a moment has Davis for
gotten that he is denying the charges
against him. The officer of the guard
takes all opportunities to trap him,
but in vain. The other night the Of
f1cer spoke to him sharply, calling him
Davis.
MY name is not Davis" he respond
ed quickly.

of the guard yesterday afternoon,
throwing open the door.
When brought into the Office Smith
refused to say anything regarding his
case If he was sold by his false
friend he retains a stoical silence.

That will do said the officer.

salute as he left the room.

cigarette.

TRAINING SCHOOL BILLS
HAVE LITTLE CHANCE
House Has Anderegg. Dorsey and Adams
Measures SIdetracked

Friends of the movement to establish a
girls training school by the state are
convinced that prospects for legislation at
this session are remote While a bill NAV
pass the senate. the chances for the sue
cess of any one of the three training
school bills in the house is regarded as
extremely improbable.

priations last week referred the Anderegg.

ures became impressed with the convic-
ton that il was movement to put the
bills to an easy death.
The pressing demand for money by the
other state institutions Is the excuse
which will be given by the subcommittee
for keeping the training school bills in the
committee until the close of the session.

install the girls training school at some

negro Soldier Tells Police That
Friend Deserted From
Army

A young negro is lying behind the
bars in the guardhouse at Fort Shell
ing. The tramp, tramp, tramp of
soldier, with a rife on his shoulder, is
what confronts this prisoner. He says
his name is z. j. Smith, and that he
is nephew of Bob" Mott, Chicago
colored politician and property owner.
Army officers say the name of this
young negro is J. D. Davis, and that
he is a deserter from the Twenty
fourth regular infantry.
He was betrayed, his former en-
ployer in st. Paul says, by comrade
of army days whom he had befriended.
the $50 reward given for returned de-
SerterS.
The beginning of this story dates
back to an army post in the Philip
pines Private Davis is there and it
was here that he met another soldier,
the man who is accused of selling him.
The two became fast friends. They
shared the same quarters, and some
times talked of what they would do
when their term was over.
The two privates were together at
Fort Harrison in Montana. Davis here
according to army officers, deserted his
regiment to pursue the more congenial
pursuits of civil life.
Then the scene changes to st. Paul
neat little barber shop at 341 Wa
basha street disclosed a bright looking
colored boy in the role of porter. He
shined the shoes of customers, brushed
coats and hats and wore a pleasant
smile.
One fine day a few weeks ago as this
man wandered down the street he saw
a negro boy who looked familiar. In
stantly there flashed back the recollec-
ton of army life in the Philippines,
the tropical verdure, hard days and
nights of marching and fighting. Then
he recognized the boy
The new found friend was ANYTHING
but prosperous. His clothes bespoke
days and nights of riding of a box car,
of times when eating was unknown to
him and a general air of hard luck.
But the porter extended a hand of well
come. He, took him to the place he
called home, he gave him to eat and
drink, he clothed him and gave him a
place to sleep. Together they talked
behind closed doors of those days in
the Philippines, when they marched
together and fought the natives
shoulder to shoulder.
Sells His Friend
Feeling once more at peace with the
world the new found friend returned
to the thought of personal prosperity.
He knew that Davis was a deserter
He had heard that those who arrested
deserters and turned them over to the
officials got $50 reward.
On this he acted. Forgetting the
kindness that had been shown him
the friend proceeded to tell the police
that the porter was a deserter. The
arrest was made from the barber shor
at 341 Wabasha street, and Smith OF
Davis sent to the guardhouse at Fort
Smelling.
