Russian Soldiers Wore ReGimental
 Flags In Captivity.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27.-An in- spring story of the preservation of the standards of three of the Russian regi- ments engaged in resisting the .Japa- nese siege of Port Arthur was revealed when an officer and two privates called on General Daniloff. head of the Rus sian prisoners commission, and pre- sented to him for the emperor the col ors which during their long soiourn as prisoners in Japan they had concealed from the sharp eyed Japanese.
 When Port Arthur was surrendered the men ripped the colors from the staffs and concealed them beneath their uniforms. wearing them around their bodies by night and by day until they boarded a steamer for their return to Russia after the conclusion of peace.
 General Daniloff promised to present the colors to the emperor. who, he said. would suitably reward those who had so faithfully upheld the honor of their country's flag.
 This incident recalls the historic ex- ploit of Russian color sergeant who after the Napoleonic wars carried the flag of his regiment wrapped about his body during his five years captivity in France. --..- -

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of Its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion. weak heart. gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back, or first notice anything wrong with the urine. don't delay q moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have n quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine, cure hack ache, dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.
 WATERBURY PROOF.
 James Dews, of B Hospital avenue, says:

 Destroyed This Morning.

Destroyed This Morning.
 LOWELL. Mass. Jan. 27.-At least six persons lost their lives and twenty were injured in fire which partly de- stroyed the Richardson hotel. one of the leading public houses in this city, early this morning. The fire started a few minutes before o'clock. and the flames rapidly communicated to vari- ous parts of the structure.
 A large number of guests were in the hotel and those who were in the upper part of the building were res cued from windows. as they had little chance to escape by the stairways. The firemen at 2:30 o'clock found the bod ies of six women on the top floor of the hotel. Life was extinct.
 The flremen and police rescued many of the guests with difficrllty. Twenty or more of them were injured. but dur ing the first half hour that the fire was in progress 1t was not known that there had been any fatalities.
 The Richardson hotel is moderate sized structure of brick and is four stories in height The hotel is situated at the corner of Middlesex and Dutton streets. directly opposite the station of the Boston and Maine railroad.

SHONTS GETS BIG. PAY
Chairman of Canal Work Be-
 fore Senate Committees.
ROOSEVELT GAVE HIM SPEClALPOWER
Panama Executive Consists of Only Two Members Since Wallace Re- signed-shontas Still President
 Of Clover Leaf Road.

s WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Tlat he draws $12,000 annnally from the Glover Leaf route as president was admitted by Theodore F. Shonts, chairman of the isthmlan canal commission. His statement may have an important bearing on the canal Investigation. MT. Shonts was called by the senate inter- oceanic canal committee to make a general statement of all matters over which he exercises control He was asked to state his former employment. He said that he had been president of the Clover Leaf route He says that he does not give any time to the man. agement of the road but that reports are sent to him, and frequently officials of the road come to Washington to consult him.
 After getting into the. record the fact that MT. Shonts receives $30. 900 a year from the United States the chairman of the commission was allowed to; pro ceed. It was stated by members of the committee, however. that when they take up tile: question of reviewing sal aries MT. Shonts' case will be met. MT. Shonts, in interesting testimony, ad- mitted that the commission had paid for the importation of women into the canal zone, the women being the fami- lies of laborers from Martinique, and that there is no way for the govern ment to recover it's money.
 Mir. Shonts said that after the bids were scheduled and brought to him he approved the transactions without sub hitting them to the other members of the commission. He said he was giv- en authority to do this by President Roosevelt's order. Senator German asked if the executive committee had daily sessions.
 "There are only two members now" said Mir. Shonts. Governor Magoon. who is on the isthmus, and myself. There has been no third member since the resignation of Mir. Wallace"
 Have you called the attention of the president to the yacancy?' asked Sen ator German.
 "Oh, think he knows that Wallace has resigned!' was the response and it created merriment. ~ 4 l"I suppose you are embarrassed ire quently by having to act on these busi. ness matters alone?' asked Senator German. and the members of the com. 5mittee and MT. Shonts again laughed.

GEuEVLEYE
DOWSET''F
IS DEAD
MRS. GENEvIEVE DOWsETT DUN
BAR PASSED AWAY THIS MORN
ING-BROTHER RECEIVES NEWS

A cablegram was received this morn
ing by David Dowsett announcing the
death of his sister, Mrs. Genevieve
Dowsett Dunbar presumably at Bel
vedere, where she was stopping. Death
was caused by heart failure which is
thought to have followed an operation.
Mrs. Dunbar was very we'll known
in this city and leaves many friends
here to whom the news of her death
will come as a great shock, She was
about 20 years old and was noted for
her beauty and winning ways.
She was educated in San Jose and
made her home on the mainland for
the greater part of her life, visiting
the islands often however. Her last
trip to these islands was in last Aug
ust, she being one of the Manchuria's
passengers when that vessel went up
on the rocks at Waimanalo. She did
not remain here long, however, and
left soon to rejoin her husband, Stuart
Boyd Dunbar, to whom She was mar
ried on August 12
Mrs. Dunbar came quite prominently
into view both on the mainland and in
these islands through romance
growing out of her heroic rescue
from drowning of Prentice Gray,
young football hero of the Uni
versity of California. She became en-
gagged to him and then to. the amaze
ment of her many friends she married
Dunbar saying that she would marry a
imam" and not a cad" This led to
the supposition that she had been jilt-
ed by Gray.
Mrs. Dunbar leaves six sisters and
three brothers, two sisters and a broth
er being away, and the rest in this
city aside from number of other
relatives. Her sisters are Mrs. Fred
Knight, Mrs. G. w. Kirkaldy, Mrs. Dr..
Raymond, Mrs. Marion Crook Mrs.
L. A. Parish, and another married sis
ter who is abroad. The brothers are
Allka, David and Sam, Her parents
are both dead.
