WHY SO WEAK2
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away. Brownsville People
Have Learned This Fact

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap-
parent cause, becomes weak, Ian
guild, depressed, suffers backache,
headache, dizzy spells and urinary
disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kid
neys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them we'll.
j. P. Anderson, carpenter, 1iv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, says:
MY Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
loins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy
ance, especially IN the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised and brought home box.
l used them and obtained great
benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has
given me no trouble since. I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
with pleasure. "

the sessions will continue two weeks.
Delegates are coming from Alaska,
British Columbia and Mexico, and all
the western states in which mining Is
carried on. In the absence of Presi-
dent Charles H. Meyer, who is in pris-
on in Idaho, Vice President c. E. Ma
honey will call the convention to Or
der. Examination of delegates creden-
tials will be the principal work Of the
opening session.
That Charles H. Meyer will be con-
tinued as president and William D.
Haywood as secretary-treasurer of the
organization Is the concensus Of opin-
ion among the delegates who have al
ready arrived. The charter prohibits
the election of officers not upon the
floor of the convention hall, but pro-
vides that officers shall hold over until
their successors are chosen. The elec-
ton of president and secretary-treas-
urer, it Is agreed, will be passed again
this year as it was last year.
The delegates already on the ground
are unanimous in declaring that Harry
Orchards statements connecting the
federation officers with the crimes he
committed are network of lies.
Eugene v. Debs, the Socialist leader,
is in Denver and will attend the con-
vention.

federate soldiers who we're captured
early in the war and held prisoners for
all time at Louisville, KY, and later at
Rock Island, ILL., These men finally
enlisted in the Union army on an
agreement that they should not be sent
south, but to the western border. Their
enlistment stipulated that 1t was for
frontier service" and 1t. is held that
they did not serve ninety days in the
Civil war"
The question involved has been
raised many times before, but all pre-
vious rulings have been that the time
of service was from the time of enlist
ment until the time of discharge or
mastering. The ruling made by J. E.
Wilsonsand approved by the secretary
of the interior, insists upon the full
ninety days actual service The ruling
coming just at the time of the granting
of the service pensions under the law
enacted by the recent congress, offers
an opportunity to re-examine a great

for the advance provided by that law,

ment, though not under cc- -sideration

Bradley, continuing, related that he
was so terribly injured by the explo-
sion spoken of by Orchard that he was
unable to clearly follow the accounts
of the outrage. He referred to the al
legation that the explosion which
wrecked his home and himself was
caused by an escape of gas in the front
hall, which was ignited by match
struck to light his cigar.

then an explosion of gas caused by the

STATE WILL INSIST ON
PAYMENT OF FLAT TAX

Denver, May Unless some fifteen
thousand corporations pay the state
fiat tax by the first OF next month they
will find themselves defendants in col
lection suits instituted by Attorney
General Dickson.
There are 10000 corporations doing
business in the state. both foreign and
domestic. Under the fiat tax law they
are required to pay annually two cents
on every $1,000 OF their capital stock.
So far the state has collected this year
$40,342, although but half OF the cor
porations have paid the tax.
The passage OF the new law by the
last legislature is one OF the reasons
why more corporations have not paid
up. The decision of the United States
supreme court that the law was un-
constitutional in 80 far as 1t related to
foreign corporations, made 1t neces-
sary for the last legislature to pass a
law making a uniform rate for both
foreign and domestic companies. For
merly the rate was four cents on each
thousand dollars OF capital stock for
the foreign corporations. and two cents
for domestic. The uniform rate now
Is two cents per thousand.
Under the old law notices that taxes
were due were sent out from the Sec
retary of states once February /, and
the time limit was May !. The notices
were ready this year at the usual time.
but owing to the pending legislation.
were withheld. They were finally sent
out, after the bill was signed by the
governor, and the limit for payment
was extended to July 1. Under the new
law the attorney general is empowered
to begin suit against all companies
that have not complied with its pro-
visions by this time.
Every corporation in the state must
now pay a fiat tax. Under the old law
all companies with a capitalization less
than $25 900 were exempt, but this ex-
emption was removed by the legisla-
ture. This will increase the revenues
OF the ONCE to a considerable extent.

RECORDS CHANGED IN
LAND APPLICATION

Denver, June THE state land
board is starting an investigation over
three quarter sections OF agricultural
land purchased by George NJ. Davis
two years ago and assigned by him to
James l.. Hurt later. The land Is in
Rio Grande county. 1t was sold by
the board for $3.50 an acre. 1t now
transpires that the application records
were changed some time and that the
man secured a lease. not on the land
he originally applied for. but on other
lands worth $50 an acre. In the land
board 1t shows that the description OF
the land as originally applied for was
scratched and another description in
serted. The records OF the board show
that the original description went
through. An Investigation will be
conducted and 1t Is intimnted that more
serious charges will be made before
the matter Is over.

VETERANS TAEEN OFF
TIE PENSION ROLLS

Washington, June 7.-Civi1 war vet
Grams are being removed from the fed
eral pension rolls at the rate of nearly
200 day. Death Is removing the vet
Grams at the rate of about 120 a day,
but ruling made March 27 is adding
fifty day to the number of removals.
This ruling removes from the rolls all
pensioners who enlisted for ninety
days and were on furlough a part Of
that time, 80 that their terms Of actual
service aggregated less than the ninety
days stipulated by the service pension
laws.
Most of the men affected by the re-
cent ruling enlisted in the first days
OF the war. Many OF them so far al
fected were members OF the First, Sec
ond, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth IL
linois Volunteers and the Fifth and
Sixth Illinois known as the "mechan-
les fusIlleers."
The ruling il based on q clause
which declares that a soldier to be eli
gible for q pension must have served
"in the Civil war for ninety days" II
being held that they must have been
engaged in actual services for that
period. The mechanics fusileors has
been found to have been . regiment

serving only as skilled workmon. When
they found that they were to recsive

that they be mustered in and immedi-

WILL TESTIFY AGAINST HIM

Cripple Creek. June 8.-Mrs. Ida
Toney, the woman who Harry Orchard
married in Cripple Creek, is on her
way to Boise to appear as a witness
for the defense.
According to intimate friends of Mrs.
Toney she will swear that at the time
she married Orchard she claimed to
be Pinkerton detective. She will also
testify that Orchards home was never
searched by the militia, although he
was considered to be strike leader.
All the surrounding houses were
searched

when he is placed on the stand. Adams
was placed in a cell in the county Jail
joining the one occupied by Haywood,
Meyer and Pettibone. No one Is al
lowed to communicate with him.
Adams was brought from the Jail at
Wallace, where he is held pending trial
on the charge Of murder. Adams, &C
cording to Harry Orchard, was the
partner of the great assassinator in
many of the dumping of" expeditions,
successful and unsuccessful, to which
Orchard has made confession. Adams
also confessed last year, but unlike
Orchard he rued and repudiated the
document when he faced the gallows.
The confession is, however, sworn and
in writing. 1t shows careful correction
and interlineation in Adams own
handwriting. Astounding though it
may seem, those who have seen Ad-
ans confession, say it surpasses Orch
ards story of cold-blooded elation of
man-hunting and murder. The list Of
Adams alleged victims is not as long
as that which which Orchard credits
himself, but this is said to be because
Steve Adams still-hunted a single
quarry, while Orchard. according to
his own word, did not care whether
he killed one man or fifty" as he 'felt
at that time"
Another interesting witness who ar
rived in Boise today Is Mrs. Tony Orch
ard. the widow with three children,
whom Orchard took to wife notwith-
standing the existence of another wife
living in Canada, and known there un-
der Orchards true name. Mrs. Ida
Tony Orchard will be a witness for
the defense. 1t Is understood she will
testify that Orchard, while he lived at
Cripple Creek, was in the employ of
the Mine Owners association. They
were married shortly before the great
strike broke out in 1904. The woman
was keeping miners boarding house.
Some new light has been thrown on
the murder Of Lyte Gregory in Denver.
According to statements made by the
police in Denver, Orchard and Simp-
kins, or whoever his accomplice was,
were suspected at the time of the mur-
der. Bloodhounds tracked them to the
yard behind Pettibone's store, where
Orchard says he hid his guns. and that
other evidence was discovered. The
police were about to arrest the two
men when orders came from some
mysterious source that the men were
not to be molested, and Orchard was
allowed to get out of town. This
statemen is said to have been made by
Chief of Detectives Loomis of Denver,
and Paul Gregory. brother of the
murdered man has made a similar
statement. 1t is likely that both will
be called as witnesses and the mys-
terious order allowing Orchard to get
away will be. investigated.
