WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Uuconsiug Work Keeps Us
 Strong md HeRlthy.

All the blood iu the body passes
 through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
 They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 300 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter IS left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and SymptOmS-pain in the
 back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin. rheumatism. gOuJ, gravel, disOr- ders Of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
 ness. irregular heart, debility, drOwsi- ness, drOpsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But # you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. W. A. Hawkins, 66J YeSler way, Se- attle, Wash, says: Ut gives me
 pleasure at the present time to confirm

KA|LUA KOREAN
To BE HANGED
Convicted of Murder in the
First Degree and Must
Die.

Acting Attorney General Whitney
yesterday received word from Deputy
Sutton that Korean who has been on
trial for several days before the Cir
cult Court at Kai1ua, had been convict
ed of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to be hanged. This trial had
lasted longer than was expected and
in consequence the trial of Senator
elect Baker had not been had, but was
to have begun yesterday morning.
The Acting Attorney General knows
little of the circumstances of the crime
for which the KOREAN was convicted.
Deputy Attorney General Larnach re-
turned from Kauai on Wednesday
where he had been handling the crimi-
nal eases in the Circuit Court. He
secured five convictions, and there was
only one acquital. That was a Portu-
guese charged with manslaughter, the
offense having taken place at a Portu-
guese merry-making where there was
a good deal of drinking and in the trial
very much conflicting evidence.
Mr.. Larnach leaves today for Hilo
% attend the term of the Circuit Court
there.

After the ceremony the Leavitts came

while Then they went to New Orleans.
The little girl was born there. Yellow
fever drove the family back to Denver
again and by this time it was apparent
to Mr. Bryan that his son-in-law was
not able to support the young wife and

Notwithstanding that assurance it
was noticed that when Mrs Leavitt,

abroad last spring they did not hunt up

Although she has lived through a love
