WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
 and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work night and day. When heal thy they remove about 800 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of the impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many dis eases and symptoms-pain in the back headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin rheumatism, gout, gravel disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, l, regular heart, debility, drowsness dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 G. M. Goodhue, Bisbee, Ariz., says: "I suffered severely from kidney trou. ble. My back ached as badly at night as during the day and when I got up in the morning, l was lame and stiff. If l took cold, it settled in my kidneys, and then my trouble became worse. con. suited physicians, but they were unable to help me. Finally Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice and I procured a box. They gave relief in twenty-four hours and I was thus led to continue their use until completely cured. 1 am glad to state that I have not suffered from kidney trouble since. :"

Verdict Found by Jury Af- ter Eighteen Hours of
 Deliberation
TORRANCE JOHNSON
 ALSO FOUND GUILTY
Potpourli of Little Things Disposed of By District
 Court Yesterday

After deliberating for nearly eight cen hours, the jury in the case of Alduro Collins, charged with assault with in, tent to commit murder on Jess Tender. son, returned verdict of guilty of simple assault, shortly before noon yes terday.
 Collins waived time for judgment and was sentenced to three months in the county jail, together with a fine of $500.
 After having been out all night, the Collins jury appeared in court yester. day morning and asked to be dis. charged, by reason of the fact that a verdict could not be agreed upon.
 The court declined to grant the re. quest and sent the panel back to the jury room for further deliberation Shortly before noon the compromise yer. dict was brought in.
 Johnson Guilty
 Torrance Johnson, eOlored, charged with having had improper relations with Lillie smith, young negro girl, was found guilty yesterday afternoon. The evidence was strong against the accused and verdict of guilty was re- turned after a short deliberation.
 Johnson will be sentenced this morn ing. He claims 10 be a cousin of Jack Johson, the negro pugilist.
 Trial Waived
 Sam DobrOvieh, charged with grand larceny, pleaded guilty to the indict- ment, yesterday morning.
 Sentence was imposed at once, Dob. rovich being ordered committed to the territorial prison for two years, sen tence to date from July 25, last.
 Jail Sentences
 John and Nick Midigovich, who pleaded guilty to charge of conceal ing property with intent to defraud creditors, escaped with light sentences. They were sent to jail for five months, but as sentence dates from September II, they will have less than three months to serve out.
 Charges Dismissed
 Clarence Langford and Eugene Jones, charged with stealing calf belonging to Fred Horse, escaped without trial. In the opinion of District Attorney Shute there was insufficient evidence against the boys to secure a conviction and upon his motion, they were dis charged.
 Today's Calendar
 The following cases were set for trial today:
 R. G. owens, forgery; J. s. King, grand larceny Guadalupe Rodriguez, burglary; Tom Polk, grand larceny; F. J. Graham, misdemeanor appealed from the justice court and Frank Kichak- ava, assault with deadly weapon. It is probable that the bulk of the criminal work on the calendar will be cleaned up this week, in preparation for a big collection of civil jury trials, which will follow next week.
 According to all indications. the pres ent term of court will not be completed before the first of the year.

 The resignation of Justice Burnett Goodwin of Christmas was accepted, but no successor was named.
 Roads Discussed
 A general discussion relative to the improvement of local roads occupied a good portion of yesterday afternoon < session.
 County Surveyor Howard Wayne was present and the feasibility of surveying out the road between Globe and San Carlos was taken up with him.
 Owing to the fact that the survey will be expensive, by reason of the fact that good portion tof the distric through which the road will pass has never been surveyed to any extent, ii is probable that nothing will be done toward the improvement of this road unti the surveying party of the ter ritorial engineer can be secured to do the necessary work.

MONEY FACTS

Little Known Points About Worlds
Medium of Exchange.
While the first actual coming OF
money Is attributed to Pheidon, King
of Argos, in 1876 B. c., it must not be
supposed that there had not existed
a keen appreciation Of the value and
uses of money for centuries previous
to the Introduction Of coinage. The
ancient Egyptians had gold and sill
yer standard of currency, and their
money was in the form Of gold and
silver ornaments, rings and nuggets,
the purchasing power Of which depend
ed on the weight.
The Greeks improved somewhat on
this system by first marking the weight
on gold and silver nuggets SO that 1t
would no longer be necessary to re-
weigh them every time they were to be
used for purposes of exchange or trade.
Then came the introduction of gold, sill
yer and copper nuggets Of graded uni
was the moulding and stamping of discs
made from the precious metals.
Some Of these first coins were enor-
nous, the Idea apparently being to dis
courage the greedy from attempting to
accumulate and carry around too many
Of them. There were copper coins as
large as dinner plates. While the idea
was based on excellent motives, 1t had
to give way before the demand for
smaller and more convenient forms of
dwindled in size to meet the popular
demand
The earliest trace of the use of gold
as money is to be found In the pictures
Of the ancient Egyptians weighing in
scales heaps of rings of gold and sill
yer. There is no actual record, how
ever, that these rings were what may
be termed coins with a fixed value.
Iron, judging from the statement OF
Aristotle, was once extensively EN-.
| served as money. In fact 1t still does
| so in Burmah.
Copper has been more widely EN-
| ployed as money than either of the two

brew coins were chiefly composed OF

man coinage was an alloy of copper
