Lots of It in Alaska But Daily Crow

Toe kidneys often cry for help.
 Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed.
 Not one more important to health
 The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
 When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there Is poisoned blood.
 Backache is one ot the frequent indications of kidney trouble.
 It Is often the kidneys cry for help. Heed it.

Minot, N. D., July 19.-President
Edmund Pennington and the local
agent of the 500 Line, J. G. Belanger,
faced the charge brought against
them jointly by Dan Brennan, assist

North Dakota, in Justice A. B. DilIs

district court on charge of boot

charge of importing intoxicating H.

Mr.. Pennington came through the
city on a tour of inspection and ar
rived herb at $50 last evening. Court
was called Immediately and the ses-
sion held in the local offices Of the
500 Line. Attorney Brennan ap-
peared for the state and the attor-

the sum of $1,000 in each case ready.
Justice Dill stated that he did not
care to ask for bonds, but Penning-

and the bonds were filed. After the
hearing Attorney Brennan made the
following statement:
"Press reports stating the charge

chemists and bacteriologists were
preparing today to inoculate guinea
pigs with cultures obtained from spec
linen courtplaster, believed to be i'm
pregnated with tetanus germs, and
alleged by the authorities to have
been distributed throughout Kansas

plunge the state into an epidemic of

Whether the alleged plot was be-
lieved to have been of Germanic orr
gin was not disclosed by the attorney
general of Kansas, in charge of the
investigation. Their identity has not
been disclosed nor has the place of
their detention been announced. The
latter move was declared to have

PRINCES :
ARMY SUFFERS
RUDE SHOCK
French Recapture All Important
Positions Lost Northwest
of Verdun
500 GERMANS CAPTURED;
LOSSES VERY HEAVY

French Front in France, July 1S.-
The crown princes army suffered the
rudest shock, when the French yes
terday recaptured all the positions
northwest of Verdun. These cost the
Germans much hard fighting when
they took them from the French.
The affair cost the Germans not only
the loss of their former conquest and
about 800 prisoners, but the French
crept into their lines and repeated
counter attacks by the Germans fail
ed to recover any part thereof and
resulted in more losses The Ger
mans, when they advanced a, the
end of June, obtained possession Of
a number of observatories, giving
them splendid views of the French
lines. The Germans have been eX-
pectirg for several days that the
French would try to shell them out,
but did not expect an infantry at
tack.
Delay Movement.
The French were obliged to delay
the movement, owing to Dad weather,
but the continuance of the heavy
bOmbardment caused the Germans
such losses that they were obliged to
take the tent reserve positions, and
some of the companies have been re-
duced to so men each. The 29th di-
vision replaced it, supported by the
18th division, composed Of fresh
troops, brought from the Russian
front.
1t was while relief was proceeding
that the French attack surprised the
enemy by appearing in their trench
es, while the .5ombardment was pro-
ceeding. The French battalions were
greatly animated. In a few seconds
they had surmounted the object sep
arating the army and appeared down
on the other side. Before the Ger
mans could recover the French were
within the German third line The
enemy disorder was so great, the
French were able to gather many
prisoners and dash even further for
ward than they intended, and they
occupied ground 300 yards front. on

St. Paul, Mimi, July 19.-The, au-

said Sergeant Langford. "The Ger
