Regiments Almost Entirely Annihilated.

LONDON, March 14. In his despatch General Kuropatkin refers to the losses sustained by the Russian forces, and mentions that two regiments in particular, were almost en- tirely lost, the survivors numbering 150 and 619 respectively.

From February 28 to March 1 the number of Russian wounded sent north was 47,581.

The Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and. Godown Company was summoned, at the Magistracy, this morning, before Mr H. H. J. Gompertz for causing an obstruction on the Praya East. The defendants ad- mitted the offence and it was stated the ob- struction was caused by about 50 casks of cement which were left so close to the tramline as to leave little room for the cars to pass along. The cement was being un- loaded from a steamer in the harbour, which had 30,000 casks of cement originally in tended for Port Arthur, on board. The cement was being conveyed on shore by

and being carried away by coolies. About lighters at the rate of about 4,000 per day two hundred thousand men.

250 coulies were, engaged and the trouble was occasioned by the second batch of coo lies not taking the casks on quickly enough.

A fine of $10 was imposed.

The present heavy fog which has enfolded in its grip and shat out from view the

Of several tribe groups in exis. tence, say, six or seven thousand years ago, some may have been cireless of, or indiffe. rent to tradition; others may have gree dily gathered and scrupulously handed down all the myths and stories their olders could impart; a few might take the fancy of separating the religious anyths from the tangible facts in time certain seleet tribes would gradually conceive the notion of aiding the memory by notches upon trees, knuts upon cords, marks upon portable tallies or arrows. Pictures and heiroglyphics thus came into vogue, and the ers of records commenced.

If you have any of the above symptoms, your kidneys are either clogged or diseased, and these symptoms are warnings of more serious troubla to follow-Bright's disease, dropsy, or diabetes.

Whatever you do, whatever you think your disease is, look well to your kidneys at the first sign of anything wrong. Give them just the aid they require, in Doan's backache kidney pills, the great Quaker kidney medicine, and see how well and fit you feel after even a few doses. Their effect is marvellous and lasting.

Doan's backache kidney pills are a certain cure for all forms of kidney trouble. They instantly rollove the congested, overworked kidneys, and gradually bring them back to health. Their whole action is on the kid- neys and bladder--not on the bowls-and by doing one thing they do that one thing

well.

For 72 years Doan's backache kidney pill have been in use, and they are the first medicine in the world for kidney and

bladder troubles.
