Washington, Deo. 11.—Numerous conferences were held at the capital relating to the president’s message to congress and his recommendations concerning the secret serrice, in wihlch he used language which is ob jected to by senators and representa- tlres. The last of theee conferences was at the office of Speaker Cannon and was attended by the speaker and Senators Aldrich and Hale. It was practically decided that a resolution should be Introduced In the house today, providing for the ap pointment of a committee to consider the recommendations made for a res toration of the law regarding the se cret service and also to take account of the expressions in the message which were offensive to members of congress. Indications point now to no action by the senate on the meeeage until after the house special committee has had an opportunity to Investigate the entire matter. At a conference at the senate end of the capitol there were a number of republican senators present who have always been ready to defend any criti cism made of the president. They an nounced their decided opposition to suggestions which had been made that aB that part of the presMent’s mes sage which has given offense should be expunged from the record. At the Mime time, they annotmeed that they would not oppose any resolution pro viding for an Investigation by the ap propriations committee of the amend ment adopted last year.

Puxioo, Mo., Dec. 10.—Four daught ers were born yesterday to Prof. Reuben F. Jones, head of the schools here and a school commissioner of Stoddard county. One baby died, but the others bid fair to thrive. Malaria is due to impurities and poisons in the blood. Instead of rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of thfe red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we see pale, sallow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria if a general systemic disease, and as the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its genus we have more serious and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a constant tired-out and “ no account ” feeling. The lack of necessary nour ishment and healthful qualities in the blood causes boils and abscesses, skin affections, and in some cases sores and ulcers to break out, and sometimes the patient is prostrated with a spell of malarial fever which may leave his health permanently impaired. To cure Malaria both a blood purifier and tonic are necessary, in order to remc . i the cause and at the same time build up the system from its weakened and run-down condition. S. S. S. is !he medicine best fitted for this wor. It is the most perfect of all blood ( rrifiers, and the purely vegetable ing iients of which it is composed make it the During 1M0 I was running a farm OQ tha Mississippi river and became so impreg nated with Malaria that for a Tear I was almost a physical wreck. I tried a number of medicines recommended as blood purifi ers, chill cures, and Malaria eradicated, but nothing did me any good until I began to use S. S. S. The result was that after taking it for awhile I was as well and strong as I ever was. I have never had a chill since nor the slightest symptom of Malaria. I hope other* will be benefited by my experience, and with that end in view I give this testimonial, knowing 8. 8. 8. is the best remedy for Malaria. Amory, Mias. 8. R. COWLEY. Carnegie Before Tariff Commlttea. Washington, Dec. 10.—Andrew Oar- negiw was subpoenaed yesterday to ap pear before the house ways and means committee, to testify in the tariff re vision hearings being conducted by the committee. greatest and safest of all tonics. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impnrity or poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it removes the germs and poij ons which produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every part of the system. When S. S. 8. has cleansed the blood the symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to the complexion, the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and the entire health is renewed.
