Chills and fever, chronic dyspepsia, torpid and enlarged liver, kidney troubles, jaundice and biliousness are frequently due to that invisible foe, Malaria. Noxious gases and unhealthy matter collect in the system because | the liver and kidneys fail to act, and are poured into the blood current until it becomes so polluted and sluggish that the poisons literally break through the skin, and carbuncles, boils, abscesses, ulcers and various eruptions of an indolent character appear, depleting the system, and threatening life itself, The germs and poisons that so oppress and weaken the body and destroy the life-giving properties of the blood, rendering it thin and watery, must be overcome and carried out of the system before the patient can hope to get rid of Malaria and its effects. serious internal troubles in China Mr, Conger’s first aiviec bears date of August 6, from Pekin, and he re- ports serious anti-foreign riots near Chentu, in province of Szechuan, in which a number of native Christians had been massacred and chapels de- stroyed, Mr. Conger addressed a note to Prince Ching at the foreign office stating that there were several American missionaries and many chapels and convents in Seechuan and that it was necessary that im- mediate provision be taken to stamp out these trouble at their very in- ception, The foreien ottice replied that sev- eral edicts have been issued directing the viceroy to suppress the trouble. It had received a telegram from that official stating that the rebel Hsiung Ching He of Jeu Chou Hsian made his appearance suddenly at the head ofa mob and burned a chapel and some thirty odd houses early in that moonand also killed a christian: Other outrages were also committed whereupon the viceroy dispatched troops to the scene who killed some ands.

Des Moines, 20.—Speaker Henderson refuses to reconsider his Sept, decision not to stand for re-election to congress. This announcement is contained in a telegraphic answer to a request wired him by Lafe Young Rathbun, After stating that his decision is final, the speaker says: “Leannot acquiesee in administer- ing the free trade poison to cure the trust evil, which I abhor.” Washington, Sept. 20.—Speaker Henderson's withdrawal on account of the tariff-trust question fell like a bombshell in political circles here. Republicans are dismayed, for if Henderson has sincerely stated his reason for his action, a wide’spht, of utmost importance in the congres sional elections, is evident. Democrats are jubilant for the same reason, and moreover, because they believe that Henderson's action insures the election of ex-Governor Horace Boies, his Democratic oppo- nent.

Z The Massachusetts Democrats Rejected George Fred Williams and 16 to 1. Boston, Sept. 21.—At the demo- cratic state convention here yester- day, George Fred Williams, the rep- resentative of the silver democrats was turned down as a Massachusetts leader. William A. Gaston was nom- inated for governor, The minority report for “free silver’’ was utterly defeated on the floor and the major- ity report was adopted by an over- whelming majority. In this battle Mr. Williams was utterly routed, with the predicted re- sult that he is shorn of all power of leadership. The platform adopted is a repudiation of the Kansas City platform, for Mr. Gaston refused to be the nominee if in any way the dec- laration of principles could be con- strued to indorse those things most prominently advocated by the party in the last two cumpaigns. It might be suid that in naming Colonel Gaston to head the ticket precedent was shattered, inasmuch as he was nominated and then given a platform of his own dictation. The ticket was as follows: For governor, William A. Gaston, of Boston; lieu- tenant governor, John C, Crosby, of Pittsfield; secretary of state, Will- more B. Stone, of Springfield; treas- urer, Thomas ©. Thacher, of Yar- mouth; auditor, J. L. Chalifoux, of Loweli; attorney general, John J. Flaherty of Gloucester. Kills a Masked Burglar. Ford Cit , Pa., Sept. 18.—Charles Andrews, of St. Louis, was killed by Carl Richards this morning after a struggle at the Allegheny Valley Rail- road Station, Andrews was masked and had ordered the station agent to throw up his hands. Richards struck the intruder in the face, grap- pled with him, and both rolled onthe floor. Andrews shot at Richards, the bullet glancing. alongside his head, cutting part of his right ear off. Richards wrested the revolver from Andrews and shot him in the side, killing him instantly. __Andrews was known as the “ burglar,” having just completed a sentencein the Western Penitentiary. At his trial he conducted his own his home was in St. Louis. card in their hands. One of the lead- ing Republican representatives with- draws rather than take action which in popular opinion would do much to curb the trusts. He withdrawsto private life rather than attack them even in that small particular. Secretary Edwards, of the Demo- eratic congressional campaign com- mittee, said: “The withdrawal of Henderson at this time is worth 25 seats to us in the next house. It shows that the Republicans do not care to stand up and face the issues presented. Gov- ernor Boies will be elected by ahand- some majority.” Henderson was not popularamong many members of congress because heruled with-too strong a hand. The house, under his speakership, was the speaker, The average congress- man amounted to little, Henderson would have had a hard fight for re- election to the speakership under any circumstances, and it is predicted that his successor as presiding ofti- cer, be he Republican or Democrat, will not have the power Henderson had. Henderson’s withdrawal comes at the same time as the announcement that the political conference of lead- ing senators with the president at Oyster Bay had decided that the tarifi should not be tinkered with during the coming winter. The possibility of defeat by Boies and the possibility of defeat for the speakership are urged by Democrats as two reasons which impelled the speaker as strongly as did the one he states in his letter. Tragedy in Arkansas. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 20 —Rep- resentative C. L. Pool, of Calhoun county, was in the city to-night and related meager particulars of a bloody tragedy which occurred in the western part of Columbian county last night. Mr. Pool’s informant was unable to give the names of the parties, but related the facts about as follows: A citizen ol the county sold a tract of land for $800 cash Monday, and two of his neighbors, being aware of thetransaction, went to hishome the following evening and proposed an opossum hunt. Not suspecting any harm, the man who had the $300 in his house departed with his neigh- bors. Soon afterward a peddler drove up to the house and requested lodging for the night. The house- wife, thinking her husband would soon return from his hunt, told the peddler to take his team to the barn and return to the house, which he did in ashort time. When he reach- ed the dwelling he found what ap- to be two negro men inside, He Declares the North Pole Can be Reached. Sidney, N. S., Sept. 18.—The are- tic relief ship Windward, with Lieut. and Mrs. Peary on board, arrived here this morning. Lieut, Peary, after having pushed into the arctic again without having discovered the pole. He, however went further north than ever before. On his previous journey Peary reached latitude S33 degrees 27 minutes. This: time he got to latitude 84 degrees 17) min- utes, or within 343 miles of the pole, A degree of latitude is sixty nautical miles and a minute is one mile. This record of Peary’s has been excelled by but two explorers. Nansenreach- ed latitude 86,14, and Capt. Cagni of the Abruzzi expedition reached lati- tude 86.33. Lieut. Peary says that the pole can be reached from Franzjosetland, and from Grantiand, in latitude 8% degrees, If the winter quarters sre established as far north as possible. He says that he would just as soon winter at Cape Hetla as at Sabine or Etah. A reception was tendered to Lieut, Peary by citizens of Sidney to-night. The hall in which the reception was held was filled with a representative gathering of leading men and women of the town, and the great explorer was given an ovation when he ap- peared on the platform with Mayor The mayor, introducing Lieut. Peary, expressed the strong Crowe. had accomplished by the people of Canada, and paid a high tribute to the ability and courage shown by Lieut. Peary in his work. In reply Lieut. Peary spoke beau- tifully of his work in the north, and gave allcredit to the Arctic club, “The pole can be discovered,” he | said, “and will be discovered in a few | years. I wish that I was in a posi- tion to continue the work and make the discovery.” PEARY'S LAST DASH, sidney, B.
