A MILD CASE

OF Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. It is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for a long time.
Because the disease Is slow In devel-
opine does not indicate that the case is
q mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect ali alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
ee1ored biotches, loss Of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this n1iser-
able disease. When the poison Is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all It's hideousness, we call
It bad case; but Contagious Blood Pol
son. whether working internally or exfer-
nally, Is a dangerous. treacherous disease.
5. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly tzd
permanently. 1t Is an antidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruptious, sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin eruptions, but In so doing drive
the poison furtherinto the system, where
It slu1nbers for time, but comes back
again with redouhled fury.
S. S. S. Is vegetable remedy that has
been used successfully for years In treat.

VENERABLE MISSOURI STATES
MAN WATCHES CLOCK TICK
AWAY PUBLIC CAREER
Mr.. VESTS LAST DAY OF SERVICE.
Democrats and Republicans Cordially
Grasp His Hand as He Passes
From the Senate Chamber
For the Last Time.

WASHINGTON, March AT 11:30
to-day Senator Vest entered the SEN
ate chamber for the last time as a
member, after continuous and most
distinguished service Of "a quarter Of a
century.
The Senator leaned on the arm OF
Doorkeeper Jim Edwards, Of Missouri
and walked TO his accustomed seat
near the Democratic cloak room.
Some friends had sent him bou-
quet Of Jonquils, which lay on his
desk, a farewell gift in honor of the
close OF long and honorable service
in the highest of legislative bodies.
WATCHED THE CLOCK.
The, Senator's right hand rested on
these flowers as he followed with in
terest, but in musing way. the pro-
ceedings Of the expiring Senate and
watched the circling hands of the
historic Senate clock as they approach
ed the hour OF bis release from public
cares.
In the oyercrowded galleries there
were many inquiries as to the desk Of
the distinguished Missourian, and
hundreds Of eyes were turned In that
direction.
The Senator took no part In the final
proceedings, nor was there need; the
Senate In a listless way waited for the
gayel to close the life u this Con-
gress.
AS soon as final adjournment was
declared, Senator Vest was surround
ed by many Of The leaders, Democrats
and Republicans, who cordially wished
him good rest and happiness In his
retirement to private life.
FRYE's COOP WISHES.
Among these was President pro
TEN Frye, Of Maine, who for p years
has been an associate in the Senate,
and a colleague on the leading COM
mittees. Although strong partisans,
the two Senators have been warm
friends and admirers for many years.
Political differences were forgotten in
the warm expressions Of friendship
that were exchanged to-day.
One after another, the Senators
grasped Mr.. Vests hand and bade
him a cordial adieu as he passed out Of
the chamber for the last time
Senator Stone has arrived in the
city and will be sworn In Thursday,
when the Senate meets In extra ses-
sion. He is byno means astranger at
the Capitol and has many friends in
both houses.
NO DEFINITE PLANS.
Mr.. Vest will remain In Washington
indefinitely. He win rest for time
and then make plans for the future.
Following bis usual custom, problbly
he will go to the mountains or sea-
shore at the beginning Of the heated
term. He has comfortable home in
Washington and, If bis health per-
mits, he may take one Of several flat
tering offers TO undertake some spe-
eial literary work
His health is fair, but he is not
strong, and his future engagements
will Of necessity depend on his physi-
cal condition. His eyes have given
him some trouble, but he has been
benefited somewhat by special treat
ment.
OF the retiring Senators, Mr.. Vest
easily holds first rank, and more In
terest has been felt in his departure
from the Senate than In that OF any
other member In recent years.

A Party Wall Suit.

A suit at law was filed today by Thos.
c. Noyes against William w. Souder to
recover for the use of a party wall of a
building owned by the plaintiff and located
in the county of Washington. The case, 1t
is explained, involves the important and
much disputed question to whether the
building regulations concerning party walls
are applicable outside of the city of Wash
ington.
The building regulation governing the
erection of party walls, it is stated. was
promulgated by George Washington in the
year 1871. but was made to apply only
within the city limits The power of the
Commissioners or even of Congress to ex-
tend these regulations concerning party
walls to the county of Washington is de-
MED by many on the ground that it is I'M
constitutional because. it is asserted, 1t
would be taking private property without
due process of law. The plaintiff is repre-
scented by Attorneys Jesse c.. Adkins and
Daniel w. O'Donoghue.
