npulous dealers, mindful only of profit and caring
for the health of their patrons, are offering for
grade, impure whiskey, which they tell you is as
is Dufy's."
1t is cheap connection and fraud, intended
to deceive the people. OF course, when a
remedy has been before the public so long, has
been prescribed and used by the best doctors
and in all the prominent hospitals, and has
carried the blessing of health into so many
thousands of homes as Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey has, limitations arc bound to arise.
BSa bhey can initiate the 6Offls and label OHb-So
one can initiate ME confenkS.
Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely
pure distillation of matted grain; great care
being used TO have every kernel thoroughly
matted, thus destroying the germ and producing
predigested liquid food in the form of a malt
essence, which is the most effective tonic slim
ulant and invigorator known TO science; softened
by warmth and moisture, its paatability and
freedom from injurious substances render It so
that it can be retained by the most sensitive
stomach.

VERDICT SOON RETURNED
Former Supervisor Cofey of San
Francisco Found Guilty of Ao-
cepting a Bribe.

San Francisco, Feb. 17.-After DELHI
Grating for thirty minutes, the Jury in
the case of Former Supervisor Michael
W. Coffey, indicted on a charge of re-
ceiving a bride of $4,000 to vote for a
trolley franchise for the United Rail-
roads, returned a verdict of guilty
shortly after noon today. Three ballots
were taken by the jury, which stood
eleven for conviction and one for ac-

ANOTHER BILL NECESSARY
Appropriation Bill Provides a Salary
Of $4,000 a Year for Mr.. Knox
in Case He Becomes Secretary.

Washington, Feb. 17.-While the
house was discussing the conference re-
port on the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill today Gem
eral Kiefer of Ohio discovered that not
withstanding the action of both houses
of congress in passing a bill repeating
the law fixing the salary of the secre-
taTy of state at Sf2. 200 a year. the ap-
preparation bill provides a salary of
$4,000 for that official for the next
fiscal year. The announcement created
a mild sensation. 1t was at once sug-
gested that the bill should be sent back
to conference, and a long debate en-
sued as to the proper course to be
taken.
There being no dispute between the
two houses over the $4,000 salary as it
appeared in the bill, parliamentarians
claimed that neither the house nor the
conferees can amend the provision, and
the resolution may have to be effected
by another joint resolution.
Further consideration of the confer
ence report on the appropriation bill
was finally postponed until tomorrow
by vote of 139 to III.

immediate creation by congress of per-
manent tariff commission was voiced to-
day in resolutions adopted by the Ma
