VOL: IX- THE DALLES, OREGON, WENDESDAY, APEIL 1. 1896. NO SLOWLY STRANGLED Sickening Spectacle Wit nessed in Havana. FIVE CUBANS PUCLICLY EXECUTED Torture Inflicted on the Victims by Bungling Executioners--President Clnero' M anifeato. Havana, March 31. Never in modern times has there been a more sickening spectacle than that which today attend ed the public execution of the five Cubans condemned to death by the garrote, "as murderers, violators and incendiaries." The troops were drawn up in a hollow square and in the middle were placed a chait and post. Raise, the public executioner, had deputized his assistants to conduct the affair. The condemned men were brought into the square to meet their fate. One had confessed bis guilt and affirmed the innocecne of all the others, who also protested they were guiltless. The first man took bis seat in the chair calmly, the iron collar was fixed about bis neck and the cap was drawn over his face. The execntioner undertook to ap ply the screw, but was so excited that bis hand slipped repeatedly. The victim died by slow strangulation, emitting the most distressing cries. The second execution was accom plished with even more distressing awk wardness, the executioner being almost on the verge of collapse. The protests of the officers and priests forced Ruiee to undertake the third exe cution, but he did little better than bis assistant had done. Rnise then literally fled from bis post, leaving his assistants to put to death the fifth unfortunate Cuban, who Buffered the same agonizing experiences as his fellows. POLITICS IN OREGON.

Hypnotism in Medicine. The Journal of the American Medical Association has an editorial, the general trend of which is to show that hyp notism has had its day and is practical ly being laid upon the shelf, or, at least, its use confined to irreg-u! are outside of the recognized school of medicine. This is a rather curious statement to make, at least if one measures the interest of a medical topic by the number of arti cles written about it. There are few subjects upon which German physi cians are writing more monograms at present or in which they seem to take a more active interest. The sensational side of hypnotism is certainly dying out, but a certain practical side, which is represented by the word "sugges tion," has undoubtedly come to stay and to be used in therapeutics. Early Piety. T. L. Moody, the evangelist, told a story in Philadelphia recently about his life before his conversion, when a boy of 17. He said that while he was a pretty "bad boy in his unregenerate days, deep in the follies and errors of the world, he never broke so far away from his early religious training as to forget to say ihis prayers every night. "1 used to sleep with my brother," he said, "and if either one of us happened to jump into bed without first getting on his knees, the other would swear at him vigorously and kick him out on the floor."
