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.

Oregon Weather.
Oregon City, March 31." Ice a quar
ter of an inch thick formed on water out
of doors last night. While peach and
cherry trees were in full bloseom, it can
not yet be told whether the freeze had
destroyed this year's crop. At Logan
and throughout the Springwater foot
hills enow was four inches deep yester
day morning. No great damage is re
ported from that section however.

mometer registered 25 degrees above
zero this morning, and there was ice on
everything. Most of the fruit in bloom
was killed.
Dayton, Or., March 31. The severe
frosts of the past three mornings have
caused the " fruit men to fear for the
safety of fruit trees that are now in blossom.-

another tonight.

the lodge last night, returning about

unhappy. y
, .Pigeon Messenger Service.
Washington, March -31. Secretary
Herbert added a novel chapter to our
naval strategic' tactics when heeigned an
order adopting the messenger-pigeon
service for coast defenses. Many hun
dreds of pigeons are shortly to be dis
tributed in groups among abont twenty
different points along the Atlantic coast.
Here they will be kept in coops and edu
cated to regard their new quarters as
permanent homes to which they will re
turn when liberated from vessels. Hav
ing thus domesticated them, they will
be placed aboard coasting vessels and
carefully trained to find their homes
without losing time. Their coops will
be placed in telegraphic communication
with Washington.
Registration Frauds.
Chicago, March 31. The board of
election commissioners today declared
that 45,000 of the 370,000 votes regis
tered for the coming spring election are
fraudulent. The commissioners dis
covered wholesale registration frauds in
nearly every ward. They say the num
ber of .names stricken from the lists is
greater than the total vote caet in Mon
tana, North Dakota, Delaware, Florida
and Nevada.
A Railroad Sold.
Seattle, March 31. Judge Hanford
today granted an order for the sale of
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern R. R.,
the sale to be made in this city on or
after May 16th next. The bondholders,
nnder the reorganization plan, will be

A Sad Case.
Chicago, March 31. A special from
Louisville says Mme. Dure Berlhel, a
leading contralto of Louisville, one of
the best known vocalists of the South,
has been stricken blind, and the proba
bilities are that the affliction will be
permanent.
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." '
While no physician or pharmacist can
scientionsly warrant a cure, the J. C
Ayer's Co. guarantee the turity, strength
ani medicinal virtues of Ayer's Sar
saparilla. It was the only blood-puri
fier admitted at the great world's fair in
Chicago 1893.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address :
