Mr.. James Gwatldn. now Of Ne" York,
formerly Of Richmond, has had repuo-
lisheG in reduced form the Ludwig litho-
graph Of the bail-bond OF eX-President
jefferson Davis. 1t is rather more than
doubtful If this Autograph. first published
by c. l.. Ludwig. is a fac-simile Ohe
original was stolen from the court re-
cords: but it is popularity accepted as
such, and is quite an interesting paper
The bond in question was given in the
United States Circuit Cour. in this city
on the Sth of November. 1861. and among
those who became sureties for Mr. Davis
appearance for trial were Gerrit Smith
Horace Greeley. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Au-
gustus Schell. Horace +. Clark, y.
Welsh and about dozen of the wealth.
est citizens OF Richmond. But Mr.. Da-
vis's case was never called for trial.
The government dared not risk verdict.

Does not the Dispatch remember that in
the first inaugural address Of President
Cleveland he declared himself opposed to
"a second term" 1.-The Lynchburg Ad-
vance.
Wasn't II in his letter OF acceptance?
At any rate, he wrote as follows in that
letter. August is, 1884:
When We consider the patronage OF
this great office. the allurements Of pow
er. the temptations to retain public place
once gained and more than all, the avail
ability a party finds in an incumbent
when a horde Of officeseekers with a
zeal born of benefits received. and fostered

A DANGEROUS IDEA

TO imagine that pills can strike at the
root OF these diseases II has been
thoroughly proved that such remedies
are worse than useless. There IS only
one remedy which can always be de-
pended upon. This remedy alone can
act on the liver and Kidneys when they
are out Of order. clear ont the system
and build up the health The name OF
this remedy is Warmers Safe Cure.
II is the only standard remedy in the
world for kidney and liver complaints.
II is the only remedy which physicians
universally prescribe. 1t is the only rem
edy that is backed by the testimony OF
thousands whom it has relieved and
cured.
There is nothing else that can take
its place.

What the Beautiful Girl Her

Surprising Story of the Daugh-

How She Excited the Curiosity
of All Her Friends.

One Of the best known and most inter.
esting men in Brooklyn, n. Y Sis Profess
sor j. NJ. Elwood, residing at 43 Cornelia
street. He is noted scholar and profess
scr. His charming daughter is a young
lady of most estimable character and has
hosts Of friends everywhere.
She became fearfully nervous and run
down and this was followed by a most Sc
we're attack of st. Vitus' dance She grew
worse and physicians could not cure her
She finally got well, however, by a method
which astonished all her friends
1T affords me the greatest pleasure
said the professor, 'to state that my
daughter, who was sufferer from ner-
vousness and st. Vitus dance, and who
was treated for same by prominent physic-
ians in Brooklyn without result, was COM
pletely cured by using two bottles of DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem

ely

Such strong evidence as this must con-
vince everybody of the genuine worth of
this great medicine. Mr.. Elwood's word
is as good as gold When he makes a
statement people know they can depend
upon it. Just such reliable statements
about DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy are constantly appearing,
and the people everywhere have the ut
most confidence in this wonderful medicine
They take it and perfect health results
The popular Miss Elwood thinks it is in
deed wonderful remedy when it will cure
what the skill of other physicians cannot
benefit
Why waste time in trying uncertain and
untried remedies, when here is a physic
ian's prescription, a discovery made by the
greatest living special t in curing nervous
and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of "a
Temple Place. Boston, Mass. If YOU take
this medicine you can consider yourself
under DR.. Greene's direct personal care,
and YOU can consult him or write to him
about your case, freely and without charge.
This is a guarantee that the remedy will
cure, possessed by no other medicine in the
world.

The Destitution in Nebraska.

Many People i'm the Southwestern Part

ity.
The restitution is extreme in ten coun-
ties of southwestern Nebraska, says a
newspaper correspondent who has just
returned from chat region. Two-thirds of
the people are dependent upon charity for
existence and there is almost no fuel. In
- counties no taxes have been collected
since June, and there is no money in the
county treasures to help the destitute
There is almost no water and no crops
were raised last season except in irrigated
districts. Many of the people live in sod
houses 1t is feared that many deaths
will be caused by the cold weather. The
people in the eastern part of Nebraska are
taking prompt measures for the relief of
the sufferers.
