Details of the tortures and death of
Dir. Ricardo Ruiz, an American citizen
in prison in Havana, appears in daily
papers as special to the New York
Sun. 1t was horrible in the extreme
and should receive the immediate atten-
ton of the United States government
A resolution has been introduced in the
House by Gibson directing the Presi-
dent to demand of the Spanish authori-
ties in Cuba the immediate restoration to
liberty of every American citizen now
imprisoned by them in Cuba, to ac-
sonpany it by the presence of sufii-
eient number of the United States ships
of war to make the demand good. IL
the said demand ia not granted within "a
hours, the resolution directs that the
city of Havana and, If need be, other
parts of Cuba be bombarded, until said
demand is fully complied with. The re-
solution was referred to the committee
on foreign affairs. 1t certainly is true
that something ought to be done to pro-
tect the rights and the lives of American
citizens in Cuba, If but 1.-THE of the re-
ports of the outrages are true.

Governor Powers reception at the
State House, Tuesday, was very largely
attended by people from all parts of the
State. The weather was not proptious,
otherwise the attendance would have
been even larger than it was. The State
House was artistically decorated for the
occasion, and music was furnished by
Pullen's orchestra. The reception and
ball given by the citizens of Augusta
in City hall was largely attended and of
course, successful, these biennial events

The Bank Is Safe.
The rumors circulating around town
last Thursday in regard to Taylor's bank
were entirely without foundation, and were
probably set afloat by some malicious per-
son. The bank is not shaky. Mr.. Taylor
has no idea of taking journey. There
has been no loss and no embezzlement.
We were one of the committee of three
called in to count the cash and look over
the books, and we found things all o. K.
When Mr.. Taylor opened his bank four
years ago, he was given to understand that
If the institution failed or the banker skip
ped out there would be a hanging He
began business under that policy, and is
still continuing it. he is making money,
and is satisfied. And we may add that he

A few weeks ago we referred to James
Davidson of Lone Jack as a man who
would look well dangling at the end of a
rope and wondered why the vigilance COM
mittee of that town had not taken the same
view of the matter. 1t seems that Mr..
Davidson Is a sensitive man, and instead
Of getting out of the country or commit
ting suicide he employed a lawyer to sue us
for 500, 600 damages. The lawyer arrived
In Giveadam Gulch one day last week and
hunted us up and offered to settle the case
for sos, 900 cash on the nail. He was talk
ing to us with two guns strapped to his
body and his right hand behind him, but
at a favorable moment we got the drop on
him and stood him up against the wall.
Then we asked him TO scale his figures
down, and in the course of five minutes he
had dropped from 500, 200 to $4,000 He
stuck there minute and then dropped to
80, 600. We then explained the policy we
had always pursued in such matters and
he went down to So, 900, 81, 900 and finally
halted at $500. We still held our gun on
him, however, and five minutes later he
asked US out to drink and gave us q receipt
In full and seemed glad to wind up the
affair in that way. On our part we agreed
to say that perhaps Mr.. Davidson wouldn't t
look well dangling at the end of rope,
and we have said it and hope he is satisfied.

Bottled Up!

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctors prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up and poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to pair OF
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones,-ac con-
dition truly horrible.
