CONFEDERATE BONDS.
That Were Issued by the Different
 States.

That Were Issued by the Different
 States.
 A special cablegram from London to The New York Sun says that The Lon don Financial News prints a letter from a correspondent urging the justice of this Government paying the bonds Of the late Southern. Confederacy. The writer says that over $200,000.000 of these bonds are deposited within a square of the Mansion House. The correspondent says that the Southern States never repudiated these bonds, but are simply prevented from paying them by act of Congress. He argues that the anger which prompted the burning of the cotton deposited as se- curity for the bonds and the passing of an act rendering reparation to the bondholders illegal, should by this time have been appeased The North ac- knowledged the South as de facto government by the exchange of pris- oners and other acts which are usual between countries at war. For this reason, the correspondent says the United States should now "as an act of grace. as an earnest of increased am ity between the United States and Great Britain, permit the South to do what 1t can toward an amicable settle ment of the debt"
 The Financial News tersely com ments on the letter by expressing the opinion that a person who bought chances for repayment of these bonds at 1 cent per dollar would be guilty

 Colorado Springs Telegraph.
 -- Harry. +. Davidson passed to his last rest yesterday afternoon. MT David son came to Colorado about eight years ago, and engaged first in the insurance business, and afterwards became a partner in the firm of Adams. Davidson & Co., which was in the real estate in- surance and loan business. In all his business transactions. MT. Davidson was the soul of honor, and enjoyed the respect and confidence of all those with whom he came into contact. For the last few years i'll health had compelled him to abandon business.
 Mir. Davidson came to Colorado from Alabama, his native State. and had all the true courtesy, kindliness, geniality and cordiality characteristic of the South. He came here for his health and no soldier ever showed more true courage and fortitude than did he in his continual struggle to regain what he had lost. Always cheerful, always in his kind interest in the life of his friends, a devoted husband and father ever courteous and full of charity, with never an unkind or harsh word for anyone, his life was a lesson and help to all those privileged to know him. His friends, and all who knew him were such, mourn his death, but feel that their own lives have been made hap pier and better by their acquaintance with his life.

REPORTED OPP POSTMASTER.
J. R. Ryland Complains of Treatmen Received.

NCCChtCus
 Jack Ryland, a well-known Mont gomery drummer, has preferred charges against A. B. Windom, postmaster of Opp.
 MT. Ryland, few days ago, was on a train en route to Evergreen. When he passed Opp he stepped off the train to buy some stamps to put on a letter. He hurried to the postoffice and found it closed. Returning to the station he met a man alleged to be WindOm, the postmaster of Opp. who Is said to have had a complete outfit of stamps and a device for cancelling them before put ting them on the train.
 MT. Ryland bought a 50-cent stamp book. He was given l cent change.
 He alleges that the postmaster left the station and then came back, claim ing that he had received no pay for the stamps.
 MT. Ryland protested that he had paid the postmaster. and asked him to look in a certain pocket for the 50-cent piece.
 Words followed, in which MT. Ryland used an epithet. He was ordered arr rested by the postmaster and the town marshal standing near by executed the orders.
 MT. Ryland says that he had little time and wanted to settle the matter immediately. The marshal told him he would have to see the Mayor, and re- ferred him to the postmaster, who 1t appeared, was Chief Executive of the town.
 MT. Ryland was compelled to pay out over $5. He has reported the incident to the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.

OFFICIALS OF JACKSON.
Probate Judge Cargiie Criticized In R
 Port of Examiner.

Probate Judge CarGfte Crfttctscu m ne-
 Pert of Examiner.
 Assistant State Examiner. W. F. Wilkinson made a report to Acting Governor Cunningham yesterday on the books of Jackson County officials. A criticism was made Of the methods of bookkeeping practised by Judge of Probate. c. L. Cargile. His conduct of
 the office for the year of 1904 was found proper except in keeping the tax abstract book, which the law requires him to make from the tax assessors book.
 Judge Cargile should have delivered such book complete to the tax col lector by October 1, 1904. Instead, however, it was delivered with only the assessments on 1908 taxes for twenty four beats in the county, whereas there are thirty-six beats.
 From the abstract book the tax col- lector Is supposed to make up his stubs. and tax receipts for the col- lections of taxes. The tax collector was in the end compelled to employ help in making out the stubs and had he depended on the abstract book alone, twelve beats would have escaped taxes.
 All the money belonging to the State, however, has been collected except the redemption of a small piece of land bought in by the State and afterwards | sold. the taxes on which amounted to $5.04.
 The books of the following other
 Jackson County officers were found cor | rectly kept: M. L. Prince, tax assessor;
 J. A. Ridley. tax collector, and D. O. | Austin, sheriff. The books of Circuit Court Clerk, F. | D. Hurt, received only the criticism | that he had failed to issue executions | in cases in which the State had paid
 costs. The executions were issued dur
 ing the visit of the assistant exami- ner.

PUTTING IT STRONG.
But Doenn,t It Look ReasonabIeF

This may read as though we were putting it little strong, because 1t is generally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is incurable or practically so. Rut we have long since shown that Dyspepsia Is curable, nor is 1t such a difficult matter as 1t first appears.
 The trouble with Dyspeptics Is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves or going to the opposite extreme or else delugtng the already over burdened stomach with "bitters' after dinner pills" etc. which invari- ably increase the difficultY even if Iu some cases they do give a slight tenn porary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse What the stomach wants is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested. recuperated and a tthe same time the body nourished and sustained?
 This Is a great secret and this Is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is comparatively new remedy but its sue cess and popularity leave no doubt as 10 its emrit.
 The Tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of conditions of stom- acn. The sufferer from Dyspepsia, &C., cording to directions, is to eat an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before anI after each meal and the result will be the food will be digested no matter how bad your Dyspepsia may be. because, as be- fore stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly in- active. To illustrate our meaning plainly, if you take 11,SO0 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place 1t in a temperature of 9S degrees and put with 1t one of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was enclosed within the stomach.
 The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourlshed and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of Dyspep- sia will be made because the much extent much h-needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of all tho many remedies advertised to cure Dys- pepsIa none of them have given so com plete and general satisfaction as Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and not least In importance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheap est and give the most good for the least money
