REMITTANCES MUST BE SENT WITH ORDERS. ml vy A" nK ffuvJiff yi Tit ""'rr-rrr-f- '' r rT- 1 -- V - & -iy UMca Representative Wright of Stuart county, Georgia, has Introduced in the Georgia legislature a bill provid ing a penalty, for any woman who rides astride a horse. The hill ex empts circus riders. The author of the measure claims that he has tho support of the doctors of the state. Senator Cummins of Iowa says he will introduce in the senate a bill which will seek to remedy the de fects of tho commodities clause of the Hepburn law. The Cummins bill will be for the purpose of shutting railroads effectively out of the busi ness of coal mining, directly" or in directly, by prohibiting them from hauling coal from mines owned by them. Under the recent decision of the supreme court it is possible 'for a railroad to carry coal which comes from a mine' owned by a corporation in which it has shares of stock. It Is tho phrpose of Senator Cummins' bill to shut this off. The supreme court decision .allows a railroad to mine coal -and transport the coal so mined, providing it is sold to another party before the shipment begins. Senator Cummins says there is no Way of preventing, this and it is for the states to say whether railroad com panies shall be allowed to mine coal. Over this the federal government has no authority. o and heartily brothers. congratulated the General Henry C. Worthirigton, died at Washington, D. C. ' At one time he was a delegate in congress from the territory of Nevada. In, tho inquiry into the circum stances surrounding the- death by shooting' of Lieutenant Sutton, the government suddenly changed its at titude and -forced the1 -mother of tho dead lieutenant to become complain ant against several of the officers of the marine corps. Mrs. Sutton's at torney Insisted that her sole object was to clear her son's name and that it was not fair to put her in the position of accuser. Also, that the .government should take the. lead in the investigation. She was, how ever, overruled by the court. W. H. Hayward of Nebraska City, the vice chairman of the republican national committee, has been jnade chairman of 'the- repnblicanV state committee for Nebraska. v Governor Comer pf Alabama has recommended that the liquorprohl bition law be. made a part- of the constitution. Spain is facing a crisis. Associat ed Press dispatches are summarized in the Lincoln (Neb,) Journal as fol lows: "The desperate condition of Spain both at home and abroad was disclosed when the Spanish govern ment officially admitted the defeat of government troops in a great bat tle In Morocco and at the same time reports show that Barcelonia was completely in the hands of the rev olutionary mob, the streets running with blood and the Spanish artillery using machine guns In a vain at tempt to check the. onslaught of the revolutionary element. Tho battle in Morocco has brought a crushing de feat to the Spanish forces. The cas ualties on the Spanish side reached 3,000, giving the defeat an aspect akin to that which the Italians met In invading Abyssinia. The Moors flushed with their -victory are now advancing to attack the Spaniards at another strategic point, Alhucemas. The latest dispatches indicate that Melilla, the Spanish stronghold, is so pressed, .by 'the -Moors that its safety is in danger and, its capitula tion to the. Moors would not 'cause' surprise. The internal, condition of Spain is bordering on anarchy. Bar celona, the siecxqnd.v largest city in Spain and the commercial rival qf, Madrid, is a center of riot, pillage, tho burning of public and religious institutions and continued bloody fighting between the Spanish troops and rioters entrenched behind high barricades. The gravity of the sit uation, as related from -points along the Spanish frontier suggests the' bloody days ofc' the Paris communed The government at Madrid is meet- ing the situation With sternly re pressive' measures, but the reports in- dicate that the military garrison at the capital is disaffected and the popular sentiment is shown by re port that a vast crowd has held an anti-war manifestation in front of the royal palace." King Alfonso of Spain is' having trouble with his . subjects'. The situation- in Catalonia has reached a serious stage. The king has declared martial law throughout Spain. 'Troops have taken possession of Barcelonia. Many encounters have been had and a number of revolutionists have .been killed. Address. THE COMMONER, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Doctor William R. Hunting ton, rector of Grace church, New York, is dead. The Virginia republican state con vention adopted, this platform: "We favor the general principle of local option, and that" the counties and cities be a unit' 'iji all elections on the liquor question, with rigid enforce ment of the law." William P. Kent of Wythe, was nominated for governor of Virginia by the republican convention. - ..-i The Wright brothers made a tour through tho air July 27, covering more than fifty miles in one hour, twelve minutes and fnrfv can, President TafH witnessed the flight The Associated Press of July 28 carried a- purported interview with Mr. Bryan, saying that he intended to leave Nebraska and make his home in Texas. When Mr. Bryan's attention was called to the bogus in terview, he gave out this statement: "I have been annoyed by ques tions of this sort ever since I bought a little farm In Texas. I will make a winter home there, perhaps, but positively I have no intention of leav ing Lincoln or Nebraska. I think this statement should settle the mat ter. I am a fixture in Nebraska."
