There is an indication, according to a letter received by Governor Mc Kelvie from Benedict Crowell, that the War department, while not will ing to recede from its stand that companies of national guard shall be composed of 100 men at least, row authorizes the formation of companies in two platoons of from 40 to 60 men each where two towns are sufficiently close to each other so they can work together. Mr. Crowell admits that a large number of states have tried to pre vail upon the War department to cut the minimum number of a company to 65 men, but he says that in case of war companies would be com posed of 250 men and this would mean too many new recruits in a company.

Lincoln, Nov. 28. (Special.) The state railway commission has issue'd a revised order covering transportation of, freight by auto truck and expects to have -printed sufficient orders so that they may be in the hands of all those inter ested. There has been a number of com plaints since the former order went into effect, because of provisions for handling goods for short dis tances and because of its complex ity. It followed about the same classification as the railroads and this was found to be too compli cated, especially in regard to con dition of shipments as to packing. The new order applies to all per sons or corporations operating trucks east of a line running from the western btorder of Harlan coun ty from the Kansas line to the Da kota line. Suburbs of Lincoln are not included in the order, being considered a part of the city. The schedule of rates is amended to read as follows: First class, 20 cents per cwt. plus IjS cents per mile for distances of from one mile to 150 miles: second class, 85 per cent of first class rates; third class, 70 oer cent of first class rates: fourth class, 60 per cent of first class rates: all according to the distance shipments are carried from one to 150 miles, minimum charge 5U cents per shipment.
