KING OF SPAIN WEEDS.

A bomb was thrown at King Alfonso
and Queen Victoria of Spain as their
Majesties were returning after the
marriage ceremony. A fragment of the
bomb struck the Kings breast, but the
force was broken by the chain of the
Portuguese Order of Santiago, which he
was wearing. The number of killed is
20 and the wounded 60. General Weyler,
who is well known in America because
of his Cuban regime, was seriously
wounded in the explosion. Five of the
wounded are dying.

among the royal circle. Their ardor
knew no bounds, and they were perfectly
Indifferent to their surroundings.
One day when Princess Ena was con-
fined to her bed with a severe cold King
Alfonso kicked up terrific row because
he was not permitted to sit by her bed
side, and was only appeased by being al
lowed to sit for the greater part of the
day outside her bedroom door talking to
her all the time.
The Princess had quite as serious a
case of lovesickness. When Alfonso
was coming off the yacht at Giralda to
greet Ena they both rushed at each
other simultaneously, before the gang
way was secured, and but for res
training hands they probably would have
embraced in the sea.
Each night Alfonso had to literally be
ordered home by the Princess Henry of
Battenburg, and he was always around
again next morning before the royal
household was we'll astir.
The lovers were entirely unconscious
of the nudging and snickering that went
on among the royal suite at their fran
tic boy and girl loves antics, and only
laughed when Ena's young brothers
mimicked in pantomine their perfervid
meeting and fearful partings.
Atdinner Alfonso setaside all etiquette
and insisted on sitting beside Ena, and
they embarrassed the company by hold
ing each others hands under the table.

THE WAY OF THE STATESMAN

Washington correspondents 10
some of the daily papers note that
Congressman Jones had not been at
his post Of duty for some time.
They also state that Congressman
Southall has Withdrawn from the
race in the Fourth District aud is in
his seat in Congress; and that Mr..
Maynard. of the Second, who has a
hot fight on HE hands is attending
to his congressional duties in Wash
ipgton.
Mr.. Jones has invited public criti-
Glenn Of his record and public
acts. We ask is it fair to his con-
stitnents and the country at large
that are paying his salary for him to
be absent where there is pressing need
for his services ? We do not admit
that he would be of any great use in
the halls of Congress, but SIR. Jones
and his friends proclaim that he is
one whom the State and Nation can
ill afford to do without. In view of
this, and, incidentally, recalling the
fierce attack MIR. Jones made upon
Senator Martin for missing roll calls
(when the record really showed the
Senator had answered ofteper even
at that time than Mr.. Jones), we
protest against the record he has
made for 1906, it being part of the
record he asks endorsement of. We
do not wish to be unfair in this mat
ter, and will say that if ali early,
snap primary had been forced upon
the eneumbent he would have been
excused for repairing his fences. But
the reverse is true: Mr.. Jones (uot
Mr.. Montague now claims to be the
father Of the primary, and he is cor
rect in this; bis friends, it is fair TO
presume at his instance, called an
early snap primary; the same could
. have been deferred rs late as July, or
even September (last year it was the
last of August), when Congress would
have been over and duties did not
call our Congressman to Washington.
In contrast to Mr.. Jones' behavior
we find that Congressman Maynard
is looking for his reward through
close attention to his official duties
Congressman Southsll, who has been
in Congress four years, decides that
he must serve his people by close at
tention to the present strenuous and
important session, and that the peo-
pie having honored him for four
years, the office not belonging to him,
he will step aside for Francis Lassiter,
his opponent. Yet, Mr.. Jones asks
for Is years tenure, and is scuffling
to get it unmindful of the urgent
demand for all Democrats to be at
their posts in Washington.

AS A friend of Mears we protest
that Mr.. Jones did not treat him
right in writing to Hampton to in.
fluence the liquor vote against Meara
calling attention to the fact thai
Mears was attorney at home for the
Anti-Saloon League. Mr.. Mears has
not hidden his light under a bushel
nor evaded the liquor issue when
confronting him. 1t behooves Mr..
Jones to set his opponent right, here
in the Northern Neck. and also tell
the people where he himself stands
on this question. There is plenty of
time in which to do this. IL We
misunderstood, or have at any time
aligned him wrongly, we will
make correction by statement from
MIR. Jones as to his attitude on the
liquor question, and local option in
particular.

Who Is the Maqnate?

ottumwa Courier: A good story is
going the rounds that comes from the
present troubles arising from the adj
vance in coal. 1t seems that travel
ing man from Ottumwa (his name is
not part of this story was in Oska-
loosa, and while making the rounds of
his customers stopped in at one OF
those places where they sell those
large tall glasses filled with the re,
freshing beverage that men seek when
thirsty and tired. When the time ar.
rived to pay for the drink, the man,
who is somewhat of a joker, reached
in his pocket, pulled out small sized
piece Of coal and lightly tossed it or
the bar in the direction Of the bar
keeper for payment for the drink. The
bar.keeper evidently knew the price
of coal, for he threw it in the cash
register and handed back four dollars
and ninety-f1ve cents in change.

WHO OWNS HoRsEa

Who owns the horse? Justice Ba-
con has to determine that fact, but If
he don't, the justice will be the win
ner, for until it is determined he has
possession of the animal. The horse
was seized upon a search warrant
sworn out by billiard, whose brother
in-law, Parry, took the animal on a
debt and was charged with horse
stealing therefor. The case bids fair
to be long drawn out and may, indeed
go even to the supreme court, as each
side is determined to have possession
of the animal.
