Nathan Scudder of his town, and Edward
Van Brunt and Martin Hartley. two rich
New Workers seeking rest. Because of
latter pairs lavish expenditure of money,
Pratt's first impression was connected
with lunatics. The arrival of James
Hopper, Van Brunt's valet, gave Pratt
the desired information about the New
Workers. They wished to live what they

He gave us a final shove and then
went back and rolled around in the
bushes. Somebody was having a good
time If we want.
We moved off stately and slow, like
an ocean liner leaving her dock. We
didn't have any band, but the pig and
hens furnished music. The skiff's rail
was almost a-wash and my heels
dipped on every little wave.
Van rowed like good one till he got
about two-thirds Of the way across.
Then the tide got grip on us and he
commenced to go slower and groan.

SPAIN GETTING ON
WAR FOOTING
RECRUITS AND RESERVES BEING
CALLED OUT-SITUATION AT
BARCELONA is IMPROVING
RAPIDLY.

San Sebastian, via French frontier.
July 31.-The entire army is being
placed on a war footing. Recruits
and reserves of every class are being
called out. In spite of reports from
Madrid reliable private reports from
Barcelona say that the revolutionists
still hold much Of the city and that
the artillery is unable to dislodge
them.
Perpignan, France, Spanish from
tier, July 31.-Troops are arriving
at Bilbao, capital of the province of
Biscay, to suppress the general strike
announced for Monday. Much ex-
citement prevails. Basque province
where many hope for success of the
revolutionists.
Hendaye, France, July 31.-Span-
ish refugees here have made violent
manifestations during the night. The
French government has taken meas
ures to compel the Spanish refugees
to leave the frontier so as to prevent
the possible organization and expedi-
tion from French territory.
Paris, July 31.-Special dispatches
from Barcelona say the situation
there continues to improve. Troops
have dispersed rioters who were
seeking to relight ruins Of converts.
Eight thousand men have arrived to
reinforce the Barcelona garrison. The
French consul at Port Bou says he
does not believe the movement of
anti-governmental- or anarchistic but
that 1t is purely anti-clerical. The
scenes at Barcelona are most awful
since the community was burned.
Pillage and murder combined to
make a demonstration Of unusual
horror. Priests and nuns were killed
and burned to death, churhces pill
laged and the torch applied.

TO PROMOTE E[EC-
TRIO LINE
GEORGE III. ELLIS, w. r.. PROV
ELL AND e. M. TUPPER AP-
POINTED TO INTEREST CAPI-
TALISTS IN ENTERPRISE.

1t is up to George H. Ellis, E. M.
Upper and w. r. Prowell to see
that an electric railway is built from
Wenatchee to Waterville and from
Wenatchee to Leavenworth. This
responsibility was thrown on the
three men at a meeting held in the
Commercial club rooms last night
There was not large humber
present but those who did respond
to the call were enthusiastic over
the idea of promoting the electric
road proposition. A number of good
talks were made along the idea of
benefits accruing from electric lines
and motion was made that COM
mittee be appointed by the chair for
the purpose of securing data and in
teresting capitalists in building a
road. DR.. Mccoy, who had just re-
turned from Waterville, brought a
message from that city that Water
vile could be depended upon to CO.
operate with Wenatchee in securing
the building of this line
The other matter that came up be-
fore the meeting last night was that
vi d IuS 4NdlIOudl
Irrigation Congress in Spokane.
Chairman King was in receipt of the
following telegram from Chairman
Insinger:
Urge club at tonight's meeting to
provide representation in the parades
of Irrigation Congress. Should have
several wagons. early apples with
banners. Wenatchee will be a win
ner at second National Apple Show"
1t was finally decided after con-
siderable discussion that the exhibit
should be made at Spokane and a
committee consisting of Rufus
Woods, T. ]. Groves and. VIM. Ed
munds was appointed to have this
matter In charge. 1t was the sense
of the meeting that the committee
should make arrangements with the
band ana that floats and banners be
provided and arrangements made to
be in line with the marching clubs
at the Spokane meeting next month.
Protests were made at the meet
ing last night against the building
OF livery barn on Mission street by
O'Connor &. Parrish. During the
past several days work has been in
progress and 1t is reported that the
building Is to be of stone and to be
used as a livery barn. There was
quite general protest on a livery
barn being again located on this
street and committee was appoint
ed to confer with Mr.. O'Connor and
try to induce him to locate his barn
in some other locality. The commit
tee was also empowered to take the
matter up with the city council ana
try and secure an ordinance pro-
hibiting the location of barns within
the business district The committee
consists of D. A. Beal. Ed. S. Rus
sell and w. r. Prowell.
