Madrid, May 23—A large and distin guished party, Including military offi cers, civil officials and court dignitar ies, have proceeded to the frontier to meet Princess Ena of Battenberg, who Is to make her entry into Spain tomor- row to become the bride of King Al fonso. The princess will be met by members of the British embassy, who will make the formal presentation of tile future queen and her suite to the Spanish authorities. This presentation may be regarded as the first official act of the journey. As soon ns it Is concluded the royal train will start for Madrid. At all the stations en route Prlpcess Ena will receive the respect ful homage of the local authorities nnd the Inhabitants. As a special honor sho will be greeted everywhere by the snlnte accorded to royalty. The princess and her family will be lodged at the palace of El Pardo, one of the magnificent seats of the Span ish royal family located some seven miles from Madrid. The palace Is a large nnd stately building and contains many famous works of art. Princess Ena’s stay at the Pardo is fixed by precedent at slx<days, during which she will receive official visits from all the authorities, the officers of the king’s household, the cortes nnd the senate. During the week preced ing the wedding the princess’s trous seau will be shown to the public In the senate house, and her jewels, which will also be shown, will be guarded by the king’s halberdiers. Madrid’s preparations for the wed ding are going forward apace. The decorations are rapidly nearing com pletion, and, in addition to the route which the wedding procession will fol low, many other streets are being pro fusely adorned with flags and bunting. The facades of many houses are al most hidden by long stretches of red and yellow cloth and their occupants have hung multi-colored carpets, silk en tapestries—many of them beauti fully embroidered—and other such ob jects from tile windows and balconies. Festoons of evergreens, in which varle- gnted fairy lamps form rosebuds, are stretched across the streets from Imi tation palm trees, and banneretes flut ter from countless Venetian masts. The national colors everywhere pre dominate, with here and there a Brit ish “Union Jack” flying. Country folk are already arriving In town to attend the groat public fes tivities which will both precede and follow tile wedding. The fetes will include gala performances, military reviewB, a parade of representatives of the Spanish provinces In typical cos tumes, a royal bull fight, balls and re ceptions. Many picturesque groups of peasants are now to he seen on the streets. The men nre in quaint costumes—embroid ered waistcoats nnd knee breeches adorned with big silver buttons, with gaudy handkerchiefs around their heads and hempen sandals on thetr feet. Others, wearing close-fitting jackets with silver buttons, carry tar tan shawls on their shoulders and have staffs In their hands. The wo men are dressed in the brightest col ors, yellow and red, with embroidered shawls on their heads nr roses inter twined In their linlr. The women of the better class wear the graceful black mantilla, anil are soberly at tired. v CRUEL PUNISHMENTS. tThe Old Time Hue of Torture In Legal PrOUCNMCN. The constitution of the United States and tins constitutions of the various states la prohibiting cruel and unusual punishments were not fighting an ab surdity. The use of torture In legal processes was not, when these Instru ments were framed, so remote as it Is now. When Sir Thomas Dole came ns high marshal to Virginia he crushed a con spiracy by killing the ringleaders by torture. One had a bodkin thrust through his tongue nnd was chained to a tree urftll he died. Others were broken on the wheel. It Is quaintly stated that Sir Thomas was “a man of good conscience and knowledge in divinity.” Dole's date was 1011. The next notable Instance of the use of torture was in 1002, In the Salem witchcraft excitement, when Giles Cory was pressed to death—the “peine dure et forte,” the most horrible of deaths. Executions were in public through out the east until comparatively recent times. When Quelch, the pirate, and six others were hanged In Boston, Sew- ull wrote In his diary, "When the scaf fold was let to sink there waa such a screech of the women that my wife heard It, sitting In our entry next to the orchard,” though the gallows was a mile away and the wind unfavorable. The use of torture to wring the truth from witnesses Is said to have been rec ognized as legal In Austria until well within the century. 'Phone 280 for stove wood and lee. ALBANY COAL & ICE CO.

Dwyer, now of Graysville, Mo., “three of my custom ers were permanently cured of con sumption by Dr. King’s New Discov ery, and are well and strong today. One was trying to sell his property and move to Arizona, but after using Now Discovery a short time he found It unnecessary to do so.

Va., writes: “I was a sufferer from kidney disease, so that at times I could not get out of bed, and when I did I could not stand straight. I took Foley’s Kid ney Cure. One dollar bottle and part of the second cured me entirely." Foley’s Kidney Cure works wonders where others are total failures. For sale by Hilsman-Sale Drug Co.
