DIR. w. c. Sistrunk, Of Dunnellon,
and Miss +. l.. Clark, OF Fellowship,
We're out taking an afternoon drive on
last Friday afternoon. Before they
had gone very far the doctorsuggested
to his lover that they get lnaraied that
afternoon and surprise everybody.
Miss Clark readily consented, but
thought the doctor was only joking
but when he drew the licenses from
his pocket and showed them to her
she saw that lie was in dead earnest.
She would not go back on her word,
but thought it would be q little ro-
mantle as well as surprise, so they
drove by Elder NJ. S. Moser's and at
4: 80 the happy couple were made one.
DIR. Sistrunk is promising young
man, full Of cnergysand zeal, and has
fine practice at Dunnellon.
Miss Clark is an excellent young
lady, and by her many lovely traits of
character has won & place in the hearts
of all tue community. In any loeali-
ty they may choose to locate the peo-
pie will surely have great reason to
rejoice.
The contracting parties grew up to-
gether in the Fellowship neighbor-
hood; spent their childheod and
school days together, and now they
have pledged to live together in hap
py wedlock the remainder of their
days. May their life be one of joy,
and their pathway always be strewn
with flowers of peace, happiness and
prosperity is the hope Of one who loves
them. II,

Soon King Oumalea will carry his
beautiful Queen to his doting subjects.
Her auburn tresses will increase their
idolatrous worship of her because they
will believe that she is child of the
sun-God, and little Illyuda, the royal
princess, they will cherish as cheru-
bim from the moon. His Ocala royal
ministers of state need not be sur
prised at any moment TO receive a
royal summons for instant departure
to their distant dominions.
Great finds of gold and silver, ru-
bies and diamonds, and other precious
stones, are reported in the great group
of Illyka islands, nine-tenths of which,
under the long established custom of
the tribe, go to the king and his min
listers of state, and it is believed that
King Oumalea, and the Ocala gentle
men who have been so illustriously
honored by him, will be the richest
potentates in all the world. If they
so desire, they can in a few years re.
turn to Ocala dressed in costumes so
bejeweled with diamonds as to out
shinea whole system of electric lights.
So despite the destruction of her
groves and the failure of her banks,
Ocala was in a royal frame of mind
to enjoy the thanksgiving turkey yes
terday. Illyquere was the favorite
beverage and merry were the toasts
drank to King Oumalea, Queen
and the little Princess Illyuda.
Ocala always manages to be strictly
in 1t.

that the procession that paraded the

the music of brass band and dressed
in gorgeously vivid colors, were the

the opening of the Ocala House, but

Colonel John F. Hobbs, better known
in Ocala as Oumalea, King of tribe
of cannibals inhabiting the Inyka Is
lands in the south Pacific seas, since
leaving this city, after first receiving
the approval of his subjects, has led to
the marriage altar wealthy bride, of
rare beauty and accomplishments,
which event was noted in the New
York newspapers at the time with all
the eclat and space that a genuine
royal marriage should evoke. Pictures
of King Oumalea, and his bride, whose
title will be Queen Mlalie when she
shall ascend the throne with her royal
husband, were given in the World,
and other New York newspapers, in
their conventional costumes and the
royal purple of the Illykas. So great
an event was joyfully celebrated by
the islanders. The marriage has borne
royal fruit and the World of last Sun
day devoted two full pages to the birth
of Illyuda, the little Royal Princess,
who was born in that city few days
ago. Over land and sea a thanks
giving message is swiftly speeding to
the group of cannibal islands announc-
ing the birth of the future Queen of
their tribe. The whole group of isles
will be In commotion and every hut
will be decorated with flowers and
skeletons of missionaries sweetly de-
voured. The great joy dance will be
performed nightly in the village
squares. Almost naked and elabo-
rately tatooed, the braves of the tribe
will whirl in wild gyratinns. They
will brandish spears made of human
bones; sound their tom SONS, covered
with human flesh, and throw their
huge javelins into mid-air. The great
carnival will wind up with great pots
of hot missionary soup.
We make special potice of this royal
birth because Gcala is directly inter-
ested in 1t. King Oumalea has greatly
honored Ocala in the selection of his
ministers of state of distinguished
citizens of this city. 1t will be remem.
bered that he conferred this honor,
with titles named, upon the following
gentlemen:
Imperial Prime Minister (Uwakabiatna)
Colonel J. H. Livingston.
Imperial Secretary of State (winkibioka,
Hon. W. S. Bullock.
Imperial Secretary of War (Hoxigeka)
Colonel VIM. c. Jefords

The Amusement Season Ended But the
Park is Still Attractive.

With the entertainment given Satur-
day evening at the rustic theatre at River
ton, the amusement season came to an
end. Thej season opened with the week
of juno IA, and every day with the ex-
ception Of q dull or rainy day the seating
capacity of the theatre has been taxed to
its utmost.
In saying that the entertainment sea-
son is over it should not be assumed that
the travel to Riverton will be practically
suspended, as this is not the fact. The
ride to Riverton is one of the most de-
lightful that person can take and es-
pecially during the latter part of Septem-
Der and in the early days of October when
the foliage begins to change its color, a
more pleasant ride or more handsome
landscape scenery is not to be viewed.
The entertainment season just closing
has been even more successful. than that
Of last year and much credit is due the
efficient manager of the company, Mr..
E. A. Newman and his subordinates for
the manner in which the park is con-
Quoted.
LII Is SAFE TO 6Sblmab6 tnaG curing bne
warmest weather Ct the season 10, 600
persons visited the park daily and have
gone away each time delighted with their
trip.
A great addition to the transportation
facilities was made this year by the ex-
tension of the track along Stevens Plains
avenue from Spring street SO that the
citizens of Westbrook could have direct
route to the park. How much this ac-
commodation has been appreciated by the
citizens of Westbrook is shown by the
large numbers from their city who have
visited the park daily during the sum-
mer.
One noticeable thing during the past
season was the increase in the number of
private parties that have visited the park,
chartering the parIor car Bramhall, and
after enjoying the entertainment adjourn
ing to the Casino for. lunch and dance
or game of whist.
With the advent of the fall and winter
season it is expected that the usual activ-
ity will prevail and that nany social
gatherings will be enjoyed in the Casino.
Mr.. d. B. Smith, the manager OF the
Casino restaurant, when seen by the
PRESS reporter expressed himself as..well
pleased with the results of the summer
work particularly in his department.

A Mysterious Cellar Uneathed.

A discovery was made on Payson street
by crew Of the city employees the
other day. Payson street is one OF
those throughfares recently opened UP
through the land which was formerly
part Of the city poor farm. On this
street the very best of gravel is found
and the city has been taking this gravel
from ONT the street and in SO doing the
crew at work here have dug big hole
perhaps some five or six feet deep. The
other day this crew uncovered three large
flag stones which seemed to have been
placed there by the hands of men. On re-
moving one of them sort of cellar was
discovered some II feet long and about
eight feet wide, walled in nicely with
stone and quite deep. What this pit was
used for and who built it no one seems
able to explain and strange to say nc
one has as yet thoroughly explored it.
The surface of the land above it did not
appear to have been disturbed for many
years and speculation is rife as to whether
or not this pit was constructed by the
early settlers as a tomb or hiding place
for valuables or whether it was the worB
of the aboriginies.

was small riot among the Italians in
Little Italy this evening and as a result
one man was probably fatally shot, one
woman was slightly wounded by bullet,
another was stabbed and a second man
shot. The trouble was due to quarrel
among the women Of three Italian fami-
lies this morning. When their husbands
came home tonight they were told of the
quarrel and arming themselves with re-
volvers and knives started out to settle
1t.
Phillipo Restio was shot in the abdo-
men by Antonio Perrino. Rosa Cato was
shot in the left shoulder by the same
man. Salvatore Cerese was stabbed In
the back by Francesca and Batiste Cato.
Ounfria Damore was cut on the left wrist

Agent Perry of the S. P. G. A. recently
that the horses of the teams that carry
the United States malls between Union
station and the post office have received
Improper treatment from their driver and
manager, John Lawson. Agent Perry
has been quietly investigating the case
and it was not his intention to make any
prosecution had the manager of the teams
manifested desire to follow little ad.
vice, The officer saw Manager Lawson
several times and cautioned him to take
better care of the horses.

found that there had been no improve
ment. He at once decided to take action

September II four disabled horses which
he did cruelty work, by reason of their

ize these horses to suffer cruelty" Law
son pleaded not gullty, ana Stateu bhat
he was without counsel.
Agent Perry and Deputy Agent Dyer
testified that the horses were not in con
dition to work.
Lawson asked for continuance until
Monday to give him chance to have the
horses examined.
The respondent admitted that he had
not made any effort to secure witnesses as
he had not known the nature of the COM
plant.
Mr.. Chapman replied that Lawson
had been informed when arrested what
examination of the horses was to be made
BY other parties today and Sunday, the
condition of the horses on last Thursday
could not perhaps be proven as it would
be very easy matter to fig up the sores.
"However," concluded Mr.. Chapman,
81 do not desire to force trial on the re-
sondent if he is not prepared. But he will
fully permitted these horses to work -
The court consented to continue the
case but directed the respondent to pre-
pare his side.

Empire State Committee Scored the Citi
zens' Union.

New York, September 18.-The Re-
publican state committee met at the Fifth
Avenue hotel and by an unanimous vote
nominated VIM. J. Wallace of Albany,
now United States circuit judge, as it's
candidate for chief judge of the court of
appeals. The committee reaffirmed in
hearty terms the principles of the ST.
Louis platform, endorsed the administra-
ton of President Mckinley and Governor
Black and told of the "benefcient re-
suits of the Raines law. AS final
stroke the committee issued an address
to the voters of the state calling on them
to stand by the party. In his address
the Citizens Union was roundly de-
nounced for it's refusal to join hands
with the county organization and the
county committee was encouraged to put
a straight ticket in the field. Summed
up, the deliberations Of the committee
were carried out with all the smoothness
and precision of we'll oiled machine.
There were no surprises of any kind.
