A dispatch from Humansville, Mo-,
announces the marriage there yester-
day of Mrs. Lottie Dougherty to Mr..
b. ID. Smith. This makes the seventh
time Mrs. Smith has welded. She has
been divorced from none or her former
husbands, but has outlived them.
Mrs. y. j. Atkins, wife Of the chair
man of the Republican state central
committee, is well acquainted with the
bride and last might gave a Gleee-
Democrat reporter something OF the
former matrimonial ventures OF Mrs.
Smith. For the lady Mrs. Atkins has
the highest regard and declares that
she is the envy of all the ladies in HUI
Evansville for the way In which she
captures the hearts OF men.
Originally the new Mrs. Smith was
Miss Lottie Bridges. In those days the
lady did not live I'm Humansvil!e. Miss
Bridges was induced to change her
name to Vice. Mr.. Vice died and
man named Depriest won the heart and
hand OF the young widow. Mr.. Deprieet
died and his widow married Mr.. MILL
gan, whose wife she was when she re-
moved to Humansville. After the
death Of Mr. Milligan the lady married
a Mr.. Dawson. He died and Mrs. Daw-
son was prevailed upon to change her
about as long es his predecessors and
soon after his death his widow married
q Mr.. Dougherty. About two years ago
Mr. Dougherty died and now his relict
has Joined life and fortune with Mr..
Smith. Once IL was rumorcd. says
Mrs Atkins, that Mrs. Smith was en-
gaged TO be married TO a Mr.. Min. but
the marriage never took place because
the prospective groom was supersti-
tious.
Although Mrs. Smith has been mar
ried seven times, she is still compara-
lively a young woman. Mrs. Atkins
says she cannot be more than 80 years
of age at the most. Her new husband
Is many years her senior. Mrs. Smith
has hut four chlldren-a daughter by

Does Not Believe the insurgents viii Resist

WILL NEVER SUBMIT TO SPAIN.
II America Takes Possession II Will Result in
A New Era in The Philippines and
In Our Own Country.

London, Oct. 19.-It is not unreason-
able 10 assume that Gen. Wesley Mer-
ritt has indicated substantially the
trend of his advice TO the American
peace commission in Paris regarding
the Philippine islands in the following
statement made today:
while some of the Filipinos are
able, | am not acquainted with any one
OF them who is capable OF governing
II do not believe the insurgents will
resist the Americans. But there is one
certainty-they will never submit TO
again being ruled by the Spaniards.
IF America takes possession of the
islands, IL will result in "A new era in
the Philippines and I'm our own country.
The islands are of immense strategic
value commercially as well as from "A
naval point, and they are easily de-
Tended.
MY study of the British colonies has
greatly interested me. They ought to
prove "a valuable object lesson TO the
United States. The British system is
as perfect as devisabe."
