Judge Hooker had busy day in cham
oers at Ocala Friday. giving a hearing in
fifteen cases. Perhaps the most interest
ing case that came up was a request for
aAmony from a Tampa woman who, Sc
curing divorce, remarked the same man,
and now is seeking another separation,
and means from him to subsist on. The
judge denied the request, because it was
quite evident in her first dealings with
her husband she had about captured all
MS worldly possession, so that in this
bout there was nothing left but blighted
affections and wrecked hopes.

THE AMERICAN PLAN.
Outline Of the scheme for Arbitra-
tion Proposed by Our Delegates
at The Hague.

The Hague, June both sections OF
the disarmament committee met
Wednesday and, as was anticipated,
failed to agree with regard to the ques-
tions of new inventions in armaments.
The drafting committee of the arbitra-
ton committee made some advance.
The American delegates submitted
their scheme relating to an arbitration
tribunal. The plan differs from the
British proposal. In substance it is as
follows:
II provides that each country shall ap-
point a single arbitrator. TO be selected by
the supreme courts of the signatory pow
ers. The tribunal shall have a permanent
central seat. and be composed Of at least
three Judges. who shall not be natives or
residents OF countries belonging TO the
powers in disaccord. The general expenses
shall be shared proportionately. In the
event Of new facts arising within three
months of a decision. the same tribunal
shall have power TO try again the ques-
tions In dispute. Recourse 10 the tri-
bunal shall be optional for the signatory
powers. The tribunal shall not take cog
nizance of any dispute until assured that
the parties concerned will accept its de-
cision. The convention shall come into
force and the tribunal be established when
nine powers. eight OF whom shall be Eu-
ropean or American and four of whom shall
be signatories of the declaration of Paris,
1856. shall have adhered to the convention.
The Hague, June 2.-The American
mediation scheme was unanimously
adopted at sitting of the sub-commit-
tee, which embodied as Article VII. the
scheme prepared by the subcommittee,
with few alterations.

81. Louis Platform Indorsed.

The platform adopted reaffirms the
principles declared by the st. Louis
platform. Ii indorses President Nc
Kinley as follows
1--WE earnestly indorse the great admin
istration of William Mckinley. II IL dis
tinguished 20 a remarkab BILE degree in the
history of national administrations. IN
der his splendid republican administration
public credit has been restored the pros
perity Of the people has developed, our
commerce has grown great. our trade,
domestic and foreign. has increased to a
degree never before known, and the peo-
pie are looking with confidence for greater
things 10 come.
THE magnificent achievements of our
army and navy in the war with Spain for
the liberation of the downtrodden and op-
pressed people of Cuba from the domina-
tion of Castilian despotisEn, accomplished
under the master guidance of a republican
administration, are necessarily subjects
for highest encomium by a convention OF
Ohio republicans.
ITO the same master guidance con-
trolled by the great principles that have
shaped the high destiny of the republican
party, from Lincoln TO Mckinley, the
people can safely commit the solution OF
momentous problem of the future of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines Their wise
solution will vastly increase our foreign
trade, spread American civilization abroad
and add 10 the honor and power and glory
Of this great nation.
I'VE commend the president for the ju-
dicious notifications of the civil service
rules recently promulgated.
For the national defense, for the re-
enforcement of the navy, for the enlarge
ment Of our foreign markets, for the en-
ployment Of American workingmen in the
mines. forests. farms, mills factories and
ship yards we demand the immediate en-
actment of legislation similar to that IA
vorably reported TO each branch Of the
Fifty-fifth congress at its last session. so
that American built, American owned and
American manned ships may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce"
In reference to state matters the gen.
eral lassenhbly is commended for the pas
sage of an antitrust law and such un-
lawful combinations are denounced as
inimical to the interests of the people,
and the party is pledged to such further
Legislation as experience may deter
mine necessary to prevent the forma-
ton and operation of such iniquitous
and dangerous combinations. pro-
test is made against lynching and the
Ohio centennial at Toledo in 1902 is
strongly favored.

tragedy In New York.

New York, June 5.-Mrs. Johanna
Schilling, 35 years of age, and her two
young daughters, Gertrude, aged ten
and Edna, aged eight, were found dead
Sunday afternoon in their home in a
tenement. All had been asphyxiated
by gas doubtless turned on by the moth
er with the idea of numbering her two
children and then committing suicide
The tragedy evidently grew out of a
quarrel between the woman and her
husband, Otto Schilling, tailor, who
left home about a week ago.

WESTERN ENTERPRISE.
An Oklahoma Town, Organized Re-
Gently I'm One Day, Buys Out
right a Rival village.

FL Reno, o. T., June 5.-Mountain
View, o. T., the new terminal town on
the Chicasha extension of the Rock Is
land, that was organized in day, broke
another record in town enterprise Sum
day There has existed a rival town a
mile and half west and it was deemed
advisable TO consolidate them. After
a weeks diplomacy the protocol was
signed and the towns are now one. The
consideration was raised by the citizens
of Mountain View and amounted in
total to S34,3sO, and now "Oakdale," the
rival town, is on wheels and strung out
on the road to Mountain View. This is
probably the first case of buying
whole town outright that the annals of

The Western Candidate for the
speskershfD Of the House Seems
Assurea of Victory.

Chicago, June s.-Republican con-
gressmen in many states fell into line
Saturday for Col. David b. Henderson,
of Iowa, for speaker of the lower house.
Reports from Massachusetts,, Maryland,
Nebraska and South Dakota indicated
that the solid republican delegations
of these four states had decided TO
support the western candidate In ad-
dition messages received by Chicago
politicians from Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Indiana and Ohio brought assurances
that the congressional delegations un-
doubtedly would remain with him to
the end. Other western states are be-
lieved certain to follow their example.
The action of Massachusetts, and Mary
land is thought by Col. Henderson's s
friends 70 foreshadow further eastern
accessions.
