HIS STEPMOTHER THIS
Man TAKES Az WIFE.
A MOST UNUSUAL MARRIAGE HAS
TAKEN PLACE IN Triton.

lister, Who Was His Fathers
Fifth and Divorced Wife.

A marriage of an unusual and sensa-
tional character has just taken place at
Iifton. L. L. McAllister and Mrs.
Amy G. McAllister were united in
marriage, the Rev. Charles G. Dill

Quite romance was concluded with

fathers fifth wife. She has two inter-
esting children, who are now her hus-

In early girlhood Mrs. McAllister

band, man then advanced in years.
They came to Georgia with the Fitz-
gerald colony and two years ago she
obtained divorce from her aged hus-
band in Irwin superior court, the
court giving her the care of their two
young children.
Some time after the divorce l.. L.
McAllister came to Fitzgerald and
there met the young woman, who was
an expert photographer, at which pro-
fession she earned her living. A feel
ing of mutual esteem sprang up be-
tween the young man and woman
and they became business partners
Esteem riDened into love.
Mrs. McAllister returned on the day
of the marriage from Townsville,
where she had been doing some work,
aud was met at Triton by her fiance
with a license, from the same court
house in which her divorce was pro-
cured. The services of Pastor Jill-
worth were procured and the two
united.
The groom is almost % and the
bride about q years of age. The two
left on the afternoon Triton and North
eastern train for their home in Fiuz-
gerald.

he did not understand, but which he
believed to be the native equivalent to
"cOnfess. When at last the presi-
dent agreed to tell what he knew he
was released end allowed to start
away. He was not, however, permit
ed to escape, and upon refusing to
give further information he was again
taken as he was about to mount his
horse and the cure administered for
the second time. This time the man
was not stripped, nor was he taken
into the building. DR.. Lyons said the
water could be brought to the spot and
given there, and when it was brought
in fve-gallon can one end of a
syringe was placed in it and the other
in the mans mouth. AS he still re-
fused, a second syringe was brought
out and one end of it placed in the
PROSTATE mans nose. He still refused
and a handful OF salt was thrown in
the water. This had the desired eff
feet, and the president agreed 20 an
swer questions.
Another witness. William Smith { t
Athol, Mass, who was a private in
company M, Twenty-Seventh volun-
teer infantry, corroborated Riley 8
testimony, saying he had also witness
ed the torture of two policemen OF the
town of Igboras. Smith said the de-
tails of the ''cure" were in the han DIS
of captain of the Eighteenth infan-
try, known as the water cure" de
tail. He also said that he had assist
ed in the burning of the town of Igbo-
ras and that the natives generally es-
capped from their houses only with the
clothes they wore.
What American can, after reading
this testimony, resist a feeling of
shame for the character of warfare
that is being carried on in the name
of his country in the Philippines!

ALOST LIEUTENANT.
Fate of an Army Officer an I'm

Secretary Root has directed that
the name of Second Lieutenant Paul
D. Stocklv, of the Twenty First lnfan-

which an officer disappeared, every

"water cure'' as practiced by the
American army in the Philippines as
a means of torture or for the purpose
of forcing confessions from the natives,
but few of them. we apprehend, under
stand what it implies or just what the
modus operandi is. This information
was furnished by a witness, one
Charles S. Riley, a former sergeant in
company M, Twenty. Sixth volunteer
infantry, in his testimony before the
senate Philippine committee at Wash
ington, and we here reproduce that
part of his testimony which explains
how the "water cure" is administered:
Mr.. Riley said that he had been in
the Philippines from October %, 1899,
to March a. 1901. In reply to ques-
tions by Senator Rawlins he said he
had witnessed the "water cure" at lg-
boras, in the province of lola, on
November q, 1900. 1t was admins
tered to the president or the chief
Filipino official of the town.
When the witness first saw him he
was standing in the corridor of the
convent, stripped to the waist and his
hands tied behind him with Captain
Glenn and Lieutenant Conger of the
regular army and DR.. Lyons, con-
tract surgeon, standing near, while
many soldiers stood about.
The man, he said, was then thrown
under a water tank which, held about
100 gallons of water, and his mouth
placed directly under the faucet
and held open 30 as to compel him
to swallow the water which was allow
ed to escape from the tank.

BITS OF CUTICLE.
Were the Wedding Gifts to This
Young Bride.

Miss Agnes Hill, Chicago stenog-
rapher, was married one day last week
in Binghampton, N. Y, and her we'd
ding gifts consisted of patches of skin
to graft on several burns sustained in
rescuing her fance. Miss Hill was
engaged to be married TO her employ
err, H. w. Wright, for whom she had
been working since her arrival from
Chicago year and half a ago.
They had decided to be married at
the close of Lent, and several weeks
ago Miss Hill went to her aunt's resi-
dence, at Landers, to prepare for the
event. Saturday Mr.. Wright came for
a visit, intending to stay over Sunday.
That night the house took fire and the
girl fought her way through the flames
and smoke to his room. arousing him
and saving his life, but not before she
was badly burned.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed as the young woman lay in bed,
and at its conclusion the groom, his
brother, who was best man, and the
minister each submitted TO an opera
ton for the transfer of skin to Miss
Rill's body. Later other offers OF skin
from friends of the groom came to Miss
Hill, with accompanying congratula-
tiUDs.

POLITICS IN WEBSTER.
Representative j. p. Walker May
Have Opposition.

The Webster county democratic ex-
ecutive committee has fixed the county
primary for June 5.
The election will be made under the
same rules as the state primary, it be-
ing deemed best to let white people
vote only.
The oldest people say that politics
are more backward than known for
some years in that county.
AS yet not single candidate has
announced, but it is generally thought
that the present officers will al run
and may be without opposition, ex-
.cept Representative j. p. Walker.
Some people are against Mr.. Walker
for re-election. and though no one has
been named TO make the race against
him it is possible that some one will
be put out against him.

1t will probably be necessary to Dor.

it will require 500, 600, and perhaps

known, has authority to borrow to the

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.

The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department of Agrlcul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year. owing TO
the extensive crop and the delay IN
getting it threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way in
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply a matter
of opinion, in which a mistake may
easily be made The Territorial De-
partment, however. has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy OF the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid. for
they represent a compilation OF actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system OF
growing crop returns, which will be In
operation next summer. The tnfor-
nation thus obtained. with estimated
acreage will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases Of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given OF
| crops of wheat running from 40 to Al
| bushels to the acre.
J. A. Smell, of Yorl1ton, threshec
| 2S Geo bushels of oats from 400 acres
| an average of SO bushels per acre for &
| large acreage.
w. r. lLotherwel, of Abernethy
| threshed $3.50 bushels of wheat from
a 5O-acre field, an average of 90 bush
| els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T
| Hutchings threshed 72S bushels O
wheat from u ten-acre plot, al average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels o
oats from 90 acres of land, an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yield!
| or grain threshed will likely open tn,
eyes of the people to the great capabil
tiles of the Western Canadian prairies
