|"THE LIVE STOC
|v'- LATEST THING IN MARRIAGES.
Bashful Brides Hide Faces While
HpjV' Minister Ties Knots.
fej Savannah, Ga., Oct. 20.?Because
fpj:- the brides-elect were too timid to enSfcv'
ter the lighted parlor of the minisW:>':
ter's home, to have the marriage cerBte
emony performed, the Rev. T. D.
Strong, pastor of a Methodist misgap;
sion at Thunderbolt, a resort near
' Savannah, performed a double marriage
ceremony by the aid of a small
||: -electric light at a trolley station, on
Wednesday night, while the grooms
-stood upon the ground and held the
p>;: hands of the brides, who remained
hidden in the shadows cast by the
gg/ top of a hack hired ior tne purpose
||5" of making the journey from the city.
v The parties who were married
s? were Mr. Thomas L. Lasiter and Miss
I^ora Dukes, and Mr. Nisbet A. MorJ;,
gan and Miss Susie Dukes, all of Savannah.
The brides are sisters and
:4C the grooms very close friends. They
J decided upon a double elopement and
Ux engaged a hack to drive them to the
tf WW
home of Mr. Strong. Arriving there,
the girls refused to enter the house
or get out of the hack. The minister
was accommodating and agreed to
go to the deserted station to perform
the ceremony at 11 o'clock at night.
The colored hackman was the only
"winess to the marriage. Parental
forgiveness has been obtained and
both couples are apparently happy.
Holds up Bank Cashier.
Bartlesville, CTkla., Oct. 18.?A
young man held up the cashier of the
State bank at Vera, Okla., 20 miles
south of Bartlesville, late to-day, secured
$1,600 and compelled the bank
?&*? official and a depositor who was in
the building at the time to accompany
him half a mile into the country,
where his horse was tied. When
the robber turned to mount his
horse the two men seized him. The
prisoner will be brought to the Bartlesville
jail.
At the Bartlesville jail the man
gave his name as Adrian Lockhart

is an accomplice of Loekhart's.
Both are young men.
The difficulty in getting cotton
picked is more serious this year than
ever before. Even at this late season
there are fields of cotton in this
county that have not had a cotton
picker in them.

"OLD BILL" MINOR GRATEFUL.
Sends Note of Thanks to Prison Committee?Still
at Large.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 19.?"Old Bill"
Minor, the train robber, who escaped
from the State prisoh at Milledgeville
on Tuesday and who also is
wanted by the Canadian authorities,
has reminded the State authorities
that he still is at liberty.
A nnt.a from him was received to
day at the office of the prison commission,
thanking them for their
.kindness. The note read:
"My Dear Sir: I write to thank
you for your kindness in putting me
at Milledgeville. My dear sir, don't
trust a prisoner, don't matter haw
sick he is, or makes out he is. Yours,
truly, B. MINOR."
The note was dated October 17
and bore the postmark of a railroad
postoffice, evidently being mailed
from a train on the Georgia Road.
A reward of $300, offered by the
Southern Express Company for his
capture, has been supplemented by a
reward of $50, offered by the prison
commission. No clue to Minor's
whereabouts has been reported.
THOUSANDS DIE OF STARVATION
China Sorely Beset by Famine as
Well as Disease.
News wag brought by the steamer
Empress of Japan that thousands
are dying of starvation in Kiang Su,
along the Yang Tse, following the
floods, and the situation was expected
to augument greatly the spread
of the rebellion in China.
The whole of the country was under
water, according to refugees.
Corpses were floating everywhere
and famine stricken refugees were
dying daily from disease.
In places the Yang Tse was thirty-five
miles broad and floating bodies,
on which starving dogs were
feeding, were seen in numbers.
A captain of one of the river boats
tells of seeing a number of mutilated
corpses in uniform, indicating
the fate of some Imperial soldiers at

Between 60,000 and 70,000 refugees

was reported to be between 200 and

for medical aid to effect any relief.

tobacco companies in the country,
representing, it was given out, a total
capital of $250,000,000, employing
100,000 persons and including
86 per cent, of the independent cigar
manufacturers' interests and 60 per
cent, of cigar leaf tobacco dealers
and packers in the country, got to
gether liere to-aay ana aeciaea upon
unanimity of action in opposing the
American Tobacco Company's plan of
disintegration. Representatives of
labor in the tobacco industry were
also present.
Resolutions were adopted condemning
the plan as not effective in
bringing about competitive conditions
and it was voted that the organizations
present should each select one
representative to form an advisory
committee. This committee will
meet next Tuesday afternoon, when
a plan of action will be definitely out-1

DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED.
White Man to Hang for Killing Woman
and Daughter.
Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 19.?A. J.
O'Berry, a white man, to-day was
sentenced to hang on November 27
for the murder of Mary Randolph, a
negro, and her 13-year-old daughter,

j Anderson Man Makes 111 Bushels.
j Anderson, Oct. 17.?Guy H. Norris;
whose prize acre of corn was
I gathered by three representatives of
the national department of agriculture,
has received notice from the
department that his official yield is
111 bushels. The field measurement;
gave a yield of 113 bushels, but after
the moisture test was made, the yield
was decreased two bushels.
To deal cards from a pack without
danger of turning them over or
misdeals is the idea of a machine
that a New Yorker has patented.

QUARLES TAKES TEN YEARS.
Defendant Accepts Sentence After
Jury Fails to Agree.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 19.?Ten years'
Imprisonment was the punishment
imposed to-day upon George Quarles,
who killed John Mitchell, in the latter's
home, August 5. The jury after
being out all nightr, reported they
were unable to arrive at a verdict
and Quarles, upon the advice of hi*
counsel, agreed to accept ten years
for voluntary manslaughter.
The principal witness against
Quarles was Mitchell's bride of five
days. She said her husband remonstrated
with Quarles for using bad
language in her presence. A fight
followed, in which Mitchell was stabbed.
Both men had been admirers
of the woman.
THE RIGHT SORT OF GIRLS.
Kansas Maids Run the Farm when)
Father is Taken Sick.
In the southwest part of Kingman
county there lives a German farmer,
Rennie Griem, who has been in -ill
health the past year. The family
consists mostly of girls. One of these
girls is a school teacher and two are
students in the Kingman high school.
Hired help has been hard to get the
past season, and the father, not being
able to attend to farm work, the
girls concluded to take matters into
their own hands, and last spring, as
soon as the eldest daughter's term
of school had closed, she went home,
"hooked up" to the lister and, working
early and late, put in 75 acres of
corn.
As soon as the two other girls
were home from high school they
"turned in" and insisted in cutivating
the corn crop, assisted in the
milking and care of the stock, sold
and delivered the milk to the creamery,
put up the hay from 27 acres
rint ,1 n nill'to QTI Q mnilJl t of
U1 CL1LCLILCL, put U ijutw uu ?W?
prairie hay and other feed crops,
and attended to the multifarious duties
on the farm, all by themselves,
receiving no assistance from a man
during the entire season.
The result is a field of corn which
competent judges say will yield an
average of 50 bushels to the acre,
and all the balance of the farm work
up in ship-shape. The girls having
attended to the pressing duties of
the farm and their father being in
better health, they will resume their
places in school for the coming term.
