THREE TIMES A WIFE.

Gertrude Potter Joined for the Second
Time to Julius Clarke Daniels.
CHICAGO Sept. 2l.-Miss Gertrude
Whiting Potter was married Saturday
afternoon at the Virginia to Julius Clarke
merely, the parties having been previously
legally united in marriage Jan. 1, $780, in
Chicago by the Rev. r. A. John, pastor of
st. Paufs church. Saturdays ceremony,
however, was thought best by all con-
cerned as final adjustment of the matri-
monial entanglements in which the young
woman was involved. The first Daniels
Potter marriage was secret even more
closely guarded than the Rust-POeter mar
riage, assumed names being given to the Ii
cense department and officiating minister.
Furthermore it appears that the annul-
ment of the invalid Rust-Potter marriage
and Saturdays ceremony were the result
of consultation and agreement between
the Potter, Rust and Daniels families.
Daniels Still Loved Her.
1t is understood that the first hint of
the Daniels-Potter marriage reached the
ears of J. c. Hutchns, Miss Potter's
brother-in law. This was after the Rust
Potter marriage and after Miss Potter
and young Mr.. Rust had sailed for
Europe. Mr.. Hutchins went to New
York, obtained the young mans corrobo-
ration of the marriage, and returning to
Chicago substantiated the facts Young
Daniels took the position that her loved
his wife and wished to claim he before
the world. Subsequently the Rust-Pot-
ter marriage became known through the
medium of the press. Though it was in.
valid it was thought necessary to have it
declared null aud void by a court Of
record in justice to young Mr.. Rust as
well as to clear away any possible OBJ
stacle to a re-enactment of the marriage
between Mr.. Daniels and Miss Potter.

REVOLT IN MEXICO.
Matters Are Assuming a Very
Serious Turn.
THE PRESIDENT FORCED TO ACT.

A Report That Garcia Has Been Hanged
Arouses the MaIcontents in the North
srn Part of the Country end They Are
Joining the Forces of the Revolution
ists-President Diaz Orders the Massing
of Troops to Meet the RebeIs-Uncle
Sam Has Something to Say.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 2l-The news
received here yesterday from northern
Mexico indicates that the revolution in
that country is still in progress. The en-
gagement near Mier between the invaders
and government troops was not as serious
as reported. There was a pitched battle
and a large number of shots were ex-
changed, but the number killed outright
is not thought to be large. Catrino Gar.
las reported fate has aroused the malcon-
tents in the northern part of the republic,
and they are joining the revolutionists in
large numbers. The Mexican govern
ment is becoming uneasy at the aspect Of
affairs, and there is no better evidence of
this than the fact that President Diaz has,
through his secretary of war, ordered
massing of troops in the northern part Of
the republic.
Marching Upon Monterey.
Hundreds of thoroughly equipped SOL
diers are now pouring into the states of
Nuevo Leon and Taumilipas A large
force hiss been stationed at the towns of
Carnage and Requero by the Mexican
government to protect the citizens of those
places. The invaders are about fifty miles
south of Carnage. 1t is believed that
they are marching upon Monterey, where
the revolutionists have many sympa-
thizers who will join them when they
reach that section. General Stanley, COM
mander of the United States troops for
the department Of Texas, stated yester-
day that if the revolutionists were not
successful in Mexico, they could not again
take refuge in the United States, as G en-
eral Ruiz Saadoval and the 100 who were
the originators of the movement arranged
their plans and started on their mission
from this country.
Cannot Re-Enter the United States.
Detachments from all the posts on this
side of the Rio Grande border are patrol
Ing the frontier to intercept the revolu-
tionists, should they return to this sife.
If captured in the United States they VIII
be tried upon the charge OF violating the
neutrality laws. The report reached here
late last night that the Mexican revoln-
tionists had battle yesterday with troops
near Monterey, but no confirmation of the
rumor has yet been received. The private
dispatch giving this information states
that many men were killed and wounded
in the engagement.
To Reinforce Sandoyal.
Little credence is placed in this, as il is
known that the main body of the revolu-
tionists was in the vicinity of Camargo
Saturday morning. The Mexican refu-
gees and malcontents on this side of The
Rio Grande are going to the assistance of
General SandovaL An armed party of
400 of them crossed the Rio Grande into
Mexico, a short distance above Browns

Thousands of Dollars Worth of Property
MISUNDERSTANDING by Moonlight.
BISMARCK, N, D., Sept. 2i.-Dispatches
from points in both Dakotas show no
amelioration of the situation. The heat
is intolerable everywhere, and at night
the spectacle is presented in nearly fifty
counties of farmers threshing by the light
Of the full moon, accumulated in spots by
the blaze of prairie fires. In sections where
the crops have been harvested there is a
fervent prayer for rain, without which
there is the greatest danger of the most
disastrous series of fires ever known.
Fire in All Directions.
The western counties in this state are
also suffering, and fires are reported from
Clay Norman, and Traverse counties,
where fire lines are being burned in all di-
rections by anxious farmers. The streets
of this city are dark as midnight with i'm
mense volumes of smoke in the air. Not
withstandirg the warnings necessarily
uttered by those who have suffered by
this territlr scourge in the past, the ordi-
nary precautions are not taken by the
farmers and ranchmen of western North
Dakota, and the result is that many thu l.
sands OF dollars worth of property is now
In ashes, and ruin faces many a man.

Seemed Like Amos.

Silas Rodes was a strong, hard work
ing farmer; his brother Amos was a con
filmed invalid who, three or four times
a year, had "spells" Of expecting to die,
but. nevertheless, always managed to
live. Still, he was really i'll, and many
thought him to be in considerable danger.
But, while Amos was sick and expect
ing to die, it CHANGED that the strong
Silas did actually die very suddenly. A
messenger carried the sad news to his
sister Elvira, a grim spinster. who lived
in a distant part of the town.
, She heard the message with some in
credulity.
""Taint SiIas ye mean: it's Amos" she
said in reply.
Why, no." answered the messenger.
II mean Silas. Amos is all right. It's

A citizen of Westerly, Il. L., says the
historian Of the town, enlisted as a pri-
vateer during one of the early wars Of
the country. 1t was perilous business,
but patriotic feelings and visions Of gold
carried the day with him.
His cruise Tas long and eventful, but
at last he returned home and received an
appropriate welcome. AS o as the
first greetings were over, his mother in

Gotham boasts of a host of literary
connoisseurs, who spend fortunes with
