BLANCHE ELOpED.
Mr.. and Mrs. MCKinistry Awake to
Find Her Missing.

Blanche Edith McKinistry, the nine
teen year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. w. McKinistry, residing in
the Worden residence on Second
street, near Lincoln, eloped on the
evening of Saturday,..;Aug %. Her
companion in the elopement is Solo,
mon Remington, an itinerant laboring
man who alleges that: Kasson, Dodge
county, is his headquarters.
Blanche Edith has been romantic
for number of years, according to
her parents and those who know her
lest. Her reading was on the line of
romance and Rider Haggard and the
other novelists found warm spots in
her bosom, so far as their literature
was concerned. Moving around with
her parents in a camping wagon, 60
ing from place to place, and only re-
naming short time in each place,
she easily cultivated the vein of ro-
nance that so easily appears in her
every action and in all her conversa-
ton. She is of medium hei ghth, not
overly handsome, ss.and to the right
pair of masculine eyes, she might con-
tradict the former statement. Rem
ington, her companion in the elope
ment, has been lowering around the
McKinistry camp wagon ever since
last winter McKinistry has been
keeping him and neither McKinstry
or his wife ever had any suspicion
that the man had designs upon their
eldest daughter.
| The elopement occurred as stated
above, on Saturday evening, Aug. p.
1t was after dark. Remington was
apparently in the back yard, while
Blanche Edith was occupying a seat
on the porch with herssmother. This
was in frontsof thessresidence. All of a
sudden the girl complained of slight
illness and inquired of her mother
whether certain preparation could
be found in the house. The mother
directed her to the place and paid no
further attention to the girl, suppos-
| ing that she had prepared and taken

genuine rustling contest. Dropping
the suggestion that Mr.. Dornberg
will be candidate for treasurer there
are other candidates. Freeman Olson
of this city is likely to come out as an
independent candidate and candi-
date for the Democratic nomination.
The Democrats will control the place,
of course. Peter Eischen of Belview
is also looking over the field with the
hopes that the nomination might fall
upon him and the contest between the
two will be exciting.
No candidates have been mentioned
for clerk of court up to the present
time, the leaders desiring to wait un-
til after the Republican convention
before they decided just who to put
up for that place. Frank Birkenmeyer
of this city has been mentioned only
as possible candidate but MIR. Birk-
enmeyer is not decided as to whether
or not to run.
For sheriff another conflict is likely
to ensue. Chief of Police Crooks, it
is understood, has been trimming his
sails for the position for long time
past. He has been a Woodworking
Republican up to the time of the free
silver craze swept over the country
and he was caught by the tidal wave.
He is button-holing Populists and
Democrats alike for the place. But
Peter Praxel of Lamberton is the
Democrat who will be pushed for
ward by that side of the wagon for
the Office and he is commencing to
trim his sails that way. He makes
the point that nearly all the other Of
fees are located in this city and that
it is time to 60 south for the remain
der.
For county attorney Your Uncle
Jos. Chadderdon, W. J. Mcleod and
Arthur L. Mohler of Lamberton, the
former a Populjst, the second Demo
crat and the third a free silver Repub-
lican, are all in favor Of getting such
free advertising as they might be able
to get out of the nomination. Your
Uncle 10 may not stand on account of
recent developments and Attorney
Mcleod claims that he has not sound
ed man in favor of his candidacy.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-09-03

He does not know whether be will
stand or not. It is pretty generally
conceded on this side that Mr.. Mohl-
or will stand, however.
The nomination for the Office of
Judge of probate will go to J. B. Rob-
inson, according to the present pro-
gramme, as stated above. For regis
ter of deeds not single person has
been mentioned. The Pops and Dem
ocrats both favor a south side man for
the place. The nomination for sup
erintendent of schools is also likely to
go begging on account of Mr.. Races
popularity throughout the county.
The nominations for surveyor, court
commissioner and coroner are all like
ly to go begging and it is probable
that they will not be filled by either of
the two conventions. DR.. @. P. Glib
son may be nominated for coroner,
however.
1t is not likely that Your Uncle
James Arnold will stand for nomina-
ton for the commissionership from
the first district, even though he
is defeated for representative. Just
who the candidate of the fusion tick
ct will be is not known. The same
might be said of the third district, al
though some Populist or Democrat
from Shutdown or Brookville is likely
to be nominated. In the fifth district
Adolph Leonard is likely to stand for
a nomination and he may have several
opponents from Delhi, Homer and
other towns before the conventions
meet.

what she proposed to and then retired
for the evening. Later the parents
found that their daughter was miss
ing. Even then they supposed she
had gone out for walk. They retir
ed, expecting that she would soon ap-
pear. Morning came and Blanche
Edith was still missing. Inquiry was
then made and it was learned that she
was with Remington the night before.
The two had been seen together on a
walk to the falls half an hour after the
girl inquired for the preparation at
home. After that time nothing was or
has been seen or heard of them.
Remington had no team and how
he got out of town is a MYSTERY. He
must have left that evening. There
are some who think that he en-
gagged livery and left with the girl,
and the fact that he negotiated small
loan, amounting to SIS, that afternoon,
rather confirms this statement. All of
the livery stable men deny letting a
team to stranger or any one else Of
Remington's kind that night. Others
are of the opinion that the two walk
ed out of the city.
The girl has been learning to ride a
bicycle during the past two weeks.
She has been renting wheel of the
rental agency and taking it down to
the house. She acquired the habit of
riding fairly we'll just before her de-
parture. Remington, it is stated,
knew how to ride a wheel, but neither
owned wheel and it is not probable
that they got out of town in that man
ner. 1t is stated that Blanche Edith
frequently spoke of romantic elope-
ment on bicycle, however.
A reporter called on Mrs. McKinis-
try last Saturday morning. She was
very much put out over the elopement
and stated that if the whereabouts of
the couple could be learned that
Remington would be arrested. On
just what charge she did not state.
She was sure, however, that Reming-
ton, was the moving spirit in bring
about the elopement.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fear-
ing men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many
years, and it is always the same, simple,
honest, curative medicine that has
helped to make the Shakers the healthy,
long-lived people that they are. The
Shakers never have indigestion. This
is partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges-
ton is caused by the stomach glands
not supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial invigorates
the stomach and all it's glands SO that
after a while they don't need help. AS

STOLE HER BIKE.
Bold Theft on Third Street of
this City.

lNIS WY.
Miss Christine Sample, a milliner of
this city, left her bicycle standing
next to Andersen's photograph gallery
on Third street, shortly after eight
o'clock last Thursday evening. She
stepped into the gallery to visit with
Mrs. Andersen. Half an hour later
she came out of the gallery prepared
to take short spin before tying up
for the night. Her wheel was missing
it had been stolen.
Miss Samples first conclusion was
that some one of her many young lady
friends in this city, who had acquired
the habit of riding a bicycle, but who
were not fortunate enough to own a
wheel, knowing her willingness to loan
the wheel at any time, had taken it
out for ride while she was visiting
Mrs. Andersen, with the expectation
of returning it in short time. Con-
sequently, she waited at the photo
graph gallery for half an hour or
more, talking to Mrs. Andersen and
making light over the disappearance
of the "bike" But when a half hour
had passed away and the wheel did
not put in an appearance Miss Sam
pie became suspicious and commenced
making inquiries for the wheel. She
could get no trace of any person pass
ing that way and taking the wheel
The police we're Immediately informed
but they were.unable to locate either
the wheel or the thieves.
Not clue could be found to the
missing wheel until Saturday morn
ing, when GeorgeszPryor, the Mill
street feed store man, hearing that
Miss Sample had lost bicycle short
ly after eight o'clock Thursday even
ing, recalled to his mind a purchase
of quantity of feed at his store by
strangers about that time. The stran-
gers claimed that they we're going to
Morton that night, load a car of
goods andistart the same for Albert
Lea. He statedithat.they were very
uneasy and nervous and when he vol
unteered to put assack or two of feed
in their wagon they objected, saying
they preferred:putting it in themselves
as they knew just where they wanted
it.
This was merely Improbable clue to
the missing bicycle. Miss Sample
Immediately dispatched a deputy
sheriff to Morton to make inquiries
regarding the parties. An investiga-
ton is going on at the time that this
paper goes to press.
This is the first bicycle stolen on
the streets of Redwood Falls. Own
ers have been unusually careless about
allowing their wheels to stand around
next to buildings and allowing them
to remain out over night. In case the
thief or thieves in this case are moi
apprehended and prosecuted there is
likely to be more bicycle stealing in
the future.

In some places the earth has been
