ONE FOR MCKINLEY.
His Followers Here Enthused at
the Opera House Saturday.

Following the canvass OF this city
made by some of the admirers OF the
famous champion of the protective
tariff, VIM. Mckinley of Ohio, call
was circulated on Friday and Saturday
of last week for Mckinley rally at
the opera house on Saturday evening.
About noon Saturday bills were scat
tered announcing the meeting as a
sure thing.
A good sized audience, probably
about one hundred voters in all, with
about twenty or thirty women, was in
attendance when the meeting was
called to order and organized by the
election of Col. Frank Ring as chair
man and E. E. Harriott as secretary
AS advertised the programme was
to consist of speaking favorable to the
Ohio Major and Ex-Governor and
glee club music. j. H. Bowers, who
was one of the principle Mckinley en-
thusiasts after j r. Lankard and A.
H. Anderson started out the Mckinley
petition, was the first speaker He
stated that he was the first speaker on
the list on the principle that small
boy fred off his small firecrackers
first, reserving the large crackers until
the last. Judge Bowers then briefly
reviewed the tariff measures and gave
Maj. Mckinley great amount Of
credit for the protective bill pulled
from the statute books by the last
Democratic congress. He spoke o.
political tricks and the necessity Of
organizing the Mckinley forces in or
der that the Major might get a fail
show.
Judge Bowers was followed by At
torney E. E. Harriott, who was brin
full of Mckinley enthusiasm, and SEN
off fresh and larger firecracker every
few seconds. His talk was directly
from the McKinly standpoint and wal
received with applause.

TWICE MARRIED.
An Innocent Publication Causes q
Great Deal of Comment.

REAVER FALLS, MINI, ON MARCH
n II, 1890, Levi Owen OF the county ol
Renville and Amelia Juhnke OF tue county
Also at North Redwood: Mimi, by Charles
Fleischer ESQ., Justice OF the Pea SGe on b o
Sd, 1895, Levi Owen and Amena o"eh' oo'n
of Redwood county, MINI.
The above marriage notice was
printed in last weeks issue OF HE
GAZETTE. The circumstances leading
up to the publication are interesting
About ten years ago Mr.. Owen first
met the woman who is now his wife.
She was then Miss Amelia Juhnke,
residing in this city temporarily, but
having come here from Renville coun-
ty, where, it appears, her parents were
then residing. Mr.. Owen courted the
Girl for four or five years and on
March 18th, 1890, was married to her
at Beaver Falls, Mimi. According to
MIR. Ovens story he, accompanied by
his bride-to-be, went to Beaver Falls
for the license, and in the clerk OF
courts office they also found an Of
fetal who was anxious and empowered
to marry them, the ceremony was &C.
cordingly performed then and there
The two continued to live together
for about two years without any
welded disturbances. At the end OF
that time, however, it appears dit
ferences arose between them and Mrs.
Owen applied for divorce M. M.
Madigan had the case for her and
when asked for attorneys fees to tight
the case against him Mr.. Owen
promptly paid Mr.. Madigan, and as
sisted in every manner possible to Sc
cure the divorce. 1t is claimsd that
the divorce was granted, although Mr.
Owen claims thst the whole proceed
ing was invalid.
1t appears that the couple, shortly
after the alleged granting OF divorce,
became reconciled, and on June Sd,
1896, without the knowledge OF any
one except the justice, appeared before
Justice Charles Fleiscber at North
Redwood and were reunited in legal
form.
Mr.. Owen, during all this time, was
a member of society in this city
The granting of the divorce was
known to members but it appears thai
the re-marriage was not known. Wher
Mr.. Owen was approached on the sub
iect he stubbornly refused to answer
in the affirmative or negative. Hi'
wife was member of an auxiliary or
ganization and the divorce caused
comment among the members OF the
same because it was claimed that Mrs
Owen could not hold membership
Of late there has been so much tall
regarding the affair that Owen ordered
the publication of the notice in Hi
GAZETTE of last week.

Of the debate in the Martin school
house, was the next speaker. His
speech was not made in partisan
spirit but,was thoroughly Republican
in the strict sense of the word. 1t
aroused the enthusiasm of Republi-
cans, irrespective of their choice OF
Presidential candidates. His eulogy
on Mckinley was eloquent and lifted
the occasion. He paid a tribute to
Senator Davis as a scholar and states
man and as Minnesota's favorite son.
The latter seemed to give force and
sincerity to all of Mr.. Patterson's re-
marks in behalf of Gov. Mckinley.
His speech was heartily applauded at
frequent intervals.
Other speakers were D. A. Stuart
Rev. John Sinclair, Thos. Jones, ).
Pollard, E. R. Houck, A. E. King, and
Chas. Fleischer, the latter of North
Redwood, and Treasurer Lankard.
w. j. Mcleod, the well-known
champion of Democracy, wandered In
to the hall during the meeting, evil
IDENTIFY to listen to his Republican
brothers expound McKinleyism, and
to incidentally get pointers to be used
in his coming debate with Andrew
Stewart. Some one called "McLeod."
The cry was taken up and Nc. was
forced to his feet-just another case
of the Republicans catching Demo-
crat in an embarrassing position. Nc.
got out of it by advising the Republi-
cans to put up the best man they had
and then the Democrats would make
it as interesting for them as possible,
under the present circumstances. He
then backed out of the door and was
heard going down the stairs three
steps at time.
Here attorney Bowers moved that a
collection be taken up to defray the
expenses of the meeting. 1t was done
and the Judge made point by say
ing that is was an illustration OF the
Mckinley tariff bill by taxing a
luxury.
The meeting was rendered more
pleasant by the presence of the Glee
Club, and also personal selections rem
dered on the piano by Mrs. Chas. G
johnson, all of which met with ap
plause. The meeting was closed with
the singing of America"
| One feature of the evening, not OF
the program, was the beautiful Ma
poleonic, statuesque, and picturesque
attitudes adopted by James l.. Byram
who evidently wanted every one pres
ent to know that he was not only clea
on top of the band wagon, but wa
riding the leaders, too. The pose
were similar to those adopted by tina
politician when he bolted the Repub
lican county convention about L
years ago and attempted to set up
Republican party of his own.
