ORLEANS
CURIOUS MHTRIMONIRL MIX.

Mrs Ash said in court that in 1885
she was welded to William Ash. They
lived together for several years at
Orchard Lake, Michigan. Fourteen
years ago, Mrs. Ash-Sheppard said,
Ash told her that he was going away,
never to return. Mrs. Ash alleges that
she was creditably infomed that Ash
was dead, and that only recently she
learned that he is alive at Sethbridge,
Alerta, Northwest Territory, Canada.
Mrs. Ash married DR.. Clark Shep-
pard in 1896. He is proprietor Of a
sanitarium in Upper Sandusky. Judge
Pugsley granted the decree on the
ground of Ash's willful absence. Mrs.
Ash-Sheppard tripped lightly from the
court room. In the corridor she met
DR.. Sheppard. The two walked down
to the court house park, seated them
selves upon a bench and engaged in
an extended conference

tiating to have Mrs. Ash take charge
of branch sanitarium for him.

What is the remedy"
ut SENS to me that it would be
very easy to lower the tariff, which
would give the American consumer an
opportunity to purchase American
goods at decreased price, and, if
necessary, the American manufacturer
could raise the price slightly abroad.
Something, however, ought to be
done. The present condition Of af-
fairs is not just to the American con-
suner, and I do not believe the Amer
lean people will stand it much longer
Something is radically wrong when
can buy American shoes abroad for
less than pay for them here, notwith-

TOLEDO, O., Oct. 3.-Judge Pugsley
yesterday disposed of curious matri-
monial mix in which it transpired that
three divorce suits in which Mrs. Lu-
cinda Shepard was party have been
disposed of in different courts in two
cities, Toledo and Upper Sandusky,
this week.
One husband, DR.. Shepard, known
as Husband No. 2, obtained a divorce
from this same woman, under the
name of Mrs. Sheppard, at Upper San
dusky last Tuesday. She obtained
another divorce in Judge Pugsley's
court yesterday, under the name Of
Mrs. Ash, from William Ash, Husband
No. 1, and still another divorce case in
which she was plaintiff against DR..
Shepard was marked off the docket.
Paradoxical as it5Ynay seem, Mrs. Ash
Sheppard had only two husbands prior
to last Tuesday, notwithstanding that
she was mixed up in three divorce
cases.

AMERICAN MAD6 SHOES TELL 4 GOOD STORY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3.-When

Democrats to Form a Club
Mass Meeting for TONIGHT

There will be a Democratic mass
meeting at the court house tonight.
1t will be held in the district court
room, and will be called to order at
o'clock sharp.
The meeting is of Importance to all
members Of the party, and a large at
tendance is earnestly requested. The
object Of calling the members of the
party together at this time is to form
Democratic club for the coming cam
paign. The time until election Is
getting short, and it is about time that
the Democrats started to return the
fire of the enemy.
The Republicans have had their
batteries in operation for the past
three months, but have succeeded in
doing little damage except to them
selves The party guns have been
tearing great breaches in their own
lines. and the wounded members of
the camp are slowly finding their way
into the Democratic ranks. It but re-
mains for the Democrats to put on
| the finishing touches in the next few
weeks. and the annihilation of the
enemy is complete. The speech-load-
ers will have to be polished up. The
old wdr horses will have to be har-
messed up and young ones will have
to be gotten into line.
The mass meeting this evening was
called to effect these things. The
Democrats have no club at present.
1t will be next to an impossibility to
make an active campaign this fall
without a party organization, and all
Democrats are earnestly requested to
take part this evening in forming one.

'It SENS a very great injustice and
imposition for American citizens to be
forced to pay such high prices here
when foreigners secure the same things
at much lower rate.
1T is the high tariff that is to
blame. The American manufacturer
says that he must be protected against
the foreigner, This is not true. He
has nothing to fear from the foreign
manufacturer, because he is success
fully invading the foreign markets.
Neither is it true that the American
goods which are sold abroad are sur
plus products. The American man
ufacturer is selling his goods at fair
profit abroad, and at a tremendous
profit at home"
