for any officer or soldier of the United
States, she shall be regarded and held

the town plying her avocation' arous-
ed widespread Indignation in the Con-
federate States 1t also led to much
criticism of Butler in the North, with
the result that he was suppIanted in
New Orleans by Banks. The latter
was much more successful than his
predecessor in winning the respect
and confidence of the officials and peo-
pie of the conquered city.
In 1864 Banks was placed in COM
mand Of the Red River expedition,
which had for its object the reposses-
sion of Texas by an invasion via the
Red River and Shreveport. This pro-
ject was undertaken against the judg-
ment and protest of General Banks.
A fleet of gunboats and an army of
troops dispatched by General Sher-
man co-operated with the force led by
Banks. Alexandria, on the Red River,
was taken, and the Union army met
with no opposition until it had passed

Shrebeport- Confederates from Texas

tie resulted in disaster to the Nation
ais, but at Pleasant Grove and again
at Pleasant Hill Banks was victorious.
In spite of these temporary successes,
Banks was forced to retreat, and, con-
stantly harassed by sharpshooters, the
Union army made it's way back to
Alexandria. After many difficulties

MARRIAGE MADE LEGAL.
Mr.. and Mrs, e. p. Gale Have Second
Weddinu Ceremony Performed.

Mr.. ana MrS. e. r, yale nave SECOND
Wedding Ceremony Performed.
Explanation Of a most unusual news
story at this distance was made this
morning with the return Of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. p Gale from Chicago. where
Saturday they were remarked by Judge
Dean Franklin. A flaw in their former
marriage contract. supposed to
have been legally performed in Chica-
go in 1908. was responsible for the Sec
ond marriage Of the couple. Recently
1t has been learned that marriages per-
formed by the minister who performed
the first ceremony are Illegal because
an Illinois law, which vested ministers
with perpetual authority to perform
marriage ceremonies, had been amend
ed to exclude Christian Science read
ers. .M
It was a decidedly out of the -ordi-
nary story the Times Republican re-
ceived from Chicago late Saturday,
telling of the granting Of a marriage IL
cense there to Ell P. Gale, aged IS, and
Frances Fursman, aged IS, both Of
Marshalltown.
As 1t was known here that Mr.. Gale
had gone to Chicago Friday night. and
that Mrs. Gale had been there since the
preceding week: furthermore that Mrs.
Gales maiden name was Frances Furs-
man, it seemed impossible that there
could be any duplication Of names. The
possibility Of a practical joke was con-
sidered, but It was realized that this
was next to an impossibility. The fur
Their contingency Of Strengthening out
O marriage ceremony later found to be
illegal seemed the most plausible, and
this proved to be the case when an ex-
PLANTATION was made by Mr.. Gale to the
Times Republican today. Mr.. Gale said:
