QUIET HOME WEDDING.
Mr. Donald Million and Miss Grace

evening at the home of the bride on
Elm street. The ceremony was very

F. Walker at 8 o’clock in the presence

bride's family.
Immediately afterwards the bride
and groom were tendered an informal
yet very delightful reception at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Ferguson.
Mrs. Million is a very pretty young
lady of sweet disposition, who will
grace the home of her helpmeet
through life with the sunshine of an
optimistic nature and the other
charms of true womanhood. The
groom is assistant foreman at the
button factory and a young man of
good reputation, to whom we would
extend congratulations.
The newly wed will make Newport
their borne until Christmas when they
expect to leave for Canton, Missouri,
the old home of the groom.
The Independent extends best
wishes for a wedded life crowded with
pleasures and the happiness of a
mutual affection.

SHOULD MAKE A GOOD STREET.
_
Street Commissioner J. S. Hill is
confident that the work now being
done on Second street will be lasting,
at least for years to come, with very
little further expense to the city. In
answer to those who claim that wag
ons from the many dirt streets lead
ing into Second will soon ruin the
paving on that thoroughfare, he
points out the present condition of
Beech street, which was paved six
years ajo a width of sixteen feet from
Front to Lake Avenue and also
the short block on Lake Avenue to
the bridge. These Btreets remain in
good shape today, except in front
of the livery barn on Beech, where
the fault lays with the stone used,
which was of a sandy nature and dif
ferent from that called for under the
contract.
The paving on Second street, says
Mr. Hill, will be thirty feet in width
and one foot in depth. The work of
grading has been completed and the
rock which is to be thrown on and
broken up with hammers is expected
the first of next week. E. R. Beane
of Russell has a contract for twenty
five cars.

GREAT SALT LAKE.
No Living Thing in it and No Danger
of Being Drowned.
The water of the Great Salt Lake,
Utah, is clear and transparent, with a
bottom of fine white sand and a mar
gin of incrusted salt. It is one of the
purest and most concentrated brines
in the world. Its waters give sus
tenance to no living thing; there is
not the smallest insect or worm to
frighten the most timid bather, and
the bathing is the most perfect sea
bathing in the whole of North Ameri
ca or in Europe. No human body can
sink in it. Your body will persistent
ly rise up, the shoulders above the
surface, or you may even sit down in
it. Its wonderful buoyancy must be
experienced to be realized. No
knowledge of swimming is necessary;
one may enter the lake without the
slightest fear; all you have to do is to
lie down and float. But to swim in it,
that is another thing. When your
hands are put under the water to take
a stroke, your feet, like Banquo’s
ghost, will not go down. It is im
possible to keep more than one end
of your body under water at a time.
Nearly half a million people bathe in
the Great Salt Lake every year; they
come from all over the world, and
tourists are beginning to realize that
Salt Lake City with its magnificent
surroundings presents the greatest
scope of novelty, and is destined to
be a leading watering place.
Salt Lake City and Great Salk Lake
are best reached via the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Rio Grande Western.
Via this route the traveler has a choice
of two lines through the Rocky moun
tains—via Royal Gorge, Leadville,
canon of the Grande river and Glen
wood Springs, or via Marshall Pass
aud the Black canon of the Gunnison;
and if a round trip ticket is secured
reading both ways via “The Scenic
Line of the World and “The Great
Salt Lake Route” one line may be
used going and the other returning.
Through sleeping and dining cars
from Chicago and St. Louis to San
Francisco and Portlaud are run daily
via this route. Tourist rates now in
effect. Write S. K. Hooper, G. P. &
T. A., Denver, Colo., for illustrated
pamphlets describing fully the scenic
attractions.
