Inc GLOW river log uflVe was gOCCen
into the main st. .Croix yesterday and
was left there, the crew coming down.
The drive, like many others. will re-
main hung up until heavy rains shall
furnish good driving stage Of water.
The st. Croix river is receding steadily,
and if the fall continues for another
week all work at the boom must be sus-
pended and three OF four hundred men
employed there discharged. E. w.
Durant says he has never known the
lake to be as low at this season of the
year as now. The pontoon gauge indi-

An event which many Saltwater
people have pleasurably anticipated oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon in the mar
riage of D. Nj. Henderson and Miss Hat
tie Needs, both of this city. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. w. II.
Albright, at o'clock, at the Presby-
terian church, which had been elabO-
rately decorated for the occasion. At
the hour named the bridal procession,
comprising fifty young ladies of the
mission band of which Miss Needs was
president, in advance, followed by two
little cousins of the bride, the Misses
Young, entered from the lecture room,
and, to the strains of Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march, proceeded to the altar,
where the young ladies formed in
double semicircle. Closely following
the young ladies came the bride and
groom, who took their places directly in
front of the desk, within the semi-circle.
The ceremony was briefly but impress
sively performed, after which the
bridal party returned to the lee
ture room of the church, the
organ again pealing the wedding march.
In the lecture room the bridal couple
remained for some time, receiving the
congratulations of friends who had filled
the church. The young ladies attend
ing at the altar were robed in white,
and each carried bouquet or basket of
flowers. Mrs. Henderson, who has
until this time been for several years
teacher in the Saltwater public schools,
carries with her the good wishes of very
many friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Hender-

F. Fl. Shedd, local agent of the Milwau-
kee Railway company, received intelli-
gence last evening of the death of his
mother at ZumbrOta, and started at
once for that place. Mrs. Shedd was
sixty-fve years of age, and had been
hOpelessly ill for many months.
1t is probable that two electric rail-
way street cars will be started out on
regular trips tomorrow, thus initiating
the service on the South and North
hills, but it is very doubtful if the en-
tire line is in operation this week.
