Married Under Difficulties.


Citizen.
In the middle of the road, at the
west end of the Weiser river bridge
in Middle valley, on Sunday, January
10Th, John w. Alder and Miss Bertha
Pickett were united in the bonds of
matrimony by Rev. E. n. Elton, of
Salubria.
The wedding was to have been
solemnized in Salem school house at
the close Of the regular church SER
vice. Some sixty friends had gath
cred at the school house to participate
in the services and to witness the
marriage ceremony. The bride and
groom failed to put in an appearance
1t was not their fault. Together
with some forty friends from the west
side of the valley they had started
for the school house, but on reaching
the bridge found their way effectually
blocked. An ice gorge had torn
some forty feet off the west end Of
the bridge slick and clean. Even
love couldn't jump the chasm; but it
was not to be baked in that way, and
a way out of the difficulty was found.
Word was sent to the school house,
about one mile distant, and, at the close
of the services there, the preacher
and congregation fastened to the
bridge, where the would be- married
ones and attendant friends were
awaiting their coming with such pa
tence as they could command In
spite of the wide gap in the bridge
the matrimonial knot was success
fully tied. The east side friends did
not kiss the bride, and what may
have hurt the feelings of some of
them more, they also failed to get a
share Of the excellent wedding dinner
prepared by Mr.. and Mrs. Levi
Kethley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alder having begun
married life in the middle of the road
will doubtless succeed in travelling
together to worldly success and
welded bliss

CURES BY ELECTRICITY. 3 Y
How They are Effected by This Mysteri-
GUS Power-A Wonderful Remedy
for a Wonderful Are.

Electricity is the wonder of the
age, and the mode of treatment is the
acme of perfection. 1t penetrates
the secret ambush of disease and ex-
terminates it, root and branch, for
ever. 1t removes the wretched
symptoms of loathsome maladias and
averts it dreadful effects. 1t cures
many of the most hopeless cases and
relieves pains that every known rem
edy has failed in, and can be sub
stantiated by the evidence of hundreds
who have been cured by Dr. Darrin

WASHED AWAY.
The Misfortune winch Befals the irrigation
Company's Reservoir.

The Misfortune winch Befalls the irrigation
Companys Reservoir.
Mr.. Jarvis returned from Ogden
on receipt of the news that the Nut
meg reservoir had gone out
A gap of about forty feet in width
is washed out in the center of the
dam. Engineer Tush was at the
reservoir on Saturday and found
about fourteen feet of water. When
full the body of water would be
thirty feet in depth and mile and
half long by half to three fourths
in width. The snow had been melt
ing quite rapidly for some time and
he judged it would take several days
yet to fill and apprehended no danger
to the dam; He intended to allow it
to fill, so as to soak, and then raise
the tap On returning Monday he
found it overlooking and washing, and
the situation beyond anyone's power
to control Had the tap been raised
in time the dam might have been
saved, but no one could conceive of
so large an amount of water in so
short time, and the enormous guam
tity for that commonly known dry
basin may be imagined when it is
known that the waste box was sixteen
feet wide and four feet deep and still
would not discharge the water fast
enough. If the lower gate had been
raised, both together would probably
have carried off the flood Every
old settler told the projectors there
would never be water enough there to
fill the reservoir ten feet deep. The
result varies from this assurance
somewhat.
The company will now proceed
with the canal and this fall when the
ground can be worked will put in the
Cove dam and rebuild the Nutmeg
with stone. 1t cannot be repaired in
time for this season, owing to the
condition of the earth.
This is bad drawback, as the put
ting of water on that bench was one
of the sources from which a great
deal of activity was expected this
season, but it does not affect other
branches of our development. 1t
only delays settlement of the bench
one year, as water this season cannot
now be had, but that is discouraging
enough. There were great number
of people coming to locate under
that canal this spring, but they will
have to abide until 81 now.
