Concrete Walks Ordered.

Last Monday special meeting of the
city council was held for the purpose of
taking up the question of building side
walks in Van Buren,. The special COM
mittee then reported they had investi-
gated and stated that arrangements
could be made by the city for concrete
walks, without curb, at 12ic per square
foot, and possibly rs low rs 10c.
The council practically decided to
order and contract for d 4-fOot wide
walk-which would mean to the owners
Of property along the route so cents per
running foot-on the following streets ;
Fourth street from Main to Broad
way, on both sides.
Fifth Street from Main to Broadway,

Under the ordinance the property
owners will be given 30 days notice, at
the expiration of which time, If the work

tsch and parties will be subject to fine
for each day thereafter.
The property owners will be allowed
to contract for walks as individuals, but
must build them in accordance with
specifications made by the city, 1t will
be better for them, however to contract
through the city for the work, ~ they
will get IL done at no excess over the

Besides when the work is done in this

Prominent Finaneler for Judge Parker.


Mr.. Spencer Trask, head Of the
big New York banking house bear
ing HIS name, and who supported
Mr.. Mckinley in the two previous
presidential elections. announces
that he will support Judge Parker
IN the present campaign.
In an interview IN the n. Y.
Herald, September LIST, Mr.. Trask
says:
"While President Roosevelt has
been much subdued and very quiet
for the last two months, there is
no telling when he will break ont
again, particularly if he should be
elected for full term Of four
years. In my oppinion this is not
the time to take chances. The
personalities of the two candidates
are before us, and we must Judge
them by the past. | do not think
there can be any question that
Judge Parker is a much safer man
than President Roosevelt. Judge
Parker has at all times shown q
disposition to be calm and delib.
erative, to observe the law aud
the constitution instead Of his own
personal desires. President ROose.
velts course, on the other hand,
has always shown a tendency to.
ward recklessness and a disregard

A pretty home wedding was
solemnized at Friendly last evening
at 7 o'clock, which united the lives
of Mr.. James Umpleby and Miss
Stella Livingston, two prominent
young people of our neighbor town,
The marriage was a very quiet at
fair, only the families OF the con-
tracing parties and few of their
most intimate friends being pres
ent. The wedding occurred at the
beautiful home of the BRIDES par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Liv-
iugton. The ceremony was per.
formed by Rev. c. w. Miller,pastor
of the NJ. Z church of Friendly.
The spacious parlors had been
elaborately decorated for the happy
event. Flowers and vines had been
artistically arranged about the
commodious rooms and the effect
was very pleasing to the eye. In
one corner of the front apartment a
bower had been formed by pretty
draping of green vines and just
over head was a bunch Of brides
roses. Under this the marriage
ceremony was performed.
The bride Is a handsome and
attra tive young lady and the eld.
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Liv.

but they cannot secure h,uses.
Every word Of this IS true, and
these conditions have existed for
wears. There Is great deficiency
here In the rlgh: sort Of houses for
rent, and the worst feature OF the
deplorable state of affairs Is, thtr
does not seem to be any attempt
on the part of the landowners to
supply the demand. Something
ought 10 be done. Fifty houses,
with ordinary modern conveniences
could be rented to good advau
tage on short notice.
