It is with pleasure that the Republi-
 can has the opportunity to chronicle
 the happy marriage of two of functions
 most popular young people-that of R. o. ThOmen and Kate A. Callen. Both groom and bride were born and grew up in Davis county, and are uni versally beloved and respected by the
 entire community, and we but echo the sentiment of the good people of this
 city when we say that the happy young
 people are worthy of each other. The bride is the eldest daughter of
 Hon. A. w. Callen. She graduated from the High School in this city, and
 was for several terms 8 successful teacher in our public schools.
 R. o. Thomen Is one of our most
 popular young business men. He and his step-sather, Capt. John K. Wright, are successful railroad contractors, and during the past year built the Lincoln extension of the Union Pacific railway. They also had large contract on the
 Blue Valley road.
 The ceremony occurred Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, at the residence of the brides parents, in the presence of
 the families of the contracting parties,
 Rev. A. Barnes officiating in his usual
 happy style.
 A reception was held from 8 to 10 o'clock at the residence of R. o. Tho men, corner of Fourth and Madison
 streets, where large number of frie nds and acquaintances assembled to offer congratulations. Thls house is scarcely completed, but MT. and Mrs Thomen
 began the erection of this residence scarcely six weeks ago, and wished to hold the reception in their own resi- dence, nd by hard work succeeded in
 accompl hing this much cherished wish.
 The bride wore . lovely white silk, diamonds and natural flowers. The groom wore the conventional black. The list of presents was very large and consisted of many beautiful gifts. We give the above report, taken from

Don't Ask Too Much.

A correspondent of the Silver City (N. M Enterprise very truthfully writes:
 You can make nothing out of your claims by holding them for big prices, and only drive away every prospect or chance to bring out camp. It does not matter who makes the first sale or who has tlle best prospect. The point at issue l., sell your claims and get some money, put yourself in condi- ton to go and prospect for another claim, and let some one who Is more able than you to go down on the claim you have sold. Claims as prospects will never become mines with 9 and 5O foot shafts upon them, and pros pectOrs cannot put them down to 100, l50. 20J and 390 feet to see what Is be- low Certainly prospects do not grow any richer, though they grow older, and the holder grow. older and, above all, poorer Let go."

A Ch,naman Fatally Wounded at
 F0iIVIeW

\ Chinaman, by the name of Wee Young, was fatally shot at Fairview Station, on the Atlantic X Pacific rail
 road, last Wednesday evening. It ap- pears from the testimony of Charley | Gang, d Chinaman who went to Fair
 view Tn reron>e to telegram from the
 unfortunate Mongolian, and Was with him until he died, that Wee Young went to fairyIew to cook at the section house thc:e. His valise, containing a H-calibre Colts revolver, was thrown of the train after him by one of the train employees. As it struck the ground the weapon was discharged, the ball enter ing the Cninam,n's abdomen and pass
 ing entirely through the body, came out little to the right of his backbone, having ranged slightly upward in its
 passage. He died from the effects of the wound at 10 20 the same evening, and his remains were brought to Flag staff the next morning.
 X coroner's jury was empaneled by Justice Tinker, Thursday afternoon, which rendered verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death from the accidental discharge of re- vOlver. No blame was attached to any one, as all the evidence goes to show at the shooting was purely accidental. The countrymen of the deceased were granted permit to bury him, which they did yesterday. Wee Young was well known in Flasstaif.-ChampiOn.
