age over I,lhe placid sea of matrimony.
 The Presbyterian church was we'll filled with the friends of the contract ing parties, Florence Esther Willis craft and J. Ernest Walker. The ros- trum was beautifully decorated with roses and peppers. Flowers covered the screens and from the chandeliers hung punches of peppers. Three stands on the rostrum were loaded down with sweet scented roses, fitting emblems of the occasion. In front of the pulpit stood tall arch, also covered with flowers and peppers.
 A few minutes past 8 o'clock Mrs. L. A. Sherman, ilhe organist, struck up the merry peals of a wedding march, and slowly down the aisle came the ushers, Dr. Duffield and H. A. Diehl, followed by the groomsman, George Spangler, and the bridesmaid, Miss Maggie Williscraft. The bride and groom came last and took their posi- tions in front of the arch. The bride was attired in a dress of cream silk and carried in her hand a bouquet of flowers.
 The bride made very charming ap- pearance and her responses were given in clear, dis inct tone. After the cer- emony the couple took their departure for their home.
 MT. Walker, the groom, is we'll known and most popular young man of this city. He came here about three years ago from West Virginia He has been most active in church work, and for a year past has been president of Ilhe Young Peoples Chris tian Endeavor society of the Presby- terian church. Of unusual business perception and of habits most exem- plary, he soon won many friends who rejoice that he has chosen such a worthy young lady to share his joys and sorrows through life.
 The bride is the second daughter of MT. and Mrs. George Williscraft of ,his city. She is beautiful young lady, of happy disposition and many accomplishments. She was a favorite in a great circle of friends, who wish for her a future of unalloyed ihappi- ness with the man of her choice.
 The couple will be at home after No vember 10 in Phoenix.

SHOT BY BA,NDLH- !.
The New Mexico Stage Robbers Kill
 George Parker.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 2S.-Last Mon day night The desperadoes who held up the stage near this place went up to the Circle-Diamond roundup on Felis river and asked for George Parker, who was a former deputy sheriff. He was away at the time, but arrived in the evening. When Parker arrived the youngest of the bandits went up to him as if he desired to shake hands, but instead pulled his pistol and shot Parker dead.
 It now transpires that there are but two in the party of bandits, but they no doubt belong to gang numbering nearly a score which has been operat- ing extensively in this section of late.
 After killing Parker the desperadoes left in a straight line over the prairie to Cedar Hill, where brCi her resides, and then came on north of Ell ,Capitan ranch and from there to Mail Pass, where they held up the stages on Wednesday at o'clock p. m. last week.

Delegations Still Pour Into Canton to Shake His Hand anu Listen to Encouraging Words from the Next President.

CANTON, O., Oct 2S.-There never was a more inspiring scene than that witnessed on Public square in this city from to o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, and the scene was repeated again this afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-(Special Dispatch to The Republican .)-Govern- or B. J. Franklin of Arizona, who left Phoenix last week, reached Washing ton yesterday and today spent several hours at the interior department in consultation with Secretary Francis. The governor was the secretary's guest at luncheon Governor Franklin com pleted his annual reporit a short time before leaving for the capital. He brought it with him in order to make any explanation of its contents which the secretary of the interior might de- sire.
 MT Francis is now engaged upon the construction of his own report, which will include those of the terri torial governors. It will be a volumi- nous affair, and naturally he is anxious to make il. as comprehensive as pos sible.
 Governor Franklin's report is cer- tain to attract attention anew to the resources of Arizona. Secretary Fran cis said to friend this evening that he was very much impressed with the statements set forth in it. Like many other citizens of these United States the secretary had but an imperfect idea of the advantages to be found in the great southwestern territory.
 The governors report is profusely illustrated, which will make it more valuable than it otherwise would have been. Pictures go a long way in gov ernment circles. The governor starts out with the assertion that the people of Arizona are in favor of statehood. Several pages are devoted to this sub ject, but the governor, of course. does not endorse the Republican view thal. statehood would surely follow Repub- lican success in the Nation azd the territory
 He shows that the total mining out put of the territory for the last year was 13,97S,26s. Of this amount gold aggregated s5,2OO,O0O, exclusive of about $eO0,G00 taken by prospectors and placer miners. The total increase for the year is $940,0o0.
 The total product of gold, silver and copper in Arizona for the twenty years ended June 30 last aggregated $R7, 166,016. The cattle shipments from the territory from January l, 1894, to June 30, 1896, reached 595,37S head. The territorial board of returns show that the value of taxable property has gained a half million dellars during the year and conservative men claim the actual valuation to be s90,000 ,000
 These are the chief points touched upon in the report, which is exhaustive The governor will return to Arizona iE a few days.

 The Tucson Citizen says there is an attempt on the part of the Democratic party managers to prejudice by false representation the minds of Mexican chizeas against the several candidates on the Republican ticket. In circuasrF, and in sweeping charges, unbiased in truth. born of malicious surmise, thsy address themselves to race prejudice. and hope by misrepresentation to in- fuence the vote of a part of OUT citizens against those who are as much the fkienas and more than they or the men of their party are or have ever shown themselves to be.
