ARIZONA possesses one OF the finest

two exceptions. the most extensive

Such, in brief, are the two lively
territories just now entering upon a
period of prosperity and which will once
more appeal to congress for recogni-
ton as states. They comprise what is
left of the American frontier, which,
like the American desert, has almost
disappeared. And when they, along
with Oklahoma, are admitted to full
sisterhood, both the frontier and the
desert will be only picturesque mem
cries.

In the testimony introduced today by tho
defense were the statements of WagneTs two

a complete alb for their father. and they did
1t by means of his snore Both testified that
they knew their father was at home all tho

They were certain OF this fact because when
asleep he had peculiar snore which was diff

kind rendered by any one else They had
heard him snoring before thev went 20 sleep
and therefore knew he was in the house at
that time and not at the factory. II he had
gone out during the night, they said, he would

MY TERY IS CLEARED.
Confession Leads to Recovery of the
POdv of Mrs Merry

CHICAGO. Nov 2S.-The mystery surround
ing the disappearance of Mrs. Pauline Merry
from her home at 30 Hope ttreet, solved
this afternoon by the confession OF Thomas
Hickey, who was arrested on suspicion.
Hickey told revolving story of how Christie
pher Merry ehoked and beat his wife a week
ago last Friday. Then, finding it impossible
to restore his wife to consciousness, Hickey
says that Merry decided to put her out of
her misery" The horrible story told by
Hickey was extorted from him after hours of
questioning in the sweat box" Late this
afternoon he led party of police to a unin-
habited portion of the city, near Eighty sew
enth street and Western avenue, where Mrs.
Merry's body was found buried beneath few
inches of loose dirt by the roadside.
The disappearance of Mrs. Merry excited
almost as much interest as that of Mrs. Luet-
CERT Last Saturday the police learned that
she had been made away with by her hus-
hand at his cottage in Hope, street Merry
was a peddler and owned several horses.
When the police began their investigation a
three-year-oId son of Merry's told them that
his father had killed his mother.

Manchester Markets.

MANCHESTER Nov. 28.-The public re-
ports for the last week were quieter. but prob
ably business was really larger than before.
Large Eastern cloth orders, both yarns and
goods, were placed. and some lines Of shirt
ings, at very low prices. China and India
now promise well the food crop prospects Of
the latter being excellent. The position Of
the manufacturers is very uneven, but the
Eastern looms are generally fairly engaged
for two years. Yarns In moderate supply are
holding their ground fairly, but the prospect
OF avoiding a strike is now more uncertain.
Advices from Rouen show a better demand
there though at rather lower prices than for
the week ending with Nov. 20. The German
and Austrian markets are depressed, the
stocks OF yarns and goods being large.
