s,raint Of trade despite the attitude
Of President Roosevelt on the race.

gency which is but just disappearing
from the money marts fthc United
States. there was held % momcntous
conference in this city, which, IL the
terms Of the agreement reached by
those prescn, Is adhered 10. will bring
terror 10 the pocketbooks AMI woe TO
the loving hearts 81 every Yavspai
county couple contemplating entering
upon career of domestic felicity.
BY the agreement reached at the con.
ference. which was held In the Wilson
block, all competition will be elimin.
a,ed and prices will be held up 10

Rev. whea,lcy. the marrying par.
son. 4" and Judge McI.ane. the marry.
ing Justice" are the prime movers In
this latcs, combine, 60 which the Jour.
nal Miner hereby call. the attention Of
Attorney General Bonapar,e and
United States District Attorney Alex.
andcr. les, the fame ~ Prescott ss a
Grctna Green should receive, through
this combination for the elimination
Of competition for the honor land
priec) Of marrying Yavapai's lovers, a
death blow from watch IL may never
recover.
Since the Mountain City came into
Territorial prominence through the
numerous couples who wended their
way thither 20 become one. there has
been keen competition between those
qualified To perform marriage ceremon.
les. with honors evenly divided be-
tween Rev. whea,ley and Justice Ne.
Lane. although each claims 10 have
had an advantage over his competitor.
II was this difference Of opinion that
yesterday led 20 the formation Of the
combine which threatens to put
quicius on the aspirations Of those To-
coed lovers who believe that the privil.
eye of being allowed to pay some won.
ans board for the rest of asr natural
life il the quintessence Of earthly bliss.
After each had stated his claims to
the championship, IL was agreed that
hencefortn no especial effort should be
put forth by either, and that, more i'm
portant there should be no cutting u
prices for performing marriage eere-
monies, but just what the STANDARD
price Is to be was not stated, and until
the next couple with matrimonial in
tentions Join hands for life in Pres.
cott, the cost of becoming wife or
benedict will remain secret.
