THE HOLIDAY SEASON
Is Thronging the Store of Balke's Big
 Curio.

Balke's big curio store, was the bus fest place in town yesterday as it al- ways is in the days proceeding the hol- idays, for there is nowhere else where opportunities for holiday shopping are so abundant. This thing of buying Christmas gifts is a nightmare to most people. They cannot think what would be the most acceptable at all But in store like the Curio, all this indecision vanishes and holiday shopping is made very simple. There are thousands of things scattered about on every hand and any one of them would be accept table. What one person might like another might not. In the Curio, the various articles of themselves suggest to intending purchasers the persons for whom they are intended.
 The big Curio store never before contained such a large and varied stock as at present. Mention has been made before of the great stock of Mex ican drawn work from the convent of Guadalajara, where the finest in the world is manufactured, and which in this part of the country can be found nowhere else than at the Big Curio. It is impossible to describe all the Curio places before it's customes. There are the Mexican cut coins which will soon cease to be for the coins from which the cutting is done are no longer part of the Mexican financial sys- tenn. There are those ever popular swastika crosses in breast pins, shirt waist sets cuff buttons, stick pins, etc. The stock of Mexican filigree work, the finest in the world is large and varied. There is an addition to the Navajo silver work, always an in teresting curiosity and highly appre- ciated by people living in the east. The Navajo blankets of the present stock of the Big Curio have already been described at some length. They are the handsomest ever brought to Phoe- nix for they are the kind of blankets which the Navajos have made from the earliest times from wool raised by the members of the tribe and not made of yarn manufactured in the east. The 1 texture too, is different from many of the blankets of commerce which have been made for sale and not for excel i lence.

A WEEK OF AMUSEMENT
Closing Last Night of the Samuels
 Company Engagement.

Last evening at the Doris opera house the George E. Samuels Stock company closed a weeks engagement in this city which in every way was a success. All the plays presented dur ing the engagement were of the char acter so popular with theater goers of today and MT. Samuels made their staging such as to make them rivals of more pretensious organizations. Each member of the company was en- gagged with their ability in some par ticular line in view and as a result when formed into one company their work is highly successful.
 The bill last evening was the same as presented at the matinee "A Wise Woman" The most clever of the fun makers, possibly owing to the fact that his lines were those of the comedian was MT. Harry J. Jack son, who took the character of Mir Davis, a henpecked husband given to the enjoyment of little side engage ments with chorus girls. His voice is splendid and he has many little stage mannerisms that tend to make fun. Jessie Brink in the character of Mrs. Davis the strong minded wife showed rare ability as did also J. w Clifford NilO lOOh IIIe negro CHdTdCleT dIlQ MISS Mildred Eddy who made a charming daughter of MT. and Mrs Davis
 On leaving Phoenix the company will go to Tucson, Bisbee. Tombstone and Douglas but will return to Phoe- nix in about six weeks appearing here on January p and 23. On their next visit to Phoenix they will present Hoyt's A Turkish Bath and Hello Bill. The last named niece was written bv Willis J. Goodhue who was also re- sponsible for MT. Plaster of Paris, The Girl from Chilli and several other great hits of the years gone by. On the bal ance of his tour in Arizona MT. Sam uels will present The Great Conspiracy, The Man from Mexico and A Wise Woman and for their staging he car- ries a car of special scenery. If his attractions do not please it will not be because money was spared in secur- ing a first class company or proper scenery. Here in Phoenix the troupe made many friends.

HARRISBURG
ROUNDS UP A BIG REPUBLICAN,
VICTORY, ELEcTlNG ENTIRE
TICKET.

CLARKSBuRG, w Va, April g.
In the most bitterly contested munich
pal election ever held in this city, the
Republicans succeeded in electing the
entire ticket with majoritics ranging
from three votes to 400 yesterday.
The Republican candidate for mayor,
Patrick Shields, was elected over
Frank II. Rhodes, the Democratic
candidate, by about so votes, while
John Howe, candidate for chief of po-
lice, defeated Feeny by about 400
votes. The real fight of the day was
in the Fifth ward. where, Camden
Summers was defeated for council by
James Hess by but three votes. The
campaign was very bitter. The press
and pulpit alike took sides in the
fight and yesterday the clergy made a
house to house canvass of the city in
the interest Of the Democratic candi.
date. While the voting booths were
open the clergy Of the city held d.
vine services and offered up prayers
for the election of the Democratic
ticket, which they claimed stood fol
good government. The Republican
organization, however, was too strong
for them, and the majority too great.

Drunk for Three veSss.

From January /. 1902. to January
/. 1905. Albert Miller did not draw a
sober breath. according to the state
ment made in a divorce complaint
filed by Mrs. Alice Miller in the
county court Saturday. On jan
uary 5th, Mrs. Miller states in her
complaint, she was compelled 10
leave her husband at Ration, n. NJ,
because Of his inhuman treatment
when intoxicated. which was his
natural state, she claimed. In April
IF this year her husband followed
her here and upon his promise to do
better she took him back to her
heart.
A few weeks later. however, Mil
Ter, so his wife claims, again took to
drink and also to abusing her, and
She left him again, moving TO 1l2
block l., where she kept boarders.
She charges that her husband fol-
lowed her again, and last Wednes-
day entered her home and beat her
as she was lying on the bed. She
also claims he drew a knife and
threatened her life.
This was the last straw and the
divorce complaint was filed last FRI
day. Judge Mirick, at the plaintiff 5
request, issued a restraining order
10 prevent Miller from interfering
with his wife until the final hearing

Checking Up WsycArs.

\ recent invoice of the stock in
the Santa Fe storehouse at this
point showed nearly 100000 worth
of railway material on hand. La
Junta is the distributing point for
the entire grand western division.
and all supplies from Newton To
albuquerque, including Denver. Pu-
eblo and Canon City, are secured
from this point.
All engines and waycars carry a
certain amount of supplies to be
used in cases of emergency. and this
will probably aggregate an addi-
tional $4,000 or $4,000 which is
charged to the local storehouse.
Each waycar is supposed to carry
about $50 worth of supplies.
Storekeeper Sculley has been lead
ing the strenuous life for several
days checking up the material on
the various waycars. On some he
found less than the $50 worth al
lowed, while on others he found as
much as $500 worth. Each waycar
and engine has been cut down to the
$50 worth allowed and the re-
mainder Of the material charged up
to the stock account of the local
,torehouSe.
