HER NUMEROUS TIMES

From Spouse, Who, She Says,
Was Very Cruel

Alleging that her husband frequently
beat her and cut her once when she
refused to drink with him, Mrs. Maud

vorce in Judge Bordwell's court.
Mrs. Blinn was the chief witness in
her own behalf. She testified that her
husband, H. M. Blinn, had beaten her
until she was unable to leave her bed
for a week. On several occasions this
treatment was administered, she said,
and ON one occasion, when she was
with her husband in the wholesale Ii
quor store of his brother. he asked her
to drink with him. She refused and a
fight resulted.
The divorce was granted.

1000 VOTES LOST
AND NO PROTEST
Saloon and Anti-SaIoon Forces Appear
to Be Satisfied With Date Set
fan lanfion


-Four thousand votes disfranchised
from voting on the saloon question by
the action of the city council in plac-
ing the date of the election June 2, and
not a single protest from either side
to Mayor McAleer, who has not yet
signed his name to the document plac-
ing the date fifteen days later, would
have given every one of these 1000 op-
portunity to vote.
When the ordinance calling the elec-
tion reached Mayor McAleer yesterday
he said he would not sign it until to-
day, in order to give opportunity for
protests by either side, if they so de-
sired.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon not
a murmur of complaint had been heard
from either saloon or anti-saloon
workers, and it begins to look as If the
councils action is to go unchallenged.

Chamber of Commerce

The Imperial Chamber of Commerce seems to have taken on new life with it's reorganization and election of new off cers. They are holding meetings about twice week and always have some
 thing timely and important on hand. The meeting of April 28 to discuss the proposition of building railroad from Imperial to Silsbee was quite an enthu
 si,stic gathering, and appointed G H. P. Shaw, F. c. Fair, H. N. Dyke, T. P. Banta and R. l.. Rumsey as a committee to push the matter along. At the meet ing of May 2 this committee reported the outline of the plan of incorporation. They recommended that the railroad be called the Imperial, Blue Lake and Western, to be capitalized at $250, ,000. The committee also reported progress on preparation of stock Inscription blanks, rights of way, etc. They also reported that advance subscriptions had been received for $18000 worth of the stock. A number of other matters were taken up. The inconvenience and expense put upon the Imperial Valley people by being compelled to go to Los Angeles to transact their business with the land office being one of them, and G. H. P. Shaw, Lieut.. J. H. Weber and T. P. Banta were appointed to take up the matter of endeavoring to have the land department send special agent to our Valley to take proofs on land entries. Also to prepare resolution setting forth the situation and asking Judge Olin Wellborn of the U. $. District court to appoint United States commissioner at Imperial, and that the chambers of commerce of Brawley, San Diego and Los Angeles be asked to pass similar resolutions. The matter of the delay in completing the resurvey of the lands in the Imperial Valley was taken up and a resolution adopted as.;ing the Secretary of the Interior to take prompt action in this matter and expedite as rapidly as possible, the work of correcting this sur vey and enabling our settlers to com plete title to their lands. Taken all around we feel the town is to be con graduated on it's chamber of commerce,

stood the company is prepared to stay
indefinitely. If not, it isn't an aggrega-
ton that has come to stay in PhoeniX.
The dramatized story of QUO Vadis
in the first place has something to
it; there is opportunity for the actor
to use his talent if he has any, and
the Buhler-M arsden company seems
thus far to be we'll equipped The
house was pretty well filled, there be-
ing only an occasional empty seat in
sight, and the applause of the audi
ence was very liberal at the conclusion
of every strong scene.
The company is numerically larger
than most stock companies, and in
stead of a single good leading man and
a star, it has on its roster the names
of several who are fitted to shine in
the theatrical armament.
The stage artist needs much to as
sure him success. He must, of course,
have talent and the genius for its de-
velopment, which includes a proper
conception of the work cut out for him
to do. But event then ne may fail if
cast for some role in which he is phys
ally incongruOus. The BUTLER Marsden
company is wonderfully fortunate in
possessing the material from a phys
icaI standpoint, for the proper presen-
have been selected almost with n spe-
cial view to the presentation of this
piece, although their repertoire con-
tains many others that are perhaps
almost as exacting. And with the
proper stage appearance the artist at
once finds himself in harmony with
his audience, which gives him better
opportunity for the development of his
talent.
Thomas Lowell as Petronius, and
Marsden as Ursus were particularly
impressive, while Henry Laurbach did
remarkably well as Nero, the weak but
vengeful and egotistical king. Miss
Fowler, Miss Lynn, Miss Stanley, and
Miss Orendorff We're all accomplished
in their parts, and for that matter
no unkind criticism could be made of
any part of the performance. More viii
no doubt be said later of the special
work of individual members of the
company. At this time it is only neces-
sary to say that the opening night
was entirely successful and is a good
omen. There was a general expression
of satisfaction among the crowd that
left the theater after the performance.
The company has decided to devote
the entire week to this bill, and at the
popular prices charged it is worth
while for anyone to see it. 1t viii be
interesting even if he has seen it be-
ought to see Quo Vadis some time.

If the BUTLER Marsden Stock COM

night and is looking for a home, it
can win one in Phoenix, if this city is
willing to support any stock COM

there is liberal patronage it is under
