All Interests. Il

ST. PAUL. June 8.-New York and
wisconsin will cooperate with Mime
sofa in working out the problem Of an
employers liability law. :ss%5
One Of the laws that went into effect
in Minnesota Tuesday requires en-
ployers to report full details each
month Of all accidents occurring
among their employees, with full state
ments as to wages received, Insurance,
dependent families, and the extent Of
negligence by the. employees. The other
law requires casualty insurance COM
panies to make similar reports to the
Insurance commissioner Of all cases
coming to their attention. = ~
Large employers OF labor have been
conferring with Labor Commissioner
McEwen about the form Of these re-
ports. Agreement has practically been
reached. Employers have been reluct-
ant to make reports that will show
facts as to negligence or other points
about an accident that might be used
as evidence against them in court. To
protect them a form has been devised
whereby names will not go into the
blanks, and employees in the; labor, bu-
reau will not know the location of an
accident reported OF. the names. They
will be supplied by a key in possession
OF the three commissioners, who will
use it in a confidential way, for stat !
1stical purposes only. 3yy, III: u. >.s,S j 4 4

MARQUIS Nay.

G. Claude Marquis OF this city and
Miss Zillah Nay of Odessa we're quiet.
ly married in Kansas City Wednesday
afternoon, April IA by the Rev. B.
E. Dawson, The wedding was a com.
plete surprise 10 most Of Mr.. MARQUIS
friends in this city who mad suspected
that he contemplated taking such a
tip in the near future. but had no
idea OF the manner in which he would
90 about it. Some Of his most init.
mate friends became suspicious in
the early part of the week and Mr..
Marquis became alarmed. Conse-
quently all Tuesday afternoon he Sc
creted himself in the suburbs and in
the evening surreptitiously took the
river rou;e train at Myrick.
Mr.. Marquis is one of the most
popular and prominent young men in
Lexington. He is now serving his
second term as county assessor, which
attests the esteem in which he is
held throughout the county. He is
a leading member OF various frater.
nal organizations of this city and
during the past year was the exalted
ruler Of the local lodge Of Elks.
He is the son of the late G. W. Mar
quis, who before him was county as
SCISSOR, and a member of one of the
cOunty's oest families.
His bride is the daughter of S. i.
May, prominent citizen CT
Odessa, and one of the most charming
and estimable young ladies of this
locality. In her Mr. Marquis has un-
doubredly found one who will be an
ideal helpmeet and companion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marquis will receive
a most hospitable welcome on their
return TO Lexington and the INTELLI.
GENcER joins the host of friends in
extending congratulations and best
wishes.

The Holy City,"

On its second visit to Lexington and
with its reputation for superior quail
ity as an attraction already made,
1.-THE Holy City," a powerful and
stirring Biblical drama by Clarence
Bennett, was presented by company
headed by Luella Morey, at Geyer's
Grand Opera House Wednesday
evening The attendance was not
up to expectations, considering the
productions reputation for merit,
the house being only partially filed.
The audience was seemingly unap-
preciative and wanting in enthusi-
asm.
This play possesses wonderful pos
sibilities for company of competent
actors. 1t is tense in dramatic in
terest picturesque in setting, and
contains numerous scenes where
great dramatic power is brought
into play. Judging by the presenta-
tion of two years ago, the perfor-
nance did not quite maintain its
standard. Miss Morey was the whole
show herself aud her supporting COM
pany, generally speaking, was far
behind her in the histrionic art, all
of which tended greatly to unbalance
the cast. The members Of the cast,
with few exceptions, seemed to be in
a great hurry to finish the perfor-
nance as their enunclation was very
imperfect and their action on the
stage was rapid and nervous. Of
course everybody liked the way in
which Miss Morey played her role.
The fascinating Luella is really an
artist and she easily gained favor
for the second time before Lexlng
ton audience Miss Morey has
starred in this production so long
and has played the part Of salome so
much that she has mastered every
detail of the part thoroughly and IS
capable Of giving most finished in
terpretation Her beauty and grace
Of igure and her soft and velvety
voice are valuable assets with which
70 become favorite with any audi-
ence. Rowland Edwards who hand
led the leading male role was good
only at TIMES Alfred Rowland as
Caiaphas gave an Intelligent
reading Of that part. Walter sher-
win attempted a rather bizarre
com bination whtn he appeared
in the early part of the play as John
the Baptist and later played Judas
Iscariot. It certainly tested his YER
satiIity J. W. Rigney as PLATE was
lamertably weak.

Capt. Belt 5 Proposition.

met Thursday AFTERNOON in the up
per room of the cour, nonee with
more than hundred Of Lexington :
business men. Several citizens Of
Odessa and the engineer Of the trust
company which is backing Capt.
Belt we're also present.
Capt. Belt stated his proposition
again. he made it plain that the
$4,000 which he asked was not a
bonus, but would be payment on
stock. Those present seemed well
pleased with the proposition.
The meeting adjourned and another
was called for Monday night at 7:30,
The citizens will then consider the
matter fully and if the proposition is
accepted committees will be appoint
ed to solicit right away.

wishes.

Wednesday morning at $3.50, Tim.
othy Howard, Jr., and Miss Pauline
Mallot we're married at the Catholic
church by Father George Curry. The
wedding was an transformations at
fair; but wa5 Impressive in its sim
phcity, After the Ceremony the
wedding breakfast was served to
thirty couples at the residence of
Thomas Holleron on Franklin street
and Highland avenue. The illness of
the brides brother, Matt Mallot, pre-
vented its being served at the fam
lily home.
Both the contracting parties are
thoroughly estimable young people
and are very popular among their ac-
quaintances. The bride is the daugh-
ter of Peter Mallot and possesses at.
tractiveness and domestic accom-
plishment to high degree. The
groom is an Industrious young man
and bears an excellent reputation for
integrity and ste2diness.
After the breakfast Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard left fora trip Of ten days to
several points in Kansas. Upon
their return 10 Lexington they will
