He Counted His Bride
 Before She Consented

When Julia Naples of 104 Commer- cial street was congratulated on her approaching marriage to Joseph Ca pello, yesterday, she hurried to the office of the town clerk to see what it was all about. She was told that Ca pe1lo had taken. out the license, giv- ing her age as 21, while she is but 20 in reality. She later learned that Ca pelIo had made arrangements for the wedding, apparently regarding her consent as one of the minor details. Miss Naples says there will be no we'd ding as she does not intend to become the bride of Capello. That is the story of Capello's blighted romance that the girls relatives are relating.

 Bitro-Phosphate is an organic phos- phate compound referred to in the Ma uonal Standard Dispensatory as being an excellent tonic and nervine and a prepa- ration which has recently acquired con siderable reputation in the treatment of neurasthenia. The standard of axce1 fence, strength and purity of it's substance Is heyo2d question, for every Bitro-P Phos- phate tablet is manufactured in strict ac- cordance with the U. s. Pharmacopoeta test requirements. Bitro-Phosphate is therefore not patent medicine and should not be confused with any of the secret nostrums, so-calIed tonics wide ly advertised "cure-alls.''

Alder man Curtis was in favor of right or not at all" He said the addition Of the mill would make a 31 mill rate Councilman Gorbach opposed the proposition He said it would un- doubtedly fall flat and was in favor of the matter going to the polls.
 =. Chairman Cham berlain regretted the fact that the matter had to go to a city meeting as such bodies are by no means units for deliberation- The original organization of the board of finance and taxation did not call for such action.

LEGISLATURE WILL
RAT|FY SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT, JOHNS

Beyond doubt the coming special
session of the legislature will vote
unanimously for the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. said A. A. Johns, presi-
dent of the senate, yesterday. The
senate president is stopping at the
Hotel Adams for a few days while at
tending to business interests here
Arizona always has been suffrage
state" said Mr.. Johns, and | do not
anticipate one dissenting vote when
the legislature is called upon at the
special session to pass on the amend
ment.''
Mr.. Johns took occasion while dis
cussing capitol affairs, to express his
satisfaction over the signing of an
order approving House Bill No. so here
yesterday, by Judge S. l.. Pattee of
Pima county. He championed the bill
at the time it came before the legisla-
ture as an emergency measure al the
last session, and he expresses the be-
lief now that it will prove itself up to
all the promises that have been made
for it.
Concerning the length of the coming
special session, to he called about
February 1, the senate president says
he does not see how the session can
last for more than a few days at most
unless the governor should spring q
surprise by mentioning business for
the session other than the considera
ton of the Susan y. Anthony amend
ment which at present is expected to
be the only issue to come up. 1t is
his belief that the session will require
more than one day for allthe business
incidental to organization and adjourn
ment, but he does not anticipate
Drocrastination, which is expensive to
the state.
