TO MAKE A BARN OF 1T
Butte Ollcials and the Scheme to Re
model the City Hall.


Special Correspondence at the standard.
Butte, Dec. 3.-There is quite u kick
going on among the city officials whose
offices are in the city hall over the propo-
sition of Fire Marshal O'Brien to stable
horses i'm the municipal building. II Is the
plan of the fire marshal To have the horse
stabbed i'm the basement of the city hall so
that they may be attached To the hose and
hook and ladder carts as soon as the
alarm sounds. The other city officials are
strenuously objccting tn sharing their
quarters with horses. The point where il
is proposed tn place the stable is dirrctly
under the offices of the city attorney and
city clerk, and nearly under the police
court room. One IF the officials of the
city said to-day i'm regard to the plan:
~ think the city hall has sunk low
enough already without turning il into n
municipal building into n fire house. police
station and Jail /; but now to make II a
harm also is n little more than human
afford tn build 10 new city hall or erect a
separate fire house. let matters remain AS
at present. II the horses are stabbed i'm
our municipal palace, why, the rest Of US
will have to move ont into the street.
! that's certain We don't care tn room
c w;r ,%r;soners have mo- right To- he taken
into consideration at all. but still il IL well
enough to remember that the stablcs will
he directly over the city jail. Now | don't
think the fire department il of such pre-.
eminent importan nee that its interests are.
to- he considered above every other city
interest"
Action will probably he taken i'm regard
to this matter at this weeks meeting of
the city council. and il is the proposition Of
the fire department to stable the horses
i'm the city hall as soon as the approval al
the council is obtained. The plan is To
completely remotle the basement Of the
| city hall. The front is To he torn down
and u large archway constructed i'm place
of the present double doors. Ii is also
proposed to take out the warslrobes along
the sides of the fire hall. in order Il
widen the hall and make il large enough
to accommodates three hose carts, q
hook and ladder truck and 4
steamer. 1t il expected that the city vii
have "a steamer to lace in the fire hall he
fore the year 1899 Is over. The stables ar,
to he constructed at the rear of the hall
1t is also proposed to- put n double floor al
the fire hall. tn keep the horses and ap
paratus from breaking through on TIN
heads of the prisoners and also to- keeI
the prisoners from cutting their way int
the fire hall. Al the rear of the city hal
il il proposed to erect IL fire tower for tn
purpose of drying hose more rapidly thai
can be done at present.

to the Conique last night. He took along
a box of rat poison and after he had sue
ceetied i'm getting himself about two-thirds
full, he began eating the poison and try
ing to feed it to his lady friends. They
didn't want to- eat rat poison. so Sullivan
took matters in his own hands and seizing
one or two of the girl walters he tried to
force the poison down them. The terri
fled screams of the girls brought every
body to the scene. but sullivan stood at
bay aud declared he would

man or woman who approached him:
When Officer McLaggan arrived he found
Sullivan i'm a very belligerent mood. his

stuff smeared about his mouth and spilled
down his coat front. by the time he
reached the police station, Sullivan gave
of being crazy. His eyes were

enough of the poison to cause his death.

ADJUSTMENTS,

"The Woman Halter" was again pre-
sented by that favorite comedian,
Roland Reed, at the Grand opera house
last night, to fairly large audience.
The familiar comedy is played this
time by substantially new company.
and quite a good one, supporting Mr..
Reed in his peculiarly felicitOus inter-
probation of Samuel Bundy. He and
his racy methods are too well known
here and well liked to need any special
setting forth. He differs SO widely
from most of the comedians of the pres
ent day in sticking closely to comedy
proper without degenerating into horse
play or buffoonery and making use of
only his legitimate gifts, and his as
SumptionS are always entitled to rank
as genuine comedy Characterization.
Miss Annie Lewis, charming little
actress for juvenile parts, made quite a
hit as Alice Lane. There seems to have
been added to the play in the way of
humorous dialogue since last here, and
polate local hits more OF less amusing is
freely taken advantage of. Well. it
makes people laugh immensely, and
that is what they pay for.
The audience that greeted Edwin Bar
bour at the Hennepin Avenue theater
last evening was quite large one, and
the applause was enthusiastic to de-
gree that manifested more than Ordi-
nary interest. Besides Nh. Barbour
the cast included Miss Emma Forsythe
Miss Alice Kemp Lille Farine, j. w.
Harkins and Miss Minnie Barbour, all
of whom live in Minneapolis, and they
were, OF course, in the hands of their
friends when they faced Minneapolis
audience. The piece, GA Legal Docu-
ment," was written by Mr.. Bar
bOur, and is comedy of a
piquant vein of humor, in which
Mr.. Barbour is given an opportunity as
crusty old lawyer to do some fine
character acting, which he improves
very we'll. Mr.. Harkins and Miss
Forsythe have improved greatly by
their dramatic experience of the past
few months. Miss Kemp and Little
Florine pleased the audience, both in
their acting and singing, as of yore at
the Peoples theater. The piece runs
for the week.
The presentation of "Esmeralda" at
the Peoples theater last night was one

A resolution by Commissioner Walsh

MINNEAPOLIS
THE COMMISSIONS LATEST.

The action of the police commission,
through Superintendent of Police
Bracket, in enforcing to the very let
ter an ordinance which compels the
closing of saloons literally has created
no little dissatisfaction, it would seem,
not entirely from comments of
SaloonkeeperS themselves, but from
very large contingent of the
business men. None of the saloon men
have been tried as yet under the new
ordinance, which gives the municipal
court Jurisdiction over their cases, but
ii is said that an examination will show
that the arrests were made under an
Interpretation of the law that stretches
its requirements TO limit OF absurdity.
Porters were merely cleaning the prem
ises up, were arrested. One proprietor
who had only gone into his place of
business to turn out the gas was
Snatched from his door-StepS. Another,
who had couple of carpenters doing
some work in his place, opened the
door to let them go to dinner,
and he went to the lookup for
so doing. The superintendent of police
read that the Jaw to close saloons meant
not only that they must be closed to the
public, but TO the proprietors and at
tacneS as well. AS the ordinance gives
the court the discretion upon the first
violation of revOking license, which
costs $1,000, and makes the revocation
imperative upon the second offense,
it is not to be wondered that
the saloon-keepers feel that they are
being prosecuted, when such trifling
excuses and preteXts are used to oc-
casion arrests for an otfense to which so
severe a penaltV is attached
1t is needless to say that public
opinion does not sustain such fanat-
zeal attack even upon the business of a
saloon keeper, but it is yeal
and a half before election and
1t is not cheerful information that tins
persecution is to be Kept up. 1t is al
together likely that Minneapolis will
get dose of Republicanism that will
last for some years, and that when the
opportunity to throw off the yoke pre-.
sents itself that the recent example OF
Chicago will be followed with a great
deal Of Measure

What Was Done at the Minister'S
Meetings Yesterday.

Rev. M. B. Smith, of Richfield, adj
dressed the Methodist ministers yester-
day morning on "Fictitious Literature"
In this paper the reverend gentlemen
held that the novels of the present day
were giving young people a false Idea
of life, inasmuch as they painted the
world in wrong colors. An animated
discussion followed. The question of
admitting reporters to the meetings
came up, and ON motion OF Rev. Thomas
McClary it was decided that they
should be admitted.
Rev. G. G. Christensen addressed the
Presbyterian ministers Oh "Our Rela-
ton to the Public Schools" After a
short session the meeting adjourned in
order that the members might attend
the funer al of DIR. Rice. in Saint Paul.
