SECOND HAND PROGRAMS
Theater Goers Have at Last Pro.
> tested to the Health Dent.

The attention Of the health department
has been directed to the dirty theatrical
programs which are frequently given to
ps: irons in Minneapolis theaters. Certain
we'll known patrons of the theaters feel
SO deeply OIL tins subject that they have
asked Health Commissioner p. M. Hall
TO do what he can to institute reform
They argue that if a person is entitled
to clean rcpkin at restaurant, he is
as justly entitled to a clean crisp bill of
the play when he attends theatrical
performance. "-.,-'
In the interests of economy it has long
teen the custer; In the theaters to collect
all of the Programs left in the seats or
On the floor after each performance and
make them do service for other perfor-
nlances and even for more than one en-
gage1nent. II usually happens that the
bills are dropped between the seats and
after many feet have tramped over them
their condition is little short of filthy In
addition to their filthiness it is pointed
out that the constant rehandling of pro-
grams which have been wiping the floor
is positively uEsanitary.

: General passenger agents Of the city

Chicago yesterday agree that the pass
agreement has been busted" Animals

frequently expressed that an agreement
affecting only part Of the country could
not last. Such a. thing as a line beyond
which passes should not be issued has
been proved impossible. ~. 49, =

At The LOWEST EBB.
Present Coal Situation Worse Than
Il Has Been at Any
Time.
Some Large Users Of Steam Coal
Confronted BY Exceedingly
Blue Prospects.

The coal offices have adopted a new
plan OF publicity. To do a kind turn to
those who post themselves at the office
long before opening time comes the prog
nostication for the next twelve hours,
mo hard coal to-day Is posted
in case none is to arrivce. It
saves lots Of waiting. Hard coal
is now dealt out from day to day as
it arrives. Except for some little contract
coal none is in stock. Twenty cars a day
for each of the large agencies would not
supply the demand, and three is a good
average Of actual receipts. There is no
estimating the suffering that would re-
suit from a cold snap.
Manufacturers are becoming little
anxious. A hard spell Of weather would
necessitate the shutting down of the
plants which were not forehanded last
summer In securing a supply of soft coal.
FACTORIES which use twenty five tons a
day and up are on the ragged edge to-
day. In fact, the supply OF fuel coal has
not been so low here before. ~ :
IT the coal offices were sure when relief
would come half the anxiety would be
avoided. It is the uncertainty that is
bringing in the. heads Of firms who rarely
see a coal office to inquire what's do

good work already well begun in this direc-
ton and as the teachers contribution to
the general effort to inspire and educate

foremost men in several very important
organiza lions and movements having for
their object the identifying and improve
ment of cities. He is a pra cticing archi-
tect of Philadelphia: who has already
proved. his professional ability by the ex-
;ecution of important commissions and his
devotion to civic improvement by his ad-
mlrable ideas and his earnest labors in

activity in his profession he has found

turers of the bureau Of the Americana
League for Civic Government.

Nick of Time, =

The driver Of an express company's wa
gon was being eagerly sought this morn
Ing. Messengers were sent in haste about
the city in an effort to intercept him. The
agent OF the company did not care par
t1cularly to get the driver, or his wagon,
but he was anxious to get a package of
securities in the wagon which was to be
delivered before noon by firm of brokers
to prevent the collapse of deal with one
of Its customers.
The =" leather caused the trouble Storms
mad delayed the morning trains and this
delayed the dispatch of the express wa
guns. ~
Repeated calls came in to the agent
OF the company for that package, and as
noon approached and the agent was ap-
prised OF the exact situation he became
intensely Interested and started a little
same of chase. It was evident that the
driver, unaware Of the Importance of the
early delivery of this particular package,
had put 1t on the end Of his route. The
agent sent out messengers until just be-
tore the fatA 1uoment the unconscious
fugitive was rounded up and the deal

Minnesota lumbermen 1.-TWO of whom are
now dead, for cutting timber unlawfully
on an Indian reservation in excess of the
which they were authorized to cut
under certain contracts made with the
Indian bureau. The evidence showed that
these people cut more than four times
as much as their contract called for, but
they escaped criminal prosecution because

feated the government three times in the

conditions described by the gentleman

Unfortunately, the gentleman from
Omaha is accurate in most of his as
sertions. It is true that the officials en-
ployed to detect and punish viola tions of
the timber and land laws are involved
in politics, and are subject to political in
fuences.s It is also true that the men,
bers of the United States senate and
house of represen tatives and the political
leaders of the several states are gener-
ally, although not always, in sympathy
with the offenders, and that public senti-
ment is such that it is almost impossible
to secure a jury that will convict any man
of position or popularity for Violating what
are sometimes considered unjust and OPP
pressive laws: Therefore. whenever a
conviction is reported it is considered a
fortunate subject of congratulations
