KILLS SHOW BUSINESS.
Chicago Theatre Ordinance Will
Keep Houses Closed.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Chicago theater
managers take an extremely pessimistic
view of the situation created by the ac-
ton of the city council which has final
" adopted stringent theater law. The
announcement was made today at near
ly ever playhouse that under the new
ordinance, there is no hope of continuing
in business. The retroactive provisions
of the measure, put the older theaters
beyond the hope of again opening doors.
In the more modern theaters the i'm
provements and alterations required will
make it impossible, the managers say,
to operate with a profit
Without the galleries. it is claimed, no
theaters in Chicago can do more than
pay expenses. The books of several
managers, it is claimed, show that with
the revenue from the top floor elimi-
mated the receipts would fall below the
expenses. The change of rise" in the
gallery seats, it is said, would mean a
virtual reconstruction of every thsater
in the city.

This firm has published this book

THE WORLDS FAIR
What The journal Will Do for It's
Readers. J..

The Journal has arranged to supply
its readers with the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition in form for perma-
nent preservation at their homes
practically free. The low cost of 10
cents per number is designed to cover
the cost of handling, mailing and
delivering. This reproduction will be
in the form Of Portfolio or Parts, each
with sixteen II by II pages. It will
be comprised in thirty numbers, or
bound parts, issued weekly.
AS permanent, pictorial and de-
scriptive representation Of the varied
and comprehensive Exposition in the
worlds history, it will be invaluable
to all who visit the Fair-a pictorial
and descriptive record Of what they
saw. It will be an equally invaluable
lesson of perpetual interest to those
who do not visit the Fair. These pho
tographic views, issued by exclusive
arrangement with the Worlds Fair
officials, will constitute, when COM
pleted, a permanent pictorial presen-
tation of the Fair in it's architectural,
industrial and art exhibits, with spe-
cial presentation Of its more wonderful
assem- blages of humankind in types,
costumes and upations-represent
ing with marvellous comprehensiveness
the life and activities of the various

tome of the world to-day. The World 8
Fair will thus be transferred in en-
during form to the printed page not
only in it's superb architecture and
scenic effects, it's personnel, but in
all Of its industrial and magnificent
art exhibits. No exposition ever held
has lent itself SO remarkably to high
class, artistic photography. In the
production of the portfolios these OPP
portunities for high-class art publica-
ton will be fully improved.
The extent Of the Exposition in area
exceeds all others. 1t embraces 1,240
acres. Chicago had $50 acres, Paris
1856. AS compared with the Chicago
Exposition, the state and territorial
participation exceeds that of 1898 by
Is per cent. This applies not only
to the amount of expenditures, but
to the number of states and common
wealths participating. The EXPOSE
ton abounds in opportunities for the
camera and the series will not only be
| representative of the wonderful de-
tails of the Fair, but in every way
| artistically beautiful.

opinion favorable to this broad thoro-

Tho small, yet suited exactly to the

street, as it will break away in style
of architecture from the conventional
classic. It will be Of coarse cement

Nothing has been heard from the
executive committee of the Interna-

to the strike of the twenty-five men
employed in the Jones & Hartley
yards in Minneapolis. The facts in
the case were forwarded several
days ago and the local
labor leaders asked for an i'm
mediate response. AS the members
of the committee are scattered, it is
not thought probable that instruc-

arrive before Monday.

Bisbee daily review., 1904-09-24

With the Republican couaJy conven- tion little less than a week distant, the Review finds little interest in the tick ct.
 The rumor that was started that if J. N Gaines, the probable candidate for treasurer on the Democratic ticket, received the nomination the RepubH- cans would refuse to nominate can oidate against him, is without founda- tiOn. The Review learns on good Re publican authority that MT. Folsom, the manager of the branch store of the Copper Queen company at Naco, will be placed on the ticket for this posi- tion.
 A Republican, in speaking of the prospects of the Republican County convention which meets at Tombstone on October 1, yesterday had the fol lowing to say:
 After looking over the list of dele gates elected at the primaries held throughout the county on Saturday last, 1 am more convinced than ever that McCabe will receive the nomina- tion for Sheriff Doyle is apparently not eager to make the race since Stew art Hunt will be his opponent, and there is some talk of F. R. O'BTiep, of Benson, as a possible dark horse, but a close count of noses will give the nomination for Sheriff to Joe McCabe. Doyle is evidently figuring again on the nomination for Constable in this precinct.
 "Rhinehart, of the Copper Queen Store, is a probable candidate for the office of Recorder. It was thought two weeks ago that w. E. Bayless, of Douglas, would be the Republican can didate for this office, but MT. Bayless has since refused, and is a candidate for the office of Justice of the Peace in the Shelter City.
 For the Assembly, the three most likely candidates are D. w Semple, Chas. Bowman and R. V. Daniels. of Naco. with Chas. Overlook assured of the nomination of the Council in oppo- sition to Steve Boomer. For District Attorney, no other can didate is mentioned on the Republican side except Tom Flannigan.
 HI. s. Morrow, of Bisbee, is slated for the office of County School Superin- tenGent, and the probable candidates for the office of Supervisor are John Montgomery, A. H. Emanuel and E. A Won Arnim."
 This is the outlook at present, and no doubt a majority of the Republicans mentioned above will be nominated.
