Chief Usher Charged With Man

Chicago, Jan. 4.--Commissioner Will
Iiams tonight issued an order closing
all public halls, dance halls and turn
yeran halls and all similar places of
public assemblage, until an inspection

theater closing order Protests We're
numerous but the building commission
er was infiexible.
The sole exemption Is in favor Of
private lodge halls, which do not fall
in the scope of the order. This after
noon attorneys for the fire department
secured from five witnesses corrob-
GRAFTON of the charges that the wreck
ing crew Of the George A. Fuller Con-
struction Company employees had des-
troyed the stage skylights the day af-
ter the disaster. Fire Inspector Fulker-
son said today:
1T was the intention that these sky
lights should open automatically to al
low the escape of heat and smoke and
create draft which would draw them
upward instead of allowing them to
pass out over the audience. But from
information | have am positive that
opening the skylights was impossible
because beneath each section OF lights
had been placed pieces Of scantling
which remained there until removed by
the employees of the Fuller Construc-
ton Company on Thursday afternoon.
The police today arrested George M.
Dusenberry, the chief usher Of the
theater on the charge of manslaughter.

Dandruff is the cause Of nine-tenths OF

A visit from Sousa is one of the

A FINE SHEEP RANCH
w. e. Russ Making a Splendid Sue
cess of the Industry South.
west of Town.

We made a trip to the farm of w.
c. Russ yesterday and that progress
sive farmer entertained us happily
by showing us over his immense
farm. Mr.. Russ devotes his atten-
ton nearly exclusively to sheep rails
ing and at this time he has about
1900 that are roaming the fields.
The breed he handles is the Merino
variety and he has some splendid
specimens in the flock.
He has a fine equipment for taking
care of the sheep, having constructed
between 5000 and 5000 square feet
of shed room for the animals during
the winter time and nights. One Of
the large sheds is partially double
decked and he uses this for shearing
his sheep and packing the wool in
sacks.
About a garter of a mile from his
house MIR. Russ has a walnut grove
and they have made a remarkable
growth. He planted the seed accord
ing to government Instructions on 10
acres of ground in the fall Of 1888,
and the following year it commenced
to develop. until he has a fine
grove that is thick with trees. He
allows his sheep to 1un in the grove
and as result it is cleared of all
underbrush and the trees themselves
are kept neatly trimmed. In the
years to come, when the grove has
fully developed, it will be a valuable
piece of property. |hls year there
are but few nuts on the trees, but
two Years ago he gathered a large
quantity from them.
He has a very large orchard of
plumb trees that have yielded an
immense amount of fruit. The sheep
have the freedom of the orchard and
this is also as clean as the walnut
grove.
Scattered over the farm are a great
many hay stacks that are the win
tiers feeding reserve, which he and
his son, John, and one helper put up
this sumner. The hay crop is some
thing remarkable this year and he
will have an abundance for feeding
purposes.
On tine farm is one of the finest
gardens that we have seen in years,
but MI. Russ says he Crews the stuff
more particularly iOl the sheep than
he does for his own use and within a
week or two he will turn his lambs
in to devour the onions, the beets.
1adiShes, ETC., which have grown to
mammoth size. This garden spot is
wonderfully fert ilized by the sheep
feeding there in the fall.
MIR. Russ has resided ON his farm
and followed the sheep industry for
the past sixteen years and has made
a great success of the undertaking.
He expects to retire from the bust
ness within a short time, having
placed bis farm on the market.
