Theaters Closed.

Theaters Closed.
Seventeen Chicago theaters were
closed peremptorily 'ly Mayor Har-
rison Friday night because they were
not equipped with asbestos drop cur
tains. This action following on the
heels of the Iroquois disaster, shuts one
half of the playhouses in Chicago with
total seating capacity of more than
10000 persons. Violations of the build
ing ordinances received thus the only
drastic punishment ever known to come
from the city hall. The mayor was
sition not to take additional RESPONSE
bility for further calamities. Until they
have provided asbestos or iron curtains
for the protection of their patrons these
theaters will remain closed: Academy
of Music, Alhambra, Avenue, Bijou. Chi
cago Opera House, Clark Street muse
UNI, Columbus, Criterion, Feigenbaum's
Milwaukee Avenue Garrick, Click
mans, Howard, Sam T. Jacks, London
Musee, Marlowe, New American and
Olympic.
Other Arrests
Eight stagemen and electricians of the
Inflated theater have been held in bonds
OF $4,000 each on charges of manslaugh-
ter due to criminal negligence, and 10
others, actors and chorus girls of the
Mr.. Bluebeard, Jr." company are held
as witnesses for the coroners inquest.
Outward Evidence of Grief.
Church bells tolling at noon. busi
ness activity checked, many celebra-
lions postponed and long lines of
funerals making their way to the out
lying districts where the cemeteries
are situated-these circumstances evil
denced Chicago's outward grief for the
victims of the Iroquois theater disaster
Saturday. Mayor Harrison Friday
made the following statement, amount
ing practically to proclamation in
regard to the church bells:
"Tolling the church bells through
out the city on Chicago's day of
mourning for the dead who persisted
in the fire at the Iroquois theater
would be an appropriate expression
of grief. The suggestion was made to
me by a clergyman and I wish it to
be published, so that pastors may car
ry it out. I strongly urge them to be-
gin the tOlling of the bells at noon
Saturday and to let the mournful
sound continue for an hour Such an
expression of sorrow would bring to
the hearts and minds of every one
the memory of Chicago's terrible loss.'

SIS PER YEAR
Dunn's Cinch.

Robert G.. Dunn will be the
next governor of Minnesota if he
lives until January l, 1905. OF
this no one who knows anything
of past and present conditions in
Minnesota can for one moment
doubt. Minnesota is reliably
republican state; Dunn is enor-
mously popular with all parties;
no state official ever had better
record; this is presidential year;
and last but not least, the popu-
list strongholds of the past are
today almost solidly republican.
This last named fact is most
significant. Take the banner
populist county of Polk. Six
years ago it give the populist
candidates majorities of 1000 and
upward, and in many townships
not a single republican vote was
cast. -Four years ago it gave the
populist nominees about 700 the
best of it. Two years ago it was
nip and tuck. This year with
the day for filings almost upon
us not one populist can be found
in the entire county with the tenn
Gritty to file as a candidate for
office.
What wonder we predict the
largest majority ever given a
candidate for governor in Mime
sofa for Mr.. Dunn next Novem-
Der? -...

MINNESOTA'S democracy has
but one hope--the nomination OF
John Lind. Failing for the con-
sent of Mr.. Lind they will prob
ably nominate Mr.. Johnson next
week, glad to head their ticket
with a good man even though
hopeless of victory. To the re-
publicans the democratic choice
is a matter of Indifference. The
republicans will this year make
a vigorous campais n and they be-
lieve that they will roll up the
biggest republican majority in
the history of the state. Should
John Lind be nominated it might
be harder to do this-that is all.
Neither John Lind or any other
man stands within tens Of thou
sands of votes of winning against

Not only is Judge Spooner
without opposition for renomina-

trict, but it is extremely prob
able that he will be indorsed for
reelection by all parties. At the
democratic county convention for
Itasca county held at Grand Rap

resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Be it resolved. that. as representing the
democratic sentiment Of this, Itasca county.
we, the democrats of Itasca county in con-
yention assembled, do unhesitatingly endorse
Hon. Marshall A. SpOOner for nOmin alton for
the district bench. While the political prn-
cipals of this distinguished gentleman-are not
akin to our own, nevertheless, his work as a
public servant commands approval from men
of all political beliefs.
Everywhere throughout the district the
ability. professional learning and the impair
tiality Of Judge Spooner are held in high es-
TEEN. In the presence of these qualifications
for office our endorsement is freely extended
and particularly because of the fact that
such action on the part of this convention
bears testimony to the high rega I'd in which
the democratic party holds public welfare

Drainage.

To the people Of northern Min
nesota the most important ques-
ton to be discussed and decided
by the legislature next winter is
that of drainage. For the past
four years the state has contrib
uted $4,000 per year for the
drainage of state lands, and the
state lands so drained have been
increased in value 50 that the
state has reaped a profit of
several hundred thousand dollars.
Ten times $25, 1000 per year would
be none too large a sum for the
state to appropriate for the re-
elimination of the swamp lands of
northern Minnesota; money so
invested would yield the state
large returns and open to Guilt
vation thousands of acres of pri-
vate lands. No man should be
allowed to go to the legislature
this winter from the northern
part of the state who is not
pledged to make drainage his
foremost aim. Moreover it is
necessary that the newspapers
Of northern Minnesota should at
once begin campaign for liberal
appropriations and liberal laws
for drainage which shall resound
throughout the state without
stopping until the legislature of
1905 adjourns.
