Another Old Settler Called.

1t becomes our painful duty to re-
cord the death of L. f. Emmons, at
his home in New Oregon last Friday
night
The deceased had been.a resident of
the county from Its early settle
ment and had participated in its his
tory and progress, taking an active
and influential part in all that was
for its good. He had represented his
town on the county board of super
yisors and Ia other capacities. always
to its best interests. Though a strong
republican upon national questions
he was very independent il exercis-
ing the right of suffrage in local coun-
ty matters, giving his vote to the man
of merit regardless of party. AS a
man and neighbnr he was above re-
proach. He had been friend and
patron of the PLAIN DEALER from it's
first issue in 1859 to the time Of his
death in 1904, nearly as years. For
all these years he had been on terms
of friendship Bnd intimacy that brings
pain and sorrow that he has been
called to answer the last summons.
We hope to have the data for an obit-
uary of the deceased for our next is
sue. The funeral occurs at 10:3O this
morning at the residence.

A Report From the Grand Jury.

We, the Grand Jury in and for
Howard County, Iowa, during the
March, 1904, term of the District
Court have inspected the county Jail
and regret to report the same to be a
very poor construction and not At
place to contine human being.
The sanitary conditions are Of the
poorest. There is practically no ven-
tilation and outside Of the steel cells
the place is not safe to detain Grim
.insls, inasmuch as 1t is very easy
matter to escape through the win.
dows. walls and roof. We also tind
it has no protection for the officer IN
charge as he must on entering the
jail, mingle with and among the pris-
oners, and with no protection from
being overpowered by them, etc.
We also find that there is not suffl-
cient cell room to accommodate the
persons that might be detained there
in. There are but two cells In the
jail, and they are constructed side by
side, and the persons confined therein
cannot be Kept from close communi-
cation, and thus we think it much
harder to convict criminals than it
would be If they could be kept at a
greater distance apart, especially
where there are two or more impli-
Gated in the same crime. Therefore
we would recommend the construction
of a new county jail
to be made of stone, cement, steel and
other material tha9 would make a
strong, safe enclosure, with plenty OF
cell rooms, ventilation and modernlY
equipped, and a corridor for the con-
venience and protect Of the officers
in charge.

The Belief Of Marine Insurance Men

Washington, Jan. 2-The Associated
Press learns from an official source
that Japan, in the last note to the Rus
sian government announced that the
minimum proposition which she would
accept from Russia would be that her
rights in Korea should equal those
claimed by Russia in Manchuria.
In return, it is said, Japan agrees
to recognize the supremacy of Russia
in Manchur;a. To this proposition the
Russian government will not give its
approval, feeling that Japan should
content herself with notifications in
the form of concessions in Korea FOR
her commerce.
The Russian government has not
abandoned hope of diplomatic set
tlement of tne question, in view of the
powerful pressure which Great Britain
and France are bringing to bear OF
q Japan to consent to the continuance
of negotiations, but ii is emphaticaly
stated that Russia will never admit
the parallel between her position il
Manchuria and that of Japan in Korea

THE U. P. PRESIDENCY
Announcement Made Of the ResiGna-
ton OF Horace G. Burt.

Omaha. Jan. Announcement was
made today that Horace G. Burt had
resigned the presidency Of the Union
Pacific railroad. Mr.. Burt will take an
extensive trip abroad for rest. His re-
signation, it is learned, has been in the
hands of the directors for some time,
although the fact was not made public
until today.
IT is not believed that the board will
refuse to accept it as Mr.. Burt has been
very explicit in the expression of his
desire to retire from the company S
services. The matter of selecting a
new president of the Union Pacific has
created considerable interest and spec
ulation as to successor. Mr.. Burt
has included a wide range of names. AT
Union Pacific headquarters, however,
no opinion was officially expressed as
to who will in the future control the
affairs of the company. Mr.. Burt him
self viii remain nominally in charge
of Affairs, but he expects to begin at
once preparations for his departure.

THE SILENT THEATERS.

Chicago, Jan 2.-Tonight every
theater in the city of Chicago is DARK
and the doors locked. Not one will be
open to the public until the managers
comply in the fullest way with every
section of the ordinance regulating the
play houses.
The order compelling the theaters to
close was issued this afternoon by
Mayor Carter Harrison, after con-
ference with Corporation Counsel Toll
man. who assured the mayor that
ample legal ground existed for his ac-
ton.
Seventeen theaters and museums
were closed last night and the sweep
ing order of Mayor Harrison today
shut down the doors of fifteen more.
These last are the leading theaters in
the business section of the city, the
Studebaker, the Grand opera House,
McVickers, LaSaIle, Garricks, the
Bush Temple. Calumet, Cleveland,
Great Northern, Hopkins, Peoples
Institute, Trocadero. the Columbus, the
Illinois and the Powers. The last two
are owned and controlled by Powers
and Davis, managers of the ill-fated
Iroquois.
The Garrick theater closed today
was not the Garrick closed yesterday,
being one of the largest in the city,
while one concerning which action was
taken yesterday is a smaller house in
the northwestern portion of the city.
The places shut last night were closed
for the reason that they We're not pro-
vided with asbestos curtains. Further
action was taken today in conse-
qUencc of violations of other sections
of the ordinance regulating theaters.
The fact that the asbestos curtain
in the Iroquois theater was so badly
wrecked by fire that the charred por-
tions have been carried away by vari
Gus investigating committees caused
the committee to decide that asbestos
curtains could not be relied upon to
afford the most complete protection.
1t was announced that every theater
in the city must hereafter comply with
the following provisions before they
will be allowed to open:
steel roll curtains, wide exits, no
combustibles of any kind in the house
furnishings, fire proof scenery, no cal
cium or spot lights to be used on the
stage, skyliEhts above the stage to be
provided with automatic lids to permit
the egress of smoke fire and gas. sep

own stairs to the street"

were skating when Lockhart broke

Robinson, who was close behind him.
also went into the water but seized
hold of the ice and held himself for
some time above the surface.
The younger brother of Robinson
gave the alarm and the father of the
boy came to his sons rescue. The
father placed a board near the hole in
the ice and was attempting to reach
his son when the ice under the plank
gave way and he was thrown into the
water.
Both Robinson and the boy sank i'm
nediately afterward.
