BIG STORE CLOSED.
Marshall Fields Shut Up by the Build

Chicago, July 9.-The retail dry goods
store of Marshall Field & Co, was
closed to the public today by Building
Commissioner Bartzen because the
management of the store had not com
piled with certain regulations to which
it's attention had been called by the
commissioner.
For several days the management and
the commissioner have been in CORE
spondence regarding the placing of red
lights in the store for the purpose IF
marking exits and stairways- This
morning when the commissioner became
aware that the work had not been done
over Sunday he caused police officers to

CAMPAIGN PROMISE.
Hope for Reciprocity Law Held Ont
to Tariff Reformers.

Chicago. July "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Tariff reciprocity as the beginning
of tariff revision may be made the
chief issue of the short session of the
Fifty-ninth congress.
It IS more than likely that after the
election IN Novembef, steps will be
taken IN the direction of the passage
of general reciprocity law. What
ever reciprocity there is must be by
new law, because the reciprocity feat
ure of the DingIey act expired two
years after its passage and none of
the treaties negotiated under its pro-
visions succeeded in securing ratif1ca-
ton by the senate.
The reciprocity of the future must
be statutory. that is to say, the presi-
dent must be authorized In some way
either by the operation of a miximum
and minimum tariff or by a horizontal
reduction to promote trade relations
with other countries.
This would not mean revision of the
tariff if reciprocity could be accom-
plished on a percentage basis. that is
to say, by the application of a more
general principle of the present law
without disturbing the rates them
selves. thus provoking a general tariff
discussion. It practically is certain
that a Joint committee of the two
houses of congress will be appointed
to draft something in the way of a
reciprocity law. which will meet the
demand.

Lutte by the Unbria caused a rush of
Spectators to the water front.

LET THE CITY Do IT.
City Physician Hogeboom Would Solve
Garbage Question Once for AL

A private corporation capitalized by
business men for $4,000 wishes to han
die the garbage for the city and Is pre-
pared to ask for franchise, says H
B. Hogeboom. city physician.
He says that he is not yet prepared
to divulge the names of the parties who
viii back the new company.
They are prepared to handle TINS
garbage business in the right way and
stand ready to put in $4,000 in the
venture said Hogeboom.
The city physician called on the may
or this morning and laid before him his
plan for the conduction of q crematory
under municipal management
IF we get the facts and statistics to
show you that it can be made a paying

What viii it cost?" asked the
mayor.
down there now for $4,000, replied the
s;But where are we going to get the
wen. I presume that's for you to
4 am afraid that We can't get the
money to put into it. It might pay
but we haven't got any $4,000 said the
mayor.
The city physician proceeded to show
what the present company has been
making in the way Of clear profits. For
+ the six months of this year the present
crematory company has been making
a clear profit OF 1892 on the disposal Of
night SOIL not counting the other
sources of revenue. The cremation of
dead horses alone pays the salary of a
man to stay at the plant and the run
/ ming expenses of the furnaces, said
Hogeboom. '.I know that the city could
make good money out of 1t. If there
wasn't money in it there wouldn't be
all this great stir up TO get hold OF
the contract
The mayor informed the city physi-
/ clan that the council would not be able
/ to take up the garbage question this
evening.
8 NJ Evans. c. C. Bowman. and W
L. Osborne of the Topeka Desiecating
company are to be arrested today upon
warrants sworn to by DR.. H. B. Hoge-
boom, city physician. The charge lodg-
ed against them is for failure to pay
their license. This is the technical
charge though the real charge is be-
cause of the filthy manner in which it
is claimed that the desiccating plant
has been run
The board of health also took q hand

met Saturday afternoon and recon-
mended to the council that the contract
existing between the city and the COM
pany for their disposal Of garbage be
