Aldermen, Barred
From Burlesque Shows.
Threaten Reprisals

ing home and the other two dividing
their attentions between the bur
lesque shows.
The going contingent still
goes home. But the others-well, the
tragic fact must be told that the hos
pitality OF the burlesque shows is no
longer rendered with the same readi-
ness. One hard-headed manager has
set up rule that aldermen desiring
free seats must write him letters a
day previous. Now. no alderman
wants 10 do that. and SO that particu-
lar burlesque house is free of alder
manic presence.
The other burlesque house still
throws open its doors TO the city
dads but not in the same old way ex-
actly-and they can't all go TO one
show anyhow.
1T is very shortsighted OF the bur
lesque people TO do this" declared
one alderman who has been known
for his promptness in quitting the
legislative chamber TO cast a critical
eye over the pink tights display every
week. I'VE always got to the show
late and took box seats or anything
that was vacant so that the house did
not lose any money by our coming
There may be some kind of legis-
lation soon don't know just what
but the people that have done this
will find themselves up against IT,"
So IL behooves the burlesque houses
TO be very good or they will feel a
sensation like a few tons OF alder
manic beef landing with both feet.

ed for a block in both directions. AS
Mr.. Harrigan passed through the wait
ing assemblage he was greeted on al
sides by his supporters and cries OF
Three cheers for Harrigan," 'Hurrah
for our next sheriff. "Harrigan," "Har-
rigan," "Harrigan," rent the air. The
commissioner doffed his hat many times
in acknowledgment to the cheers of the
crowd.
1t was II o'clock when Commissioner
Harrigan entered the booth and cast
his ballot, No. Sc.
On leaving the polling place there
was another demonstration and the po-

the big touring car with John Berry,
Daniel Delaney and William Maher and
was whisked away. Just before the

ton 0rganist.

Announcement was made today of
the marriage of the Rev. John Keller,

HIS CRIME A HORRIBLE ONE
Step-Father Convicted in Clay COun-
ty of Outrage ON Child and Given
GaIIOWS Sentence.

Solicitor General Laing came home
from FIT. Gaines Thursday night,
where he had spent four days in at
tendance upon Clay superior court in
discharge cs his duties as prOsecut-
ing attorney.
A trial of sensational and sicken-
ing features was that of Louis Mill
irons, a white creature who was con-
victed of criminal assault upon Mat
tie Ingram, his step-daughter. 1t is
said that the helpless child was first
assaulted when ten years old, the
crime being since repeated by the
brutal step-father. Millirons, it is
said. showed no remorse, and told
sickening details of his fearful crime
upon the little ten-year-old girl
whose protector he should have been
instead of ass&ilant.
Millirons was sentenced 10 be
hanged on January 10th for his hor-
rible crime, but he will not be eX-
ecuted at that time, as his attorney,
Hon. Ben Turnipseed, has made a
motion for a new trial.
