IS HOUSE To Be DARK
Joseph RUERUP DOESN'T CATCH
THE MAYORS MEANING.
Meanwhile There Are Several Points
That Perplex Him, So He Writes
to the Attorney General; Wants to
Know Why Theatres in St. Paul
and Minneapolis Are Permitted to
Run and His Closed.

Joseph Ruerup, proprietor of the
Wonderland Theatre, was as calm as a
June morning when he read the state
ment made by Mayor Meyer which in
effect means that if the Wonderland
should be opened for business on Sun
day evening its proprietor would be
arrested, if not on the spot, war
rant would be served on him Monday
morning.
Mr. Ruerup stated today that he did
not quite catch the mayors meaning,
and he called at His Honor's office to-
day for the purpose of having talk
relative to the interview with the
mayor which appeared in The Free
Press last evening, and also to ask
the city's chief executive what he pro-
posed to do with places of business
that are alleged to be running on Sun
days contrary to the law. However,
the mayor was not in. He was away
from the city today OH private business.
Mr.. Ruerup will talk to the mayor on
his return There is one point the
like very much to be enlightened upon
what is the mayor going to do about
the Sunday program of the Chautau-
qua?
The mayor is not graphing with
trouble until he meets it, therefore, ne
has not given the Sunday Chautauqua
program any thought. The Chautau-
qua will not be an attraction in Man
kato for some weeks ye~t
Ministers Have Interested Themselves.
The Mankato Ministerial association
has been discussing the Cnautauqua
program, and placed itself on record
as opposed to the Sunday program that
was presented a year ago. The as
ISOLATION has gone so far as to notify
the bureau which has the Chautauqua
in charge that the Sunday program
for this year must be of a different
character, if the bureau hopes to Sc
cure the support of the ministers for
the Chautauqua. The Sunday exercises
bureau has replied that its representa-
tive will interview the association be-
fore arranging the program of attrac-
tions for Mankato. Up to date the
ministers have not received a call from
the bureaus advance man.
Looking for Information.
Another thing that Mr. Ruerup can
not understand why should the thea
tres in the twin cities be permitted to
do business on Sunday and his play
house in Mankato is forced to keep
dark? He is quite perplexed over this
query, and hopes to be ''put wise" by
Attorney General Simpson, to whom he
has dispatched letter of inquiry. Mr.
Ruerup has asked the attorney general
several other questions which have a
bearing upon Sunday closing. He is
anxiously awaiting the epistle from st.
Paul
1t was limited today that others aside
from Mayor Meyer would likely take
hand in forcing the Wonderland to
shut up shop on Sundays. Meanwhile
Manager Ruerup has a program made
out-talks with his own attorney, con-
| ferences with the mayor and seeking
information from the attorney general

Rev. Theodore Hegemann, S. D., for
a number of years pastor of st. Peter
and Panl's church, departed at noon
today for East st. Louis, H., where
he will be permanently located and
where he will establish Catholic
church and Jesuit college. The good
fathers departure from Mankato will
be greatly regretted by his parishioners.
He was an ideal priest, and his work
in Mankato was successful beyond his
most sanguine hopes. He is a gentle
man of great ability, possesses rare in
tellectual attachments and is con-
scientious, Christian gentleman whose
pure heart and strong mind are con-
secrated to the work of the Lord.
