AVALANCHE OF BURIALS
Tax Chicago Undertakers and Ceme
tery Workers to tli: Utmost-Kor:
Theatres Ordered Qosed.
Saturday and Sunday in Chicago
■were given over entirely to funeral-3
and burial of the Iroquois theatre vic
tims.
Saturday morning church bells be
gan tolling, business activity checked,
-many celebrations postponed ami long
lines of funerals making their way io
the outlying districts where the ceme
teries are situated —were circum
stances evidencing Chicago’s outward
grief for the victims of the Iroquois
theatre disaster. The unidentified
dead will be kept as long as possible
at the morgues. If no one then comes
to lay claim to the bodies they will
be buried at the city’s expense.
Sunday the solemn work of the un
dertakers was resumed, and for the
first time in the history of the city all
the people who desired to bury their
dead were unable to do &o. The unpre
cedented demand for hearses and car
riages would have been enough in it
self to tax the very utmost resources
of the undertakers, but the heavy snow
increased their difficulties enormously.
All of the cemeteries in Chicago are
miles from the business center and
residence districts, and with good
weather and the streets in passable
condition, it is a matetr of several
hours to reach one of them.
Cemetery officials were compelled to
keep men at work all through Saturday
night digging graves, and in some ol
the large cemeteries they barely man
aged to make them with sufficient
speed.
All Theatres are Closed.
Saturday night every theatre in the
city of Chicago was dark and with
doors locked. Not one of them will be
open to the public until their managers
have complied in the fullest manner
with every section of the ordinances
regulating play houses.
The order compelling the theatres
to close were issued Saturday after
noon by Mayor Harrison.
Seventeen theatres and museums
were closed Friday night, and the
sweeping order of the mayor Saturday
shut the doors of seven more. These
last are the leading theatres in the
business section of the city.
Tho seventeen places ot amusement 1
which were shut Friday night were
closed for the one reason that they
were not provided with an asbestos
curtain. The further action taken is
in consequence of violations of other
sections cf the ordinance regulating
theatres.
It was announced that every theatre
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-proofed scenery, no
calcium or “spot” lights to be used on
the stage, skylights above the stage
provided with automatic lids to per
mit the egress of smoke, fire and gas,
separate stairways—each exit having
its own stairs leading to the street.

“DOLLAR DINNER” FOR BRYAN PROPOSED.
Loyal Supporters of Nebraskan to Have a
Love Feast in Lincoln.
In an invitation issued at Lincoln
Nebraska, Bryan democrats ask all the
faithful to a banquet January 18. Af
ter telling of the honors conferred on
Mr. Bryan abroad, the call declares:
“Loyal democrats, therefore, deem it
only fit and proper that this splendid
American citizen and great democrat
be honored by his fellow democrats
upon his return home and, to that end,
are arranging a ‘dollar dinner’ to be
held at the Linrfell hotel, Lincoln, on
Jannuary 18, 1904.”
An Elephant Problem.
When Ah Chung, a Chinaman, died
it was found that he had left prop
erty by will to his three sons, as fol
lows: One-half to the eldest, one-third
to the next, and one-ninth to the
youngest son. When the property
was inventoried It was found to con
sist of seventeen elephants. Here
was a dilemma, for it was impossible
to divide the property according to
the terms of the will without chop
ping up the seventeenth elephant. Fi
nally the heirs applied to a wise law
yer, Sam Punk, for advice, which they
promised to act upon. Sam Punk had
an elephant of his own. He drove it
into the yard with the seventeen, and
said:
“Now, we will suppose that your
father left these eighteen elephants.
Fum Hum, take your half and de
part.”
So Fum Hum took nine elephants
and went his way.
“Now, Nu Pin," said the wise man,
“take your third and depart also.”
So Nu Pin took six elephants and
went.
“Now, Ding Bat,” said the wise
man, “take your ninth and begone.”
So Ding Bat took two elephants and
disappeared.
Then the lawyer took his own ele
phant and went home again, feeling
very well satisfied with himself. —Cas-
sell’s Journal.
Took His Medicine.
Scrap formed an acquaintance with
the baker’s small daughter, Sophie—
not quite as neat and agreeable a
young person as could be uesjred, so
his mother absolutely forbade him
to go over to the bakery or invite So
phie to our house. Time and again the
attraction across the street proved too
great, and Scrap disobeyed. At last
the mandate went forth: Scrap was
to be whipped if he went again. This
was too terrible, so days passed and
Scrap contented himself with only
watching Sophie from the parlor win
dow. At last one afternoon he burst
into his mother’s room with despair
on his small face.
“Mamma,” he exclaimed, “whip me
now, please, hard, quick as you can,
for I must go to see Sophie!”—Lucy C.
Lillie, in January Lippincott’s.
A Modern Samson.
From Tisra Szs Miklos, Hungary,
comes the story of a modern Samscn,
although the Delilah is missing. Ru
dolf Tyrritz, the strongest man in his
part of the country, was building a
stable for a farmer. When it was all
but completed a dispute arose about
pay. Rudolph so lost his temper
that he grabbed one of the pillars
which supported the roof and shook
it so hard that the whole structure
came down on him. He was killed.

GOVERNOR OF ORE6ON
CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGO*.
A Letter From The Governor of Oregon.
Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and
commendation testifying to the merits of
Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. Dr.
Hartman is receiving hundreds of such
letters daily. All classes write these let
ters, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher—all agree that Peruna is the ca
tarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must" be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well nigh universal; almost omni
present. Peruna is the only absolute safe
guard known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe
runa not only cures catarrh, hut prevents
it. Every household should be supplied
with this great remedy for coughs, colds
and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continu
ally in the house. In a recent letter to
Dr. Hartman he says:

Dear Sirs —l have had occasion to
use your Veruna medicine in my
family for colds, and it proved to be
■an excellent remedy. I have not
had occasion to use it for other ail
ments,
Your very truly,
W. AT Lord.
It will he noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pe
runa for other ailments. The reason for
this is, most other ailments begin with a
cold. Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other ail
ments. This is exactly what every other
family in the United States should do.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic
affections of winter, and there will be no
other ailments in the house. Such fam
ilies should provide themselves with a copy
of Dr. Hartman’s free book, entitled “Win
ter Catarrh.” Address Dr. Hartman, Co
