This city was the home to "The Man Who Sold America", ad-man Albert D. Lasker. Over 600 Hawthorne Works employees died when the Eastland capsized in a river outside of this city. Another 600 people of this city died in a fire at the "absolutely fireproof" (*) Iroquois Theater in 1903. Home to mayors Jane Byrne and Harold Washington, the original Ferris Wheel was built for an event in this city supervised by Daniel Burnham and chronicled in Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City. For 10 points, name this Midwestern city which experienced a Great Fire in 1871, also home to the Daley political machine.
