Berresen Sends Glad Kews Home that He Survived the Iroejnole Fire. ' Chris P. Borreson, formerly of this city and who was supposed to have been lost In the Iroquois theater fire at Chicago. was really In the fire, but fortunately escsped, as Is Indicated by the following letter received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Borreaon yesterday afternoon: CHICAOO. Jan. 12., 1?04.-Dear Brother anu t-arrms: i am an right. I waa In Iha theater at the time of the Are with some of my friends, but I managed to get out alive. I was badly hurt on the arm and leg. I Just got out of the hospital today and could not answer your letters any sooner, i ne nre waa the worst thing 1 ever saw or waa ever In. All the bovs had their girls along. I had a time to get the young lady and her sister, who were with rno, out. But we jlld t-et out, but we had a Job of It. Everybody went away and the smoke and Are were terri ble. I was behind the girls and when we got to Hie door, pushed them out and then we all went head first down the stairs. That Is the way I got my arm and leg hurt. I don't know how I got out after that. ' The next morning I found myself In the hospital. I will not be able to do any worn lor a month or so. I do not care to get In a place like that sprain. I will be all right In a few weeks. Tell mother that I am all O. K. I lost my hat and one shoe in the Are and my coat was torn all to pieces and I got a bad knock on the head tnat put me to sleep. hone you are all well. Best regards to all, your brother. CHRIS BORRESON. Chicago, HI. Dangers at Cold aad Hem ta Avoid Them. More fatalities have their origin In or re sult from a co'.d than from any other cause. This fact alone should make' people more careful as there Is no danger whatever from cold when it is properly treated In the beginning. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been recognised as the most prompt and effectual medicine In use for this disease. It acts on nature's plan. loosens the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions and aids nature In restoring the system to a healthy condition. A big Union Faclnc pile driver end three flat cars loaded with piles arrived at the stock yards yesterday afternoon. As soon as the pile driver can be placed In posi tion the driving of piles for the viaduct across the tracks will be commenced. The piling at the east end was started some time ago, but cold weather put a stop to the work. Now that the large outfit has arrived with plenty of men and material the work Is to be pushed right along. The new work will commence In front of the exchange building and the driver will work towards the east. This work of driving the piling will be under the Immediate direction of the en gineers of the t'nlon Pacific. Chief En gineer King of the Union Stock Tarda com pany requested this some time ago and the railroad officials agreed. This request was made particularly on account of the fact that the steel spans across the tracks are being handled by the Union Pacific. The spans used will be part of the steel spans used by the Union Pacific at the American Falls bridge across Snake river, Idaho. The railroad company has recently erected a new bridge at American Falls and will use the spans he're. Engineers say that the bridge to be erected here will be much heavier than there Is any necessity for on account of using the railroad bridge steel. The viaduct Is to have a roadway of twenty-two feet and a five-foot walk on each side of the driveway. According to the plans agreed upon, there will be a straight grade from Twenty sixth and O streets to the western terminus of the bridge. All of the alterations to be made In the steel spans will be done at the Union Pacific shops In Omaha and the material sent here as rapidly as it is needed. Wilt Ttot ReiKn. When the announcement waa made at ths Live Stock exchange that M. R. Murphy had been appointed general manager of the Cudhy Packing company the question arose as to whether Mr. Murphy would resign as president of the Live Stock ea change. Mr. Murphy is a democrat and declares that he will not resign. He will endeavor to hold both positions. Those who are familiar with the meetings of the exchange say that Mr. Murphy can can slntently hold both positions and at the earnest request of friends he made the statement at the exchange yesterday that he would remain president of the exchange. Aid Society Elects Officers. A meeting of the Ladies' Aid society of the First Bresbyterlan church was held at the home of Mrs. R. L. Wheeler on Wednesday afternoon. These officers wars elected: Miss Anna Qemmlll, president; Mrs. O. P. Taylor, vice president; Mrs. W E. Bonnie, secretary; Mrs. C. E. Bcarr, treasurer. A committee composed of Mrs. Alfred Barber, Mrs. "Catherine Neihus, Mrs. O. P. Taylor and Mrs. W. E. Bonnie was appointed to make arrangements for a dollar social to be held soon. The pro ceeds of this social will go to the church Improvement fund. , Wreck Still Remains, Nothing has been done yet towards clear ing away the debrla caused by the recent lire at tbe stock yards. Insurance adjust ers looked over the burned buildings yester day, but when they left there was no In timation aa to when the Insurance would be adjusted. Just as soon as the ad justers settle the matter the wreckage will be cleared away and the dead animals will be hauled to the tanks at La Platte. Every effort Is being made to ascertain the cause of the fire but so far no one hus been found who can give any explanation of the matter. As for rebuilding on the site of the barns destroyed. General Manager Kenyon has not come to a determination and will not until after the Insurance Is adjusted and the site of the old building cleared. Farmers Holdlnn- Back. An official of one of the big packing com panies said to a Bee reporter last night that the packers were now away behind on orders. It is asserted that this is caused by the farmers holding back shipments with the expectation .that better prices will soon prevail. Reports from the country are to the effect that there Is plenty of stock in the terri tory adjacent to South Omaha but that farmers are well fixed for food and prefer to hold back shipments until there Is an advance In the market. till . sclllna Tickets. The committees having In charge the sale of ticketa lor the coming hospital charity ball are meeting ' with a considerable amonnt of success. South Omaha people are responding liberally and a great many tickets have been sold In Omaha.
