A SKISCRAPER | Blaze in Fifth Floor of Masonic Temple in Chicago Causes Panic and Many Are Hurt ELIi\'ATOR MEN ARE BRAVE RSN G A I‘hrough the Efficient Fire| Drill of the Employes the Flames Are Readily bubdued; — CH GO, Jan. 23.—Fire in the twenty-story Masonic Temple to-day caused a panic among the 4000 occu- pants of the building and damaged | the stock and fixtures of tenants to | the extent of $20,000. All occupants of the building escaped without se- ! rious injury through the bravery of | tlie elevator men, who remained at| | their posts operating their cars while | dense clouds of smoke filled the build- | ing. Thé fire broke out in the suite of five rooms on the fifth floor occu- ! pied by Robert Friedlander & Co., manutacturers of X-ray apparatus. A | lighted match carelessly thrown by4 au employe into a pile of excelsior in | the packing room is believed to have | siorted the fire. There was a large | number of X-ray vacuum tubes stored “ in the company’s rooms and these; exploded the moment the heat reached | them. Robert Friedlander, senior { member of the firm, realized the dan- | ger from these tubes and worked un- til overcome by smoke, throwing them | out of the window. The fire spread | rapidly from the packing room to the other rooms and in a few minutes the | entire suite was on fire and the light | shaft of the bullding was filled with | flaines. The thousands of occupants, of the bullding, with the memory of | the Iroquois Theater holocaust, which {occurred half a square away, fresh in their minds, were alarmed when clouds of smoke filled every floor and | rushed to the elevators. Many women | | | I | fainted in the scramble to get Into| the elevators, but none were seriously injure¢. The large building was | emptied within half an hour after the | fire was discovered. Hundreds of men and women groped their way | through the smoke and came down | the stairs. The injured were: Robert Friedlander, aged 45, over- | { come by smoke and slightly burned; | BOOks for Boys Julius Ernst, hands and face burned; | John Stack, stock boy, slightly burned | about hands; Henry Bu slightly | burned about head; B.

Fortune in Unanswered Letter. | The recent death of Lord Rawton, { Disraeli's secretary and the executor ot‘ | his estate, brought to light the follow- ling explanation of how Mrs. Brydges | | Willyams came to leave her fortune to | Lord Beaconsfleld: “Dizzy received one | { morning a letter from Mrs. W m)ams——' v\\hm‘.\ he did know—in which she | | said that she had read his novels with | much interest and would like to make | his acquaintance. She also asked a| question which rendered it necessary for him to answer the letter. quorlu~, | nately, the letter was left in his great- | | coat pocket, and Dizzy did not wear | the coat until several months after, | when he happened to be in the south of Tnglnnd and in the very town in which | Mrs. Willyams lived. Coming across the letter in such circumstances, it oc- curred to him to call upon her, and | Mrs. Willyams was so flattered at, as | she thought, his carrying the letter sm {long about him and then calling that! she decided on leaving him her for-| | tune. That shows how wise it is not to answer letters,” added Lord Rawton.— ADVERTISEMENTS.

SN 740 Market Street PLACE BLAME ON MANAGERSF Fire .Chief "Renders Report Fixing Responsibility for the Chicago Theater Disaster el 7 CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Upon the man- agement and builders of the Iroquois Theater has been placed the responsi- bility for the fire horror, in a report | rendered to Mayor Harrison by Fire Chief Murham to-day. The report was prepared by Fire Department Attorney Monroe Fulkerson after examination of | nearly 100 witnesses in the days imme- diately following the fire. No criticism is made of the building department, | although several violations of the building ordinances are noted. Attor- | ney Fulkerson concluded that the the- ater building was not completed at the time it was opened, that the theater employes did what they could to put the fire out, and that the doors and | exits were generally locked throughout | the building. | Between 300 and 400 relatives of vic- | tims of the Iroquois Theater fire at a meeting to-day began the permanent | organization of the Iroquois Memorial Association, which has for its chief ob- ject the erection of a monument to the memory of the persons who lost their lives in the holocaust. It is proposed to build a towering building monument ,| Out of 156,000 houses or flats in Glas- ‘ gow, '36.000 have one room only and 70,000 only two rooms. CURES Such . cures as Mr.- Peterson’s, whose testimonial appears below, explain why the Electro-Chemic practice, in less than two years, is the largest medical practice in San Francisco. He tells how Electro-Chem- istry cured his cough; how it cured the severe lung pains; how it built him up; how it stopped the ringing ear noises and im- proved his hearing and how it cured the awful neuralgia which at times racked his head. 2,27 The population of Ireland is 4,432, and the decrease for the last year hns been 16,003. ELECTDO CHEMIC Mr. Peterson is an old resident of San Francisco, well known in archi- tectural iron work. He says: “I found myself growing very sick. Catarrh was at the bottom of my trouble. I was quite weak. I had a bad cough. I had pains in my lungs. I was losing weight and strength rapidly. I had severe neuralgia. My ears were ringing most of the time, and I was grow- ing deaf. I looked as if I were going into consumption. I had to lose con- siderable time from my work, and at last I never felt well enough to do my work without considerable effort. A friend advised me to go to Grant avenue. the Electro-Chemic Institute, 118 As medical treatment was di | of absolutely fireproof material upon 1 _doing me no good, I decided to | the site of the theater ruined.

The careful examination which they made of me made me feel | have been made by several prominent | persons, whose names will be used to | head a public subscription. Whether it will be their purpose to erect such hospital or an office building has not been decided. that they knew my exact condition and could cure me. I have not been disappointed. The very first treatment helped me, My strength rapidly returned. I had such an appetite in a few days after beginning the Electro-Chemic treatment I codld hardly get enough to eat. Everything tasted good and everything agreed with me. My cough has been perfectly cured, and the pains in my lungs are all gone. The ringing in my ears has stopped and I hear perfectly. The awful neuralgia that ire- quently attacked me has been cured. It is marvelous that all of this cou be done in one short month. I began the Electro-Chemic treatment on De- cember 16, 1903, and was dismissed thoroughly cured on January 16, 1904—just thirty days. I have not lost a single day from my work since I began the treatment, and I am strong and well, and my work is now a delight instead of a burden. I am employed at the Western Iron Works, on Beale st, between Mission and Howard, and I live at 102 Arlington st. I feel it my duty to recommend to others the treatment which has so quickly, so thoroughly and so cheaply cured me. (Signed) N. PETERSON, 102 Arlihgton st., San Francisco. Home Treatment.

About 3000 head of cattle were dipped in oil in Colorado, Tex., under the perzonal supervision of J. B. Goodlett of Quanah for C. A. O'Keefe. The cattle are not to be moved from | the O'Keefe ranch, but were dipped, | believing that it would be a benefit to them. Mr. O'Keefe has had a large stone dipping vat constructed on his ranch and is a firm believer in the ef- ficacy of the dip. Mr. Goodlett, who | is the State agent for the official dip adopted by the State Livestock Sani- tary Commission, says that an inves- | tigation into the situation has con- vinced him that there is to be prac- tically no movement of cattle across the line this winter. He thinks there will be a fair movement in the spring, | however, when dipping will be gener- ally practiced. Speaking of the recent dipping in crude Texas oil that was done in his home town under Federal dirction, he says it is a conceded fact | that oil will kill the fever ticks, but he | | does not believe that dipping in oil ¢ will ever become general. He sdys while the oil may not injure the cat- tle, yet for the period of about two | weeks it transforms them into sthe most disreputable looking beasts that ever walked the face of the earth. In Ia fortnight the oil has had time to ear off.—Galvaston News. —_—— To-day American dried fruits, canned | | meats and vegetables, office furniture, typewriters, cash registers and many articles of ironware used in the con- struction of buildings, etc.. are well | mors, Old Sores, Blood Poison.
