Notw itI,s andinz There L, a Break in the
Price of Live stock.
WASHINGTON. April 2O-Secretary Nor
ton when asked in regard to the report
from Chicago to the effect that his agita-
tion On the subject of high prices has led
to reduced consumption of beef and con-
scquent break in the markets for i've
stock, said so far as has been learned
there had been no break in the price Of
beef Notwithstanding tho smaller re-
ceipts OF cattle during the last two or
three months, he said, the market at Chi
cago had been reported dull and weak,
and it had been difficult for shippers to
obtain market quotations for their cattle.
The quotations on these animals had
recently been advanced from one-half to
thrce-qcartcrs of a cent pound, but it
was not easy for the producer to obtain
the higher prices. He added: "If supply
ami demand is the only influence which
is being exerted why should the price Of
beef continue high and the price OF cattle
be suddenly lowered? 1t is now stated
that Chicago and other slaughtcring
points will soon have all the cattle needed
and the result will be that prices will be-
gin to tumble, but We see no predictions
that the price of beef will tumble.
lit is not long since the large packers
wcrc claiming that the price of hides was
unremuneritive in this country owing to
the competition with hides imported,from
other countries, but with the falling off
in the receipts Of cattle the price of hides
has been suddenly marked up. Is it not
plain that the Chicago packers have more
power over the markets than has gcner-
ally been supposed!"

TOWN LAID WASTE.
Ardmore, ]. T., Ravaged by a
Furious Conflagration.
WHOLE BUSINESS SECTION IN RuM.

Ono Hundred and Fifty Store Buildings
Swept Away ut Cost of About 9SOO, 900
Citizens Fight the Flames with Neither
Water Works Nor Engines and Save the
Residences-One Man Fatally Burned
and Twenty-six Horses Roasted Alive.
ARDMORE, l. T., April 2b-Thursday
Ardmore could boast of being the largest
and most prosperous city in the Indian
Territory. Yesterday morning the entire
business portion of the city was wiped ont
by fire and 15O business houses, among
which were many two and three-s story
bricks, are a smouldering mass of ruins.
The aggregate loss entailed is variously
estimated at between $500, 600 and $50. QUO,
with the latter figures probably coming
near the correct amount. The insurance
will foot up to but one.third of the loss.
TIE fire started ut l o'clock in the morn
ing in the large livery barn Of Harper g.
Cecil in Caddo street. 1t spread with
marvellous rapidity and within less than
an hours time nearly every business
house on that street was in ruins.
Had to Fight It Hantl-to- Hand.
The city has no fire company or water
works, but the whole male population
turned out and desperately fought the
flames. 1t was soon apparent that the
business portion Of the city was doomed,
and efforts were directed towards saving
the residence section. They worked like
beavers, and at 6 o'clock a. m. had kept
the flames within the down town limit
Two large brick national bank buildings
and three other business houses on Main
street, east of Caddo with the postoffice,
is all Of the business portion Of the city
left standing. The scene of the disaster
on Main street is a sad one and the loss
will prove a decided set back to the city.
Man Fatally Burned and Horses Roasted.
Twenty-six livery horses were roasted
alive in Harper & Cecips stables. A man
named Neu, a stranger who was permit
ted to sleep in the barn, was so badly
burned that he cannot recover. The
cause of the fire is not known, there be-
ing various rumors as to its oriSin, but
it is undoubtedly incendiary. the large
federal court building and jail were de.
stroyed. Eighty prisoners confined in the
latter were removed to the Baptist church
beyond the danger line and placed under
a heavy guard.
Those Who Lost Over $4,000.
The following are the losers of $40, 600
and up in each case: Noble Bros, whole.
sale grocers, $50. QUO; j. b. Spraggin &
Co., hardware, s;5 900; w. o. Duston, dry

of Jerusalem they will steal the sepul-
cher of Christ and destroy everything
that can remind people Of him." Terrell
says this feature Of the interview was un-
