More Than Half the Business
Portion Burned.
TELEGRAPH WIRES DOWN
Two Entire Blocks Of Houses Swept
Out Clean-Tw0 OF the Largest
and Best Bnilding in the
Territory Consumed

Muskogee sustained very dis
astrous fire this morning, one-half
the business part of the town
(probably more than half in val
ue) being consumed between $50
and S o'clock. The fire caught in
negro restaurant opposite the
court house, to the east. From
this corner everything east to the
railroad and south to the street
crossing the railroad at the depot
was burned, and also the Madden
Hardware company's big double
front store across the street to the
north, and the building due east
of it, across the main street.
There were five buildings on the
row where the fire started, one of
them being occupied by the Mus
kogee Daily Times. Others were
occupied as tailor shops restau-
rant or two and several law Of
fees, including Msrcum & Owen,
and Degrafienreid. The east side
uf this block contained about seven
wooden buildings, most of them
two story. The corner one, near
est Madden's, was occupied by
Louis Cohn, the Rochester tonic
man. South of him was the double
grocery store of 7. A. Chandler, OF
this city, associated with his
uncle, Jim Chandler. There were
five wooden buildings south of
Chandler e. Co., belonging to the
Turner estate and 10 Capt. Sewers.
The entire south end Of this block
was occupied by the new A. Z.
English brick and stone block,
probably the handsomest in this
territory, portion of which was
uncompleted. This was burned,
with its tenants, which included
the Baker jewelry store, the Mus.
kogee Drug Co., and the CONNER
cial bank. The jewellery establish
ment is said to have no equal be-
tween Dallas and Kansas City, and
the drug store was also very fine.
In the upper story of this building
was the office of Union Indian
agency and the office OF Inspector
j. George Wright. All the records
of Union agency are gone, the ac-
emulation Of years, even though
of uncertain value. Milo Adams
also conducted billiard hall on
the same floor, and it was on this
floor that the telephone exchange
was situated.
To the east is the great Turner
Hardware Co. establishment, which
went down with its opera house
and Masonic halls, and in it and
to the north the Grand Leader
(Mills)dry goods, the Boston store,
dry goods, and Brown, general
merchandise, (formerly Brady, a
barber shop--two.story building
c. G. Ayers, general merchandise,
two-story, bakery, billiard hall and
three or four restaurants, one of
them being across The street to
the north, in front of the Madden
hardware establishment. Between
this row and the railroad was situ-
ated the electric light plant, in a
brick building and to the south and
east Of it, the Hotel Adams, in

the same OF receive the rents
thereon until allotment has been
made to him: Provided further,
that nothing herein contained
shall impair the rights of any
member of tribe to dispose OF
any timber contained on his, her,
or their allotment.
Sec. II. That it shall be un-
lawful for any citizen of any one of
said tribes to enclose or in any
manner, by himself or through
another, directly or indirectly, to
hold possession of any greater
amount of lands or other property
belonging to any such nation or
tribe than that which would be his
approximate share of the lands be-
longing to such nation or tribe and
that of his wife and his minor
children, as per allotment herein
provided; and any person found in
such possession of lands or other
property in excess of his share and
that Of his family, as aforesaid, or
having the same in any manner
inclosed, at the expiration of nine
months after the passage of this
act, shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor.
The secretary of the interior
has arbitrarily decided so acres to
be the limit of the approximate
share" clause.
Section Is is the townsite pro-
vision and therefore OF more i'm
portance to Ninita than other por-
lions of the law; it is as follows:
Sec. Is. That there shall be
commission in each town for each
of the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek
and Cherokee tribes, to consist of
one member to be appointed by the
executive of the tribe, who shall
not be interested in town property,
other than his home; one person
to be appointed by the secretary
of the interior, and one member
to be selected by the town. And
if the executive of the tribe or the
town fail to select members as
aforesaid, they may be selected
and appointed by the secretary of
the interior.
Said commissioners shal, cause to
be surveyed and laid out in town
sites where towns with a present
of two hundred or more
are located, conforming to the ex-
listing survey so far as many be,
with proper and necessary streets,
alleys, and public grounds. includ-
ing parks and cemeteries, giving
to each town such territory as may
be required for its present needs
and reasonable prospective growth;
and shall prepare correct plats
thereof. and file one with the sec
retary of the interior, one with the
clerk of the United States court,
one with the authorities of the
tribe, and one with the town au-
thorities. And all town lots shall
be appraised by said commission
at their true value, excluding i'm
provements; and separate appraise-
ments shall be made OF all i'm
provements thereon; and no such
shall be effective un-
i'll approved by the secretary of
the interior, and in case of disa-
greement by the members of such
as to the value Of any
lot, said secretary may fix the
value thereof

The appropriations made by the
Congress just closed were large in the
aggregate, but II any man can point
out any particular appropriation that
was not needed, he had not yet done
SO. A largo proportion Of the total
was for the war, and to meet expenses
consequent thereon. For several
wears the condition of the Treasury,
owing to four years of Democratic
hard times, made it necessary to skip
the appropriations for public build.
ings, many of which were badly
needed; these have been provided for
as well as important River and Har-
Dor improvements. The Republican
party has always believed in liberali-
ty in these two classes of expendi-
lures, when the condition Of the Treas
ury would justify it.

Some of the Bryan Democrats are
saying that Tammany is not a Dem.
ocratic organization at all, and that
the Western members of the party are
justified in declining invitations to
take part In the New York demonstra-
ton on %Jefferson's birthday. The
chief reason why the Bryanites, how
ever, refuse to participate in the Tam
many gathering is that the rrircipal
speakers at it will tain in faysr of
honest money and expansion, two
things which the Bryanites hate. As
all of the Eastern Democrats stand
with Tammany on the honest money
issue, and as many of them are with
it on national expansion, the absence
of the Western men from the gather
ing will show that the chasm between
the two sections of the Democracy is
as broad as it was in 1896. Without
the East the Democratic party, Of
course, has not the shadow of a
chance to carry the country, and the
East and the West are far apart at
moment.-Globe- Democrat.

The present mania for trust organ
ization is being carried to such an
extreme that, SO far as there is any
Intention to Cypress the public, it is
likely to defeat its " purpose. The
need of hostile legislation thus be-
comes less all the time. The situation
now is simply that promoters are en-
dsavoring to organize trusts in order
to unload the stock on the specula-
ting public. Several of these attempts
have met failure-the pottery trust be-
ing the most notable example.
