FINALLY FOUND HIS MAN.
Small Ad in the Ardmoreite Was His
Only Clue.

Small Ad in the Ardmoreite Was His
only Clue.
W. NJ McCarty of Tussy was in
the city yesterday. and told us he was
a witness in court. He stated that
in December, 1898. someone stole
four head Of his cattle, and he after
ward advertised for them. giving a
description Of them, in the Ardmore-
ite. This was in the spring Of 1899,
and he located fine milk COW and
some Of the other stock. by means
of the little ad he placed in the Ard
moreite.
II was not until this year. however,
that he succeeded in locating the
man who stole them, although the
little ad also gave him the clue to
work on, and he finally succeeded in
establishing evidence against a for.
mer neighbor Of his.
The thief was promptly billed be
fore the grand jury. and Mr.. McCar
ty was here TO appear against him
in court.
And so it was that the ArdmoreitC
caught the thief.

FIRST WARDS PROTEST.
object to Paying s. Street Tax Unless
Streets are Opened.

The Ardmoreite learns from a re-
liable source that the sentiment Of
he people Of the First ward is against
paying s. for street tax. unless the
city council can have their streets
and alleys opened.
They think If they pay out their
good money for the improvement of
the streets that they should enjoy the
benefits therefrom. and the first thing
they want is some streets on which
they can travel all the way to town,
instead Of having TO turn several
blocks out of their way to reach their
destination.
The First ward people pay more
money into the street and alley fund
than any other ward in town. and
their wants should be looked after.

The objection Of street tax payers
in the First and Second wards to an
increase OF taxation unless they can
obtain use Of the streets and alleys
is valid one. The objection is de-
cidedly proper one. and will win. for

force money from a person, without
giving value in return Many Of
these people who are paying street
tax are forced TO go two and th.ee
blocks out Of the way, day after da-.

the crossings at the railroads are
blocked against travel Would it be
right: is It dealing Justly with your
fellow townsman, to ask him to con
tribute to this street tax unless he
can receive some benefit from e. The
city council has ordered every street
and alley in the city opened. Let the
order be enforced. and use the street
tax fund TO keep them in shape.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Qnc.) Cotton Letter


 NEW YORK, April 22.-Not much business was doing after opening today. Sales took place at 2d4 advance. but orders few on either side and the expectation that mar ket of narrow range was booked for the i'm mediate future. Receipts attracted little at tention and the same may be said of the weather which fair over the South with reasonable temperature. Some deploring the withdrawal of the bull leader who has SO prominently figured in the market for some months. while others regard the outlook as more promising than ever, since cotton will be more influenced by its merits more than artificial support. Prices declined on New Or leans selling during the morning; in fact, the only support came from Liverpool and the market lacked much spirit at any time. The weather in the South has been most favor able for the crop for some time and little complaint is heard except in sections of Texas where damaged by hail has necessi- tated replsnting. Some portions of the State complain of lack of moisture despite the big rains of last week and on the whole the feel ing Is that Texas is doing no more than fairly well regards crop preparations to date. The weekly Government report on the crop said that very good progress has been made in cotton planting except in portions of Tennes- see. Carolinas and Florida. Estimated port receipts today were 1000, against 1000 last year.

NEW ORLEANS. April 22.-Liverpool was reluctant to deviate from the upward ten- dency and in the early reports deliveries were qhote,l unchanged. though closing figures are ! point lower. The tone of spots was called Hardening and TO- 900 bales changed hards at yesterdays prices. Manchester reported 2 very satisfactory tone in manufactured goods and 1t seems that foreigners are inclined to become accustomed to the prevailing level of val9es for raw cotton. Trading here in the early part of the session largely in the nature of covering by longs. induced by a diminution in the urgent demand for spots and under this influence prices experienced moderate setback. but local bulls rendered tive support later and contributed towards establishing steady tone at the decline Closing quotations points lower on this crop and IL 66 points down on the next. The situation continues to be governed in large degree by the character of developments in the spot department. The disappearance of an immediate eager demand for actual cotton has caused a slight relaxation from the un- sbated nrmness recently displayed. but this fact has had no perceptble influence on the trend of sentiment. which apparently remains distinctly favorable. In the natural order of things some reaction from the extended rise was to he expected but the market appears ever ready to respond to any encouraging in cidents
