night, when It was dHoov«r#l Uiai
the Commercial lIoUl, conduct*! by
Mr*. Gerard, and liulldliiir Owned by
Jim llall, of Muskogee was oil lira
The lire wagon wss there at ones,
and tli* hsnd chemical* uttd. Ths
look of water «u all that provenUfd
the boy from e«tlngul liliig tlieblass.
The lira caught In one of the up
Ml aim rooms, and the origin Is not
known. The furillturo and contemn
belonging to Mm. tlernrd, valued at
§I.40U, were Insured tor •l,t*W. We
did not learn whether Mr. Ilall.liad
Imturanee or not.
Sunday night about 'midnight
llugliUreeii'M barn wa discovered U>
be a sheet or Haines. It soon burned
to the ground, entailing a severe loss
on Mr. Green.
Between II snd 12 o'clook Monday
night the ne*t cry of lire was made
and the location was one of W. L
Lang's houses on Missouri Avenue.
The lire caught from the Inside, au^
cause Is unknown. It wus occupied
by Mrs. Wright, a colored washer
woman, who saved part of her got ids,
but had no Insurance. Lang had 1300
Insurance, with a M'W valuation.
The tire team as usual, got the wagon
there In a Jfffy, and again the chemi-
cal was used. Mr. Lang Is very
thankful for the work done, as lie
figure* that the chemical used at the
start saved his ;;otlier]ZI louse ss the
two were located so close together
It looked almost Impossible for one
to be taken and the other one left.
There isajgreat deal "of mystery
about nil fires, and the thought ad
vanced that at tlrst some one liad
been setting Ures around town for
some reason would seem to be wrong
:ts both these places caught from the
Interior. There are many ways of
lire starting, but about as common a
way as can be Is to throw down a
lighted match and; leave It, maybe
datChltW i|i carpets orfcsomethliig of
'that kind. Matches dropped are
llnble to lie Btepped>i, or llres care-
lessly watched In stoves may cause a
house to be burned.
Every citizen should be very care-
ful of these things. A little blaze on
a windy night might burn up half
the town. It chanced that all of
these Ures came on still nights, and
not much danger from spreading
When a fire Is sighted, run to the
first telephone, call up central
and report a tire and give the loca-
tion by streets. Call'the street and
then the avenue nearest. This gives
the driver a ohauce to drive
straight there with no turnings or
delay. With a ^sufficient water sup-
ply Claremore will sava half the
buildiugsthat catch afire.

Our Mirkel Letter.
Special to the Messenger:
Kansas City Stock Vards, Oct 7,
1UJ7. General cattle receipts were
well spread out through all of l st
week and proved t,o be heavier than
tiie run tlrst two days indicated,
total 87 <>JJ head, including 11,000
calves. The market advance.; sllgut-
ly on quarantine steers, top $4,221, al-
though there was nothing g >od of-
fered, aud cows gained 5 to 15 cents
with a top $ >.50. Supply today is 55
car loads, moderate for Monday, bulk
nf steers composed of tail ends, same
as have been coming lately, ranging
fro in #3.35 to $4.00, cows and canners
,it $2.25 to $3 35, calves $3.7i to $5.50,
the market in the quarantine divi-
sion called steady. A depressing lt>-
lluence today is a bi„' run of rangers
at Chicago and at Omaha, and the
general trade here today is credit
able, in view of the situation else-
where. StocUer and feeder move
ment last week exceeded 900 car
loads, market closing slightly lower,
prices abouL siea>ly toda.y on country
kinds. Lighter runs are predicteu
after this week, as car shortage will
likely curtail movement fivin the
distant range country, which will
have to furnish a lark'e portion of tht
supply for the next several weeks.
Hog prices made a net loss of 7
eeuts per cwt. last week, after a great
many fluctuations, affecting all
weights. Shipping orders from St.
Louis called lor heavy weiglit hogs
one or two days, which put Uiis class
within closer range of the light
weights, but the week closed with
light lio^s showing the customari
margin above the others. Run is
70J today, market 5 higher, light
hogs selling at $0.25 to $ti.45, medium
weights 10 to $0.35, heavy ho^s
$0.00 Lo *0 20 Heceipis are now run-
ning slightly heavier than at this
time a year ago.
Scott Sella Diary.
h. C. Scott has sold his diary and
all the equipment belonging to same
to E. V lfartman. The transfer took
place Tuesday morning. During his
nine months ownership of the dairy,
Mr. Scott applied strictly business
principles to its management and as
a result built up a proiitable businesu
His many friends aud patrons regret
to see him retire but since there had
to bj a change, we know of n > m i n
whom can come nearer lilliiiu the tlli
than Mr. Hartman. He is full of
energy i nd push aud we believe has
lha business ability to keep the dairy
up to its present, high standard.—

The Irish Senator.
McCabe and Mack, with their fun
making play "The Irish Senator,"
amused a goodly sized house Monday
night, and produced more laughs to
tlie square Inch than any company so
far Uiis season. The comedian was
especially funny, aud as the Senator
from Oklahomn, he amused all, and
while serving In tliat capacity poli-
tics seemed thrown aside, for every-
one seemed pleased with his work as
a fun producer, however, and not as
A statesman. This company can ^
Iiang up here almost any time and se- er without iu"
cure a good hearing. , House Dru* >iore.
