Attorney T. P. Lindsay, accompanied by his wife, arrived at the St. Nicholas hotel last night from Guthrie, Oklahoma, on his way to Indianapolis for needful rest, and to escape the maiatial fever. Speaking of Gqthrie and the Oklahoma.

country, Mr. Lindsay did not give a very rosy account. The town now has 10,000 people, and is surrounded by a magnificent agricultural country, the best in the everything grows luxuriantly, there is plenty of spring water, and game unlimited. Venison sells in the town at 10 cents a pound, and quails abound, many Hying about in the streets ot the town. Irot there is no market for anything.

Kansas City is over 300 miles distant and Wichita is 160 miles away. Farmers are just making a living and the merchants and professional men barely exist. If Ihere was a market for the corn and catlle, Oklahoma people would be prosperous, bnt until the deep harbor scheme for the Gulf of Mexico is a reality, the people of Oklahoma and Kansas will be forced to hold in check their hopes of realizing a fair profit for their products in the agricultural and stock raising line.

The eastern part of the city had a conflagration last night at 12 o'clock which lit up all that part of town in a way that alarmed all of the factory owners nnd sent the lire department and the people galloping toward the east end in shoit order.

The alarm was sounded vigorously by the Wabaeh engines. The fire was al the Decatur stock yards, the large barn, worth $000, having become ignited in some mysterious manner. It was a long run for the firemen but they got there in good time but owing to the distance of the barn from the nearesl waler plug, over 1000 feet of hoge had to be laid across the 1.1). te W. railroad track so that water could be had.

The barn was partly filled with tons of hay, and it burned furiously, being beyond the control of the firemen. Two mules were also consumed in the llames. The loss ia in tha neighborhood of $1500. There was no insurance. The slock yards belong to Oliver Duck, of Missouri.

Charles Cunningham is ths local manager. Wanted--A Policeman. A groat deal of careless driving was engaged in last evening by the hackmen, who were conveying passengers from Ihe opera liouee to their homes at the close of the opera. One, two, or even three policemen at tho corner of Water and East Main streets would have had their bauds full in keeping the crossings clear for the hacks to pass. A large crowd gathered on this crossing last evening waiting for accommodation on the electric cars and some miraculously escaped being hurt.

Unless some provision is made a lady or gentleman will be struck by a hack and probably killed or fatally injured. Wedded Bliss. William A. Wallace and Mies Lillian M. Klett were united iu marriage last evening at the Baptist parsonage by Eev.

and dress circle well filled, the balcony crowded and the gallery nearly filled. It was brilliant gathering of lovers of. fine mosio, and all were given a rich treat seldom enjoyed in onr city. The opera was Balfe's '-Rose of Castile" in three acts, with the following cast: Elvira (Rose of Castile) Emma Abbott Don aa Carraer Lizzie Annandale Beatrice Myra Mlrella Manuel F. Mlchelnm Don Pedro i Broderlck Don Morlo -Conspirators-? Walter Allen UonSaiiuut H.Keady TM l)1 Richard Karl ysp Director Walter Allen Musical Director carl Martens In addition to the principals and the magnificent orchestra of 10 pieces--about the finest ever heard in the city--there was a strong chorus of 22 voices, the company filling the large stage, and producing the music of the Spanish creation in the most artistic style.

The opera which was elaborately costumed, told of the masquerade of the Spanish Queen who fell in love with and married a muleteer who turned out to be the King, to the great consternation of the three bold conspirators. The costly robes and diamonds worn by Miss Abbott were the admiration of the ladies and gentlemen as well, and the diva impressed the admiring audience with her dignity and grace. It was apparent that Miss Abbott was suffering from a slight cold, but nevertheless she sang and trilled like a bird in the sweet spring time to the mani. test delight of all. Her solos were gems of perfect vocalization, displaying the.

rich qualities of cultivated voice splendidly. Her encores were enthusiastic. William Broderick, Don Pedro of the opera, had ample opportunities to give range to his melodious bass voice, and MissAnnandale pleased everybody by her singing and acting. F. Michelina's.

Manuel was a picturesque character. It was well given by the gifted tenor whose broken English only added to the charm ot his singing. Walter Allen, who has been with the Abbott company six or eight the courtly comedian of the opera and provoked much laughter. As a whole the opera was a very tuneful and pleasing production and all present were pleased with the evening's entertainment. The company left at 3:10 this afternoon for Springfield where they will appear in "II Trovatore" to-night.

TUE "BOSK" AND HBB COSTUMES. In the first act Miss Abbott was lovely in the peasant dress of rose satin and ruby velvet, beautifully embroidered with passion flowers. In the second act the queenly robe was of amber brocade and ruby velvet, hand-embroidered with silver to represent frost; a wreath of diamonds. The third dress was of dark blue brocade and pale blue satin, hand- embroidered with trailing yellow jassa- rnine, All of the dresses were made by Worth, and were unquestionably the flnesl ever seen on the Decatur stage.
