"Now , tbcn , folil your hands on your lap , fix
your eyes on this hole in tlin tunt , look pleas *
nut anil keep quiet , that's it , now I"
The speaker was a small man In i\
checkered shirt , coliarlcss , with sleeves
rolled U | > nnd fingers- bespattered
with block and yellow chemicals. Ho
carried i Around with him nn odor { which
was not exactly that of Araby the hirst. Ho
was the tintype man at the fair. Ho lias a
llttlo square tent , In front of which are two
largo frames lilted with artistic- samples of
his work. A largo banner announces tnat
this is the original and only , the ofllclal Co
lumbian tlntypo gallery , and that the price
is four for 25 cents , The front of the tent is
utilized for n reception room. It is about
Tour by six foot. A weak mirror , which
gives ono the appearance of suffering
from St. Vltis dance or "blind staggers" Is
fastened to the center polo , from which also
Uanglo n comb and brush. The dark room Is
no larger than n patrol box and the apart
ment in the rear holds a three-legged
camera , seine ntljustiblo headrests and llio
"views. " Thcso latter are masterpieces in
their way ono seldom sees tinythlne llko
them. Ono of these ' 'sceneries" that is the
name given them by the majority of his
patrons Is supposed to bo a forest. Another
is n bold daub representing n grand ttalr-
way. The third Is a picture of tlio Adminis
tration building at least , that's what the
tlntypo man said. Most of the exposition
visitors who sit for tintypes prefer nn Ad
ministration mtilding background. Now , at
23 cents a sitting the tintype man must hurry
things in order to make a fortune before
tlio close of tlio fair , consequently ho squan
ders but llttlo time in posing his patrons.
If it is ono person , ho simply rushes him or
her to the chair , puts the iron clamps to his
or her head , pipes out his instructions , un
caps his camera for a moment , jerks out the
ulato and starts for the dark room at a
Nancy Hanks gait. If two persons are to be
taken , one must sit down while the other
stands behind with the right hand grace
fully and sort of accidentally resting on the
ahotildcr of the first. The artist calls this
the bride nnd groom attitude.
A family of six plain but honest people
walled us solemnly as If they were attend
ing funeral services or a surgical operation.
They Hied mournfully into the back of the
tent. At sight of tlio camera the younger
boy sot up a howl that could have been
heard at the Esquimaux village. Ills ma
said ho wouldn't "tako a purty picture with
thnt expression onto his face" and the tln
typo man evidently agreed with her. The
boy was carried back to the reception
room and the exercises continued
with but live participants. Two
broad , healthy girls in blue dresses primped
and fussed before the mirror. Ono was
rubbing her nose with her handkerchief in a
vain effort to dim the luster of a "shine"
that many a man would have given a dime
for on his boots down town , and whiun , in
the absence of the powder box. became more
brilliant with every rub. The other was
trying to arrange her bangs a la Bcrnhardt ,
or something , wilh some soapsuds and n
hair brush. , "Como. ladles , I can't wait all
day ; I am ready for you to sit , " said the
artist , poking his head through the flap.
With a last look in the mirror the two girls
went giggling into the gallery and were
shoved before tlio camera.
A llttlo later' two elderly men entered.
One walk'cd up to the artist und said : "This
man lives in Callforny and ho is my brother.
I llvo In Ohio. I ain't seen him before for
nijrh unto thirty year and the Lord only <
knows when I will see him again. AVe want
our pictures in a group. Some for my folks
nnd seine for his. " As they passed out two
dapper , straw-hatted young men and two
tailor-made young women entered. They
'cvidcnted considered the tintype adventure
ns u "lark , " for mo young women frequently
gurgled "How awfully funny ; did you ever
hear of suoh a thing ? " and the young men
were so nice and patronizing to tlio tintype
man.
man.Thus they como and go , hundreds , yea
thousands of them. In the meantime the
artist is raking in a goodly number of de
preciated silver and other dollars even at
SB cents.

TWOFERS AND FINE ONES.
A Country IJenlor AVho U Not Affected by
Hunt TlnicH.
While riding on horseback along a
lonely Jersey road about ten miles baelc
of Lake Ilopatcong ono day last week ,
says a writer in the Now York Herald ,
I approached a small hamlet of some
half dozen houses and a nonorul store. I
was tired , hungry and thirsty , nnd de
termined to apply at the. store for bomo-
thinp in the way of refreshment.
I stopped my horse , dismounted and ,
ascending the stops leading- the store ,
found the door looked. Peering in
through a window , liowovor , I saw the
proprietor evidently stretched out on
some sacks of Hour fast asleep.
"Hey , thcrol" i shouted , pounding
and kicking at the door. There was u
sound of shuniiiig feet and soon the door
was swung slowly open. An apparition
in jean troiibors tucked into his boots ,
hickory shirt and u battered straw hat
appeared in the doorway and wanted to
know who was "makin1 all that air rum
pus , anyhow. "
"Aro you the proprietor ? " I asked.
"I bo , " ho replied.
"Well " said I "do
, , you keep anything
to eat or drink in your place ? "
The apparition eye < l mo' closely , as if
ho suspected mo of having sinister dc-
blgns on his establishment. Then ho
replied :
"Well , as for anything to drink , you'll
have to go to the pump back in the
yard. That's all wo gets to drink 'round
these parts , 'copt , of course , a little
hard eider pnco In a while , but it's most
too early /or that. Something to cat ?
Well , 1 don't keep much on hand that
you cou\d \ cat , ban-in1 u side o' bacon era
a hunk o' salt codfish , but " with sudden -
don inspiration , "I'vegot seine popper
mint candy you might like to try. "
"Never intnd thut , " I snid. "Do you
keep cigars ? "
"Of course I do , " ho answered , "and
flue ones , too. How raany'll you have ? "
"Oh , u couple , " I bald carelessly , se
lecting that number from a box ho
offered me. "Whnt are these ? "
"Those , " said the apparition , swelling
with pride , "aro tlio I'ory best twofers
you cuu buy for miles around. "
"Twofui's ? " I ropotttod , as I lit ono o ]
them and tried In vain to make It draw.
"Yes , twofot'H two for u cunts. You
see , I tifcotl to keep onofors , but the boys
around hero thought they were too expensive

boomer camps along * the Wnlnutnnd Arkansas
rivers nothing but horse Is talked , nnd there
Is more jockeying done thnn at Outtcnburg.
In the past two weeks over 500 bronchos
from Texas have been sold nt auction on the
public strcols , nnd every stable in town in n

were being takoli ns good care of as It they
were going to run for u Derby stnko ; Light

of the features of the moment Is the nightly
training of the horses on tbo roads in and
about the town.
The Nebraska Inillnni.
Along with all the Interest that the open
ing of the Cherokee Strip has excited , I
wonder if the people of Nebraska over give n
thought of their Indians , the Otocs. In
cidental w'lh the opening of the Strip the
country now inhabited by the Otocs comes Inter
tor aoino share of interest , as it abuts upon
and adjoins some of the best of the new
country. The Otoca themselves are nlmoat
forgotten , as there nro not many of them
left and they nro not rich and powerful llko
the Osagcs and Clierokees.
When the Otoes loft their agency
on the Blue river In Qago county ,
never to return , they were piloted
to their now homo in the Indian
Territory by their agent and friend , Major
L. K Woodin , known to the Indians as No-
ha-bus-ka ( father with the big stomach. )
Major Woodiu is now a resident of Arkan
sas City , where ho has lived ever since ho
loft the Oloes on Iheir new homo in Indian
Territory. The major , who somewhat re-
semolcs Buffalo Bill shorn of his Howiug
locks , knows the Indians thoroughly nnd
speaks nearly all of Iho Indian dialects , be
sides Iho dialccls of the Maoris and other
Australian tribes. In July , 1880 , he was ap
pointed agent for the Otoes by Carl Schurz
and approved by President Hayes.
The government was at that
time taking slops to remove the
Otocs to the south , us they wanted to find
now hunting grounds nnd the proximlly of
civilization and b.ir soap did not agree with
their ideas of social ethics. The intonlion
was lo remove itiom In charge of Iho troops ,
which would have been an expensive under
taking , anil Major Woodin recommended
that ho bo allowed to remove them himsblf
mhls own way. This was approved of , and
in November , 1881 , the removal of 800 In
dians and 400 head of c.ittle , together with u
wagon train a milo long , was successfully
carried out. For twenty-three days the
caravan wound its way slowly across Kan
sas , hitching up at 8 o'clock : every morning
and unhooking ut 4 p. m. for supper and u
night's rest.
Indians Ono Reads About.
Just previous to leaving the agency old
Medicine Horse , one of the most remarkable
Indians of our time , led a band of young
bucks out of the agency , nud they stole away
south to 11 nd their own hunting grounds.
Medicine Horse did not have much faith in
the promises of the Great Father at Wash
ington , and decided not to wait until ho was
moved south with the olhers. The United
States troops tried to head off the wily old
savage , but ho circumvented them nnd
reached the banks of the North Canadian
river In Indian Territory. Ho did not
lind uucli gama there , however , and
the thoughts of the luscious
freshly killed agency steers finally
drove him inlo Iho now Otoo reservulion.
Major Woodin says ho was n magnificent
specimen of manhood nnd n thorough savage.
lie reminded ono of tlio J. Feunimoro Cooper
Indian of romance. Ho was over six feet in
height , magnificently proportioned and hud
all the ravage's love of personal adornment.
When ho got back to the rerervation he was
deposed from his chieftaincy and , drawing
himself up to his full height , ho thundered :
"You cannot depose mo. God made mo big
chief , und big chief I nm. "
"On the "big trail , " us tlio Indians sllll call
their journey from Nebraska , tlio mujor hud
u full stuff of assistants , including
a clerk and surgeon. The trip was
made without accident , but many amusing
incidents occurred. The Indians , whenever
they came to n favorable place , wanted to
go iato camp and lead ihcir old wild lifo.
They could not withstand the temptation of
temporary freedom. The chiefs at that
time were : Hurra-Garra , Standing Antc-
lope ; Muncha-IIunclm , Big Bear , who died
last week on the reservnlion at n great ago ;
Musit-a-gok-kay , Ground Hog ; Tlung-a-bus-
ku , Ar-ko-ko-ta and Wuh-hoii-nca-yca.
Nearly all of thcso nro dead and their places
have been taken by young bucks , who wear
red handkerchiefs about their necks , smoke
cigarettes and know a cocktail from a
whisicy sour.
Only n Few ot Them I.pft.
Their reservation is not of enough impor
tance to have a separate ncent , so they nro
under ono agent with the Poncns and
Pawnees , with tlio agency near Ponca , on
tlio Sunlu Fe railroad. The old Pawnee nnd
Kicknpoo Indian trail leads through thcso
reservations north and south nnd was for
muny years the highway into the Territory
and Texas. I visited the re&orvution re-
ccnily lo bo ublo to tell the people of Ne
braska how the former proprietors of their
fair stulo were getting along- . There nro
only about 150 of them left and they are
irruduully becoming extinct. Soon their
lands will bo given to them in severally and
the white settler will take whut Is left and
try to make a living off from it and the Otocs
will bo pushed ono stop nearer the 'Jumping
off place. " Thtir lumi is not particularly
good except In the Arkansas river bottoms ,
and ihoy make very llule use of it except to
cut hay for their horses winter uso. On the
bottoms ihcro nro u few llttlo "squuw
patches" where the women raise a few po-
laloos and melons. The Otoes ure , however ,
great horsemen nnd the young men devote
their time to raising nnd breaking "cnyuses , "
or typical litllo Indian horses , that are. good
for nothing but Indians ,
The Otoes nro pcnccublo nnd tractable because -
cause they are lee lazy to bo anything else ,
nnd their former greatness , If they over
possessed any , went out witii such chiefs
its Medicine Horse und Hurrn-Garru. The
only really powerful Irlbes of Indians
loft in this southern country uro the Oeagos
and Chorokces , who uro both rich und pos.
scsscd of sunicletit wisdom to hang on to
what they hnvo. Tlio Otoes nro not poor ,
but they nave not the strength of numbers
nor the leaders to make them conspicuous.

So much for the matter of receipts. In
the matter of prices there la ample cause
for . congratulation from the fact that values
have not only held their own during the
past week , but considering the very liberal
offerings there has boon n satisfactory im
provement. But little change has boon
noted in cattle all wcok. but that change
has been in the right direction. Notwith
standing the continued apathy of speculative
shippers and exporters , tlio demand from
local.slaughterers atone lias been sufllcionlly
vigorous lo absorb all desirable offerings
roudlly and anylbitig at all uselul
in the beef caltlo line sold lUu to
15o better nt the close than at the
opontnc of the wcok. The same lias been
true of butchers' stock and canncrs. While
there have been fairly liberal offerings of
both westerns and Tcxnns the quality has
not been such as 10 fairly test the market.
Prices , however , have advanced about n
dime on this class of stock and the demand
improved sharply toward tno close of the
week.
The market today was rnthor quiet. Less
than 1 < * 00 cuttle were received , and of these
not over 1,000 wore offered for sale , as about
500 southern entile were shipped direct ; o
slaughterers. Conditions were much the
same as they have been all week. Buyers
paid about steady prices for good dry lot
beeves , but would have advanced prices on
westerns had there been any good ones hero.
.Choice 5.250 to 1,5,10-lb beeves brought S4.50
and $4.75 , while f4 to 1.25 bought most of the
fair to good cornfcd cattle. Common half
fat and grassy siockSold down around f3.X ( )
and $3.75. The w.cstcrn and southern cattle
were common nndmoved slowly. It was
ale in the day before the pens were cleared.
The cow market'was toleraoly active nnd
n shade llrmcr.Offerings were limited and
Iho demand was irobd. Fair to good fat
cows and heifers ( sold nt from $2 to S2.50 ,
with common and , cn.miing grades at from
$1.23 to f 1.00. Common large to choice veal
calves sold in about the usual notches from
$2.20 lo $4.50. Th'oro were very few bulls on
sale and litllo demaiM for what few were
here. At $1.75 .there was 'no ' noticeable
change in the market cither ono way or the
Bother. j -t
After a fairly nc ifp trade In stockers and
feeders all wceli ; tlm'market .today lacked
both lifo. and sR-chgth. Lo\f prices and
easier money conditions brought lots of
country buyers oarlv.in the week , but now
that prices are up 15c to 2oc compared with
last week the rush to buy is not so great.
There was very little weakening in values ,
however , and $2.40 to $3.10 bought most of
the accent stock. Good to choice feeders nro
quotable nt from $2.75 to $3.25. fair to peed
at from $2.CO to $2.75 , and common stuff nt
from $2 to $2.00.
Great Activity In llogn ,
The feature of Iho hog market the past
week has been its activity and strength in
the face of exceptionally heavy receipts.
With nearly 40,000 hogs on sale , as against
17,000 a year ago , this week the trade has
been as lively ns any ono could wish and
prices have advanced a biglOccomp.ircd witb
last week's strong close. This increase in
hoe receipts has been general throughout
tlio west , the packing at all points for the
week being about 2IW.OOO , against 210,000 last
week and 11)5.000 ) the corresponding week
last year. The decrease in the season's
packing since March 1 lias been 1,110.000 hogs
and it is this fact , together with Iho light
"slocks" in packers' hands , Hint holds prices
up at present in spite of the increased re
ceipts.
Light hogs are still comparallvcly scarce ,
\\ithucontinucductivodomundbolhfroin
local and eastern butchers for them , they are
selling at a lOc to 15o premium over heavies.
The preponderance of heavy hogs at present
is shown by the following table , giving the
average weight of the hogs by months for
the p.ist six years :

llnylng American Socurltici
In his weekly letter Henry Clews , the
Wall street expert says of the market and
the conditions governing It :
"During the past week , the financial situ
ation has undergone n marked Improvement ,
and not only at this center but throughout
the country nt largo. The bank statement
of August yO , showed that , upon the week's
average , the reserves of the banks remained
$0,750.000 below the legal minimum ; but the
actual deficiency , nt the end of the wcok ,
was probably not ever $1,000,000. Since the
date of that statement , about $11,000,000 of
gold has been received from Europe , the
major portion of which has gouo Into the
banks ; nnd the receipts of money from the
interior have probably sufllced to offset the
shipments thither , while the sub-treasury
has continued to bo debtor at the clearing
house. Thus whatever may bo the
showing of today's statement based
upon averages , there can bo llttlo question
that the banks hold , at the end of the week ,
an amount of lawful money in excess of the
legal reserve requirements. 1'hls has natur
ally produced n moro contldcnt feeling among
the batiks , nnd though they nro not yet ma
terially extending their loans or discounts
nor retiring cortilicatos. yet they are getting
affairs into form for giving the public the
benellt of their improved condition at an
early day. Everywhere , the interior banks
nro getting into boiler shape. Many ctt
these that have suspended are resuming
business , nnd bank drawings upon Now
York have fallen to nominal dimensions.
'Hiniill Depositors Moro Confident.
"Tho near-by country batiks tire appearing
again ns buyers of morcautilo paper , which
is a significant expression of returning con-
ildcncu among n very cautious class of
lenders. The savings banks have Informally
considered the propriety of olTnring to prepay -
pay deposits the withdrawal of which lias
been notillcd , but seem to have preferred to
wait until the expiration of the thirty days
nottlleations. The thirty-day period termi
nated this week , the result being that only
10 per cent of that class of depositors withdrew -
drew their money. The notifications for
withdrawal at the end of sixty and
ninety days nro being fast canceled.
It is thus clear that it would bo
quite safe for the savings bauus to make the
suggested offer of prepayment , and that fact
suggests a probability that thcso institutions
may soon begin to return moro or less of
their cash funds to the custody of the reg
ular banks. The dealings in currency have
virtually ceased and the premium upon it
has disappeared , which is evidence on the
ono hand of the cessation of hoarding and on
the other of freer disbursements in money at
the banks. The foregoing facts afford the
best possible evidence of the return of
the monetary and banking affairs lo au ap
proximately normal condition.
ICH'fct ul I.UBC Miimluy'ri Vote.
' Tlio great event of the week , and the
ono which more than anything else has con
tributed to this important recovery , has
been the overwhelming vote of tlio house of
representatives against any increase in our
silver currency ynder the Sherman law.
That is an immense gain toward future con
fidence. It moans that , under no circum
stances , will this country tolerate any loose
experimenting with this form ot money , but
will insist upon it as a lixed policy that gold
shall bo the national standard. This re
stores to the national credit a rock founda
tion that will save it from such shocks as it
has lately sustained. It also carries the ad
vantage of dissipating the doubts among for
eign holders of our securities which have
sent homo probably $150,000,000 of them
since the Sherman act took effect. Mon
day's vote , carrying with it the certainty of
like action by the senate , has
been followed by a steady stream of buying
orders for stocks and bonds from London ,
Frankfort , Amsterdam and Paris. The ex
tent of these purchases may bo inferred
from the fact that , although someS15,000,000
of sterling bills borrowed sixty days ago have
matured within the week , yet the rates of
exchange , instead of being thereby adversely
affected , have been weak and verging on the
specie-importing point. It is to bo presumed
that in Europe , ns xvcll as athoinc ; , there is
among cautious investors a disposition to de
fer buying until the solution of the silver
question is placed beyond all question by the
vote of the senate. It is therefore to bo ex
pected that further purchases on foreign
account will bo forthcoming when tlio scnalo
has voted.
Hulls In Control.
"This common advance out of the 'slough
of despond' has revolutionized the tone of feel
ing in Wall street. The llrst effect was a
rush to cover 'short' sales , and the next a re
turn to the street of a class with ample
means of taking in bargains. It has been in
the best sense a week for the 'bulls , ' who
i jw are once moro in control of the market.
Hut for the occurrence of two great cyclones
within a few days , with vast destruction of
property and the interruption of telegraphic
communication with all parts of the country ,
the effect would have been still moro marked i
H has resulted , however , in u general ad
vance of several points in prices.
"The market has now reached n point at
which it may bo expected to bo sustained by
a steady and continuous improvement in the
conditions that inllucnco values. As confi
dence spreads through business our Inter
rupted Industries will resume work , de
pleted stocks of merchandise will be replen
ished , and the catching up of three months
of lost trade will cause a reviving spurt oi
activity , This commercial recovery wil
show Its results In increased earnings of the
railroads , nnd the whole country will return
by a steady and sure process , if not to n
normal aclivily which is too much to ex
pect so soon after such utter prostration-
yet to a moderate and conservative move
uicnt. Such a change carries with it leijltl
mate reasons for a rise from the prcsoni
very exceptionally low prices of securities
and wo therefore commend to our friends
the policy of buying upon all drops m quota
tions , "
