Hixson, Esq., who has been here some days as Instituting Chief, representing the Great Inco- honee of the United States, made Chiefs of about forty palefaces, as- sisted by Col. T. c. Mays, of Little Rock
 The name of the Tribe may seem little strange, but there is an in- cident connected herewith that gives it a local charm and promi- hence. Years ago two white chil- dren were stolen by hostile Chey enne Indians, and taken to their nation hundreds of miles away. The white settlers besought Sarras- sin, said to be the last Chief of the Quapaws, friendly tribe, to go in search of them, and alone and sin gie-handed he bravely made Lis way to the camp of the Cheyennes and brought back the captured children.
 The following officers were elected last night: Prophet, ". K. Pen

Pherson could not boast of the superior
quality of his matches, he could at least
feel proud of his rat poison. The COM
pound sold rapidly, for the supplies Of
grain stored in the city by the Confed-
crates caused the place to swarm with
fierce rodents of the largest size,
But there was one difficulty In the
way, and an unfortunate incident soon
destroyed the popularity of the poison,
and there was sudden falling off in
the demand Cor it, At that time there
was hat store nearly opposite the
book store. HolbroolS, the owner, had
no end of trouble with rats, and one
day in his wrath he determined to
make a clean sweep of them. Purchas-
ing several boxes of the exterminator,
he laid some big slices of stale bread ON
his counter and covered them with the
poison. He spread the mixture on the
bread with a caseknife and rubbed it
vigorously.
The merchant was flne-loolSing man
with big blond beard reaching nearly
to his waist. Just as he was giving
about q quarter of pound of the stuff
one of s. his most energetic rubs on II
hard slice of bread 1t suddenly blazed
up like gunpowder. The flames set fire
to Holbrook's handsome whiskers, and
when his clerks had thrown a bucket Of
water over him the astonished and
frightened halter would hardly have
been recognized by his best friend.
SEEKING the consumed piece OF
bread; he rushed across the street to
the book store. .s
where's MePherson?1 the singed
and blackened visitor shouted.
"Out at the factory" replied clerk.
What Is the matter, Mr. Holbrook?"
Matter enough.n. yelled the other.
"See what this internal rat poison has
done! 1t has almost killed me, ruined
my whiskers, and it came near burning
down my store. Tell Mcpherson that
want to see him right away. would
rather fight million rats than fool
with this blasted old poison"
| And the angry man darted back to
his store without giving any further
details of his misadventure. A visit to
| his barber, however made him more
presentable, and be was soon in bet
| ter humor.
"I'1l be dashed If know what to do"
said Mcpherson. eve must have rat
poison, you know, and matches. Peo-
| pie should be more careful. If they
will stand around and have plenty of
water handy when they use my goods,
they will get along all right"

Singular Week in the History of the
p Stock Market

Stock Market
New York, July 11~This singular
week of stock market history closed
with a day of reasonably active bust
ness, and with a sharp advance. The
political news which influenced this
movement was not the Chicago nom
inations--very little talk was heard of
them-but the boiling of platform and
ticket by soundmoney democratic
newspapers throughout the country.
This was "Reminiscences, in it's way, of
1884, with the difference that this years
revolt has already gone much further
than the demonstration of a dozen
years ago.
The influence of so emphatic revolt
among the strongest newspapers of the
United States is by no means confined
to the readers Of the boiling publica-
lions. Their action and subsequent
declarations, with the close attention
paid to prominent exchanges by all
smaller interior papers of the period,
viii strongly react on editorial opinion
in the remoter centers of population,
and being thus repeated in a wider
fore a vastly extended audience. This
is an axiom of journalism; it seemed to
be understood to-day on the stock ex-
change.
Although London houses did virtu-
ally nothing in the market, there was
very general covering of short accounts
by professional local operators. Under
these purchases several standard
shares advanced a point or more. Sc
curities of the "corn roads, were par
ticularly strong partly in view Of the
government crop report-and the gem
eral closing was not much below the
| highest
The bank statement showed aggre-
gate gain in money holdings. during
| the week, of $3,Ot9, 3o0-aImost wholly in
| legal tenders. This increase is in the
| main a consequence of the govern
ment's semi annual disbursements. The
treasury paid out, this week, not less
than $5,0OO,000 legal tenders, fully one
| half of which has come to New York
| repositories. There were virtually no
| gold exports in the period covered by
| the statement, while something likely
| half million currency has flowed in
| from the interior. This marked de-
\ crease In shipments from domestic
! banks to New York, city is likely to
| continue, and to regulate the local
money rate.
Following are the closing prices re-
| ported by Prince & Whitley, bankers
and brokers. As Broadway. New York,
