Coincidentally with the appearance of the group of Sioux Indians who have been giving picturesque variety to Bir- mingham street scenes the last two days there came to the State Herald the big government "Blue Book" in which are published the names of all officers and employees of the government, even in cluding the Indian police, one of whom is a notable figure among the Sioux visitors. As I observed them trudging along Nine teenth street yesterday with heads barred to the steady, gloomy drizzle, I was re- minded of Face. a famous warrior, now long become good by reason of his being "deceasted," and I thought of the curious and ingenious names of the Indian police now recorded as serv- agencies. Here are some of them: David Little Dog, TCm Little Bear, Standing Bird, Henry Roman Nose, Bob Tail Wolf No. 3, Standing in Water, Jcseph Black Spotted Horse. Louis Rattlirg Rib, Jos hua Scares the Hawk, John Makes It Long, Puts On His Shoes, Dennis Brings the Horse, John Four Moon, Peter White Bobtail. One to Play With, Bad Dutch man, Medicine Tall, Old Rabbit. Strikes Himself On the Head, Comes From Above, Little Whistle Possum, Coffee Grounds, Horse Back. Robert Took Shirt Foolish Woman. David Afraid of Bear Henry Looks for Horses, William Walks Under Ground, Frank Scatters Them James Hairy Bifd, John NO ttarS, Grover Short Bear, Mister Two Belly.
 Robert A. Mcclellan. Esq, of Athens popularly regarded as the successor of the late Colonel Troy reformer on the line of free silver and fair elections arrived in the city yesterday and took a room at the Florence, where he received a number of friends MT Mcclellan looks very much like a statesman, and many of his friends and admirers deem him too good democrat to venture very far from the fold of the unterrfied.
 Congressional Contestant W. F.

There's nothing to prevent them using the forms of currency that are good for gold Moreover the gold with which they purport to help the government will be so much taken from domestic circulation

WRONG AND RIGHT EATING.
One Makes Us Weak the Other
 Makes Us Strong.

Makes Us Strong.
 Wrong eating makes us weak, be- cause it doesn't nourish ps, 1t polsons us, because it sets up poisonous fer mentation in our stomach and the pol sons go into our blood,
 Wrong eating is eating ,indigestible food, or eating more than our stomach is able to digest.
 Right eating is eating digestible food that the stomach Is able to digest; food that will nourish you when It Is digested.
 Right eating strengthens and invig- crates the body gives endurance, in- creases weight, and restores health.
 Wrong eating can be made right by taking the Shaker Digestive Cordial. This preparation, made by the Shakers from simple herbs. roots and wine, is delicious, refreshing, and strengthen ing to the body. It is a powerful aid to digestion.
 It does not act by strongly stimu- lating the stomach, but with its own digestive ferments acts on the food in the stomach, and reduces, instead of increasing, the work which the stom- ach has to do
 This is why it increases your strength, why it will cure you of all the bad effects of indigestion and of insufficient nourishment, and purities your system of all dangerous indigest- i've poisons. when nothing else has been found to relieve you. At druggists, Ten cents for a trial bottle.

Stock Market Drags Along Quietly and
 Featureless,


 Eeatureless
 New York, Aug. 15--The point was all around the street last night that stocks were on sale to-day on the bad bank statement. It was known that the statement could not be otherwise than unfavorable, and the traders thought they had q 'soft thing" in sell ing a little of the active stocks on the advance. London prices received be- fore the opening showed that the mar ket there had closed weak and gener- ally a half to three-quarters below our quotations. Altogether everything look ed about right for reaction.
 When the market opened, however, the room seemed to disregard the Lon don low prices, and the early dealings were quite generally at a substantial recovery in the international stocks There was great dullness, however. as the commission houses had little or nothing to do and the traders who were operating had banked more or less, on the bank statement, and were not in- clined to do much before it's appear ance. The result was that the market dragged along quietly for the early part of the session, with a certain amount of firfnness, but with no large business worth mentioning. Some stocks showed decided strength, as, for example, Manhattan, but there was 9 rather listless air over the whole pro- eeeding, and the room bore somewhat deserted appearance.
 The bank statement was issued about 1:30 and showed, as was expected, a l large decrease in all the principal l items. The reserve, which is the item l that interests most people, declined over $4,000,000, bringing the total down | to about s1o,000.000. Loans decreased rather less than s4,000,ooo and deposits shade less than $10o00,000, with the | loss in cash about $7000,000. Large amounts of currency have been shipped l out or lHlSl ClLy lO Une west dlll Suul1i. l and Canada has drawn quite a little gold during the week. The loss in cash | is easily accounted for by liquidation I in loans It was admitted that the l statement was a bad one, and fore l shadowed higher rates for money next week, but it seemed that the amount of people who wanted stock to cover shorts on the statement was a good deal larger than the amount of those who had stocks for sale. A raid was l made on the market immediately the statement was issued, but the covering l demand was too strong, and in the last I half hour of the session there was a vigorous rally, which left prices, in most cases, about the highest of the l day. with a decidedly strong tone. The l days operations proved very clearly l that liquidation has ceased. Practical 1 ly no one has any stock to sell just now and the stock that has been sold in the
 last day or two has been very largely short On the whole, the prospects are flattering for continuation of the up- ward movement next week.
