BADGE OF SCHOLARSHIP.
Probably the Only one of the Kind
Possessed by an Indian.

D. w. G. Duncan, Of this city,
is perhaps the cnly Indian by
blood on the American continent
that has been admitted TO what
the colleges designate as the Phi
Beta Kappa society. Fifty of the
leading colleges of the United
States many years ago organized
this society, and its national coun-
Gil is composed Of the fifty college
chapters and meets triennially.
The highest third of each gradu-
ating class Of all these colleges are
admitted to the society and given
the badge Of scholarship. Mr..
Duncan graduated from Dartmouth
college in 1861 and was fortunate
enough to have the Phi Beta Kap-
pa badge pinned upon the lapel OF
his coat at the close Of the grad
uation exercises of his class.

A Great Woman Journalist.

Mrs. Crawford, the journalist,
who during the last thirty years
has resided in Paris and acted as
special correspondent to several
leading papers, is a woman of
dauntless energy. A story is told
of her on the occasion Of ball
given by Marshal MacMahon
which is worth recording. 1t had
been arranged that Mrs. Crawford
should telegraph to a certain pa
per description Of the dresses
worn, but when the time for her
to leave the ball arrived thun.
derstorm and sud Zen downpour
of rain made it impossible for her
to secure a carriage. She could
not afford to be hindered and
therefore she ran off in her even
ing dress to the telegraph office, a
quarter Of a mile distant. She ar
rived drenched to the skin. with
the soles of her satin slippers
broken away, but triumphant in
being able to dispatch her mes

Did All His Mixing AT Home.

A political opponent who was
once asked how and why it was
that Zeb Vance could mix so cas-
lily with all kinds of voters, Dem
ocrats and Republicans, white
men and colored men, city folks
and country folks, Baptists and
Methodists, old men and young
men, rich and poor, Union and
Confederate, responded rather
tersely that the reason why Zeb
Vance was able to mix 20 well
was that all his mixing was done
in North Carolina.

A good many people are asking
whether the agreement as it now
stands, with the amendments
made by the national council, is
still to be considered as the Dawes
Cherokee treaty made last winter.
We don't know what view con-
gress will take of the matter but
the Dawes commission has had
nothing whatever to do with the
amendments-has not even had
the opportunity Of agreeing or dis
agreeing with the document as it
now stands. Congress will doubt
less consider the agreement and
amend it in whatever way it may
deem expedient, but it has cer-
tainly ceased to be the Dawes
Cherokee treaty.

FAITHFUL CHURCH CLERK.
Held the Place For Twenty-Six Years
Resigned Last Week.

As an example of fidelity in
church work the following is re-
lated: About thirty years ago,
Charles Journeycake, chief of the
Delawares, and Baptist mission
ary as well, built church at what
is now Alluwe. His daughter
Mrs. Henry Armstrong, was elect
ed clerk of the little band of Chris
tian workers 26 years ago, and has
held the place without intermis-
sion until last week when she re-
signed to move to Nowata, and the
clerkship mantle fell upon her
niece, Miss Roberta Campbell, the
accomplished daughter of ]. E.
Campbell the merchant and stock
man of Alluwe.

The council at Tahlequah has
passed bill authorizing the Sec
retary of the interior TO collect the

Council in its wisdom might now
authorize President Mckinley to
sign it and it would thus become

Now that the national council
has undertaken the task of making
a good character for Gus Ivey, its
possibilities in that line are un-
limited. The parties who looted
the treasury of 100000 in the

a chance now.

burned. The amount of damage
has not been learned, though it
must have been considerable, as

Another bad Case.

For several days there has been
talk of smallpox being in Eufaula.
The Muskogee Times has seen fit
to state as a fact that of which local
physicians are in doubt. There
are three OF four cases of "some-
thing in Eufaula which some OF
the doctors say is "smallpox, }"
other doctors "don't know" still
others at least say it is mild
form of smallpox. But whatever
it is the city authorities have taken
and are still taking all the precau-
tion spossibleto prevent its spread.
The cases aIe isolated and the
disease is not spreading. T h
physicians who do call it smallpox
pronounce it very mild form and
not one serious case has yet de-
veloped. -Eufaula Journal.

of September 1899, on the floor Of the New

the rules of this exchange having been

null and void
1t was further resolved that the future
business be suspended until tomorrow, Sat
urday morning, the S0th Instant. This mes
with general approval. The Future Brok-
ers association was then called in session
and they decided that business be suspended
until next Monday morning. The general
supposition is that the cables were tapped
outside of New York, as the quotations re-
ceived were repeatedly confirmed by the
New York office. The fake advance re-
corded on the boards of our exchange
which has been photographed, as well as
the board In our office, would have shown
a greater advance had not the chalk marks
covered it up. as the tiekefs, when we last
locked on them scored gain of vi sixty
fourths. equal to about SIS per bale. That
fellow who pulled the wire would make a
"crackeriack' bull but he don't under
stand the business. 1t is said that tho
bucket shops throughout the country paid

cover The excitement attending the Dewey

nished the opportunity for this piece of ras-
oality, the like of which has never been
equalled. Copy of resolution by Future

By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson.
New Orleans, September 29-Ths was
the most eventfu day in the history of
our cotton market First cables from
Liverpool showed that market 4-64 lower
for futures and 1882 down spots. This
position was augmented by an additional
decline of 2h64. The weakness on the other
side of the water was supposed to be due
to realizing and the critical condition in
South Africa, where it is expected the war
will soon begin. Local brokers were get
ting ready for a sharp break in prices here
at the opening of our market, but to the
surprise of all specials began to improve
RAPIDLY and when our market started
Liverpool had not only recovered all OF
the early loss. but was six higher than last
night On this basis January opened at
6.S2, or 90 points higher than last nights
close. The next trade was made at 6.S,.
All this time specials came higher and
higher and the next five minutes saw the
first month of the year a 6.9T. AT this time
SUSPICION was aroused, cables coming 2-64
and 3-64 up at clip, but still trading con-
tinued. January finally reaching seven
cents. at which figure we placed large
blocks with big bear houses and they SEEM
ed glad to take 1t off our hands. At this
i,rlcturo Liverpool was quoted 40 higher
than last night. which is equivalent to 100
American points, and fearing that the adj
vance might be correct the bears were still
reaching for the staple at 7.12 for January,
at which point the market was when bust
ness was suspended. Private cables by re-
quest quoted the English market 2-64 lower
than last night. This was made known to
the president of our exchange, who mount
ed the rostrum and made known the char
acter of private advices. There was a mo-
