HE'S GONE.
'Keyser the Great" Shook the Dus.
 of Pine Bluff from His Feet.

Tuesday morning during the wee sma' hours w. H. Keyser, the man who was going to do so much and who had so much done up to o'clock Monday afternoon, when he was to have made good his franchise by de posting a certified check or a bond for $5,000, left the city on a north bound Cotton Belt train for Chicago. posed-to-be capitalists who came to this city Monday morning and who, 1t was thought, had the money ready for the great promoter.
 Keyscr has gone. The City Coun cil of this city is some the wiser ard it is needless to say that the Alder men will be a whit more careful in the future in granting franchises for an electric street rallway and light plant. The motto of the Councilmen in the future should be Put Up or Shut Up.'
 We understand that MT. Keyser will return here in about week and again ask for the franchise To a number of friends, just before his de parture Tuesday morning, MT. Key ser told his little tale of woe. He says he was "knocked' at every turn. It is stated that MT. Keyser broke down and cried.

A DOG BEGs FOR POISON.
Half Pound of Deadly Powder
Taken by n Canine.

NEW YORK. April THAT a little
nongrel dog can stand more poison than
an elephant was demonstrated fully in
Hoboleen yesterday. Two children were
bitten by dog. and Recorder Stanton
ordered that it be shot Detective Fenton
took the animal into a back room, and
was about to shoot it when Charles
Whittemore, an agent for the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
suggested what he said would be a more
humane way of killing it. He produced
a box, containing a white powder, two
ounces of which, he said, had been suffi-
cient to kill the elephant Tip in Central
Park.
Fenton agreed TO use the powder in
stead of his revolver. and a small dose
was given to the dog. 1t smacked it's
chops approvingly and stood on its hind
legs and begged for more. At another
dose it seemed delighted and grateful
jumping in friendly fashion on the detec-
tive and the Society for Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals man.
AS the poison seemed failure Fenton
was about to shoot the dog, but White
more begged him TO wait awhile, say
ing that the poison would work all right
If given time. Fenton not only waited
bat gave the dog more of the powder
until ii had eaten about half q pound
but the more it got the better pleased it
seemed to be After waiting about an
hour the detective carried out the verdict
of the court with a shot from his reVol-
yer.

NEW YORK. April THE stock mar
ket this week will have the attention of
the entire business wCrld. The opening
OF business tomorrow, after the three
days holiday, viii be watched with an
eagerncss almost unprecedented. What
the week is to develop no one on the
outside has any right TO predict, except
that il is certain to be "A tremendous one.
with big fluctuations in prices, big trans
fers of stock and excitement the most
intense no matter how the prices tend.
The market of the week past was
one Of intense interest to all speculative
minds and cannot fail TO open new trains
of thought among those who bother
themselves enough to think about the
results which certain causes precipltaie
in the speculative community. During
the four business days of last week the
traffic in shares was enormous, each day
being close up to record days, and far
surpassing DAYS of the elimination OF
any previous bullish campaign. The aB-
gregate for the four days was '.S7l,2v9
shares The end of this extraordinary
week found quotations a little below the
highest of the period and q good able
market prepared to absorb almost any
amount of shares at slight concession.
There were what seemed to be immense
reaiizations on each day, the effect OF
which was that the general market was
as a rule droopy and depressed in the
afternoon hours.
Spectators know that the public in
variably appears in the morning in the
work Of the commission houses. Even
ing thought and gossip with acquaint-
ances induce most of the orders coming
from outsiders. which are sent to brokers
at the opening. because the people who
give such orders have their own business
TO attend to until late in the afternoon.
The professionals and semi-professionals
are OF course. in evidence all the time,
and therefore the business OF the morn
ing hours is apt to indicate the current
of the public mind in its operations The
public is nearly always wrong The in
ference drawn from these facts by most
careful students of the market Is that the
public is now buying stocks blindlY and
foolishly at the tOa and that the insiders
are Hquidating. carefully but neveTthe-
less heavily. and as rapidly as possible.
The market is immensely broad, how
ever. and the Morgan clique is more
powerful than any that ever operated
before. and this fact makes ii utterly out
eVitable break viii come. Short selling
is advised against. but the taking OF
profits Is urged strongly.
