HUMAN TYPES AND TINTYPES Fads and Freaks and Fakirs Oonspicuons at the Fair, QUAINT SPECIMENS PICTURED ON TIN Thriving Business of an Artist In a Patrol Box—Ribboned Thoroughbreds in the Stock Show--Omaha Visitors At the Exposition. Cuiaco, Sept. 2.—(Special to Tne Ber.)— Now, then, fold your hauds on your lap, fix Yyour eyes on this hole in the tent, look pleas- antand keep quiet, that's it, now The speaker was a small man in a checkered shirt, collarless, with sieeves rolled up and fingers bespattered with black and yellow chemicals. He carried caround with him an odor jwhich was not exactly that of Araby the blest. He was the tintype man at the fair. He has a littie square tent, in front of which are two large frames filled with artistic samples of his work. A large banner announces that this is the original and only, the official Co lumbian tintype gallery, and that the price is four for 25 cents, The front of the tent is utilized for a reception room. It is about four by six feet. A weak mirror, which gives ono the appearance of suffering from St. Vitis dance or “blind staggers” is fastened to the center polo, from which also dangle a comb and brush. The dark room is no larger than a patrol box and the apart- ment in the rear holds a three-legged camera, some adjustible headrests and the “views.” These latter are masterpieces in their way—one seldom sees anything like them. One of these “‘sceneries’—that is the name given them by the majority of his patrons—is supposed to be a forest, Another is a bold daub representing a grand siair- way, The third is a picture of the Admini: tration building—at least, that's what the tintype man said. Most of the exposition visitors who sit for tintypes prafer an Ad- ministration building background. Now, at cents sitting the tintype man must hurry things in order to muke a fortune befo the close of the fair, conscquently he squan- ders but httlo time in posing his patron If it is one person, he 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 mome s out the vlate and starts for the dark room at a Nuncy Hanks t. If two persons to0 be taken, one must sit down while the other stunds behind with the right hand grace- fully and sort of accidentally resting on the shoulder of the first. The artist calls this the bride und groom attitude, Impresslons and Expressions. A family of six plain_ but bonest peoplo waited as solemnly as if they were attend- ing funeral services or a surgical operation. They filed mournfully into the back of the tent. Atsight of the camera the younger boy sct up & howl that could have been heard at the Esquimaux village. His ma said he wouldn’t “take a purty picture with that expression 0ato his face” und the tin- typo man evidently agreed with her. The boy was carried back to the reception room and the excrcises continued with but five participants. Two broad, healthy gir]s in blue dresses primped and fussed before the mirror. One rubbing her nose with her handkerchief in a vain effort to dim the luster of that many o man would have given a dime for on his boots down town, and which, in the absence of the powder box, became more brilliant with overy rub. The other wus trying to arrange her bangs a la Bernharat, or something, with some soap suds & hair brush, “Come, ladies, I c duy;Tam ready for you to sit,” said the artist, poking his head through tne flap. With a last look in the mirror the two cirls went giggling into the gallery and were shoved before the camera. A little later two elderly men entered. One walked up to the artist ind said: “This man lives in Californy and he is my brother. 1live in Obio. Tain't scen him before for nizh unto thirty year and the Lord only knows when I will'see him again. We want our plctures in & group. Some for wy folics and some for his.” As they passed out' two dapper, straw-hatted young men and two tailor-made young women entered. They evidented considered the tintype adventure a5 a “lark,” for the young women frequently urgled “How awfuily funny; did you ever ear of such a thing?” and the young men were s0 nice and patronizing to the tintype man. “Chus thoy come and go, hundreds, yea thousands of them. In the meantime the artist is raking ina_goodly number of de- preciated silver and other dollars even at 25 cents. In the Stock Show, A visit to tho stock pavilion isa downright Dblessing to people who fear cows, us their doubts and feur: would vanish like money in Midway plaisunce. After a brief study of the bovine exhibit the critical visitor wiil be enabled to return to the s make the most sweeping landscapes, which everybody knows run to cows. A lundscape may be fairly well exe- cuted in other respects,but without its cows, either before, during, or after milking, it must ever (ns}vlre distrust as to the artist's sincerity, After viewing the fine, fat models in the exhibit a novice w! of the consumptive, mea could take a singlo premium it she wus placed in . competition. There is indeed much valuable information 0 be guined from these beribboned vietors that bear themselves with mild humility, and the unberibboned competito: that 010 enyy or malice. But aside from all these considerations they should ve seen, because such royal specimens of horses, cnt. tle and blooded stock have seldom been sta- bled under the same roof.

One hundred Shetiand ponies led the parade, Then came the Rus- slan, German and French coach horses, French trotters, Cleveland bays and bob: talled backneys.

They proudly carried the blue and red ribbons of honor as if they were per- fectly couscious of their superiority over ordivary, plebeian horso flesh. The mules meekly trailed along behind.

While riding on horseback along a lonely Jersey road about ten miles buck of Lake Hopatcong one day last week, says a writer in the New York Herald, I approached a small hamlet of somo halfl dozen houses and a general store. I was tired, hungry and thirsty, and de- termined to apply at the store for some- thing in the way of refreshment. - I stopped my horse, dismounted and, ascending the steps leading to the store, found the door locked. Peering in through a window, nowever, [ saw the proprietor evidently stretched out on some sacks of flour fast asleep. “Hey, there!” 1 shouted, pounding and kicking at the door. There was a sound of shuflling feet and soon the door was swung slowly open. An apparition in jean trousers tucked into his boots, hickory shirt and a battered straw hat appeared in the doorway and wanted to know who was “‘makin’ all that air rum- pus, anyhow.” * ““Are you the proprietor?” I asked. be,” he replied. “Well,” said I, *“do you keep anything to eat or drink in your place?™ The apparition ‘eyed ma closely, as if he suspected me of having sinistor de- signs 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 we gets to driak round these par ‘cept, of course, a little hard cider once in & while, but it's most t0o early for that. Something to eat? Well, I don’t keep much on hand that you could eat, barrin’ a side o’ bacon er a hunk o' salt codfish, but—" with sud- den inspiration, *'I've got some pepper- mint candy you might like to try. “Nover mind that,” I snid. **Do you keep cigars?” “Of course I do,” he answered, *‘and fine ones, too. How many'll you have?" “Oh, a couple,” I said carelessly, se- lecting that number from a box he offered me. ‘“Whut are these?” ““Those,” said the apparition, swelling with pride, “ave the very best twofers you can buy for miles around,” “Twofers?” [ repeated, as 1 1it one of them and tried in vain to 1 e it draw, “Yes, twofors—two for b cents, You see, I used to keop onefers, but the boys around here thought they were too ox- pensive, 50 [—" *That will do,” T said somewhat tes- tily, tossing a dime on the counter as I turned o leave the place, = It does beat old Sam Patch, the airs of some of thew eity folks,” I heard him mutter as I mounted my horse and rode off. On looking back saw him close the door, undoubtedly to resume his in- terrupted najp. There's one merchant, at least, I thought, who does not allow the present business depression to worey him much, Resenting un Insulr, A few evenings since the visitors to one of the phonographic establishments in Atluntic City were treated to a gon- uine comedy, siys the Philadelphia Call, The place was about half fuil of people, who were engaged in listening to the machines talk, when in wandered an Irishman who had e dently just reached this side of the ocean. He watched the listeners for awhile and then walked up to one of the glass top cases and inquired of one of the by- standers what was going on. The gen- tleman to whom the question was divected saw & chance for a little fun, and as he was listen- ing toa repetition of one of Mic mel Casey's famous recitations he handed the newcomer tho receiver with instrue- tions to hold it to his ears. The latter did as he was told. Seeell, W. P. | The first words that he heard were: “You're a liar, Casey!” The son of Evin threw down the ceup, and jumping to the middle of the floor, yelléd: “'Show me the man on the other eud of that machine that called me a liar," and in a second he was doing a war dance around the establishment, threat- ening 10 whip everybody and' destroy everything in the plac The last seen of him an officer had him in tow, and he v.as explaining how “'a man in 8 glass case had insulted him.” IT WILL BE A GREAT RACE A | Exciting Times Promised When the Ohero- kee Strip is Opened.

Arkaxsas Crry, Kan,, Sept. 2.—[Special to Tie Bee.|—When the carbines of the guard- ing cavalrymen on the Cherokee Strip crash *'Go,"" at high noon on September 16, the greatest horse race the country has ever knownwill be run. Fully fifty thousand horses of all degrees, from the bucking,squeal- ing broncho to the bang-tailed Kentucky runner, will be enterea. The thousands of ‘“‘boomers" now along the borders are giving careful attention to their horses and every one of them will be fit to run for its owner’s life. to say nothing of a prairie claim, At the boome: camps along'the Walnutand Arkansas rivers nothing but horse is talked, and thero is more jockeying done than at Guttenburg. Inthe past two wecks over 500 bronchos from Texas have been sold at auction on the public streets, and every stablo in town 18 & horse market. One horseshoer told me that he had shod in one day 112 horses. He has large shov and is tinding hard work to find blacksmiths. He said that the horses’ feet were being taken as good care of as it they were going to run for a Derby stake, Light steel shoes are going on most of them. One of the features of the moment is the nightly training of the horses on the roads in and about the town, The Nebraska Indians, Along with ull the interest that the open- ing of the Cherokee Strip has excited, [ wonder if the people of Nebraska ever give n thought of their Indians, the Otoes. In- cidental with the opening of the Strip the country new inhabited by the Otoes comes in for some share of interest, us it abuts upon and adjoins some of the best of the new country. The Otoes themselves are almost forgotten, as there are not many of them left and they are not rich and powerful like the Osuges and Cheroke When the Otoes left their agency on the Blue vriver in Gage county, never to return, th were piloted to their new home "in the Indian “Territory by their agent and friend, Major L. . Woodin, known to the Indians ‘as Ne- ha-bus-ka (father with the big stomach.) Major Woodin is now a resident of Arkan- sas City, where he has lived ever since he left the Otoes on their new home in Indian Territory. ‘The major, who somewhat re- semoles Buffalo Bill shorn of his flowing locks, knows tho Indians thoroughly nnd speaks nearly all of the Indian_dialects, be- sides the dialects of the Maorss and other Australian tribes. In July, 1850, he was ap- pointed agent for the Otoes by Carl Schurz and approved by President Hayes. The government wus at that tune taking steps to remove the Otoes t the south, #s they wanted to_find new hunting grounds and the proximity of ation and bar soap did not agree with their ideas of social ethics. The intention was to remove them in charge of the troops, which would have been an_expensive under: taking, and Major Woodin recommended that he be allowed to remove them himsnlf i bis own way. This was approved of, and in November, 1881, the removal of 500 In- dians and 400 head of cattle, together with wagon train a mile long, was successfully carried out. For twenty-three days tho caravan wound its way slowly across Kan- sas, hitching up at 8 o’clock every morning and unhooking at 4 p. m. for supper and a mghv's rest. Indians One 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, and they stole away south to find 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 he was moved south with the others. The Uniied Aates troops tried to bead off the wily old savage, but he circomvented them aad reached the banks of the North Canadian river in Indian Territor, He did not find mich game there, however, and the thoughts of the = luscious freshly killed agency stecrs finully drove him into the new Otoe reservation. Major Woodin says he was a magnificent specimen of manhood and a thorough savage. He reminded oue of the J. Fennimore Cooper Indian of romunce. He was over six feet in height, magnificently provortioned and had all the savage's love of personal adornment. When hs got back to the rerervation he was deposed from his chieftaincy and, drawing himself up to his full height, he thundered: “You caunot depose me. God made me big chief, and big chief am,” On'she “big teail,” 4s the Indians still call their journey from Nebraska, the major had a full staff of assistants, inclding a clerk and surgeon. The trip vas made without accident, but many amusing incidents occurred. The Indians, whenever they came to a favorable place, wanted to go lto camp and icad theie old wild life, They could not withstand the temptation of temporary freedom. The chiefs at that time : Hurra-Garra, Standing Ante- lope; Muncha-Huncha, Big Bear, who died last week on the reservation at a great age zok-kuy, Ground Hog; Thing-u-bus: Ar-k and Wih-hon-nea-yea. Nearly all of theso are dead_and their places have been taken by young bucks, who weur red handkerchiofs about their necks, smoke cigurettes and know a cocktail from a whisiy sour, Only & Few ot Them Left, Their reservation is not of enough impor- tance to have a separate agent, so thoy are under one ugent with the Poncas’ and Pawnees, with the agency near Ponca, on the Sunta Fe railroad. ‘The old Pawnee and Kickapoo Indian trail leads through these reservations north and south and was for many veurs the highway into the Territory and Texas, [ visited the reservation re- cently to bo able to tell the people of Ne. braska how the former proprietors of their fair state were getting along. There are only ubout 80 of them left and they are eradually becoming extinct. Soon their lands will be given to them in severalty and the white settler will take what is left and try to make a living off from itand the Otoes will be pushed one step nearer the *jumping off place.” Their land 15 not particularly £00d except in the Arkunsas river bottoms. and they make very little use of it except to cut hay for their horses winter use. On the bottoms there are a few little “squaw patohes” where the women raisea fow po tatoes and melons, The Otoes are, however, great horsemen and the young men devote their time to raising and breaking “cayuses,” or typical little Indian horses, that ave good nothing but Indians, The Otoes are peaceable and tractable be- cause they ave too lazy to be anything el and their former greatness, if they ever possessed any. went out with such chiefs as Medicine Horse and Harra-Garra, The only really powerful tribes of Indians left 1n this southern country are the Osages and Cherokees, who both rich and pos- sessed of sufticient wisdom to hang on to what they have. The Otes are not poor, but they have not the strength of numbers nor the'leaders to make them conspicuous. SCHEROKEE BILL." e The guaranteed cure for all headache is Bromo-Seltzer. Trial bottle 10¢. P — Taught to Swim, The seeming strange suggestion is made and strongly pressed in England that the men who man the navy should be taught how to swim. Ordinary sailor: ave instructed and expected to” qualify in swimming, but the mavines, firemen and engineers arve not, and it isa fact that a large portion of the latter large body of men who serve on war ships can- notswim, It is said that many more men would have been saved from the Victoria but for this fact; also that wany sailors who are good swimmers were undoubtedly dragged down by the men who were not. The matter has been taken up in Pavliament, and it is probable that swimming will be insisted SE 1893, ‘EMBER 4, —_— on as part of th serving aboard s — OMAHA LIVE,§TOCK MARKETS, Incrensed Interest |l Recolpts the 3 Foature of tHe Week Just Clo ¢ SATURDAY, Sept 2.7 There has been 8, very gratifying increase in receipts of all kigds this week, even over the liberal run of the week previous.

Thencrease in sheep receipts at Omaha was 60.861, while at Chicago it was 534,000 and at Kansas City 96,300, Prices Continue to Advance. Somuch for the matter of receipts. In the matter of prices there is ample cause for congratulation from the fact that values have notonly held their own during the past week, but considering the very liberal offerings there has been a satisfactory im- provement. But little change has been noted in cattle all week. but that change has been in the right direction. Notwith- standing the continued apathy of speculative shippers and exporters, the demand from local slaughterers alons has been sufficientl; vigorous to absorb all desirable offerings readily and anything at all useful in the beef cattle line sold 10¢ to loc betier at the close than at the opening of the week, The same has been true of butchers' stock and canners. While there have been fairly liberal offerings of both westerns and Texans the quality has not been such as to fairly test the market. Prices, however, have advanced about a dime on this class of stock and the demand improved sharply toward the close of the weelk, ‘The market today was rather quiet. Less than LeM0 cattle were received, and of these not over 1,000 were offered for sale, as about. 500 southern cattle were shipped direct jo slaughterers. Canditions 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 here, Choice 1,250 to 1,630-1b beeves brought $4.50 and $4.75, while $ to $.25 bought most of the fair to good cornfed cattle, Common half fat and grassy stock sold down around £3.60 and §.75. The western and southern cattlo were common and moved slowly. It was ate in the day before the pens wero cleared, The cow market vas voleranly active and u shade firmer. Offerings were limited and the demand was wood. r to good fat cows and heifers sold at from $2 to $2.50, with common and ¢anning grades at from $1.25 t0$1.90. Common large to choice veal calves sold in about the usual notches from $2.20 to 84.50. Thers were very few bulls on saleand livtle demand for what few were here. At 8L75 .there was mno noticeable change in the market cither one way or the other. ™ | After a fairly active trade in stockers and feeders all week the. market today lacked both life and swrength. Low prices and easier mouey conditions brought lots of country buyers early.in the week, but now that prices are up 15¢ to 25¢ compared with last week the rush to buy is not so great. There was very little weakening in values, however, and §2.40 to 83.10 bought most of the aecent stock. Good to choice feeders are quotuble at from 275 to $3.25. fair to good at from §2.60 to £2.75, and common stuff at from $2 to §2.60. Great Actlvity in Hogs, The feature of the hog market the past week has been its activity and strength in the face of exceptionally heavy reccipts. With nearly 40,000 hogs on sule, as against 17,000 a year ago, this week the trade has been as hively as uny one could wish and prices have advanced a big 10ccompired with last week’s strong close. This increase in hog receipts has been general throughout the west, the packing at all points for the weel being about 230,000, against 210,000 week and 195,000 the corresponding woek ust year. The decrease in- the seasou's packing since March 1 has been 1,110,000 hogs and it is this fact, together with the light “stocks” in packers’ hands, that holds prices up at prescut in spite of the increased re- ceipts. Light hogs are still comparatively scarce, and with a continued active demand both from local and eastern butchers for them, they uare seliing at a 10c to 1c_premium over heavies, ‘I'he preponderance of heavy hogs at present is shown by the following “table, giving tho average weight of the hogs by months for the pust six years: Augisi Septomber. wus nota great different from that of Friday. prices wore a shade weaker, but with com. petition from both local and outside buyer trade was lively and the bulk of the traa- ing was on the basis of fully steady prices, while toward the close the markst was very strong on th better reports from the Chicago hog and provision murkets, Good to prim ht and butcherweight hogs sold at from up o £.45 largely at £5.30 and 85,85, Heavy und mixed pucking grades sold at from $5.15 up to &5.80 very lurgely at §.20 and #.25. .

The bank statement of August 26, showed that, upon the week's average, the reserves of the banks remained £0,750,000 below the legal minimum; but the actual deficiency, at the ena of the weok, was probably not over $4,000,000. Since the date of that statement, about §11,000,000 of gold has beeu received from Europe, the major portion of which has gone into the banks; and the receipts of money from the interior have probably sufiiced to offset the shipments thither, while the sub-treasury has continued to be debtor at tho clearing house. Thus whatever may be the showing of today's statement based upon averages, there can_be little question that the banks hold, at the end of the woek, an amount of lawful money in_cxcess of the legal reserve requirements, Ihis has natur- ally produced a more confident feeling among the bauks, and though they are not yet ma- terially extending their loans or discounts uor retiring certiticates, yet thoy are gotting affairs into form for giving the public the benefit of their improved condition at an early day, Everywhere, the interior banks are getting into better shape. Many of those that have suspended ave resuming business, and bank drawings upon New York have fallen to nominal dimensions, Smail Depositors More Confident. *“Tho near-by country banks are appearing again as buyers of mercantile paper, which 18 4 significant expression of returning con- fidence among a very cautious class of lenders. The savings banks have informaliy considered tho proprioty of offoring to pro- pay deposits the withdrawal of which has been notified, but seem to have preferred to wait until the expiration of the thirty days notifications. The thirty-duy period terii- nated this week, the result being that only 10 per cent of that class of depositors with- drew their movey. The notitications for withdrawal at ~the end of sixty and ninety days are being fast canceled. ll. is thus clear that it would be quite safe for the savings banks to myice the sugeested offer of prepayment, and that fact suggests a probability that these institutions may soon begin to return more or less of their cash funds to the custody of the reg. ulur banks. The dealings in currency have virtually ceasea and the premium upon it has disappeared, which is evidence on the one hand of the cessation of hoarding and on the other of freer aisbursements in money at the banks. The foregoing facts afford the best possible evidence of the return of the monetary and banking affairs to an ap- proximately normal condition. Effect ot Lust Monday's Vote. “The great event of the week, and the one which more th Ise h: tributed to his important recovery, has been the overwheliming vote of the house of representatives against any increase in_our silver currency under the Sherman law. That 15 an immiense gain toward future con- fidence. It means that, under no circum- stances, will this country tolerate any loose experimenting with this form of money, but will insist upon it as a fixed policy that gold shall be 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 ameng for- eign holders of our securities which have sent home probubly 150,000,000 of them sinco 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 be inferrea from the fact that, although some$15,000,000 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 th specie-importing point, 1t is to be presumed that in Europe, as well as at;home, there is among cautious investors a disvosition to de- fer buying until the solution of the silver question is placed beyond all question by the vote of the senate. 1t is therefore to be ex- pected that further purchuses on foreign account will be forhcoming when the senate has voted. Bulls In Contr “This common advance out of the ‘slough of despond’ has revolutionized the tone of feel- ing in Wall street. 'L'he first effect was a rush to cover ‘short’ sales, and the next a re- turn to the stroetof aclass with ample means of taking in bargains. It has been in the best sense o week for the ‘bulls,’ who npw are once more in control of the market. But for the occurrence of two gre cyclones within a few duys, with vast destruction of property and the interruption of graphic communication with all parts of the country, the effect would have been still more marked § ivhas resulted, however, in u gencral ad. vance of several points in prices, ““The market has now reached a point at which it may be expected to be sustained by a steady and continuous improvement in the conditions that influence values. As conti- dence spreads through business our inte runted industries will resume work, de pleted stocks of merchandise will be replen- ished, and the catching up of threo months of lost trade will cause reviving spurt of acti This commercial recovery will show its results in increased earnings of the railroads, and the whole country will return and sure process, if not toa activity—which is too ‘muci to ex- pect so soon after such utter prostration— yet to a moderate and conservative mo: ent.
