1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE , MONDAY , FEBRUARY 15. 1886 Doudna , the Victim of the Mad Dog'e ' Bite , Eoturna Without Treatment , A BLUNDER BY SOME ONE The " \Vlrto\v of Hawaii , tlio Missing- Lincoln Tailor , Sura for the Amount of Ills Ijlfo ItiHtir- anuo ttrlor Mention. IrnoM TIIH iir.r.'s LINCOLNnunr.AU.I Doudna , the Windsor house engineer , who was bitten by n mad dog last month and Bent to Paris to ho treated by Dr. I'astottr , has returned to Lincoln without having Been the great hydrophobia specialist. In fact Doudna never got any nearer Purls than Now York , being per suaded there by Dr. Hillings that he was not In danger and that the trip across the ocean would be a useless one , Hillings based bis opinion on the letter which Doudna carried to him from the Lincoln doctors , and which , in order to prevent Doiidna from brooding too much over his wounds , merely stated that ho hud been bitten by a mad dog , Icavhtz the reader to in fer that it was an ordinary ca o. The dog that bit Doudna was In an advanced stage of hydrupliobia , actually rabid , and the man was undoubtedly impregnated with the virus. Had Hillings known this he would have rushed him oft' to Pnris on the lirst steamer instead of allowing him to como back to Lincoln. Should Doudna now'exhibit symptoms of the terrible malady it will bo plain beyond question that some ono has blundered. To guard against any bad results being charged up against them , some of the medical gentlemen in terested in the case are now trying to hedge on. the proposition that only four per cent of tlio people bitten by dogs known to bo mad are ever taken down with rabies. As the virus may lie dormant in the htimui ! system fo fwelvo years , however , it is possible that D ulna and his friends may outline coi sid able mental sufl'cring in-trying to no con vinced that ho is not one of tlio four per cents. Tilt ; HAGAN MVSTP.UY. In March , 1884. James K. Ilugan , then a resident of Lincoln , and carrying an insurance of $2,000 on his life in the Northwestern Mutual company of Mil waukee , suddenly dropped out of sight , leaving no trail by which bis wile or relatives could track him. About two weeks afterward the "body of a floater strongly resembling the advertised do- scrip-turn of Ilngan , was taken from the Missouri at Omaha. In Janutry,188o : , some of IlagauX friends who had heard this story of the floater went to Omaha and had tlio remains resurrected , While not positive in their identification they were strongly of the belief that the body was that of Hagan , and so reported. The widow as the same time promptly recog nized a bunch of keys in the possession of the coroner us belonging to her missing husband. On this proof of ilagan's death was made out and forwarded to the in surance company , but payment of the policy was refused , and Mrs. Hagan now sues in tlio district court lo recover the $3,000 and interest from March 25 , 1831 , the date the floater was taken from the river. nmnp NKNTION.

GUAM ) WOUK ACCOMI'LISHBD. Tenth Aiinunt Ilcport or the Omaha City Mission. Tho'pjtst year lias been a successful otto for the mission , and ono in which much good has been accomplished in a quiet way. In the industrial or sewing school the girls have made marked progress in these arts which are essential to every good "housewife ; " and while their hands have been busy with the needle , their bright eyes ami quiet wit.s have not failed to catch many a valuable hint * of other things from their teachers. The greatest number of scholars present anyone ono Saturday was 177 , the least number , 'orty-sovcn ' , and the average attendance or the year , 131. The average attend- unco of teacher * sixteen , nnd the number jcr of garments finished by the hildrcn 750. The work of each girl jccontr * her own when properly finished. In the Sabbath school , too , tlio good work uts gone on. nud many a poor , neglected jhild has tiieru lirst heard of a bettor manner of living. During the year quite an improvement in the conduct and manners of some of the roughest of the children hoi been noticed. There is not n moro orderly Sabbath school in all Omaha , nor ono where there is butter or heartier singing. The tolal attendance for the year has been filt)0 ) , the lowest atlonduuco any ono Sabbath , 72 , and tlio highest 170. The average attendance was 1W. The children of the two Sunday schools were given a picnic during the summer , and a Christmas dinner during thi ) winter holidays. The relief department , under the sup ervision of Mrs J. 11. Jardino , has sup plied tlio more needy of the children with shoes and articles of clothing , and , in- d'-ed , quite often supplied the parents as well. well.Old clothing and articles of like nature can always bo used , and will bo invested in the best manner if sent to Mrs. Jar ilino , 100 North Tenth street. A now departure was made in the mission work last summer , and the re port of Dr. Spalding , who has the matter in charge , is as follows : "The trustees of the Omaha City Mission having given Dr. W. Clyde Spalding permission to open a free dispensary in their rooms for the treatment of tlio destilule sick , wo are happy to say that much good has been accomplished. Since the opening of the dispensary about 275 patients Iiavo been treated. Of this number many were sullering from very severe maladies , which , in many cases , not only prevented the patients from self-support , but also was the cause of much sullering in then families. The diseases treated were most ly of the nature of those caused by want privation and exposure. Of the nttmboi treated , the two sexes.were about cquallj divided , about one-third were children. The largo number treated during the first live months is certainly very cncourug ing. It shows the institution is boiuj. appreciated and patronized , although i is not advertised or as well known generally orally as It should be. No fee has been charged these who could not well aflbrc to pay , but these who could pay a few cents , the cost of tho'medicine , wcro requested quested- do so. Many thanks are ex tended to the trustees for the use of the rooms , also for eoal. Thanks are ex tended also lo these who by persona cll'orU have directed the unfortunate to the institution , where we have sought to allay their sullering and assist them ii tlio first stop of self-support by relieving their physical distress.

" OU ) NIOliHAUA DAYS. "I presume , " said the Bun man "that you have seen some rather ticklish times out hero , haven't ' you ? " "Yes , as I said , that brought back to my mind the old times wo used to have in this part of tlio state. But lot mo tell you , I never saw a town in all my travels that could hold a candle to old I-ort Nio- hrava , along from 1803 to about 1880. There was more cold blooded bhooting there than I over saw anywhere. I saw a saloon keeper boost a drunken man into the street ono day there , and when the follow lay down in tlio middle of tlio street tlio saloon keeper stood in the door of his saloon and began shooting at him. Some one said , 'You will kill that man yet , ' and the saloon keeper said , 'yes , d n him ho will never get up again. ' and with that ho shot him right through tlio neck and killed him. " "Did tlio citizens hang the saloonist ? " "Hang him ! " Nawl Never said any thing about it. But lot mo tell you of 11IK WILDEST NIGHT I ever saw , to bo attended by no loss of life. It was in the winter of ' 78,1 think. There was Joe Smith and Karl Witty , Limber Jim and Bill Curloy , Kid Wade and Donald McMillan and some more who were ready for anything , no matter how much danger there was attached to it. Thcsp fel lows all hovered about Fort Niobrara and it was shoot , shoot , front daylight every morning until midnight ovorv night. Then there were scorch of cow boys , who would gallop into town for tjjeir drinks. Than umuiii " 4iu tit : -i ; ho saloon kept by old man TowTo. take their whisky , shoot a hole through thereof roof , and ride away. Well , ono dny a commercial tourist came up there on the stage with his sample grips full of cigars and whisky. The boys got wind of him as soon as lie struck the town , and they nut up n whole night's circus for his es pecial benefit. They deliberately took possession of his sample cases , took out ALL T1IK WHISKY AND RIC1AKS and passed them around. He was left without as much as a smell of a sample. The hotel was in the same building with Towlu's saloon and was run by him. The boys , in a very careless and indifferent way , told the drummer , after his samples were all gone , that there was going to be a "border fight" there that night and it would pay him to stay and take it in. They expected the light to take place soon after supper , they said , as the two duelists wore in town and would surely meet in the saloon pretty early in the eve ning , and as they had sworn to kill each other on bight , a real picnic was expect ed. The traveling man began to grow AVHITi : AIIOUND TIIK GILLS , but as supper was announced ho sat down with four others at a largo table. I think that Kid Wade , Bill Cudey , Limber Jim and myself wore the four who sat down to supper with the traveling man. When we were about half through eating the butter gave out , and Kid Wade called for more. The old lady ( she usually waited on the table ) , was slow about get ting aroundand Wade drew his revolver and shot the nutter-dish oft' the table. The bullet smashed the dish to splinters , and glancing upward wont through the shingles , ami loft a hole that may bo seen there yet , and is called "tho butter-dish holo. " The drummer was almost scared out of his chair , but a roar of laughter went up from the boys and we continued to eat. Pretty soon Kid Wade called for more coll'eo. While ho was in the act of taking sugar from the bowl , Limber Jim PUU.EU ins RUN and shot the sugar bowl all to pieces , .scattering the sugar and bits of the bowl over the room , The traveling man and myself left the table ; wo begged to bo ox- ctfscd. Just at that moment , in camq a. cowboy nmncd Johnson , ono of the fel lows who was to fight the duel. Karl Witty , the other duelist , raised up from behind the bar with a great big double- barrelled horse-pistol , and the light be gan. Witty fired and ran , with Johnson after him , .veiling that ho would shoot him full of holes , Out they ran , through the kitchen and around tlio house , and the traveling man ran up staira and shut himself in a room , and wo could not get him to como out till wo promised to fur nish him with a fast team to get him out of town. Ho left in the night , and I guess never went back to the fort to sell goods , " Held to tlio Grand Jury.

They are here to conclude all prelimin aries for the construction of the now feeding barns which are soon lo bo erected at Ames , Neb. "I want youlo understand , " said Mr. Allen in conversation with a reporter for the Br.r. yesterday , "that wo don't claim that our feeding establishment is to bo the largest in tlfo state on a bigger scale than that at Uilmoro. Tlio Herald cor respondent in jestord.iy's issue stated that tlie plant would discount the Gilmore ranche , etc , , etc. As a matter of fact it will bo f mailer , and wo don't want to bo understood as making any such boasts. " The Standard Cattle company is com posed of Binton capitalists , Its ) rancltu lias recently boon located at Ames , seven miles west of Fremont , on the Union I'acltlo , and near the Lincoln extension of the Chicago & Noithwesteru , com- Drislng ono and a half miles of river front , and some 5.000 acres of first class hay lands , inclti'dlng ( hit teen improved farms , witli e.\tont > lvo groves , buildings , orchards , fences , ele. This is ono of the best locations for such u feeding riinoh in the state. Col. Babbitt and Air. Allen have visited hi "person or sent ex perts to all the extensive feeding houses far and near that they might know delinitoly the bo t plan of building and manner of feeding. The company will begin at once to creel the buildings the leediug barn , elevator ami cribs meal houses , ollleo. boarding houses , and residence for the local man ager. The plans and specifications for all those have been drawn by Mondols ohn A : Fisher , of this city , nnd thuir construction will require between ono and a half and two millions feet of lumber. The main feeding barn will have 11,000 stalls , whore each stocr stands alone , free and untied. This will bo one of the liuest and most complete building ot the kind in the United States. One of the buildings is to bo GS'2 feet long by 201 feet wide. The elevator will bo n10,000 bushel capacity , with cribs attached to hold JiO.OOO bushels of ear corn. The works , mill and cievatorill bo run by u GO- horse power engine , with two 10-horso power boilers. The residence will be complete in every roapuct , heated throughout with steam or hot air. All other uuildiiiga and improvements will be in harmony with these already men tioned. Cost of tlio entire plant \yill be about $75,000. , The buildings will be built by contractors. Seely , bon & Co. , wilt build the olovlitot * and cribs , with the engine house. The other buildings the same firm is figuring on and may secure the contract. The Union I'acilic will put tip side tracks into the woiks. This "plant" will give employment tea a largo number of laborers , and furnish the larmor-s with a first olass homo market for their crops. The company will feed ail the year around , ttirning out 8.000 to 10,000 beeves annually. These they bring from their western ranges and fatten at this point. They will feed dry meal and hay , but have tlio building so arranged that they can change a part or all thb slops if deemed best. When com pleted it will require from lliirty-h'vo to fifty men constantly employed to do the work in and about the fuelling building proper. These with the number neces sary to put up and haul from 8,000 to 10- 000 tons of hay each season will give em ployment to many laborers , The com- uuuu urill vtuinira frnm 310.000 to 500.000 jnsliols of grain each year lo do their Feeding , and from 8,000 to 10,000 , tons of A DIG SOIIEMR. A Company Formed to Uaisc mill Gnu Tomatoes by tlic Million. 'Gigantic business schemes are the ordor-of the day , " remarked a prominent business man. "The latest is certainly worthy of note , and it successful will bo a great benefit to the city and surrounding country. Several gentlemen have asso ciated themselves together and have been negotiating with the South Omaha Land Syndic ate for the lease of eighty acres of land on which they propose to build a cannery and rufso large quan tities of tomatoes At present I am not at liberty to mention names until it is definitely settled whether the scheme is earned out. Such an es tablishment would give employment to a largo number of men , and would bo a benefit to the city in more ways than one. Yes , it would be a direct benefit to the farmers and gardeners , a < ( it would create a demand and furnish a ready market for small fruits and tomatoes. " "Would there bo a market for the out put of so largo a cannery ? Most assuredly , " continued the speaker. "Why , Paxton & Gallagher alone han dle 12,000 cases of tomatoes in tlio course of the year. It may bo of interest to know that the tomato pack lias largely increased during the past few years. In 1880 the tomato pack of the United States amounted to l,5.5ir)0 ! ) cases of three pound cans , two dozen in a case. In 1883 it reached the sum of 2IM3G70 cases , but in 1885 the early frost cut short the pack , which only reached 1,4H,00(1 ! ( cases. Tlio largo out put of the canneries had the effect of re ducing prices , which in turn stimulated the consumption. The short pack of 1885 is putting prices up , and it is feared that the market will bo entirely bare before the now pack comes in. Eastern packers are about sold out and the stocks remain ing in the hands of eastern wholesale dealers is not more than ono-lhird of the amount hold this time lust year. " "You can see from this that there is is every reason for Ijulloving that such a scheme as the one now on loot would be a great success. I will tell you more about it when the business is fully settled and arrangements completed. " A I urfiO Kor tlio Nr.w YOIIK , Fob. 14. 1'atilck S.

Mr. Drew was squeezed one day by operators in Northwest stock , and ho hud down a big pile of money in los-.es. Not unnaturally Mr. Drew felt grieved , while other people were correspond ingly high-spirited and happy. It was a great thing to catch the wily deacon nap- pint * , ami a hundred jokes went the rounds in celebration of his upsetting. Some of those biU of humor fell upon Unelo Daniel's own ears , but he didn't seem to pay much heed to commenUtliat made all the rest of Wall street laugh hilariously. Some young men old enough to know better even went so far as to ac cost him personally and laugh in his face.

Sir. Drew went out. The eager crowd gathered up the white scrap , and this in the Wall street king's own un mistakable handwriting was what It said : "Htiy me all thu Oshkosh jou can at any priceon can got it below par.

Joe's stook of paper for the old mill was reduced to afewyaids , which ho was running back and forth through the machine , hoping that the next tram would bring him a supply. Now Joe was also the possessor ot a pet unlolopc , which shared the onico with him and took a lively interest in overvtliing that con cerned Joe. Ono day "Omaha" called , and was sending an order for it Intin soon duo. The old register was grinding out the paper witli reasonable rejru- latily.
