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.

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

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

BOSTON , Feb. 14. The nrca nt Iloxbury
flooded by the overflow of Stony brook Is
considerably increasing. The wnter has
risen over n fpot slnco jesteidny , and
through somestieets the current rustics nt
the rate of ten miles an hour. Two square
miles of the city Is now under water fiom
two to eight feet. The section covered Is
nearly oblong hi slmpe , and Is bounded by
Norfolk street on tlfo southwest , Northamp
ton on tlio nortlreast , Sliawmut on the south
east , mid the Boston vt Providence rnllootul
on the northwest. The soiitcc of the Hood Is
the uur-Ulnir of the. comities of Stony brook
near Noifolk hill. From that point the
flood has inpldly urogtcssed towards the
center of the city proper. It has passed Ar
nold street , the old itoxbtiiy foundry nud
has leached Noithamiiton street , Celhus ,
nud In some Instances , first floors of neatly
n thousand houses aio Hooded. In the
low sections houses nie almiTst entirely
submeiged. Over 1,500 families are mole or
less atlectcd , nud a conservative estimate of
the loss to buildings and stnek Is SffiM.OJJ.
The territoiy dr.ilncil by Stony brook
comprises many squaio miles In Jamaica
Pl.iius ami Itoxbuiy , nud the snow nnd sur
face water on this section must n't ' bo
added to the flood. At ono point near Krauk-
lln paik thcio Is a lot of lllly ncios
covered with wnter tlueo leet deep , all of
which must flow oil tluough Stony brook.
This mnyoi , police commissioners , and other
city ollleials are at work establishing depots
lor supplies , ami uiinuglng for the
tell-if of sutTuicis. A largo pint
of the Inhabitants ot the flooded
dNtilct aie still living In the upper stoiles ot
their houses waiting lor the Hood to subside.
Theio hn\e been many nniiow escapes fiom
drowning. Immense Huongs of people have
visited tiio Hooded district to-day , nnd the
streets In thai \lcinlty h.neboeu black with
humanity slnco eailj this moininir.
The total dnmnire In Massachusetts cannot
now bo estimated but It will teach at least a
million dollnis.
Tnov , M. Y. , Feb. tl. Much damage Is an-
paient Horn the Hood In thu Hudson at this
point. In splto oC the mild weather aim lain
of the jnst lew days It was expected that the
Ice would go out with nothing mote than an
oidlnaiy fieshct , hut ( ho wnter Is above the
hich water matk ot ISTi ) . The lower patt of
the city is Inundated , Se\etal hoises have
been diowned In their stables and the water
Is lour or live ieot deep wheio it was not ex
pected nt all. The Hood is subsiding and It
is believed the worst Is past.
llAimisnuun , Pa. , Feb. 14. The Hood
caused bv the bieak-up of ieo in the Susque-
hanim has nbout .subsided. To-day , In con
sequence ot thebieak-upin the West Branch
and small streams , itioso several feet above
the flgutes to which it had fallen lust night
bofoie the gorge had ghcn way. A canvass
of the lower sections of the city shows a
gicat amount ot damage , estimated at fiom
Sii'i.OOO to fcSO.OOO , and It falls almost en-
tlielv upon the poor class ol people.
The"rise was so sudden that
they could not lemovo their furniture fiom
the first to higher lloois. The Pennsylvania
steel woiks ami all that pait of the town
lying along the ralltoad was In four feet of
water , and the dtmago thcio Is also great.
At Mlddletown so strong was thu cuiiout
alter the goigognve way that a eliniiuel llfty
feet wide was washed through ono ot the
laigc islands. The people tlieio weie in
gieat danger but succeeded In lemovitur all
their goods. The highest ligiuo teaehed hero
was twenty-one nnd jmo half leet , thrro tcet
lower than in 18U3 , when the gicat Hood oc-
ciued. Along the tallioads west , several
wiecks occiured1 on' account of land slides ,
but no person BO fur as ascettained was
Injincd , All the tinins wcio moving icgu-

stood in the door of his saloon and began
shooting at him. Some one said , 'You

keeper said , 'yes , d n him ho will never

right through tlio neck and killed him. "

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.

and afterwards sold them to Cornblott
for $17. Judge Stonberg accordingly

Col , A. T , Babbitt and Mr. Richard
Allen , respectively general manager and
assistant manager of the Standard Cattle
company , were In the city yesterday.
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

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. "

Now York Times : The blunder of a
messenger boy in the stock e.\ciango ) a
day or two ago , by which an order in
tended for ono broker was given to an
other , and the operations of a prominent
.speculator exposed , recalls a story that
Wall street men love to tell of dead-ami-
gone Uncle Daniel Drew. 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. Behind the smile that lighted
his face it is barely possible that
the recording angel heard a grit
ting of teeth , but the Icstivc broKora
did not her any such thing , and
they Went on their way rejoicing for
many days Ono evening a big congre
gation oi them wcro in an up-town ulub ,
when nil unexpected In marched Uncll
Daniel Drew. Ho hud called only for n
moment , ho was limiting for a man
whom ho did not find , It was not an ex
cessively warm night , but L'nclo Daniel
seemed to bo much overheated , and two
or three times ho drew out his big wltita
handkerchief and bathed his face in it ;
and finally out of his pocket with the
handkerchief came a silt ) of white papoi
to float and circle round till it settled at
his feet on the lloor , Mr , Drew didn't
notion that ho lost anything , the
speculative gentleman before him
did , and the foot of ouo enter
prising broker was big enough to cover
the .slip of paper over it us it lay there on
the lloor. 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. " O.h-
kosh was already pretty high. Lvory *
body was agreeing that it was too high ,
and that a tumble was Inevitable , but
tliii handwriting of the millionaire oper
ator plainly exposed on that slip
of paper was sutlleieiit to coin luce the .
eager crowd in that club room that
night that some now scheme must bu
afoot to send Itfutthor skyward. Kight
through the millstone they saw it all , and
then and there they made up a pool to
buy 20,000 or iiO.OOO shares the iut day.
They did , ami the man who sold It lo
them was Daniel Drew. Ho blandly told
them nil about It as tlu\v saw their money

register. This antiquated muehino
put down the dots and dashes
on paper , provided the necessary
weight was attached and she was wound
up O. K. 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. Joe was busy with ono hand
on tlie crank to wind tlio rogNlcr up
if there were any signs of fall
ing on its part , and was watching tie
dots and dashes on the paper us it can o
coiling out like a serpent. Tlio order
como to an end just before the paper
run out. Joe looked around' and to his
horror discovered that his antelope had
eaten the paper , order and all , us fust as
it had come from the instrument , and
was rolling its eyes in ccstacy , as if to
say it was the lincst tiling in the eating
line ever found , .foe ran out on tliu pint-
form , hung out his red Hag to
stop tlio train , and wont for thai antelope -
tolopo in a very vigorous way ,
much to the surprise of that
interesting animal. After he had about
exhausted himself ho wondered how in
the world ho was going ; to get that train
ordur. Ho had no pa'per to take it on
nor could ho got any. With fear and
trembling bu took hold of the key ami

Joe took the order by Round and never
