1t was no question to drum up stock, but
only question TO explain it and show Its
merits. As result a company with a
capital stock of 10000 was
organized and Mr. Hays says that within
| thirty or forty days they will be ready 70
| commence making the machines
Tie mention of the enterprise in the
EAGLE some weeks ago Nr. Hays says In
creased ais mail several hundred letters
, of inquiry from he state which he says are
nothing but orders and he is confident or
its being business to open up with large
factory. There are only two classes OF
men necessary TO make the machine-ear-
penters 70 make the boxes and men 10 hx
up the metallic coil
Mr. Hays believes that they can afford 10
open up a factory with three hundred
hands and that the demand VIII compel
them in a short time to increase this num-
Der. He will make this the factory for
the state, supplying ali other towns and
cities from this point. The machines can
be made very small for a small family and
as large as desired, making cooling rooms
for packing houses and placed in cars 10
preserve perishabie freight. Mr.. Armour
has adopted the system for his packing
house in Kansas City. Owing TO the power
of suitins the process to the demand
Mr.. Hays says that they viii make the
price such that can buy it from the poor
to the rich farmers and all.
The machines which viii be exhibited TO
the company alone are expected 10 arrive
in two or three days when other members
OF the company will be given chance 10
see the practical working when further
facts concerning the enterprise can be sub
mitted TO type.
Messrs Smith and Bradford were shown
the city yesterday b. Mr.. Hays and they
are very much amused at the reports of
Wichita learned in St. Louis where they
were a few days ago. The facts
as they are TO be seen here, it is
needless 70 say, are quite different from the
representations made TO him there. The
facts seem to be that some St Louis men
tried 10 buy the right for Kansas but were
just a few days behind Mr.. Hays. st.
Louis parties a few days ago bought the
right TO Texas and viii put their factory
in that city and IN similar way they
would have cheated Kansas out of her
power TO make her own ice had it not been
that one of Wichita's energetic citizens
was ahead.

In another column of this issue there is
a communication relating to the 'Cincin-
matt Exposition" Wichita has the chance
% be the central figure of this exposition
if the matter is properly handled. Taking
the taxable property as basis, and con-
sidering the advantages TO be derived
throughout the county, it would appear
fair for the city and county TO share this
expense, pro rata. The amount estimated
S., 600. is no more than is needed TO make
an exhibition which will create the i'm
preston it is hoped TO create. The citizens
should look after this as a whole and make
the exhibit of the exposition.

''Well, she murmured, as rosy blush

Few "Con" Men.


Council Bluffs used to be a favOrite
resort for confidence men. The number
Of railways entering here, and the Pc
culiar situation of the transfer depot,
the trains also stopping at the local
depots, made it easy for them to turn
tricks and then be lost sight Of, by
dropping off the train, or hurrying over
the river. Lately there have been few
such tricks reported. The query was
made yesterday of one who has for years
been familiar with the workings of the
gang, "where are they alp"
"Well, most of them are in the pen.
No, there are very few tricks being
turned here now. There are very few
con men ever seen here. There are two
who now make headquarters here, and
I guess they are about the only ones
"Are they doing any work!''
"Yes, they occasionally catch sucker
here. They don't work on the same
class Of suckers that they used to. It's
better class that they now go for,
smarter fellows. They go, too, for
larger amounts, and when they catch a
sucker it is generally u sort of fellow
who is ashamed to say anything about
it,"
'What is their game?"
Its much like the old check or ex-
press racket, only it is almost always
government bonds or mining stock that
they show up. The third man presents
note which has got to be paid, or some
other claim, and the other fellow is of
course short Of currency, but has plenty
OF security in the form of bonds, or Of
mining stock, very valuable of course,
and yet in his emergency he is willing
to put it up as security for a small loan
of currency with which to satisfy the
importunate creditor. The sucker lends
his new found friend and then that ends
it. BY the way, one of the old gang,
Carroll, gets out to-day. He has been
in Lincoln for year and a half. There
is another warrant out for him on an
old trick, but by this time the witnesses
are not to be had, and if he is arrested,
as he probably will be, there can be
nothing done with him, The days of
the con men in this neck of the woods
arc about over"

Searching For n Sister.

A ten-year-old boy arrived at the
police station yesterday afternoon from
Omaha, looking for his sister, Mrs. John
Whiting. He had note for her stating
that her mother was dying and request
ing her to come home at once. Her
residence was described about half a
mile from the head of Broadway in a
shanty in large field. No one knew of
such a place, although it was stated that
a man by the name of John Whitney is
employed as a teamster in this city and
lives in the eastern part OF the city.
The little fellow said that his father
died six years ago, and that he would be
left alone after his mothers death. He
was rather poorly dressed, but was a
very bright boy, and excited consider
able sympathy among the visitors at the
station,

her parents having died when she was
but FIVE years old. She said that she
came here from Irvington. Neb., where
she had lived on a farm for long
time. She did not know how
hong she had been there but
knew. that it was several years.
She came away without the knowledge
OF anyone there, and does not want them
to know where she Is. When the re-
porter inquired the name Of the family
with whom she lived she said. "What
for? I haven't done anything wrong"
The scribe assured her that he was
positive she told the truth, and merely
wanted to satisfy his inordinate Curl
osity. She still firmly refused to give
the party's name, or any information as
to the identity Of the author Of her mis-
fortune. She said that she had but one
friend in the city, and that was a col
ored woman by the name of Mrs. Buck
ner.
The girl is quite intelligent, very we'll
developed for her age, and would read
lily pass for eighteen years old. She
will be well cared for by the Sisters of
Mercy at the hospital, and they will try
the wards of the hospital are in crowded
condition the Sisters could not turn her
away, as it is evident that she will be
confined in very short time. There
are now four OF these cases there,
and all charity patients. The ma
ture OF the work being done
there should bespeak for it the
assistance of all the charitably inclined
citizens OF this city.
The present accommodations are alto
gether inadequate for the amount of
work to be done, and the sisters are al
ready planning for the erection of suit
able buildings which will permit them
to carry on more extensively their noble
work of relieving the sick and unfor-
tunate. 1t is their intention to also have
phans, in which homeless and friendless
waits may receive training that will
prevent them from following in the foot
steps Of the unfortunate girl who has
just been given temporary home there.
These sOrrOw-stricken Outcasts' invari
ably find in the ranks of the sisterhOOd
the sympathy and compassion that is
harshly refused them in the outer world,
and by this means many are reclaimed
from the depths to which they have
fallen.
1t is easier to preserve virtue than to
reclaim vice, and it is hoped that the
sisters may soon be able to fulfill their
intention in regard to building, and car
ing for the young, healthy and virtuous
as well as for the sick and infirm.

So Young, Yet Ruined.

Another victim of misplaced conIi-

hospital Monday afternoon. The girl,
for she is but fifteen years of age, ar
rived in this city last Thursday and
went to the Revere house, where she
stopped over night. Her condition was
apparent to every one, and one OF the
proprietors, being unwilling that she
should remain there, took her 10 the
house of Mrs. Boyd, on upper Broad
way. From there she went to Mrs.
Benefits in the northern part Of the
city, and then to the hospital, where
she now is. a BEE representative
called there yesterday afternoon and
from the girl herself, learned as much
OF he's story as she was willing TO tell.
She gave her name as Emma Houston
and her age as but u few months over
fifteen Years. Her birthplace she did
not know, and claimed to be an orphan,
