CACKLING SUCCESS.
The Enterprise Poultry Exhibit Some
thing to Crow Over.


Special to the Reflector
ENTERPRISE, Dec. 1S.-The first day
of the Enterprise poultry show has
been very successful one. So Tar
about 800 birds have been entered and
more will doubtless be brought Tues
day, Plymouth Rocks, Buff CochlnS
and White Brahmns seem to be the
favorites, as they are much more
numerous than any other kinds. The
scoring is not nearly finished, but
Geo. Berkeley, G. Kohler and W. H.
Staatz have fowls that have received
high scores. Among the Abilene eS'
hibitors are Pitt Hallcck, W. j.. ALI
son and j. l.. Morley. Halleck''
Buff Cochns are very fine birds, one
Of them having scored 9lg points.
One of the unique exhibits at The
poultry show is that of the Enterprise
journal. In a handsome cage helc
together by wire and binding Irvine
are imprisoned two specimens Of The
bird family, but whose genus anc
species it is impossible to state upon
the impulse Of the moment 1t il
fair to assume, however, that they
are the descendants Of an illustrlolll
race. Some have suggested that they
are result Of cross between marsh
hen and dodo. But this has beer
doubted, Another tradition is tina
tbey are the lincal descendants 0
Mayor Buhrer's chickens that tool
the BOBBY prize last year. Some g
so far as to say that they are the yer,
same chickens. Although the mayo
Indignantly denies both theories 1t il
very probable that one of them is cor
rect. The result Of the scoring ha
not yet been announced.

A Fowl Proceeding.

Enterprise is going to furnish a
sensation in unique lawsuit ina few
days. Roy Shadinger is going to
figure in the remarkable proceeding,
the title of which will be either breech
of promise or habeas corpus it is not
yet decided which. Roy is a newly
married man and has only recently
been initiated into the mysteries Of
bringing home the 1901 articles that
a wife can burden mans memory
with. A few days ago his wife told
him to get a chicken for the next
days dinner. Roy ordered it and it
was that evening sent up alive but in
q sack, The female portion of the
household was afraid the chicken
would suffer so the sack was opened
and in the morning when Roy went
out to massacre the fowl for dinner
he saw very good looking bird
making itself at home on the back
porch. He girded up his loins and in
true Armenian style proceeded to
shed blood. A short tussle ended in
the fowl becoming corpse and a
good dinner seemed assured.
Now Roy's neighbor keeps blooded
fowls. He had some Golden Wyan-
dottes that he was fattening for the
poultry show and one cockerel in par
ticular was beauty from Beautyville.
What was his Indignation when he
looked out Of his window that morn
ing and saw Roy slashing away at
the fowl and soon witnessed its I'M
timely demise. His wife put iatirons
on his coat tail to keep him in the
house until his anger cooled a little
and then he went over and demanded
an explanation of the deed
Roy blushed sixteen shades Of
crimson and protested that he thought
it was the fowl from the grocery store.
That was adding insult to injury-to
think that beautiful cockerel should
be so mistaken The neighbor pro-
ceeded to present bill for damages
ten dollars spot cash. Well,
ten dollars does not grow on
every manuscript that the En-
terprise Journal puts into type and
Roy after mature deliberation and
consultation with Tom Borman re-
fused to pay that much for his din
ner. The neighbor is going to sue
Roy, the poultry show missed fine
exhibit and only one actor in the pro-
ceeding is to be congratulated-the
chicken that got away.

COUNTING THE CHRISTIANS.
Tho Sunday School Association
House to House Canvass.

The township vice presidents and
other leaders Of the County Sunday
School association met in conference
Saturday to listen to reports on the
house to house visitation which was
made last week all over the county by
special canvassers. The object was
to call on every family and ascertain
so far as possible the church rela-
lions, Sunday school attendance, need
Of bibles, ETC., in the county.
The morning session was devoted
to prayer by Rev. Haithcox, music
and remarks by Secretary W. C..
Wheeler on the work at hand.
In the afternoon "a were present,
with IA canvassers. Remarks were
made by number Of those who had
madea canvass Of the county. The
canvassers enjoyed the work; one
Sunday school had been organized as
a result Of the need discovered; many
children u years old who had never
been inside a Sunday school were
found; out Of 1870 canvassed in one
community only 6 protested Chris
tians were found; some complained
that they are not noticed by anyone
when they do 60 to church; some Of
the poor felt neglected by Christians.
Most families were glad to be visited.
In all 59S families have been visited
1913 are Sunday school attendants; 26l
Christians; III not Sunday school
goers; 1877 not Christians. 1t was re-
ported that many professors OF relig-
ion INDUCED in things not consistent
with the life Of n Christian and re-
Trained from answering questions.
On motion il was decided that the
report Of each township be returned
to its vice president by the officer
over it and that lists be made out fol-
each Sunday school superintendent
and pastor at convention in that
township.
1t was decided to complete the can
vass this week. Voted not to employ
county missionary now. 1t was re-
solved to secure the next meeting Of
the State Sunday School association
at Abilene, if agreeable to the citizens
Of this place.
The association is doing good
work and accomplishing valuable re-
suits.

JOHN BOYD TEACHER A WITNESS
He Fully verides Disputed Worlds
Fair Award.

John Boyd Thacher is laconic and
decisive in his statements. During
the campaign just closed in New York
this marked him especially as chair
man of the Democratic State Commit
tee. 1t was equally true of him as
chairman of the Executive Committee
on Awards at the Worlds Fair. This
is a positive and sententious way in
which he yerifies in an official letter,
the honors won by DR.. Prices Baking
Powder: 81 herewith enclose you an
official copy Of your award, which in
due time will be inscribed in the d.
ploma and forwarded" Thus the
question respecting the award, raised
by an enyious New York rival, Is set
tied beyond cavil. The same rival is
by the way widely advertising an
award for itself. The official records
prove this claim wholly false as they
show the New York pretender was not
SO much as an exhibitor at the Worlds
Fair.

business of the station Is to supply silk

obtain eggs from the station and raise

onired. The raw silk from Kansas
grown cocoons Is the best IN the world,
according to one Of the leading inn
porters in this country. The Peabody
hlature is operated at an expense to
the state, owing to the fact that the
wages paid to the rcelers are seven or
eight times as great as are paid In

Salina Has Quit.

The Salina Wesleyan Athletic as
ISOLATION whose football team made a
couple of unsuccessful attempts to
defeat Abilene has decided to quit the
brutal game, passing resolutions put
ting it on this ground; "Whereas'
The game Of foot ball as played under
the existing rules is attended by too
many accidents, and on account Oh
those accidents the opposition to foot
ball has become so widespread that
we fear it may work injury to the
university" We don't blame the
Salina athletes for their decision.
Had Abilene been walloped as badly
as were they week ago we should
favor the immediate disbandlng Of
the team. As it was, complimentary
banquet is more in order.

The people Of Athol, Mass, are busily
discussing what could have been the
cause Of the death Of thir-
teen-year-old girl which occurred
in that town few days ago.
1t was case which bafiled the skill
and care Of the towns best physicians.
The origin Of the trouble seemed to be
fit Of i'll temper caused by the re-
fusal Of her mother to grant her per-
mission TO attend an evenings enter-
tainment, The girl refused to speak
to her mother, and as time passed the
power Of speech seemed TO leave her,
and She commenced to scream and con
tinued to do so, in spite OF heavy
doses Of morphine and the efforts of
several physicians. A dose Of lauda-
nun was finally administered and the
girls sank into stupor from which no
human power could arouse her.
