An occan-going canning factory
sailed from New York for the Florida
Keys and the West Indies the other
day. She has aboard fifty thousand
cans Of one and two pound caliber, In
which II Is proposed to put fish, fruit
and meat There are boilers and all
the apparatus Of canning establish
ment aboard, as well Us q Arst.clsss
chef and expert Gamers" The expe-
dtion will make a specially Of that
succulent fish, the pampano. Turtles
will also be largely caught, and, under
the benign influence Of the chef, will
become q canned turtle soup. When
fishing Is bad the schooner will visit
West Indian ports and barter calico
and Waterbury watches with the ma
tives for fruit, which will also 20 into
cans. The expedition expects to come
back loaded with guava jelly, among
other things. Whether cannery on
the spot can compete with the big ones
ashore remains to be seen. At Ill
events, the preserved fish and fruit to
be put up by the Yankee genius who
heads the enterprise will have fresh
ness In Its favor, which should com.
mand IN extra cent or two over the

preaching Christ to those who have
not the gospel.

Where We Lead.

American paper is nm article which
we are exporting largely. 1t Is cheap
or than any other paper, and several Of
the London and Liverpool newspapers
are printed on 1t. Nearly all Australian
and many South American journals
use It, Significant figures are those
showing the exports Of ten years ago
as compared to those Of 1894. Ten
years ago tho figures were $3.50, In
1894 they were ss,0SS,SA. The reason
for this Is, according to industrial au-
thority, We manufacture our paper
from wood pulp, and we have plenty Of
wood and wo have the process down
finer than any foreign manufacturers.
We have got better machinery. In the
manufacture Of machinery we always
IRE In the lead, and the foreigner who
thinks to compete with us by buying
our machines finds that by the time he
gets them there and gets them set up,
they are back numbers In this country.
We have Invented something better,
something faster, and we beat him out
Just the same.

Regarding Buffers Stewardship

70 the Editor Of tho Reflector
In the report Of State Accountant
Challinor's report concerning JAS
Butler last evening you say a letter
Of Buffers "somehow fell into the
hands Of Mr.. Challinor." This letter
Is copied on page 9S Of the stewards
official letter copy-book and is as ac-
cessIble to Mr., Challinor as to any
one else or as any other record OF 'he
institution. None OF Mr.. Challlnors
expert English detective ability II he
possesses such, was required to l'na
it. You say that Mr.. Challlnor says
that "Armour's price was lSl cents
per pound (you do not say what II Is
they offer at that price, and ano'her
dealers was 20 cents from whom pur-
chases were made thereafter" Ar
mour's price was lsl cents per pound
for olcomargerine and the other deal
err. who was a Dickinson county
creamery man, was 9s cents per
pound for the best grade creamery
butter. Perhaps the people Of Kan
sas think it better that our state in
stitutions should use olcomargerlne
in preference to Kansas creamery
butter, at a saving Of Al cents per
pound, and il so, the steward made a
mistake and our imported account
ants criticism holds good
The difference in prices OF corn
meal and graham -four, am In
formed, was simply difference in
grades While political criticism is
perfectly Legitimate ! think when a
a mans honor is uniustly assailed 1t
is exceeding the limits Of legitimate
political criticism.

A New eer.

From oil cities comes the complaint
Of fast riding or "seorchlng," rs 1t Is
called. The man or woman on the b.
cycle Is become the bane Of the pedes-
trian. Crossing streets In tho resi-
dence parts Of the cities has become
theart ofdodging two-wheeled vehicles,
In New York city they have law
which forbids riding at greater speed
than eight miles an hour But how Is
a policeman to Judge Of the speedp
Aud how Ia no to arrest violntors Of this
wholesome regulation? The Tribune's
advice Is blcycle-mounted police. The
men for this service must be expert
riders. III many places the bicycle
riders have special paths or roads set
apart for their use. Excursions into
the country have also become regular
features, and, strange to say, the inns
which went out when the railroads
came In are being reopcned.

HYDRoPHoBIA's vICTIN.
A Former Abilene Lad Suffers an
Awful Death.

Awful Death.
Arthur Ogden, the seven year old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Ogden, for
many years residents Of this city but
who moved to Kansas City a few
months ago, died Of hydrophobia at
their home Saturday. His death
came about in q most curious way.
About seven weeks ago, on Sunday
morning, Arthur, upon returning
home from Sunday school, stopped at
the residence Of his uncle, Darius o.
den, also a former Abileneite. Find
ing no one at home, he went to the
barn to play. He had with him
small black-and.tan dog, and as the
child opened the barn door cat sud-
denly jumped from the floor and fas-
tened its teeth in his right wrist, in
flicting painful wound. After Bit
ing the boy the cat sprang upon the
back OF the dog and lacerated its back
with its teeth and claws. An hour
after the occurrence the child's
parents had the wound in the little
fellows wrist cauterized and in few
days it completely healed. There
were no perceptible III effects from
the injury until last Tuesday even
ing. On Tuesday afternoon Arthur,
with another playmate, moved a large
box about the yard Of his fathers res
idence and at night he complained Of
a pain in the right arm. Mr.. Ogden
attributed the complaint to a sprain
incurred while the child was moving
the box and did not call a physician.
Upon Wednesday the little fellow felt
better, but said that the pain had
settled in his right shoulder. During
the evening Of the same day the
childs throat became infamed and
Thursday he could not swallow.
Thursday afternoon DR.. L. G. Van
Scoyoc was called and found the pa
tient suffering from intermittent
spasms. There was white aureole
around his mouth and his lips were
flecked with foam. DR.. Van Scoyoc
was in almost constant attendance
until the child's death. DR.. j. W.
Kyger was called in for consultation
at II o'clock and everything possible
was done to relieve the child's suffer-
ings, which were terrible. For sever
al hours before his death the most
characteristic indication Of hydropho-
bic malady, adherence Of water, was
manifested by the sick child.
Saturday afternoon post mortem
examination was held developing
healthy and vigorous condition Of
the child's alimentary system. The
dog, which was bitten at the same
time the child was attacked, has been
confined in the cellar Of the Ogden
home. OF late he has manifested
some uneasiness and shows signs Of
becoming rabid. Nothing has been
seen Of the cat since it bit the boy,
and it Is feared that other animals in
the neighborhood may have become
inoculated with hydrophobic poison.

TWO INCHES OF RAIN.
Generous Showers and an Abundance
of Wind.

The three rainfalls since Saturday
night sent down 2 inches OF rain,
more than had fallen in two months
preceding. 1t was general over the
county and much heavier west OF
here where washouts Of bridges and
railway track occurred. Eastbound
trains were delayed for that reason'
making it seem like old times.
The wind Sunday noon took on q
whirling motion in the south part Oh
town and moved several barns, over
turned outbuildings and frightened
some people badly. No serious dam
age was done.
