BITTEN BY TWO DOGS.
Little New London Girl Painfully In
 iIred hy Viciol1s Canines


 Little New London Girl Painfully In-
 jured by Vicious Canines.
 Lena, the S-years- old daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Darlington of No. 2 Crouch street. was attacked by two dogs near her home yesterday after noon about o'clock and so badly in- jured that there are doubts whether she will recover.
 The little girl had been on an errand to the store and was on her way home, and Just as she reached the hill near the Rogers ice house. two dogs, one a large brown stag hound and the other small black canine, ran toward her. Before the child could reach place of safety she was knocked down and bit- ten. Her screams attracted the atten- ton of her mother who ran to her as- sistance. Upon the approach of Mrs. Darlington the dogs ran away and she picked up the bruised and bleeding child and carried her in the house.
 Little Lena presented a frightful ap- pearance and her cries created consid- erable excitement in the neighborhood. Her face was covered with blood and her hair over the forehead was gone and her clothing filled with mud. Doc tors were hastily summoned and Dr. Stanton was the first to reach the house. He gave the child relief and made an examinationfof her injuries.
 It was found that the child had been stripped of most of the hair from the crown and it was done so cleanly that knife could not have done the thing cleaner. There was a three-cornered cut over the left eye and the left side of the face and the mouth torn by the teeth of the beasts, while the right arm was nearly mass of bruises and marks of teeth. Lena suffered great pain and was very much affected by shock The child was given all the re- lief it was possible to give and 1t is hoped that rest will do more for her than the attention of sorrowing parents and friends.
 The work of the dogs was done in a few minutes but it will be weeks be- fore the victim, with the best of care, will recover. The parents of the child are nearly prostrated with grief and apprehension. and they have the sym pathy of all their neighbors. Lena is a | bright child and dearly loved by her companions. She was not in the least to blame for the attack made upon her and was entirely ignorant of the ap- poach of the dogs.
 From 8 neighbor it was learned that the canines have frequented the neigh borhood for some time and more than once before have given trouble. Miss Daboll was, on Wednesday night | frightened by them and only escaped | by running into the house. Officer Beebe was notified of the affair and he waa engaged last evening in endeavor- l ing to find the owners of the animals Much indignation is expressed by the people residing in the section and il will probably result in the extermina- tion of the nuisance.-New London | Telegraph.

THE NEW FLOUR ADULTERANT.
Flourine Made From Corn May be Used
 without Detection.

Flourine Made From Corn May be Used
 Without Detection.
 "Flourine" is a new article of com merce. The word is as new as the article. It bears the same relation to flour that butterine does to butter. It is the next thing to it. When a bushel of wheat and the silver in a silver dol Tor were worth about the same there was no call for f1ourine. When wheat was worth a gold dollar for every bushel and corn was still cheap there was an urgent demand for something that looked like four tasted like flour and felt like flour, and yet was not flour, made entirely out of dollar wheat.
 The glucose trust filled the want with it's flourine. Circulars were sent to millers throughout the northwest, telling of the discovery of the glucose experts, who have been called upon oftener to make things look like some- thing else than any class of men in Chicago. It was said in these cir- culars that, mixed in genuine wheat
 
 detected only with powerful micros- cope The sense of feeling gave no sign of It's presence It was so nearly taste less that the tongue did not detect it. And then being made out of corn, fiourine contained nothing injurious to the health. It really improved flour for certain lines of trade, the circular said.
 The proprietor of flour mill in a western town called at the office of the glucose sugar refining company to learn more about fourine. He asked how it was made, and, although he had been in the flour business for score of years he was unable to understand the conclusion that the man who told the process. Afterward he came 0 him about it did not intend that he should He was shown samples of flourine, and was astonished to see how near to flour the glucose product could be made. The only really suspicious thing about 1t was its extreme white ness It made ordinary four appear dark shade. He was warned not to mix flourine too freely. with flour, but | lO ldh6 IL Gaoy Nilii c tiliAtdIS Ol US- tween 10 and 20 per cent. The samples of such mixture were so nearly like l flour pure and simple that the experi- enced miller could not detect the samples in which f1ourine had been mixed.
 Afterward reporter for the Tribune tried to learn how the new flour adulteration was made. He was told it was compressed preparation of corn, and that was as far as he got The officials of the glucose company shut off inquiries into the nature ot the new article of commerce. Nor would they state how extensive had been their sales to millers for the purpose of adulterating flour. It is certain enough already has been solo to make fourine an important item 1T the output of the glucose trust.
 It was ;not until fourine was dis. covered that the problem was solved of adulterating flour in way few people could find out when using it 1T | ordinary baking. It is selling at s1.2' each 100 pounds, the price having ad' 1 vanced since its introduction on ac. count of the active demand There i: sufficient margin at this price to givt
