FEATURES OF THE FISH COMMISSIONERS
REPORT.
From the second biennial report of the
fish commissioners for the fiscal term end
ing September 80, 1892, which has just
been made public, the following is culled:
During the year 1891 the commissioners
caused 1856. 600 trout fry to bs distributed
in the different streams of the state, and
900 trout fry in the year 1899. The
demand for fry is increasing, owing to the
interest that is being taken in all parts of
the state in restocking the trout streams,
and the results obtained are very sstisfso-
tory. For this reason the commissioners
decided to obtain a much larger supply for
1892 than they had in previous years. Al
ready. many applications have been re-
cSlbo0 IOI lTy " 10 uoufoIcO ucAU ePI1uS,
and We are of the opinion that 500, 900 fry
can be pro6tably planted during the COM
ing season, and therefore recommend that
the appropriation for trout be increased
to at least $500. All applications for
trout fry for planting in 1893 must be fled
with the commissioners on or before
March l.
On the subject of shad the commission
ers report decrease in the catch of shad
for the past two years. There are many
reasons assigned for this, but no one of
them seems to be entirely satisfactory.
Colonel Mcdonald of the United States fish
commission reports that the catch of shad
in the Potomac and other southern waters
is increasing. The present plan Of distrib-
uting the fry is to plant them as soon as
they are large enough to take care of them
selves in our large rivers, notably the Con
necticut. Housatonic, Thames and Quinnt-
Piac. We do not believe that this gives
the best results, and should like to try the
plan of making ono or more small ponds

A Cripple for Life.

On the arrival of the train Saturday
evening it was reported by the train
men that Il serious accident had hap
dened to one of the crew just before
the train left Larimore, shortly before
noon. Just as the crew were in the
act of coupling on the last car in MAX
ing up the train, VIM. Williamson,
who has only been on this run little
over a month, got his foot caught in
the frog of a defective switch and be-
fore he could release himself the APP
preaching train caught him: threw
him down and crushed his left leg in 3
frightful manner. The train was
brought TO {, stop when the accident
was discovered and the engineer ex-
tricated the poor fellow. who was still
conscious, from beneath the Car. He
was carried on a grain door to the
hotel and left in the hands Of local
physicians who claim that amputation
above the knee will be necessary. BY
his companions he is spoken OF as be-
ing Il quite industrious fellow and is
said to have received more than u com
mon school education.

MRS. AILISON'S DEATH,

The many friends Of Mrs. James ALI

morning. upon hearing of that lady's sud
den death at her home at O'clock last
night. While Mrs. Allison has been i'll

ady, and nobody regarded her in anything
like critical condition till about $50
when they noticed change 10 her condi-
ton, and for an hour she sunk gradually
until she died. The exact nature OF her
illness is not known as it was never con-
sidered serious enough. though of course
her physicians know it.
Mrs. Allison was one of the many good
Christian women of Wichita and her life
has been a particularly active one in
church and charitable works. On the
West Side she has done good deal for the
poor people as she was OF Il very benevo-
lent and loving disposition. The sympa-

A FAIR SETTLEM ENT:

Almost every one recollects the sad death
of George ID. Barnes in the yards OF the
Missouri Pacific Railway company, neal
Twelfth street, in February last. The cor
oner's jury fully investigated the case aud
returned verdict of death by accident.
Mr.. Barnes was man of excellent reputa-
ton, and was a member of the Odd Fell
lows lodge at Goddard. The deceased
left widow and four children in almost a
destitute condition.
The Odd Fellows lodge at Goddard ap-
pointed II committee to aid Mrs. Barnes
and this committee employed Messrs.
Bentley s. Hatfield to bring suit fol
damages. These gentlemen at once went
to work upon the case, but found great
difficulty in fixing any negligence upon
the railway company. They so reported
to the lodge and to Mrs. Barnes. After
considerable correspondence compromise
was effected, by which the company yes
terday paid to Mrs. Barnes attorneys $500,
the lodge agreeing to pay attorneys fees.
The railway company disclaimed any liza
bility ia the case, and said that the death
of Mr.. Barnes was purely an accident; but
with characteristic liberality compromised
the claim. In addition to this the railway
company agreed to provide Mrs. Barnes
and family, aud her household goods, with
transportation to Indianapolis, Ind.

THEIR FAITH IS WE'LL FOUNDED;

Messrs Caswell s. Buckley have let the
contract for fine prick business building
on East Douglas avenue, between Fourth
and Fifth, and work on the same will he
commenced at once The building is for
their manufacturing interests. cornlce
works, and when it is completed and the
business enlarged they will have by far
the largest and best equipped plant in the
state. This is one Of the first evidences of
the good results arising from the opening
of the Cherokee strip to settlement, which
event will undoubtedly occur within the
next thirty days.
Caswell & Buckley, knowing the advan-
tages of the location of Wichita with ref
erence to the Cherokee strip, will enter
that field and contest it, with all
competitors, for its trade. There
will be no question as to their
success. The Cherokee strip aud
Oklahoma will always be field where
Wichita will triumph for several reasons.
chief among which is its nearness and the
rapidity with which goods can be placed
there when ordered. Merchants are not
investing immense sums of money in
merchandise any more That is they are not
lOE
have changed good deal in recent years
and the main thing now is how to get
goods the quickest. People have too much
sense to put in six months supplies while
they they can get supplies every week to
Ieplenish and sort" their stocks or every
day for that matter. The nearest market
from which they can get goods quickest is
what western merchants are after and
this is what will make Wichita the whole
sale and jobbing point for the Cherokee
strip. There will not be a station in the
Cherokee strip that cannot be- reached
from Wichita IN from three to ten hours,
and the merchants who will do business
in the new country will be sbrewd enough
to realize the advantages of buying goods
in a city from which they can receive them
in few hours, in preference to cities from
which they cannot get them for two or
three days.
Caswell & Buckley, as we'll as other
shrewd business men, know this, and they
are preparing themselves accordingly.
They have faith in Wichita, and their
faith is well founded.

JOHN PIN ARRtSTED'

Fate seems to be against everybody who
was connected directly aud indirectly with
the United States express robbery in this
city two weeks ago. All those engaged in
the original crime are behind the bars and
information received at the EAGLE Office
last night was to the effect that John Pin
was arrested yesterday afternoon at Mem =
phis, Tenn, on information sent there by
Sheriff Ault.
Whsn arrested Pin had 81, 100 OF the ex-
press compsny's money in his pocket and
on his person he wore $40 worth of jewel
~. 1t was the profuse jewelry display be
made that led to his apprehension. The
very thing with which he intended TO con-
Quer was that which caused his downfall,
tor colored man with that much jewelry
is always regarded with suspicion in the
sunny southland.
Pin is the man who robbed Kitterell IN
Chicago. the latter being the man WHO
robbed the express wagon here.
