THE DUCK SEASON.

Yesterday.

some Good Bags Made by Sportsmen
Yesterday.
Most of the sportsmen who went out
after ducks yesterday returned with
fairly good bags. The wind came up on
Monday night, accompanied by clouds,
and tire weather was therefore in the
hunters favor.
w. II. Eckhardt and Frank Ruhstaller
went down to their ponds at the foot of
Riverside Lake, four miles south of the
city. and returned before noon with
thirty-tnree line fat ducks.
Gus. Benning and Bert kidder went a
little farther into the Pocket" and
baRged iorty-two.
The klotz brothers of Freeport re-
turned to their home with fifty. shot on
the ponds near that village.
Several members OF the Triple Alliance
Club were out on Sims and Reith's
Lakes, near the Union House, and all d id
well. Their bags included canyasback ,
mallard, teal, sprig and widge0n.
4 party of memb ers of the Canvas back
Club went TO the Prltchard Lake. up the
river, but they did not have very good
luck, less than dozen DUCKS falling to q
half-doZen guns.
The Triple Alliance Club members
have adopted rules that will insure them
good shooting througho the season. y O
guns are allowed TO be discharged oil
their grounds before sunrise in the morn
ing, and no evening shooting whatever is
permitted. II is the constant banging
away at ducks before sunrise and after
shutdown that frightens them away--the
flashes from the guns more than the re-
ports OF the discharges. The ducks come
in TO feed in the evenings, and if not then
disturbed there will always be good day
light shooting.
lfother clubs would adopt similar rules
they would have better sport throughout
the season.

THE OLD STORY AGAIN REPEATED.
Antonio PimentaI Pulled His Gun To-
ward Him by the MuzzIe.
He Received the Load in Bis Heart
His Son Was 81 Witness to
the Accident.

The duck season opened yesterday and
was sigualiZed by at least one fatal acci-
dent, due to carelessness.
Antonio +. Pimental, Portuguese who
lived near Peters Ferry, below the city,
on the Riverside road. went out with his
fifteen-year-old son to shoot ducks in a
lake little back from the river and
about mile below the ferry.
He had purchased 8 new gun, and used
it for the first time yesterday. About
o'clock in the afternoon he saw a flock of
ducks coming. His gun lay In the boat
where he had landed, and he caught it
by the muzzle and drew it toward him,
when the hammer of the left barrel
caught on the boat in some way and the
gun went off. the load striking him just
over the left nipple and passing through
his heart. killing him instantly, and he
fell forward on his face.
His son, who was in boat on the
opposite side of the little lake, witnessed
the catastrophe and summoned assist
ance.
Deputy Coroner Craig went down and
found the body lying where it fell, just at
the edge OF the water, and brought it to
the city.
Pimental was about 40 years of age, and
leaves wife and two children-the boy
referred 10 and infant about year old.

favorable to the views we entertain. We
are satisfied that we can convince such
commission that the erection of dams in
the torrential streams or the tributaries
of these rivers could do no good aud
would probably be productive of harm;
but If we cannot SO convince them, we
shall probably be compelled to bow to
their judgment
1t seems to US that every body interested
In the State of California can join hands
in aiding you and our entire Congress
slonal delegation in securing large ap-
preparation to be spent under the direc-
ton OF a permanent commission for the
Deneht OF these streams. leaving 10 such
commission to decide in the future what
shall be the best kind of improvement.
But we Go not think it wise that any

slider tia duty we owe to ourselves and
the community in which we reside Bit

II, unfortunately, the proposition of hy-
draullc mining should be so linked to

Droprlate money for the resumption of

We desire to thank you for the cour-
tesy you have shown in consulting ua

The Trouble Laid at the Door of a
Printer Named William
c. Hart.

William Christ, the barber, whose wife
was shot and killed on Monday night at
their home on l. street, near Sixteenth, is
still in jail on suspicion OF having pur-
posely taken his wife's lie, and circum-
stances have come TO light that make it
probable he will remain behind the bars
at least until jury shall have considered
his case. He has retained Hiram W.
Johnson to defend him.
Christ adheres to his statement that his
wife was accidentally shot by his pistol
falling to the floor, but the course of the
bullet and the powder-marks on her face
show that she could not have been sew
eraI feet away and in an upright position
when she received the fatal wound. lie
is now reported to have qualified mis-
statement by saying that LAe WAS in
stopping position when the pistol was
discharged.
ON the side of the room and several feet
from where the body lay when Coroner
Clark arrived WAS a lounge, and on the
carpet by the lounge was large quantity
OF blood. Christ admitted having raised
his wife from the floor aud laid her where
she was found by the Coroner. The sup
position now is that the woman was sit-
Ting on the lounge when shot, and that
her head was resting on her right hand,
with her elbow on her knee.
The tragedy mas given rise TO consider
able gossip, and it now appears that
Christ was Jealous of his wife If the
stories aiioas yesterday morning are true,
he had coed reason to be so. Mrs. Christ
had Ter some months, IL is said, been re-
ceiviug the attentions OF married mau
named ~. Z. Hart, an empIUye OF The
State Printing Office, and the latters WI lie
recently came III possession OF CORE
spoudence that had passed between
them.
sue called on Christ on Monday and
told him what she suspected, exhibiting
a letter from Mrs. Christ TO her husb band 10
bear out her suspicion, and said she had
two others OF similar character. She, ii
is said, offered to giv9 him these evil
dences OF his wife's guilty affection for
her husband, but had changed her mind
when Christ called for them.
That afternoon he upDraided his wife
for her alleged conduct with Hart, and
thon Went 10 tie shop where he was en-
pIoyed. lie returned later in the even
ing, but just what transpired between
him and his vile nobody knows, except
that Mrs. Christ was shot and killed,
Christ had consulted with his friend, II.
Ogg. ABOUT his domestic trouble, and the
LATER tried 10 have him discredit the
story thai his wife had been guilty OF
anything more than a slight indiscre-
ton. but apparently without success.
District Attorney Ryan and Coroner
Clark yesterday called Oh Mrs. Hart TO
get IA statement rom her concerning the
case, bat she, acting under the ad Twice Of
a lawyer, refused to disclose whatever
knowledge she had relative 10 the caus g
OF the tragedy.
District Attorney Ryan, City Attorney
Brown and Chief OF Police Drew last
night had Christ taken before them IN the
Chiefs private Office to have another
talk with him about the shooting, but he
absolutely refused TO talk about It,

The Silver Cause.

Now that the busy season Of the year is upon us, the people of the South will turn aside temporarily from thoughts of politics, and will devote themselves to the gather Ing and marketing of their crops. The great cause which has since l893been more prominent in their minds than any other political question, will be allowed to rest, not because of any want of inter. est in it, but because q rest will the better prepare them for the great battle of 1896 which is before them.
 It will be great mistake to conclude that return oi prosperi ty to the country will settle the silver question. Even if We should have that much desired boon, which caudor requires us to say Is not now in sight, that would give us no cause whatever for au aband- onment of correct principle of government that lies deeply inn hedded in the hearts of the masses of the democratic party. This principle is well expressed in that subdivision of the preamble 10 the constitution of the United States which declares that one of the pur- poses ot tfat instrument is 10 pro mote the the general welfare. Certain ly il should need no argument now to prove that il is not consistent with the general welfare ot all the people for the right to issue and control their circulating medium to be let out to corporations. Yet this is whot the gold men desire. Or, if they do not desire it, it is the plan that they offer for the supplementing of the constantly diminishing supply of primary money The people who desire to avoid slavery to money kings will never let the silver cause die, no matter what temporary pros perlly may come thtS iait anu "ih- ter. They may lei II go into wiH- Ger quarters, but 1t will issue forth m due time next spring and will make q lively fight in the cam paign of 1896.
 The above sensible article is from tho pen of Hon. Thos. B. Morton, of the Fordyce Enterprise. Mr. Morton is one of the fo1 emost thinkers in the state, and his heart
 is in the right place. May he live long to fight the battles of the peo- pie against the sharks and gam, blers,

A Surprise In Store.

The goldtug papers of Arkan- sas are making very light of tho silver question and the silver pa pers, and by insinuation try to i'm
 press tLeir readers with the view that the "silver cranks," as they wantonly call democrats who be. lieve in the money of the constitu- ton, are fast dv ing out. If they desire to continue to play this childishness upon the minds of their readers we shall not com. plain, but we notify them that when the proper time comes they must bear the responsibility of their untruthful teachings. The silver democrats are no; at all dis. couraged, nor are they in the woe ful attitude and forlorn condition that the goldbug papers would have Lombard and Wall street money-chaugers believe. Quite to the contrary. The papers who la vor silver and who believe in re- storing it to the splendid position it occupied mp to 1873, are work ing fearlessly, honestly and stead, fastly in the eause of justice, and although they are not creating ve- ry much sensation, they are keep ing up their part ot the work with unabated zeal, and when next year the county conventions are held, the peoples voices will he heard and q powerful silver dele

gna Canal is mat CT of vi'al in-. portaHoe to the Pacific coast. as 1t would afford for the pfo iucts of that part of the IT. tied States cheap aud reasonably short route to European markets by water without breaking bulk. The pres ent route around the Horn is too long to afford the competition with the Eastern scaboard which is desired.
 The completion of the canal would enable California to deliver grain in Europe moro cheaply and, of course, much more rapidly than at present. It would also permit of the shipment of California pro duets destined for the Eastern States to reach the consuming markets more cheaply than at pre- sent by affording permanent com petition with the transcontinenta lines.
 The interests of the Gulf States and the South generally in the Nicaragua Canal are greater, if anything, than those of the Pacific coast, hence it would be as well for our own commercial bodies to also agitate the subject and ask our Congressmen to advocate any reasonable measure based on the general lines of the Morgan bill passed by the Senate in the last Congress. A favorable report from the commission of engineers sent to Nicaragua to examine the route of the canal is expected as soon as Congress reassembles, and the presentation of that report will no doubt revive one of the measures introduced during last session.-N. 0.
