DUCKS ARE PLENTIFUL
Wichita Hunters Shipping Canvas
Backs to New York

Wichita, March s-The sportsmen of
this city are enjoying duck hunting to a
degree that beats previous seasons. The
market is literally glutted with wild
ducks. Yesterday Brakeman Brothers
shipped a large number of teal and canvas
backs to New York, reserving mallards
and sprig-tails for home patrons.
The canvas backs are the choice birds,
bringing from $40 to ST per dozen in New
York. Teal are next in point of value.
The scarcity of game seems to govern
prices, regardless of fairness or favor,
with many purchasers. The sprig-taus
are good ducks, but their university
cheapens them.

A DISSENTING OPINION.

| This opinion was agreed to by only two
| of the Observation-Disclosures j. w
| Wilson and Dr. d. II. Abbott Com
missioner Ohio Wilson would not, after
considerable discussion, give his assent to
it. and filed the following dissenting
opinion:
Referring TO the matter hereto at
tached. | concur in the statement of
facts of statistics of comparative rates
from 1891 to 1896, also as to 1872, etc.
"As to the conclusions dissent, as any
comparative statement of population per
square mile is not the proper comparison,
but rather a comparison of population per
mile of road is the correct standard of
comparison.
Further, l have not had proper time
to consider and digest the arguments
pro and con before the Commission, nor
to examine the reports for the railroads
for the present year (which are now in,
save for the second quarter of 1897 now
in the possession of the Board.
Until the judgment of the Board as to
the assessments are given, can not
intelligently say what would be the
proper rate to be fixed"
In making the above comparisons, and
arriving at the figures given, the Com
mission had the use Of a number Of very
valuable tables and charts recently pre-
pared by Mr.. III. c. Brown, the very
clever and efficient clerk to the Com
mission.
The first of these is eolored chart
showing at a glance the freight and pas
senger earnings, the revenue from each
passenger and each ton Of freight car
ried, number OF miles Of line, etc, of the
roads in all the States Of the Union and
OF the United States.
FINE CLERICAL WORK.
From this chart the following figures Of
interest are taken:
The freight earnings per mile of road
in the United States is "a, 1S0.24; in
North Carolina it is $2,O6S.O8 per mile.
The passenger earnings per mile in
the United States Is 81, 764.30; in North
Carolina it Is $3.50 per mile.
Average revenue from each ton of
freight carried in the United States ID
$1.05; in North Carolina it Dc $1.10.
Average revenue from each passenger
carried in the United States is 40 cents;
in North Carolina it is SO cents.
One of the tables prepared by Mr..
Brown for the use of the Commission
compares the freight and passenger
rates ON all the different roads Of the
States, for each year from 1866 to 1896.
Another table shows the valuation for
taxation of the railroads in all the
States of the Union, also the net earn
ings per mile and the capital stock and
taxes paid.
A third statement shows the freight
rates Of the different States as COM
pared with similar rates in North Caro-
lima.

We may pick up something tlere'
though | doubt it."
1t was easy enough to find the spot
desired, for quite crowd of people had
gathered under the elevated track, and
two policemen seemed to be trying to
disperse them.
Where did the fellow go that got
off that train?' asked Hendricks of a
policeman. Il am detective
Both the policemen stared.
"Was YOU chasin imp" asked one of
them, in astonishment.
'Yes Where did he go?"
"IIe called cab and got in it. He
self little and wanted to go home"
did you hear the direction he gave
the driver?"
"No; did you, John?"
The other policeman shook his head.
81 couldn't hear, the crowd kept up
such a racket: What's the chap done?'
Hendricks ignored the question, and
at once went up in the estimation Of
both the policemen.
"Do you know the cabman?"
The policemen exchanged question
ing glances, and then answered.: NO"
A street urchin spoke up. Its one of
Jimmy McGuire's rigs, but don't know
who was drivin' it,
Jimmy turns 'em off and hires new
ones every day" explained one of the po-
licemen. Hendricks thanked them and
turned away, a look of disappointment
on his face. They had gone block
back towards the elevated station which
they had Just left, before he spoke.
Then he said: ga
81 shall leave you, doctor. 1 know you
want to get back to business, and you
can't really help me just now.'
DR.. Lampllin understood that the de-
tective warted to be left alone, so he
held out his hand.
''You are going to follow up that cab,
l suppose said he, "and find out where
the man was taken"
There would be no use in that"
Hendricks replied. "He was simply
driven to some railway or ferry station,
and will soon be in New York, lost like
needle in a haystack. The truth is,
] have got to find some other line to
work on. If the fellow should take a
notion TO leave the city, he might never
he caught, and we should not be able to
help that young man and his girl out Of
their trouble. I'll see you before long

Hendricks walked back to 234 Union

by the hand. She was pale, and her eyes
were red with weeping.
Come IN she said, coldly. 81 sup

now want to search the house,

madame replied the detective, as the
three went into the parlor. "But | did
not come to do anything that would be
unpleasant to you. l came chiefly to
apologize for my roughness just now
If l had reflected, l would not have
ushed you aside as, did; but, as it
was, it seemed our only chance of Sc
curing him, and we already had been
delayed"
''Why, you must be-" She paused.
"Minard Hendricks" the detective in
terpolated.

her arm around her son and drawing
him to her 81 knew it was you, because

so serious? At first l hoped it was
only some trifling act of misconduct;
but if-if-I suppose you are employed
only on criminal cases. Has he"
Hendricks sat down.
81 am afraid it is a serious charge,
Mrs. Champney; but it is only a charge,
you know; of course he has not yet been
convicted"
The woman's face fell, and The arm
around the boy was trembling visibly.
What has he done?" she gasped. "You
may as well let it out. l want to know
What has he done?"
There was certain man whom your
brother hated" replied the detective.
