Hunting Prospects Poor.

The hunting prospects this fall at the Kankakee are very slim, on account of low water. Parties who have visited the Kankakee say it is impossible to navigate anywhere owing to the mud and moss and weeds for the ducks to light on, where they will be out of danger of the hunter’s gun. The thousands of mud or rice hens there are having a grand jubilee and are in a perfectly safe location.
