Clayton Neitz, Aged 12 tears, Shot While Hunting Ducks with Dr. J. K. Hogar Wound Not Serious but When Placed . under Ether, He Died from the Shock, Never Regaining Consciousness. An accidental sh. Kiting at Port MTreverton, Friday morning, was fol lowed by the death of Clayton Neitz, the Interesting 12 year old son of W, I. I Neitz, of that place Early Friday morning Dr. J. K. Bogar, a prominent physician anil citizen of Port Treverton, accompanied bs young Niitz, secured a boat and went duck hunting mi the river. After rowing about for some time the Doctor finally succeeded in shooting a large duck and the boy was very anxious to reach it thinking that per haps it was not mortally wounded and It would make good its escape. The doctor laid his double barrel breech loading gun down along side the boy and taking up the oars quickly rowed toward the wounded and struggling duck. When they arrived at the spot the hoy in eagerness threw himself far out over the edge of the boat to reach the duck anil striking the gun in some unknown manner it exploded, Un charge entering his right leg at the knee making a deep and ugly wound but not injuring the bone. The boy displayed considerable nerve and never once lost consciousness. Slopping I be llow of blood as best hecould under the circumstances the Doctor rowed to shore and the boy was taken to his home and preparations made to dress the wound. When the party arrived at the house the lxiy seemed to he suffering a great amount of pain. After an examination of the wound it was decided to place the patient under the influence of ether white dressing the wound which was accordingly done. When the wound had bean properly dressed which proved not to be of a serious DatUN an eitort was made to restore the boy to eoneiousncss but all efforts prov ed futile and he suddenly breathed his last while still In a half conscious state. His death is attributed to the shock and being unable to rally from the affects of the ether. No censure is placed on Dr. Bogar who feels very much distressed over the sad termina tion of what was to be a day of pleas ure for both himself and the victim of the strange accident.

The Agricultural Department at Washington has just Issued Its estimate of the year's corn crop, showing a total yield for all the slates of 1,250,597,000 bushels, Of this the statement shows that Nebraska, notwithstanding the dry weather which prevailed during July, will furnish 103,367,000 bushels, or re than one-tenth of the entire crop. This is interesting as showing the wonderful recuperative properties l the Nebraskan soil. There Is probably no oilier state in the Union which would, under the cricumstances, make such a magnificent showing. Nebras ka Is a grand state and is rapidly in creasing In wealth and population. THB RAILROADS AND THE CHICAGO LIVE stock snow. Why the Railrosds Encourage Bxblbltont of This Character. An official of the C. B. v i. was asked recently why his road took such an interest in the International Live Stock Exhibit which is to be held In Chicago, November 80 to December 7. "It is very simple," was the answer. "During 1900 our line brought into Chicago 012,000 head of cattle, and their estimated weight was 784,400,000 pounds. NOW Suppose by interesting the farmers from all over our s,00i miles of road, they come to the live stock, sec the splendid exhibits -the largest and finest in the world realise the difference between high grades and scrubs, see the extravagance of putting good feed into poor stock, and so by en couraging them to breed better animals which when fat would weigh 10 per cent, more man we om sort, 11 is piam that our tonnage on this class of freight would bo increased to the extent of 7:1,440,000 pounds.

Dear Sir: We want an agent in your town for the foremost paint in the world: Devoe lead and .inc. We be speak a few words to say how much moi'i- this means than simply the sale of good paint. Our agent has to administer this agreement with every customer. "if you have any fault to find with this paint, either now in putting it on, or hereafter In the wear,tcll your dealer about it. 'Wc authorize him to do w hat is right at our expense. We bet ic, you sec, the partner of every man that uses paint ; and the partnership last:i as long as he chooses to continue it. Suppose 100 jobs of painting aredolu With Devoe lead and .iiic this year; and some of them don't turn out satisfac tory two or three years from now. Our agent has got to ' do w hat is right at our expense." Of course this means that wc know our paint is going to turn out all rigid. We have been in business, we and our fathers in business, R" years; have made a great deal of paint; and have dealt with thousands and thou sands of people.
