SAD UNI) OF DAY'S HINTING.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING AT POUT TKE
VEKT0N FRIDAY MORNING.
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

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. An item of consi
derable Importance. The annual live
stock exhibition at Chicago is a hig
thing for the country, the farmers and
railroads. Don't forget that for a

'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

With Devoe lead and .iiic this year; and
some of them don't turn out satisfac
tory two or three years from now. Our

We have been in business, we and
