The Youths Companion in 1902.

To condense in paragraph the an
nouncement of "The Youths Com
panion" for 1902 is not easy. Notonly
will nearly two hundred story-writers
contribute to the paper, but many o.
the most eminent of living statesmen,
iurists, men of science and of letters
scholars, sailors, soldiers and travellers
including three members of the Presi
dents Cabinet.

military and naval topics the Secretary
of the Navy will tell "How Jack
Lives" Julian Ralph, the famous wal
correspondent, will describe "How Men
Feel in Battle" and Winston Spencer
Churchill, p. NJ, whose daring escape
from a Boer prison pen is well remem
bered, will describe some experiences
"On the Flank Of the Army"
And this is but a beginning OF the
long list. A complete announcement
will be sent to any address free. The
publishers also announce that every
new subscriber who sends $l.75 for the

sues for the remaining weeks of 1901

Government Estimate of the Corn Crop.

The Agricultural Department at
Washington has just issued its estimate
of the years corn crop, showing total
yield for all the states of l,25O, ,597 ,W
bushels. OF this the statement shows
that Nebraska, Notwithstanding the
dry weather which prevailed during
July, will furnish l03, 367, 600 bushels, OF
more than one-tenth of the entire crop.
This is interesting rs showing the
wonderful recuperative properties Ct
the Nebraskan soil. There is probably
no other state in the Union which
would, under the circumstances, make
such magnificent showing. Nebras-
ka is a grand state and is rapidly i'll
creasing in wealth and population.

SAD END OF DAYS HUNTING.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING AT PORT TIRE.
vERTON FRIDAY MORNING.
Clayton Neitz, Aged IL Years, Shot While
Hunting Ducks with DR.. ]. E. Bogar--
Wound Not Serious but When Placed .
under Ether, He Died from the
Shock, Never Regainins
Consciousness.

! SOuSeiVuSuCSs.
An accidental shooting at Port
Treverton, Friday morning, was fol-
lowed by the death of Clayton Neitz,
the interesting II year old son of w. l.
Neitz, of that place.
Early Friday morning DR.. J. f..
Bogar, a prominent physician and
citizen of Port Treverton, accompanied
bs young Neitz, secured n boat and
went duck hunting on 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 Inortally wounded and
1t 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 boy in eagerness threw himself far
out over the edge of the boat to reach
the duck and striking the gun in some
unknown manner it exploded, the
charge entering his right leg at the
knee making a deep aud ugly wound
but not injuring the bone. The boy
displayed considerable nerve and meyer
once lost consciousness. Stopping the
flow Of blood as best he could 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 boy seemed to be suffering great
amount of pain. Afteran examination
of the wound it was decided to place
the patient under the influence of
ether while dressing the wound which
was accordingly done. When the
wound had been properly dressed
which proved not to be of serious
nature an effort was made to restore the
boy to conciousness 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
effects of the ether. No censure is
placed on DIR. Bogar who feels very
much distressed over the sad termina-
ton of what was to be day of pleas
ure for both himself and the victim Of
the strange accident.

THE RAILROADS AND THE CHICAGO LIVE
STOCK SHOW.
Why the Railroads Encourage Exhibitions OF
This Character.


An official of the G. b. Il q. 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 4.
at is very simple" was the answer.
"Dlring 1900 our line brought into
Chicago 6l2,OOO head of cattle, and
their estimated weight was 734, 400, 900
pounds. Now suppose by interesting
the farmers from all over our 5000
miles of road, they come to the live
stock, see the splendid exhiblts-the
largest and finest in the world-realize
the difference between high grades and
scrubs, see the extravaganza ofputting
good feed into poor stock, and so by EN-
couraging them to breed better animals
which when fat would weigh 10 per
cent. more than the old sort, it is plain
that our tonnage Oh this class of freight
wonld be increased to the extent of
70, ,44O, 600 pounds. An item of consi-
derable importance. The annual live
stock exhibition at Chicago is a big
thing for the country, the farmers and
railroads. Don't forget that for a
minute"

The moral atmosphere will be elevated
after that time, for all liars will move

THE CIRCUS.
The Walter l.. Main Show Good One.
Tho Crowd Not Large but Orderly.

| Tuesday was circus day, and while
the crowd did not seem TO be u circus
| crowd, yet the showmen had no Just
grounds for complaint, for considering
! the threatening weather and the fact
that one of, If not the oldest,
largest and best circuscs on the road, i,
Robinson's, and one as thoroughly ad-
! vertised as is possible TO advertise it.,
! was to follow within the next few days,
the crowd was about what one would
expect, ana the profits after the days
performances showed up in favor Of the
circus management.
The crowd WAS an unusually quiet
one, only two arrests, and they for petty
otfencrs, were made during the day:
! and but little drunkenness was to be
seen. This is doubtless due to the fore
sight OF the board Of control III having
; the dispensary closed n great favor,
, and one that is appreciated by the bet
| ter element of our people.
The Walter l.. Main people show
| what they advertise. They fulfilled
| their promises tts presented on the bill
| boards-more SO than any circus we
have ever attended. 1t is an honest,
clean show. The collection Of animals
was small, but the specimens of each
were good, and the actors showed much
skill in performing their wonderful
feats. rhc trapcse performers, bicycle
riders, slack and tight wire walkers,
uccrObatic fcats and horse e-back riding.
| have never been exccllcd by any that
ever appeared in this city. Perhaps
the feature that attracted the most ad-
miration and clicitcd the most applause
from the thousands present, was the
drill Of the trained horses, said to be
63 in number. They were crowded
into circle, hardly large enough for
them to stand in comfortably, and at
the command Of their trainer they
galloped around in opposite directions,
making Ggurcs with the accuracy Of
human beings. This act alone is worth
the admission charged by the Main
circus.
The crowd that attended the show
was well pleased, the management Of
The Main circus is composed Of Il num-
bcr OF very pleasant gentlemen, and in
this connection, we would especially
mention Mr.. J. d. Carey, the press
agent, who was especially considerable
