AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

Murdo, Sept 1S.-Wm. H. Weaver,
farmer residing six miles south of
Murdo, accidentally shot himself last
Wednesday afternoon and lived only
short time after the accident. The
accident happened about half mile
from his home and there were no eye
not known.
Mr.. Weaver had started to walk
over to the home of his brother, a cou-
pie of miles distant, and had taken
with him his shot gun, which was a
twelve guage Remington hammerless
pump gun, intending to use the gun
to shoot any game that he might see
on the way. He had been gone but
9 short time when he returned home
and informed his wife that he had
shot himself and told her to send for
physician. All that medical skill
could do was done for him, but he
lived only short time after the doc
tor arrived.
After being shot the wounded man
walked more than half mile to the
house and this walk, together with
the loss of blood had made him too
weak to offer any explanation of how
the accident happened. However,the
gun was found near fence and it is
presumed that it was discharged in
some manner while Mr.. Weaver was
climbing over the fence. The charge
OF shot entered the body just below
the ribs on the left side, passed up
ward thru the right lung, and lodged
in the right shoulder
The deceased leaves a wife and two
small children, but the family is well
provided for as they have considera-
Bile property besides insurance poll
cies amounting to $4,000

Proposed Amendment.

L. l. Wright, superintendent of pub.
lie instruction, in an interview with
the press correspondents today in rela-
ton to the proposed amendment to the
constitution relating to the distribution
of primary money, says:
II urge the adoption of the proposed
amendment because under the present
system of distribution large number
of school districts receive more primary
money than they use. The teachers
wages in the state approximate $4,000
600 annually. The amount of primary
money distributed annually approx.
mate $4,000, 600. There are approx
mately one thousand districts in tho
state which now have on hand enough
money or more than enough to pay the
teachers wages aed all tuition charges
for a period of two years in advance.
The census enrolment in these districts
approximate IS OOO If this amend.
ment shall be adopted, when we come
to distribute the primary money we
shall not count these $4,000 pupils in
making up the apportionment. Here
tofore, in making the apportionment
we have divided approximately $1,000.
90 by approximately $4,000. If this
amendment prevails, we shall divide
the $4,000 by SOL 1000. This will
make the per capita apportionmen,
larger by about eight per cent. Nc
primary money will go to these dis
tricts which have on hand enough
money to pay their expenses for two
years or more until their surplus ID
reduced to point sufficient for a two
year supply. They will then sgair
participate. All the money will bt
distributed to the districts which have
not two.year supply on hand. Thil
will insure the active use and expendi
ture of all the primary money distri
buted."

Are You Getting Anywhere1

You are rushing after riches, with grim look
ON your face;
You are spurred by one ambition, In your
breast peace has not place;
You have turned away from others whom you
chung to long ago.
You have ceased to find contentment in the
hooks you used to know;
You are straining, you are striving, through
the dark days aud the fair,
But oh, restless, eager brother, areyou getting
anywhere'
In your haste you have forgotten, how to linger
or to smile
When child looks up and greets you or would
claim your care awhile;
Though the wild rose sheds it's petals In the
lonely pasture still,
And glad breexes sway the blossoms tn.iths
orchard on the hill
You are too much In hurry, too much occupied
to care,
But, With all your eager efforts, are you getting
anywheres
You have turned away fromcpleasure, trouble
haunts you In your dreams;
1t Is long since you have fingered on the shores
OF shaded streams
= NOV w oihBinS W INC PcUUico lucy nave uiauo
so clean and white
And have polished at their leisure and their
pleasure day and nights
You have ceased to know the solace that is In
sweet. old air,
But with all your greedy grasping, are you
getting anywhereg
You have given up old fancies; you have left
old friends behind;
You are getting rich In pocket but you're poor
in heart and mind
You have lost the sense OF beauty In your haste
to get ahead,
And along the WAYS you travel, grief and
bitterness are spread
You no longer care how others bend beneath
the woes they bear,
But with all your cruel crowding. are you get
ting anywhere?
Out beyond you there is darkness that no
mornings light shall break;
In the distance there is silence that no song
shall ever wake:
At the journeys end dishonor waits for them
that day by day
Cheat their souls and starve their senses while
they hurry on the way;
You are passing many pleasures that you have
the right to share.
AS you rush to fill the hollow men will dig for
you somewhere.
