DRAGS TOWARD HIM A LOADED SHOTGUN

Knee r'nlln from the
llonl llrail.
Ilnlph Uedmun, 1G years old, accidentally
shot himself at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing whllo hunting on Cut Oft lake. Ho
reached forward, eelzed a fowling piece
which lay ncrors the seat of the boat and,
ns ho draped It toward him, the hammers
caught and the left barrel of the weapon
was discharged. He received the charge In
tho face, Tho shock caused him to stagger
und ho fell from tho boat.
His companion grasped the dying boy by
tho hair as ho arose In the water and held
bis head Just above the surface. With his
light hand ho then manipulated one of tho
cars and towed the body to shore.
Umll Larson, custodian of tho boats, was
called to assist In drugging thu body upon
the platform. Hy this time life was quite
extinct.
Tho dead boy Is the son of Ocorgo A. Iled
man, a live stock dealer living at 620 South
Twonty-nlnth avenue.
Karly In tho morning four boys set out from
town to go duck hunting on Cut Off lake.
Tho party comprised, besides Ilcdman and
Arnold, Arthur Welsh, 10 yoars old, son of
L. A. Welsh of tho Weather bureau, and
Howard Blackburn, 14 years old, son of At
torney T. W. Wackburn. Arriving at tho
lake, at the foot of Ames avenue, they di
vided Into pairs, Welsh and Illackburn se
cured a boat first and pushed out. Hodman
and Arnold had some trouble In choosing a
launch and In this Interval tho party becamo
separated. Ily the tlmo tho socond pair had
selected a boat tho first was well out upon
the lako and had passod out of sight around
a mlnlaturo peninsula.
Itcdman nnd Arnold threw their hunting
paraphernalia Into tho skiff. This Included
two double-barreled breech-loading shot
gucH, a quantity of shells, two pairs of
wadcra and some decoy ducks,
I lMV It llUltllPIIPll.
Young Arnold seated hlmsolf In the stem
of tho boat and took tho oars, itedman oc
cupied tho short bench at the bow and 6at
facing his companion. Arnold had ta'kc'n
but a few strokes when Hcdman spoke tt
him:
"Is your gun loaded and cocked?" ho
osked.
"No," Arnold answered, "Its loadoa, but
not cocked."
Redman's pleco was lying across the,- mld
dlo seat of tho boat, tho stock resting upon
tho bottom, tho muzzlo pointing upward at
a slant of about forty-flvo degrees. As Ar
nold ceased speaking Hedraan aroao from his
seat, leaned forward, took hold of tha bar
rels of bio gun and dragged It toward him.
Tho hammors caught on tho bench. Thero
was a loud report. Hodman staggered and
fell from tho boat Into tho water. He sank
Immediately. Upon tho surface of tho lake,
marking tho, spot where ho went down, tho
wator was colored a livid red.
A fow seconds later tho body arose. Ar
nold grasped It by tho hair, held tho head
nnd faco nbovo tho surface and then with
bin freo hand managed to work the boat back
to shore.
Hosldes Arnold tho only oyowltncss of the
tragedy was a 6-year-old iboy, Albert Han
son, who was stnndlng on tho shore. He
corroborates tho foregoing account.
Tho pollco department and coroner wcro
notinod by telephono. Sergeant Hudson and
Ofncor Ilclglemun wcro sent to tho sceno,
and soon after tholr arrival tho coroner's
wagon carno nnd tcok tho body to Coroner
Swanson's undertaking rooms. A brother of
Iledman who works In Cudahy'o packing
houso In South Omaha was notified of tho
accident. .

Tho faco of tho dead boy Is frightfully
disfigured. Tho charge entered at tho left
of tho noeo, a Ilttlo bolow the eye, and tho
bono beneath tho flesh 1 caved in. (As tho
muzzle of tho gun was probably not moro
than eighteen Inches from his face at tho
time of tho accident tho hair and eyebrows
aro singed and thu flush is pitted by tho
powder.
An examination of tho shotgun ohows that
both hammers descended upon tho shells, as
tho caps of both shells aro Indonted. The
shell In tho right barrel, howover, failed to
explode Upon both hammers Is paint
rubbed from tho seat ncrons which tho gun
was dragged, and In tho bottom of tho boat
was found a splinter torn from tho bonch
by tho gnu hammors.
Tho dead boy was a student at tho Farnam
school and was considered by his teachers
very bright and promising. His companion
had been his friend slnco early boyhood.
The parents of the dead boy called at tho
coroner's office to view tho remains. Asked
it they desired an inquest they replied that
they did not, as they had every reason to
'bcllevo tho affair was purely accidental.
Tho funeral will be early next week.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Bymptniim of u Very Co nun on Trouble f
Thero Is no dlsoaso so common In tho
United States as catarrh becauso It appears
In so many forms and attacks so many
different organs.
It Is a common mlstako to supposo that
catarrh Is confined to the noso and throat.
Any Inflammation of tho mucous membrane
wherever located accompanied by abnormal
secretions, la catarrh. Catarrh of stomach
or bladder, or Intestines Is nearly as com
mon as nasal catarrh and much more serious
although It Is true that stomach catarrh and
catarrh of other Internal organs Is tho result
of neglected nasal catarrh,
A new remedy has recontly appeared
which so far as tested seems to be remarka
bly effective In promptly curing catarrh,
wherever located. The preparation Is sold
by druggists genorally under the name at
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and In addition
to' being very palatable and convenient, pos
sesses extraordinary merit, In many cases
giving immediate relief from tho coughing,
hawking and constant clearing of tho throat
and head, thoso symptoms with which every,
ono Is familiar who has ever Buffered from
colds In tho head and throat.
Catarrh Is simply a continuation of these
symptoms until tho trouble becomes chronic
nnd grows gradually worso from year to
year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of
Hydrastln, Kucalyptol, Oualacol and similar
antiseptics and catarrh specifics, from which
it will bo seen that no secret Is made of the
ingredients and also that no mineral poisons
aro used, us Is tho case with many well
known catarrh medicines,
Kor catarrh of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes, for cntarrh of stomach, Intestines or
bladder no preparation Is so safo and gives
euch rapid and permanent results as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets,
All druggists sell them at 50c for full sized
package. You can use them with assurance,
that you will not contract tho cocaine or
morphine habit as the results from this
catarrh euro arc apparent from tho first
ily' use.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
"Tho big republican rally at Woodman
halt Friday night Is already bearing good
results," said H. A. Carpenter, manager of
tho republican campaign yesterday. "As has
been noted In The Uee tho principles of tho
party and the Idea of reform In municipal
affairs were tho leading themts of the vari
ous speakers and on account cf tho present
condition of affairs residents generally aro
looking to tho republican party tor relief."
Continuing, Mr. Carpenter said that during
the day qulto a number of democrats, mem
bers of tho Democratic Municipal club and
others not .members of any club called at
tho headquarters In tho Murphy block und
expressed themselves as willing to not only
voto tho republican ticket, but to work tor
the candidates.
Through .tho addressen of .the different
speakers attention has been forcibly called
to tho extremely rotten condition of tho
police, garbago and street departments. The
promlso of Candidate Kelly to make n clean
ing out in itheso departments caused, in a
great measure, tho turning of democrats to
tho republican ticket.
iHcretoforo It has been customary for can
didates for mayor to get out and hustlo for
votco on itho strength of their personal popu
larity, and tho candidate whoso barrel held
tho most usually won. Tho republican
nomlneo for mayor, (A. It. Kelly, has estab
lished a precedent In his mayoralty contest
that should secure for him tho confidence
nnd endorsement of overy taxpayer and resi
dent of tho city.
In speaking of .this attltudo cf Mr. Kelly
Editor Dennett of tho Sun said last even
ing: "Never beforo has a candldato for
mayor In thla city submitted to tho voters
a full and. 'complete declaration ot prin
ciples, which ho as mayor would enforce,
and maintain."
Ono of tho Important planks of this. plat
form reads as follows; "Tho city of South
Omaha should bo governed In tho Interest
of all its citizens without class distinction.
No favors should 'bo granted, tho rich that
aro withheld trom .tho poor. Tho welfare
of tho paoplo is, and of right ought to be,
paramount to personal interests."
Continuing. Mr. Dennett said that thcprln
clplo enunciated in tho foregoing paragraph
Is an important one, and its enforcement In
tho .management of tho affairs of tho city
moans that tho humblest of South Omaha's
citizens will receive proper and Just con
sideration In all matters.
Wr. Kelly has pledged that If elected he
will secure for tho taxpayers tho strictest
economy In tho matter of current expenses
and this Is a matter which is very much
sought after by tho rcoldonts at tho present
tlmo.
Other members on tho ticket have mado
similar pledges and their standing In tho
community Is evidence enough that theao
promises will bo 'fulfilled.
Frank Koutsky, tho candldato for city
treasurer, has 'been n business man hero
for years, and haa hosts of friends who
bcllovo him to bo strictly honest. Tho samo
may 1o said of Nela NeHon, candldato for
city clerk, and also of tho nominees for
councllmen and Hoard of Education.

" For two years I suffered from dyspepsia, until for days at a
time I could not cat a thing. I had tried nlmost everything, hut
could not get relief. I then thought 1 would try Avers Satsapa.
rilla, and In one week 1 was a new man. My tired feelings were
gone; I was stronger and better in everyway. I believe now If
it were not for this medicine I would be in a dying condition."
John MacDonald, Philadelphia, Pa., August lO, 1890.
" I was troubled with dyspepsia for over twenty years, and it got
so bad I came near dying. I was then induced, as a last resort,
to try Aycr's Sarsaparilla, and after using several bottles of it, I
became entirely well, and have felt well and strong ever since. I
have used It in my family the last fifteen years, during which time
we have not required the services of a doctor." I. B. Williams,

VOU arc as tired in the
arc at night, lou do not know what
it is to have sweet, refreshing sleep. You
have an appetite, yet your food seems to do
you no good. Your mind does not respond
quickly and your memory fails you. You
lack energy, the eyes droop, the head is
tired and heavy. You want to do many
things, yet do no one thing satisfactorily.
That's
Overwork
"Last July my oldest daughter was taken sick, and I m on
my feet, it seemed to me, night nnd day for weeks taking care of
her. I had no other help than that which my husband gave me,
and by tho time daughter began to mend I was dow n sick myself.
I was discouraged, and did not caro much whether 1 lived or died.
My husband got mo a bottle of Aycr's Sarsaparilla, and its effects
were magical. Two bottles of this medicine put mo on my feet
and made a well woman of mc." Janb M. Urown, Bcntonsport,
Iowa, Jan. 19, 1900.
" In 1S9S my daughter, after graduating, was taken down with
nervous debility. Sho had no .strength, no appetite; could not
sleep, and doctors did not seem to do her any good. At last, by
the advice of a friend, I pavo her Aycr's Sarsaparilla. After taking
two bottles of this medicine there was a decided improvement.
We followed up this treatment for two months, and my daughter
quickly recovered her health." Mrs. Ollii; Helmick, Gardiner,
Ore, Dec. so, 1899.
f
worry over trifles, and strange fan
cies, born of a disordered mind, rob
you of sleep. Things which would not
trouble you in the day take horrible shape
at night, and you get no benefit from your
sleep. Or you toss uneasily, asking for
morning to come. Sights and sounds annoy
you and stillness oppresses you. You com
plain of numbness and a prickling sensa
tion in the limbs.
That's
Nervous
Prostration
" During last year I was suffering with nervous prostration. Kor
weeks I grew worse, became thin, could not sleep, had 110 appetite,
and was in a wretched condition. After taking several kinds of
medicines without result, I took Ayer's Sarsaparilla witli more than
pleasing results. My appetite returned, I fclept .soundly, my strength
and weight increased, and now I am well and strong without the
slightest trace of my old trouble. Indeed, I would hardly believe
it possible for medicine to bring about such a change in any per
son." Clara Mealy, Winter Hill, Somerviile, Mass., December A
31, 1899.
