It is said that Owen Bros, have been awarded the contract for grading1 a double track between Sidney and Sunol, a distance of twelve miles. The eastern part of the state was visited by an unusually heavy rain storm Sunday, the fall at Syracuse for twenty-four hours being five and one-half inches. Much dam age to crops ensued. J. J. O'Rourkc spent Saturday and Sunday in town. He is census enumerator in Cottonwood, Osgood and Plant precincts, and says he in about half through with the work. It requires a great deal of traveling to cover his district. Cullius Bros, show exhibited in Gaudy yesterday. The pull through the sand hills must have been a hard one. It is wonderful that the horses with the show look as well as they do, considering- the work they do in transporting the show wagons through the sand hills of western Nebraska. Local fusionibts arc working hard to induce a, sufficient' number of men to fill a Pullman car to at tend the national convention at Kansas City, but they arc still con siderably short of the require ! number.

Mrs. Harry Kitzmiller was in stantly killed Friday afternoon by the accidental discharge ot a shot gun, the accident occurring north of the north river bridge, About two o'clock Mr,.and Mrs. Kilzmiller left the city for a drive in the country, taking with them a ham mcrlcss double-barreled shot gun. When reaching a point a short distance north of the bridge, they saw a bird, and Mrs. Kitzmiller, who was quite an adept with a revolver and target rille, expressed a desire to try her skill with a shot gun. The request was granted and getting out of the buggy she fired one barrel. She then placed the gun in the buggy with the barrel resting on the scat, climbed in and was just ready to sit down when the horse gave a budden jerk and the remaining cartridge in the gnu exploded just how will never be known. The charge struck Mrs. Kitzmiller on the right side of the head jiiBt below the car, carrying away a part of the skull and making a gaping wound from which the brain oozjd forth. Death was instantaneous. A yountr man bv the name of Cully who was riding through the country heard the shot ana saw the horse running rapidly. lie sionpeu tne norse aim totinci .Mr, Kitzmiller almost paralyzed with agony, supporting his wife on his arm. Gully led the buggy witn the o.'cupants to town, when the husband was taken in charge by relatives and the body removed to Warner's' undertaking rooms and properly cared for. Later in the afternoon a coroner's jury was empaneled, the testimony of Cully taken, and then ad journed until the following after noon when a statement was made by Mr. Kitzmiller. The verdict of the jury was that death ensued from the accidental discharge of a gun. Mr. and Mrs. Kizmillcr had been married but a few weeks, their tnaritial relations had been happy and blissful, and the sad end of that relationship is an awful blow to the young husband. To him and the relatives of his wife the deepest sympathy of our people go forth. The funeral was held from the Episcopal church yesterday aftct noon, a large concourse of people attending. Gentry's Dog .mil Tony Show. Prof. Gentry's Dig and Pony Show which will exhibit in North Platte Saturday, June 23rd, aftcr jioon and evening, is perhaps one of the most wonderful of its kind in the United States. The intelligence of these ponies and dogs is truly wonderful, and it is all done by kindness. Every animal answers promptly to his name, and docs everything he is told to do except talk. Prof. Gentry has 124 dogs, 57 ponies, 25 monkeys and 2 Binall performing elephants 42 inches and 45 inches high. The ponies are all Shetland except "Eureka" and "Dotty Dimple." which are East India "horses," the only two of the kind in the country. The dogs comprise every species from the Russian poodle to the Indian cur, but they arc smart. The backward somersault, the lame dog, the clown dogs, the leaping of the troupe ot grey-hounds, and above all, the trick of "Omaha" and "Major" and the remarkable act ing of "Colonel" arc very fine. The pony drill is superb, as is all the mischief making of "The Tough." betweeiTthe RIVERS. Fall grain begins to assume a golden cast. Remember your annual school meeting next Monday. June 25lh. The frame to John Feekeu's new new barn is visible over the hill, The majority of the first crop of alfalfa in the valley is in the stack.

Erickson, of the Nichols sec tion house, have been tenderly caring for a new heir. Mrs. N. B.
