Poker playing is not quite as fash ion able in town as in the palmy days of the '80s, but it is said quite an interesting game was played last weok between a couple of western men and a trio of jpcal players, in which one of the former shoved eleven .hundred dollars to the center of the table and thia amount was called by a North Platte man, who won the bet.

Western Nebraska is to be tbo 6cene of operations of a counterfeiting gang, according to a "straight tip" given to the chief of police cf South Omaha.

Their scheme is to start a bank in some western town, and also bay live stock, using good money for a time, ard then pay for a couple of train loads of Btock with the "queer," and get oat of the country before it is discovered. It sounds rather fishy. The irrigation convention to be held in this city on the 19th inst. is attract ing much more attention than oven the "most asBguine expected. The daily and weekly papers of the- state are taking tho matter up and making comments as to the great and lasting benefits to be derived from such a meeting. The Den ver News devotes a half column editorial article to the meeting, while several prominent Kansas dailies are giving the convention wide publicity. In fact from every section comes the news that the .best wishes of the people are for a suc cessful meeting. Many men of promi nence in Nebraska, Kansas and Colora do have written that they will be present and lend their aid in organizing a state association. Representatives from the Omaha Commercial Club are 'also ex pected. Indications are that the meet ing will be exceptionally well attended, and we trust that many of our enterpris ing farmers in the county will make it a point to be present. There is no ques tion before the neonle of the state. especially those of the -western half, that is of such vital importance as is that of irrigation.

Wood, Postmaster Take Care of Your Eyes. The way people abuso their eyes is amazing. Tney try them, strain them and overtax them in all manner of ways, and whon their eyes begin to weaken with ill usage and age they are too proud to give them the aid of glasses which they crave. Spectacles proclaim tho defect which they mitigate, and are ooked upon by those whoso minds are as weak as their eyes as a badge of in firmity, and sooner than saddlo their noses with spectacles they saddle their ives with somi-blindness. Eminent scientific authorities have recently -demonstrated that spectacles which are properly adapted to the eyes can only be secured through the pro fessional services of an opthamologist that is to say, through the assistance of one who is skilled and actually engaged in tho study of that branch of physical science which treats of the nature and properties of light. It is therefore ob viouB that optical defects of vision can only justifiably be relegated to tho charge of strictly scientific men, which credulous persons should demand be fore placing confidence in a superficially informed optician. Now. call on Prof. Hirscbberg, the recognized eye expert, at tho store of lis agent, A. F. Streitz, of North Platte, Dae. 18th and 19th, and be fitted with a pair of his non-changeable spectacles or eye glasses. Remember the dates, Dec 18th and 10th.

Hirschb?rg I had received so little bene fit that I felt that there was no use in urther treatment in my case. But fortunately for me I met tho doctor a few days since and was induced to try onco more. In not to exceed hfteen minutes from the time I entered tho consultation room he had fitted me with glasses with which I can read and write with as little fatigue as I could before I over had any trouble with my eves. I annot recommend him too strongly to those who aro in need of the services of a thoroughly competent oculist. J. S. Eaton, M. D. MoOIiHEAD, MlXX.
