DONALDSON. Dr. Nelson TP. Donaldson died at his home in this city at 10:15 Wednesday night of locomotor ataxiaa disease with which he had been troubled for thirteen years and which followed an attaek of- diphtheria. During these years he suf fered much from tha disease, on several occasions tne attacus were so severe as to confine him to bed for several weoks and place his life in jeopardy. For two or three years past the Doctor's condi tion had Gradually grown worse, and aboiit two week's ago he had an unusual- ly severe attack, and though he main- tamea nis courage uis constitution was too weakened to withstand the strain, and he died in the agony, of excruciat ing pain.

His kindly disposi tion, his courteousness to all, and his ever pleasant smile and ever kind word won him the friendship of every acquaint ance. Unowing the intense nam the Doctor almost constantly suffered,it was a source of surprise to his friends that he could maintain bis pleasant attitude and genial disposition; forjit nearly al- t . ii i i i . ways nappens mat wuen tne oouy is in pain the disposition is ruffled; but such was not the case with the" Doctor. As a practioner he was verysuccessf ul and his kindly words and cheerful disposition ever had a wholesome effect upon hi3 patients. - i Dr. Donaldson was a true man; a man who we all esteemed; a man who we all will miss; the world was mado bettor by reason of him living.

SHAHAN, Imperial, Neb. While opening a can of concentrated lye, Mrs. Cummins, of Plattsmouth, had the misfortune to strike the bor which contained the lye in such a manner as to send a part of the contents full in her face. The dangerous power lodged in both of her eyes and she suffered tho most intense pain before medical as sistance could be secured. The physi cian did all in his power to save the sight, but one of her eyes looked as though the sight could not be restored. On consulting an oculist Mrs. Cummins leaped to her sorrow that the eye which had suffered most could nof be restored, and the other one is quite bad ly injured. BROEKER'S SUITS ALWAYS FIT.
