The Tkibcxe learns with regret of
the death of Jno. L. "McAllister at his
borne in Fox Creek precinct on Sunday
last. The cause of death was that subtle
foe, cancer of tbe stomach, with which
he had been afflicted for some time, and
for which he had lately been treated at
Kansas City but without relief. Mr.
McAllister was well known in the county
having filled the position of county com
missioner for one term. He was a man
possessing a high order of Intelligence,
excellent business ability and straight
forward in all dealings with men. By his
death the county loses one of its most
valued citizens. He leaves a wife and
several children to mourn his loss. The
funeral was held yesterday afternoon.
I. A. Fort, who has been organizing
local irrigation societies in western Ne
braska -for several weeks past, has
about completed the work in that line
and will issue a call for a general irriga
tion convention to be held in this city on
December 19th, in which will be repre
sented delegates from different sections
of westem.Nebrsska. It is difficult to
predict the outcome of this convention,
but it will at least result in a thorough
agitation of the irrigation question in '
the western part of the state, and it is
likely steps will be taken toward secur
ing state or national aid to help the
suiter along. Unless there is a radical
change in climatic influences, the finan
cial salvation of the western Nebraska
.farmer must come through irrigation.

excellent taste in the selection of goods
for tbe Christmas trade and displays a
line of novelties which cannot fail to
please. His selections include nothing
but late designs and patterns in ster
ling and plated ware, and embrace al
most everything from a thimble or
stamp box to elegant pieces of table ser
vice. Tho prudent buyer takes time by
the forelock and purchases holiday gifts
in advance of Christmas and thus se
cures the choicest of tbe stock. Visit
Mr. Clinton's store now aud you will
find an assortment of goods from which
you will experience no difficulty in se
lecting presents for those whom you
wish to remember.
Observer Piercy has handed us data
concerning December weather as taken
from tbe records of his office for the past
nineteen years. Compared one year with
another, the temperature of December
is very uncertain; for instance, the
average temperature for that month in
1889 was thirty-seven degrees, while the
average fo the same month in 1879 was
fifteen degrees. The lowest temperature
during any December occurred the day
before Christmas in 1879, when the ther
mometer dropped to twenty-four below
zero; the highest temperature during
the month was in 1890 when the mercury
ran up to ? eventy. December is usually
a dry month, the average precipitation
amounting to but little over one-half
inch of rain or melted snow. In 1877,
however, there was a fall of -3.86 inches.
On December 11th, 1386, over thirty
inches of snow fell. Tbe highest velocity
of tbe wind during any December was
seventy-two miles per hour on December
4th, 1877.

A Washington dispatch in yesterday's
Bee says: "In tho supremo court to-day
a decision wat rendered which is of gen
eral interest to all who have anything to
do with practical operation of railroad
property. It is important, especially to
train employes and section workmen.
The case comes f romthe supreme court of
South Dakota, and is known as that of
the widow of John Elliott against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
company. John Elliott was a section
boss. He and bis men wero nt work in
a little town in South Dakota. While a
fceight crew was engaged in switching
about the yards a running or flying
switch wa3 being performed, which is a
violation of the law in that state and
many other states . Seeing his hand car
and two of his men were in danger, by a
flying section of the freight train, Elli
ott tried to cross tho switch in time to
give warning, but was caught by another
section of tho train engaged in the act
of making a running Bwitch and was
killed. The South Dakota court held
that Elliott was guilty of contributory
negligence, in that it was not necessary
for him to endanger his life as ho did,
and therefore refused to give his widow
the damages sought. Thoro wero other
grounds sot up against the suit by the
railroad company, but the supreme
court of tho United States, in affirming
tho decision of tho court below, stood
upon the plea of contributory negli
gence." -

The way people abuse 'their eyes ie
amazing. They try them, strain them
aad overtax ttiero ia all raaaaer of ways,
aad whea -their eyes begia to weakea
with ill usage and' age they are too proud
to give them the aid of glasses which
they crave. Spectacles proclaim the
defect which they mitigate, and aro
looked upon by those whose minds aro
as weak as their eyes as a badge of in
firmity, and sooner than saddlo their
noses with spectacles they saddlo their
lives with semi-blindness.
Eminent scientific authorities have
recently demonstrated that spectacles
which are properly adapted to the eyes
can only bo secured through the pro
fessional services of an opthamologist
that is to say, through the assistance of
ono who is skilled and actually engaged
in the study of that branch of physical
scionce which treats of the nature and
properties of light. It is therefore ob
vious that optical defects of vision can
only justifiably be relegated to the
charge of strictly scientific men, which
credulous persons should demand be
fore placing confidence in a superficially
informed optician.
Now, call on Prof. Hirschberg, the
recognized eyo expert, at the store of
his agent, A. F. Streitz, of North Platte,
D3C. 18th and 19th; and be fitted with a
pair of his non-changeable spectacles or
oyc glasses. Remember tho dates, Dec.
18th and 19th. Read testimonials:
Bexsox, Minx., Aug. 30, 1893.
To Whom it May Concern:
This is to certify that for thirteen
years I have been partially, and part of
the timo nearly totally blind. During
that time I havo spent much timo aud
money with tho best oculists in the stato
but to the time of meeting Dr. H.
Hirschberg I had received so littlo bene
fit that I felt that thero was no ueo in
further treatment in my case. But
fortunately for mo I met tho doctor a
few days since and was induced to try
once more. In not to exceed fifteen
minutes from tho time I entered tho
consultation room ho had fitted me with
glasses with which I can read and writo
with as little fatigue as I could before I
ever had any trouble with my eyes. I
cannot recommend him too strongly to
those who are in need of tho services of
a thoroughly competent oculist.
J. S. Eaton, M. D.

Prof. Hirschberg, Dear Sir: Iliad the
privilege of examining a stock of your
non-changeable glasses, and tako pleas
ure in recommending them to the public.
They are, in workmanship and matorial,
superior to any I have ever seen. I pro
pose to use them in my prescription work
hereafter. Yours" truly,
John McLean. M. D.
