A Man With tha Blo.es,
We have become pessimist enough
to believe that life itself is a humbug
that the man who makes the best of it
is the man who escapes being born.
We know not whence we came nor
whither we are going, but the most of
us get more shadow than sunsliine,
more cholera morbus than ice cream.
The moment that a man hits the globe
he starts for the grave, and his only
visible reward for long days of labor
and nights of pain Is an epitaph he
cannot read and a tombstone he does
not want Shelby News.
Brother, if you actually feel thus, we
are most sincerely sorry for you. Your
language indicates that you are in the
last stage of "ennui." This condition
of the system is often caused by bil
iousness or long-standing torpidity of
the liver. This may be corrected by a
change in your habits. Eat regularly
and sparingly ; drink no intoxicants;
eschew tea and coffee and all nar
cotics ; go to bed early and get up.in
the morning ; if necessary, take a little
medicine to assist nature, and in a
short time you will begin to look at
things through different spectacles,
and life will not seem to you the dis
mal failure that you pre f ess to think.
N. B. We make no charge for this
advice.
Tha Hat Problem.
An Indiana preacher has solved the
big bat question. He simply scats tl e
women on one side of the church and the
men on the other, so the women ran
look at each other's hate in peace, while
the men can have an unobstructed view
of the preacher. Norwalk Chronicle.
We advocate the separate seating of
the sexes In church, hats or no hats.
We place It on higher gronnds, however,
than It's being a mere matter of conven
ience. And we are no Quaker either.

The President's Return to Washington
Military Conrt of Inquiry Washington
State Prnaperlty--OolI Hauls In Ecnadoi
Comparisons of AdmlnlHtratlona.
Washington, April 3, 1899 Presi
dent McKinley has not locked for
work since his return to Washington,
but the statements sent out saying
that he was engaged in formulating
orders to send to Gen. Otis and that he
had about determined to issue a call
for the 35,000 volunteers authorized by
the army act of the last congress were
guesses wide of the mark. He has
sent no orders to Gen. Otis and has no
reason to do so. (ten. Otis is fighting
his campaign successfully, as his suc
cessive victories show, and there is no
intention to hamper him with orders
from Washington. As to calling for
the volunteers, that has not been ser
iously thought of. Representative
Hull, chairman of the military com
mittee of the last house,' who enjoys
the president's confidence, and who is
good authority, said: "What would
be the use of calling for more volun
teers? We could not send them to the
Philippines in time for service there,
as all th" advice indicates that the U.
3. forces are strong enough to crush
the insurrection."
Two representatives of the Cuban
Assembly are in Washington seeking
official recognition and the consent of
this government to an issue of Cuban
bonds, but they will get neither.
The military court of inquiry has
been taking testimony, in Washington,
all this week. Among the witnesses
was Gen. Eagan, who stated that he
made a mistake when he first testified
that the contracts required . beef to
keep seventy-two hours after leaving
the refrigerators, and that twenty-four
hours was the time he had agreed to.
Mr. W. R. Gay, U. S. District At
torney, who is at present in Washing
ton on bdsinuss, gives this pleasing
picture of, the state of Washington:
"With the acquisition of Hawaii, the
growth of our oriental trade, the prob
able retention of the Philippines, the
heavy Alaskan business incident to the
Klondyke boom, and the big wheat
crops that have lately blessed us, the
Hate of Washington is not only enjoy
ing prosperity, but Is sanguine of a
bright future. The McKinley adminis
tration fe 'very'-popular In1 bur stat..
and the foreign policy of the president
Is cordially indorsed. Washington, I
think, has got back into the republican
column to stay. Free silver with us is
the deadest sort of an issue and it
would toe impossible to interest the
,'eople in it again.
The following is taken from an offi
cial report of the U. 8. Consul-Gen-eral
to Ecuador: "The change by the
world to a gold basis has finally driven
Ecuador to adopt the same course, and
congress has Just enacted a law of
coinage which within two years
will place the mrnetary system on a
gold basis. Ecuador is the fourth
country of Latin-America to adopt
this measure, Venezuela, Costa Rica,
and Peru having already taken this
step. Brazil, Uruguay and Chile,
while nominally on a gold basis, are
really subject to the disadvantage of
paper money, because their internal
financial condition precludes an easy
conversion of the currency."
The public debt of the U. S. I an in
teresting study, presenting some valu
able object lessons in politics and gov
ernment administration. The total
public debt, less cash on hand, was on
March 1, the latest date for which offi
cial figures are obtained, tl, 157,904,392.
Of this $834,622,000 is chargeable to
the civil war; $'262,815,400 to the four
years of Cleveland s last administra
tion, and $193,366,000 to the war with
Spain. If each individual paid a pro
rata Bhare of the money needed to pay
the interest of the entire debt, the
charge would be about 63 cents a year.
Of this, 30 cents would go to pay the
costs of the civil war ; IS cents to pay
the cost of the last Cleveland adminis
tration, and 8 cents to pay the cost or
the war with Spain. No greater ob
ject lesson on the financial methods of
a democratic and of a republican ad
ministration could be found than is
furnished by the issues of bonds under
the last Cleveland administration and
under the present administration.
The annual interest charge on the
bonds issued by the last Cleveland ad
ministration, when the country was
peaceful and ought to have been pros
perous, is $11,492,616, while the annual
interest charged on the bonds issued
by the McKinley administration to
light a successful war amounts to only
5,800,r0. Yet, the amojnl of bonds
issued by the democrats only exceeded
he amount issued by tliH republican
by To8,940,450. McKinley sold 8 pei
ient bonds to the people ; Cleveland
sold A per cent bonds to asyndieah
of bankers. The total of our publii
debt Is a mere bagatelle compared
with our wealth and resources. The
continuation of the republican party in
power, which would mean continued
prosperity, would enable the'govern
ment to pay It ff in a few years.

We clip the following from the Daily
Journal, of Lawivnce; Kas., the pres
ent home of the Major, dated last Fri
day: ' ."- .. U ,
"The exclusive information contained
in the Journal '.'yesterday afternoon
that Major Wilder 3. Metcalf of this
oity had been seriously wounded in the
fighting near Manila, was supplemented
by the additional retails this morning,
that the wound hi received was in the
foot. ' The news v. uf distressing to the
whole of Lawrnc, for there is not a
better known man in the city, in a bus
iness or social vi'wy than Mr. Metcalf.
His retirement fr.'in the fighting field
leaves only Col, foneton of the regi
mental officers appointed by Leedy on
the firing line. '4 . , ,
When the news ;ame late in tne af
ternoon that Major Metcalf had been
wounded, his coiisia, Mr. L W. Met
calf, who is conducting his business
here, was in the Journal office, and was
the first to hear the information.
In connection u'.th the news that
Major Metcalf had been wounded, the
following from a ocertt article In the
Detroit Journal wij be of interest)
'The Twentieth Kansas is one of the
volunteer regimen doing good work,
and taking its shan in the fighting at
Manila. The regiment is finely disci
plined, credit for whloh is largely
given to Major Wilder S. Metcalf, who
for a long time wa the1 moving spirit
in the national guard of Kansas. This
fineofficer.it was t hoped, might have
been recognized hy an appointment to
the regular' army i under the new re
organization, and tf'mt may yet be done.
At any rate the olflcers of the regular
army appreciate hu work. Major Met
calf's home is at Lawrence, Kan., the
beautiful university' town, which sent
out an omisuttl ifhtnlier of men to fill
out the quota of tnv regiment;
A good ' officii is the, principal

the day of Aguinal io's two proclama
tions, January 9,:'the general orders
were to have mrt and ammunition
ready at a moinen j 1 notice to go to the
front. Some commanding officers of
companies and battalions lost their
heads when t:l general order was re
ceived. Such officnrs had their men In
the street under arAis all day. with 3(0
rounds of ammunition, several days
rations, and their Manket .roll, ; Think
of that in .a clicmitj like that of the
fnilippir-n. ' In m .Kansas battalion

cool, self-possessed and sensible. The
men of his battalian knew what to ex
pect, but were spared bodily fatigue
and useless physical distress. Every
man knew where his rifle and ammu
nition was, and Major Metcalf's batui
lion could have beaten the others, who
stood equipped and waiting with
heavy loads, to the front, because its
men were fresh and cool and not ex
cited.' "

Trip to California- Bet urn-Huns a Saw
Mlll-Ilurles the Dead-Always Voted
the Republican Ticket.
The subject of this sketch is one of
our oldest and best known citizens.
He was born in Rowsburg, Wayne
county Ohio, June 20, 1815. The fam
ily soon moved to Jackson township In
that county, where John .was reared
from infancy to manhood. In 1840 at
the age of twenty-five he came to
Wellington, where he was married the
same year to Adeline F. Couch, a twin
sister to our well-known townsman,
Albert F. Couch. The ceremony
which united these two young people,
was performed by Wm. Howk, Esq.,
justice of the peace.
Mr. Long established a little home
on East Main street near the Gannett
property, now occupied by Mr. Fred
Douglass, and then . commenced the
business of house-keeping and married
life. There they lived for the ensuing
ten years, when In 1850, Mr. Lonj!
was stricken with a fever, a con
tagious disease in those days, I. e.
the California fever. This resulted
in forming a party to go to the gold
diggings. This party consisted of the
following persons: From AVellington,
Rufua Herrick, Erastus Nickerson,
John Hardy, (who died in California)
and John Zent. From Huntington:
John and Joseph Ferris, Henry Wells,
Jesse Johnson, John and Mathias
Whiton, and a man named Kingsley.
This party reached the town of
Placerville, Cal., that year, after an
overland trip of about three months
duration, and commenced the business

of seeking their fortune. The subject
of our sketcli says he remained there
about two years, and while he did not
get rich he had considerable fun and a
good deal of experience.
On returning to Wellington in lfv2,
he went to work in a saw-mill one and
a half miles east of town, where he
worked fifteen years. On selling his
mill he moved to town, and located on
the corner of Elm and Union streets,
where he still lives, and where his wife
died twenty-two years ago.
Some time after this he was appoint
ed sexton of the cemetery and contin
ued in that position also fifteen years,
and during that time he buried 530
people, many of them people who had
been identified with the beginning and
growth of Wellington, and helped to
make it what it is today.
He had a family of eight children,
three only of whom are living: Mrs.
D. J. Battle and Mrs. E. M. McKinney
of Wellington, and Mrs. Helen Hoyt
of Norwalk.
Of late years, Mr. Long has given up
active labor, and turned over his work
to younger hands, and we know that his
surviving children will do all in their
power to smooth the pathway of his
declining years.
The accompanying cut was made from
a photograph taken quite recently and
represents the subject very much as
he appears today.
Mr. Long is not a member of any
church, but attends all and contributes
liberally according to his means for
their support.
He was the first man who paid his
money for The Enterprise thirty-three
years ago, and has voted the republi
can ticket ever since that party was
hborn, nearly 45 years.
In disposition, Mr. Long is rather
inclined to retire within himself, and
permit others to make the ad
vances, but when you know him, kind
and genial, a good neighbor, and a
firm friend. As such we are pleased
to know him and we bespeak for him
many years to go and come among us
and a peaceful setting of his earthly
sun.

THE PLOWEB FESTIVAL AT THE M.
K. CHCHCH.
The Committee In Charge Express Their
Thanks to All-Pine Floral Display -Ea-celleut
Music Good Attendance Cold
and Snow Ontaide-Waruith, Geniality
and Iteauty Indoors Pleasant Time All
Around.
The April Circle under whose aus
pices the Flower Festival was given
desire to acknowledge their obligation
to all who assisted in any way to help
make it a fine floral display, an agree
able social occasion, and a financial
success. Soloists, quartettes, orches
tral performers, piano players, flower
girls, table-waiters and the faithful
ones who supplied them ; the generous
public without whose presence all else
would have been almost in vain, and
the un-named workers who, with the
florists, "Townsend and Yale", were
responsible for every detail, deserve
and have the gratitude of their co
workers. The floral display was beau
tiful and ample. The music both day
and evening, choice, and the mingling
of the people from first to last, free,
hearty and delightful.
The comments on the entertainment
were most kindly and gratifying.
With cold in the air and snow on the
ground, the fragrance of hyacinths,
the brilliant coloring of azaliaa, cin
erarias, carnations, rests, geraniums,
petunias and primroses was finely set
off by the luxuriance of ferns, palms
and begonias. The national colors
were in evidence draped from the gal
lery, and altogether there was no
pleasanter place in Wellington in
which to spend the last evening of
blustering March, or to welcome the
first day of April in which everyone is
longing to realize the traditional
"ethereal mildness" of spring.
MULE DENTISTRY.
Aa Expert Deatlst Whs Operatea
Twenty-Four of the Ani
mals Every Day.
A Mexican miuing company which
owns 300 mules keeps a deutist on its
staff simply to look after the mules'
teeth.
One of Mr. Mule's amiable weakness
es is the habit of bolting his food,
which frequently causes dyspepsia or
other diseases. This boltitg of his food
is not caused by a desire to hasten bis
meal, but because his molars, or back
teeth, having more work to perform
than his front teeth, wear away in the
course of a few years and become
much shorter than the front ones, thus
allowing the food to pass into the stom
ach without being properly masticated.
In cases of this kind the incisors, or
front teeth, have to be filed down an
eighth qc a quarter of an inch.
The molars of a mole are 2Vi Inches
in length, while the incisors measure
2 Inches, and judging from his Bigns
cf pain, the nerves are as sensitive as
those of human beings. An expert
dentist operates on 24 mules a day.
The extracting instruments are from
two to three feet in length, and the
entire case of instruments weighs
fully 50 pounds. The teeth of every
mine mule are examined and treated,
if necessary, once or twice a year.
Too Maoh of a Contraat.
A writer in a recent number of the
Scotsman has been gathering up tha
traditions, literary and social, connect
ed with ihe buildings displaced by the
alterations consequent on the recent
reconstruction of the North Bridge,
Edinburgh. Among other - buildings
now being swept away is the shop in
which Adam Bluck, the founder of the
well-known firm of publishers, A. & C.
Black, for many years carried on busi

where the reputation of the firm was
made; and in this connection the amus

refusing the offer of knighthood made
to him in recognition of his great civic
services is recalled. "Na, na," said he,

The Search for Relief.
Sufferers from Rheumatism often
spend large amounts ot money and con
sume much time In their eager attempts
to find relief or cure. This search for
health is a pathetic one, because it so
often ends in disappointment. We
would not it we could induce any patient
to try Ath-lo-plio-nie, did we not know
that this remedy Is an absolute cure for
Rheumatism in all its forms. Behold
this witness!
Table Rock, Neb., April 4, 1898.
Gentleman: I have been afflicted
with Rheumatism for several years
and tried several different kinds of
medicine and could find none that would
be ot any relief until I at last was told
to try Ath-lo-pbo-ros, which I did and
was immediately relieved, and In a short
time cured. I am happy to say that it
has not since returned. Yours truly,
Mrs. Lulu Black.
