A Mirage.

As seen by two Wellington Boys.
Editor OF THE ENTERPRISE: ,t
Saturday morning, 9th inst. as Gus and
Fred Obersten, Danes, who work for Mr.,
E. W. Houghton, a resident in west part
OF the township, were passing over the
road In the direction Of Walter Warren,
they discovered in the sky facing them, a
light colored cloud apparently about
twelve foot square. Pictured In this cloud
in darker shades, was seemingly POINT
Of land, bordering on body Of water. A
beautiful tree stood upon the point of land
touching the water, and It's outlines were
so distinct, the shape Of its leaves were
visible; a steamboat was sailing on the
water, its masts and smoke-stacks were
pictured very distinct and even the smoke
was seen putting and trailing along in lis
rear. From the point Of land near the
tree, u row.boat was propelled TO the
steamer; the steamer then changed It's
course. turning completely around, made
for the shore.
The brothers say the mirage lasted
about five minutes, then faded into
misty cloud. Both affirm as 10 the plain
ness Of the pictures, as il they were near
to the landscape and were viewing It; in
its natural state. Fred the younger
brother once saw a mirage in fhe old
country, before coming TO America. The
picture then protrayed in the sky, was
body OF soldiers, both cavalry and infantry,
on the march: men, horses, guns, and all
their warlike accouterments, as plainly
visible, as If seen on the parade ground.
These boys are Characterised as being
truthful, and their statements can be relied
upon as given in all candor and sincerity

By the unusual number Of exchanges
received from the Gulf states we can CLEAN
a little Of the ideas Of the Southerners
what they propose to do with the Negro,
In every instance they recommend an exo-
dus into the northern states. They claim
they have no use for them and request
they be relieved of their presence, The
colored men aided in the preservation Of
the union, pay taxes and know no other
country but this and are therefore en-
titled 10 all the rights and privileges
granted 10 any citizen Of the United
States. We hope that the press In Dixie
will soon take different view Of things.
The more the question is agitated in that
direction the wider the channel becomes
between the races. Encourage the
colored men TO seek an education, give
them what rights they are entitled To
under the laws, respect them as citizens
and we will assure them far more
harmonious state Of affairs will exist
within one year than at present.

be liquidated until July 1st, 1899. 1t is
expected that the valuation will be de-
creased this decade at least seventy-five
per cent but with our present state,
county, township and municipal debts
hanging over us, what real object would
there be in so doing? If the valuation is
decreased the annual leyies will have TO
be increased, il the debt is liquidated. The
expenses connected with re-valuation
cannot be less than seventy-ive thousand
dollars. Now, taking into consideration
the present facilities we have for placing
taxable valuation annually, the present
state finances and the enormous expenses
attending an appraisal every decade, is It
necessary to elect a land appraiser for

THE Law provides that every ten years
the electors In each township, ward and
precinct, shall elect person to appraise
the real estate. At the annual election
held In April an assessor is chosen to
place taxable value upon the chattel
property, notes, bonds, new building, i'm
provements of any kind made to the
building and place value upon plats Of
land surveyed and sci apart for town or
city purposes. In this way complete
minute is or should be kept each year (;
and II any taxpayer feels that the
assessor has placed too high a value upon
his buildings, improvements, town lots or
chattels, he is at perfect liberty TO appear
before the commissioners and request
the valuation TO be reduced; and, on the
other hand II the assessors places too low
a valuation upon property, any person has
the right TO report the same 10 the com
mIssioners and have II corrected. The
