Hon. d. P. Thompson, minister to

marble staircase and fell, spraining his
elbow, knocking out three teeth and cnt-
ting his lips and tongue. When he
wrote, he had sore elbow and mouth.
but expected to be all right in a few
days. Some of Mr.. Thompson's friends,
says the Portland Oregonian, are wonder
ing what kind OF stick of timber they
put in the lemonsdes in Turkey, but this
probably has nothing to do with the
case. Walking on Persian carpets and
Daghistan rugs has made bis shoes I'M
usually slick, and this caused the acct
dent.

The SACRED RELIC.
wellington Gives 1t an Enthusiastic
ReceDti0n.

About 5000 People at the Depot. Speeches
by Mayor Stuart and II. O. Horr, of Phil
adelphia, and others. The Depot Deco
rated Artistically and the Stars and
Stripes Floated over the Track.
Thursday afternoon was looked forward
to with considerable interest by the citi-
zens of Wellington and vicinity.
Bills had been printed early in the week
and circulated through the neighboring
towns, inviting them to come and join in
welcoming the the sacred relic. The in
vitaion met hearty response and dele
cations were present from Litchfeld,
Spencer, Penaeld, Sullivan, Huntington,
Rochester, Brighton, LAGRANGE and Pitts
field
A committee from this place, consisting
of Messrs. @. w. Horr, ]. 8. Mallory, G. D.
Foot, W. B. Vischer, F. W. Bennett and
II. S. Bennett, went to Cleveland in the
morning to accompany the special train
to Wellington.
A select committee Of ladies had deco.
rated the depot very artistically and ap-
propriately for the occasion.
The program was an informal one, with
the exception Of the part taken by the
schools. Superintendent Kinnison had
everything arranged to work like clock.
The scholars assembled in front Of the
opera house and formed in line, lead by
the seniors and headed by the cornet
band, and marched TO the depot at 5
O'Clock.
The special train, bearing the bell, ar
rived promptly on time. 1t was composed
Of five coaches and fiat car, on which
was the bell, supported by a wooden
framework.
The time was too short for any program
to be carried out, consequently everything
was informal. Everybody wanted to see
the bell and when that was done they
were satisfied.
r. O. Horr was the first speaker and as
he was personally well-known here no in
PRODUCTION was necessary. Mayor Stuart,
Of Philadelphia, was next introduced. On
account Of the car being next to the en-
gine, the steam exhausting made SO much
noise that nothing could be heard. II
was a shame. The trainmen should have
cut the engine from the train and got II
cut OF the way during the ceremonies; but
as 1t was the speakers could make gestures
and say what they pleased without danger
Of criticism by the crowd, as not word
OF 1t could be heard.
The committee in charge of the bell
conferred quite an honor on the town In
having the special train stop here. Il was
granted through the influence of r. O.
Horr, son Of r. A. Hon, of this place
and member Of the special committee
from the common council of Philadelphia
accompanying the special train to Chica-
go. The thanks Of the citizens Of Yelling

EDITOR ENTERPRIsE.-We have been
enjoying some very fine weather during
our sojourn here, no cool evenings until
last week when on two mornings frost was
discovered in places. What wheat have
seen LOOKS nice. Oats are four or five
inches high and appear fine, but do not
think there Is very big acreage of either
in this immediate vicinity. The country
is very rolling and the principal cereal
raised Is corn. Hay brings eighteen 10
twenty dollars per ton. What dairylng is
carried on brings good returns; butter
sells for from 25 to 80 cts per pound the
year around. A resident was shown me
who had purchased within the past few
years from one party over $500 wsrth Of
butter and milk for his own use.
