The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1896-07-15

For the week ending Monday, July 10,
for northern Ohio, the only adverse
features shown by the weeks record is
the damage to oats and corn by the high
wind of the 9th. Some fields of the for
mer were badly tangled and lodged, and
being so far advanced toward maturity
the straw has not sufficient vitality to
rise again. The growing corn Will
doubtless recover and no damage Of any
consequence is apprehended. Army
worms have appeared in some localities
are attacking oats and young grass.
Wheat is about all harvested and some
threshing has been done. The crop is
about half an average one. Rye is also
reported to be in very unsatisfactory coz
dition and the crop does not promise vel .
Oats are beginning to ripen and will be
a very large crop. Corn continues to
flourish and the present condition of the
crop seems to be all that could be de-
sired at this stage of its growth. POta
toes are about full grown and a gOO(
crop assured as they are now out of reaci
of any adverse conditions that are likel!
to overtake them. Haying is about hal
over, the crop is satisfactory as to quan
tity and quality. Apples, plums, pear
and peaches are generally reported to b
in satisfactory condition. Berries an
small fruits of all kinds are abundant
Blackberries are getting ripe.

The Owl Speaks.

The Wellington Enterprise devoted
half column last week to an ltemized
statement Of the deviltrY which has
been committed in that town in the last
thirty years and then didn't tell the half
of it. What's the matter with list OF
the good acts of the people of the city OF
skim milk and whey? Or haven't they
done enough in that line during the last
three decades to make decent showing?
-0berlin Owl.
The Enterprise is honest enough to
give the past happenings of the town,
and we will venture an opinion that
there is not a town in the United States
with the population Of Wellington that
can show as light criminal record in q
third of a century. As favor will the
editor of the wall-eyed sheet go into de
tail Of the crimes committed in the claS'
sic city for the same period, and tht
probabilities are that he will be COM
PEELED to make an excuse to his cOntrlbu
tors and advertisers that their matte
was unavOidably crowded out this weel
in order to give the criminal record o
the town.

The Flats Taken Out of Horn by an

The Flats Taken Out of Horn by an
East Main Street Man.
An affidavit was filed before Justice
Perkins, Monday by A. P. Dimock, charg-
ing K. H. Baird with an attempted as
sault and the destruction of property to
the value Of $40. A warrant was placed
in the hands OF Marshal Williams and
Baird was brought into court and the
case set for hearing Tuesday at 10 a. III.
The court convened at the appointed
hour and Hon. j. T. Haskell appeared
fOr the defense and filed a motion to dis
miss the action on account of defective
affadayit After short consultation later
on the defendant agreed to pay the value
Of the horn as fixed by referees and
pay the costs, The case was then con-
tinued until July 16.
The cause for the trouble is reported
to have been brought about in this
way: Mrs. Adelaide HOwk, of East Main
street, who lies IN very precarious
condition, lives just across the street
from A. P. Dimock. The Dimock
family being fond of music indulg-
ed in their usual musical entertainments
and on account Of the delicate state OF
health OF Mrs. 1Iowk a request was made
upon them to discontinue the use
Of musical instruments, The son of Mr.,
DimCck was indulging in practice on
horn Monday evening and was requstedtC tC
discontinue by Mr.. Baird, which he de-
clined to do, which caused Mr.. Baird t
become so enraged that he deliberately
took it from the boy and hattened it on {
post.

The above table shows that during the
year just closed there were 4S3 pupils
enrolled in the schools, an average
monthly enrolment of 416.S, a daily av-
erage attendance of of 1868, per cent. of
daily attendance 975, and ninety-two
cases Of tardness,
OF the total enrolment there were for
ty-seven boys and siXty-six girls in the
high school, eighty-fOur boys and ninety
girls in the grammar grades and 107 |
boys and ninety girls in the primary
grades. There were but twelve boys and
thirteen girls in school less than three
months during the year and such with
drawal was caused, with but few ex-
ceptions, by removal from town.
The whole year was characterized by
faithful, earnest work on the part OF
both teachers and pupils, and the gener-
al department Of pupils was never better,
both in the rooms and on the grounds.
Fewer pupils failed of promotion in June
than for years, condition very pleasing
to teachers and pupils alike.
The total enrolment of foreign pupilsf for
the year was hfty-fOur, Of which number
thirty-twO were in the high school. The
tuition fund for the year was $i87. Tne
total amount Of tuition for the seventeen
years have had charge of your schools is
$40, 1880, an average of $6l5.2O per
year. 1t will thus be seen that our last
years tuition was considerably above the
yearly average. A warm welcome is al
ways given the good boys and girls who
come from abroad to find school home
with us, and we were proud of the ten
who this year graduated from our high
school. We trust the coming year may
bring many new ones to join those who
already have place in our classes.
1t may not be out of place to state here
g the tuition charged for the different grades
as many ask about it from time to time.
g In the high school the tuition for the
9 fall term is 81, and for each Of the Other
=; terms, $3.50. For the grammar grades
;. the fall term is So, and for each Of the
d other terms 81. For the primary grades
v the fall term is $4, and each of the otheI
h terms '$3. 1t would be Of great advan
n tage to any of the foreign pupils wh'
d may enter our schools next year to begiI
it the work at the first of the year. 1t i
n always more difficult to classify then
is later in tic year.
J. With full appreciation of your sup
v port and confidence in the past and wit
an increased desire on my part to NOR
~ faithfully and ably serve the public tn
= coming year, respectfully submit tn
N above report.

To Save His Neck.

A petition was circulated in Ashland
and Medina counties last week to pre-
sent to the governor Of North Dakota,
praying for the pardon of W. W. Pan
coast now confined in Jail at Mandan,
under sentence of death for the murder
of his wife, which received very few sig
natures. Pancoast formerly resided in
those counties and was an all around
good fellow amoung his associates al
that time, so his present condition in
life naturally excites little sympathy

CHURCHES OF GRANADA.

They Arc ct Once Magnificent and Beg
carly, Solemn and Gay.
1t was in its churches that / thought
Granada at once most magnificent and
beggarly, most solemn and gay. I know
nothing in France or Italy to compare
with the effect Of the cathedral when
the sun stepped streets were left, the
leather curtain was lifted and we were
suddenly in darkness as of night, a
great altar looming dimly in far shad-
Ows, vague, motionless figures PROSTATE
before it. Their silent ferver in the
strange, scented dusk gave a clew to
the ecstasy Of Theresa, of an Ignatius
But it was we'll to turn back quickly
into matter Of fact daylight To linger
was to be reminded that mystery has its
price, solemnity its tawdriness. In ca
thedral and capilla real if we ventured to
look at the royal tombs at the grille
which even in Spain is without equal
at the rctablos, with their wealth of or
nament, one sacristan after another kept
close at our heels impudently expect
ant.
If in unknown little church our eyes
grew accustomed to darkness, it was
that they might be offended with Vir.
gins cleaning in silks and jewels, with
Christs clothed in petticoats. And if we
did once visit the Cartuja it satisfied
our curiosity where other show churches
were concerned. The word Cartuja hung
upon the lips Of every visitor at the Ho-
tel Roma. Foreigners wrcstled hope
lessly with it. Spaniards repeated it
tenderly, as if in love with its gasping
gutturals. We never sat down to meal
that some one did not urge us to the en-
joymcnt of its wonders. At last in self
defense we went. The Cartuja's archi-
lecture struck us as elaborate, its deco
ration as abandoned as the gush that had
sent us to il. 1t had not even the anus
ing gayety of Bohemia's rocco, but
was pretentious and florid in dull,
vulgar way, more in keeping with gid
ed cafe or popular restaurant. But to
this visit my record owes a place, since
1t was our one concession to the guide
books commands. 1t pleased US better
to forget the exaggerated, tortured fam
boyance in the kindly twilight of
churches the names Of which we never
troubled to ask. Elizabeth R. Pennell
