in 1876 and came west to Kansas, To-
eating in Cowley county. He went

Under all circumstances the position
of depot agent calls for a man who is
energetic, affable and accommodating.
In these respects the people of yelling

combines these essential qualities.
The subject Of our sketch is a native
of the Buckeye State" but has lived
in Kansas since 1876. He first entered
the employ of the Santa Fe road in 1881.
and has been connected with it ever
since. Mr.. Purdy came to Wellington

for some years. Since coming amongst
US he has earned the good will Of all our
citizens. There is no man who enjoys
the confidence of our people to a great
er extent than Mr.. Purdy. and this has
certainly been earned by his unceasing
labor in catering satisfactorily to the
wants of the public and his accommo-
dating disposition. for he uses every

ular system for everyone to travel by.

portance and influence that is rec0g-

Such has been the result in the case
of c. E. Elliott, the subject Of our
Sketch. He is a native of the Buck
eye State" but when quite young
moved with his parents to Petersburg,
H., where he was reared. His early
education was acquired in the public

was graduated ia 1879 Like the ma

stone, he began life teaching school,
reading law in his leisure hJms. Dill

as a result was admitted t. the bar at

the practice Of his profession in his
home town, where he continued until
1885, when he came to Wellington.
Shortly after he entered into partner
ship with John \. Murray under the
firm name of Murray & Elliott. This
Continued for two years when it was
dissolved, and ne became associated
with Mr.. H. L. Woods as Elliott &

has practiced alone.
With a keen analytical mind, strong

DIR. D. P. WETZEL,
Doctor of Dental surgery. Offices In
Marble Block. Wellington. Hans.

1t is TO be deplor5d that 50 many
people fail to realize he Importance of
having expert dental work. and that
cheaper dentists are largely patronized
because of seeming economy in prices
as compared with a DENTS. eminent in
his profession. Few Of the general pub
lie realize that it is Of as great import
ance, proportionately, 10 have a first
class dentist as it is to have a first.
class surgeon.
The production Of a perfect piece OF
dental work requires much time and
skill, and a dentist cannot afford 10
devote the proper amount Of time anu
care TO an operation unless adequacy
remunerated for the excellence Of his
work; SO that low prices mean inferior
work, while in addition, the patient in
variably suffers much discomfort, and
many diseases Of The mouth and gums
are likely to arise.
II will at once be seen how valuable
is the advice of a skilled dental sur
geon, who takes time TO diagnose cor
rectly and locate accurately the cause
Of the trouble which a dentist, who
works cheaply and lightly, is likely to
overlook. The charges Of a skilled den-
fist for perfectly satisfactory and last
ing operations are comparatively little
more than hose Of a second rate for
imperfect and unsatisfactory work;
while in addition the patient mas the
satisfaction Of knowing that he gets
what he pays for and that Of the very
best.
The ranks of the dental profession in
Wellington comprise some able men,
among whom there is none more
worthy Of mention than DR.. D. p. Wet
Eel. The doctor is a native Of Illinois,
where he was raised and received his
primary education. Moving to Iowa,
he began the study of dentistry in the
office Of DR.. T. NJ. Lynn and afterwards
took a course in the University of Iowa,
graduating in 1887.
For five years DR.. Wetzel practlced
at Grundy Center, la, and came TO our
city Of Wellington in 1890. Since COM
ing among us the doctor has steadily
gained in popularity until at che pres
ent time his record for skillful, lasting
work Of all kinds pertaining to the pro-
fesslon is known throughout the coun-
~. He makes speciality of crown and
bridge work The doctor has his Of
fees in the Marble Block where he has
bright rooms, tastefully furnished and
equipped with all the latest appliances
known to the profession.
Dr. Wetzel is one Of our most es-
teemed citizens and is thoroughly in
line with all worthy enterprises having
for t'eir object the advancement OF
