Mr. Welpton was engaged In tho grocery business In Emerson, la., for a number of years; moved to western Nebraska In 1892 on account of his little daughter's health, whero ho went Into tho land business, but says ho lost most of his accumulations dur ing tho panic of 1893; opened a small prlvato bank In Grant, Neb., In April, 1895, which ho operated until July, 1897, paid off his depositors and moved tho bank to Ogallala, whero ho has been successful In building up a nice business. In July, 1901, ho increased tho capital stock and Incorpo rated as a stato bank, and owns 97 per cent of tho capital stock, with tho now burglar proof safe added.

Rude King Blizzard (Continued from Third Page.) off from the outer world, railways wcro tied up, telegraph communication Inter rupted nnd tho city streets blocked. It was moro than a week before traffic re sumed a normal condition. Tho cities Immediately surrounding New York suffered heavily during this "bliz zard," but nono as severe as New York. Tho term "blizzard" first associated with this storm In tho east, now remains n household memory. Cnnern to tlie Went. "Blizzards" are most frequent in tho northwest and only tho most sovere, which occur In January, February and March, extend as far south as the gulf coast or reach the Atlantic. Their average tlmo In traveling from Montana to tho Atlantic coast Is from thirty-two to forty hours and from tho lako regions to tho middle At lnntlc coast twenty-four hours. In these storms tho wind over tho west ern plains will frequently blow for days at a tlmo with a velocity of from forty to fifty miles an hour. Regardless of tho ex tremely low temperature of from 30 to CO degrees below zero, a person exposed could withstand tho cold without tho wind, but Is llkoly to perish In a much higher tem pcruturo when tho winds nro high. During tho recent blizzard, December 13 to 15, which swept tho country, thousands of sheep were reported destroyed In Wy oming. Tho ranchmen wero caught unpre pared, and great losses also occurred in Nebraska. Several peoplo wcro frozen to death In the southwest; tho temperature fell so rapidly that tho suffering was In tense. As tho storm moved eastward tho great railroads wero blocked and frozen up. In tho mountainous valleys of tho east tho sturm was preceded by heavy rains, causing washouts and destruction of bridges. Cloudbursts Inundated towns and villages throughout most of tho states of the Appalachian system. Damages result Ing in a loss of moro than $500,000 were reported. Following the floods come tho "blizzard" effects of snow, northwest gales and zero temperature over all tho northern states and freezing weather reaching to tho center of Florida, causing much dam age to orange groves. Trains from all dl rectlons In tho northern states were snow bound and traffic generally Impeded. Thus the "blizzard" comes, leaving humanity to ponder on the powerful forces of nature E. D. DUNN. Antidote for Blues New York Weekly: Winks Como along old boy, I'vo got two complimentary tickets for a dramatic porformanco. Jinks Tragedy or comedy? "Tragedy." "I don't like tragedies. They appeal so strongly to one's sympathies that I always feel bluo for a week." "This ono won't. You'll come homo as Jolly as It you'd been to a circus. It's by an amateur company." The Rudeness of George Clevoland Flaln Dealer: "deorgo can bo very rude at times. Ho Interrupted mo Jus 'as going to speak last evening." "How did It happen?" "Why, ho asked mo If ho couldn't kiss me, and Just as I was about to remonstrate he stopped mo." "How did he stop you 7" "Tho usual way." Explaining His Regret Ilrooklyn Eaglo: "1 regret to say," snld tho poltto policeman In preferring the chnrgo against his prisoner, "that I found this man Intoxicated." "Regrets It!" muttered tho prisoner In appnrent surprise; "regrets!" Then ns a great light seemed to dawn on him, he added, "Why, sure ho'e envious." A Question of Pride Chicago Post: "Sho thinks sho Is entitled to a dlvorco, but sho won't seek It." "Religious scruples, I suppose?" "No, family pride." "How is that?" "Sho's afraid It would mako a gencatog- leal tangle that would destroy tho valuo of the family treo for future generations."
