The correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
merciaL thus describes slow mule race Mt
the Richmond, Ind, Fuir-the slome4t mule
to get the prize:
A novel feature of the exhibition was a
mule race, which provoked universal mrth-
fulness. Four gentlemen entered under
rules requiring each to back "muil" he
longing to his neghbor-the last mule Mt
the stand to receive n prize of $40. OF
course every fellow 'sput in his best licks,"
desiring to beat his own animal. tina, he
might carry off the prize, and each being n
practical joker, had entered the meanest
mule he could find. The scene was extreme
ly laughable. While one animal reared,
another plunged; one leaped stitf-legged,
all tried their prettiest to dispose of their
freight and make a stampede. One succeed
ed in shooting his man headforemost from
his back, hurting him after the fashion of a
Scotchman throwing the "caber." After
sundry extraordinary gyrations, and when
the multitude were well nigh exhausted by
excessive mirth, victory for Charles Frost =
mule was finally observation-disclosures. Hunter
and Wolverton got out together, neck and
neck. ',.sE ---a. = ..- r.-sg

Rise of Real Estate in New York.

The New York Post gives some striking
instances of the rapid rise in the price of
real estate in that city. In 1924 St. Thomas
Church bought eight lots at the corner of
Broadway and Houston streets ut $l,l0O
each now these lots are worth 100000
1t lS43 lots on Fifth avenue, from 35th to
10th street, could be bought for $500; now
the same lots will bring $4,000 and many
Of them over $4,000. In 1915, John Hunt,
millionaire, purchased on the corner of
39th street and Sth avenue a lot for 50, 400.
Mr.. Hunt was deemed insane, and this, and
other similar purchases, were brought up in
court as evidences of his insanity. The
same lot is now worth $l5,0 900. In 1915 lots
in 3Ith and 3oth streets, between Fifth and
Sixth avenues, were purchased by exMayor
Brady, at corporation auction sale, at $500
each. The same lots are now worth $4,000
each. In 1926, the late Zachariah Lewis
purchased four lots corner of Eighth avenue
and AID street, at $3.50 each. The same
lots are now worth $500 each, having
been sold in 1854, together, for over $751;

Traces oil Ancient Mines IN NObfaSka.
! The "oldest inhab,tant' will remember
that's few years since there was a good deal
of excitement about the traces of ancIent
mining that We're discovered along he
Weeping Water, about fourteen miles north
west of Nebraska City. The excitement
died ont in II short time, and a little or no
investigation or exploration was made of
the mining operations to CRAFTY the curiosity
or develop any tangible results.
/ Still the deep dug trenches remain there
exciting scarce inquiry or discussion till one
day last week n company of our citizens,
composed in part of the following nalned
gentlemen Gen. S. +. Nuckols, Judge
Brown, Hon. j. II. Decker, II. L. Ludding-
ton, 7. j. Armstrong, armed and equipped
with picks and shOvciS. determined upon Il
partial examination of the works. They
found them presenting the same general ap-
pearancc as rcprescntcd--drep trenches
J from twenty to thirty feet in width and full
of different kinds of rock broken into fine
| particles, which Indicate, it would seem.
without doubt that, process of blasting had
been carried on. Did these ancient miners
possess a knowledge of the secret and subtle
forces of gunpowder? Who knows?
The operations would Indicate the work
of miners many weeks or months. They
were evidently carried on on Il pretty extern
sive scale. For what? This question We
cannot at present answer. IL is thought bv
many that there are extensiv" lead mines in
the vicinity. Lead in small fragments has.
in several instances. been found upon the
! farm Of Mr.. Kirkpatrick, short distance
fl ON where the mining has been carried on.
Others are firm in the opinion that Il richer
mineral has been worked and will be again
Dissolved. A thorough exploration can alone
! determine.
These relics, and vestiges of ancient mines
are additional testimony showing that II race,
civilized, hardy ana industrious once. and
previous to the Indian, roamed over these
praries and along the blue valleys, bathed
in the limpid streams and refreshed them
selves upon the products of the chase and
soil. What high purposes and great plans
were theirs, what deeds of achievement and
ambition belonged to them no record is left.
Story and song are silent; and the lmagina-
ton is left to fill up the events Of their his
tory with their heroic deeds and manly
| achievements or sad tales of woe and that
which cauSeth the heart to mourn, lust as
ones Imagination pictures 1t. What this
race achieved and what it thought and what
dire curse as in one fated night swept it
from the earth is and will probably always
remain mystery. Their records died with
! thcm-even the nations epltaph was unwrit.

Cy' Delaware has been telesraphed all
over the land as having gone Administration
last Tuesday by $50 majority, when, in fact,
her State election has not been held, and will
not be till the second Tuesday in November.
Last Tuesdays election was for Inspectors
and Assessors only, and the aggregate
Administration ma jorlty is shown by the
Wilmington journal to be 433 only, whereas
at the Inspectors Election of 1859 it was
2,lS5. Then Wilmington went 1870 Buchan-

novn she Gees.

On Thursday last, the steamer Carrier,
b ound for St. Joseph, struck . snng .just
above Herman and went down. No lives
lost. All the freight in the hold probably
damaged to great extent. She vas insured
for about one half her value IN Pittsburgh
Ofices-only $4,000 insurance on her
freight. These accidents are becoming
frightfully frequent. What . pity the Mis-.
souri River is not Q saltwater institution
We might then hope TO receive some MD
from government. As il 10, many valuable
lives and millions Of dollars of the property
of Western men, are annually exposed to
destruction, upon its treacherous bosom, but
the Federal managers only laugh at the Vest,
when it asks for relief. How long will this
uvoritism for the East, the Atlantic coast
and the great lskes continue, to our det-
riment? 1t is time the people sought q
remedy, in the election of men, who will not
turn deaf ear to their just complaints. 1t
may be regarded as fogyism, but we confess
to entertaining the old fashioned idea, that
some of the money paid into the United
States Treasury by the Great West should
be appropriated to her own section instead
of giving it all, to enrich the East, and to
build up the Sea- board towns. 1t is not
simply ''down she goes" with the ''Carrier''
or the "January' or other steamers built by
Western enterprise, but if this neglect contn-
ues, it will be SHOWN she goes" with West
ern commerce, Western merchants and far
mers and Western interests. Our cute
Yankee brothers have played this game Of
''turkey' for them, and 'buszdrd" for US
long enough, and we think it is high time,
the western people should call for fresh
shuttle and a new deal. In a word paving
our full share of government expenses, shall
we be deprived of our fair proportion of
government profits? Every merchant in
North West Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska pays a cost Of carriage on his
goods. 1t requires no argument to prove
that this is increased as the risk of the car
rier is increased, or diminished rs the car
rier's risk is lessened. The same facts apply
with equal force to the farmer, who sends
off his hemp, wheat, corn, bacon or other
products. And if they would lessen the
price which they have to pay for goods, and
increase the profits upon their own products,
by diminishing the cost of sale, they must
unite together with one impulse, and demand
Of the government which they help to sup
port, the full share of aid and appropriation
benefits to which they are justly entitled
