A meeting Of the Horsemen of Southern
Kansas was held in Wellington day before
yesterday and an association formed for the
purpose of holding spring races at all cities
within the circuit, each city being entitled
to one director. The capital stock was
fixed at S25, 900. of shares of 500 each = and
each city is desired to take an equal proper
ton of the stock, as may be. The profits
and losses Of the circuit are TO be shared by
the stockholders. The next meeting is to
be held at the Manhattan hotel in Wichita,
on Friday evening, April 10th, of which fact
the EAGLE was requested to give notice. A

BUSINESS MEN.

Despite the warnings the EAGLE has given
the business men of Wichita touching the
advertising schemes of irresponsible trsmps
and adventures, We see that some person or
persons has mulcted number of them into
advertising in fraudulent concern called
the Commercial Bulletin" purporting to
be published in Chicago. The place of pub
LEGATION being lie upon its face and upon
its title page. no doubt every representation
made touching the paper-which IN the eyes
Of the law is not newspaper and cannot 60
through the mails as second-class matter
was Misrepresentation, also. Our only
object in saying anything about the matter
was to put our business men on their guard
against swindlers, for the EAGLE. as every
business man in the city knows, has had
more advertisements than it could carry. II
such outfits should come along every Gay IN
the year and succeed, as this pretended Chi
cago outfit has evidently succeeded, It would
not affect the EAGLE to the amount OF a
cent But we do dislike seeing our business
men throw away their money. This same
outfit wanted US to publish their swindle'
Chicago date an all, but we refused, there
fore they devote q column to- the EAGLE
gratis. We suggest to those who have been
taken in that before paying for their write
ups that they demand Of the "editors and
proprietors of the Chicago Bulletin a
sworn statement Of the printer as to the
number actually printed and containing
their advertisement.

A Mule Under Fire.

must not forget to chronicle laugh
able incident that occurred on Morris
Island, S. G.. 1t was in the early days
of the siege. Some ammunition was
wanted in battery at the front and q
mule-driver volunteered to deliver it.
The only road lay along the sandy
beach for distance of mile and a
half, most of the route being within the
range of Forts Sumter and Wagner
The mule team started up the beach.
Sumter began Smelling furiously. The
driver laid on the lashes. the mule, with
ears laid back, piled his legs hundred
revolutions to the minute. A shell
would strike the beach and explode;
then another would whizz by the team;
7 then that mule would stop and reflect a
moment or try to turn back, when down
Seould come the whip. A fresh start for
a short distance and then halt, as
another shell exploded. Then the
driver jumped from his seat, caught the
animal by the head and went on dozen
rods further.
Wagner now opened on him. But
still the team gradually moved on.
reaching the battery unhurt The am
munition was quickly delivered and
that mule was headed for camp and
started at its utmost speed. Down the
sandy road flew the animal, the driver
rapidly plying the whip, till at last they
reached the shelter of the sand-hills.
Just then shell from Sumter came
shrieking through the air. Striking the
beach at the rear of the team, it bound
ed upwards and exploded apparently
right above the mule. A cloud OF. smoke
hid the team for moment. but when il
cleared away there stood the old mule,
with head down and ears back, kicking
most viciously at the cart, that had been
smashed and broken up by fragment
of the shell. The driver lay on the
sand. but jumped up; he limped towards
the mule, cut him loose from the cart,
mounted, and galloped away to the
camps.
Thousands of men, Union and Con-
fcderate, watched this performance.
Our men on shore and the sailors on the
vessel all joined in hearty cheers and
waving of caps. The Rebels joined in
the demonstration to the pluck OF the
driver and the comical courage of his

Russian merchant in 1928 began to dig

years later, when he had dug down

Science dug away at the well fol
months, but stopped when it had
reached depth of 382 feet, when the
ground was still frozen as hard as o

temperature of the excavation carefully
taken at various depths, and from these
data it was estimated that the ground
was frozen to depth of 612 feet. AL.
