CIRCULATION.

The EAGLE seldom refers
to its circulate N as every
man of ordinary intelligence
knows the EAGLE is the
largest Weekly paper in the
state, but to disabuse the
minds of some, will say that
the EAGLES weekly circula-
tion is larger than all the
weeklies in Sedgwick coun-
ty combined, for which we
are willing to produce facts
Remember the EAGLE was
the first to reduce the price
Of a weekly where all could
reach it. We don't give pa
pers away nor bore people
with sample copies; our ex.
tensive circulation is taken
and paid for; of course some
papers are too cheap to give

MERMAID is FOUND.
Scientid dcally She Is Known Merely
as the "Dugong."
u Peculiar Mammal Which II Wearing
Extdnction-The Connecting Link
Between tho Whale and tho
Seals and Walruses

The latest addition to the mammalia
department of the San Francisco acad-
emy Of science, says the Examiner, is
a real mermaid. The strange specimen
arrived from Australia few weeks
ago and is now In the hands of the tax
idermist. The process of curing and
stufing will be completed in few
days. Then the public may visit the
ncademy and take good square look
at an honest siren of the seas.
Although the animal is the veritable
original of the mermaid, her scientific
name is not SO supple on the lips as the
soft pet names given to the marine
sirens of mythology. She is known as
the dugong, and while she is more or
less interesting to the naturalist as be-
ing the inoffensive cause of the mer-
maid myths, she is still more interest.
ing to him because she is a du-
gong. For the dugong has been
battling for existence in the marine
world for centuries and is about to
lose her identity among her aquatic
neighbors of the southern deep. The
dugong Is becoming rapidly extinct. 4
specimen is seldom captured and the
one in the possession of the academy
is regarded as an extraordinary prize.
Every nation under the sun has con.
tributed to the mythical evolution OF
the dugong from member of the man.
atee family of mammalia to a beauti.
full sea siren with languorous eyes and
flowing hair, who wooes foolish marin.
ers to destruction, and the folk lore OF
every nation has different idea Of the
appearance of the mermaid. The crafty
Chinese and Japanese have even manu-.
fhctured hideous semblance to q
woman fish, and great painters have
Geigned to commit to canvas their con.
ception of the siren. The unattractive.
motherly dugong was the cause of il
all.
The dugong forms the connecting
link between the real whale and the
seals and walruses. Like the whale
:he animal has no hind feet, but
powerful horizontal tail Its anterior
extremities are more flexibly jointed
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-03-01


than those Of the whale, and this is a
distinguishing characteristic between
the two animals. The dugong is said
to have attained length of twenty
feet, but the usual length is from eight
TO twelve feet The specimen at tho
academy Is nearly seven feet long and
has been very well preserved
In appearance the animal resembles
the manatee or sea COW. It's upper lip
is large, thick and fieshy, and its snout
is like the trunk of an elephant cut
short across
When the dugong is nursing its
young its breasts are enlarged so as to
be almost human in their aspect. The
nursing process is carried on by the
mother above water. The baby du-
gong is pressed against the exposed
breast with one of mamma dugong's
fippers, and in this position the ami
NAL swims horizontally through the
water, using her remaining flipper to
propel herself along. It is this singu-
lar characteristic of the animal that
has given rise to the fable of the mer.
maid.
Sir James Emerson Tennent, the
eminent naturalist; says: THE rude
approach to the human outline observ.
able in the shape Of the head of this
creature, and the attitude of the moth
er while sucking her young, holding
1t to her breast with one flipper and,
while swimming with the other, hold.
ting the heads of both above water,
and, when disturbed, suddenly diving
and displaying her fish-lil1e tail-these,
together with her habitual demonstra-
tions of strong maternal affection.
probably gave rise to the fable Of the
mermaid"
Tennent traces the origin of the
myth to the gilt-edged tales of early
Arabian sailors who had watched the
strange antics of the dugong in the
waters of the Manaar
Still another characteristic of the
animal that contributed to its immor-
talization in mythology and he.,aldrv
is the peculiarly human-lilxe, plaintive
cry which it gives when its young is
imperiled or becomes detached from
Its motherly but muscular hold. Ac-
cording to Ruppell, ii was with the
skin of this mammal that the Jews
were directed to veil the temple
The best proof that the dugong has
been but imperfectly described by nat
nralists is the contradictory accounts
given by scientists. Tennent SAYS it
gives no oil whatsoever. and the author
of Wonders of the Deep" declares
that 1900 bottles of oil have been OBJ
tanned from one dugong. 1t is a sort
Df marine cosmopolite, for it has been
found in the northern seas. along the
tropical coasts and streams of Africa
and America, in the Red sea and the
Indian ocean

Chicago July 13.-The hanging Of
Prendergast took place in the Cook
county Jail. No one but the press rep
resentatives, officials and a few private
citizens were admitted. He maintained
dogged silence, tears were running
down his haggard countenance and
shaking like AN aspen leaf. At 11:30
a. IN. the death watch was removed and
the condemned man still hoping against
hope that another stay Of execution
would be secured by his law
yers. was marched out into the
corridor. an officer on each
side, supporting him. His old and
grief stricken mother bid him farewell
The murderer did not apparently real
ize that his doom was SO near and did
not even embrace or kiss his stricken
with his spiritual adviser IN an assumed
demented manner. saying that during
the night an inspiration had come to
him from heaven, that he would be near
his Maker and would through the in
huence of Christ, yet be appointed cor
poration counsel of the city Of Chicago
The start for the scaffold was made. but
the murderer Of Chicago's chief execu-
tive. through abject fear. could not stir
limb and had to be carried to the scat
fold. His hands and feet were shackled
the moose adjusted. and exactly at II
noon the trap was sprung and one Of the
most despisable of assassins was shot
downward into eternity. His neck was
broken by the fall. but from the contor-
tions of his legs and body. life did not
become extinct for several minutes. He
was cut down at the expiration Of seven
minutes and pronounced dead by the at
tending physicians.
The Yellowstone journal., 1894-07-14

ing that it was his wish to walk to the
scafiold and place the moose around his
neck himself, the request was granted
and Fields. with firm step, climbed
the gallows and placing the moose
securely around his neck. his feet were
tied, and before pulling the black cap
the sheriff asked him il he had any
statement or remarks to make. Fields
replied no, simply saying good by. At
exactly 5:l5 a. m. the trap was sprung
and the body of Fields shot down like
log. At tthe expiration Of 8 minutes
his body was cut down. life being pro-
nounced extinct by the physicians.

Fields then retired to his bed and the

Mortimer wanting to see Fields before

n. y. Bulletin.


American Railway Union precipitated
general strike upon this railroad because
OF the discharge OF certain men for fail
ing to perform their usual and legiti-
and handling Of trains with Pullman
cars attached. The entire system has
been crippled sixteen days by the strike,
and is not yet in position to fulfill it's en-
tire duty as carrier Of the United
States mails and interstate commerce. In
order to perform its business, it has been
necessary to employ men to take the
places OF those who Voluntarily relin-
quished their positions. and to guaran-
tee continued employment during faith
ful service to such new employees. From
the inception Of the difficulty. the for
mer employees have been called upon for
service in their respective positions, and
d majority Of them have refused, thus
closing their connection with the road
under the uniform and recognized Gus
tom regulating railroad service. The
positions filled must, therefore. be con
sidered as Icing occupied permanently
Former employees are now seeking re-
instatement in large numbers. 1t is the
belief OF the management that there are
many formerly in the employ of the road
who were coerced into striking or who
were led to do so through a lack Of pro
per appreciation Of their circumstances
and conditions, aud who have taken no
part in any riotous demonstrations. des-
tructIon OF property or interference with
employees who desire to and did enter
upon or continue to perform the duties
incident to the operation OF the road,
and who have both the will and ability
to render efficient and loyal service,
therefore, notice is hereby given that
until twelve o'clock noon. July 18th.
1894. no new employees will be assigned
to duty, and application will be received
from such former employees as desire to
re-enter the service. subject to the con
ditions and qualifications hereunto
stated. Application should be made to
the superintendent. master mechanics.
foreman and other officers and agents
who usually and customar'ly employ
men.
Men re -ent ring service will take rank
and have rights IN the positions now
vacant in the same relation to each other
that existed before they severed their
connection with the road. Men who
have not been called or who have not
eyaded calls for service will be consid.
cred still in the employ Of the road. and
will rank and have rights as on June
18th. 1894. From and after l. o'clock
noon. Sunday next. the assignment Of
new men to position will continue. and
seniority rights Of such appointed will
date from the time Of their assignment
to duty Men who have fermented dis
turbances. who have participated in vio-
lence, or in destl uction OF railroad prop
erty, who have counseled disobedience
