The following recent decisions 0!
the General Land Office, received BY
the local Office at Lake City, are pub
lished for the information of the
public:
MILL SITEs-Land contiguous only
to the surface ground Of q load claim
is not within the prohibition of sec
tion 1881 revised statutes, and this
ordinarily occurs when the mill site is
contiguous to the side lines of the
lode claim. When the mill site abuts
against the end lines of the lode claim,
it is not subject to entry.
EXPENDITURE. Annual expendi-
lures upon lode claims are necessary
to the date of payment and entry ;
and the fact that proceedings in court
under an adverse claim have been
pending for four years, does not waive
this requirement.
$500 expenditures, essential to au-
thorize entry, improvements made by
former locators who had abandoned
their claim, cannot be included.
RELoCATIoN.-The claim is not
subject to relocation as abandoned
ground until the expiration Of the
year next succeeding that for which
the annual expenditure has been
made.

4 C0NY ENTION.
Which Was Not Held in DecenCy
and Order. o."

The Republicans of Cook county,
Illinois, held u lively convention, or
rather, two lively conventions, on
Monday AS it is probable that
Illinois will decide thc fate of
l,rnni ia tho national convention,
and as il was thought that Cook
county would decide his fate in the
State, the convention was very
important one. During last week
the catlcusing in Chicago and Vi
entity had been very warm and
exciting. The Blaine men and the
Washbume men combined and put
up combination tickets, which were
generally successful IN tho prima-
ries.
When the convention met in
l'arwell hall, on Monday, il was
called To order by the chairman of
the county committee, Mr.. H. Nj.
Singer, and Immediately, without
waiting for Mr.. Singer to mako
amy suggestion, member arose
and nominated Elliott Anthony, Il
Washhunc man for chairman. Mr..
Singer was too slow about putting
tie motion to suit the anti-Grant-
ties, and he was pulled from the
stage, and Mr.. Anthony took the
chair amid loud cries from all parts
of the house. Whcrcupon Mr.,
Singer, followed by most of the
Grant men, Withdrew and repaired
TO the Palmer House, where they
elected Il solid Grant delegation to
attend the State convention 10 be
held Mt Springfield. The laarwell
hall convention divided its delcga-
ton in about the proportion of
ftty-cight for Washhurnc and
thirty-to for Blaine.
Cook county, in all probability,
will not have any voice III organizl
ing the State convention, and this
will likely give the organization to
! the Grant men,

on, is feature to which attention
is very properly called as denoting
electrical reeistance-naught else, SO
likely. The testimony of bystand-
ers who had had war-expericncc, u
as TO "the unealthly bowling, as
though the air were filled with fly
ing Shells" is given. This is what
heralded the approach of the tor
nado. The suddenncss of the sen
sation produced is described thus:
"A momentary tremor Of the house,
and then, whish, and the house
was gone, and all was over" This
shortness Of duration il well point
ed at as an earthquake feature.
What, we believe, we had no ex-
ample Of here was, earth-excavations
OF moderate extent in places--"iive
feet in depth, and several rods
square" A like phenomenon is
referred TO as having been presented
in Reno county, Kansas, in May,
1873, when Eat least one-half an
acre Of the soil was shot into the
cloud-spout, as though a mine had
been exploded underneath"
1t occurs to us to ask: May our
ancient sink holes hercabouts have
had this origin?
The tornado's following the track
Of u rail road for miles is remarked
as curious. Prof T. thinks il was
the iron OF the rails which drew 10;
as telegraph wire is known TO con-
duct lightning. SO, Carriages,
sewing machines everything with
much iron aboutit' lac says, "secln-
ed TO be the object Of It's especial
fury Metal roofs DC observes,
were what the tornado seemed TO
50 out Of is way to attack. lIav-
ing an eye, in this connection to
electrical conductiyity, be says,
perhaps too strongly, Il have re-
pcatedly called attention TO The
fact that tornadoes begin or cxpcnd
their greatest energy upon bodies
Of water or rail roads"
Our experience here led us to
think rather Of subterranean local
conditions, as u proxinatcly pro
voking cause.

Geo. Crawford, Robt. M. Crawford,
EDITORS AND PEoPRIEToRs.

The action of the Grant men in
the Cook county (Ills.) convention,
on Monday, will open the eyes OF
many who, heretofore, were 10th to
believe that anything serious is
to be apprehended from the candi-
dacy Of Gen. Grant for third
term. People generally will more
clearly understand what is meant
by his supporters when they urge
his nomination on the grounds that
he is a man who will see too it that
he is inaugurated if elected. II is
evident that the Grant men think
they are entitled to say who shall
be the nominee of the Republican
party, whether they constitute Il
majority Of that party or not And,
if they would force a candidate
upon an unwilling party, might
they not attempt to force an un-
willing people to accept that candl-
date as president. We cannot see
how they would be rs likely to be
troubled with computations OF
conscience in the latter case rs they
would be in the former For III
the first case the majority which
they would override would be
composed Of fellow stalwarts--lnen
Of the same household of faith as
themselves; while IL the second
case the majority would bc COM
posed Of wicked Democrats, whom
they neither love nor respect. As
the campaign advances the uh-
republican talk about 4 strong man
for president will be more mIly
comprchendcd,

ABOUT Your PULsE.-EVery per.
son should know how to ascertain
the state of the pulse; then, by
comparing it with what it is when
ailing, he may have some idea of
the urgency Of his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse of
each child, since now and then a
person is born with peculiarly slow
or fast pulse and the very case 10
hand may be of such popularity.
An infants pulse is 40; child Of
seven about 80, and from twenty TO
to sixty years it is 20 beats min
ute, declining to SIXTY at four'score,
At sixty. if the pulse always ex.
ceeds 20, there is a fever or in
e amation somewhere, and the body
is feeding on itself, as in consump-
ton, when The pulse is quick.
