Oscar Talcott Of Ionia had an excit-
ing experience last week, four miles
east of Rondo, in the edge of Cheboy-
gan county. While passing through a
dense wood he was suddenly struck on
the back of the neck blow that
brought him to his knees. The blow
was accompanied by a hideous scream,
and, turning as he rose, he found him
self attacked by ferocious eagle
Sailing aloft the eagle returned to the
attack again and again, while with
blood streaming down his face, Mr..
Talcott seized club, and after a
dozen rounds, succeeded in beating off
the savage bird. Two years ago, in
this same vicinity, child was carried
away, and after chase of three miles
the eagle was shot by the father of the
child and the babe recovered.

DR.. b. II. Ellis of Detroit has this TO


DR.. +. II. Ellis of Detroit has this TO
say OF cyclones in an article TO the
Detroit Tribune: Cyclones are OF
short duration and are quite limited in
extent. They exert tremendous power
but are quickly over. They seem to
depend upon or are originated by cross
or conflicting currents of air. Thus:
current Of air may be coming from
the west at IA rate of go miles per hour;
If this is intercepted by another cur
rent coming from the east or more es-
pecially from the southeast, SO as To
strike the western current at an angle,
there is liable To be in the combination
"A terrible conflict of the atmosphere,
and rotary motion is generated. II
one current is travelling GO miles per
hour and the other 40, the stronger
overcomes the weaker and the result
tant motion may be reduced to about
20 miles per hour, and may be DETECTED
somewhat to the right or left depend
ing upon the angle at which the orig
inal currents came in contact. A
simple wind of 20 miles per hour does
no harm, and it is noticed that cyclones
do not travel fast, but their fearful
and destructive force results from
their rotary motion. The rotary or
circular motion of the air in a cyclone
or whirlwind is observed in the flying
fragments of dust and every visible
thing which can be moved and is in
the track of the storm. And the whirl
of the air in a cyclone, by the centri-
fugal force, tends to throw everything
outwards-ev the air itself is forced
towards the circumference which tends
to form vacuum or partial vacuum in
the center or vortex.

Frank r. Chase Of Otsco, and Grant

attitude, we understand to be, that
while not actively candidate, he
would accept third term, if rendered
TO him.
Major Chase was candidate four
years ago, and would have been nomi-

friends weakened at the last moment
under the force of the argument that
Judge Willett was entitled to second
term. He gracefully yielded to his
defeat, gave the ticket cordial support,
as he always has done and will do this
year in any event. He is not made of
the kind of stuff that kicks or sulks

there is not silver enough in the mines
OF Arizona to hire him TO run on

any other good Republican should get
more votes in a Republican convention
than he did. He is man and Repub-

Republican party and its fairly chosen

PRESERVE THE PEACE.
Mayor Pratt Issues an Election Day
Proclamation,

Mayor Pratt has issued the usual election
proclamation notifying the saloons to close
up tomorrow until o'clock in the evening,
and requesting the public in general to pre-
serve good order and decorum. The procla-
nation is as follows:
1.-THE questions involved in the present
political campaign are of such vital impor-
lance to the country at large that an intens-
fly Of feeling has been engendered, probably
scarcely excepting the days of 81, and it
calls for the exercise Of calm Judgment and
careful consideration Of the rights and opin-
ions of those who may not agree on the
questions at issue. Minneapolis is credited
with being an orderly city, and I earnestly
request our citizens to maintain that decorum
and love of good order during the next few
days which is characteristic of our city.
While it might be expected that crowds will
collect on the streets and public places in the
downtown districts, our citizens should re-
frain from that which may tend to anything
but good order.
The attention Of all persons engaged IN
the sale of intoxicating liquors is hereby
called to the following extract from our gem
eral election laws, which shall be strictly
enforced:
''No spirituous, malt or intoxicating liquor
shall be sold or given away, nor shall any
store saloon or bar room where such liquor
is sold OF given away, be open on any gen
eral or special election day at any time be-
tween the hour of in the forenoon and the
hour of In the afternoon. Whoever violates
any provision of the section shall be fined
not less than one hundred dollars, nor more
than three hundred dollars for each orense,
and in default-thereof shall be imprisoned In
the county Jail for period not exceeding six
months. Robert Pratt, mayor.

EARTHQUAKES IN ICELAND.
People Are In a State of Terror Over
Recent Seismic Disturbances.

People Are In State of Terror Over
Recent Seismic Disturbances,
London Standard.
Iceland has recently been visited by
series of earthquake shocks, the most
serious, with regard to the damage
that has been done, that have occurred
in this century. On the evening of Aug
rs the first shock occurred, and it was
followed by another somewhat less Sc
we're the next morning. These shocks
were felt over the whole southwest of
the island, but were most violent in
the district of Rangarvalia Syssel,
which lies directly to the south Of
Hekla. In that district fifty-five farm
houses, with the adjacent outbuildings.
were leveled with the ground. These,
like most of the Icelandic farmhouses
are built of turf and stone, without
lime or cement and with a weak wood
en- framework, and consequently they
at once yield to an earthquake shock
of any violence. None Of the few tim
Der houses which are found in this part
of the country were overthrown or even
seriously damaged. No. loss of life was
occasioned by this earthquake, al
though there were some narrow es-
capes, but number of cattle and sheep
were crushed or suffocated in the ruins
of the cattle-houses or under the land
slips which, in various places, occurred
in the open.
Occasional tremors were felt during
the following days, but nothing serious
happened until the night of Sept 5,
when another violent shock occurred,
with even more disastrous results This
time the seat Of the disturbance was
altered. Rangarvalia Syssel was COM
paratively little affected, but the most
damage was done in the adjacent dis
tricts to the westward, in Arnes Sys-
sci. Over 100 farmhouses, with their
outbuildings, were thrown down or seri-
ously damaged, nor was the loss on
this occasion confined to property-an
aged couple lost their lives, being
smothered in the ruins of their house.
Fortunately. the first shock. between
10 and III O'Clock on the night of Sept.
b, awakened most of the inhabitants
OF the district and drove them out of
their houses, so that the inmates were
out OF danger when the next shock,
about four hours later. converted the
buildings into heaps of ruins Since
then there have been frequent. almost
daily, tremors of the earth of greater
or less force. but none of such violence
as to do further damage. No eruption
has as yet taken place nor are there
any signs Of an incipient eruption
visible. The inhabitants Of the dis
turbed districts would be disposed to
welcome an eruption, as they believe
that the earth would thereby relieve
itself and come to rest otherwise they
think that the earthquakes will con-
tinue till an eruption occurs This is
the popular theory, but it does not
seem to be based on any reliable
grounds. ~ Earthquakes often occur
here, as elsewhere without being fol-
lowed by eruptions. The thermal phe-
nomena of the disturbed districts have
been considerably affected The great
geyser and the hot springs which sur
, round it, being outside the district
where the earthquakes were most VIC
lent. were little affected beyond dis
