The Power ofaC Cyclone.

Careful estimates of the force of q
cyclone and the energy required to keep
a full fied3ed hurricane in active opera
tion reveal the presence of power
that makes the mightiest efforts of
man appear as nothing in comparison.
a force fully equal to Alb. 600. 900
horsepower WAS estimated as developed
in a West Indian cyclone, This is about
10 times the power that is creatable by
all the means within the range of man $
capabilities during the same time
Were steam, water. windmills and
the strength of all men and all animals
combined they could not at all approach
the tremendous force exerted by this
terrible storm

Deweys Request Denied.

\ request from Admiral Dewey
has been denied. 1t is not often
that he asks any favors, and it is
therefore all the more strange that
the high esteem wherein he is held
by the people and officials gener-
ally did not result in an easy con-
struction that would have permitted
his wishes to be complied with.
In letter to the secretary of the
navy Admiral Dewey relates the
circumstances under which the
Chinese. aboard his fleet were en-
listed. He says they came aboard
fully aware that battle was to be
fought He reports that their CON
duct during the engagement with
the Spanish fleet was admirable
They did their duty, and did ii
we'll. and while enlisted principally
as kitchen and dining room ser
wants, they willingly and efficient
ly performed all services required,
During the memorable battle they
were diligently preparing food for
The fighters, and had meal ready
when the fleet withdrew to exam
anime the magazines and afford
the men breathing spell.
Admiral Dewey says there were
aboard all the ships about fifty
Cinnamon, who like the stars and
stripes SO well they would prefer
to return with the ships TO Ameri-
ca. He requests that they be given
permission to take up residence.
The request was referred to the
treasury department, and decision
has been reached to the effect that
under the exclusion act and treaty
with China they will be barred.
Under the law at present Chinese
officials, students, merchants and
travellers are permitted to come
here, and some of the officials of
the navy department are angry
that broad construction was not
given the matter so as to permit
their entrance under these excep-
tions instead of considering these
Cinnamon simply as .laborers. The
fact that Admiral Dewey felt that
the proposition involved sufficient
merit to receive his recommended
ton and cordial support, and that
his interest in it caused him to
make the direct request, increases
the feeling that is displayed over
its rejection. ~ Chicago Record.

Brak ssnan.s queer Experience.

Brak etnan's Queer Experience.
The Abba Union tells of a queer acct
dent that occurred to an Iowa Central
brakeman who is known by the railroad
men Of this city. The Union says: &c.
"A. Northcutt, a brakeman on the Iowa
Central coal run, had peculiar and at
the same time dangerous accident hap
pen to him last Tuesday afternoon. He
was OH the head end of the train going
down to Hooking, and was hanging out
on the steps giving signals when the
car passed close to a switch and one of
the arms on the top of it extended out
far enough to reach the brakeman.
There was sharp point on the arm
and it passed through the overalls he
wore and left him suspended in mid
air. AS the train PASSED over the
switch the arm would sway backward
and forward and Northcutt was thrown
against the train time and again. The
train crew saw the predicament he was
in and the train was stopped and q
number of men went to his relief and
removed him from the unpleasant po-
sition He was taken to the office of
Dr. Jackson and given medical atten-
ton and later removed to his home in
Oskaloosa. He was not dangerously
hurt, though he was badly bruised.

A HARD rRrEzE.
A Cold Snap Aimuss Unprecedented
for This season OF the Year.

NOIO snap AtmODt 0uprocoO0utc0
for This Season OF the Year.
September has broken the record for
both hot and cold weather. The earlier
days OF the month were the hottest OF
the season, and the closing days are ex-
tremely cold for this season of the
year. The temperature went to 26 de-
grees above zero during the night, and
as result the ponds in this vicinity
were coated over the entire surface with
ice. Local sportsmen who went to
Goose pond early this morning in quest
Hof ducks were surprised to find that
large body Of water frozen. The maxi
mum temperature Thursday was SO, ac-
cording to the Western Union instru-
ment.
The cold snap has caught the Soldiers
Home in bad shape. The work of put
ting in the new steam plant has not yet
been completed, and some of the aged
veterans, so one of their number says,
were compelled to go to bed Thursday
to keep warm.

The fremont House is closed, as re-

owned by the landlord, Mr.. George w.
Wilson. Sheriff Mcpherson took pos.
session at 5 O'clock Thursday evening
under an attachment secured by
Messrs. William Miller and Timothy
Brown, who own the hotel building
Mr.. Wilson was allowed, however, t.
serve breakfast this morning.
The owners say that Mr.. Wilson has
failed to pay his rental, which was at
the rate of 800 per month to each of
the owners for their undivided half in
terest, and that he IL now owing to Mr..
Miller $500 and to Mr.. Brown $780, They
allege in their petition that there is no
prospect OF securing their pay from Mr..
Wilson. Sheriff Mcpherson was en-
gagged the entire day in making an In
voice of the furniture and cigar stock
and In removing the same to a place OF
storage. What the future of the prop
erty will be or how long the hotel will
remain closed is a matter of conjecture
only.
Mr.. Wilson. when seen in regard to
the action, said he had done the best
he could under the circumstances ana

financial difficulties, but had failed ane'

He said he had been losing money ever
since he took hold of the hotel. abou.
two years ago. the business being in
bad condition at that time, and the 9TH

Improvements that it took away some
Of the business. He says that his
monthly rental for the property has
amounted to 1851 per month. which is
unreasonable, but that he could get NO
concessions from the owners of the
building.
Mr.. Wilson came here about two
years ago from Fort Dodge, and has
conducted clean hosiery in the face
of conditions that were hard to over

has not yet determined.

MRS. BONDS RECTAL.

Largely Attended and Proved Very
lnteresting-The Program.
The recital of instrumental and vocal
music of her own composition, given
by Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond in the
church last evening, was
enjoyed by a very good-sized audience.
The affair proved to be a decided sue
cess and every one seemed pleased with
what they had heard. The novelty of
listening to one play and sing music
that she, herself, has composed lent a
peculiar charm to the performance.
Mrs. Bond is not strong singer nor
does she make any claims to MASTER
full technique, but she does compose
most beautiful music and in its rendi-
ton gives to 1t an expression not found
in the performances of better artists
who have attempted her pieces. 1t is
more akin to the feeling that she has
written into the music. In view of this
fact, added to the knowledge that in
many of her songs she has composed
the words as we'll as the music. her re-
cital can not help but pleace and enter
tain.
The program was given as published
in these columns on Thursday with the
exception that two other songs were
sung by request-"Uutil Death" and
Some One I Love is Coming The
orchestra number and Mr.. Barborka' $
playing was enjoyed very much. the
latter responding to an encore.
Mrs. Bond will remain in the city as
the guest of Mrs. H. j. Howe and Mrs.
l.. C, Abbott for month or more. ex-
|cepting occasional trips she will make
to surrounding towns to give similar re-
cita1s.
