The Big Damage by Frost to the Orange
 Groves,
 c. H. Bronson writes to the Water bury American from Rockledge, Fla, as follows; I visited the grove of MT Williams near by, which contains forty acres with 4,OOO orange trees upon it. Not leaf is left, and the ground is GOV cred thick with large, beautiful oranges all over this whole field. and MT. Will Hams informed me that there were 5000 bushels on the ground which would have netted him S.OOO, and over half of his trees are also dead. He estimates his loss at $25oOO.. He came here about twenty-five years ago when it was d vast wilderness, and really the labor of a lifetime is gone. This is only one of 1000 similar cases in Florida

Buildings Rocked and People Scared
in Eastern States.
A distinct earthquake shock Wis
tied Chicago at 5:15 Friday morn
ing, lasting about 55 seconds.
There was no serious damage, but
in many houses pictures were
thrown to the floor and crockery
was broken. The shock was ac-
companied by an audible rumbling
coming in gently from the lake,
and disappearing across the prar-
les. In Buena park and other
north side suburbs, many persons
dashed out of their houses in scan
ty clothing. For several hours the
electricity in the atmosphere was
very oppressive to pers ons Of a
nervous temperature. st. Antonio's
Catholic church and several other
buildings were badly damaged at
Quincy.
At Niles, Mich. the earthquake
was felt which lasted about five
minutes. Buildings tumbled, win
dows cracked, beds swayed and peo-
pie rushed out of doors alarmed to
the highest pitch. Pictures fell to
the floors. Three shocks welr felt.
At Cincinnati the the shock was
felt, the most distinct in ten years.
1t began with slight tremulous
motion that continued perhaps a
minute. Then followed two or
three violent undeulations, shaking
brick buildings and rattling win
dows, and gigartic explosion A
slight roaring sound continued af-
ter the shaking ceased.
At Memphis, Tenn, heavy
shock of earthquake was felt,
Houses rocked. The shock lasted
about minute and was preceded
by a rumbling sound.

An Indians House Turns Out to Be
Veritable Gold Mine.
In the process Of adjusting resi-
dences on the reservation to the al
lotment of the respective owners,
says the Lewiston Teller, it becomes
necessary for one old Indian couple
to move from the old log hut that
had been a landmark since the
days Of mines and miners, These
old Nez Perce patriarchs would not
concent to live In modern house
and leave the abode of decaying
logs. 1t became necessary to re-
move the structure to the new site
to console the old folks. SO it was
decided to make play of the work.
All the neighbors including two
white men, repaired TO the scene
one day last week and proceeded
to tear down the cabin and remove
it across the line only a few yards
distant. The old couple watched
the work very closely and directed
the movements of some friends who
we're assisting in the matter of
particular personal interest, 1t
developed that the old hut was
veritable treasure box. There was
money in every crevice and niche
of the old logs Before the last
log was removed over $4,000 had
been gathered into an old -four
sack. There were deposits Of gold
dust in old auger holes, greenbacks
in the season cracks and coin stuff
ed into hollow ends and knot holes
of the logs. The old hut had been
the repository Of the two old In
dians in the long past when they
sold cattle, horses and farm pro-
ducts to the white men. The old
people had passed the age Of ment-
al activity, and the exact holes and
inches that held their wealth they
did not seem TO know, but they
guarded the whole premises with

IN The FIRST DEGREE.
Such Was the Verdict in thu Durrant
Case.

Ease,
Theodore Durrant, assistant sup
erintendent of the Emanuel Bap-
tist church Sunday school, was last
Friday convicted of the murder of
Blanche Lamont, for which he has
been on trial since July % last.
The jury was ont 90 minute and
arrived at the verdict on the first
ballot. AS there was no recon-.
mendation of mercy, the punish
ment was fixed at death.
The scene in the court room
when the verdict was announced
will never be forgotten by those
who were present. Judge Murphy
finished his charge at $3.50 and the
jury at once retired. Although
there was supposed to be little
prospect Of verdict being returned
before 7 o'clock in the evening, the
throng of spectators who had re-
mained in the overcrowded court
room all the afternoon to hear the
judges charge, settled themselves
back in their seats to await the re-
turn of the jury. Mrs. Durrant
and the prisoner talked and laugh
ed together as if an acquittal was a
foregoing conclusion. They were
Joined by half a dozen friends and
the conversation was becoming ami.
mated when it became whispered
about that the jury had agreed on
verdict. In an instant hush
fell on the little circle that had
gathered around the prisoner. Dur
rants face, always pale, assumed a
CHASTITY hue, and his mother was
speechless. Then the big door al
the rear Of the room opened and
the members of the jury fled in
and took their seats in the box.
In the intense excitement that
followed, the room, although it wal
filled to its utmost capacity, wal
almost as quiet as if had been vac.
ant. Judge Murphy, who had re
tired to his chamber, was summon.
ed and took his place upon TIN
bench. Clerk Morris asked thu
usual questions as to whether the
jury had agreed on verdict. Fore
man Warren Dutton arose and re
piled in the affirmative.

THE TREATY OF 1918.

Recent utterance Concerning It by
Cramp Commende d.
A shipbuilding company at De-
troit has submitted the lowest and
best bids for two of the new gun
boats in the United States navy.
There is no reason why it should
not receive the contracts except
the fact that the city of Detroit is
situated on the shore of the waters
that divide this country from Cam
ada. Under the treaty Of 1918
with Great Britain either country
is forbidden to build or to navigate
vessels of war on the Great Lakes,
and the construction of gunboats
at Detroit, it is held, would come
within the scope Of the treaty.
The treaty Of 1918 was one Of the
shrewd devices by which far. sighted
British diplomacy frequently OBJ
tanned advantage over our state de-
partment in its early days. The
Monroe administration, under
which it was ratified, did not fore.
see the rapid growth Of the inter
ests which we were to hold in the
Great Lakes. Their American
shores were then, for the most part
q fronteer wilderness; cities like
Buffalo, Cleveland, Milwaukee,
Toledo, Duluth, and Chicago had
not come into existance, and De-
troit and Erie were mere garrison
towns. Today the states which is
bordered by the lakes contain .
population three times as large as
the whole country had when the
treaty of 1918 was signed, and YET
not one of them have the right
to launch war vessel on those
inland seas.
Mr.. Charles HI. Cramp has writ
ten a strong open letter to Post
master General Wilson on the in
justice which we suffer this treaty
to work to the nation after q laps
OF three-quarters of a century, ant
he forcibly suggests that it shall
be abrogated, if it can actually b

viding ourselves with ships in on

Writ w. Saunders Restored to Citi-
zenship,
Writ w. Saunders, convicted in
1887 Of murder in the second de-
gree, for the killing of Charles
Campbell in Albany, sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary, released in 1894 by Governor
Pennoyer on condition that he
leave the state, was recently granted
full pardon by Governor Lord,
for the purpose of restoring him to
citizenship. Ever since the pres.
ent governor took office, there have
been efforts, more or less energetic,
to have Saunders restored to oiti-
zenship. 1t was urged by promin-
ent citizens, including Ex-Governor
Pennoyer, that Saunders was de-
porting himself creditably at Spo-
kane, Wash; was connected with a
prominent law firm; and that lack
of citizenship was a serious handi-
cap to him as an attorney. About
six weeks ago Governor Lord be.
came satisfied, from reports Of
Saunders, that citizenship might
properly be restored to him, but,
realizing that the practical effect
of pardon would be to make Saun-
ders a citizen of Washington, wrote
to Governor McGraw, as an act of
comity, about the matter, and re,
ceived in reply a statement that
the governor Of Washington would
soon give an expression Of opinion
as to Saunders worthiness. Now
Governor McGraw writes that, af-
ter making personal investigation
of Saunders conduct since coming
to Spokane, he is convinced that
Saunders pardon would be proper
Lord has promptly acted in ac-
cordance with the recommended
tion.
Captain Saunders was sent to
the Oregon penitentlary to serve q
life sentence for the murder Of
Charles Campbell at Albany, in
October, 1885. He was accused
| jointly with Miss Matte Allison, /
milliner Of that city, with conspir-
ing to murder Campbell. Miss AL
lison was acquitted. She got a
change of venue to Salem, where
her trial took place. Saunders wa;
first tried at Albany, and convicted
of murder in the first degree. Be
fore he was sentenced he ESCAPED
from Jail and eluded capture fol
two months. He was finally taker
in custody al Coos bay. Later h,
was sentenced to death, but secured
a new trial and a change of venue
to Salem. His second trial result
ed in verdict of murder in the
