m"ckery such prayer Is in Oklahoma.
The curse of the Almighty rests upon thai

Then God frowned on the Territory.

THAT EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
1t Was PreceptibIe on the High Ground in
Augusta and Felt BY Many.

The earthquake shock that was no
tioeable in different parts of the State
Saturday. was quite generally noticed
by Augusta people. 1t was about 5 p
M. The shock was most noticeable OF
the high lands on either side of tn:
river, but had comparatively little
ton which are not much above the
level of the river.
The most conspicuous effect, Judging
the statements made by people in diff
ferent parts Of the city, was a shaking
to which was felt by many people
Articles of such a shape or so located
as to make them sensitive to any I'M
usual disturbance, were shaken to such
an extent that attention was imme-
diately attracted to the unusual occur
renee and in some instances buildings
responded to the shock
In the houses cooking utensils on the
stoves and dishes We're in motion for a
short period and many little things
happened which indicated that a real
earthquake was in progress.
At the big gravel banks near the
North end the loose stones at the top
and miniature landslides were sent rat
Ting down to the lower level but the
comparatively innocent work Of the
shock was more apparent on still high
err ground.

uLSTERS and REFERS.
ST. AUGUSTINE'S FAIR.
The Opening Night Passed on Very Success
fully, With Large Attendance.

The fair announced by the people of
st. Augustine parish was opened in
City hall, Saturday evening. There is
much interest in the voting contests
for number of valuable presents and
the contestants have good number of
books in the hands of their supporters.
While the campaign was being opened
the patrons of the fair, who gathered
in the hall. Saturday evening, were en-
tertained with some excellent music, a
humorous recitation in the language of
the native land of the parish people.
This enlived the time while the merry
makers were patronizing the booths
and mastering to the support of the
candidates for the handsome presents.
The fair will be continued, this evening.
also tomorrow and Wednesday evenings.
Stage entertainments have been ar
ranged for each evening. Tonight there
will be mixed programme. with music
singing and selections by the Augusta
Banjo and Guitar Club.
Marcelin Pomerleau and David
Matthew are leading in the race for the
parlor set, and Miss Marie DUMAS and
Alexina Lambert for the chamber set.
with considerable good natured rivalry
between them.
This evening a handsome gold watch
will be presented the person who has
sold the largest number of tickets and
either Louis Berton or Albert Liable
will be the lucky man..
Another thing in which great interest
is being taken is the efforts of those in
charge of the tables to win that gold
watch. offered for the best sales. The
tables are in charge of members of the
