Felt in California.

A severe earthquake shock was felt in
Lompec Valley, Cal, at 1855 o'clock
Sunday night. The shock lasted fully
thirty seconds, and was so severe that
dishes, clocks, house plants, ETC., were
thrown from shelves and furniture and
other articles were upset.
The people were stricken with terror
and ran from their houses, some fearing
to return, as other lighter shocks con-
tinued for several hours afterWard. An
other heavy shock was felt at 5 a. m.
and one at II a. m. Monday. A large
water tank was knocked over; the earth
cracked at many places. The Santa Ynez
river bed slightly changed at places.
Meager advices from Los Alanfbs, near
Santa Barbara, report that severe
shock was felt Sunday night at about II
o'clock, doing $4,000 damage to the
property of the Western Union Oil Com
pany at the Garreaga wells. At Harris
Station assure is reported to have open
ed, and from it a stream of water two
feet deep and eighteen feet wide is flow
ing. A slight shock was felt in Santa
Barbara but no damage was DONE At
Santa Maria the vibrations, which We're
from east to west, lasted forty-five sec

Cities Aaected-Parts of California
Also Feel the Disturbance and Some
Slight Damage Is Done.

An earthquake shock so severe as 10
cause CONSERVATION in many places is re-
ported from towns in Nebraska, western
Iowa and South Dakota. The disturb
ance occurred shortly before l O'Clock
Monday afternoon and lasted from ten to
fifteen seconds.
This was the first earthquake shock
ever felt in Nebraska in the history OF the
State. The wave swept over stretcn
about 200 miles square. The center OF
the disturbance was near Norfolk, Nep''
but Tilden, Neb., reports the hardest
shock. At that place dishes were thrown
down, brick walls were cracked, WeAs
dried up and other damage resulted.
Three distinct shocks were felt at 1lIden.
At the Santee Indian agency seVeral
shocks were felt. They were accom-
panied by deep rumblings. On the Oma-
ha and Winnebago reservation the earth
quake terrorized the Indians, VINO had
never experienced anything of the kind.
The Indians were holding festivities IN
honor of visitors from the Indian Terri
tory. Hundreds were gathered in the big
tent when the shocks came. Fright seiz-
ed the gathering and the dances were
broken up. These agencies are not far
from Mount Ioula, Nebraska's volcano,
and the Indians Immediately gave that
mountain the credit for the disturbances.
Two hundred towns felt the disturb
ances Among those reporting the hard
est shocks are Tilden, Oneil, Petersburg,
Elgin, Oakdale, Battle Creek, Norfolk,
Ewing, Neigh, Randolph and Clear
water.
At Battle Greek there was almost
panic. Houses shook perceptibly and
rumbling noises resembling thunder add
ed to the terror of the inhabitants of the
place. Many rushed into the streets and
for some time would not go near struc-
lures that were likely to cause injury in
case of possible collapse. The yibra-
tions were SO pronounced as to knock
down insecurity fastened ornaments and
rattle dishes. The tremor continued for
about fifteen seconds and was felt at
many near by towns.
Yaakton, S. D., felt a shock of twelve
seconds duration. The disturbance seems
to have been more clearly felt along the
boundary line between Nebraska and
South Dakota, although a number Of
places in both States We're affected.
In Omaha the shake was barely dis
cernible and few people knew of such a
thing until the weather bureau reported

Under Chandeliers Wings.
One morning as walked about the
yard I saw the hen looking as con-
tented as ever. But where were her
chickens? She had never left them
before, but now they were nowhere to
be found. hunted high and low, but
all in vain; 1 could not find them. My
mother came into the house laughing,
and asked her what she was laugh
ing about. She said I should look in
the corner of the shed. I did so,
and to my surprise there were my lost
chickens under our rooster, having a
fine time peeping out from under his
wings. Marjorie Gage, :.

His Snakeship at Home Any
At one time as was walking in an
open field I discovered a large snake.
There was brook running through
this field. The water in the brook
was very clear. chased the snake
into the water. The minute the snake
saw me it went into the water, swan
across the brook, and entered small
hole on the other side. This seemed
very peculiar to me, for thought only
water snakes could swim. The snake
swims just as if he were crawling. I
noticed afterward that it was COM
mon thing for snake to swim. Snakes
very often make one entrance to their
house in the water.
