SEISMIC DISTURBANCES
Earthquakes Felt In Portions of Nebraska.
Iowa. South Dakota and California
People Terr fled at Lompoc

Omaha, Neb., July 29.-An earth
quake shock, which was general over
portions of Nebraska, western Iowa
and South Dakota, occurred shortly
before one o'clock yesterday. The
seismic disturbances were felt at a
large number of towns in the three
states and lasted from ten to Is sec
onds. No damage has been reported
thus far, although the shock was
sufficient to rattle dishes and affect
bell towers in some places. Yanl<ton,
S. D., reports shock of - seconds
duration; Santee agency, in northern
Nebraska, reports the occurrence of
a quake and Battle Creek, Neb., was
shaken for 20 seconds. The dis
turbance was more plainly felt at the
latter place than any others which
have thus far reported. In this city
the shake was largely discernib1e and
few people knew of such thing until
the weather bureau reported last
night

Lompoc, Cal, July 29.-Lompoc
valley experienced a severe Garth
quake shock at 1885 Sunday night

ran from their houses, some fearing
to return, as other lighter shocks
continued for several hours after
ward. Another heavy shock was felt
at five a. IN. and one at II a. m. yes
terday. A large water tank was

DEATH UNDER CARS
JAPANESE OF KOLOA
INSTANTLY KILLED
POOR FELLOW HAD PREmoNITioN
OF COMING EvIL--RAiNcoAT
CAUSED SAD AccI.
DENT.

Koloa, Kauai. Dec. 20.-On Thursday
afternoon, Dec. is. a japanese was
run over by train OF cars and in
stantly killed. He was standing on
an empty car. when he saw the loco
motive switching of about ten cars
on the same track he was on. and pro-
ceeding on the main track. He actual
ly thought that they were going on the
other side track but soon he saw that
they were coming straight for him.
He then got of the car he was stand
ing on and tried to get out OF the way.
The engineer blew several whistles for
him to hurry along, as the cars were
coming towards him at full speed.
AS he was making his way out, his
rain coat dropped on the track He
then picked II up but It got tangled to
the first car and the strain knocked
him on the middle OF the track. Al
this time the men from the engine
dropped all the brakes of the cars. but
the gravity was too much and they
still slid on the track. The Jap's hand
was run ceer, and he, after remaining
for a few seconds. made dash between
the wheels to get out. But he was too
late as the cars had then run over his
hody and he was instantly killed. 1t
was understood from his friends that
he did not feel like going to work that
morning. While he was in the fields
that day he remarked to fellow labor
er or his that he felt as II he would
meet with some misfortune. Sure
enough. after hard days work, he
met his fate.

ONE YEAR
OLD TODAY.

One year ago today the carrier let
ter system was inaugurated in this
city. In that time the people have
become accustomed to the daily COM
ing OF the affable carrier, that they
would feel greatly lost without his
daily visits. should we be so unfortu-
nate as to be deprived of his coming.
urated in this city there were three
carriers. as there are today. The
carriers at the Inauguration and who
still hold the positions. are in the or
der of their seniority and per centage
of examination-Edw w. Cotes.
who has as his route all that territory
west of Fourth street. save the Craw
ford addition. where up to the present
time there is no carrier service.
Edgar A. Rider second in number
has all that territory lying between
Fourth and Sixth streets. both north
and south of Main street.
Stephen 7. Egeness. who has number
three route. carries all the territory
between Sixth street and the eastern
boundary line of the city.
These three gentlemen in the serv-
ice have been most faithful in all
kinds and conditions of weather.
They have been affable and accomo
dating in every particular. They
have in fact been model representa-
tives Of the government mail service.
1t is more than probable that the
carrier force will be increased very
shortly so that the service will take
in Crawford addition and completely
cover the citv. That it has been a
success is unquestionable and the peo-
pte appreciate the service that has
been given the city by the postoffice
department. and the carriers.

MONROE
DOCTRINE.

London. Dec. 15.-An expression of
a desire for peaceful settlement of
the difficulties has been received in
London from the Venezuelan govern
ment. 1t was learned this afternoon
that the proposal now before the
British government is the original
proposal forwarded by Minister Bow
en-. but which has now received
strong support from the United States
government.
The house was crowded tonight
when the Venezuelan matter came up
for debate.
Mr. Schwann. after having express
ed surprise that the government was
anxious for another war after South
Africa. complained of the paucity of
information concerning the Venezue-
Ian situation which has been given
parliament. He said he hoped arbi-
tration would be accepted, because.
although President Roosevelt is anx-
ious to act correctly the situation j.;
full of danger and the presidents S
hands might be forced by politicians.
Lord Cranborn spoke after Mr..
Schwann. He reproached the mem
bers with the desire to discredit the
government. and explained that the
papers in Venezuelan matters were
very voluminous and that those issued
today were only a summary. He
said that Great Britain had to per-
form policy duty among the nations
and had to prevent Venexuela from
breaking the law of knations. The
United States took qible view
that Great Britain s NAnsistence that
Venezuela should MEET her engage
ments was not an il Fraction on the
Monroe doctrine. Al
''No country has bed SRQfe anxious
than Great Britain Mid Lord Gran
borne. ito assist the American gov
ernment in maint;n'nge that doc
trine. -
