niture. cause dogs to bark as in alarm
and children to awaken and cry
Houses creaked and in many instan-
ces their occupants rushed out in ter
ror fearing that the straining beams
and joists would give away.
As far north as Springfield the shock
was distinctly felt. Farther north 1t
grew less perceptible, until in the re-
ion Of Chicago it was not noticed, al
though il is expected that the delicate
instruments placed in the office OF

ined show a seismatic disturbance

last night before the shock came and
the Instruments could not be consult

Indiana were shaken. Messages from
the different towns in those states
say that three distinct shocks in quick
succession were felt. The waves OF
the earth's motion seemed to be from
east to west.

st. Louis, Aug. 22.-+St. Louis and

Three distinct shocks were felt by
thousands CT persons in ST Louis
county as far east as Belleville, ILL.,,
as far south as Paducah, Ky, and as
far north as Springfield, III. While
the JremOrs lasted scarcely a minute
they were distinct enough to awaken
sleeping residents and to cause dogs
to bark in alarm The shock seemed
to travel from east to west There
was but an infinitely small period be
tween them, only a second interven-
ing between the first and seconl and
about three seconds between the sec
ond and third. or final shock.
The trembling OF the earth was &C
companied by a dull rumhling noise
resembling the passing Of a distant
freight train.

The special election of yesterday,
when those qualified to cast their
vote for or against the issuance OF
bonds for the improvement of the
city, passed off exceedingly quiet.
While the interest manifested late in
the afternoon was noticeable, still dur
ing the morning hours there was but
little discussion the business men and
property owners going to the polls
and casting their vote. 1t was not
one Of those heated elections, where
workers and carriages were to be
seen in all portions Of the city.
The total vote cast, as shown la3t
night by the returns of the inspectors
aggregated ass. Precinct No. II cast
the largest vote for issuing bonds,
that being for the providing of a sew
eTage system.
Precinct No. IA, however, one Of the
smallest in the city, got out an un-
usually large number of votes, TAX
ing into consideration the large num-
beT of voters in other precincts. A
large number of prominent men, who
were anxious to see the result favor
able to the issue began work and tele.
phoned about to business men remind
ing them of the election, and in some
Instances went so far as to go after
voters.
Those who favored the issue were
gratified when the vote was counted,
showing an Overwhelming majority
in favor of making the improvements.
Many of the most prominent property
owners believe that now is the time
to advance in progress, and the float
ing of bonds aggegating S750,000 for
the erection of a city hall, police sta
ton, waterworks, paving and sewer
age is a good beginning.

TO BAR NEW YORK LIFE.
Washington Man Would Refuse Insur-
ancc Company Charter.

The following dispatch from Olym-
pia. Wash, is a specimen OF the bitter
feeling against the big life insurance
companies since their dishonesty has
been unearthed.
The insurance commissioner of this
state is asked by c. H. Venner, policy
holder in the New York Life Insur-
ance company. to notify that company
that it cannot transact business in
this state as long as John A. Mccall
and George w, Perkins remain as its
president and vice president.
Venner is the policy holder whose
recent letter demanding the resigna-
tiou of the two Officers of the COM
pany was published throughout the
country. 1t is supposed he has made
the same requests to insurance COM
miSsioners and superntendents in
other states.
The request is based on the ground
that the Investigations of the New
York legislative committee have con-
clusively proved that the officers have
been guilty of gross official miscon-
duct Mr. Venner declares it to be
the duty of the insurance commission
er to bar the company from the state
in the interests of the policy holders.
The secretary of state is eX-officio
| insurance commissioner in Washing
ton. and the insurance department in
! his office is headed by ]. II. Schively,
| deputy commissioner. Both Secretary
of State Nichols and Mr.. Schively are
out of the state, and it is not known
here what reply they will make to the
| Venner request.

Ebert Hubbard, otherwise known
as Fra Elbertus,' the sage of East
Aurora, y. Y. economist, publicist and
an-round philosopher who, from the
citadel Of the Roycrofters breaches
the everlasting gospel of work will be
in Portland tonight. and since the
of widening somewhat the range of
vision of the head of the Roycrofters,
he will have new and inspiriting things
to say to the people here, says the
Portland Evening Telegram.
The American disciple of Ruskin
and William Morris, who has "builded
better than his masters knew" if the
popular estimation of Fra Elbertus'
worth means anything, will be here
tonight.
on the future of the Pacific coast
the sage of East Aurora is most san
guine. In an interview with the Tel
egram correspondent at Seattle he eX-
pressed the belief that on this coast
within a period of quarter of a CEN
tury would be found the financial cen,
ter of the world.
In 80 years" he said. this finan-
cial center has passed from London to
New York. and it must come to the
Pacific coast. because the most natur-
al wealth of the world is to be found
here. 1t is the logical move. and al
ready the tide of wealth is setting this
way"
Fra Elbertus' is virtually the foun-
der of East Aurora. 1t is there that
he has established the workshops that
have made him famous as a bizarre
Industrial promoter. and it is from
there that the influence of his peculiar
philosophy has radiated to all the
country. In the shops at East Aurora
a multitude of the things necessary to
the happiness Of man are made. and
there. every man working at the tasl;
allotted him by nature. revels in the
JOY of producing.
He has been a close student of eco
nomic conditions in this country for
years, and he has some interesting
things to say anent high finance
Relative to the recent exposures OF
mismanagement of the funds of the
big life insurance companies. he said
There has not thus far been any
real supervision of the methods OF
these companies. and there will bt
none until the government undertakes
10 protect the peoples money. The
time is coming when we will insure oul
