Ernest Zeidler of Jefferson has re-
turned from San Francisco where he
was visiting at the time of the earth
quake, and relates his experiences as
follows: Mr. Zeidlers experience has
been much the same as those related by
other refugees. He was thrown out of
bed by the quake, shared the camping
out experience, and was a witness of
many of the narrowing scenes which fol-
lowed. He was given free transporta-
ton to GAINESVILLE. People met the train
all the way and furnished the destitute
ones with food and clothing. A large
number who left Oakland without nee
essary wearing apparel were fitted out
in good shape when they reached Chi
cago. At one place the train he was on
had to be side tracked for an hour and a
half in order to let relief trains pass.
The passengers during that time were
taken to park and given a bountiful
spread. Then they were taken to the
! depot and told to 'take their pick" from
lot of clothing which had been gath
cred there by the townspeople. At one
small town people came to the train
with provisions. including warm canned
milk for the children. The people were
extremely kind all along the line.

weather Eorec asts for May.

The Mars equinox extending from
early May until into July will have a
strong influence over meteorological con-
ditions of the intervening months, ac-
cording to Rev. Irl r. Hicks. The first
storm period of May falls from the I'd to
9th. A very warm wave for the season
followed by rain and thunder storms will
pass from west to east. A regular storm
central on the 9th will sweep progress
sively across the country with a tendency
of violent tornado storms to be followed
by cool weather and frosts. Another
violent storm may be looked for from
the 18th to 10th The Mars and Mer-
curry disturbances blending makes it
probable that unusually destructive
storms will prevail about this date. A
regular storm period runs from the 10Th
to 23d promising one of the most violent
periods of May Low barometers, very
warm humid atmosphere and electrical
storms of marked severity will prevail
at the first and continue to the end. A
reactionary storm is central from Goth to
28th. The last day of May is the begin
ming of a regular storm period which
will express itself during the opening
days of June We will say in closing
that, under ordinary conditions, the out
look for June is exceptionally threaten
ing. The storm diagram for that month
shows that the Mars the Venus and the
June solstice periods are all central in
June. Extreme and phenomenal results
may be expected, and the conditions in
May will indicate the general character
of phenomena to look for. A general
maximum of electrical storms, with many
seismic and volcanic disturbances are
among the pre- eminent probabilities.
The Mars periods, blended with the
Venus and June solstice periods, as we
have stated, will bring phenomenal ex-
tremes Of one kind or another. If not
an excess of storms of rain, wind and
thunder, then look for phenomenal var
iations in temperature, prolonged cloudi-
ness and brassiness of sky, with many
earthquake and volcanic outburst in all
regions where such things are common.

GAINESVILLE

During a storm the first part of the
week horse on Peter Lund's farm in
the town of Avon was felled to the earth
by bolt of lightning, while the boy VIII
was leading it and the other horses he
was driving escaped serious injury. The
young man was dazed by the shock but
succeeded in getting the team to the
barn. Surprising that the other horse
was dead, Mr. Lund notified the agent of
the mutual insurance company of his
loss, but when the latter arrived on the
scene about three hours later the plucky
beast had revived and seemed to have
sustained no lasting i'll effects.
Complaint was made to President
Richard Valentine of the HUI name So
ciety Friday charging John @ Hill, So
Oakland avenue, with having i'll treated
his horse by having driven the animal a
distance of Is miles in two hours and
thirty minutes. The alleged cruelty
took place Friday morning. it being
claimed that Mr. Hill, one of the local
rural route mail carriers, left the post
Office here at s o'clock and covered all of
Route No 3, returning to town at 1870
o'clock when he was not due until 2
o'clock in the afternoon. President Val
entine stated that he was in possession
of evidence that would show that Mr.
Hill made the drive just to show certain
parties that such an act was possible
with his horse.
Besides being indisposed and confined
to his home, Patrick Garvin suffered
additional discomfort Saturday morning
by being deprived OF considerable por-
ton of his confidence in human nature.
An old baseball pal sought him out at
his house, broke the news gently that he
was broke, and asked him for the loan
of enough money to buy transportation
to Freeport. Without hesitation Mr.
Garvin agreed to accommodate him and
not having the change handed him a
five-dollar bill with instructions to go
out and have it broken and return the
change. When a reasonable time had
elapsed and the old acquaintance had
not put in an appearance, Mrs Garvin
called up the police department. With
Officer Brown she sought out the man,
getting ready to shake the dust of James
vile from his feet, and as just punish
mont for his ingratitude he was com
PEELED to disgorge not only the change
but the whole face value of the bill.

PAINTERS GO OUT ON STRIKE
FOrty-Five Men Say They May he
Followed by Three
Hundred.

Forty-fve painters and paper hangers
employed by Rutherford & Jensen walked
out on a strike Saturday morning, the
chief point In controversy being a demand
for an increase in wages from a minimum
of 40 cents an hour to 421s cents an hour.
No negotiations are on between the union
and the firm and members of the latter say
they propose TO fight affairs to the finish
Besides the advance in wages questions in
volving Saturday afternoons of and the
closed shops are concerned in the scale
the Union desires signed. The men who
went out say the strike is but the pre-
cursor of a larger one that will involve
the 800 men of the trade in the city and
the employers intimate something Of the
kind.
This is the busiest season OF the year
for the house papering and interior decora-
ton firms and the strikers say they are
confident concessions will be granted
within two weeks. They assert also they
worked this week with the understanding
that Rutherford g. Jensen would sign the
new scale.
There is a good deal to the trouble"
said a member of Rutherford & Jensen.
From our standpoint the meat OF It is
that we have decided not to stand for the
dictation of the unions any longer. We
are now paying as high as so cents an
hour to some men, although the minimum
is 40 cents. The increased demand Is
hardly the real issue. Other things in
which we believe the union is asking more
than it is entitled to are the real points
in controversy"
