REMEMBERED TWINS
X. of p. Lodge Members Presented
w. A. ButtleS With a Handsome
Twin GO-Cart Last Night.

Last night, after the regular rou-
tine work in the knights of Pythias
lodge, w. A. Buttles was called to
the front and, with a few compli-
mentary remarks by DR.. D. w. King,
he was presented with a twin go-cart.
The occasion for this lies in the fact
that Mr. Buttles recently became the
father of twins, a boy and a girl.
Mr.. Buttles was very much surprised
at the handsome gift and was loud
in his appreciation of the go-cart.
The gift was paid for by the mem
bers Of the lodge and the order for
this had to go clear to St. Louis, as
it was impossible to secure the char
acter of a carriage desired on the
coast. 1t was made plain last night
in a number of speeches that the
the lodge did not intend to make a
regular practice of making such a
gift to every member who became the
father of twins but inasmuch as Mr..
Buttles was the first one to claim this
distinction it was only right that
some recognition should be made of
his efforts.

1t seems that Wenatchee cannot

Sunday evening a number of people
felt the effects of three or four dis
tinct shocks. Yesterday morning a
large number of people in this city
were positive in their belief that
there had been an earthquake.
This morning just before o'clock
there was a repetition of the shocks
and the Daily World office was called
UP by dozens of people for informa-
tion regarding the second series of
shocks The World man is sorry to
disappoint those people who took
some satisfaction to themselves in
the fact that they had heard a real
quake, but the rafting of the win
dows and doors resulted from the
big shots put off by the waterworks
contractors. The tunnel is now in
quite distance, and the deeper In
the louder the reverberation. A day
and a night crew are working and
shots are fired both night and morn
ing. This is the solution of the
