A slight earthquake shock was felt
in this city Wednesday night at about
eleven o'clock, when large number of
our citizens were awakened from their

produced by the tremblor. Reports
from Grand Lake and Hot Sulphur
Springs say that the shock was very
distinct in that part of the country.
The cause Of the disturbance is at
tributed to various things BY different

caused by one of the kaiser's submar-

the former case the surplus of al

of the progress that has been made
in business activities during the
past year. Since 1907 this Office
has not had as much work hand
