SIOUX CITY BEATEN AT BASKET BALL
Contests Bfw tho Loral Me
Prove interesting and Close,
with a Fair Division (
the llonori,
The filoux 'City banket ball gladiators
were put In the basket and the lid crowded
down. That ia the most important memory
of the high achool Interclaxa athletic meet
ing yesterday evening In the Young Sien a
Christian association gymnasium. Several
years of competition have bred a very
strong spirit of rivalry amnpg the classes
and the only time during the whole evening
when the boys were not rooting for one
year or the other was when the Omaha
High school team lined up against ths vis
itors from Bioux City. The first half re
sulted In a srore of 15 to 23 In favor of the
local team. The second was 22 to 17 for the
visitors. The total, however. 40 to 37 for
Omaha, was what the crowd wanted, and
It Is a good thing the roof of the building
Is to be taken off so soon, for It would not
stand many more such blasts.
It mast be admitted that on a court
equally familiar to both teams Sioux1 City
Would probably have won. Anderson did
some really excellent work for his side,
missing only three foul goals out of a large
number of chanefs. Clark for Omaha was
able to drop the ball through pretty- regu
larly for his side, but was not In quite the
form of tha other. The Bioux City men
played a fast game with very good team
work and were rather unfortunate with the
basket, which seemed to be covered with a
pane of glass. At one time In the second
half, too, Omaha kept the sphere doing
some really wonderful balancing work on
the edges of the hoop. Bearle at center was
a little quicker for Omaha at. the ball than
Elliott. Kavan of Omaha acted as umpire
and Weseott of Bioux City as referee. The
lineup follows:
OMAHA H. S.
Clark R. P.
Hall L. F.
Bearle C.
Walsh R. a.
Lindsay L. O.
SIOUX CITT H. S.

Bla-h School Class Events.
A very large number of members of the
classes who were unable to qualify most
of them because they are girls stood on
the side lines during the Interclass track
events and waved class flags and created
more noise than the high school band,- 1
which Is quite a few Itself in a small room.
The first event was the standing broad
jump. This was won by Bearle, a senior,
who covered 9 feet 2 inches. Cramer and
Latenser, both sophomores, followed in the
order named. The shotput, which was sec
ond on the program, went to the juniors,
Burnett putting It 34 feet S inches. McKell
of the sophomore class was second and
Bearle third. The basket ball game came
next, and after the smoke had cleared
away a thirty-yard dash was performed
through the hallway and into the gym
nasium to the time of three and four-fifths
seconds. Beard of the seniors struck the
tape first and Bonnell, a freshman, was
second.
The obstacle race was very popular. ' It
deserved It. The boys had to squirm
through a ladder, swing over the parallel
bars, crawl under a gymnasium mat that
seemed to think It was playing at smother
ing, around a post and back the same way.
The seniors won, the team consisting of
JJndsay, Balrd and Rnsslg getting through
In 1 minute and 7 seconds. Rippey, De
ljnatre and Owens, the sophomore team,
dUt the trick In 1:20. Ward, Anderson and
Burnett represented the Junior class and
Dowd, Nagle and Bunnell the freshmen.
The relny race was fast and amusing and
on young runner plowed up several of his
acquaintances after a failure to turn at
the post. The seniors took the money in
1:00H. the sophomores were second one-fifth
later, the freshmen and the Juniors tying.
A fierce wrestling bout between Walsh or
the senior class and De La mat re of the
sophomores was given to the latter on the
time limit. In the rope climbing contest
Balrd, a fourth class man, reached the
celling In better time than the others.
' The program ended with a fiercely on
tested game of basket ball between the
freshmen and the sophomores. This was
the final of the school championship, the
other games having been played off before.
The game went to the sophomores by a
core of 23 to U.

Warm Insurance Promoter Talks
Policy When Palled Oat of
the Water.
"Ship ahoy!" came out of the darkness
from somewhere across the waves, In a
most unexclted tone yesterday morning
at 2 o'clock and smote upon the ear drums
of Captain Allison Brady, who waa pilot
ing the good tug Confidence around the
battery. New York harbor. At that hur
of the morning running was pretty clear
and easy In the bay, and Captain Brady
was listening to the piston rods below
deck pounding on In their musical little
way, thinking, too, of "bis past life and
things In general.
He looked out upon the black water
seeing nothing but a Pennsylvania Annex
boat a half mile away. "It Is nothing,"
he said to himself. "I am dreaming,"
Another cry sent the skipper's night glass
into his hands aVd up to his fine, piercing
eye. Telephotographed upon his aston
ished brain was this picture: ,
Floating In the chilly water a man In a
dress suit; on his head a silk hat of fault
less block, whose surface was hardly ruf
fled, as it proved later, by the mild ca
resses of the Battery eddies.
As the captain gazed, there came from
over the wave a snatch of "Oh, Give Ua
a Drink, Bartender."
Captain Brady hove to and a rescue was
quickly, accomplished. One of the res
cuers clumsily knocked off the man's hat
and It was churned by the propeller. That
didn't bother the rescued man. Tall and
handsome he was. He didn't shiver and
his teeth didn't chatter.
With one arm around the engineer's neck
and the other around that of tha Junior
stoker, he addressed himself to Captln
Brady:
"My name, sir, Is Sidney Brewster, Insur
ance, of Elisabeth, N. J., and New York
City. If you don't mind, I'd like to talk a
little Insurance to you. No, no. It's no
trouble.
"What says George Washington? In
time of peace prepare for war. What says
the old proverb T A stitch in time saves

man's life when he must look death In the
face and remember whether or not he Is
leaving good deeds behind him. There is
no good deed like a policy in a staple com
pany In favor of the good wife and the lit
tle children.
- "And, sink or swim, live or die, every
head of a family should carry a little fire

leave your cosy little flat"
Just then he caught sight of the Statue
of Liberty, and sang a little ditty In honor
of "Llbertea."
Captain Brady got him to go downstairs.

an easy chair, Mr. Brewster dosed off to
sleep, singing softly to himself, "There )s

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Large Shipments of Spring Merchandise
Tax Facilities of Railways.
FACTORIES OF ALL CLASSES ARE BUSY
Several New Records Established
la Iran a ad Steel Trade Bis;
Increase In Railroad
Earnings.
NEW YORK. March 24.-R, O. Dun A
Co. 's. Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will ssy:
Spring trade responds to seajKnahle
weather and shipments of merchandise
have Increased so rapidly that railway
facilities are severely taxed. At many
points there Is complaint of car and motive
fower shortage, and navigation on the
akes and rivers at the north has not
ripened as promptly as business demands.
The customary damage from floods has
rendered many mills Idle, and several minor
events, added to the number of unem
ployed; but these temporary adverse fea
tures are more than offset by the resump
tion of out-door work, especially in build
ing operations and on the forms. Buyers
are arriving In large numbers at primary
markets, warm weather accelerating Easter
trade. Manufacturing activity continues,
the best news of the week coming from the
Iron and steel industry, where new records
are constantly being established. Textile
plants are also Increasingly busy, but
there is freouent complaint of small profit
because of blgh cost of production, partic
ularly as to raw material and labor.
Railway etvnlngs for the first two weeks
of March .-ere 7.9 per cent larger than last
year, a.-.i foreign commerce at this port for
the last week shows a gain of 12,077,012 In
exports and 175,2nO In Imports, as compared
with 1904. Holders and makers of Iron and
steel products appear to have secured con
trol of the situation. It is no longer, con
sidered desirable to delay the placing of
contracts In expectation of better terms.
Although boom conditions have been
avoided thus far and comparatively steady
quotations prevail, it Is possible that In
some departments of the Industry urgent
orders may soon go abroad. Two special
features have developed during the past
week: A maximum movement of Iron ore
was announced and the largest single con
tract on record for steel billets was placed.
In addition the recent record breaking out
put of coke was further Increased.
Strength is seen In the hide marKet, es
pecially for native steers of midwinter
salting, and sole leather branded hides are
in limited supply. Leather Is quiet, tanners
Voiding for better prices than most manu
facturers offootwear are wilting to pay.
Salesmen of the New England footwear
manufacturers who are In the west report
liberal Initial fall orders, business on the
whole comparing favorably with any pre
ceding week this year.
Failures this week numbered 255 In the
United States, against 226 last year, and 16
In Canada, compared with 15 a year ago.

BRADSTREETS REVIEW OF TRADE
Commercial Conditions, Despite Few
Irregularities, Show Improvement.
NEW YORK, March 24.-Bradtreet's to
morrow t111 ssy: i
While reflecting Irregularities, due to
rainy weather at the euHt and south, high
water in central western rivers and poor
conditions of country road generally, the
volume of distributive trade and the move
ment of Industry hold interest recorded
last week. The tenor of advices Is even
better. Retail trade at the largo cities Is
livening up as spring sdvunceti. Crop re
peats, especially (roin winter wheat, are
liicreaaliiKiy favuruble notably in the soutn
west. Hallway earnings reflect a heavy
grain movement, a large movement of Iron
and allied products and heavy mcrchumlixe
shipments In n Increase of 9 per cent for
the. nmt half of March. Money has burd
ened at a number of cities, but collections
still lf
Evpecially active lines of trade are dry
goota, shoes snd clothing, notably at the
west. Lumber, hardware, paints and nils
reflect In the country wido the approach
of active building season and hide and
leather are kutlve snd firmer at leading
west and eaetern market. Farm machinery
and Implement tealerg report demand ac
tive In the northwest. v
The really remarkable feature In current
Industry l. however, the contlnusnce of
the heretofore heavy Inquiry for all kinds
of iron and steel, crude and finished. Light
on this matter Is furnished by reports that
railroad building this year will be the
heaviest for years. Opinion Is Increasing

prices higher and beyond the line of safety,

STRATEGY OF JAPANESE SPIES
Settle Down In Russia's Capital
Before the War and Jump When
the Alarm Sounded.
Here is a recent story In regard to the
system of espionage employed by the Jap
anese, which I find in a letter from St.
Petersburg, published In one of the French
papcra
It Is a vivid picture of what these won
derful soldiers are willing to do In the
Interest of their country:
Toward t"he end of 1898 a Japanese from
Kiu-Slu arrived in Bt Petersburg and
opened a tea house on the Ncvsky Prospect,
Shops of this kind simply swarm In the
Russian capital, but all the same the Jap
ancse prospered exceedingly. In view of
the big business he anticipated at the Eas
ter festivities during the following spring
the tea merchant got over five of his fel
low countrymen as assistants. These were
all extremely agreeable, tactful young men
who quickly Ingratiated themselves with
the aristocratic clientele of the shop.
But, despite the prosperity of their busi
ness the Japanese did not seem happy
Their melancholy was noticed, and at last
they confessed their secret. They did not
in the least mind leaving Japan; they were
delighted with Russia. What they did not
like was to remain foreigners on the soli
of their adopted country. Their dearest
wish, they said, was to become naturalized
Russians, and to be admitted Into the or
thodox church.
The idea appealed to the aristocratic cus
tomers of the tea shop, and in due course
they were admitted into the orthodox
church and made Russian citizens.
Shortly after this the five new Russians
wanted to get married and found families.
Once more their customers interested them
selves in their behalf. Brides were found
in the shape of pretty young Russian work
girls, dowries provided by subscription and
the marriage ceremony duly performed.
Tlmo went on, children were torn, and ev
erything in the various menages seemed
to be most satisfactory when suddenly the
war broke out Two days later the Rus
sian-Japanese teamen had all disappeared,
leaving their wives and families behind
them in St Petersburg. 6t Petersburg so
ciety was flabbergasted. The confidences
it had unfortunately Imparted to the tea
men went to Toklo in the form of private
reports to the Japanese general staff, while
the heroes of the story, all captains or lieu
tenants in the Japanese army, went back
to their respective regiments. London M.

STEAM MAKES THE MARE GO
Frisky Animal Lands on a Coir
catcher and Gets an Ia
l nominious Ride.
- A little roan mare, owned by Alpheus
Llbby, a farmer, living on the Flagg Pond
road in the northern part of Saco, Me.,
rode on the cowcatcher of the locomotive
of No. 260 from the North street crossing
to the cut just west of Bradley street, a
distance of half a mile. When the freight
stopped the animal, after being helped
from the pilot, trotted down the track.
The) miraculous escape of the mare Is
the talk of the town. Horses have walked
over railroad bridges and trailed over rail
road ties for miles, but never before has a
horse ridden on the cowcatcher.
Alpheus Llbby was peddling produce on
North street While he was dickering with
a comely housewife near Nott street his
mare started off alone at a slow pace up
the street. When Mr. Llbby came out of
the house he saw the little mare saunter
ing off and started In pursuit. He was
gaining on the mare when a laundry cart
came along, and hie horse tried to make a
race of it
Farmer Ltbby's eyesight Is not as good
as when he waa young and he lost sight
of his outfit in the darkness. Just before
he reached the North street crossing of the
Boston & Maine a freight passed along at a
high rate of speed. When the farmer
reached the crossing the rig was not In
sight, and supposing' the horse had gone
along to his home on North Saco, he called
at the home of Harlan P. Cobb and told
him of his predicament. Mr. Cobb hitched
up Bis horse and took Mr. Llbby home,
seven miles. Tle rig had not been seen

It is thoroughly
matured, soft and rich
there end the farmer returned to the city
once more. '
Near the North etrect crossing a man
came along and told Mm of the thrilling
ride that had been taken by the little
mare. The horse and pung, loaded with
produce, reached the North street cross
ing at the same Instant as the Boston
freight. The pung wss hurled to the side
of the track, behind the gate shanty.
The train wae moving at a high rate
of speed when It struck the rig, and not
until Bradley street waa reached could the
engineer to bring the locomotive to a stand
still. Then It was discovered that the
horse wae still on the pilot. The brake
man, the engineer and the fireman got the
mare on her feet and they were struck
dumb with astonishment when she started
down the track over the snow-covered ties.
At that time the trainmen supposed that
the driver of the rig had been killed, and
City Marshal Dennett was notified to this
effect So Mr. Llbby's next task was to
hunt up the marshal and prove himself
unharmed.
The mare was as frisky after her peril
ous half mllo ride on the front end of the
locomotive as before. She was led to the
stable of City Marshal Dennett, where a
veterinary surgeon found thai with the ex
ceptlon of a few cuts on the legs the mare
was uninjured. Boston Blobe.
