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. I,. F Goodwin R. F Anderion C Elliott L. O Miller R. O. ....... Wendall 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. Mix Literature and Ball.

JCLLY LAD RIGHT InThE SWIM 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 nine. You can't dodge ' the truth of proverts. There comes a time In every 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 Insurance. Think of itl Some day you 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. Stretched before the red-mouthed boiler In an easy chair, Mr. Brewster dosed off to sleep, singing softly to himself, "There )s no place like home." New York Times. Brother Dickey's Philosophy.

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.

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. A. P. 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 All that is best in whiskey you . will find in Old Underoof. Rye 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. Doluar lour Work.
