THE STOCK MARKET.

The INDEPENDENT never likes to say,
II told you so." But we cannot help
referring to former issues in which
we predicted that financial disaster
would be the result of the stock
gambling encouraged by the "pil-
lars" OF the Central Union Church.

The men and women who cannot
afford to go into the whirlpool OF
gambling had no business to do 80,
and they feel the burden now when
the promoters are calling for assess-
ments.

We have not word to say against
the value of the numerous concerns.
The day may come when dividends
will be paid and profits derived.
But remember that the day is far
away.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-07-22

The dream has been dispelled and
the gamblers-poor fools-have seen
that the promoters over-capitalized
the stocks of their "paper" planta-
tions and then sold out, at any price,
their paid up stocks, their assessable
shares, besides pocketing the cash
in sight.

HUNTING IN WINTER TIME.
One Philipsburg Sportsman Gets Duck
and the Other a Ducking.

DR.. E. F. Conyngham and Surveyor
George W. Wilson took few hours
recreation last Monday, to hunt tLs
festive mallard, which infests the
ponds on Georgetown flats at all sea
sons Of the year. Duck hunting on
the flats is attended with many note
worthy incidents, especially in the
winter time, when the snowshoe is
the most essential part of the sports
mans outfit The principal ponds on
the flats are fed by springs which never
freeze over, which makes it desir-
able place for water fowl to spend the
winter. Ducks, however, know their
business. and the approach of real
sportsmen makes them very uneasy,
even if he wears snowshoes and is
otherwise disguised by bed sheets and
the like. The best way to get ducks
on the flats is to shoot them at long
range-say anywhere from thousand
yards up-or have a flying machine
and run them down.
The doctor and Mr.. Wilson report
having had a splendid days sport
and that hunting was never better on
the flats than last Monday. The
weather was excellent, and getting
aboard their Canadian snowshoes they
commenced survey Of the hunting
grounds. Large flocks of mallards
were seen everywhere, but the hunters
had not come prepared to bring all of
the game home and were obliged to
let most of the fowl 60 by.
Everything went we'll until the doc
tor broke through the snow into pool
of nice, warm water, wetting his
snowshoes up to his waist. Mr.. Will
son came to his rescue and the chase
after ducks was resumed. A farm
house was at last reached and it is said
the doctor was prevailed on to accept
the loan OF dry pair Of trousers. The
hospitable resident of Georgetown flats
is man of only moderate size, and
the pants were trifle short at the an.
kles for the doctor but some who saw
the hunters come home insist that the
doctor was rugged out in highland cos
tune. We came near overlooking the
most important point of all-the game.
MI. Wilson had in his possession a fine
large mallard duck, while a notch cut
in the DOCTORS gun stock indicates a
ducking. The doctor would have
brought home more game, but he
claims Mr.. Wilson secured all of the
ducks that the man on Georgetown
flats had on hand, while he was chang
ing trousers. which incident was re-
sponsible for Mr.. Wilson having the
most game.

a Prolific Ouadruprd.

A story is told concerning a we'll
known rancher who has resided near
New Chicago for many years and who
enjoys the confidence and respect of all
his neighbors. 1t appears that this
prominent farmer never engaged in
raising cattle, and, in fact, never would
even own a COW until last year. Some
how or another one of his neighbOrs
got the best Of him and induced him to
| buy mich COW, and now it is said
that this very COW quite an ancient
critter ut that) has got two calves.
Some claim that since the cow had two
calves last year she ought to have at
least three this year, ard the valley
ranchers a-e wondering what particular
kind OF hay grows on this mans ranch.
Several OF his neighbors are negotiating
to pasture their cows on this ranch,
| while some Of the more superstitious
ones go rs far as to intimate that the
stock association should be made ac-
qualnted with the peculiar circum-
stance. Of course. no one would think
that there is anything wrong if COW
happens to have two calves, butjf this
COW should double her increase every
year and have four calves this year and
eight the next and so on, the calves
would soon be more numerous around
New Chicago than gophers are in some
sections, and the matter should be
looked after. The man with the COW.
however, is loosing no sleep over all
these calves and intends to teach his
nelghDors something about the cattle
business

FELL DOWN THE SHAFT
James Mcdonald Meets With a Peculiar Acct
dent in the Granite Mine.
DROPPED OVERAHUNDRED FEET
Was Caught Between the Wall and the
Pipe and Escaped Almost Certain
Death-Not a Bone Broken.
A Miraculous Escape.

James Mcdonald, one of the men
engaged in repairing the shaft of the
Granite mine had miraculous escape
from death last Saturday afternoon.
The men were at work near the 800
foot level, when Mr.. Mcdonald in
some way stepped from the cage and
dropped down the shaft. The signal
was at once given to the engineer to
lower the cage, and it was expected
that Mr.. McDonald's lifeless form
would be found in the water some dis
tance below. 1t was happy surprise
when his voice was heard, and Mr..
Mcdonald was found about 10 feet
from where he had fallen, standing on
the wall-plate, and his greetings were
Il am all right, boys - In some
manner he became wedged between
the wall and pipe in the pipe shaft,
which checked the fall. and although
he was bruised considerably Mr. Nc
Donald was able to eytricate himself,
and standing Oil the wall-plate he
awaited the arrival of his companions.
He was at once taken to the surface
and removed to his home, where Doc
tors Conyngham and Humphreys made
an examination. The injuries were
found to be slight and no bones were
broken, although Mr.. Mcdonald was
considerably bruised about the head
and body and his nerves had
sustained severe shock. He is now
recovering from his injuries and is
getting along as well as can be expected
under the circumstances. That.he was
not killed is nothing less than a mir
acle. Mr.. Mcdonald was certainly
born under lucky star

amount in the till to change the bill,
and the lucky editor was compelled to
cache it over night under the bed,
until John w. Dawson opened the
bank the next morning. While max
ing the rounds he neglected to call at
The Mail Office, where the neces.
sary change might have been made. as
we have long cherished the idea. that
to have few 81, 900 bills conveniently
at hand would greatly simplify mat
ters and make things easier and more
comfortable at the business end of the
institution.
r. H. Hereford, the we'll known ac-
countant, admits having had the bill
in his own hands and can vouch for
it's genuineness. Mr.. Herford is taken
as undisputed authority on such mat
ters, as he has been connected more or
less with the newspaper business for
years and consequently has had ample
opportunity of frequently handling and
critically examining bills of this de.
nomination. Upon careful inquiry,
however, Mr.. Hereford reluctantly ad-
mitted that while conversing with Mr..
Ion Hoss, who allowed him to fondle
the bill awhile. Mr.. Abe Hoss, the ed
itor's brother. stood facing him in the
doorway with the Office AK in one hand
and shooting stick in the other Un.
der the circumstances, Mr.. Hereford,
after satisfying himself of the genuine
ness of the bill and furtively glancing
at Abe and wondering why that gem
tleman stood there, returned the treas
nre with sigh. Who could blame
him? We imagine that we would feel
just as he did.
