TOOK GIRL AS HIS REWARD.

his daughter.
This German, with his daughter,
was walking beside deep stream on
a summer afternoon when the young
girl slipped on stone, fell in. And
she would have drowned but for the
prompt bravery of youth. He,
slipping off coat and shoes, plunged
in, and after four or five minutes OF
hard work, brought the girl safe
ashore.

try and Retained His Bank Roll.

Frenchman, a German, an Eng.
lishman and an American were sit
ting before an open fire, each one
telling of the greatness of his native
country.
While speaking the Frenchman took
from his wallet dollar bill, rolled
1t up, touched it to the Goals, and
lighted cigar with it.
The others were impressed. and
soon the German opened his wallet,
brought forth a ten-dollar bill, rolled
1t up, touched it to the Goals. and
lighted his cigar with it.
The Englishman thought it very
foolish, but he could not be outdone.
nor have it appear that England was
not, as ever, the richest of all. so he
calmly took s1OO bill and sacrificed
it to light his cigar.
The American looked on in wonder.
He hadn't even a dollar bill with him.
and yet he knew he represented the
leading race of all-which was never
outWitted nor outdone by anyone or
any country; SO he quietly drew forth

WEIGHT DON'T
SUIT WEIGH

Spider WEIGH refuses to accept
Dick Sullivan's offer to box him at 147
pounds at 6 p. M, or $50 pounds ring
side. The best he will allow is for
Sullivan to weigh LAT pounds, ringside.
The local lad fatty objects to such a
proposition.
Meanwhile Welch is languishing for
a fight and it is far from improbable
that Frank Mayield, a Coast boxer OF
some repute, Will be brought down to
meet him.
Eddie Finn, Welchs manager, who
declares that he brought Welch to Ho-
nolulu, states that he did so on the
strength of a verbal agreement with
Sullivan, that the latter would make
140 pounds in order to box WEIGH if
he come down.
Rosenbledt of the Orpheum says that
if Welch fails to get a match on here,
he will get up a benefit for him, and
let him go back to San Francisco with
something in his pockets.
Meanwhile Welch is doing light work
every day.

INDIGO WON
IN A CANTER

Jockey Jim McAuliffe is back from
the woods down Waialua way. For
the past few weeks he has been con-
ditioning Louis Warrens shifty spr.nter
Indigo for a three-eights of a mile
race with a Japanese-owned colt bJ
Shenandoah.
Indigo won several good races in Hilo
at the last meeting but of Yamamoto's
trick little was known, except that the
horse had worked in remarkably fast
time.
The race was run at Mokuleia on
Saturday last. There was not a great
deal of betting owing to the fact that
the japanese demanded odds of to L.
This the Indigo people were chary of
laying. being in the dark as to just how
good the japanese nag might be. The
match was made for a purse Of $500.
McAuliffe on Indigo, jumped off in
the lead and making all the running
won in a canter by four lengths, the
official time being 80 seconds.
McAuIiffe expects to go TO Waikapu,

THE VISITING
YACHTSMEN

Some interesting letters have been
received here from the yachtsmen who
came down in the transpacific race.
Mr.. Hebron has heard from both Tut
and Sinclair, from whose letters the
following excerpts are made:
Mr.. Alters, guest of Mr.. Tut,
writes:

On the 25th. 26th and 9th Lurline
ran into a good nor'wester and made
some excellent runs. She logged PA
miles on the first day. 255 the second
and 235 the third day, when at D. m.
the wind hauled dead aft.
The destinations of the two yachts
were 92T miles apart in latitude, yet
the distance in direct line from Ho-
nOlulu to Cape Flattery is 22S1 miles
and 1926 miles to San Pedro showing a
difference of only "a miles. A glance
at the chart would give one the i'm
preston that it was much further
The log of Anemone has not beens re-
ceived yet but owing to her destination
being so far nortI she made a more
direct course. while Lurline had to
first get north to reach the westerly
winds and then go south again. At
one time she was on the latitude of
San Francisco, although her destina-
ton was 250 miles south of this lat
itude. This shows how a windjammer
has to overcome the difficulties of head
winds when ports do not lie in the
direction the winds trend. In plotting
the course of Lurline on the chart it
was noticed she passed within ten
miles of Reed or Redfeld Rocks on
the 22nd of July. These rocks are
shown on the chart midway between
here and the mainland in latitude 81
deg. 25 min, longitude 1877 deg. 50 min.

titude of 10 feet from the water. The
ocean all about the vicinity is very
deep, going down to a depth of 5000
fathoms, so if there is any rock there
it must be very lofty pinnacle in
deed Whether these rocks really exist
is question but rocks projecting 10
feet could easily be located. In the
meantime shippers are not taking
chances of shipreck by passing over
this uncertain location where hidden
dangers may Turk in their path. It
would be interesting to know if navi-
gators have actually seen these rocks
within a decade.

RECORD OF
THE LURLINE
How the Speedy Yacht
Sailed Back to
the Coast.

| The sailing fleet bound to the Pacific
coast ports were all having Gains and
| head winds during the month of July.
| The two yachts Lurline and Anemone
| experienced poor weather for making
| fast passages. Commodore Sinclair
says:
After all my vain-glorious boasting
about a IS days trip home, here we
are with time used up (this was writ
ten on the 22nd of july and still 1000
miles to go. Head winds and Gains
have been our portion, fine weather for
sailing from San Francisco. but bad
getting back again. We have been as
far north as So deg. and if this S E.
by E. wind holds, will have to go there
again. Shall be fortunate if we make
it in p days. Both my mates say 'un-
usual weather. but that don't help
much.
On the 14th inst, eight days out. we
saw Anemone about ten miles on our
lee quarter in latitude "a deg. AZ min.
longitude 153 deg. We had just tackled
TO the east about an hour before while
she was heading to the N y. w. We
ran down to her signalling Glad to
see you to which they replied Thanks.
We ran close to her, exchanged longi-l
tudes. gossiped a little, then goodbye
and we again stood to the eastward.
AS it turned out we should have kept
on for another day or two to the north.
after we left you off Diamond
Head. we made a tack inshore to the
E. of the headland by which we lost
ground, then stood off until we got the |
same breeze the Anemone had. We |
were then about a mile ahead and to J
windward of her but she outpointed us i
about IL point, my sails being such a |
poor fit. We outfooted her, however, |
and at y. m. We're about two miles |
dead ahead of her. We then went |
about and she did the same about ten
minutes later. On the starboard tack
the seas were more abeam and we i
went away from her fast. She was
carrying both gait topsails, but we
were not. In the head sea she would
stick her bowspirit under about same
as Lurline. At dark she was about five
miles astern and a point to windward.
We cleared Makapuu point on that
tack by five miles. Did not see her
again until the 14th. I can not carry
gaff topsails on the wind in a head
sea as she jumps the wind right out
of them unless I keep off a point. This
makes it bad for me but shows the
need of good sail-maker.'
Commodore Sinclair sent down a
copy Of his log showing the position
of the Lurline each day at noon. It is
given herewith.

The Union Stock Yards bank, the

under the state law until the year 1881, when
It was converted into a national bank. Dur

Financial Institutions
Bank Clearing. for q Decade.

Omaha has for many years ranked with
the leading financial and money centers Of
the west. The old-established banking
houses in Omaha have acquired wide rep
utation for stable and prudent management.
AS one of the national reserve cities, Omaha
has extensive deposits from the banking
houses of the cities and towns in the in
terror of this and adjacent states. The
growth OF Omaha's banking business is
strikingly shown by comparison of the
clearing house record for the past decade
and by comparison of the aggregate de-
posits in Omaha financial institutions. with
their deposits in former years. In 1890 de-
posits in Omaha and South Omaha banks
aggregated a fraction over s1s,0o0O0o and the
clearings aggregated sl75.OOO.OOO. In 1905 the
deposits of Omaha and South Omaha banks
aggregated 100000 and the clearngs have
amounted up to $445,O0O,O0O.
