DIES MONIES, Ia, May 14.-(special)-
Tint the weather conditions have for the
past week been very favorable to the corn
crop and that the damage from the cold
to the small grain has not been nearly
as great as at first predicted is the report
OF the crop service bureau for Iowa today.
The report states that the greatest damage
thus far Is to the meadows and pastures
and the hay crop is likely to be light.
The report says the lowest temperature for
the past week was the morning of the
18th when 1t was g. and the highest was
on the 18th at Sioux City. when 1t was 90
The average for the week was to be-
low the normal The greatest damage to
fruit is in the southern part Of the state
and over the greater part OF the state
for the week ending Monday there was lit
tie or no rainfall. The dry weather, how
ever, saved the corn and the moisture was
sufficient to maintain the life of the seeds.
Withal the report takes a hopeful view of
the crop conditions for the state.

CASHIER RUNKoEo.

Several days ago a well-dressed
young man about 80 years old tried a
clever scheme on the cashier at Aileen
Berg's and made his getaway with $50,
says the El Paso Times. Last night a
man who gave his name at T. S. Ben
nette was arrested by the detective de-
partment and locked up or a charge OF
swindling.
Bennette is alleged to have entered
the millinery establishment conducted
by AIleen Berg and offered 20 silver
LaaI1ars- for 4 hill claiming that ne
wanted the greenback to put in let
! ter When the cashier gave him the
note he put it in an envelope and seal
ed It.
When the cashier counted the silver
she found it one dollar snort, and told
the young man so. He promptly hand
| ed over a sealed envelope, apparently
| the one in which he had placed the
bank note. and said he would have to
step outside and borrow the missing
dollar from a friend Accordingly his
silver was returned, and tne sealed en-
velope taken by the cashier.
The young man did not return, and
when the envelope was opened 1t did
not contain the crisp bill. The cashier
had been buncoed. The police were
notified and Bennette was arrested last
night. He had, among other things, a
deck of playing cards and about $40 in
money.

said that the lightning seemed to

electricity and to send warm current

HAD NO CARGO.
The Lavina on this homeward trip
had no cargo. Since Captain Sam has
had command of the vessel the cargo
was always freight carried from Homo
lulu to island ports.
captain sam rented the Lavinia from
Captain Weisbarth, a veteran seaman
who had many trying experiences In
the same craft. Captain Sam took con-
troll of the vessel on October IS, 1906.
His crew comprised Jimmie, the mate;
Antoine, Pohaku, Henry and Pho, SAIL
ors.
A CENTENNIAL BOAT.
Captain Sam says that the Lavinia
came to Honolulu from the Coast in
1876 He believes she was known then
as the Waiole and was owned by
Frank Cooke. She passed into the
hands of Lavinia Kapu, and the name
was then changed to Lavinia. She
was owned by Allen & Robinson and
finally came into the possession of Cap
tain Weisbarth. She Is vessel of
about forty tons and has been used in
inter-island trade and also carried
suano from Laysan Island to Homo
lulu.
CAPTAIN SAM, wHALER.
Captain Sam began his sea career in
the early eos, when he went to Cali
fornia and thence to the Arctic on a
whaler. He has sailed up and down
the Pacific Coast and has been in
various ports of Mexico.
MADE MEMORABLE TRIPS.
The Lavinia has had an interesting
history. on June 25, 1904, the Lavinia
returned from a trip to the French
Frigate Shoals, where Captain Weis-
barth went to wreck the fine French
bark Connetabel de Richmont. The
little schooner returned in 81 days with
vast amount of plumber, comprising
windlasses. pumps, hawsers, wire ca
bles and about everything movable on
the vessel.
people here began TO give the little
vessel up and protested that she had
met a similar fate to that of the Con-
netabel de Richmont But she came
back with stuff worth several thou>
sands of dollars
Just two years ago, or on January
l, 1905, the Lavinia returned from Pal
myra Island with n cargo of cocoanuts.
While lying off Palmyra a gale was
encountered The captain shifted the
vessel to seaward and anchored. But
the conditions changed from bad to
worse. The schooner heeled almost
completely over and everything NOV
able on deck was lost overheard, in
Guiding the fish-box. so that the crew
had some Of its food supplies lost.
Then the anchor chain parted and the
vessel drifted. but new anchors were
made from scraps of iron, and when
these were thrown overheard they
proved effective and the vessel was
saved from destruction. The steering
gear was also smashed.

An UNCANNY
ADVENTURE

Because an alleged kahuna was slap
ped across the face by an intoxicated
man the police were called in and
while placing the fellow under arrest
were led to make the mistake OF also
trying to arrest a corpse.
On Saturday evening at o'clock one
Pihanui Nihoa died at his home in
Moiliili. His son-in-law. Kauaihou Ka-
uahi, came home about an hour be-
fore midnight, feeling somewhat gay
from the effects OF Saturday night
celebration down town. On nearing the
house he heard the dismal sounds of
wailing, and wailing among Hawaiians
Is most usually heard nowadays when
there is death. Kauahi entered the
house and found an assemblage of rel
atives and friends bemoaning the death
OF Nihoa
Kauahi took note of all present and
then singled out one whom he accused
of being a kahuna and responsible for
the death Of his father-in law. Kau-
ahi showed his disapproval of the ka-
huna's presence by slapping him in the
face and ordering him from the house.
His belligerent spirit arose when he
had inflicted corporal punishment on
the alleged kahuna and he was appa-
rently filled with desire to do up"
the whole crowd. He went TO his room.

the room where the corpse lay, ordered
theentire company to leave. He flourish

If any remained. The room was emp
tied in a hurry and Kauahi then stood
lonely guard over the old mans body.
Shortly before midnight came a
heavy rain and the mourners were
drenched TO the skin. Even then Kau-
ahi would not relent and permit them
to return TO the house. Finally one OF

Will also be cut out of the bill in COM
mittee. 1t has been proposed to vote
appropriations for lines from San
Francisco, via Honolulu, to Australia

great howl on the plea that 1t would
inure to the benefit of the Spreckelses,
who already have numerous ships on
the Pacific. Another line from Seattle
to the Orient is proposed, but that
meets with strong opposition. There
is general acquiescence by the commit
tee on subsidized lines to South Amer
lea, both down the Atlantic and the
Pacific coasts, but the conservative Re,
publicans on the subsidy question say
that Gen. Grosvenor is trying to get
too many subsidized lines to South
America and that it would be better
to have only two or three and pay
them enough to make it worth their
while. All these payments, however,
are to be in the form of subsidies for
carrying mails.
