The RACES.
La the afternoon the sports
attracted over 1900 people to
the Turf Club grounds. There
was music everywhere-four
good bands made things lively.
Besides the races and regular
program on this day, the Billy
Bennett people gave a slack
wire performance in front Of
the grand stand which made a
great hit. The races were as
follows: y H.

. The BALL GAME
In the evening base. ball
game was played between
Antler and Bottineau. They
played five innings and the
game was called on account of
darkness. Score 3 to / in fav-
or of Bottineau.
A balloon ascension was to
have been made each day but
in filling the balloon the first
day it burned, no one was dis
appointed to any great extent
as there were more attractions
than advertised and we believe
the visitors appreciated the
efforts of the turf, club man
in giving them the
best of everything that money
could buy The races were
called of today on account of
rain, but there is to be ball
game between Westhope and
Antler this afternoon.
The race meet was a grand
success in every particular and
we congratulate the manage
ment.

Wages and Living in New Jersey.

From the Philadelphia ledger
The annual report on wages and the
cost of living in New Jersey. just sub
mitted to Gov. Stokes by the chief Of the
State bureau of labor. shows that the in
crease in the cost of living is outrunning
the increase in wages and the growth Of
industries. The difference is slight Wages
have increased 3.S per cent and the in
crease in the cost of living is estimated
at I per cent 1t is declared that the
cost OF living in our neighbOring State
has been rising steadily during the last
seven years, the addition averages As

kauai POLICE MAKE
HAUL OF GAMBLERS

Garden Island.-The police discovered
that the Kapaa gamblers had opened
one of their joints short time ago
and last Wednesday went over and
caught some of them redhanded.
1t has been rumored for some time
that the lessons taught the keepers of
gambling houses on Kauai by the
Wholesale prosecution of them a year
ago was beginning to wear of, and
that one or two places were running
full blast again. Kapaa, of old the
center of the former hui, was desig-
mated as the place where che-fa and
uchikau was proving a good thing for
somebody.
The Deputy Sheriff of Hawaiian who
is supposed to keep track of the law
breakers in his district is again suffer
ing from his old complaint, tired
feeling. Sheriff Rice therefore thought
that he would look after the district
himself and for that purpose secured
all the information he could from out
SIDE sources. He found that within a
quarter of a mile from the residence
of the Deputy Sheriff and the court
house, there was being conducted a
thriving business in che-fa and uchi-
kau.
Last Wednesday he sent his captain
of police and two officers from Lihue
over to gather in the sinners AS the
gamblers have a well organized system
of videttes il was useless to have them
go there in the usual manner, so he
sent them over as drummers trunks.
They arrived at the spot all unsus-
pected by the sentinels and were in the
room before alarm could be
raised. They found uchikau to be in
full blast, the che-fa drawing having
taken place a short while beforehand.
They were, however, only three in a
room with lot of Chinese and Japa-
nese who had seen doors through
which to make their escape, and there
fore were at odds. AS it was, they
succeeded in coralling four of the gam
blers who turned out to be Japanese
by the name of Mori and three Chinese
answering to the names of Ahana, All
Sing and All Sang.
The house was found to be fitted up
in the regulation style with barricades
for both doors and windows. Long
security from being incommoded by
visits from the Deputy Sheriff had evil
IDENTIFY made the keepers careless as
they had neglected to make us of this
precaution at the time.

SKELETON FOUND
AND QUICKLY Lost

Garden Island.-When Captain of Po-
lice Gardner went to Kapaa last week,
the scowman ferrying him across the
Wailua river told him that a friend of
his had found a skeleton down on the
beach at Kapena, some two weeks
ago. Captain Gardner remembered
that a number OF years ago a Japa-
nese murdered in Hanamaulu had been
buried by his slayers in the sand at
that same point and thought that
something in the same line might be
the case now. He therefore immedi-
ately telephoned Sheriff Rice about the
matter. and the latter sent Deputy
Sheriff Ellis over TO investigate.
Deputy Sheriff Ellis soon located the
native fisherman who had made the
discovery and took him and a Port
uguese, who had been present at the
time, along down TO the beach. The
two discoverers had raised a stone
cairn where they had found the body
In order 10 mark the place where they
had reburied It. The place was there
fore easily found but not so with the
skeleton. All the efforts OF the men 10
find IL was futile.
The discoyerers explained that when
they found the skeleton It was just
sticking out of the sand, as II the
heavy rains OF the winter had washed

hesh was gone, but the hair was still

their judgment, violation of duty oc-

OvERDRAFTS AND THEIR EFFECT
ON BANK AND CUSTOMER.
Aside from the law on the question,
few customers understand why an ov-
erdraft is SO Objectionable to the av-
erage banker. Many think it simply
prejudice, or matter Of sentiment.
Note how it works detriment to bank
and customer alike:
Few banks, if any, allow their paying
tellers the privilege Of making credits;
in other words, of permitting over
drafts. The result is when chek is
presented, signed by party who is
known to overdraw his account, the tell
er, it matters not how many people are
standing in line, stops and calls up the
bookkeeper, breaking in upon his work;
the bookkeeper looks up the balance,
and reports back to the teller. If tho
balance is insufficient to meet the
check, the paying teller steps in turn
to each of the receiving tellers, to in
guire whether the customer has made
a deposit during the day. If answered
in the negative. he must then leave his
cage and see one Of the officers in order
to have the check initiated before pay
ing it.
This, as can readily be seen, is not
conducive to the rapid handling of the
banks transactions, and for time
stops business in the paying and receiv-
ing cages, as well as interfering with
the bookkeeper s work.
HOW 1T AFFECTS THE CUSTOMER.
The customer standing in line, pos
sibly hurried to meet engagements or
through press of business views all
these operations with anything but
pleasure, and if the occurrence is fre-
quently repeated, will be tempted to
consider change in his account to a
bank doing less business, or where his
wants can be attended to moro
promptly.
We believe the knowledge of the
facts herein stated will induce custom.

habit of overdrawing to discontinue the
