DROPPED OUT OF THE HACK.
Mysterious Disappearance of a Man
With Money.

Inquiry was made at police headquar-
ters last night for a young man wear
ing a black cutaway coat and stiff
hat. His friend stated that between s
and 10 o'clock the missing man took a
hack to go to the circus, telling the
driver to let him out at Eighth South
and Third West. two blocks from the
show grounds. At the point named the
driver stopped and got down to open
the door, but to his establishment found
the vehicle empty. He says he did not
stop at all during the drive, and has
no idea where or when the passenger
got out. The missing man had not been
found at 1:30 this morning. He was in
toxicated, and had considerable money
on his person, and his friends are fear
full that he fell into the hands of circus

RESTORATION OF WOOL RATES
MAY GO BACK TO THE OLD
BASIS.
Local Officials Think the Eastern
Roads Are Laboring Under Mis-
apprehension-Railway Notes.

There is difference of opinion among
the railroad men with regard to the
raise in wool rates The new rate out
side of Utah common points will go
into effect today, unless countermanded
this morning, and up until late last
night the indications were against the
old rate. Two or three prominent rail-
road men, however, seemed to think
that eastern roads are laboring under
misrepresentation of the facts, ami
that as soon as they understand the
situation the rate will be restored to the
old basis. The Rio Grande Western is
laboring to maintain the old rate. and
If its gulf route connections will stay
by it, as they now promise to do, the
rail and water rates via the gulf route
will not be advanced. But this will
not affect this seasons clip. as this is
practically cleaned up, except a mil
lion pounds at Price, which will move
before the new rate takes effect.

partment had not reached a decision

THROWN FROM A STREET CAR.
John Brown, An Elevator Boy,
Struck By Telegraph Pole.

The Ringing circus has one accident TO
its credit. which. considering the vast
crowds that swarmed to it yesterday
afternoon and evening, is a remarkably
small list.
John Brown, the night elevator boy at
the Walker House hotel was coming up
last night from the show in a Rapid
Transit car. which was crowded to suffo-
cation. He hung to the step. and because
of the jam was forced to lean far out
When the car was moving rapidly on
Main, near Third South street. he was
struck by a telegraph pole in the middle
OF the street. The blow threw him to the
ground, but he was picked up and taken
into the Smith Drug company's store.
The blood -streamed from his mouth and
ne was semi-conscious and grooming with
pain.
DIR. c. +. Wilcox. who was called, had
the boy removed 10 the Holy Cross hos
pital. where on examination it was found
that he had sustained no serious injuries.
There were no bones broken, but the face
was seriously cut. 1t is expected that
the boy will be out in few days. His
home is in Leadville, Colo: he has been
in Salt Lake eighteen months.

HIGH SCHOOL CLAss-DAY.
Bright Programme By the Students
Last NIGHT.

The High school assembly hall was
lastly decorated last evening for the
senior class day exercises, and when
the audience was called to order every
seat was filled. with standing room at a
premium. The order was excellent and
the programme was worthy of college
graduates. Catchy songs, filed with
lively hits at the juniors, sophomores
and freshmen, and set to popular tunes.
alternated with bright speeches full
of flashes of the keenest sarcasm and
bubbling over with original wit, made
up the programme. Everyone on the
programme took thrust at the juniors,
who were seated Immediately in front
of the stage.
The class entered to the tune of a
march called the Glass of 49, COM
posed for them by A.V. Peterson. There
are exactly sixty of them. and they
made very pretty sight, the girls in
their white costumes and the boys in
black sack coats and white duck trou-
serS.
Just before the presidents address
the class gave "a little music" which
would have been a credit TO the Bos-
tonians. Then Waldemar Young had
his innings. and the way he stirred
the animals up" as he said, referring
TO the nearby juniors. was something
wonderful and kept the audience in a
roar all the time. His address was not
all of the light order. for before closing
he referred eloquently TO that ''inde-
scribable something which character
ICES life at the High school. and spoke
us the tender ties binding the hearts
of the junior class 10 the school that
had been d mother - them. Then fol-
lowed some more music IS the pro-

The class poem. a creation of Harry
Pitts. was read by the author. 1t was
filled with bright sayings and showed a
great deal of ability.
The programme next called for some
w<bling" by the class, and they war
bled in the same strain as before, and
at the expense of the poor juniors, who.
however. received the witticisms in
dignified silence.
The class Grafton was delivered by
Jacob Coleman. who selected for his
subject, "Oratory-It's Scope and
Power as an Art" They way the Tub.

The next was called "Orpheus and
Others by the class, with Richard
Oglesby in the star role. The music was
catchy, and. the chorus. Juniors, Don't
Get Gay" caused much merriment.
Number nine was a sketch of the
class history by Miss Jasmine Young

immense affair. People are coming in from

association desires to announce that 1t
has nothing to do with any celebration
outside of the one at Saltair.
Governor Wells requests that the flags
