PROFESSOR is WANTED
Missing FTenChman Is Now Ac-
cused of Stealing a Dia-
mond Ring.

Professor A. LamOreUX, the dapper
young instructor in French. who has
been numbered among the missing for
several days. not only bought two dia-
nlond rings on credit and departed
without settling for them, but it is
believed that he took a third without
the f0rmality of asking for credit or
permission to take it.. The rings are
the property of J. S Jensen, the jew
eler, and now the police have been
asked TO keep an eye open for the gay
young professor and the diamonds
The professor seems to have covered
his tracks and the officers have been
unable to locate him
The ring which Professor Lamour-
euX is suspected of having stolen is a
snake band ring set with a diamond
valued at about $50. As was stated in
The Herald a few days ago. the pro-
fessOT took a fancy to the ring and
decided that ne would buy it-that is,
If the ieWeler would give him credit
TO" few days LamOureUX took the
ring, but a few hours later returned
and asked to exchange the snake ring
Tor a larger one. The larger ring was
taken on the same terms. When clos
ing time came that evening and the
diamonds were checked up, the snake
ring was missing. The last seen of it
the professor was gazing fOndly at it,.
and when it developed that he was
missing, the jeweler Immediately sus-
peCted that he had stolen the ring.
The matter was laid before the police
and is now in the hands of the county
authorities Efforts are being made to
locate The missing professor, and if he
is found he viii likely he prosecuted

BRIG. ELLERBECK DEAD
Popular Citizen Passes Away
After a Long Struggle
Against Death.

After a long battle with death. Brig
ham NJ. Enerbeck passed quietly to his
rest at few minutes past 6 o'clock
yesterday morning. surrounded by bro
Tiers and sisters and other dear ones,
who had been summoned during the
night to his bedside at st, Marks hos
pital
Few men living in Salt Lake today
are so universally popular as was
Brig" Ellerbeck. He was highly es-
teemed, both as a citizen and as a
business man, and the friends he made
during the many years he has engaged
in the plumbing business are countless.
For several years Mr.. Ellerbeck has
not been in good health. A series OF
ailments resulted finally in tuberculO-
Sis Of the kidney, and two weeks ago
he was removed to the hospital, where
q surgical operation removed the al
fected kidney. For the time being
there were strong hopes that ne would
recover, but in a few days he began to
fail and it became evident that he
could not survive the operation. The
patient was more hopeful than his
Ciosest friends. He fought pluckily
against the disease, and to the last
manifested a strong determination to
live.
Brigham NJ. Euerbeck was born in
Salt Lake forty-eight years ago, al
though he was not in appearance more
than 50. He was the eldest son Of
Thomas and Martha Ellerbeck, who
were early settlers in Utah, and full
brother of T. r. Ellerbeck, former SUI
perintendent of the Utah & Pacific
railroad He was a student of the old
University Of Deseret. under DR.. Park.
and one of the brightest scholars in
that institution. While still a young
man. after his graduation, Mr. Eller-
beck entered the employ Of the salt
Lake City Gas company, and was with
that concern for ten years. Prior TO
1878 he went into the plumbing bust
ness. He established the firm of Heesch
& Euerbeck, with houses in Salt Lake
and Butte, and some years ago, after
the dissolution Of that partnership he
founded the Utah Plumbing & Supply
! company, as president and manager,
positions which he held until the time
OF his death.
/ Mr.. Ellerbeck fought the Plumbers

ceiVed He was a man OF vigorous

Platt,s suave Good Night.

They were talking about Senator Platt
on the porch Of the Oriental hotel at
Manhattan beach the other evening, when
a man who has known him Intimately
for a number of years said: I have an
immense admiration for the senator S
manners, which I began to note after
this incident. There was a meeting OF
the men who make one kind of politics
in New York ar the Fifth Avenue hotel.
and a pair of trouble makers in the
crowd had just handed the senator a not

who had been calling on Mrs. Platt came
noisily into the room to gush good

WHEAT ON THE BOOM.
Goes to 70 Cents and Flour Also Ad-
Vances.

Goes to 70 Cents and Flour Also Ad-
Vances.
Tomorrow morning there win be an
other advance in the price of flour in
the local market The prices yester-
day were $3.50, 81 20 and $3.50 for the
three graues. These prices viii be ad-
vanCed on Monday morning TO s.. $3.50
and Sl.70, the highest prices reached ia
this market in some years. The prices
given above are the prices of the mill
eTs TO the jObbers. the retail price is
about % cents higher.
This advance reflects the advance in
the price of wheat The highest price
Of wheat reached during the past
week was 20 cents a bUshel, the high
est point reached in Utah since the
Joe Letter corner in Chicago some years
ago. This 20 cents now being offered
is the price for carload )ts on board
the cars in Salt Lake.
It seems to be the impression among
local dealers that the price Of wheat
IS to so still higher. The reason as
signed for this is the unusually short
crop of corn in the country. The gov
eminent reports give the corn crop for
the country at sixteen bushels to the
acre. the smallest average since the
government has been keeping reports.
Because Of the short corn crop much
more wheat is being used. and the ex-
trs demand is having its effect on the
price In Utah as elsewhere. But the
chief factor in Utah is the shortage of
the crop Of wheat and the difficulty of
getting good milling wheat at all.
The reports coming in from the fall
wheat planted IN various parts of the
state are very encouraging. The acre
age is large, especially in the northern
part of the state; the recent storm
gave IL a splendid start. and at this
time the outlook for a good crop for
next year is very good.

CHILD RUN OVER.
Child Of Mr. and Mrs. GuIbransen
Injured

GhId OF Glr. and MIS- GulDra1Sen
Injured.
The little 4-year-old sen of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nick Guibrdnscn was struck by
street car going al a very rapid rate at
the corner of Fifth South and Second
East streets at 3 O'Clock yesterday after
noou and the wonder Is that the little
fellow was nos ground 20 pIlp. As il
is. he had his nose broken and he was
b5 lly cut and bruised about the head and
face but his injuries are in no way seTi-
Gus. The accident was witnessed by
number Of people and IL Is considered
miraculous that he was not instantly
KILLED. M0t0rmau Gum was on the car.
and at that particular time his attention
was attracted to the rear. When he
looked around he had not time to check
the speed of the car or even riug his
bell before he was upon the child. He
said afterward that when he saw the
child at first he was on the sidewalk and
he had no thought Of him running in
front of the car.
The child was at once picked up. car
Tied home and given medical care. Last
night he was getting along very nicely.
There are many complaints from the peo-
pie i'm that vicinity becaUs- of the rapid
rate at which the cars are run.
