THE UNPARooNARLE SIN.
(By AIegaphone. }

Main Street Aug 15.--At o'clock to-
night a crowd collected in front of The
Herald office. attracted by weird and I'M
earthly sounds that seemed to presage a
calamity. Starting with feeble wall.
like that of new born babe, the sound
rose in gruesome intensity until it re-
sembled the moaning of q soul in tor
ment, ending in a blend between a
squawk and shrek, comparable only to
the last message OF a dying mule. 1t
was at first thought that the manager
of the American" organ was still pro-
testing against the etiquette observed by
The Herald reporters in getting the news.
The next rumor was that some of the
city employees were being separated from
their jobs. Investigation developed the
fact that one of the converts to the Vol
unteers of America had poured molasses
into the cornet players horn.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.
(By Dog Team.)

Litchfield, MINI. Aug. 15-The people Of
this place read with more than passing
interest the story from Jasper City. Mo,
giving an account Of two men who Sc
cured d sum of money from a farmer
by means Of device consisting of three
shells and pea Il is considered a re-
nlerkable coincidence here that Jacob
HObson, prominent citizen and noted
for his success in having his daughter
appointed school teacher when he was
on the board had an almost exactly sim
liar experience. Mr.. HObsOn said after
wards that he could have sworn that
he knew where the pea was The Incl
dent occurred at a social given in the
basement of the church for the benefit
of blind Hottentots. 1t is said by shrewd
lawyers here that this is only another
scheme on the part of the Standard Oil
company to Cypress the people. The fact
that operation of an identical character
are in progress in different parts of the
country lends color TO this belief They
are Springing something new on the peo-
pie every day" said Parsol Swenson.

FISH ARE STARVING.
CBy Refrigerator Car.l


Saratoga, Wyo, Aug. 15.-Anglers are
remarking the poor condition of rainbow
and brook trout taken from the North
Platte and tributaries in this district. The
fish seem to have been unable to secure
sufficient food and are in poor flesh, the
larger ones being so thin as almost to re-
semble eels- Rainbow trout. which under
ordinary circumstances are two pounds
or more. weigh less than a pound
and are practically unfit for food pur-
poses. The same applies to brook trout
III a lesser degree, these fish seeming to
be able to rustic more food than the
rainbOws. Anglers attribute the poorness
of the fish to the fact that they have
propagated so rapidly that their food sup
ply is insufficient and they are gradually
approaching the starvation point The
food shortage is causing the fish TO bite
ravenOusly at both bait and flies. In
stances are com non where trout Jump
several feet out of the water, snapp%i z
viciously at rising flies. 1t is also re-
ported that several good catches have
been made with bare hooks. James
Brooks, philanthropist from PhiIadeI-
phia, who is spending the summer here.
has employed an army of boys to gather
bugs and worms. These are thrown into
the stream just above town every morn
ing at Q o'clock and the trout now gath
er there in thousands at the appointed
time.

BEWARE Of OPTOMETRISTS.
State Board Warns Public Against
Those Holding Licenses.

At a special meeting of the state
board of examiners in optometry held
yesterday it was decided that the next
examination would be held on Monday,
Sept. go Complaints have been re-
ceived from time to time about persons
protesting to be optometrists exhibiting
their state license as a guarantee of
efficiency. To correct any impression
that may have been made by these
statements the board issued the follow
ing:
ITO the Public: InaSmuch as we
have received numerous complaints
that persons holding certificates, issued
by the state board of examiners in OPP
tometry, have used them as a guaran-
tee of their ability, we wish to state
emphatically that these should be in
no case taken as such. They simply
mean that the person to whom they
were issued was pPacticing optometry
in the state of Utah at the time of the
passage of the act, and in compliance
with the law we issued each a license,
and the public is cautioned against the
man who uses this certificate as a
guarantee Of his ability, but all people
fitting glassesc must have this license.
Respectfully, Utah State Board of Ex-
aminers in OptOmetry. L. ". Snow,

GOOD MAN GOING.
Hartford Loses Capt Harry Moves tt
 Boston Nationals.

Hartford Oct 31-Captain Harry Moves of the Hartford baseball team has been drafted by the Boston Ma tionals. James NJ. Clarkin, owner of the team, has received information of the draft as well as the draft money.
 Captain Moves has been the kingpin of the local team for three years. His work has been even and conscientious. For two years he has been the cap tain, and during the season of 1907 his advice and judgment was relied upon to a large degree by MT Clarkin. AS third baseman he is without a peer in the Connecticut league.
 Moves came to Hartford from the New London club. He played ill the later city in 1904 and had q batting average of .301. During the season just closed he played 121 games bat ted at the rate of .271 and had a fielding average of .979 standing fourth in the league list.
 Tom Dowd, the incoming manager, will have to look long to find his equal. Captain Moves home is in New Haven.
