She knew nothing of his intention and he
had assumed a disguise in order to carry
out his purpose unrecOgnized.
Hau admitted the correctness of the
testimony of all the witnesses regarding
his actions in Baden-Baden, and said that
he telephoned with the sole purpose of
getting Frau MOlitOr away from the
house. When later he saw Olga leave the
house with her mother he was so disap-
pointed over the Illustration of his plan
that he went 10 the station at full speed
and heard no shot fired.
The presiding judge asked Hau why he
adopted such a roundabout procedure,
why he had not communicated directly
with Olga. Hau answered that he was
too agitated at the time to adopt a clear
plan of action.

TRADES FOR SOLDIERS.
london News ]

The difficulties confronting the ex-sOl-
der in his search for civilian employment
are many and varied, but, given a certain
knowledge of gardening on a scientific
basis his chances of obtaining work are
greatly increased. There is a growing
demand on the part of owners of country
houses for handy men who have been dis
ciplined, and a knowledge of gardening
coupled with experience of horses will
make for mutual benefit. In the case of
the ex-sOldier who cOntsmplates emigra-
ton such knowledge will stand him in
good stead in a new land.
1t is proposed that general officers COM
handing at home should communicate
with the county representative Of the de-
partment of agriculture, who in turn
would send a county instructor of hOrti-
culture to the regimental allOtments to
give a course of instruction to the men
there stationed.
Another branch of employment where
the possibilities of instruction seem to

q limited number of old telegraph instru-

step toward systematizing such instruc-
ton. The general postoffice is prepared
to grant certificates Of proficiency to SOL
der telegraphists who shall have satisfied
the examiners. the degree OF efficiency so
obtained being such as to qualify the Op-
orator to act as substitute in a country

the ordinary way would be employed as
a postman, will be able to secure such ap-
pointments as sorting clerks or telegrap PHI

THAT BICYCLE ORDINANCE

To The Salt Lake Herald
Much has been said for and against the
recent ordinance passed by the city COUn-
ell restricting Wheemeu from the use Of
the sidewalks 1t is to be hoped the en-
tire police force will be as negligent in
enforcing the provisions of this ordinance
as much as they do that concerning the
speed of automobiles, especially in the
business district of the city.
1t is an every day occurrence to see au-
tomObiles running at high rates OF speed
very far in excess OF that allowed Jhem.
stirring up volumes of germ-laden dust
and offensive doors, compelling those who
are bringing up the rear to inhale these
and thereby disseminate disease. While
this disagreeable feature Of the autOmO-
bile apparently receives the sanction OF
the general public, it is nothing in com
parison to the lives endangered, especially
on the principal business streets, where
those in charge of autos spin along re-
CARELESS of the rights of pedestrians,
Wheelmen, etc, and policemen making no
effort to aDate the nuisance. one or two
lives are waiting TO be sacrificed before
an attempt will be made to bring the
chauffeurs to a proper realization Of the
rights of others. Coming back to the bl-
cycle ordinance, the wheeling fraternity
owe a vote of thanks 70 COuncllmen HOl-
ley and Barnes, who opposed the measure
The gentlemen no doubt, had in mind a
better ordinance that would give general
satisfaction.

did not have much difficulty in dealing
with the bicycle riders, but the present
one has gone one better and entirely ig-
nored the rights of wheel owners
1t is true that one or two people have
been knocked down but no lives have
been lost and nearly every bicycle acct
dent has been caused by men and boys
who have been negligent as to the rights
of pedestrians.
Most of the sidewalks in this city are
wide enough to permit bicycle riders 10

wheels accordingly. 1t is unnecessary 70

MRS. ]. C. FROST'S FUNERAL
Was One of the Early Pioneers Of
the State, Having Emigrated
to Utah in 1854.

Ephraim, July ia large concourse OF
people gathered at the tabernacle yester-
day afternoon to witness the last sad
rites over the remains of Mrs. j. G.
Frost. The house was beautifully draped
in white and the floral contributions were
profuse. A large number of acquaint-
ances spoke in glowing terms of the char
acter Of the deceased. Mrs. Frost was
one OF the early pioneers of the state,
having emigrated from Denmark about
1854 She was an earnest church worker
and was active in behalf OF charity So
cieties of the city. Her demise is
mourned by a host of friends who eX-
tend sympathy to her four children who
survive her. A large procession followed
the remains to the city cemetery.

found that the larger fish became eau
tious and we had to adopt shrewder
measures.
Then you remember that little pond
l bought in the township. Poor old
Miltimore, who stocked it, got to be
so fond OF his trout that he kept them
as pets. No one ever caught any of
them and they were trained to come to
a certain place every day at noon TO be
fed
They were fine, fat things when 1
got the place after the old man died
over a thousand of them. When first
1 threw in a fly to them they fought
TO catch on right under my nose.
Trout Bit at Night.
But after a week or two you had
to be pretty clever to get a rise and
had to keep out of sight completely.
And they never came in full sight at
the feeding hour after a little while
The fear of man got into them and
they were as wild as the trout of the
streams, every bit"
The question is little deeper than
one would think" said still another
member of the party. 81 am inclined
to think that some day a scientific man
will travel along the lines of COMPARE
tive physiology and work up the sub
ject of the ocular spectra in animals
and fishes and explain the whole thing
to us"
Il am going to wonder whether ev-
erybody knows what l discovered as
lad. The trout were biting well one
evening, and ! kept on with my fishing
until it came across my mind that
had far outstayed my time. l got
home to meet an irate parent setting
out after me with a good sized stick
in his hand, and learned that it was
close to IL o'clock.
The river was only five minutes
away, and 1 had to take a good warm
ing up from the stick; not altogether
Tor being out so late, but for daring
to assert that i had been fishing that
hour of the night.
Il think it was the first time that 1
ever doubted the omniscience of nv
father, when he insisted, as he licked
me, that fish-that is to say, trout-nev-
er bit after nightfall, at least if one
! fishes properly with flies. I knew bet
ter, and had several proofs in my bas-
ket, but got the thrashing all the
same. Since then / have fished many
time on darkest nights with dark
flies and have had splendid sport
You have heard the oculist talk
about your far sight and your near
sight? Well. if seems to me that at
night the trout's near sight works all
right, but his far sight is away of, as
badly as mine is
"A great deal Of unnecessary trouble
is given to the night angler by the
club. Most trout streams contain
them, though they do not bother one
much by day. / have discovered to
my sorrow that they are regular noe
tuTnal feeders.
But is it not rather curious that
trout should be able by night to dis
tInguish flies so readily as to discrim-
mate between those in or out of sea-
son ana yet not be able to see a man
within few feet Of them?"

CAMPAIGN OF PUBLICITY
SMALL DEALERS ARE BEING
FORCED OUT OF BUSINESS.

Resolutions calling upon Utah to
support Utah products were pre-
scented at a meeting of retail deal
ers of the state held Yesterday after
noon at the Wilson hotel. About sew
ehty-hye retailers in nearly every line
OF business were present early in the
afternoon, and additional delegates ar
rived later and viii attend the further
sessions that will be held Monday
The meeting of the merchants has
been called to frame a plan of action
TO defend retailers against the inroads
the large mail order houses in differ
ent parts of the country are said to
be making against the smaller deal
ers. Yesterday a number of plans
were suggested, and it was agreed that
campaign of publicity shall be I'M
derCaken to call attention of the resi-
dents of Utah TO the fact that large
sums each month are being spent in
other states that, the merchants say,
should be spent with home industries.
The war on the catalogue houses"
will be pushed to the limit. This was
the consensus of opinion as expressed
at the meeting yesterday. That these
houses are forcing many small home
dealers to the wall was the view ex-
pressed by several speakers. who said
that if the residents of different Utah
cities would buy their goods from
home merchants the progress of the
state would be furthered That the
home men give better values than the

several dealers, who said that the
