 DETECTED IN ACT

John Rawson yesterday heaped coals of fire upon the head of a mis- guided individual, who. taking advan- tage of his temporary absence from his store, walked behind the counter and started to abstract the silver which Rawson had accumulated in the till.
 Rawson came in at the door just as the man was examining his haul, preparatory to placing it in his pocket.

DE AT H RATE IN NEW YORK IS
 YET H|GH

NEW YORK, July '. - Feeling in New York today is close to panic. due to the apparent inability of the physicians to check the ravages of infantile paralysis which is prevalent among the children.
 During the past twenty-four hours there were twenty-two deaths from this cause, and eighty-seven new cases have been reported. Every effort is being made to discover the cause of the epidemic. but this far no sound reason has been advanced.
 The exodus of people with children to the country has gained further headway on account of the ravages made by the disease. and it is pre- dicted that half the children of New York will be outside the city in a week unless the epidemic abates.

BOUNDARY LINES CHANGED.

WASHINGTON. July '. - Upon the recommendation of Secretary Lane. the president has signed an executive order changing the boundary lines be- tween the Seattle.

 By recent surveys, however. it was found that the crest of the Cascade mountains placed the lands of some entrymen in two land districts. and the boundary lines were changed to follow the lines of the public surveys, so that land covered by one entryman would be included in but one land dis trict

SUPER zEPPEL|NS ASTON|SH THE
 SWISS

BERNE, Switzerland, July 7.-Peo- pie living along the Swiss border of the lake of Constance have been greatly surprised over the movements of the new monster airship, much lar ger than all other Zeppelins, that has been making trial trips over the lake. The length of this ship is said to be 24O wards, or almost double that Of other Zeppelins. The cubic contents is even more than double. 54,000 cubic meters instead of 2OO00, and the num- Der of gondolas is four instead of two. These gondolas are said to be armed with guns, machine guns, and new kind of air torpedo.
 Despite its huge bulk the ship gives the impression of fish-like slenderness. The steering gear forms an exact cross. The motors are 3,O00-4,OOO horse power, able to give the airship q speed of 90 kilometers an hour. To avoid breakdowns the motors are in double number. The crew is said to he 30 to 40 men. The ship can reach a height of three to four miles.

LABOR MARKET AT ANCHORAGE
 |S GLUTTED

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 6. - AS the passage of the railway appropria- ton bill may cause large numbers of laborers to head this way, I desire to repeat my warning given you May 8, to the effect that there is still a sur plus supply of labor, both skilled and unskilled, sufficient to meet all re- quirements. MEARS.
 The above telegram, received by the Times yesterday. should prove suffi- cient to keep all men who had contem- plated going to Anchorage away from the railway town for this season.
 It is evident that the labor market must be well supplied when Lieuten- ant Mears feels it necessary to repeat his former warning. In his telegram of May 8, Lieutenant Mears an- nounced that in the event of any short tage of labor, the Alaska towns would be first notified, so if anyone in this wishes to go to Anchorage it is best that they wait any word which might be sent out by the commission CT. Otherwise, it is better to stay away.

r FRU|T GROWING ENCOURAGED
 IN FRANCE

PARIS, July 6. -- The minister of agriculture has just organized the French fruit industry, both the in crease in production and processes of preserving, so as to compete with other fruit producing countries.
 The recent prohibition of the impOr- tation of fruit into France called at tention to the fact that, while no coun- try is better adapted to the produc- tion of fruits, France consumed an nually 60,0OO tons more than she pro- duced.
 NJ. Moline, minister of agriculture, attributes the heavy impOrtations of fruits into France to the fact that, aside from grapes, apples and pears, the French fruit growers generally have developed as they might have done their method of canning and preserving, and distribution of pre- served fruits. The commission just appointed will be expected to report upon the favorable localities in France for the building of canning establish ments and other ways of furnishing a quick market to fruit growers in the regions adapted to fruit culture.

GRAND OPERA At UNIVERSITY
Department Of Music in University Of
Utah Anxious to PopuIarize
Musical knowledge.

Mr.. Thomas Giles, professor OF mu.
sic in the University OF Utah, has
some big departmental plans for the
coming school year Besides bringing
up the band and orchestra to points
OF size and efficiency not attained

other grand opera, and will conduct
classes in musical history and har-
mony which will be great financial
| saving to students of music.
Professor Giles announces that as
soon as the University orchestra for
1857 attaips membership OF 80
he will personally defray its expenses
on trips to Ogden and Provo for con-
cert purposes. The band also will be
given its usuAl trips to Logan and
Provo.
These organizations are fostered OF.
hcially by the student body. They
are open to any student who plays
an instrument and desires to be-
come more proficient. Three hours Of
college credit, besides the student
awards, are granted for participation
In either or both organizations.

press to be far and away in advance
OF any production heretofore attempt
ed by local talent"
This year both "Tannhauser" and
"Manon" have been suggested to Pro-
lessor Giles, but he has not yet def
nitely decided what to present. He
would like very much to cooperate
with the best musical talent in Utah
and make the thing a strictly local
production. He is also DESTROYS of
presenting 1t at time when people
from outside the city can hear 1t,
probably during the spring confer
ence.
Professor Giles states that the de-
partment of music In the University
of Utah Is anxious to serve all the
people Of the state; anxious to popu-
larize musical knowledge. He de-
clares that no extra fees will be
charged for the work In harmony or
musical history. but that these will be
open to all who pay the regular uni
versity tuition charges. This means
that work which costs $50 to learn by
correspondence and from $50 to 800
to learn in private will be taught in
the state university classes free Of
charge to college students and open
to all others who care to enter the
university for this special work
