That recalls the fact that in his recent appointment of a Police Justice his honor, the Mayor, made only one mistake. Why did he not appoint Hon John E. Dooly?

It is safe to state that the entire population is aggrieved at the lamentable oversight of the Mayor in not recognizing his qualifications for thisplace. pre-emine- nt OZONE. VIEWS OF A CYCLIST.

All the voting wheelmen have not yet been reached, still the membership has passed the eight- hundred mark, which means that eight hundred votes will be cast for the officer who is willing to favor the wheelmens cause. President Berry says the demands of the wheelmen are not generally understood. Many people believe that the wheelmen want to drive the pedestrians off the sidewalks and usurp the entire road for themselves, but such, he says, is not the case. All the wheelmen ask is that they be treated as wheelmen are in other cities, and that some concession be made to them in the way of suitable paths to ride upon during the winter months. The wheel has become a necessity to the business man; it is used daily in all the large department stores, there being all the way from fifty to three hundred wheel riders in each store, and it is regarded as an absolute necessity to carry on business by certain firms. The. wheelmen do not want to ride upon the sidewalks, as there is always danger of collision with some one, and in nine cases out of ten the wheel is 5 demolished, which costs the wheelman fifteen or twenty dollars, besides havThe ing to shoulder all the blame. paths for which the wjteelmen ask.

The September term of the District court opened last Monday morning and rext week the three branches of the court will have fairly begun the winters work. Judge Stewait has already started in on criminal business, and Judge Morse opened in the civil jury department. On Monday Judge Hall will commence in the equity and probate departments. The term promises to be a heavy one in all the departments. . polls. A $300,000 fire is a pretty big confla- gration for Salt Lake, the most destructive, in fact, in the history of the city. The four firemen. Assistant Chief McCarthy, James Love, Amos Morton and Otto Whitbeck, who were injured while bravely fighting the flames, have the sympathy of the public and its best wishes for their speedy recovery. It does seem, however, that there was a good deal of mismanagement in handling. the fire. When the department arrived on the scene the flames had not gained such headway but what they might have been put out before the building and contents were consumed. of an It is said it was hour after the alarm was turned in to the central department before the other two departments were called out. It is said, too, they had to send back to headquarters for lamps after the hose got to work on. the fire. three-quarte- rs The attraction this week was in the criminal department, where .W. E. n real estate Hubbard, the man, was put on trial on the charge of outraging Helen 11Knox, a bright and years of age. The pretty child of and the of Hubbard prominence of the crime with which he is charged gave the case such wide publicity that it was difficult to find eight men to sit as jurors who had not heard of tht case and formed an opinion regarding the guilt or Innocence of the About seventy talesmen defendant. were examined before a jury was seThe prosecution relies for a cured. conviction on the evidence of the child herself, that of Mrs. Lawler, the landlady of the building where Hubbard roomed, and where the crime is alleged to have been committed, and of police officers who watched Hubbard after he was suspected of having taken liber-ties with the girl, and who claim they saw enough through the transom of the well-know- . hein-ousne- room to establish the guilt of the as de- fendant. The mother of the child also claims that Hubbard at various times enticed Helen to his rooms by giving her presents of jewelry, and so forth. The line of defense, as far as disclosed, is that Hubbard is the victim of a conspiracy by the girls mother arid others to extort money from him. a theory backed by the fact that Mrs. Knox, soon after the charge was made, filed a damage suit against Hubbard on lf of her daughter to recover $80,000. The crime with which Hubbard stands charged is a most detestable one, and any man guilty of it should receive no mercy. Dn the other hand, a conspiracy to blast the character or extort money from any man who has means might be worked up and successfully carried through. The jurors in the case have a great responsibility upon them. To turn loose a man guilty of such an act would be. a crime, and to convict and brand an innocent man of such a develish atrocity would be even worse.
