MCKNIGHT SENTENCED.
Judge Zane Lets Him Down Very
EASY.

James Mcknight appeared in court
this morning to receive sentence ON the
verdict rendered against him yesterday
Judge Mcbride made a motion for new
trial, which was argued and overruled.
The defense then requested that the
time of sentence be postponed until this
afternoon. When the matter came UP at
2 o'clock, the defense requested further
postponement of sentence until Monday.
Judge Mcbride and his client
evidently anticipated an imprisonment
sentence, as the former stated the
object in asking postponement
of sentence was that the defendant
might be allowed to visit his sick wife
and make some arrangements with his
family. Mr.. Dickson objected to a fur
Their postponement, because neither the
bond given by Mcknight nor any trace
of it could be found and he was ignorant
of its conditions. Mcknight was therefore
ordered to stand up and asked If he had
anything to say why sentence should not
be passed.
Nothing, your honor, except what
have already stated. 1 never touched
the woman, but / suppose 1 ought to be
punished for being found in such COM
pany."
Judge Zane announced that under the
circumstances, he would not impose an
imprisonment penalty, but would SEN
tence the defendant to pay fine of $50
and costs, and be committed until paid.
The ightness of the fine was surprise to
all present. The costs will not be less
than 500, but as Mcknight has almost
unlimited resources, he will probably de-
wise some way to settle the bill

4 Mill Greek Row.

On Thursday night dance was given
in the East Mill Creek meeting house, and
two young men who were. present, John
Nef' and James Young, Jr., became in
volved in quarrel. The difficulty was
smothered over, however, and every
one thought the affair was ended, but
when the parties were proceeding home
ward Neff called to Young to come back
and fight it out, at the same time apply
ing a most offensive epithet. Young
went back to where Neff was standing,
when the latter picked up a rock, weigh
ing several pounds, and struck Young
over the head, cutting an ugly cash and
inficting serious injuries. Netf was ar
rested and taken before a justice OF the
peace Yesterday, who fined him So.

THE "PATIENCR" COMPANY.
Their Party Last Evening" Chimes of
Normandy" to be Presented Next.

The members of the Patience" Opera
Company and few invited friends assem-
bled IN Calder's Hall last evening and
enjoyed the fruits of their recent labors
The members, with one or two excep-
tons, appeared in the costumes worn in
the opera. Fred Clawson, as the attenu-
ated solicitor, in his yellow vest and
spike-tailed coat, created great deal of
merriment.
After dancing had been INDUCED in
until about midnight, the party repaired
to the Arbogast Parlors, where a repast
was spread in SO tempting manner that
even the aesthetic Bunthorne and Gros-
venor, to say nothing of the twenty love-
sick maidens and the score of dragons.
overcame their diffidence and partook of
it with avidity. The party was most
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
1t is now pretty definitely settled that
Patience" will be presented at both Og-
den and Logan, although no dates have
been liked. 1t is also contemplated, as
soon as the furore created by the recent
presentations of Patience" in measure
subsidies, to rehearse and produce another
opera, and "Chimes of Normandy" will
probably be selected. There is no reason
why the Patience company could not sue
cessfully present this most beautiful of
all light operas. The role of Gaspard,
the miser, is somewhat heavy, but could
be mastered by ]. D. Spencer without
difficulty, while Miss Thatcher would be
as successful with the role of the miser's
daughter as she was with Patience. The
announcement that Prof. Krouse's COM
pany will present the "Chimes of Nor
mandy" will be received with delight by
the public.

William 81. Pitts.

Last night the Angel of Death sum-
moned from our midst man, whom this
community will sincerely mourn-Mr
William H. Pitts. Mr.. Pitts came to
this country twenty-three years ago, and
at once became connected with Mr.. w.
S. Godbe, in the drug business, in which
he subsequently, in 1874, became a
partner. Later, Mr. w. II. Sherman be-
came his partner, Mr.. Godbe retiring
though the old firm-name of Godbe, Pitts
& Co. was never changed. Mr.. Pitts
bears the reputation of having been a
very prince in his profession of druggist,
but as his health has been more or less
affected continually for years, he has for
long time past been unable to
pay any large amount of attention to
active business. In the trUsty hands of
his partner, however, his interests did not
suffer- Mr.. Pitts will be sorely missed by
scores of the poor. No man ever lived
more ready to serve his fellow-man
in distress. In thousands of cases
his skill as a druggist has allevi-
ated suffering among those who
were unable to pay for doctor or for
medicines; so that the name OF those
who remain to bless his memory will be
Legion. After much suffering Mr. Pitts
passed away at 20 last evening. He
was AZ years and months old, and leaves
a wife and two little children, who have
the earnest sympathies of the whole COM
munity.
The cause of death will not be defin-
itely known until after the post-mortem
examination, which will be conducted
under the auspices of Doctors Benedict
and Fowler. The remains may be
viewed by friends and relatives on Mon
day, between the hours of IL and l
O'Clock, at the residence The services
will begin at II o'clock, and the funeral
procession will probably leave the house
at about 1 80 pm.
Mr.. Pitts leaves his family in good cir
cumstances.

The Rape Case,

The case of the People VS.. Andrew Ian
caster, charged with rape, came up in the
District Court yesterday afternoon, but
was postponed until to-day, owing to the
absence Of the prosecuting witness Anna
Eliza Bray. The following jurors were
impaneled this morning VIM. B. Burton,

leighton, Walter S. Crismon, G. w.
Waltrou, Geo. Lee, John d. Spencer,

Knox, J. d. Van Tassell
Anna Eliza Bray was the only witness
examined and her testimony was so con-
fused and contradictory that the prosecu-
ton moved that the court instruct the
jury to return verdict of not guilty,
which was sustained, and the defendant
discharged with a severe reprimand from

HAMMOND HALL.
The Gymnastic and Calisthenic Eyer-
cises Last Evening.

Hammond Hall was filed to over.
flowing last evening to witness the eyer
cises OF Mrs. Aliens class of young ladies
in light gymnastics and calistbenics
and the audience was well renaid for
gong, by the varied and interesting pro-
gramme, which was carried out with
perfect smoothness.
Mrs. Allen, who, we understand wos
the first to introduce these exercises into
the schools Of this city, is deserving o
great praise for the thorough training
and high degree of excellence the clas,
has attained in these arts.
The exercises of the evening com
menced with piano music by Miss Alma.
which was we'll executed. Then followed
gymnastic exercises by the class, led by
Miss Florence Hampstead. The class
were all dressed in loose fitting navy blue
sailor style uniforms, which were very be-
coming and comfortable looking. The
exercises consisted of glide march, free
gymnastics, dumb bells and four line
march, to piano music by Mrs. Allen, in
terspersed by a song by Miss Ashley,
which was excellently rendered and high
ly appreciated; also recitations by the
Misses Woodmansee and Masters Ford,
Clark and others, which, considering their
respective ages, were about equally emit
tied to praise
Fred Everett showed good ability as an
elocutionist in his Grafton of ''The Gladi-
ator."
1t was very noticeable to see the bloom
of health and graceful free and easy car
fiage of the class, which, no doubt, is
promoted in great degree by this excel
lent daily practice of this school; and we
think that it would be time we'll spent if
every school in the city would adopt these
exercises in physical training, especially
for the female students. 1t furnishes
healthy exercise for the body, which but
few girls have at home during their
school days, and thereby increases the
activity of the mental faculties, which are
liable to become weakened by constant
application without sufficient physical ex-
ercise to insure good health

PROVO ITEMS.

Inauguration was not celebrated in
Provo-which was hardly patriotic.
Sam Gibson and Arthur Brown are in
our town, and are guests at the Excelsior
House.
Farming operations have been resumed
this week under the influence of the warm
weather.
Mr.. Ben Roberts, an old settler, pulled
stakes on Wednesday morning. He has
sold all his property here and taken his
departure for Price River.
Felt Brothers stationery store has been
crowded daily this week by eager inquir-
ers for the DEMOCRAT. Every day new
names are added to their list of subscri-
bers.
Charley Jackson was up before the
court on Monday for stealing an overcoat
belonging to Perry Decker, which he
pawned for trifle over dollar. He was
given thirty days and 500 fine.
Felt Brothers are daily receiving sub
scribers to the DEMOCRAT. Every day
fresh names are added to the list which
is growing fast Some people seem to
know how to appreciate a good paper.
The factory will start up in two or three
weeks, and will be a good thing for the
many poor families dependent on it for a
living. The company talk OF paying part
cash this season, instead of all trade
orders, as heretofore.
George Shirtliff has opened drug
store in the building formerly occupied
by Southworth & Son. This makes the
sixth one in Provo with a good prospect
for another. There is certainly something
at the back of the drug business. Some
say it is at the back of the store.
SHARPER.
1t is said one misfortune always fol-
lows another. James Smith has cause to
believe in this, for on Thursday he had
his only horse kicked by another animal
SO badly that he had to kill it; and on
the evening of the same day, while he
was at work on barn belonging to R.
Brereton, Jr., he had his thigh cut in
such horrible manner as to expose the
bone. One of the men was using a
Ratchet for the purpose of driving nails,
and Smith coming too near lim unno-
ticed, received his wound. He is,
however, able to be about little to-day. |

POLITICAL "REMINISCENCES.
The First Opposition in Utah-A Joke
on the Church Party.

Speaking about politics in Utah, "
said an old pioneer to a DEMoCRATreporter
yesterday afternoon, reminds me of the
first ticket that was ever put in the field
here in opposition to the Church Party. ,
That was twenty-five years ago. and the
people made a great deal of fun of us
for trying to oppose the church ticket.
We polled six. votes"
'Tbe people voted about as solid then
as they do now" observed the DEMOCRAT.
"Why, they voted the church ticket
without even reading it, and some of the
opposition proved it. I'll tell you how it
was lie Grande Young had been nomi-
mated for police judge by the Church
party, and some of us thought it would
be "a fine joke to substitute the name of
Bishop Woolley on the ticket in the place
of Young's. We did so, had several
thousand tickets printed in that way and
distributed at the polls. Bishop Woolley
himself did not know of the matter, for l
met him on the street the day before,
and asked him if he would serve as police
Judge if we elected him. He replied
laughingly, that he would, treating
the matter as a joke. Well,
the result of the scheme was
that : when the ballots came to be
counted the next day, Bishop WooIley
was about 700 votes ahead of the church
candidate. The outcome was as great a
surprise to Woolley, who did not know he
was being voted for, as it was to the peo-
pie, who did not know whom they were
voting for, and showed that they voted
their tickets without reading them"
''But you must have had assistance in
distributing the tickets ?"
Eyes, we did. Several members of
the church party were let into the joke
and helped us out, by distributing the
tickets at the polls. That was about ten
years ago."
'But everything is changed now and
people vote more intelligently," chimed
the reporter.
"They do, do they?" inquired the
pioneer with sarcastic smile.
"Mebbe they do, but between you and
I and this bull-pup, L believe the same
joke could be as successfully perpetrated
to-day as it was them" and the pioneer
walked away to discuss Cleveland's cabi-
net with a street corner statesman.

MIR. WRIGHT'S EXPLANATION.
He Didn't Intend to be Small, but OBJ
jectS to Continual Give Away.

Ed. OF DEMOCRAT:
Your issue of March 9th has an article
which places me in rather a ludicrous
light. Will you kindly allow me space
for an explanation.
The matter referred to is one
of several months standing, and
which l treated, think, as
you would have done, with silent con-
tempt, not even noticing the perpetrators
of the nuisance until it became so public
that parents and children would show
themselves unbecoming ladies and gen
tlemen, and assail me with slanderous
language, rejecting upon my character,
if 1 should happen to meet or pass them
in any part of the city, whether in COM
pany of lady friend or by myself. After
standing it for about two months went
to the family and asked in friendly way
if they had anything against me and II
they knew their children were doing as
they were. They said they had nothing
against me whatever, but seemed to I'M
derstand what was going on, and L
firmly believe prompted and applauded
their children in what they were doing.
expected, after my visit, to hear no
more about it, as 1 requested it stopped.
But no attention whatever was paid to
my request, and I asked them again.
in a friendly way to desist for decency
sake. if nothing more; but met with a
boiling reception from the woman who
acts as lady of the house. l informed
her and her husband that if it were not
stopped l should seek redress through the
police court, as had no desire TO act the
part of a brute and give the children
fiogging, which the parents merited-

l. the undersigned, am Sc years of age, and
came to Utah twenty years ago, and the hard
ships soon broke me down. l have tried your
most celebrated surgeons and physicians, some
of whom desired to operate on my womb but
preferred a natural death to so much suffering
and probable death after all: in fact, none of
them seemed to understand my case, and after
doctoring for many years kept getting worse,
and when employed DR.. Foot, Jr., l was a COM
plete wreck and almost dead. My troubles
were of so long standing that was afraid that
even DR.. Foot, Jr., could not cure me. Although
he would not promise positively to cure me-
still he stated that he would try hard to cure
me, and thought that my chances were better
under specialists care than all of the family
physicians in the west. So l thought myself.
My disease was the same thousands of other
women, and am not woman to give up easy.
You can depend on the statement that not one
woman in thousand could have lived through
what have and now, in only about two months
treatment 1 can truthfully say that l feel and
look like new woman, and believe myself
practically cured, and 1 have got my moneys
worth for certain, which no other doctor gave
me before. Now you sick and half dead ones,
don't delay in employing DR.. Foot, Jr. / am
having my daughters treated and sending all
my personal friends, and you can depend on
just what the Doctor says. He won't lie for
little money; he don't have to. He has all
the patients he and his doctors can wait on:
and he treats the poor just as well as the rich,
and he has my good wishes and God bless him.
