Got Her Lip Up.


A colored nurse was seen yesterday
to i'll treat a small child on State
House Hill BY one of the State off,
cials, who immediately reprimanded
her for it. This insulted her dignity,
and she cooIly informed the gentle
man that it was none of his business,
&C., who thereupon gave her q severe
chastisement with o small cane be
happened to be carrying in bis hand.
If more of this kind of chastisement
was inflicted upon some Of the cruel
nurses of our city, which mothers
know nothing of and which is some
times the cause of cripples for life,
there would be less carelessness and
milder treatment. These little limo.

ARBoR DAY.-Hon. g. L. Merriam
Of New York State has been disinter-
estedly devoting himself to the plan
Of making tree planting one Of the
features Of Decoration day, and be
has hopes that, now that the project
has been favorably received every
where, by another year it will be ac-
cepted BY the Grand Army and per-
haps Incorporated in the program for
the day. Many posts this year are
deciding to make tree planting part
Of their observance of the day.
"Arbor Day. was first observed
we believe, in Nebraska, and her
prairies have gained 25O,OOO acres Of
artificial woodland. Several other
states followed this custom and now
it has become popular. The object is
one Of the greatest Importance. Trees
increase the rainfall, but prevent
foods; they mitigate the rigors Of win
ter, and stop the progress and force
Of storms; and though tree culture
seems so slowly remunerative, some
ofour best informed agriculturists and
economists look upon tree planting as,
in the end, among the best paying
investments which owners Of land
can make.

The SANcTTY OF THE BALLOT Box
Judge William Archer Cooke, .
native Of Virginia. 10 recent charge
to the grand jury of Orange county,
Fla. said:
"In ancient times, among the favor
ed Of God. was nation using and
preserving 3 box of known dimen-
sions. The book Of the law was con-
tanned therein. 1t was called the Ark
of the Convenant. We have a box,
if not measured by cubits. Jet of
boundary dimensions and precious in
every sense. 1t is the bollot box
It is the ark of the American cove
nant. The law is in it and the fate Of
the nation; the virtue, the moral and
social rights of q free people, the phys
ical prosperity and Christian existence
of the American people as q nation,
rest upon its purity and preservation.
Like the ancient Arkof the Covenant,
it should be touched only with pure
hands. Therein is our national gran.
deur aud happiness, .as well as our
perennial prosperity, in our social, in
dividual and national relations, to ali
we hold dear, and which, as free
and ever favored liberty los ing na-
ton, and through the wise, prudent
just and honest use Of which we can
only preserve and protect that liberty
which viii continue to guarantee un-
to US such prosperity as we have en-
joyed."
Here is lesson which we hope oil
cliques and bosses and rings and reck-
less politicians ofhigh and low degree
viii treasure up, and for all future

freeman ought to regard the ballot
box as too sacred to be tampered

Stewart presiding,of ielonious assault

The testimony was SO convincing to
the minds of the jurors, that they re-
turned a verdict of guilty without
leaving the box. Cooper's counsel
gave notice that an appeal would be
taken, but as the prisoner has fully
confessed bis guilt since the trial, no
appeal will probably be taken. The
penalty is death.

REOrENINe OF THE
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-10-15
HE WILL "WIND UP THE CLOCK"
Which Had Stepped Short, Not to
Go again, for the Want Of S25s

A large crowd OF the curious stood con-
gregated about Jennings corner on Main
and First South streets all day on account
OF several carpenters erecting a scaffold
there and the report about town that J.
S. Jensen would "wind the clock" in the
face of the City Council, government
prosecution and a horde of marshals. AS
almost everybody knows, the tower clock
at the Emporium corner was purchased
some ten years ago by the q.
G. NJ. I. Coop, but when that
institution removed to their present
quarters, Mr.. Jennings retained the
time-piece by reason OF its being part of
the building, which had been damaged
somewhat by the putting of the works in
the store and under the corner wall. As
long as Mr.. Jennings occupied the EN-
porium corner this public accommodation
was always kept in perfect condition,
which not only regulated a thousand
clocks and watches about town, but kept
street-cars, hacks, meals, and pretty much
everything excepting old Sol, in proper
running order.
When the present incumbent leased the
store in which the mechanical life of the
time piece is stationed, the clock stopped
and the hands refused to move. For
long time the indexes pointed to twenty
minutes past 3 o'clock, which caused
many mistakes and jokes at the expense
of the thoughtless passer-by. Some
three months ago a country runaway
team came tearing down Main street
andi in colliding with the iron pedestal
upon which rests the browning head, the
internal works received shock which
jumped the paralyzed hands to quarter
past o'clock, where they again rested
for several weeks, during which time the
city fathers deliberated with petition
ing public as to the ACCESSIBILITY of ex-
pending $25 year in keeping such a
public benefactor in good running order
The clock is one of the very best make,
and cost in New York City about one
thousand dollars, with an additional
outlay of nearly as much more for tran
sporting and putting it in its present
position. The mechanism which works
the indicators ON the dial by means of
under ground rods not less than % feet in
length, is encased within the store. A
20-foot we'll is dug underneath the works
for the enormous weight to drop into.
Mr.. Jensen, of Swaner & Co.'S who has
charg of the Ogden and Salt Lake CITY
Hall clocks, has been engaged through |
some enterprising source to put the tower !
clock in order for $25, and to keep it in
shape Tor ike sum for the year.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-10-15
But IL Is Not Surprising.

Among the inconsistencies which char
acterize the City Council, is the refusal to
grant petitions to reliable parties on the
outside, who would benefit the city, but
possibly not a special few. Some years
ago the city gas works under private
management was granted permission to
lay car-track to the gas works without
any stated requirements as to the keeping
of the cross-walks and approaches in
order. In view of this and other
accommodations, one of the enterprising
railroad companies of this city petitioned
the city fathers for right of way along a
few blocks in order to run track to the
sampling mills near the Utah Central
Railway. The railroad has been refused
the request, Notwithstanding all rea-
sonable assurances were offered whereby
the road and everything attending
it, including the crossings, would be kept
in good condition. Salt Lake City never
has extended any encouragement to out
side enterprises of public benefit, and it
seems useless to present project to the
Council in which they have no hand.
