The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-05-24

G. E. Mayne is lying very i'll at his resi- 2
dence Mental strain has caused nervo US
prostration, so his physicians say.
Mrs. ScottSiddons, the beautiful woman
and talented artistic, Will give dramatic re-
citals in Union opera house next week,
commencing Monday evening.
VIII Ogden ever have an opera house
worthy the names Will the chamber of
commerce ever follow the example of Salt
Lake city and erect building of their own!
If So when!
After THE HERALD's Ogden letter had
been mailed Thursday evening, Charles
Clark, the housebreaher, was called up for
sentence and Judge Henderson let him OFF
with five years in the penitentiary.
1t is learned that General Nathan Kim
ball, Ogden's postmaster, is again confined
TO his bed and serious results are appre-
hended. Overwork and anxiety are said
10 be the cause. His friends hope for the
best.
The Rex organization held on important
secret meeting last evening. 1t is under
stood that several new members were
elected. The plans of the campaign were
nnfelded and many valuable suggestions
thrown out for the good Of the cause.
When Governor Thomas asserts that the
manipulators who are now after more
legislation for this territory do not hope to
make Republican state of Utah during
Harrison's term, broad smile of incredul-
ity spreads over the faces of the people.
The celebrated Kentucky orator, Colonel
John j. Hickman, will hold forth in the
r. City hall this evening on the subject Of
temperance reform. As it costs nothing
to hear the lecture, the hall will doubtless
be crowded-Sam Small to the contrary
notwithstanding.
EXcavating for the new Roman Catholic
church on the corner of Adams avenue and
Twenty-fourth street, began Thursday.
On the opposite corner the Presbyterjans
will erect a church edifce during the pres
tnt year. Twenty-fourth street will soon
be known as street of churches.
The Liberals of Ogden are confident that
they will be able to carry the county cleo
ton in August next. Hence they look with
aisfavor upon Senator Cullom's BID to rob
them of the elective franchise and put the
appointing power in the hands of the gov
ernor and the Utah commission, the mem
6ers of which body are aliens, having no.
further interest in Utah than to draw with
regularity salary which they do not earn
The people were filled with sadness yes
Serday forenoon upon learning that Mrs.
Ellie McGaw Drake, wife of A. H. Drake,
had died suddenly, early in the morning,
Of heart failure She was the bride of but
three or fonr weeks, whose rosy cheeks and
healthy appearance gave no indication OF
the brief life which so suddenly came to q
close. The deceased was aged 20 years, 1(
months and % days. The bereaved hus
band, mother, brothers and sisters have
the liteliest sympathy of all in this hour OF
their sad bereavement The funeral will
take place from the residence of Mrs
Mary McGaw, 2,549 Madison avenue, this
Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
The Commercial yesterday morning con
.ained a lengthy account of " an informal
reception" given by Mayor Kesel to Gov
srnor Thomas, at which number of promi
nent gentlemen were present. 1.-The con
Versation,' says the report, became gen
orally directed toward the proposed legis-
lation in Congress concerning the Terri
tory, and seemed to center in the 'disfran
ehisement bill On this subject there
seemed to be a great unanimity Of opinion
On the main question, various and differen
views being expressed upon minor details
The Governor is a staunch, firm friend O.
the disfranchisement bill.'n That vii
notssbe disputed, but ne made no converts
TO his way of thinking among the gentle
men who were present and whom he doubt
less came for the purpose of converting
# possible, for among the number all ex
cept four or five signed protest ag aims
the passage of the bill in question. Their
were about twenty present.
