LYNCH In THE PEN.
A Salt Lake Contractor Attempts
Crooked Work at Denver.
He Is Sent Up for Ten Years-PolIce Court
Cases-Alfred Ford in
Hard Luck.

Every day gives further evidence of the
fact that the road of the transgressor is
thickiy strewn with rugged boulders. In
the early part OF 1891 one John H. Lynch
was working as contractor with j. P.
Dewoodey on the plastering of the
Union Pacific hotel in this city. One
bright afternoon while all ma
ture was lovely, Dewoodey sent Lynch
to the Union National bank to draw 81, GOO
Tor the purpose of dishargIng certain in
debtedness. Lynch drew the money as di-
rected, but temptation overcame him,
and thrusting the little fortune deep down
In his pantaloons, he kissed his hand to
Zion and skipped.
Detective Franks was put on the case
and in the course OF time he appre-
hended Lynch at Wichita, Kas.,
where he placed him under arrest
and returned with him to this city.
subsequently he was tried, but acquitted.
The acquittal presumably imbued him
with the belief that he could readily
amass fortune by dishonest methods,
and he chose Denver, Colo, as promis-
Ing held for such an undertaking. A
short time ago he forged the names of a
prominent real estate firm to tranfer of
real estate which would have melted him
the munificent sum OF 500, 600, but at the
last moment the forgery was discovered,
and the scheme nipped in the bud before
1t could bloom. For this offense he was
tried aud convicted, and is now doing a
ten years. sentence at Carson City. Mr..
Dewoodey received letter from the pen
ltentlary,. yesterday, stating the facts
above recited.

number, Naylor and Laker, dropped
out on physical examination, leaving but
thirteen to continue the remainder of the
work. The examination is conducted
under the direction of Delegate Rawlins,
and the examining board consists of Prof.
Kingsbury, r. W. Young and D. ]. j..
McAchron.
1t is the largest number of applicants
for the cadetship that has ever entered the
contest before in Utah, and they are all
very bright and intelligent young men.
Mr.. Rawlins and members OF the board
speak of the candidates in complimentary
terms, and it is evident that the contest
will be very close. The board are of the
opinion that the examination will not be
completed until Tuesday, although it
may be tomorrow evening.

The child is suffering from a cold and Group,
complains OF headaches and q languid tired
feeling, nose stopped up and roaring noises in
the head. Mothers do not heed these little
complaints and think the child viii grow out OF
them. This is too confidently believed by The
parents. The child will not grow out Of them.
The cold and cough is neglected and allowed TO
run on UNDECIDED by mother until she finds her
child has no appetite, growing pale and thin.
The stomach becomes involved and refuses to
retain food-Catarrh has got its hold. The
stomach is the motor wheel to the human body
in children it is especially liable 10 disease,
and disease contracted in childhood means
misery through life. Don't permit this. Don't
be crimiDally careless. Start your children
fairly. DR.. DeMonco and his associates have
made profound study OF diseases of children
and are remarkably successful in curing them
if brought TO them in time AS catarrhal
specialists they cannot be surpassed. Nine
tenths OF the cases successfully treated are
treated by them. This large experience, com
bined with profound study and a conscientious
desire to aid the little ones is the secret OF sue
cess of DR.. DeMonco and his associates. Do
not handicap your children. Start them fairly
in LIES battle. Start them free from disease.

The cases disposed of were as follows:
Bill Nixon, drunk, fined S..
Joseph Armstrong, drunk, fined So,
which he will pay in labor.
William Hayes, William Sherman and
Frank Clark were up for vagrancy ana
each sentenced to ten days in jail. Hayes
tried to work the sore arm dodge but it
tailed to make connection with the opin-
ion of the court.
John Clark was fined 81. 100 for trespass.

people at Butte, Montana, and seems to
have been very little benefited by the
change.
Fred Ousley, colored waiter, was dis
missed from a charge of vagrancy or, in
more specific terms, living in house of
i'll fame.
Al Ben, a Celestial, displayed his
Oriental genius in slipping out of charge
OF peddling without a license. He was
arrested in the morning for the offense
and the trial set for O'Clock D. m. In
the meantime he got out on bail, procured
a license to peddle his goods, and when he
was brought up produced the document
to show that he had authority. The
permit includes the date of the alleged
offense, and for once at least China is
| ahead. The offender was dismissed.

PICTURESQUE UTAH.
Wonders of Nature in the Mountain
Regions.

Wonders of Nature in the Mountain
Regions.
The mountain regions of Utah are said
by many travellers and artists to possess
attributes OF beauty unrivaled by those of
any other country. The immense sweeps
of landscape, whose distances are not to
be estimated by anyone unaccustomed to
regions OF this nature. are surprising,
ard are possessed of a grand and rugged
simplicity that affords a special oppor-
tunity to the artist who is fond of lavinp
his colors on his canvas in broad sWeep-
ing strokes. Mountains npon mountains
seem to rise, receeding into hazy distan-
ces, while great valleys roll away in GEN
tie slopes or pause abruptly at the bases
of grim precipices. Alpine lakes abound.
and great roaring streams and cataracts
tear down through the gulches to the
valleys below-splendid forces when
turned to purposes of usefulness.
The mountains are demou3tratiye OF
immensely in every respect-the splendid
lines carved in their sides sometimes
sweeping from highest peak to base.
Their formations are unique, differing
from those of other mountainous regions,
partially on account of aridity of the eli
mate, which is not productive of the
same vegetation usually found among
other mountain ranges. At certain
points, where mountains are usually well
clothed, there is no deciduous foliage.
The Wasatch and the Uintahs present. the
appearance Of grassy plains sloping gent
~ to the base of the mountains, while
numerous canyons break their continuity
ct intervals. These canyons are formed
by the action Of the elements on the
mountain mass, whose erosion cuts
through the breast OF the range, regard
less of the kind OF hardness of the rocks

ITALIAN LABOR.
Discrimination Against Salt Lake
Workman by Paving Contractors.
Serious Churges Made by a Building
Trades Congress Committee--A
City Council Black List.

The Building Trades congress met in
regular session last night with George
Cushing in the chair. All unions affil-
lated were fully represented and consid-
cradle business was transacted. The re-
port of the committee appointed to IN
vestigate the employment of Italian con-
tract labor by the Calmer-Jennings Paw
ing company was to the effect that such
was fact; as on First South street
eighteen men were employed. five only
being citizens. and thirteen Italians with
an Italian foreman. One citizen was dis
charged Monday morning and an Italian
putin his place at noon, who only arrived
in the city that day. Preference is also
shown to men who will board with the
foreman of the work.
A vote of censure was passed on the
Culmer-J Jennings company and COM
munication ordered sent to the city coun-
Gil, asking them to remedy this state OF
affairs and make the paving company live
up to their contract.
Attention was also called to the fact
that the masons working on the
twenty first ward school house had
not received their pay from con-
tractor Sheriff., two weeks being due
and the work completed. 1t was
OTQeI6Q LQaC COmuluulCdLfOu De Scub W
the board of education, calling their at
tention to the fact and stating If the men
were not paid they must expect trouble
on that contract, as all other building
trades organizations were ready to stand
by the masons, who intend to have their
wages.
1t was resolved that record be kept OF
all members of the city council, those
working against the interest of skilled
labor to be marked for future reference.
| 1t was reported that circulars had been
distributed in Denver, Kansas City and
Omaha by the Salt Lake city chamber OF
commerce, stating that 1900 laborine
men were wanted in Salt Lake. The
secretary was ordered to obtain one Of
the circulars and a committee appointed
to confront the chamber of commerce
with the same.

When took Mile to the Copeland Medical
Institute, had but little hope of her recovery
she had become so weak an emac1ated. Her
condition was deplorable. but l thought
would make one more effort.
Her nose was stopped up With dry ScaDS and
her head very hot a great deal OF the time. she
suffered SO much with nervous sick headaches,
was obliged TO take her out OF school. In
fact the child has never been free from head
aches. Her stomach was in such q weak state
she vomited up verything she ate, even swal-
low of water would not stay on her stomach.
She was so weak she couldn't walk block
without being exhausted, and she was always
complaining of being tired and of cold hands
and feet. Sometimes while sitting upon a
chair size would have nervous chill and her
fingers would get cold and numbs this would be
followed by hot flashes and she would COM
plain OF headaches and have to lie down. She
was always very nervous and restless while
sleeping. Finally o severe cough developed
itself and then gave up, for thought she had
consumption. nearly grieved myself to death
over little Miles health, and az said before.
had but little hope of her recovery AS last
resort took her to the Copeland Medical Insti-
tute and after a thorough examination the doc.
tors said this was all caused by bad case OF
catarrh of the head and stomach and If given
time they would cure her.
7 immediately placed nv child under their
care and / thank God ! did so for feel that
they have not only given her health, but have
saved her life.
Her nostrils are now free from all obstruc.
tions, headaches are entirely gone, she eats
everything and never feels the least sick or
inclination TO vomit. The nervousness and
cough are thing OF the past, she sleeps the
sound sweet sleep OF child and gets up re-
freshed and always ready for something TO eat,
while before food was distasteful to her. Last
Sunday she walked four miles and never COM
planned in the least. tell her she is getting so
fat and strong hardly recognize her az the
same pale thin little girl. ! often sit and look
at her and wonder how such a change could be
wrought in a child in so short a time
1t is useless to add that l have such conf
dence in these physicians that both myself and
mother are being treated by them and shall
be pleased to have any person call and see US
if they have any doubts as to the truthfulness
OF this statement. shall ever feel grateful to
these physicians for whit they have done for
my daughter and are doing for myself and
mother.
