MORMON SECRRTS TOLD.
WORKINGS OF THE ENDOWMENT
HOUSE EXPOSED.
Witness** Who Gave Passed Through
Its Mysteries Revealing the IniquL
ties in Open Court.
From the New York Time*.
RiTT Lake City, Utah, Nov. 14.—0n
Feb. 10 next there will be a municipal elec
tion in this city. It will be the first real
contest between Mormons and gentiles for
supremacy in the city that has ever been
witnessed here. Both sid s have made a
thorough canvass a id ascertained thereby
that there are many non-naturalized men
eligible to citizenship. It is alleged that the
Mormons have brought in colonizers, and
among these are many aliens. For several
weeks past the court has been daily em
ployed making new citizens.
Last Friday a Mormon, named John
Moore, made application for admission to
citizenship. He swore he was a Mormon
and had been through the endowment
house. Objection was made to his admis
sion on the ground that parties going
through tnat house were compelled to take
an oath which was ineo np itible with their
becoming gocd, law-abiling citizens of
the United Sates. After arguments
the court stated that he would grant
a continuance until this morning to hear
evidence on that point. Meanwhile other
applicants for citizenship, who were Mor
mons, had their ca ns continued till thL
matter could be settled, the objectors
claiming that if they could prove Mormon
ism was a treasonable organization any
man who belonged to and supported that
organization, even though he never took an
oath in the endowment house, was not a lit
subject for citizenship.
This position taken by the objectors cre
ated great excitement among all classes of
people here, and to-day when John Moore’s
case came up for consideration the court
room was crowded with s( creators. Ex-
Senator Ferry of Michigan was an inter
ested listener and subsequently expressed
his surprise at the fearful expose mads by
the witnesses, who were principally apos
tate Mormons. The characteristic feature
of all the testimony was the earnest and
emphatic manner in which it was given.
The men were all gray-haired, and could
have had no object in testifyiug to any
thing but the truth.
John Rond told how he went through the
endowment house in January, 1888, and
took oertain oaths. In room No. 5 he took
an obligation to obey the priesthood in
everything temporal, spiritual, political,
social, and financial Witness testified that
the penaltv for violating the oaths or
divulging them was death by cutting the
throat from ear to ear and cutting out the
heart and tongue, a id disembowelmeut. In
the endowment house he solemnly swore
that he would avenge the blood of Joseph
Smith, the first president and prophet of
the Mormon church of the American na
tion, and that be would preach the same to
his children and his children's children,
that he would thenceforth and forever
begin and carry out hostilities against this
nation, and keep the same a profound
secret. Fifty men and women went through
the marriage ceremony on tbo same day
that Bond did, and Wilford Woodruff, the
present president of the Mormon church,
officiated.
Bond did not want to go through the
house, and applied to the bishop of his ward
to marry him. The bishop told him Brig
ham Young had given strict instructions
that no one oould be married outside the
endowment house. In going through he
obligated himself to sustain the doctrine of
polygamy, and all the women agreed tha
they would not oppose their husbands
should they desire to take unto themselves
more wives.
The next witness was Martin D. Wad
dell, who at one time was superintendent of
the church carpentering work. He is 67
years old, and joined the church at Pitts
burg, Pa., in 1847. He came to Utah
fifteen years later, and in 1863 went through
the Endowment house, w here all the secret
-ites of the church are performed. He went
through again a year later, and on both
o<. -s-ions took an oath to avenge tho
d earns of the prophets, Joseph and Hyruin
Smith, on the people of this nation, from
the President down to the last inau in the
country. In another room he took an oath
not to divulge the penalty of disembowel
ment.
“In that way,” witness said, “they had
the lc ck on us.” The witness refused to
take the oath to obey the priesthood in all
tilings. Asked as to whether he ever saw
the penalty inflicted for violating the oatti,
he swore that he saw a roan named Green,
who had apostasized, have his throat cut
from ear to ear. He gave full details of
the crime and the names of some of the men
who participated in that murder and who
are still living. When witness and others
remonstrated, they were told they would be
served the same way if they didn’t keep
quiet. W, H. Dame, who was the leader of
the band, said alter the crime: “He apos
tasized once, and now he has apostasized
and gone to hell!” Witness testified that
Green’s property, consisting of $5,01)0 in
cash and a wagon load of merchandise, was
taken to the chief tithing yarn in this city.
Dame was one of the principals in the
Mountain Meadow massacre
Bishop Caboon stated under oath that ho
joined tie Mormon church in 1833 at Kirts
land, 0., was a member of the cuurch forty
years, and during that time he had been a
Mormon bishop eighteen years. He went
through the endowment house forty-four
years ago. He told substantially the same
story as the other witnesses concerning tue
oaths and penalties and the necessities of
obeying the priesthood, and that apostacy
was punishable with death. It was the un
derstanding generally that God had estab
lished His kingdom on earth, and that the
Mormon church was that kiugdom,
and that to it the highest allegiance
of the citizen was due. No age
was fixed at which a man could go
through the endowment house. Mormons re
garded marriages outside the Mormon
church as illegal. Witness stated to toe
court that he considered the general doc
trine and teachings of the church to he in
imical aud hostile to the laws of the 1 ind.
One of the doctrines taught was that it was
not wrong to steal from the enemies of toe
church. This was taught secretly. Wit
ness was frequently instructed that it would
be pleasing to the church to have a certain
man put out of the way, aud he knew lots
of men who had been secretly murdered.
By order of the court he gave tue cam s of
several men who had been so murdered.
Tue doctrine was to obey the priesthood,
even though in violation of the law of the
laud. For forty years publicly the Mor
mons professed loyalty, while they prac
ticed i reason. They fully believed that
this government would be overthrown, a id
that the Mormon kingdom would be estab
lished on it* ruins. It was taught for years
that this would come to pass soon. Another
doctrine of the church was that if a man
violated any of his endowment house oaths
the only way he could he saved for
eternity was to shed his blood here. This
doctrine was taught publicly and in print.
James; McGuffy told of the Mountain
Meadow massacre, and connected it with
the oaths taken in the endowment house.
He is a man 75 years of age. He took an
oath in 1856 to uproot and des roy the
American government He further took a i
oath to obey the priesthood in all things
spiritual and temporal, even to.the building
of a house. There were three organized
bands of church murderers in those days
called Damtes, Blood Atoners and Aveng
ing Angels. They had the work appor
tioned to them by Brigham Young, who
was considered God on earth.
Quite a sensation was caused |when
Charles Gilmore was called to the stand. He
aeked to be excused from testifying on the
ground that if he divulged the endowment
nou&e oaths his life would staud forfeited to
the church, aud while he cared not for hirn
he did care for his wife and family.
ne court thought the government was
abundantly able to protect him. and he was
required to testify. He related how be had
been bathed and 'anointed on going thr ugb
the endowment house, described tne peculiar
garments which Mormons were cotnpellei
1 1 put on there, told ho v an old cavalry
saber was exhibited undo- a pecnliar light,
so as to make a ghastly sight when the oath
was taken, and described the oaths and
penalties in detail.
One of the Mormon attorneys in this case
was then called, and said he had been
through the endowment house two veers
ago, but he refused to tell the court all the
o iths he had taken there. Tne c urt ad
journed till tomorrow, when other wit
nesses will be examined.
BULLOCH COUNTY’3 RAILROAD.
ctatesboro Now a Booming Railroad
Town.
Statesboro, Nov. 16.— Although the
weather was rather unfavorable, about
2,000 people collected at this place to-day to
celebrate the opening of the new railroad,
which connects Statesboro with the Cen
tral railro id. It was a very happy crowd
notwithstanding the rain. It was largely
composed of farmers and their families.
The Tennille br iss band was present with
its fourteen pieces, and added much to the
interest of the occasion.
THE ROAD.
The road is fr m Dover, at station
on the Central, to Statesboro. The last
spike was driven after night on Friday,
and the event signalized with salvos of
anvil artillery and the most exuberant
demonstrations of joy. The road is tea
miles in length, and cost about $50,000,
which sum was raised by the citizens them
selves from the sale of the bonds of the
road, which are readily floated at par.
The oomnany also owns the engine and
equipments, and will run the road for
themselves and keep it independent of all
other organizations. The company is com
posed of the following gentlemen: J. H.
Buekhalter, F. T. Lockhart, J. A. Fleming
and J. £. Hogan. Mr. Hogan is from Bul
loch, the others all citizens of Augusta.
Tee trustees are John A. North, B. E.
Turner and J. A. Brannen.
THE MASS MEETING.
The mass meeting was opened with prayer
by Itev. Mr. Wilson. Cot D. R. Groover
delivered the introductory address. He
said:
“Had any one publicly announced one year
ago that Statesboro would iu less than twelve
months be a railroad town, such parson would
have brought upon himself the criticism of la
boring under some mental delusion.
But wejlive in an age of progress—a day in
which apparent impossibilities are overcome.
The grea tbaryiers and obstacles to a railroad
to this point have been, first, the Ogeechee
river, w th Its broad and murky swamps, and,
second, the extreme lethargy of our people.
But, thank God! wo have been aroused from
our slumbers, and have been made to realize
the necessities and demands of the times.
We have contributed our mite to the develo >-
ment of our county, and to-day it is my pleas
ure and privilege to formally announce to you
that Statesboro, your county site, has railroad
connection with the worl!. This day marks an
era of greater progress and a higher civiliza
for our people.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to your
county site upon this occasion -ai occasion
that will be memorable in the county’s histurv.
I would not do my duty did I fail iu the outset
of my remarks to return the most sincere
thanks of the people of this town and county
to the Messrs.; Burckhalters, Lockhart and
Fleming for their enterprise in the projection
and completion of the Dover aud Statesboro
railroad. Tneae gentlemen have been our bene
factors, and we most earnestly appreciate your
labors and efforts in our behalf.
I believe it is conceded that mv friend James
E. Hogan is the father of this road, havi g first
invite,d attention to its feasioility; that the
Messrs. Burckhalters, Fleming and Lockhart
nurtured it from its inception to iis completion.
Bulloch is in its infancy. Its future can only
be guessed at. Only 10 to 15 per cent, of its
lands are in cultivation. We produce more
bales of cotton to the quantity of land planted
than any other county in Georgia.
We plant sea island; make 8,600 bales, worth
SSOD.OiiO; it is cultivated by the owners of the
soil. There are ! ,20J farms in the county. The
log house has given way to new framed dwel
lings.
Teople are jubilant over their harvest for the
year 1889. anu out of debt and have money.
Our railroad will pay a dividend, as it will
carry several thousand bales of C-ittoa and
bring our fertilizers and merchandise
Mr. Grover further state! that the new
road would open up to the market 300,000
acres of virgin timber-land, worth over a
million of dollars.
MR. FREDERICK LOCKHART
of Augusta was introduced and made a
ringiug speech replete with hutnor and
good points. This is the only road in
Georgia whose bonds bear 7 per cent, inter
est, and the i-sue, which is but $6,000 per
mile, secured by first mortgage.
Hon. Morgan Rawls of Effingham county
was called for and responded in a few
felicitous remarks. After the announce
ment, by John Brannen, that the company
was now ready to deliver their bonds to all
subscribers for the cash t e meeting ad
journed. A bountiful repast was served by
the good citizens of Bulloch to the immense
throng in attendance.
It is said so large a crowd has never been
assembled before in Bulloch county, and
the people are not a little proud of" their
railroad.
BULLOCH’S PROSPERITY.
Bulloch county, though hitherto destitute
of direct railroad facilities, thus being
placed at a great disadvantage, still comes
grandly t > the fore, aud ~ puts in her
c.aim to be tbo banuer county of Southern
Georgia. In proof of this, she points to
the fact that in 1879 her taxable values
were only $1,000,000, whereas they now foot
up ft!,000.000, an advance of 100 per cent,
in ten years. Of this amount *350,000 has
been the increase in 1889 ove- the return of
the previous year. A magnificent showing.
This county was laid out in 1796, and the
first session of the superior court was
held at the residence of William Fletcher
on May 12, 1800, Judge M. McAllister pre
siding. The grand jury chose William
Cone as their foreman. A quaint old book,
spotted with age, which is still preserved
among the records no tains the cuarire of
the judge on this occasion to the grand jury.
It is a unique document, full of scathing
rebuke for the vices o£ the times, and ihe
sternest admonitions to the grand inquest
of the county to do its whole duty in the
promises.
STATESBORO
received its name and was made the county
site in 18J3. Until three years ago, hardly
a half dozen dilapidated buildings aside
from the court house were to be seen. The
sleep of liip Van Winkle was not more
profound than the syncope of this old town.
But now, all is changed. Life, animation
and the spirit of imorovement seem to per
vade everything. Quail sides new dwell
ings, gleaming paint aud handsome stores
greet the eye.
STATISTICS.
The place has been incorporated and will
hold its first municipal election early In De
cember. It boasts thirty neat dwellings,

UNCLE SAM'S CLOCKS.
Wtat It Costs tha Government to
Wind and Sot Its Clocks.
From the Omoha World Herald.
It costs Uncle Sam thousands of dollars a
year to have his clocks wound. Every
Monday morning you see men going about
the departments carrying little ladders, like
those used by lamp-lighters. Their bud ness
is to wind and keep in order the clocks in
the departments. Each man has his own
department or a section of the department
to look alt %r the clocks, and this is his sole
business. In some places men are employed
by the month for this purpose, while
in other cases the contract is let
by the month or year to some enter-
Drising clo k rerairsr, who sends a
“journeyman” around to wind the clocks,
and see wuethar tney are in order and then
goes himself to make such repairs as ere
necessary. The cost of winding and caring
for the clocks in the departments runs at
the rate of $75 to SIOO a month in each
department. There are in the treasury
department nearly 400 clocks. Some of
these are expensive ones aud cost away up
in the hundreds of dollars, though the aver
age value of departmental clocks is not
more than perhaps sls or S3O apiece. A
good many of the clocks in the halls of the
public build! gs and also those in the rooms
occupied by the hea ls of departments are
very valuable, costing away up in the
hundreds.
Drinking Beer in Bavaria.
“While traveling; in Germany and Ba
varia during the pa.t summer I vras much
interested in watching the people drink
beer,” said Ralph L. Shainwald of New
York. “In Bavaria there was a keg of beer
on the platform of every station. When the
train stopped there was a grand rush to get
at the keg. Each man c :rried his own glass.
After driuking all he could before the train
started the beer drinker filled his glass to
the brim and carried it into the car. After
the glass was emptied it was set upon tbo
window sill of the car. All along the whole
length of the train on both sides those
glasses sat on the window sills, silent me
mentoes of the bibulous tastes of the passen
gers on the train. At one station I saw tho
train delayed for five minutes because the keg
was empty. A full one had to be procured
before t e passengers would resume their
seats in the coaches.” Mr. Shainwald said
that each glass c attained a pint, and that
the cost was about the equivalent of 2
cents. As an example of German beer
capacity in Munich, Mr. Shainwald said
the beer was served in glasses nearly one
foot tall and containing nearly one quart.
An American friend of the traveler tackied
one of these glasses and managed to stow it
away after half an hour’s hard work. A
corpulent German sitting near showed his
contempt for this feat by pointing to the
half empty glass in front of him, and ex
claiming: “Das ist mein acht und zwan
zigte.' (23th) bier!’
Berious Cnarges Against Managers.
From the Baltimore American.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wile >x is at it again.
She is after the scalps of certain New York
theatrical managers. The “Poetess of Pas
sion,” wiihout calling names, mak s some
serious ch irges against the managers of
theaters there, and of theatrical companies
wi h headquarters there, to the effect that
promotion among the attractive female
members of a company is often based—not
upon merit, but upon the applicant’s willing
ness to become the personal favorite of the
manager himself, who is usually a married
man, and often a man of family.
These charges have been made before, but
in the latest case they are backed up by the
testimony of Mrs. Wilcox herself, who
knows girls who have left managers' offices
in tears aud without promotion, although
deserving It, because they were too g >od
(or the manager. To such as these Mrs.
Wiloox points as a cause of the wickedness
wrought among attractive women who
undertake to lift up or elevate the stage.
It is now the turn of the New York man
agers to say something in denial, but it is
not thought that they will m ike any elab
orate stateme its iu rebuttal of .Mrs. Wil
cox’s emphatic testimony.
FALL OF HARRISON’S AX.
Very Few Democrats Now ia Federal
Offices in Florida.
Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 16.—John C.
Slocum, who was appointed by President
Harrison to succeed ex-Giov. W. D. Blox
ham as surgeon general of Florida for the
United States, arrived to-day and will
assume the duties of his new office early
next week. Tuis is among the last political
removals President Harrison can make, as
ail the important offices in Florida have
been filled by republicans, many boing so
called personal friends of the President.
Sentenced for Life.
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 16.—A special
to the Journal from Bessemer, Minn., says:
"Ti.e Holzhay case was completed at 9
o’clock this morning. The jury went out at
9:30 o’clock and returned at 10:15 o’clock
with a verdict of guilty. Holzhay was then
sentenced for life at hard labor. The
prisoner broke down aud seemed dazed
when the foreman announced the verdict.
The judge’s charge was read this morning,
lasting about twenty-five minutes. The
attorneys for the defense will make an
effort to secure anew trial”
To Play With the Brotherhood.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 16.—Fred Pfeffer
to-day signed Farrell and young Duffy of
last year’s Chicago league" team to play
next season in the Players’ League Club of
that city.
Hendrick Hudson was not the first Jwhite
man to sail the Hudson. An old French map
by Dufosse, has just been received by State
Librarian Howell, at Albany, which shows that
the river bearing his name was known as the
Riviere Grande before Mr. Hudson and his hold
Dutch crew glided over the waters of it in the
Half Moon. _ This map is of great historical
value, establishing as it does beyond question
the location of what was called Norumbega.
Prof. Eben Horsford has lately given consid
erable time to locating Norumbega, and finally
decided that it was in the eastern part of Massa
chusetts. Tills map, which was made in 1605,
locates Norumbega in the vicinity of the
Grande or Hudson river.
MEDICAL.
Catarrh
Is a constitutional and not a local
and therefore it cannot be cured by local ap.
plications. It requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working
through the blood, eradicates the impurity
which causes and promotes the disease, and
Catarrh
effects a permanent cure. Thousands of
people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla as a remedy for catarrh when other
preparations had failed. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
also builds up the whole system, and makes
you feel renewed in health and strength.
Catarrh
“ For several years I have been troubled
with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca
tarrh. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla with the
very best results. It cured me of that contin
ual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-tip feel
ing. It has also helped my mother, .who has
taken It for run down state of health and kid

P. SMITH of Columbus, Ga.
a plain question:
I ask a plain question. Suppose you were a
first-class printer in every respect. Suppose
you had invested f20,000 in a business in which
you designed to make a success. Suppose you
had some pride in you and meant to be square
toed and punctual. What would you do?
Would you not hustle, and convince the people
that you meant business? Would you not want
more trade to koep up with the procession?
