Life in Utah; or the Mysteries and
Crimes Of Mormonism

Being an expose of their secret rites
and ceremonies, with q full and au-
thentic history Of Polygamy and the
Mormon sect, from its origin to the
present time" by J. II. Beadle, edi.
tor Of the Salt Lake Reporter, is the
title of @ valuable work Just issued
by the National Publishing Co.,
Chicago, Ill.
For more than thirty years the
world has been Mortified, startled and
perplexed by the audacity and sue
cess of u sect calling themselves Nor
mons. Though founded in fraud,
this sect has succeeded in spite Of all
opposition, untilit isto-day the stand
ing reproach Of our country.
The Authors long residence in
Utah and his position as Editor of
the headings Journal OF that Territory,
peculiarly qualified him to write his
work, Mormonism has been produce
tive Of so many dark and strange
mystertes-zso many terrible crimes
that few can Comprehend, without
an intimate knowledge of it, how
much wickedness it has TO answer
for, and whata standing menace to
order and society it is.
The work shows how Joe Smith
and Brigham Young have been enab-
led to deceive and cheat their follow
ers how by leading them on from
crime to crime, and enticing them
with centious-baits, they have sue
ceeded in maintaining their influence
over them and treats of the Mormon
religion, its infamous and heathenish
character, its multitude of gods, its
abominable doctrines and practices,
revealing many strange and, outrag-
eous ceremonies. Of the EhdosCDtent
or initiation ceremonies, showing
how obscene and disgusting they are
how female modesty is outraged in
them, and how licentiousnessist taught
as part Of their religious creed.
1t. 10 important that the public
should know what manner of people
are growing up in our very midst
This work gives full and authentic
amount Of their degraded social con-
dition, their blasphemous rites and
ceremonies, their sacrilegious doc
trlnes and practices, and is the most
and startling account of IL
ccntiousness and crime ever publish
ed. 1t is calculated TO do great good
by giving to the public . candid and
impartial statement Of question
which bids fair TO cause no little
trouble. The book is sold only by
subscription, and agents are wanted
in every county.

INSANE Asylum The Governor
has refused to approve the action of
the Commissioners in locating the
new asylum for the insane near
Oshkosh, for the reason that forty
Of the three hundred acres offered are
wet marsh ; that the location for the
building is too near the marsh and
another more distinct reason is that
the ground does not allow sufficient
drainage. The Commissioners have
been called together again, and will
make new report. The Governor
has done good thing in rejecting
this site, if the site is really such a
one as stated.

HA.The planet Jupiter has been
for three months presenting spec
taclo of singular beauty. The equa-
torial belt, which for years has been
the brightest, is not nearly so bright
as the light belts to the north and
south, which are of pearly white.
The central belt is of a rich golden
yellow, instead of the white which it
has shown for years. The dark
bands between them are coppery red,
and the poles and belts near them
are ashen blue. 1t is suspected that
Jupiter has not so far cooled down
as to have ceased to be partially self
luminous. -- -t-t-

PENSION OFFICE FRAUDs.-The
frauds in the Pension Office turn out
10 be more extensive than at first
supposed, and their investigation
promises TO involve some very prom
inent men. Since September last
several hundred thousand dollars
have been recovered through detec-
tives from dishonest claim agents
and attorneys, and handed over TO
the rightful pensioners or placed
again to the credit of the pension
fund. 1t is understood that the
most stupendous frauds have been
brought ia light in the Southern
States. One Of the parties charged
with fraud is a Mr.. DENLY, of
Georgia, man of some prominence.
Another, and one Of far moro promi-
hence because be is q member of
Congress, is Roderick r. Butler of
Tennessee. His connection with
the cadetship business is of too re-
cent occurrence to refer to. His
complication in the frauds on the
Pension Office, Commissioner Van
Aernam states, is far darker. An
agent is now in Tennessee making a
thorough investigation preparatory
to legal prosecution. Money OBJ
tanned on check, forged attorney
ships, non-existence Of alleged pen
sioners, moneys withheld from PEN
sioners, and cases where pensioners
would be entitled several hundred
dollars, receiving but $50 or $75, are
some of the charges made. The
Commissioner has no doubt of the
guilt of Mr.. Butler, although the lat
ter alleges it is all right. Indeed, the
Commissioner for the last six months
has denied Mr.. Butler the right to
communicate personally, or to cor
respond with the Pension Bureau, or
do business with it in any way, not
even as member of Congress
These facts were in part made
known to Congressman Bingham, by
Commissioner Van Aernam, while
Congress was in session, but no pub
licity was made Of them at the time.
Butler is candidate for reelection
to Congress in November @
