Judge strickfamd's Charge to thu
Grand Jury at Provo. y,


8 SALT LAKx, January I5.-The charge of
Judge Strickland to the grand jury of the
United States Court at Provo, on "Wednesday,
and published to-day, is pronounced by the
Tribune as one OF the most pointed and able
ever delivered in the Territory. He calls at
tention to various assassinations, the merci-
less mutilation of Henry Jones, Henry Lewis,
and others, some of whom died from their
injuries. He declares that the punishment
awarded i'm the case of Lewis, whose offence
was that of being betrothed to a maiden who
was coveted by another, VIZ: that IN another
world they should become servants OF the
dead victims thereafter and forever. That
he should be made whole and have the maiden
restored to him is not legally putting in jeop-
ardy once, and the jury must disregard It as
spolygamous. Wives as heads OF families are
permitted to pre-empt homcsteads and share
the protection Of the government. It is no
torious that msny continue to enter the polygg-
amy relations, and are publicly counselled to
do so. The Judge continues: There is exist
ing within this Territory most peculiar and
startling state of affairs. Polygamy is the
merest nothing compared with the bloody
despotism which forced and perpetuates i
among the people. Despotism is SO stroug
that many are afr id to demand an examina-
ton, ar make inquiries about murder COM
mitted at their own doors. a. L charge you
with the duty Of being in at the death Of that
most terrible relic OF barbarism- blood atone

had been paid to the newspapers Of the dis
trict for advertising within the last 6 months.
One of the papers was little theatrical pro-
gramme, and another q sheet which he had
never heard Of before, and which announced
its subscription terms at one cent year,
payable at the end Of the year.
Mr.. Hoar remarked that the present condi-
ton of things in the district was the result of
Congress having parted with Its jurisdiction
over it,
Mr.. Potter of N. Y, said he accepted the
reproval contained in Mr.. Hoar's remarks,
and sincerely regretted that he supported the
bill for new territorial government. The
abuses Of that government were so great and
extraordinary that they should be Investigated
by the House.
Mr. Wood of New York also expressed re-
greet that he supported the territorial govern
ment bill, but did not concede. that with the
bill parted the jurisdiction of Congress over
the district. He thought the investigation
should be referred to a special committee.
Mr.. Dawes joined the two New York men,
bers in expressing regret that the new terri
torial government had been established. He
had long ago pledged himself that whenever
he saw the head of a rascal or thief whether
in his own or any other party, no would hit it
if he could. He believed in probing the sores
of his own party. If the condition of things in
the district were such as TO commend itself
to public judgment he wanted the party to
have the credit of it, but if it was as repre-
sented in this petition going from bad to
worse and from worse to the worst he wanted
the fact made known and the guilty persons
held up to reprobation.

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
Evil caused by the use Of injurious compounds
FOR the hair, which are prepared and forced
INTO market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepara-
lions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par"
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, We
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent Of the Boz
ton Medical Institute, who has been sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than
quarter of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that il
claimed for it, without possibility Of injury.
"IAave tested sample Of DR.. Greens's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonows METALS or
injurious matters erist in it.
C. r.. JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use Of this Hair Restorer for twenty
FIVE years has tested its superiority ~ dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. It removes
aandruff, prevents the hair from falling of,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, Dr.
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained ito good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. Il is
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medica! In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at
| 81 per bottle, or six for IS, or sent BY ex-
press to any part of the country. Pamphlet
sent free. Address DR.. r. Greene, "a Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass.
