UNION SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISERS

WADE HAMPTON SPEAKs.-Charleston,
publishes a long letter from Gen. Wade
Hampton correcting errors in the recent
articles of Gems. Johnston and Imboden
touching the first battle of Manassas and
Bull Run. Gen. Hampton shows that Hamp-
ton Legion, 600 strong, which he command
ed, arrested the victorious column of Sher-
man and Reyes, who were driving the Con-
federate forces back, and that the Legion
so delayed the Federal advance as to enable
Confederate reinforcements to be brought
up. The Neacs and Courier gives an elabor-
ate review of the battle, the history of which
it claims mus. now be rewritten. Its con-
clusion is that Hampton was to jackson at
Manassas what jackson was to the whole
Confederate left. Hampton saved Stone
wall jackson as Jackson saved the army
1t was the magnificent fighting OF the
Legion under terrible odds that gave jack
son time to bring his troops into position.
Had he not had an opportunity to form the
Nirginians, who afterwards stood "like
stone WALL" the battle would have been IL
retrievably lost. The opportunity to form
those Virginians was given to Jackson by
Hampton and his men, and was given by
them alone.

A SHORT TRIAL.
Testimony in the Simpson Case Closed
and Arguments Commenced.

The twelfth juror was secured IN the
Simpson polygamy case yesterday after
noon at O'Clock. The jury, as COM
pleted. was as follows: James E. Paine,
G. D. Schell, John McLains, Edward
Bird, /. A. Brim, J. r. Nichols, Edward
Roche, G. w. Walton, w. IL. Knox, j.
w. Mecham, Isaac Jennings, Adolph
Anderson.
The evidence for the prosecution in
this trial is the same in substance as
submitted in the examination beforeCom-
missioner Mckay a few months ago,
which was published in all the city
papers at the time, and a rehash OF the
testimony is therefore unnecessary now.
Simpson is charged with marrying Emma
Everett in July, 1883, having at that time
wife living and undivorced, to-wit
Hannah Powell Simpson. Eleven wit
nesses were examined by the prosecu-
ton
An attempt has been made 10 invest
this case with extra interest by alleging
that the defendant was not Mormon.
1t has been learned that he was a
Mormon at the time OF the alleged second
marriage, but has since been excommu-
nicated. The marriage to Miss Everett,
however, was not what is known as a
celestial marriage, it having been per-
formed by Judge Smith and marriage
certificate issued.
The prosecution rested their case this
forenoon and several witnesses were
called for the defense. Among them was
Mrs Powell, the alleged first wife, who
denied that she was now or ever had been,
the wife of the defendant Simpson was
also placed Oh the stand and denied the
alleged first marriage.
The evidence was all submitted and
Mr. Dickson made the opening argument.
when court was adjourned until this after
noon.

I, the undersigned, am 90 years of age, and
ships soon broke me down. l have tried your
most celebrated surgeons and physicians, some
of whom desired to operate on my womb, but
preferred a natural death to so much suffering
and probable death after all: in fact, none of
them seemed to understand my case, and after
doctoring for many years l kept getting worse,
and when employed Dr. Foot, Jr., 1 was COM
plete wreck and almost dead My troubles
were of so long standing that was afraid that
even DR.. Foot, Jr., could not cure me. Although
he would not promise positively to cure me,
still he stated that he would try hard to cure
me, and thought that my chances were better
under specialists care than all of the family
physicians in the west. So I thought myself.
My disease was the same as thousands of other
women, and am not woman to give up easy.
You can depend on the statement that not one
woman in a thousand could have lived through
what have and now, in only about two months
treatment can truthfully say that L feel and
look like a new woman, and believe myself
practically cured, and l have got my moneys
worth for certain, which no other doctor gave
me before. Now you sick and half dead ones
don't delay in employing DR.. Foot, Jr. 1 am
having my daughters treated and sending all
my personal friends, and you can depend on
just what the Doctor says. He won't lie for a
little money; he don't have to. He has all
the patients he and his doctors can wait on:
and he treats the poor just as well as the rich,
and he has my good wishes and God bless him.

This is to certify that my wife was in a
wretched condition, troubled with Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaint, Nervous and General Debility
Heart troubles, Female Weakness, etc, very
Weak Back, Headache, etc She was in a terri
BILE condition and had given up being cured
and would not have doctors any more if Dr.
Foot Jr., had not come to Salt Lake. He being
a specialist, had new hopes and more faith
and when he looked at my wife and told her
just her condition it gave me renewed hopes
and the Doctor said he was very certain that he
could greatly benefit her, if not cure her, and
as the Doctor talked good sense and seemed
skillful and honest, paid him all in advance
telling him that now he would not have to
worry about his pay, and for him to do his best.
Now, after few weeks treatment, must tell
my friends and the public, that never saw or
heard OF such a wonderful Improvement
Everything the Doctor predicted has come true
and she has gained in every respect as much
and more than he promised. Friends. there is
no mistake about it, DR.. Foot Jr., is lust the
physician we have needed for many wears in
Utah. Take my advice and give him YOUR case
for treatment. The Doctor will tell you as near
the truth as possible, is my firm belief.
