Denunciation of Temperance Orato

Denunciation of Temperance Orator.
BUTTE, Mont, October S.-Whereas, The
so styled Colonel Hawkins has been from
place to place, in this Territory for the
past months, claiming the countenance and
CO operation OF Christian communities and
claiming the power to organize Temper
ance Clubs" and Bands OF Hope" under
the recognition OF the l. O. G. r.; and
Whereas, He claims to be an acceptable
member OF the NJ. E. Church without pro-
ducing certificate to that effect; and
Whereas, He violently abuses ministers
OF the gospel who are filling our charges in
various places, and endeavors to poison
the minds OF the people against them, and
disaffect members OF the churches because
he does not get the cooperation OF said
ministers and because church doors are
closed against him; and
Whereas, He reports himself fabulously
rich and declares that he is now building
universities and reading rooms on his own
responsibility, but is inconsistently taking
public collections and so letting private
loans from many unsuspecting good citi-
zens, and because of his failure therein
ever after bemeans them; and,
Whereas, He has the reputation OF
making evasion OF payment in the case OF
board bills and room rent; Therefore
be it
Resolved, That we, an association of
ministers in Butte City, do announce to |
the public at large that we do not indorse
the said Colonel Hawkins, and that, in our |
judgment; he is entirely unworthy the con- |
fdence OF any intelligent community.

town, this morning, at about O'Clock, the
frame dwelling of N. B. Wade, and occupied
by Mrs. Sarah Haggins, situated south OF
the railroad, was discovered on fire. After
breaking open the door, Wade was
found unconscious at his mothers bedside.
He was taken out, but died in a
few minutes. His mother was dead before
taken out. Mrs. Gates was not found un-
til her limbs and arms were burned off, and
she died in a short time.
A shoe knife covered with blood, and q
bottle OF Paris Green were taken from
Wade's pocket, and the Indications are
that he murdered the two women and then
committed suicide. The testimony before
the coroner tends to susst aSkiate this
theory.
Mrs. Gates WAS the widow of n soldier and
resided with Mrs. Haggins. who had reared
her from child. In 1870 Mrs. Gates WAS
granted 81 400 arearage OF pension and a
regular pension of $40 q month. Wade
illegally assumed her guardianship. and
APPROPRIATED THE MONEY
to his own credit. Recently she complained
to a G.. A. R. post OF her treatment by
Wade. A legal guardian was appointed,
and it was found that Wade had appro-
propria ted her money.
To-day Wade would have been compelled
to account for the money, and it is pre-
suned he had been broodirg over the
matter SO much that he became insane,
went to his mothers house last night, and
after numbering Mrs. Gates, set fire to the
house. He is then supposed to have taken
IA large dose of paris green and thrown him
St Ii into the flames.

nothing is expected of Congress, under

However, the immediate success of such a

made by the COMMITTEES in preparing for

tanned in the substitute tariff bill, re-
ported by the Senate com nittee on

pressly prohibits the Importation OF such
opium.

Comparatively few people rode in them.

What Some of the Saints Have to Say Re
garding the Situation.
SALT LAKE, Utah, October 6.-To-day
was the second day OF the Mormon autumn
conference.
Apostle Grant cried loudly for tithing,
saying that those who paid freely were the
most happy and prosperous. He declared
that the Saints must live up to the whole
law of God.
Elder Morgan called for the education of
Mormon children in schools where they
can learn that Joseph Smith as prophet.
Apostacy is not SO much because OF inf.
deity as because OF ignorance of the true
principle OF the gospel.
Apostle Richards declared that the Saints
must live for he Lord and educate their
children in the faith. 1t is
THE DUTY OF THE PRIESTHOOD
to look after this, but it is not done. Must
promote young men to look after this.
Elder Noble thanked God that he had
seen the old scenes. We must be united
and carr out the principles of gospel.
Educate our children properly and no
power on earth can prevail against Us.
A. III. Cannon, a "penitentiary martyr"
said he had seen the place whence the
saints had been driven; these places had
been cursed by God and are unfit for ha abita-
ton of men. 1t is not crawling to accept
martyrdom frou the unjust hands, which
only test our faith. The Kingdom of God
is now established, never to 60 down.
