ENDOWMENT HOUSE DIsCIso-
SURES-

There is quite sensation In Salt
Lake City over the disclosures in the
u. s. District Court relative to the
Endowment House obligations which
every good Mormon is supposed to
talEe when he pledges his adherence
to the faith. The Times-Revlew
gives a summary Of the disclosures
made at the recent investigation as
follows:
A number of apostate Mormons
have testified that they took such
obligations, which pledged them to
avenge the killing Of Joseph Smith;
eternal hostility to the United States
Government and blind obedience to
the heads Of the Church in preference
to any other power o. he face Of the
earth. The witnesses also testified
that blood atonement was one Of the
doctrinal teachings in the endowment
eeremonials and that the penalty Of
apostacy or exposure Of the secrets,
was death by having the throat cut
from ear to ear and acknowledgment.
The matter before the Court upon
which this evidence was admitted,
was upon the qualification of a men,
Der of the Mormon Church to become
= citizen Of the United States, the
issue being raised that no person
under such obligations Of hostility to
the government was entitled to the
rights and privileges of citizenship.
This is tho first time that such dis
closures have been made a part of
Court proceedings, although there
have been several published exposures
OF the initiation ceremonies of the
Endowment House, which were sub
stantially the same as were sworn to
by the witnesses in this case.

Spectators blocking To the New
CapisaI-Big transfers OF Property


PIERRE, s. D., Oct. 5.--The electicn Of
Pierre as the capital OF south Dakota bids
fair TO create a boom which sugll outrival
Oklahoma last spring. Strangers are flock
Ing into the city by thousands, every train
being loaded down with rrospe2tors aad
spectators.
Over s5O0,O worth OF property changed
bands to-day. Lots which could have been
bougat weex ago for 800 sold to-day for
81 600. The people are excited and the
town Is In a constant hQbuuo both night
and day, and 1t Is impossible to preserve
any kind OF order. The people have been
celebrating necessarily for As hours.
Fort Pierre across the river IS also
crowded with boomers and intended settlers
meny OF whom have escaped into the reser.
walton Notwithstanding the large force Of
regulars and Indian police stationed there
to prevent eneroRchment.
The scheme discovered to-day by the
authorities which was on foot by Pgrg OF
boomers w0s 70 sneak across the river at
| midnight and take possession OF the land
around Fort Pierre and thereby capture the
town site. Application had been quietly
made to the government for town site
papers and II the scheme had not been IN
eatthed at the opportune moment II would
| probably have been successful. Military
assistance has been telegraphed for and
every attempt will be made to preserve
order.
