JEFFERSON TALKS.
Says He is Wrong in His Head and
Was Sick in Raleigh.

jefferson, charged with the murder of
Capt c. Barnes, of Wilson, who has
been taken to Wilson for trial, tells the
Wilson Times that he has been in bad
health since his confinement in Raleigh.
The Times adds:
''As to the events of that memorable
afternoon he said he remembered lit
tie, but that he heard some hogs were
i'll the field and went ITO get them out,
and inasmuch as he was going down
on the swamp he decided to take a gun
and shoot some squirrels, so he borrow
ed one, but that he did not remember
clearly any of the past, that his head
was muddled and that he felt sometimes
that he had no sense at all.
I'VE told him that the people believed
he was guilty of murder and asked him
if it would not be better to make n
clean breast of it. He said he did not
remember anything about shooting Mr.
Barnes, as his head was muddled We
asked him if his mind had always been
clear, he said no, that for several years
he had been added.
In appearance Jefferson is very repul-

IN THE GRIP. EPIDEMIC.
Special UseOf Hot CrOgs
DR.. Cyrus Edson,
OF New York Health Department, and
DR.. Libermann,
Surgeon General of the French Army,
BY
'r,,c kdcor

I'll. Liberman, NJ. D., Surgeon-General
of the French Army, in an article on
''La Grippe" Qnfuenza) recommends
the following hot grog: 'One third
goblet of Vim Mariani, with two-thirds
boiling water, cloves and cinnamon, and
with or without sugar, makes grog of
exquisite flavor, which produces imme-
diate beneficial effect in severe cases of
cold, attended by convulsive coughing
and depression. 1t is best taken at bed
time. In the grip epidemics in France
it was the tonic absolutely relied upon,
and has received frequent deserved men
tion in the Medical Press. 1T has been
shown that patients recover very slowly
there is much general weakness and las
situde, invariably calling for something
in the nature of a mild tonic stimulant,
and it has been found that Mariani Wine
is unequalled for such cases."
DIR. Cyrus Edison of the New York
Health Department has made a careful
sturdy of the subject in his book ON LA
Grippe" published by Appleton and Com
pany. On page 80 he writes of Vim
Mariani and calls special attention to it
in the form of hot grog. In speaking
of the complete prostration accompanied
by the depression caused by this dis
ease, and also during entire GONZALES
cence, his preference for a tonic stimuli
liant is hot grog of Vim Mariani. He
says it is excellent for the purpose in
tended, and recommends its use freely.
The remedy is simple and within easy
reach of all who suffer from this dreaded
,Isease.
A book with further explicit details
will be sent by Mariana & Co. 50 West

interests of the church government;
otherwise, they would be advised to re-
main where they are. Other mission
aries do not believe 1t necessary to
transplant their converts to American
soil. The Mormons, however, are car
rying out their system of concentration
which gives them a despotic power.
Elections are apparently fair, but those
who have abided with the saints any
length of time know that the church
nominees are invariably elected, ex-
cept in q few districts where the
Gentiles are In the majority.
TO refuse to vote as directed Is
"disobedience to counsel" and a viola
tion of the initiatory oath. A Mormon,
whether polygamist or not, always
votes for n Mormon, as against Gen
tile, and he uses the same prejudice on
juries.
Deception has ever been the practice
OF Mormon officials in their dealings
with OR government, and their state
ment that polygamy has been aban-
doned should not be relied on. How
ever, it may be in the most populous dis
tricts, but the power of rhis theocracy
is steadily growing stronger, and will,
no doubt, in time, become more trouble
some to this government.

FORM A TRUST.
Servant Girls of DrOOklyn Lay Down
Rules for the Housewives
to Follow.

Servantgirlsin Brooklyn have formed
q trust. Two women arrived In New
York from Germany last winter with
the purpose Of organizing q domestic
union. They gathered 100 or more of
general housework girls and succeeded
In forming n combine, pledging them to
demand SIC q month as minimum, and
laying down rules for their guidance.
1t WINS agreed that general houseworl
should consist of cooking and lightlaun-
dry work. oil shirts. collars or cuffs to
be sent to public laupdries. They were
10 do no outside work, such as sweeping
sidewalks or stoops, washing windows,
cleaning brass trimmings, or carrying
coal from the cellar, except for the
range.
Another rule agreed upon was that
the servant was to have the use of the
front basement as a sitting-room and
for the reception of guests, with one
full day out each week, and two weeks
vacation in summer with full pay.
How well they succeeded in enforcing
these extraordinary demands is shown
in the vast number of homes in the City
OF Churches that are servantless at
present. There are more women in
Brooklyn doing their own housework
to-day than ever before.

covery of gold, and consequent over
whelming immigration, California
would perhaps to-day be Mormon
state. A shipload had arrived from
New York, and n colony was "planted"
in San Francisco, and they practical
ly controlled the town. Another col
ony at San Bernardino was striving for
the control of the southern part of the
state.
The same colonization scheme for
power is now being carried out in Arizo-
ma, and to a lesser extent in New Mexico.
The same policy was adopted in the ter
ritories adjoining Utah before their ad-
mission as states, and in the tledgeling
state of Idaho the Mormons may soon
have the balance of power. Their num-
bers are largely increasing in Arizona,
Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
That this rapid growth of theocratic
power will ultimately prove n source of
trouble to this free government is more
than probable, and its nearness can be
estimated by the large number of ig-
norant and superstitious immigrants }
brought to these shores by the prose-
lyting agents of that church. 1t does
not matter whether or not these immi-
grants become polygamists upon their
arrival. The fact that they have taken
an oath of loyalty to the church, and it's
constituted authorities, is sufficient. 1t
is an unusual thing for religious or
der to require an oath from its mem
bers, but the Mormon theocracy does
this, and part of that oath is treason to
the United States government. Apos-
tates, who have become disgusted at the
hypocrisy and oppression of the church
of the so-called "Latter-Day Saints"
uniformly state that the initiation oath
Is one of the most revolving nature.
The new convert swears eternal en-
nifty to the UnitedStates government"
to "obey counsel without questioning
authority" and to "never reveal the
secret rites of the church." For violat-
ing this oath he agrees to forfeit his
life, by having his throat cut, in token
of which he draws his right hand across
his throat, as the oath is read to him.
That this is true is evidenced by the
similarity of the statements of many
apostates. The mysterious" death of
number of them, in the manner indi-
Gated, adds weight TO their revelations.
So it will be seen that a Mormon, wheth-
er polygamist or not, is not only OPP
posed to democratic institutions by
the nature of his oath, but is an enemy
to the United States government. They
do not ra1ord anv oath other thnn thn =
administered by their church author
tiles, as binding upon the conscience.
They deny the authority of any church
or state, except their own, to administer
an oath. This is one of the cardinal
doctrines of the church.
The Mormon church is secret soci-
ETY., and has code of signs and pass

Nauvoo. ILL.,, this oath of hatred to the
government was added to their creed.
Driven from civilization, the Mormon
leaders resolved to get as far from 1t as
possible, where they would be isolated
from the world, and could build up
government of church and state, with
polygamy as it's basis. Here they
thought they could In time be sufficient
ly powerful to defy the United States
government, and for this purpose all
men capable of bearing arms were en-
rolled in the militia, known as the
Brothers of Gideon" or "Danites."
Here they sought to carry out the most
degrading social experiment that ever
poisoned the human mind. But for
tunately, again, the discovery of gold in
California prevented the threatened
danger of the rising rebellious govern
ment. The great Salt Lake valley was
on the direct route to California, and
the country swarmed with Gentiles.
The immigrants stopped at Salt Lake
City for supplies, and many wintered
there, some being compelled to labor
for means to enable them to proceed to
the gold fields. 1t was the industry of
these immigrants mainly which gave to
that country it's rapid growth, and not
that Of the Mormons, as they so proudly
boast. Then came the trans-continen-
tai railroad, and the Mormons found
themselves hemmed in by civilization.
While the contact with civilization
checked the growth of polygamy, rail
road facilities have aided the mission
aries in gathering saints" from all
parts of the world. Immigration has
greatly increased and is still increasing.
At each semiannual conference, held
in April and October, missionaries are
sent to new fields, selecting those where
the greater degree of ignorance pre-
walls. The immigrants brought to Utah
by the Mormon church authorities are
Europe, and are usually of the most
ignorant and degraded classes, whose
minds are clouded by the grossest SUI
perstition. They are not the class who,
in time, become loyal citizens, for they
are too deeply 'imbued with fanaticism
They know nothing of the principles of
republican government, for the priests
teach only loyalty to the Mormon the
ocracy, which is opposed to both re-
ligious and political freedom.
The object in bringing these immi-
grants to Utah is to control them in the
