he found Mrs. Esgate in bad condi-
ton. The immense loss of blood had
so weakened her system that she was
unable to recover from the flrst
shock, and the ground on which she
lay was saturated six inches deep
with her life's blood. She died
about 1880 o'clock last evening and
her husband is Frustrated with grief.
The old axiom, at never rains
but it pours," holds good in this
case for yesterday Esgate received the
news that his mother. who lives in
Nebraska, was dying, and short
time ago, while Mrs. Esgate was visi-

their home and stole number of va
luables.
The funeral will be held tomorrow

DR.. Ray Palmer's sermon Sunday
at the Baptist church on evils Of Nor
monism was one of the strongest SER
mons ever preached in the city on
any subject and the polished way in
which DIR. Palmer rendered his speech
was highly gratifying. He had
chosen one of the most vital and inn
portant questions confronting the
people of the state of Idaho today,
and the language be used brought
home to the large congregation which
was in attendance, the fact that there
was time for settling the Mormon
question and that the time was the
present. Those of his hearers who
came disbelieving what has been said
on this question we're left with no
room for further doubt, and it is not
impossible that this speech will make
difference OF many votes on election
day.
He began with the early history
Of Joseph Smith, showing and prov
ing how he had practiced polygamy
in secret and that he forced his dici
Piles to follow him in his wrongdoing.
He told how the fact that the Nor
mons we're practicing polygamy was
kept fro the world and how a num-
Der Of converts in foreign countries
dropped the religion when they found
the true state Of affairs.
Tracing the movements of Brigham
Young from the eastern part of the
United States he followed them from
state to state pointing out how they
had been driven. out on account OF
their savage practices and polygamy.
From point to point he followed
their steps until they finally reached
Salt Lake Ia Utah. II was during
this march to the west that Brigham
Young demanded Fort Douglas OF
Gen. Warren who was then ia charge
sendin word that be would massa-
ere every person then there, il they
did not surrender the fort. Gen.
Warren, on receiving this message
Immediately returned one 10 the effect
that he would blow the MOrmOns to
atoms If they harmed hair ON the
head Of any person connected with
the fort. In glowing words be traced
the Mountain Meadow massacre, and
told how the Mormons forsook their
faith on learning Of this tragedy.
Moving downward in the history Of
these infamous people he told Of the
practices of the hierarchy in Utah
showing how they worked against
the GentiIes and how they treated
their own people who refused 70 be-
come reconciled to the pHctiee Of
polygamy; how the Gentiles were 50
prosecuted that they at last appealed
to the United States government and
what it did to relieve their suffering.

The company is incorporated and
stock is being sought after as it is
considered good speculation. The
original claim was located by W. E.
Alkire who has pro spected in this and
other states fot a nubmer of years
and has made a number of finds.
Interest was first displayed in this
property some time ago when word
was first received that claim had
been located. At that time it was
not thought that the property would
be worth much, but the striking of
the ledge has changed the opinions of
the doubters.

DIR. PALMER ON
MORMONISM
DenOunCes This Evil in Sundays
Sermon

This action brought about the man.
ifesto by President Woodruff, of the
Mormon church; Woodruff claiming
that the practice Of polygamy had
cease and telling the people that
there would be no interference in
politics. He spoke of the edict
Aworn TO by the successor, Jos. +.
Smith. The Gentiles taking theMor-
mons at their word and believing
them sincere in their actions Joined
hands with them in securing state
hood for Utah. Subsequent events
proved this to be a huge fraud and
merely political move TO gain adj
mission to the United states by the
Mormons. One apostle declared that
it had never been intended to carry
out the manifesto.
Before the Senate committee
which was appointed two years ago TO
investigate Reed Smoot, Smith de.
clared he was q polyRamist and at
present has six wives and 80 children.
Apostle Lyman has three wives as has
Brigham Roberts. All of the apostles
Of the hierarchy admit that they are
breaking the law and the manifesto
and declare that they will continue
to live In this polygamous state in
spite of the law. Smith said that all
the leading men in the church were
polygamists. DR.. Palmer proved that
the church honors the practice of po-
lygamy in all walks Of life and no
man has ever been disciplined by the
church for plural marriage. A Nor
mon bishop has been deposed beca use
he did not believe in plural marriage
and a prominent school teacher has
been dismissed for criticising Smith
for having so many wives.
According to the doctrine Of the
church unless a man practices poly
gamy be disobeys the mandates Of the
living God and is deprived Of ever
lasting or eternal life Every wife Of
Mormon must submit to the prae-
tice Of pOlygamy or plural marriages
or be damned forever
DIR. Palmer spoke Of the Mormon
control in Idaho and Utah and told Of
the political interference. Joseph
Smith, a polygamist apostle did bis
best to have the constitution of Idaho
in its parts referring to polygamy,
changed, declaring they were offensive
to the Mormon people. Apostle after
apostle has gone over the state Of
Idaho demanding that the Mormon
people vote according to the will Of
the church. The change Of venue bill
suggested By the supreme court Of
the state, together with the board Of
health bin we're crushed through Nor
mon influence.
