DUBOIS ON MORMONlSM,

~>S~
United States Senator Fred T. Du.
bOis of Utah, on MormOnism, de.
livered yesterday at Sharpsburg,
ILL.,, q comprehensive review Of
which appears in this issue of the
State Register, one is Immediately
impressed with the magnitude oil
MOrmonism rs an issue. It is an
issue and it cannot be lodged. The
Smoot case and the outrage of per.
hitting him to remain in the
United States senate should and
will be kept before the eyes of the
public, and those responsible for
this wrong held to account for the
offense.
Senator Fred Dubois has lived
among the Mormons for twenty.
seven years. He is an authority.
His former home was in this city.
He is a man of brilliant intellect
and a splendid represen tative Of
the people. We people of central
Illinois should have an especial in
terest in what Senator Dubois hat
to say on these vital questions,
His address yesterday submits prool
OF polygamy, asserts that United
States Senator Reed SmoOt wal
and is "the apostle Of polygamy,''
and yet the republican United
States senate refused to unseat him
after an investigation that revealed
the truth. Nine republican sen.
atOrs voted to unseat SmoOt. Sen
ator Dubois gives their names. II
is significant that the Illinois sen.
ators are not in that list.
United States Senator Hopkins
of Illinois led the fight for Smoo,
and, as Senator Dubois declares
"made q speech in defense OF poly
gamous living and compared the
Mormon organization to the Chris.
tian denominations"
Senator Hopkins, who is now
seeking to be returned to thu
United States senate, is the same
Senator Hopkins who so contempt.
uously threw aside the petition,
from the people and who ignored
public opinion entirely and upheld
Smoot.
Most Of us are inclined to mini.
mize the Importance OF Mormonism
as an iseue. 1t requires only q
tndv OF facts such as those pre-.
scented in Senator Dubois address
to convince one OF the magnitude
Of the menace of Mormonism and
the disgrace and outrage Of poly.
gamy. Senator Shoots connection
with the crafty leaders of that
organization renders him unfit tC
occupy u seat in the United States
senate, and Illinois should no,
hesitate to rebuke Senator Hopkins
who stood with Smoot and Tough,
with Smoot when the people de.
manded he be unseated.-Illinois

WOMEN HELD

WIFE AND DAUGHTER OF JAMES
BRUCE CHARGED WITH ADJ
MINISTERING POISON.
Cherry Pie of Which He Ate While
at Work and Died in Great Agony
Contents of Stomach Analysed
by State Chemist Here.

Several weeks ago.th stomach of a
man namd James Bruce was sent to
the state chemist, Prof. II. G. Knight,
at the university here, to be examined
for poison. The man had died under
somewhat peculiar circumstances, and
the officials of Uinta county were led
to suspicion foul play. The sheriff who
sem the parts to be examined asked
that the matter be kept quiet here,
in the hope of preventing embarrass-
ment if the mans death was found to
have been by natural processes. The
report of the state chemist was made
to the sheriff and the arrest of the
wife and daughter of the dead man
follows. The following newspaper spe-
cial from Evanston is in relation to
this case:
Held to District Court.

legged killing of their husband and
father, James Bruce of Bruce, this
county, who died from strychnine poi
soning. Bruce was a leading Mormon
and had just returned from a mission
airy trip. He went into the field to
work and carried a lunch prepared by
his wife and daughter.
Poison in Cherry Pie.
Among other things was a cherry
pie, and the authorities claim that
enough ~strychnine had been baked
into this pie to kill the entire COM
munity. Bruce ate a piece of the pie
and was seized with commissions. He
realized the nature of the poison and
told his son to summon aid. He died
in great agony. Domestic difficulties
are alleged to supply the motive.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat,
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu'
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca,
tarrh Cure, manufactured by +. J
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a te%aspoonful. II
