JtorxTAIX MEADOW MASSACRE. The Confession ot' John I). I,co-The Torrlble Story of tlio Slaughter of .Hen, Women nnd Children n?i Told by the l-eoder ol" the Mormon Party. " My name is John D. I<ce. I was bora ou September 0, 1812, at Knsknskia, Randolph county, 111. My mother belonged to the Catholic church and 1 was christened in the faith. My parents died while I was still n cliilil and my boyhood was cntt of trial and hardships. "I married Agatlic Ann Woolscy in 1833 and moved to Fayette county, 111., on Kii'-k creek, where i became wealthy. " In 183f> I became acquainted with some traveling Mormon preachers. 1 bought, rend and believed the book of Mormon. I sold my property in Illinois and moved to Fairwest, in Missouri, ill 1837. where I iohied tlir ?vfiirmnn church and became intimately acquainted with Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and other leaders of the ChtUvh of Jesus Christ of Latter Pay Saints. ****** u I was an honored man in the church, flattered and regarded by Brigham Young and the apostles until 1868, when 1 was cut off from the church and select* I'd as a scapegoat to suffer for and bear the sins of my people. " As a duty to myself and mankind I now confess all that I kno\v ?uul ail that I did at the "Mountain Meadow massacre, without animosity to any one, shielding none, giving facts as they existed. "Those with me on that occasion were acting under orders from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The horrid deeds then committed were done as a duty which we believed we owed to God and our church. 44 Wo were all sworn to secrecy before find alter the massacre. The penalty for giving information concerning the same was death. As T am to suffer death for what I then did and have been betrayed, both by those who gave me the orders to act and the most active of my assistants, I now give the world the true facts as they exist, and tell why the massacre kh:s committed and who were active partnipauts. The Mountain Meadow massacre was the result of the direct teachings ol Brigham Young, and it was done by the orders <>f thosu high in authority in the Mormon community. "The immediate orders for the massacre u,. n .1 ,1 rs T :?...... in.-'uvvi L/> lJiniU'il* :uit Colonel Isaac 0. Haight and tne council at Cedar City, Utah. <4I held 110 position either in the civil or fnilitary departments, or in the church at that time. " About September 7 I 'went to Cedar City, where I met Isaac C. Haight, president or governor of that State of Zion, and also lieutenant colonel of the Iron county Mormon militia. This was on a Sunday. Lieutenant Colonel Haight was the leader there in all things, civil, clerical and military. It was a crime punishable by death to disobey his orders. "Lieutenaut Colonel Haight gave me a full account of the immigrants who were coming. "We slept in the iron works all that night and arranged our plans. ' Lieutenant Colonel Haight said the immigrants were a rough set; that they were bad men, robbers and murderers, and had helped to kill the Mormon prophets. 1 believed him. " I was ordered to raise the Indians to attack the train and run off the cattle and to have the Indiuns kill tlie immigrants. I scut Curl Shirts,-ray son-inlaw, to raise the southern Indians for j the work. Nephi Johnson went toother tribes. "On Monday morning . left the iron works to obey my orders. Lieutenant j Colonel Haiglit said: ' We are acting ! by orders?it is all right. We will let ' the Indians bear all the blame.' " T said we are forbidden to shed inno- | cen blood. The reply of Haiglit was: 'There is not a drop of inuocent blood in the whole lot. Go, Brother Lee, and carry out the instructions of those in authority. If you are dutiful in this your reward shall be Rrent in the Kingdom of God, for God will bless those who obey counsel and make all things fit for the people of the Lord in their days.' " On my way home I passed many Indians out on the \* arpath. I promised to join them the next day. On Tuesday morning ine inuians attacked the truin, just at daylight, and killed seven and ( wonnded sixteen immigrants. rHie I?idiuns lost some of their warriois. The immigrants then fortilied their position, and the Indians surrounded them and j sent for me. "The -wholecountywasaroused, both whites aud Indians rushing to Mountain Meadow from all directions. "I arrived at the camp late 011 Tuesday afternoon and found the Indians in large force. They demanded that I should lead the attack. I refused until further orders were received from Haight or Dame. "I then went south ten miles and met some whites and Indians coming from that direction. I camped there that night and on Wednesday went to the Meadows and sent a man to Cedar City for further orders. "On Thursday the orders came by Major Higby. There were fifty-eight whites and about 500 Indians there. Then Major Higby made a speech and said that the immigrants were all to be killed who could talk ; that we must get them out of the fortifications by treachery. "T was to follow the flag of truce and mnlse a treaty with the besieged, and promise protection. I was also to get the arms of the immigrants and the sick and wounded, and also the children into wagons. Then the troops, under Major i Higby, would meet the immigrants. The Indians were to remain in ambush. * The women were to go ahead. The Indians were then kill the women. The militia were to kill the men, and I and the drivers of the wagons were to kill the wounded and sick that were in the wagons. "Several other men then made speeches. Then we had a prayer circle, and then more speeches were made, and it was agreed by all parties that it was the .Till of God for us to do as we were ordered. " On Friday morning the immigrants had a white flag flying, and the Mormon brethren again assembled. Speeches were made, and all expressed themselves as willing to act. "There were present fifty-four or fiftyeight whites and about 400 or 500 Indians. Higby addressed the party, saying that the immigrants must be put out of the way. , " The Hag of truce wits then sent forward. It was carried by William Batemaii. He was met half way by the immigrants, and they held a' parley with him. Batemau then returned and reported that the immigrants would surrender their arms and do as they had been requested. The Mormon soldiers then marched out to within 200 yards of the immigrants. They next took wagons and went to the camp and stated thenorders. "The immigrants then surrendered and put their arms, the sick and the wounded and the children into the wagons. While they were burying their dead men the immigrants burst into tears and said they , feared treachery. As soon as the wagons were loaded the train was started. The immigrants marched in single file, the women and large children being ahead; then the men came. "When the wagons were half a mile off the fire commenced. The Indians killed all the women and large children. The Mormons killed the men. The drivers with me killed the sick and the wounded. We saved seventeen of the children. The dead werg stripped and mutilated and the corpses left on the field. The Mormons camped on the field. The next day Lieutenant Colonel Haight, Colonel Dame and other leaders came over. j Filially tliey quarreled. Lieutem i Colonel Haight said to Colonel Dame: "' You ordered it, and, damn you, il I too latfl to go back !' ; ' 'Dame said he did jiot know there w< | so many of themv We buried the de and drove tlit cattle to the Iron Spriiij * * All the wagons and other propel were sold in Cedar City by the order the church authorities. All of these < ders were fully obeyed. Vhe horrors i I tending the massacre of the immigral were beyond my description. ! "The brethren were ngain sworn to f ; crecy. This wfts also done by order of t *! church, which was then nt war with t ! United States government-. i ' 'I went to Salt Luke City and made 1 I report to Brigliam Yonng ten days aft j the massacre. 1 told him all; everythi: ; ? who were there, who wK-e guilty a ! who were aetivp ill killing the imn j grants ; in fact, all I knew. I Haid | liim : ' You must sustain ns or relea ' us from the endowment oath to aveni ' the death of the prophets.' , "Brigham Young said : ' I will coi ! munioatewith God.' I went back i j next morning, when Young sal* ; ' Brother Lee, not a drop of innoce i blood has been shed. I have gone i God in prayer. God has shown me tli j it was u just act. The people did rigl but were only a little hasty. I have ? rect evidence from God that the act w a jnst one, that-it was in accord wi God's will. I sustain you nild tl brethren in nil that VoU did. All I fe ! is treachery on the part of the brethre ! Go home and tell the brethren I susta thoiu. Keep all secret as the grav Never tell any one, and write me a h ter lavinc all tiie blame on the Indian I I will then report to the United Stat : government that it was an Indian mass j ere.' "Briglnm Young was then and f : many years after fully satisfied with n and my act. He gave mo three wiv after that and appointed me proba judge of Washington county. ; "Nothing but cowardice has made hi desert me now. Fifty head of cattle we sold in Salt Lake City by the authority j for merchandise. The immigrants h:i 450, making 500 cattle in all. They la oniy a little money. When Craulebaup was judge in Utah and went to Mountu Meadow to investigate the massaor Brigham Young came with him ; he the knew all about the massacre and uplie the brethren. Tie preached at Cedi | City and said about the immigrant: ;' Do you know who they were? I wi tell you. They were the fathers, mot] ers, brothers, sisters, micles, aun^s ar children of the men who killed the sain I in Jackson county, and afterwards kille the prophet in Carthage jail. Their chi dren are in the poorhouse ; their rel; tives refuse them because they are tl children of thieves, outlaws and mil derers. I have been told there are mar brethren who are willing to inform c I those who did this thing. I hope thei is no truth in the rumor. I hope 1 such person lives. " ' If there is, I tell you what your fa i will be. Unless you repeut at onekeep secret all that you know and pr tect each other you will die a dog death. Yon will soon go to hell i damned, lost souls. Let me hear r more of treachery among my peopl Anyone who had proved traitor the; would have met the destroying angel ; once."'

This will take most of i the personal property out, of the city i limits, and so when the marshal proceed? j to levy on the city lie-will have to make a ' j return of non c*t. Baxter Springs, as n j city, will have gone where the woodbine | j twinetk in virgin luxuriance and settle i I there "to grow up with the country," I while its site shall nevermore be inhabited, but the wild beasts of tlje prairie j i shall lie there, and the house?, which j j have none to move them by reason of | j mortgages, shall be full of doleful crea- : I tures, and owls (which indeed abound on j the plains) shall dwell there, and the j Kansas equivalent of satyrs shall dauce ' there . , . The British Army. * ? > The effective strength of the British j army by arms on the first of December : last was 183,745, the average in 1875 being 184,609. The average during 1875 of the different branches of the service is as follows : Household cavalry, 1,282; cavalry of the line, 16,112; royal horse artillery, 5,520; royal artillery, 28,702; 1 1 ' ? k mn. 1c | I I'll y III CllJ^lLlCTCl'Dy U,UI|, ^uuiun, ; 5,550; infantry of the line, 115,257; co- i loninl corps, 2,298; ariny service corps, j 3,002; army hospital corps, 1,299. 'The ' effective strength on the iirst of January, I 1876, was 183,949. During the year 1875 j the army was thus distributed : Eng- t gland, 69,479; Scotland, 4,173; Ireland, j 23,541. The net lost from desertion was 2,429, or a percentage of twenty-four, j In 1874 the percentage was twenty-seven.

The oleum cocoa, or Cocoa nut Oil, pre- ! sentcd itself most strongly, as possessing many j properties peculiarly adapted for the purpose ; | out its odor was -objectionable, and its density j (except when exposed to heat) whined for | a long time to defy all efforts to render it avail- j able, for popular use, in cooler climates. By a j scientific selection of other ingredient*, those, j which will chemically combine with the oil i have been discovered, and they together have j produced a compound, which is unqualifiedly j pronounced to be the best that has yet appeared. , In the form presented, this oil is permanent- j lv deodorized, and held in a combination which peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; Burnett's j Cooaike is unrivaled in delicacy and agreea- j bleness?cooling in its nature?and possesses i such a penetrating affinity for the secretions of j tho skin, that it is rapidly absorbed. Its greatest efficacy is l>est secured by a perfect cleansing, before" its application, of "the uair i and scalp, under, which circumstances (hitf oil ; allays irritation, removes all tendency to ilandrvjt', and invigorates the action of tho eapil- J laries in the liighest degree. Its effect upon j the glossiness and richness of the hair is such as cannot bo surpassed ; and it is offered to the public in the firm belief that it only requires to ne known to supersede ail other preparations. We are confident that no one who will make a trial of its efficacy will bo willing to return i<> the use oJ any other preparation.
