NW the shot tlivd she called to lUttie
Dil, that he "nwwil she could get
Mime rt now, a there wan a fellow
over in (he weed who had tiled a shut
and she gocow'd he wan shiHitiiig at the
logs." Ilattle Ihtvln swears she
heard her say something alsmt a shut
having been fired. Miss Allen swears
that Mayor Miller wan in front of lott
Hcott'a honw', the day be was found In
the weeds with a bullet In his head, and
that he was accompanied by I tori In and
a tall, slim man In light clothen after
ward Identified as II live. Miss Scott
swears to the saiuo thing, K. O. May-
field swear Mix Allen told him the
siuno night that Miller was found that
ho had been there that day In company
with two men. I le also swear ho canto
from Houth Omaha on tho ftotl 4th of
October with Merlin and Luto I (lunch-
aid as early as 11:15 In tho morning.
Mr. Maylleld ha churgo of tho South
Omaha departmentof the World Jlmild
and hi building Inspector, wbllo Mr,
Ulunehard Is connected with a bank.
Their word, without an oath, In good,
yet In tho f nee of this evidence (which
Mr. Mahoney did not Introduce when
lluyesand Htilln wore on trial) Mr.
Hurl Ill's friends proved that bo was In
Houth Omaha at a time when It would
seem ItniHinslblu for him to huvo
been there- even If ho had jumped off
the train ho came irlh on and took
another Iwuded south without tho loss
of a single minute,
Ho much for Miss Allen's part of tho
story. Now let un go a llttlo dooor,
Tlio question as to whether or not there
were powder murks upon his head or
fueo was a mooted one. Even doctors
who examined tho wound wore not a
un'.l on that point, and MIhs Km to I i, tho
bond nurse at tho hospital, who Is ac-
uni.jmi'il to all' kinds of wounds, did
not " Bnv wiwder murk. Hho also
nworo that ho examined' tho effects,
bsik them from hi pickets, placed
them In a bug and gave them to thu
matron, Mis I'f rimer, to put away.
That she did not iwoan Indelible jsmcll
among tho things, and that sboremcm
bored thinking when Mr. Walters found
tho note among Mr. Miller' effects,
which had been written with anlndelll-
blo pencil, THAT THE WKITINO AND
THE f'KNCIfj HID NOT (XUtHICHI'OND,
That thu jNtncIl sho found wan a corn
rnon Mark one,
Then then: wan conflicting testimony
an to whether or not the note was in
Miller's ' handwriting, Messrs, Hud
borough, Steiiliiusand Havugo suld it
wan. Mr. Miller said It was not, and
thero aro plenty of ex Kirts who would
swear tho same way.
And so It gist all through tho case,
Men who did all In their power to de
feat Miller for mayor, to break down or
retard the work ortbo A, 1'. A., now
Isib up as bii most trusted friends, and
cast a stain ufsm bin name, while bis
real friends sit Idly by and do nothing
to counteract their lnlluenoo.
I he woman who swears sho saw a
shot fired near where Miller was found
Is arrested for perjury, thrown Into jail
and bound over on tho sumo kind of
testimony that Mr, Mahoney would not
"priHs-.cute the meanest dog ever thrown
Into tho Missouri river by Count I'u
laskl." Verily, somu official and
gomblers aro paragon of virtue,
while a woman outside tho palo of tho
Itornan church who testified against t
IComanlst 1 a being beneath their emi'
tempt! Vo Oisls! and thl Is America?
THE I' LIGHT OF UOMANlSM.
Itomanlstn never was, In thlsoountry,
so near tho verge of a revolution against
papal authority and tho Intermedllng
of foreign ecclesiastical dcNpol, as It In
today. On overy band you see priests
defying their bluhotm, binhops their
archbishops and tho latter tho jsip'u
representative In America, This d Is-
Integration extend even farther. It
takes In tho laity. Among them church
lawn, in omo Instances, Is hsiked iixm
as despotic and tyrannical and they
Ignoro It In every essential and mater
ial wilnt, until In their caw, It becomes
lnoiM:rative, If not altogether null and
void.
There Is a notable example of this In
thin city. One of the leading contract
or In a member of tho I toman church
Ho ha persisted In sending hi child
ren to the public schools although there
was a parochial school Just across tho
street from whero bo lived. Against

AS TO LEGISLATION
It Is riot within tho province of this
puM!r to attempt to Instruct tho gentle
men, who will sit In tho present legis
lative balls as luw makers, us to what
Is expected of them. We believe they
aro all capable of performing their
duties, und honest enough to do the
work they wore elected to do. Those
elected from this county we know to bo
of that strls!, and they realize that fu
ture proferment depends altogether
upon their ofllelul uct during the next
elghty-flvo days. And, knowing this,
they will Is) very careful what bills
they put their seul of approval up n.
Homo bill of vust lmsrtunoo will bo
up for consideration, while, at tho same
tlmo.thero will bo an unlimited num
ber that will not be worth tha paper on
which they aro written. Among tHo
former will bo one changing tho quali
fications of electors and one taxing un
improved church projMirty, private
schools, seminaries, college and ceme
teries. There will also Is) two or throe
institutional amendment. One will
create tho office of state printer, an
other will require elector to I) able to
rcud tho Kngllsh language, und an
other will provide for a state bourd of
churltie and correction. We have our
own Ideas a to what should be done
with all theso bills, but until we see a
disposition on the part of member of
the legislature to Ignore tho wishes of
their constituents we shall hold our
peace.
WIIRHE OMAHA PEOPLE STOP.
We wero down to Lincoln Tuesday to
see the Independent organize the legis
lature, While there wo stopped at the
Llndel hotel. This hotel seems to
have taken the place of tho old Capitol
a headquarter for political parties.
We met there Mr, I'orter, the leader
of the lndccridontn In the house; Mr,
Caspar, the louder of tho democratic
host in tho house, V. O, Htrlckler,
I'aul VanDorVoort, Ernest Htuht,
Henry Knodell, Kos Hammond and
about one hundred other well-known
politicians. You cannot find a better
hotel in Lincoln than tho Llndel,
No little sensation has been excited
among American Catholic by tho pres
ence of an Italian prelate, a Monslgnor
Hatolll who appear a the papal repre
sontatlvn with full jsiwer to represent
tho pope and to decide all question be
yond appeal. They have not taken very
kindly to tho fact that an Italian Is thu
exalted over such great American dig
nitaries a Cardinal Gibbon and the
distinguished archbishops. Why
should they complain? The Catholic
church I ruled by Italluns, Four-fifth
of tho cardinals and all tho popes for
centuries huvo boon of that race. What
worse 1 It to Iks ruled by an Italian In
America than by an Italian four thou
sand mile away? This Italian legute
hits been kind enough to proposu a plan
for the settlem.int of tho public school
question. He Is In favor of tho public
schools, but usk that certain hour be
set apart to Uuch Catholic pupils re
llglon. In other words he would kindly
encourage oubllo schools on, condition
that they aro turned over to tho Cath
olics. Children aro kept In tho schools
not more than six hour a day for five
day In the week. Let Hatolll use the
remaining eighteen hour of the five
day and tho entire Saturduy and Hun
day as he will, but let him keep his
Jesuitical bands ofT our public school
system. Ulirixtian Emngtiint.

where harness, sitddles and collars aro

seventy-five men, Tho company' store

they having recently removed there.
The relations between them and their
employe huvo alwuy been pleasant
and agreeable, and tho event of yoster
day brought them In closer touch with
each other.
Laid to Rest.
Last Wednesduy morning the grim
reajsT visited the homo of our friend,
John Yerak, and cut off In tho bright
bloaiiom of womanhood his oldest
daughter, llurbura. Miss Yerak bud
boon afflicted but a few duys when the
summons cume. Hho was up und about
New Years duy, but that evening took
to her bod from which sho never stirred
until death relieved her from her
suffering. Just a few minutes tsiforu
the summons came she sang a hymn,
"Jesus, Lover of my Soul," and us the
luse note diedawuy, the anxious futher,
who was watching by her bedside,
culled her name, her eyes slowly opened,
he slipped his hund beneath the pillow
to raise her head, and as he was In tho
actof placing her In a more comfortable
position, her spirit took its flight.
Mis Yerak was organist In the Bo
hemian Presbyterian church. She
also taught a clans of young children
tho beauties of the Protestant religion
In -he same church and was universally
esteemed and respected by all who knew
her. The funerul services were held

American Dear Sir: Observing that
you have offered a column of your valu
able paper to bo devoted to the "Junior
Order," I thought I might be able to
contribute a few words which might bo
of interest to tho "boys." We all love
to havo homo spoken of, wo love to hoar
reminiscences of our childhood duys,
and how pleasant It 1 to pick up your
valuable paper and see on its pages ac
counts of our loved order. Tho two
are similar and are both looked upon
a sacred. Understand me, I am not
trying to impress yourreudors with my
eloquence or jouruulistie power, but
desire only to have tho objects of our
order explained to tho world rightly.
Now it has been suld by good foreigner
that wo are a Knownothlng organiza
tion, when in truth we welcome to our
shores all who will become true Amurl
cuns, Lot some boy (born of natural
ized parents, whose age will admit him)
enter our portals and tho scales will fall
from hlseyes and tho noonduy sun will
Ijo dimmed by the brilliant orbs of truth
taught In our council chambers,
Neither uro we u political organization,
nor are we bunded together for tho
purpose of supporting and pluclng In
olllco Amorlcun-born men; but let mo
ussuro you, friends, that wo will veto
for a man (Imrn whore ho may be) who
hit shown that the olllco sought him
and that he did not suit thu office.
By that you can see that our creed Is
principle not men. Wo wunt topluee
men in public olllco who can bo trusted,
men of one desire, one object, and that
is tho establishment of truo American
principle of which our pupllc schools
Is tho chief, and havo men, who after
election will bo men of worth, who will
not try to toto to our enemies and for
get the devotion of the friends who put
them in their exulted jxisltlon. We
wunt tho system of voting changed so
thut every ono can have equal show
and rights. Another object Is to edu
cate Uioho who come to our bind to bo
luw abiding citizens, who will not level
our flag, our institutions nor our laws
"Come ye of overy nation, come to
America, the lund of the free," but
leuvo your old habits behind you when
you sweur to obey our laws und cus
toms, and tho members of the Jr. O. U.
A. M. will bo the first to welcome you
here to this free lund. But bring your
foreign customs here and see how
quickly will spring up hundreds, yes,
thousunds who will suy "hand off," go
buck from whence you cume, and leuvo
us alone with our sacred rights and
principles! Truly yours, E.G.

Stay! Ijet us quote the s.Rgc:
"Everything was soon deeldid on.
The great bid I of St. Gcrmoin de l'
Auxerrols, which was used only on
public rejoicings, was to give the lg
ual at the first dawn of day. Instantly ,
torches were to be put In the windows
and chain plucixl across the streets;
soldiers wero to be stationed In the
open places, and for the sake of dis
tinction thev were to wear a piece of
white linen on their left arms, and tt
white cross on their huts. The Duko of
Guise was to begin the work of destruc
tion by despatching the admiral at the
first stroke of the bell."
Tho Protestants of that duy needed
no arguments to convince them that
tho Roman church is tho Satan of the
Crow of Christ, and the crucifix is -no
other than the bestial mark.
"And I saw thrones, and they sat up
ou them, and judgment was given unto
them; and I saw tho souls of them that
wero beheaded for the witness of Jesus
and for the word of God, and which
hud not worshippod tho beast, neither
his murk upon their foreheads, or in
hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand yours." Hov. 20: 4.
QUESTION DRAWER.
T. V. You want us to start a daily?
You would subscrlbo and pay a year in
udvance, and bo satisfied with a paper
half the size The American Is today?
You say you would, but would you?
To answer your questions in the regu
lar old stylo Yankee fushlon. ,JIow
long would you bo satisfied? We will
tell you until the novelty of tWj thing
wore oft,-prtftnK?iHntht(ir
you would quit (i and fly back to the
old dallies. We were almost born,
reared and educated In a ."urlntshop,"
and think we know what tho public
want It wants the best, and we
couldn't give It the best when it carne to
issuclng a dally. We havo not the
funds, to say nothing about the ques
tion of ability. But, the time may
come when we can place tho most com
plete dally In the west on the market,
and when It does tho first thing tho
public will know of The American
being turned into a dally will bo when
the newsboys cry "Here' yer dally
'Merlcan.'" The American could be
a dally tomorrow were It possible to find
100 men who would each buck an Amer
ican dally newspaper to tho amount of
$1000 at 5 per cent, per annum. And It
would be a success.

Friend Thomi'Hon: Will you bo kind
enough to answer through your query
columns, the date of tho "Feast of
Ignatius Loyola." You sco I want to
know this beoauso I happen to havo an
old gun, which needs a llttlo cleaning,
and I would like to get this done before
tho above date rolls around. It may
soom a llttlo strange, but for ono I do
not care to bo exterminated or wiped
out just yet, and I want to suy that If
necessary my old gun and I will bo In
lino when the extermination Is going
on, Fohkiqn Born,
Huilller' Cutholle Directory, Alma
nue, and Ordo, for 18111, gives tho date
of tho Feast of Ignatius JiOyola us July
81. Tho time between thatand tho 5th of
Heptejnbor Is computed as sufficient for
tho extermination of all men opposed
to Komanlsm. Ho careful when your
doorbell ring after July 30. Tho slaugh
ter of St. Bartholomew may be rerout
ed. Protestants should lie on their
guard.
