The abolishment of the papacy will

OUR old and esteemed friend, Stephen

THE United Statos supreme court

TUB national soldiers' reunion, Juto

party, but should act independently
and vote for their own Interests only,
without regard to party platforms or
politic."
THE A. l A. Magazine promises to
b the success of the year in periodical
literature. Nothing like It has before
been attempted, and the average mortal
cannot but be surprised to see what an
immense amount of valuable matter has
been gathered together to Instruct and
delight all readers. It also gives up
considerable space to printing the most
venomous Catholic attacks on the A. P.
A.
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Daily Ncus
publishes thi Item, which needs no
comment to convince Americans that
something is radically wrong with our
naturalization laws:
Maurice O'Brien was granted natu
ralization papers. Although riot a citi
zen of the United States, O lirien has
been a member of the police force for
nearly ten years.
Mr. Isaiah Miller has filed a peti
tion with Judge Scott, of the district
court for Douglas county, Neb., pray-
lng for a writ of hato-ia corpus. The
writ is asked on the ground that his
two children are unlawfully restrained
of their liberty, and were placed in the
House of the Good Shepherd without
his consent, aid that they are compelled
to labor without receiving any compen
nation. The writ was placed in the
hands of the sheriff for execution, and
the hearing took place at 2 p. m. on
Thursday. Full particulars are given
In another column.
A despatch from Guatemala, dated
June 16, says: "The "efforts of the
Jesuits to entiench themselves in Mex
lco ate viewed with interest here. It
is lamented that public men generally
declare themselves atheists, agnostics,
or materialists. One journal says there
can be no hope of public morality and
reform as long as religion has no hold
upon the leading men. Mexico's toler-
ar.co of the Jesuits is explained here
on the theory that the government is
allowing the ruptue to grow and In
crease inside the Catholic church, as a
majority of the Mexicans is friendly to
the Franciscans and Carmelites, while
the wealthy minority favors the Jesu
its."
MILLER AND HIS CHILDREN.
ltalah Miller, hailing from Davrn
port, Iowa, applied yesterday to Judge
Scot: for a writ of habeas corpu for
the perm of hi daughter, Eva, acid
Ml, and Jewle, aged 1-. ill applica
tion for the writ state that the chil
dren were taken from him during lck
nr, by ponton to bliu unknown, and
placed ia the convent of theGood Shep
herd at South Omaha, and that when
he asked for them the mother superior
refuned to let thorn go. The defense
was that Mr. Hill, the police matron
of Davenport, left the children with
the institution on the representation
that they were hooieleM and friend
less When Miller apiurod and aked
for the children he had nothing to Iden
tify him a their parent, and, until he
could provo up, the Institution insisted
on holding the girls. Yesterday Miller
made hi claim clear, and tb chil
dren were turned over to him. World-
lli rall, June it.
For a downright untruth the above
certainly take the lead of anything we
have ever seen given out by the church
or her sycophants.
"When Miller appeared and asked
for hi children he had nothing to
Identify him a their parent." Could
not the children state whether the man
wa their frther? Doe the writer of
that item think the people of this com
munity are fools, and that they would
believe that a man having no claim to
two girls a old as Eva and Jersle Miller
could represent himself as their father
without being exposed as an Impostor?
Is it reasonable to think that a sane
man would appear before strangers and
represent himself, in the presence of a
girl as old as Eva Miller, as her father,
without he held such relationship?
The truth of the matter is, that Mr.
Miller, according to his statement to
us, called to see his children twice
The first time, be noticed they acted as
though something was wrong, and he
purposely disarranged his necktie in
order to give him an opportunity to
ask one of the girls to tie It for him.
As she tied his necktie she whispered:
"For God' sake, take us out of here!"
lie was startled by hor words, and
arose and remarked that he would go,
and take the children with him. This
privilege was denied him, and for sev
eral weeks ho planned to got possession
of his children. He made a second
visit to the Institution, took a witness
with him, and demanded his children.
Again he was refused, and, he says,
ordered away. When he threatened to
call the law to hi aid, the sister to
whom he was talking presumably the
superior told him that no policeman,
no Judge or court could take those chil
dren out of that home and out of her
custody. When Mr. Miller told us
what the old girl in black had said to
him, we agreed to help him get posses
sion of his children. The result is given
above.
Whenever Romanists declare that
our officers, our court) and our judges
cannot reach them, we feel like toaoh
lng them a mild lesson, and that is
why we assisted Mr. Miller in this In
stance. He was a total stranger to us,
was without friends and without money,
yet possessing, apparently, all the love
for his children that a father usually
possesses. He told us his story in an
unassuming way. There were no frills,
no coloring, but a lonely ploa for the
liberation of his loved ones, made by a
homely old man. He brought us let
tersone from a woman who, he said,
was his wife, in which was poured out
a woman1 anguish from a woman's
heart; lamenting that her daughters
were in a place which was spoken of so
unfavorably, and pleading with htm to
never rest until they were free. It was
a mother' plea! And 'gainst these
pleas man's heart can frame no reason
f jr refusal. So we secured the services
of Judge Covell and Hon. Philip Win
ter, who attended to the legal part, and
then went with him when he secured
his papers.
We do not know what treatment is
accorded the girls and young women
confined in the House of the Good
Shepherd at South Omaha, but pre
sume that it differs but little from that
undergone by inmates in similar insti
tutions. In fact, we have a letter from
a lxdy whose sister managed to escape
from the South Omaha institution,
which was cent to Mr. Miller's son in
Rock Island, 111., from a little town
in this state. We will publish the
letter, omitting only the name, so that
you may know what the ex inmates
think about the House of the Good
Shepherd:
Arlington, Neb., May 23, 1395.
Dear Sir: I take the liberty to write
to you and tell you the way your sister
Effie and the little one are treated In
the Good Shepherd Convent in South
Omaha, Neb. I would thank any one
who would do this for me. My sister
was there, and they asked her to write
and tell you about the institution, as
they said you would not let them stay
there. It is called a religious institu
tion, but all the religion there is is
dancing, to amuse the priests, Sundays
aod at any other time they come there.
As to learniog anything, why, they
don't try to teach any one anything.
They make your sister do the scrub
bing and dirty work, and then call
them beggars and ragbags, and such
like. I believe in working, but I don't
believe in making people work for noth
ing. They can both earn their own
living outside. Effie is a good worker.
My sister was very sorry for them.
You don't need to write to them, as it
will do no good, because, unless the
children write what they the "sisters"
tell them to write, the ler will not
mall the letters. Should any girl write
bow she I treated, ber letter will not
be mailed. My sinter wrote to me
twice, and tbey never sent tbe letter
it all; and I wrote to her, but they did
not give ber tbe letter, or even tell her
that I had written. Then my husband
went down to see her, and the Uter
were not even going to let him ee ber.
Tbey were going to make ber stay
whether she wanted to or not no mat
ter. But he told them be would not go
until he had een ber. So he was per
mitted to come home then. It doesn't
make any difference bow sick an in
mate may be, she ha to get up and go
to work. My sister was there two
weeks, and she never even Btepped on
to the ground in all that time. Tbe
girl are more closely confined than if
they were in tbe penitentiary. In a
a state's prison you can look for your
time to be up some day, but at the
Good Shepherd It' never out.
Now, please look after the children.
I know my brother would not leave me
there. They'll toll you the children
are getting along so nicely, and that it
would only bother them for you to see
them; but you will have to insist on
seeing them. Liberty is a great bless
ing. You don't know it till you get the
doors locked on you.
Well, I will close for this time. Hop
ing that everything will come out all
right, I remain, yours truly,
THE JUNIORS.
Tbe national council of tbe Jr. O. U.
A. M. convened in Omaha, Neb., in
annual session, Tuesday, June 18.
The report of the committee on cre
dentials showed more than 150 dele
gate present, who represent about 35
states.
Tbe first day of the session was taken
up by the report of the committee on
credentials and in the consideration of
the annual reports of the officers.
Tbe report of the national councilor
was quite lengthy, but was adopted
after a few minor changes had been
made and after the complaint of cer
tain Ohio and Pennsylvania councils
against the Pittsburg American had
been eliminated.
The contest for the offices, Tuesday
afternoon, was quite spirited. The re
sult was as follows:
National councilor C. W. Tyler, of
Richmond, Va.
Vice councilor P. A. Shanor, Pitts
burg, Pa.
Troasurer J. Adam Sohl, Maryland
Conductor Dr. J. L. Cooper, Fort
Worth, Texas.
Warden W. A. Howard, Lincoln,
Nob.
Sentinel (Inside) J. L. Ingram, St.
Louis.
Sentinel (outside) John W. Pettln
ger, Indiana.
Chaplaln-Dr. H. R. Llttlefleld, Port
land, Ore.
The next annual convention will be
held in Denver June 16.
Tuesday evening a reception was ten
dered tbe delegates at the Y, M. C. A.
Addrtsses were made by a number of
visiting brethren, by Rev. S. Wright
Butler, and other lesser lights, while
Clarence D. Elliott recited the German
version of "Barbara Fritchle." Mr.
Elliott's style so captivated tbe audi
ence that tbey insisted on encoring him
twice.
Wednesday morning was taken up
with reports, aod the afternoon in a
drive about the city, to South Omaha,
Fort Omaha, and Florence. At South
Omaha the delegates and their friends
visited Swift's great packing house,
and were shown through its various
departments. From there they drove
to Hanscom Park, then to Florence,
where they all inspected the magnifi
cent plant operated by the American
Waterworks Company. From Flor
ence they proceeded to Fort Omaha,
where they were treated to a fine band
concert and a dress parade by the
troops. One inspiring thing happened
at the fort. The color-bearer appeared
on the field, as the band began to play,
carrying a beautiful silken flag. As it
passed the first group of Juniors, every
one of them doffed his hat, and one of
them proposed three cheers for the
flag, which were given with a wilL
And as it was carried across the field,
its bright folds swelling on the breeze,
every head was bared, and cheer after
cheer rent the air.
Next morning the regular order of
business was taken up, and the morning
consumed with speech-making favor
able to and in opposition to the recom
mendation of the committee that a
widows' and orphans' home be estab
lished; but the opinion prevails that
the council will vote to sustain the
committee's report by a good round
majority. It is further believed that
Tiffin, Ohio, will secure the plum, It
having made a number of very favor
able offers of land and cash donations.
Besides, the state council of Ohio has
pledged over 115,000 toward building
the home if Tiffin is chosen.
The order will probably declare posi
tively what class of foreigners It believes
are inimical to our form of government,
and if it does there will be a lively dis
cussion, as there are some able men on
both sides of the question.
Thursday evening a banquet was
served the visiting brethren, their
wives and the friends of the order in
this city, by tbe local councils, which
was a most enjoyable affair.
Tbe banquet table were spread in
the Millard Hotel, and around tbem
gathered fully two hutdred persons,
who, from 9:30 Thursday evening until
1:30 Friday morning, enjoyed two feast
one of the material and substantial
tblng of life, the other of wit, humor,
pathos, and rea-ton.
Tbe first was set before tbe assem
bled guests, after Rev. H. II. Slaughter,
of Missouri, bad invoked the Divine
blessing.

A soon as all the courses had been
served, Mr. J. W. Hodder arose and
announced that, as he had already
taken a very prominent part In the
program, he would on this occasion call
upon a brother to act as toast-master
whose ability to serve in that capacity
had been demonstrated on former occa
sions. He would ask Bro. J. M. Glllan
to act as toast-master.
Mr. Glllan accepted the position in a
very neat speech, stating that none of
the speakers had been assigned sub
jects, and each one would speak upon
whatever was nearest and dearest to
his heart.
The following gentlemen were then
called upon for a speech, and ail re
sponded in a most happy aud appropri
ate manner:
J. G. A. RIchtor, of Ohio; C. W.
Tyler, of Virginia; Edward S. Doemer,
of Pennsylvania; Rev. J. Morgan Reed,
of New Jersey; G. M. Cone, of Oregon;
Perry A. Schanor, of Pennsylvania;
F. W. Alexander, of Rhode Island;
F. L. Armstrong and W. C. Kerr, of
Pennsylvania; Rev. J. R. Boblitz, of
Maryland, and Rev. S. Wright Lutler,
of Omaha.
Most of the business of the order had
been transacted by Thursday afternoon.
The next convention of the National
Council will be held at Denver on June
16, 1896.
THE KANSAS CITY TIMES.
In an article purporting to be a re
port of the trial of Jorry Pate, S. A.
Pike, Charles Binney and E. T. Cole
man, at Liberty, Mo., charged with
the murder of Mike Callahan in the
Fifth ward election riot, April 3, 1894,
the 2 tines states several malicious lies
of a political formation. A statement
In the head-lines reads as follows:
"Evidence showed that Coleman killed
Mike Callahan." This statement the
Times can not prove, and in itself is a
dastardly attack upon a man who we
are convinced has more principle than
many ptople who would omit such parts
of a trial, In reporting it, that it would
imply a wrong sentiment. The article
further states that "three witnesses
swore that they saw Coleman fire the
shot that It Is alk-gt d killed Callahan. "
Does the Times have the ability to put
evidence together? If a witness swore
that Coleman was standing against a
telegraph or telephone pole when he
was said to have fired the shot, and
also that others testified that Callahan
was surrounded by a mob near Pate, at
some distance from Coleman, and that
Callahan was shot in the back of the
bead, the ball taking a direction up
ward, so that the shot must have been
fired from a low point, would the Times
say that it was conclusive evidence that
Coleman shot Callahan? This isa part
of the evidence which the Times decides
emphatic! The article of itself is about
as fit for publication as the noted
acrostio which the Times flaunted some
time past.
If the Times is making buncomb by
denouncing Prosecuting Attorney Jam
ison, it will do well to delve lightly
into matters, aod to support measures
which have caused the persecution of
men who wero in court proved sworn
officers of the law, as was the case of
those Americans mentioned above.
The Times further slanderously
bounces upon the jury selected, and
should be denounced for such an attack.
It would appear from the tone of the
article, and the following paragraph,
that the Times would desire tbe people
to believe, that tbe jury had is been
"stacked." It reads: "It was openly
talked about Liberty tonight that a ma
jority of the jury belonged to the A. P.
A., or, if not that organization, at least to
the Junior Order of United American
Mechanics," etc. We are of the opin
ion, from personal observation, that if
there was ever an honestly selected
jury, the thirty men who were chosen
to select from would prove a halo and
the Times a slough when compared. If
the jury, by deciding according to the
law and the evidence In the case, de
cided by evidence produced by the
prosecution, with none from the de
fense, that Mr. Pate was innocent, it
shows well that the testimony was cer
tainly in favor of all tbe accused, even
when brought by the prosecution. And
here we will state that these witnesses
for the prosecution were partly of the
gang to which Callahan belonged
(namely, of the "Jim Pryor"), and were
presumably of ex-Prosecuting Attorney
Brown' selection. A an organ for tbe
fang, the limes has dona nicely In thi
mentioned article of Thursday, June
13, 1395.
The editor of this paper believe tbe
oppotililon to Henry Hollo can be traced
to Rome; because he has beard it said
that a demand wa made upon Bolln by
certain people favorable to the church
of Rome for the discharge of Jerome
Coutler, one of hi employe, who had
the misfortune to marry a Roman Cath
olic, and such a one as Is said to have
made life a hell on earth for him for
years, and from whom he finally, accord
ing to a daily paper, separated. While
we believe Hjnry Bolln honest and effi
cient, we believe be has allowed bis
worst enemies to smirch his fair name
by associating with them. A man can;
not be a friend of Edward Rosewater
unless Edward Rosewater can use him,
a tbing which Henry Bolln has now
found out. We sympathize with Bolln
in his present unfortunate position.
However, he has no one to blame but
himself. Had he been true to himself,
to his family, to his friends and to the
principles of the men who elected him,
be would stand before the people of this
city without this suspicion of wrong
doing, which has been pushed along by
the men who are planning to array the
native citizen against those who have
been naturalized, in the coming cam
paign, with Rosewater a foreigner
howling against tbe foreign-born nomi
nees on the Republican ticket.
OUR friend Harry McGrew tells some
of his friends that he tbluks Mr. Rose-
water made a point against the A. P.
A. when the school board re employed
Miss Arnold as superintendent of music,
and that the men who looked with little
favor on his citizens' movement before
the board took that action are now in
clined to think that he can kill the A.
P. A. this fall. We think Mr. McGrew
is in error. Had the A. P. A. gone
after Miss Arnold, they would have
got her, as a large majority of the
board are in line with the principles
of the A. P. A., and Mr. Rosewater,
Roman Catholic Count Creighton nor
the pope could have kept her in her
position. The A. P. A. is not afraid of
Mr. Rosewater. It invites him to the
fray. And if he is never heard of in
Nebraska politics afterward, let the
epitaph above his political tomb be:
"EDWARD KOSEWATER,
DIED FROM OVER-INFLATION." :
ON Sunday evening, June 30ih, Rev.
John Qulncy Adams Henry, of tbe La
Salle Avenue Baptist Church, will
preach a patriotic sermon on "Old
Glory; or, Tbe Flag of Freedom." All
patriotic friends are cordially invited
to attend this service. The Gohmer
Quartet will furnish appropriate music.
The cases which were instigated by
the tools of Rome against the Ameri
cans have passed from the courts. The
boys were cleared by the tangled evi
dence produced and intended to help
Rome prosecute them. One more vic
tory has been scored for America.
Will Be Doubly Married.
Marriage License Clerk Salmonson,
at Chicago, was much astonished re
cently when he found himself suddenly
called upon to issue two licenses to the
same contracting parties. A man who
gave the name of Thomas Clarlsey came
into the office and in the ordinary way
said he wished to be married and that
the girl's name was Maria Mahood.
Clerk Salmonson was preparing to
make out the required document, when
ClarUey announced that one license
would not be enough. He explained
that he and his prospective bride were
of different religious faiths, be being a
Protestant and Miss Mabel Mahood a
Roman Catholic, and that in order to
satisfy the old folks, who instilled the
diverse views Into their minds, it was
necessary to have two ceremonies per
formed. At first it wa3 agreed, he
said, to have a Catbolic priest marry
them and afterward repair to a i Prot
estant clergyman, procuring but one
license, as the second ceremony would
be purely formal, anyway. But Clarl
sey's own people would have none of it,
declaring that the priestly marriage
would not be valid. So, to settle the
matter, he finally consented to apply
for the two licenses and be doubly mar
ried. The contracting parties are each
24 years old, and live on the South
Side, near Thirty-eighth street. This
is the first time in six years and the
third time in thirteen years that such
a thing as the issuance of two licenses
to the same parties has occurred.
. How Rome Loves Protestants.
The San Francisco Catholic Monitor
says:
"Even to the present day this office
gets offers of the A. P. A. secrets from
ministers who have worked themselves
into high positions in the lodges. We
may state, however, that we never ac
cepted them. We wouldn't believe a
preacher on oath."
Our Sentiment.
"How dear to our hearts is the old
silver dollar, when some kind subscriber
presents it to view; the liberty head
without necktie or collar, and all the
strange things that to us seem so new;
the wide-spreading eagle, the arrows
below it, the stars and the words with
the strange things they tell, the coin
of my fathers, we're glad that we know
it, for some linn or other 'twill come
in right well the spread-eagle dollar,
tbe star spangled dollar, the old silver
dollar that we all love so well."

More Pleasure.
San Francisco, June 17. Editor
Tbe American: Since the "wolves in
sheep's clothing" have bjen .partially
weedel out of the American Protective
Association, the Knights of Pythias,
the Loyal Orange Institution, the Odd
Fellows, and kindred societies, there i
more pleasure in being connected with
tbem, as peace and harmony now pre
vail. Whenever you find a lodge or
society among Protestants that is noted
for quarreling, you can almost invari
ably be assured that tbey bave at least
one Roman among them. If the self
styled infallible dago Pope of Rome
would order all of his slaves, whom he
calls "My people in America," to leave
our tv.-neflclal societies (including the
almshouses), it would be a happy day
for true Americans. The course usu
ally pursued by the tools of the pope,
after entering a beneficial society, is to
feign sickness for the purpose of secur
ing benefits; and if the society to which
they belong should be so unfortunate
as to have their funds used up, then
these hypocrites, who have been cared
for by that lodge, contrive to start a
quarrel among the members, and, if
possible, burst the lodge. Tbey always
make it a point to draw out of the lodge
more money than they pay In. An
other point they do not fall tojmake is:
They use the generons and kind-hearted
members of tbe order to secure for
themselves paying positions (political
places, if possible), and after they have
accumulated all the wealth possible to
be gained by using the society, and when
they are tottering with age, they with
draw, renounce the order or society,
hire a pew in the Roman Catholic
church and put themselves in standing.
Thus you see that the only object
they have in uniting with beneficial
societies is for speculative purposes to
enrich themselves and to fill the coffers
of the Roman Catholic church. They
have no will of their own: they are
peons, and are controlled laltogether by
the hierarchy. These are facts which
can be proved by hundreds of thousands
of Protestant fraters, who have wit
nessed such things time after time. It
is an old story. There is no way by
which a Roman can inflict greater in
jury upon a Protestant order i than to
place one of his own kind - on the roll,
particularly dagos and bogtrotters, who
are full of deceit and treachery. From
what these societies have experienced
in the past by admitting these swinish
Roman Catholics, and having obeen
badly stung by the scorpions, it -ought
to impress upon our minds the absolute
necessity of blackballing everyjRoman
Catbolic applicant for memtbership in
any order with which we affiliate.
Heretofore, these maggots, representa
tives of the "Engineer Cjrps of Hell,"
could be found in every Protestant so
ciety, but, thanks to thej American
Protective Association, they are being
rapidly driven out, and for this future
generations will be thankful.
