Affiant further says that this appli cation for continuance is not made for vexation or delay, but that he may have the benefit of said testimony, and that substantial justice may be done between the parties to this action; and affiant further says that this delay in the premises has not been made neces sary through any act or negligence on his part since the information In this case was filed, and affiant further states that the said William H.

One of the fiercest legal contests ever tried in the Grundy county circuit court was ended this morning after a nine days' trial in the returning of a verdict setting aside the will of the late Mary Kennedy, which bequeathed to Father Meehan of the Morris Catholic Church, as a citi zen, her entire estate, worth $30,000, A year ago William Kennedy died leaving his wife, Mary Kennedy, all his property. Father Meehan, who had been little concerned with the Ken nedys theretofore, according to the evi dence, hastened with his attorney, John F. Golden, to make sympathetic visits to the widow's home in the coun try, wbich resulted in her decision to leave her property for charitable pur poses. She was an invalid, not con sidered able to do ordinary business, and was bedridden. She followed her husband to the grave shortly after his death. It transpired that Meehan per sonally was her sole legatee. No sooner was the matter made public than her legal heirs, William Hennessy and oth era, set about to contest the will. Dr H. M. Robinson, a witness, gave most damaging testimony against the priest in swearing that Attorney Golden rep resented to the sick woman while read ing her the will that It contained the words "For charitable purposes." This was evidently her desire, and she signed the will with this understanding, but it did not so appear In probate court. Undue influence of the priest was charged and the will was broken. Since the Maxwell murder case, years ago, there has not been such an exciting trial here. Where the Mistake Was Made.

Martin While, late chief of police of Oniah returned t Chlego yesterday. While was recently removed from hi position by the board of public commissioners appointed by the board organized un der a recent act of the Nebraska legis lature, and af!er a bitter fljjht the ac tion wa sustained by the tupreme court. Mr. White 1 ok none the worse for the troublesome time through which he pasted during hi short t Tin of office in the western city, and, on the whole, has nothing but k'.nd word to say of the citizen of Omaha. 'Tlie majority of the people at Omaha," said Mr. White last night, ' are a very pleasant lot, and the bust ness men are exceptionally good men They were all extremely kind to me and found no fault with my work while I was there. I entered on the'dutlcs as chief of police on June 23, taking c large from Captain Mostyn, who had been acting chief. It was not through any fault of bis that I found the police department, when I took hold, in a thoroughly disorganized state and com pletely controlled by the A. P. A. I informed the members of the force when I assumed command that religion and politics would be dispensed with, that I wished them to attend strictly to po lice business, and any officer found agl tating obnoxious questions would be dropped from the force. The warning seemed to have little or co effect on the A. P. A. members, as they continued discussing the old question, and there fore I discharged a good many of them "The majority of the better people in Omaha seem very much displeased with the recent verdict of the supreme court, and a great many of them have asked me to return and take up my resi dence at Omaha. The new board took hold on the morning of September 17, about 11 o'c'ock, and they discharged me at 2 o'clock, together with four ser geants. Captain Mostyn resigned, and gave as his reai-on that he did so to pro tect his character and reputation us a police officer. "Some time in August I was given to understand that if I would recognize the new board I would probably remain as chief and that my two years' contract would be recognized. I told the com mittee which made the suggestion that I would not do this on account of the decision rendered by Judge Hopewell, and because I did not intend to attempt to decide the technical question of law involved in the case. Nearly all the men discharged by the new board are Roman Catholics. There is no chlof at present, but there seems a likelihood that ex-Chief Seavey may be appointed "I have not made up my mind whether I shall go back to Omaha or not. Of course, I am going to fight for the observance of my two years' con tract. I believe at the election In No vember the A. P. A. will be defeated, but that will not affect the police board. which muBt be reorganized by the leg islature before anything can be done, 1 have a farm pear Chicago and an in terest in a business In the city, and may stay here instead of going bask to Omaha." What is l'opery I This Is a question which the Ameri can people should continue to ask till this nation and the world know the the true answer. The true answer ac cepted by the nations seals the doom of popery. What continues Its exist ence and vitality is the ignorance of the people, the depravity of hum as na ture and the consummate deceit and corruption of a tyrannical hierarchy, "even him whose coming is after the working of satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousnes in tbem that perish; because they re ceived not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong de lusion that they should believe a lie; that they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." II Thess., 11,9-12. 'Deceiving and being deceived," the deceiver and his victim perish to gether. Depraved nature wants to be deceived in religion, and will believe the lie in the face of all evidence and argument against it. This isone thing that gives false doctrines such a foot hold in the churches. If all men loved the truth and would accept it when presented, the conversion of the world would be easy, but a world alienated in their hearts from God "wonder after the beast," believe satan's lie and reject the truth. What is popery? The an swer Is always at hand. The Bible and the history of the Romish church give a clear answer to the question. Let any man of ordinary mind consult the Scriptures and read the history of Rome from 600 down to 1895, and he will know just what popery is, and what It will be till it is consumed by the judgments of a righteous God. The closing words of the encyclical letter of Pope Pius IX, "given at Rome on the 9',h day of November, 1846, in the first year of our pontificate," is a very good answer to the question as to what popery is in religious worship. His tory tells all about the tyranny, perse cution and bloody career of the harlot. He says: "And that the most merciful V.UU may more reauuy near our prayer and grant our desires, let u have recourse to the Intercession of the mot Holy Mother of God, the Imiuacu late Virgin Mary, our most weet mother, our mediatrix, our advocate. our firmest boe, the source or our con fidence, and whose protection i moat powerful and mol efficacious with God. Lt u invoke a!o the prince of the aKile, to whom Christ gave the key of the Kingdon of Heaven, whom he chose for the f jundatl m of hi church, against which the gale of hell thall never prevail; aud hi co-aHtlo Paul, and all the saints of heaven, who, already crowned, pos-ess the palm, that they may shed down upon all Christian people the treasure of Divine mercy." American, 1 that Christianity f Did Jesus Christ teach hi disciple to practice uoh a damnable system of Idolatrous worship? I a covenant God in Christ unwilling to hear tho cries of bis children? Will He who "so loved the world that he gave Ills only bo gotten Son," that He might answer the cries of the perishing, close HI ear to the cry of a poor sinner calling for mercy? I there no way to this gra cious God but through petition to a thousand human mediators, and some of whom are of doubtful character, and all of whom are dead and gone to the Invisible world? Where is Christ, the great "nigh Priest and Apostle of our profession," that even popes have to pray to dead men? Does not this popish worship depose Christ from his place as the only mediator? Is he not able to plead the cause of those who call upon him. Is not this Romish worship an awful caricature of the Christian religion? What! Popes the successors of St. Peter! Did Peter an swer the cry of tho perishing, "What shall I do to be saved?" by directing the sinner to pray to dead men to in tercede for htm? What do dead men know about prayers on earth ad dressed to them? To pray to them is not only useless, but a great sin the damning sin of idolatry! What docs Jesus say? "I am the door." "I am the way, tho truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by mo " John says: "And If any man sin, we have an aivocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." He does not say call on Peter and a long cata logue of dead saints, and perhaps dead rascals, on the calendar. Romish wor ship is antichristlan and the "man of sin" is Antichrist. Why foolishly seek of dead saints what they cannot give, when Christ ever liveth to matte intercession for his peoplo, and is able to save unto the uttermost? Intercession is his official business. "By his ewn blood he en tered the holiest of all," etc. What need of other mediators, when we have one who Is mighty to save? The fact Is, Rome Is Antichrist and her worship Is a subversion of Christianity. It is the religion of the dragon, and is the "masterpiece of satan," aB it has been called. When the worshiper makes the Virgin Mary "our mediatrix, our advocate, our firmest hope, the source of our confidence," Christ is rejected. What an absurdity to say that the gates of hell shall never prevail against a church built on Peter and the popes of Rome! Such a church is the gate of hell. It is satan's device to destroy souls. If satan can make the idolatrous religion of Rome pass for Christianity, he has a powerful instrument for the destruction of souls. That is just what satan is doing now making thousands believe that the pagan religion of the Romish church ia Christianity. Oh, shame on the nineteenth century! Will the world always "wonder after the beast"? No; the beast "goeth Into perdition." There is an end to popery. See Rev., chaps, xlv, xvil, xvlli, xlx. The object of this article, and of all my articles prepared for The Amer ican, is to open men's eyes to the real character of Rome. Americans, be courageous, be strong, be true to God and your country. Let your light shine let the light in on Babylon, that the world may see her abominations. Stand by the principles of liberty of press and pulpit and speech. Rome will shut your mouth, if she can. She is "slaying the wit nesses" on American soil by intimidat ing and gagging the press and pulpit. Romanism and Christian and civil lib erty cannot live together in the United States. Calvin. , . Italy May Sell to the l'ope. London, Sept. 18. Discussing the revival of the rumor that Italy may be induced to sell a small territory to the pope, a Paris correspondent telegraphs that the project for the pope's ransom by the Roman Catholic world, which is described as "a noble American con ceit," is no secret in tho cabinets of Europe, which has been for some time in possession of the details of the plan. It embodies, In addition to the estab lishment of the papacy in a principality with its own seaport, certain naval privileges and the restoration of con fiscated church property. Negotia tions are said to be progressing between the Vatican and the Quirinal. One word: If ever a so-called relig ious war takes place in this country Rome will inaugurate it, and its end will most assuredly be the extermina tion of prelate and priest and pope's army.--lerican Constitution. i 11LISH IMKmiKT CATHOLICS.

From a small start the national or ganization has grown In tho last year k count wunin u uicmiicr aiuiie twenty oongr.-g.itkm, according to the Polish Indciendcnls, aud they declare that the time may come when the whole Catholic church in America will be orgailcally independent of the Roman authorities. It I said by them that the discontent among the Polish people in thl country may Influence the appointment of a Polo Arch bishop Francis Zalewskl a the suo- cesser of Satolli a papal delegate to the American branch of the Roman church. "Tho movement I no longer local," said the Rev. A. F. Kolaszewtkl, the head of the Independent Catholic Church in America, yesterday, "and It is receiving approbation from all parts of Europe and has the sympathy of the intdlllgent Roman Catholic all over America. Only tho ignorant and the superstitious among the people oppose it. It Is creating great Interest among the Bohemian and tho Germans, and wo expect that congregations will be organized among them soon. At the great celebration at Buffalo two weeks ago a telegram was sent to Cardinal Lodechowskl, the secretary of the pope at Rome, stating that 30,000 Catholics had turned their backs to the Roman church In Buffalo. The Inde pendent church has as mmy more peo ple In Chicago, and there aro 10,000 of us in Cleveland. Tho boasted unity of organization of the Romish churcb is not so real as they make out. The church in the East Indies is Independent, and South America Is ripe for separation from the papal authority. There is no true Catholicity or unity in tho Spanish- American countries; everything is lax. There are four vital points for which we are striving. First, we desire that the church property shall bo owned by the people. It is an outrage that the bishops should be possessor of such enormous wealth. Second, we want all the financial affairs of the church to be in the hands of a committee selected by the people. Third, the people should have some voice in choosing and dismissing tbelr pastors. Fourth, we want better education for our children. The lattor are neglected. The Cath olic parochial schools are a failure. Our school started last Tuesday with 430 children. It is conducted almost exactly on tho same plan that the pub lic schools are conducted; we use the same text books and have employed teachers who have served in the public schools. One hundred of our children are at tending the public schools, and I would be glad to see all do so, but they are not quite ripe for that yet. In addition to the courses of the public schools we teach the Polish language, literature and religion. The idea of the Inde pendent church is the idea of the peo ple. Our aim Is to elevate the people and put them on their feet. The time is past when the people should be sub ject to the church, especially in America. Excommunication and the rule of popes and bishops belong to the Mid dle Ages, to times past, and to the days of kings. That time is past in America. All intelligent Catholics in America are heart and soul with us. The growth of the Independent movement is won derful. The Independents are asking for priests al over the countr; There was a call from Texas last week. Recently, I was In Chicago and found two congregations well established and a third being organized. There are, I should judge, fully 200,000 people who have identified themselves with the In dependent church in the last year. Two weeks ago I blessed a new church and cemetery at Buffalo, aod the parade was the grandest, lam sure, in the history of that city. There were 16,000 people in the procession and twenty-one socletlts. Tho pope knows of it, too. There were forty delegates to our convention last year, and this month we expect about 150 and about ten priests." Book Review. "America or Rome, Which'" By John T. Christian, A. M., D. D. Cloth.

It is a patriotic plea for the continuation of American liberty and the perpetuation of American institutions. The arraign ment of Rome Is fearful; but every statement Is fortified by the highest Roman Catholic authority. He argues vigorously that Rome has made a mur derous assault upon morals, seeks to overthrow our liberties, declares our marriage, in the language of the pope himself, to be a "filthy concubinago," opposes the free circulation cf the Bibl 11 In the vernacular of the people, an seeks to destroy our publio schools. He claims that the Romish tysteaa baa e laved human thought, been the stead fast foe of letter and sclenc, the per latent enemy of all enlightenment, and In every war a traitor to the United State Govern me-ut.
