lngersoll on the Bible.

The senior law class Of the State
University recently proposed to invite
Bob Ingersoll, the blatant infidel, TO
deliver the commencement address be-
fore that class next June. The good
people Of the state raised q howl against
the insult. To show what manner of
man lngersoll is, we print his views on
the bible, delivered at the Coates opera
house in Kansas City Sunday night.
He said: ministers wonder how l
can be wicked enough to attack the
bible. / will tel! them. This book,
the bible, has prosecuted, even unto
death, the wisest and the best. This
stayed and stopped the onward move
mentk of the human race. This book
poisonedthe fountains Of learning and
m~isdirected the energies Of man. This
book u the enemy of freedom. the sup
port OF slavery. This book sowed the
seeds Of hatred in families and nations,
fed the flames OF war and Impoverished
the world. This book is the breast
work Of kings and tyrants-the en-
SLAYER of women and children. This
book has corrupted parliaments and
This book has made colleges
and universities the teachers of error
and the haters of conscience. This
book has filed Christendom with hate
full, cruel, ignorant and warring sects.
This book has taught men 10 kill their
fellows for religions sake. This book
founded the lnquisition, invented the
of torture, built the dun
geons in which good and loving people
languished, forged the CHAINS that
rusted in their flesh and erected the
whereon they died. This book
piled faggots about the feet of the just.
This book drove reason from the minds
of millions and filed the asylums with
the insane. attack this book because
it Is an enemy OF human libarty-the
greatest obstruction across the hlgways
of human progress. Let me ask the
ministers n question: How can you
be wicked enough to defend this book ?
l hate it with all my heart. Let no
civilized man pay another dollar to q
minister to preach lies. Let no woman
give another dollar to a mission
airy to send him with his mouth stuffed
with its lies"

The New Grand.

Wellington Out vive.
Last Monday evening while 10 Lex.
iugton We went around and took a look
at the New Grand opera house which
was being rushed to completion for the
opening, which occurred that night.
This opera house is probably the neal
est furnished opera house in the state,
outside of the large cities, and We have
yet to see anything In Kansas City that
will Discount It as to neatness and Ar
rangement. The spirit Of enterprise
shown by Messrs. Emison Chanslor and
Walter Waddell In erecting this new
opera house IL commendable indeed,
and now the proper thiog for the citi-
zsns of Lexington to do is to show
their appreciation Of such enterprise by
patronizing the house literally.
