A RELIGIOUS WAR
A Small Kansas Town Threatened
With an Outbreak.

New York Sun Special Service.
Topeka, Kan, June 27.--John Nichols,
well known farmer in Olmutz near
Great Bend, found a card tackled on his
day" Nichols thinks 1t was placed there
by the Catholic people Of the little town
who are very bitter against him. He said
that he had not the least intention Of
leaving town and had armed himself in
preparation for any attack. Several
friends have come to his relief and they
say they will resist to the end any sat
tempt to drive him out Of the country.
Nichols got into bitter quarrel the other
day with Father Huna, the Catholic
priest, over something connected with the
district school meeting and knocked the
priest down. Nichols is a leader in the
protestant faction and his action made
him hated all the more cordially by the
Catholics. 5 ztSlat.
Olmutz is little town whose popula-
ton and that of the surrounding country
is composed principally Of Catholics. It
Is feared that religious war may be the
outcome of the affair. For long time the
rivalry between the two factions has been
pronounced and has assumed all the ytgor
of the old time religious dissentions.

PARIslANs PROTEST
Adopt Resolutions condemnIng Russia for
KIshlnef Massacre.

Paris, June 27.-Two thousand persons
attended meeting here last evening to
protest against the Kishiney massacre.
NJ Jaures, fourth vice president of the
chamber Of deputies, was the first speaker.
He said that Paris associated itself with
Europe in protesting against the oppres-
sion Of the Films and the massacre at
Kishincf. No government. he said, could
interfere in the affairs Of other countries.
Nevertheless, and despite the Franco
Russian alliance and the official reserve
Of the powers, public opinion ought to
fortify itself and protest against the mas
sacre at Kishinef.
The most serious feature, he continued,
was the completely of the regular author
tiles. From documents he had received
from Russia he was convinced that the
czar did not desire the massacre. He was
indignant because Of them and had at
tempted to relieve the distress by sending
aid to the victims. but the car was the
first serf and slave OF his own system.
His autocratic government was response
BILE for such massacres.
The meeting unanimously adopted a
protest in the name of humanity and
justice.

government has learned with profound
regret Of the intention Of the Washing

the Associated Press Is further permitted
to say that Mr. Riddle, the American
charge, when he presents the petition at

necessary In view Of Russia's unalterable
policy Of refraining from interference in
the internal affairs Of other powers and
insisting on similar treatment for itself.

The deposition was taken in behalf
of defendants, but was evidently not
altogether to their liking, for efforts
were made to suppress it, and the
clerk of the court was threatened
and warned not to permit it to be-

that Harney had been bribed by
Heinze and told Harney so, and the
latter did not deny it until they had
been discussing the proposition of
making a statement for nearly an
hour.

SYMPATHY FOR PINGREE
Square Man Who Would Not Even Talk of
Getting Rid of His Liza
biIities

Detroit, March 19.-The sympathy
felt for Frank c. 'Pingree in busi-
ness circles On account of his finan-
cial reverses, growing out of the fail
ure of the City Savings bank, is
strengthened by knowledge of the fact
that shortly after the bank failed Pm
gree refused to listen to prominent
lawyer who told him that he could
save him from all liability.
Pingrce had reason to believe that
the lawyer could do what he claimed,
but he would not even discuss the
matter, preferring to lose his fortune
rather than make an effort to escape
by legal subterfuges. This has become
known along the street, and is recOg-
nized as in line with Pingree's long
established reputation for strict intcg-
rity in his business dealings.
