KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Aug. Kell Farmer Meets Death and
House is Shattered.

4
News was received In the city Sun
day morning of the death of Aug. kell
prosperous farmer living in the towI
of Maine, who was killed during tn,
thunder storm of that morning ant
while enjoying rest on couch in hi
sitting room 1t appears that he hae
been feeling unwell for week or more
and that morning after eating a ligh
breakfast lay down on couch for {
rest A thunder storm, which rageo
with unusual severity, was then in prog
ress, and at about $50 o'clock light
ming bolt struck the house and killed
MIR. Kell
1t appears to have struck the chimney
and then went down into the house
for the chimney was cut of at the ROOT
and the bricks scattered all over the
yard. A tlue zap in one of the rooms
was blown out and thrown with such
great force as to make an indenture in
the wall on the opposite side of the
room. A door was cut off at the bot.
tom as if it had been sawed off by a
carpenter. A stairway leading to the
rooms above was reduced to kindling
wood and there was hardly portion
of the house but what did not show
evidences of the lightnings work. As
above stated Mr.. Kell was lying peace
fully resting when the house was struck
and after the other members of the
family had recovered from the shock
they found him breathing his last
He lived several minutes during which
time he asked for drink of water and
then lapsed into Inconsistencies and
expired. There were no marks on him
other than few discolorations on one
side of the face where the falling plaster
from the walls struck him. In the wall,
close to where he lay, and about opposite
his head, was very small hole in the
plastering and it is thought that
the bolt that killed Mr.. Keil broke
through the wall at that point.
Though the house was almost com
pletely wrecked and the furniture
broken there was no one else injured,
other than being momentarily shocked,
which seems miracle to one who
saw the wreck,
Mr. Kell had been resident of
Marathon county for great MANY
years and almost since his coming here
had lived on farm near Taegeville,
where he had prospered and was highly
respected in the community, which he
had helped build up He was born in
Germany, May LIST, 1856, and was there
fore iifty-eight years of age. His wife
died about nine years ago. He is
survived by six children, the youngest
a boy of thirteen years. He is also
survived by two brothers and two
sisters, Ernst of the town of Texas and
William, of the town of Maine, and
Mesdames Jos Pope and Aug. Grade,
of this city. The funeral was held this
afternoon from st. Johns church in
the town of Maine, Rev. +. Werhahn,
pastor of st. Stephens church of this
city officiating.

PICNIC A SUCCESS.

| The annual picnic given by the Wan
sau Sharpshooters, Sunday, at the
Shooting park, turned out to be more
of success than the society had antic-
ipated. There were great mauy peo-
pie on the grounds during the morning
hours, witnessing the shooting contests,
butjn the afternoon the number was
largely Increased. After the dinner
hour the Columbia band~ and the
Deutsche Kriegerverein marched over
to the grounds. The former furnished
enlivening music during the afternoon,
while the latter organization gave fancy
drills and a graphic reproduction of the
battle of Sedan, using blank cartridges
and firing into the ''luft.'
Nearly all of the Sharpshooters and
families, and number of families of
non members, enjoyed dinner on the
grounds. The shooting contests during
the morning hours were the main feat
ures, interest centering on the results
OF the team shooting and Oh the King
target. On the latter Otto Mueller car
ried off the honors, though tive result
was in doubt until the last shot was
fired. The following : the result of
the different contests:

leaving them without positive instruction.
Our preachers get hearing with them and
hundreds OF them accept the word. These
people would never have left the Roman
Catholic Church and become Protestants,
but once outside and hungry for spiritual
food they come to us. Aglipay loosens the
fruit from the tree and we gather 1t. am
not without hope that Aglipay will yet take
more advanced spiritual and moral grounds.
His own personal belief is far from being
in accord with some errors at which he
feels 1t necessary to wink lest he lose his
following. He hopes to be able to lead
them to greener pastures later on. The
Independent Filipino Catholic Church has
come to stay. Just how strong a hold it
will be able to keep over the multitudes
which have focked to its standard of re-
volt against the pope cannot be foretold,
but 1t may be reckoned with as a perma-
nent factor in the religious future of the
Philippines"
Aglipay has been a large purchaser OF
Bibles In the native languages. The Amer
lean Bible Society has sold him more than
$4,000 copies of the Scriptures, and 1t is
believed that he has distributed them
throughout the land, but he has not sue
ceeded in or even attempted to reform the
morals or methods of the native priests.
He is himself accused of the grossest i'm
morality. and the most of his followers still
practice the vices which were so general
among the priests during Spanish times

BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star and
Chicago Record-Herald.
MANILA, May 20. 1904.
The Independent church movement IN the
Philippines Is much more serious and wide
spread than the Catholic authorities at
Rome realize. 1t has been regarded there
as a mere exhibition of vanity and bravado
by an communicated priest, but 1t means
great deal more. 1t means that the
Catholic Church In the Philippines has been
cut in two. Since Mgr. Guidi has been here
he has made frequent reports to Rome con-
corning the situation. but his warnings
have received no attention. and now Arch
bishop Harry is confronted with move
ment which has spread so widely that Agli-
pay now claims that 200 native priests and
100000 native members have left the Ro-
man church and Joined what he terms the
Independent Philippine Catholic Church.
An Organized Revolt.
1t is not a schism but an organized re-
volt against what he calls the corruption.
injustice and tyranny of the Spanish arch
bishop and clergy. just as AguinaIdo and
his associates rebelled against the Spanish
civil and military authorities. This eccle-
siastical revolution Is closely related to the
political Instruction. While his following
Is nowhere near SO large as he claims, he
has several hundred thousand devoted ad-
herents. and In certain provinces the regu-
lar Roman Catholic organization does not
hold a single parish. In Vigan province,
which is part of the diocese Of the new
Bishop Dougherty, nearly every parish has
gone over and nearly every native priest is
'schismatico," as the deserters are called.
In Bishop Rockers diocese there has been
revolution. Strange stories are told Of
events that have occurred there.
Up In the province OF Surijac the other
priest out of his "convento" as the parson-
age is called, and installed a native priest
In his place. According to the policy Of the
government the officials interfered and re-
stored the Roman Catholic to his place, and
they warned the Aglipaynos that they must
not do such things any more, but q guard
or constabulary Is necessary to protect the
priest from the women of his congregation
and he cannot remain there long
The power Of the native priests Is almost
unlimited. and every one who has gone over
has taken his church with him and all the
property. The native priests were always
disloyal to the government. They wore
active In the instruction from the begin
ming. and that fact gives them a standing
and an Influence which Is very difficult for
Americans like Archbishop Harry and the
new bishops to offset or overcome The
Roman priests are continually appealing to
the government, but the officials can inter-
fere only to prevent disorder. and refer dis
putes over the possession Of church prop
erty to the courts. which have been in
structed to hasten trials as soon as pos
sibe.

Native Priests Vindictive.

There Is noquestion about the vindctive.
ness OF the native clergy against Rome. and
particularly against the friars and all for
eign clergymen. They were very badly
treated in Spanish times. They were not
admitted to the monastic orders, or at least
they have not been for hundred and fifty
years: they were seldom allowed to take
full charge Of parishes, and were only as
