UNDOING INFIDEL'S WORK.
Lewis Knapp's Anti Christian Gene
terry Monuments to Be DESTROYED.

Lewis KnRpp's Anti Christian Gene
terry Monuments to BE Destroyed
Madison. Wis. Oct. e.-The teachings OF
Lewis Knapp an inidel. who died at his
home at Kenosha, Wis, about ten years
ago. viii not live after him
Knapp was well known in his day FOR
his eccenricities. He spent a good part
Of his fortune in erecting monuments in
the cemetery at Kenosha upon which he
had inscribed the inhdel doctrine which
10 advocated. The first OF these monu-
ments were made Of marble. but when It
came TO uanscribing his written beliefs
upon it II was found that they were much
too small He also came TO the conclu-
sion that marble might not be enduring
enough.
In order the more certainly 70 hand
down his beliefs to posterity he had the
marble monuments destroyed and erected
in their stead eight great metal monu-
ments in the cemetery. Upon the sides
OF these monuments were inscribed in
large letters more than 1900 words. Civ
Ing HIS nonreligious beliefs Many OF the
sentences were denunciations Of Christi
anity and the various churches.
Knapp devoted more than twenty years
to preparing the copy for the inscriptions
and IN erecting the monuments. He had
planned that they should endure for oil
time and that the messages which they
conveyed should spread TO all parts OF
the world and that the Christian religion
should be finally overthrown through his
initial work
Soon after Knapp died the people of
Kenosha began to agitate the question of
destroying or removing the monuments.
1t was urged that they We're an insult to
the religious people OF the town The
relatives Of Knapp opposed such action
until short time ago. when It was final
ly agreed that the monuments should be
taken down and broken up into scrap
iron.
1t was stipulated by the relatives that
the inscriptions should first be copied in
order that Knapp's descendants might
preserve them. This has been done, and
the monuments are now being destroyed.
1t IS necessary to blow them UP with
dynamite. so securely were they fixed TO
the earth.
