! John Vinquist, late treasurer of the
Freja Society, was buried yesterday after.
noon. The society, with their colors, anc
i. Grape on their arms, followed the remains
to the grave. The minister of the Swede
Methodist church, who had promised to
ipreach the sermon at the grave, refused
to do so because the society carried theil
fag. This is regarded by the members a.
breach of faith and they cannot imagine
how any good minister of the gospel would
refuse to assist at the last sad rites of {;
I deceased fellow couutryman-especiall,
r after having been present during his sick
ness and being fully aware of the rules o
t the Freja Society. This indecent conduc
will not go aforementioned by our Swed
!, residents, who regard it as an unmerite,
q act of unkindness and discourtesy.
II A petition was presented to the counci
. at its last meeting praying for the opening
" of Division St., to the Water Power Co.'S
! canal. which was referred to the stree
COMMITTEE, consisting of Messrs, Wheelock
e Wittick, Okerberg and White. At pre-
lsent there is no place at which to land a.
lengine in case of fire, from Rodman ave
nue. west, and the opening Of Division 81
ofl will be an improvement which wi
+ prove of value to the city. Diyisio
Istreet, situated as it is. in the hear
=, of our manufacturing establishments
al ought to be opened. We have had on
st fire recently and very nearly had anothe
IL the other day at the paper mill W
have-no water main and consequently ar
* dependent on the river for supply G
ID water, and if We have no suitable place t
er land an engine even that mode of gettin
" water will be cut off. Our manufacture
- establishments are the back bone of tn
+ city, at least 1900 men gain their livel
is hood from this source, and there is not on
le among the number but would cheerful
4 pay an assessment towards the same; nc
=. is there taxpayer in the district VIII
ID would demur to the payment of his prc
r portion of taxes. Moline's pride and j
r large part sustenance is her manufacture
m establishments, and it is the duty of ever
y citizen to uphold and sustain them. On
IF council cannot adopt more advantageou
a. measure than the opening of Divisio
y street to the Water Power Co.'S cana

N our city can be protested in case of fire.
