cussed and the movement went so far
that committees were appointed and en-
couraging reports received, but it seems
to have stepped there. Moline has taken
the lead and it is to be hoped Rock Island
will be stimulated by the example set
The Dispatch of last evening fully de.
scribes what THE ARGUS yesterday
made mention of:
There was quiet meeting of some
thirty Swe 1ish citizens st the pariors of
the Peal house last Saturday evening. IL
was meeting of Importance, too, as il
gives healthy promise of new manufac-
turing institution in Moline-the first of
what may prove to be such a series of CO.
operative furniture factories as has prov
en- such boon to Rockford. Gustaf
Swensson presided at this meeting and
Andrew Al derson acted as secretary. II
developed that two or three options had
been obtained for land on which to con-
struct fur niture factory. One of the
sites comprises two and a half acres
belonging TO the Moline Water Power
company on the tail race between First
and Second streets. which can be had by
the new company for five years for the
payment of the taxes, and at the expira-
ton of five years the Wa,er Power COM
psny agrees to sell the land at figure
which is really below the present value
81 900 an acre. The other options are
also very favorable. Blu, no decision wa 8
made as 10 these.
1t was, however, decided TO organize
q co-opera i've furniture factory right
away, to be known as the Moline Furni-
ture company, and to have q capital stock
of $4,000 Andrew Anderson. G. J.
Carlson and August Lindgren were ap
pointed CON missiOners 10 apply for a Ii.
cense to incorporate. and they attended to
this duty yesterday. The intention is TO
eo1fine the stock holding to our Swc dish
American citizens, If they will promptly
step up and subscribe for the stock, and
it seems very likely that they will do this,
Tor one>hslf of the stock is already spoken
for-the largest block not exceeding
81 900 worth. That the enterprise has
substantial backing is evinced by the fact
that such men are interested as Gustsf

duee a bill 10 Abolish the Rockford

Representative Hunter, OF Winnebago
county, will introduce bill in the leeis-
lature to abolish s. hweinfurtb's So called
Heaven" A Springfield dispatch has
the following to saw about il;
The messiah is coming down from
heaven during this session of TIE legisla-
ture." SAID Representative David Hunter,
Of Winnabago county, this evening. This
state ment as the more surprising as
M. Hunter in an exceedingly quiet, con
sentative man, good christian and q
millionaire farmer. He continued: / mean
that humbng, Schweinfurth. Who lives
in q place which he calls heaven, about
FIVE miles from Rockford, ina MY county.
He will have to come down and show his
colors and fight for his pretended divine
existence, for l am going to introduce a
bill in few days that WILL if it becomes
law, as l fully believe it will, wipe his
heaven off the face of the earth and being
his disgraceful pretensiols to being Jesus
Christ to sudden end. We have had
much trouble in preparing this BILL for
the offenses which this fellow is gu lty of
are most difficult to be met by law We
have had the benefit of the New York law
that was passed to crush the Oneida
community, and we have consulted sew
eral Chicago lawYers-in fact. the bill in
question was drafted in Chicago One
point" continued Mr.. Hunter, I'VE we're
able to get over without much trouble.
Section provides that if any person pre-
tends to possess divine attributes, aud by
reason of such pretensions obtains anv
property of any kind. such person shall
be guilty of misdemeanor and shall be
punished accordingly.
But there is another point which we
are trying to cover in the bill that is more
| delicate. Schweinfurth's heaven and his
whole family were the subjects of II
| thorough investigation by the grand jury
at Winmebago county lat fail. The
women who had become mothers since
they went to this heaven swore, in every
case. that they never had relations with
men, but that they conceived of the 30 Y
Ghost. The grand jurors were Mortified
at such blasphemy. but were powerless 10
punish it. Now just how to meet this
phase of the case we have not yet set
tied, but we must do it. for this is the
| most disgraceful feature of the oommun-
| ity
