If Eric Cams Have It, Why Not Somo
Other swedr, the Query.
There were about sixty voters present
at the meeting of the Swedish Repub-
lican club last night, when the commit
tee appointed to investigate the cause Of
the dismissal of Eric Nystrom from his
position Of superintendent of state
house grounds. The committee
reported that the members of the
executive council had been interviewed
and they were satisfied that Nystrom
wss discharged because he was incompe-
tent and not for any political reason.
1t S understood that-the club will at
its mex. meeting recommend some one to
take Nystrom's place. But no one is
needed to take Nystrom's place. No
superintendent of state house grounds IS
needed until there are some state house
grounds to superintend.
If the Swedish Republican club must
have one of its members in Office, give
the man an office there is some use for.

THE CHOIR DISMISSED.

Not the Chu CHS Mission TO Usurp tho
Stages Functions. Says Chicago Past or
CHICAGO, Oct. 22-There is considera-
BILE discussion in religious circles in this
city over the announcement that the
choir of Immanuel Baptist church has
been given notice that after November
10 its services would be dispensed with.
This is in consequence of the position
of the pastor. the Rev. Jonathan Mey-
ers. who says that art is all right in its
place, but that it is no part of the mis-
sion of the church to u6urp the functions
of the concert stage.
He likes oratorio in its place, but in
church he prefers sacred songs, which
change mems hearts and lives. Imman-
ueI church is said to possess the finest
church quartette in the west, but this fact
has failed to make an impression ON the
new minister He wants the congrega-
ton to do the singing.

The Rear Admiral is Recalled From
EurOpo by Secretary Herbert.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 22-Secre-
tary Herbert yesterday issued an order
detaching Rear Admiral Kirkland from
the command of the European station
and assigning to that command Rear
Admiral Selfridge, at present head of
the trial board az the Navy department.
Admiral Kirkland is at present on his
flagship. the san Francisco, en- route
from Gibraltar TO Algiers.
NEW YORK, Oct ga special dis
patch from Washington says: Rear Ad-
miral Kirkland's trouble arose from con-
graduating President Faure, of France.
on his election, which Secretary Herbert
thought improper and unnecessary: from
making uncomp plimentary remarks about
American missionaries in Syria and Ar
menia; from an alleged insult
to naval chaplain at the
Kiel festivities, and because of
charges of general indiscretion, COM
menting on persons and affairs. Admi-
raj Kirkland has sailed from Gibraltar
for Algiers in his flagship, the San Fran
cisco.
The announcement that Admiral Kirk :
land had been detached created a seEsa-
ton in naval circles. 1t is expected that
he will apply to be placed on the retired
list. For some time past it has been ru
mored that Secretary Herbert was not
pleased with tho conduct of the admit al.

Children In Euclid school from Families
Where DiPhtheria Breaks Out.
The manner in which diphtheria IS
'dodging around is puzzling the physi-
clans and others.
Two new cases have appeared where
there has been none before and within
block and a half of each other The
first case was in the family of Mr. Elliott,
1880 Byron street. the other in that of
J. n. Porter 1910 West street.
Both children attacked are under
school age. Two of the older children
in the Porter family attended the Euclid
building yesterday although the youmg-
er child was sick at home with diphthe :
ria.
This the parents and children proba-
bly, did not know, yet the fact rem aims
that the seeds of the disease are now
scattered among the pupils of the school
The board continues to hold the school
open, however, and the disease keeps on.

FRANK HERALD IRATE.
The Fight over :. Useless ONCE Nearly Re-
suits In Flows.


Judge Hazen this morning decided
that Frank Herald cannot draw any SAL
ary as commissioner of elections until
the supreme court decides who is entitled
to the salary, Herald or McMaster. He
granted the order asked by r. B. McMas-
ter to restrain the city officials from pay
ing salary to Mr.. Herald until the
supreme court decision.
After the decision had been given by
Judge Hazen there came pretty near be-
ing a fight with fists over the affair be-
tween Herald and I. +. Doran, McMas
ter's attorney.
"Well, Frank, we beat you" said Dor
an to Herald, as they passed in front of
the court house.
Yes, you thief, you red -mouthed-"
"Shut up!' shouted Doran.
At this point friends interfered and
prevented a conflict.
In handing down his ruling the district
judge said: "Our supreme court has held
that if an officer has been paid his salary
that if anyone else claims the money the
corporation does not have to pay it over
again The city would therefore be safe
in any event.
But, in this case the salary has not
yet been paid. 1t is shown that sir.
| McMaster could not recover from Mr
Herald if the supreme court should hold
that he was the one to whom the money
rightfully belonged. 1t is therefore or
dered hat the city be restrained from
paying Mr.. Herald anything on the sal
AIRY of the commissioner of elections un-
Ill it shall be decided whom the money
belongs to-"

When Mr.. Bradford came in there was
a determined look on his face and it was
clearly seen that his thoughts were bent
on annihilatior. He had told.the other
councilmen what he had intended to do
but he did not mean that his intention
should be Known to the public before

over the fact that his plans had been
given away.
The resolution was type written and
this one was not the production of Capt.

There are at present six churches in
the. United States that are founded on
strictly prohibition lines. They did not
come from the same source. some being
off shoots from the Baptist and others
spiang from Methodism. The creeds
are not all alike, but prohibition, the
one sovereign point on which they all
agree, brings Them together to find
strength in unity.
These churches are located from New
York to California. In Newburg, n. y,
is one, in Virginia, in Santa Monica,

The Rev. Mr. Wells says that he is the

messages from friends and felt that the
