Pastor of Swedish Lutheran
Church to Take Charge OF
Illinois Passionate
FAREWELL SERMON ON SUNDAY
After a Months Vacation Rev. Lind
vail Will Begin His Work With His
New charee-ls Senior Preacher in
Length Of Service, in city-Pastor'
ate Here Has Been Successful

Rev. Carl A. Lndvall pastor of the
Swedish Lutheran church, and by
length of service the senior preacher Oh
the CITY, will leave his charge to ac-
cept the pastorate of the denomlna-
tons church at Bloomington, Ill Mr.
Lindvall will preach his farewell ser
mon next Sunday He will leave the
city soon after TO spend a month with
relatives in Pennsylvania. and the hrst
Sunday in October he will begin his
work with his new charge.
The church to which Rev. Mr. Lind
vail has been called is the only one Of
the denomination in Bloomington, and
it is much larger than the local church,
having membership of about 800.
Mr.. Lindvalrs resignation has been
in the hands OF the church committee
for several months. but it has never
been acted upon. Since it is the pas
tors determination to go, the resigna-
ton will doubtless be accepted prior
to his departure.
his l0dNlllS Is du6 " q
Of reasons, chief among which is that
he has served the local church. as stu
dent and pastor, for almost seven
years, and that the church and field to
which he is called is much larger and
opens up a much wider field for ac-
tivities.
During his pastorate Mr.. LindvalIs
relations with his congregation have
been most cordial and it is only with
feelings of regret that it will see him
depart. Under his leadership the
church has grown and thrived and
harmony has prevailed. Not more than
year ago Mr. Lindvall rendered his
resignation to accept call that had
been rendered him. but he was pre-
vailed upon to withdraw it and re-
main.
Temporarily at least, following the
departure OF, Mr. Lindvall the pulpit
will be supplied by students from Au-
gustana College and Theological Sem
mary, of Rock Island, of which Mr..
Lindvall is graduate.

q BASE BALL a

In the closing innings of yesterdays
game. Burlington, by a brilliant squirt,
won from Kennedy 3 to 2, making the
series three straight. The three de-
feats Marshalltown has suffered at
Burlington have pushed the team down
and out of the first division to the
lowest point since the first of the
month.
Altho Marshalltown outhit Burling-
ton, the hitting was sporadic and un-
certain. and not punched. Burling-
toms hitting during the last two inn
ings of the game was especially we'll
timed. Woodring was inclined to be
wild, his wildness cropping out at
times when steadier and more effec-
tive pitching should have kept Bur-
lington off the bases and prevented
scoring.
From the third to the eighth inning
the visitors led Burlington, but in the
latter inning the score was tied, and
Burlington brought in the winning run
in the next round Both teams scored
one run in the third inning, and Mar
shaltown took another and the lead in
the fifth. The score in detail:

"Your Chief Nicholson is one in a
thousand" said Detective Jess" Nc
Kercher, of the Des Moines police
force, to Times Republican man
Tuesday evening. when he was about
to leave for Des Moines in charge of
Ottavio Laprovitara, whom Chief Mich
olson arrested here yesterday morning
for the murder of Ottilio Screvino one
week ago. IF I hadn't known the
Italian doubt very much whether I
would have picked him up from the
description furnished, altho it was as
good a one as we could secure. The
photograph accompanying the descrip-
ton was an old one, and 1 am frank to
admit that one wouldn't be likely to
recognize the man from the picture
we furnished"
There was large crowd Of Italians
at the Great Western station Tuesday

left, being attracted out Of curiosity.
Detective McKercher gives 8 little
inside history of the case that is in
teresting, and especially the fact that
the victim of Laprovitara's bullet was
the murderers own cousin. Laprovi-
tara was married only three months
ago, and Screvino, it seems, was
jealous. Screvino made some slight
ing remarks touching on Mrs. Llprovi-
tara's character, and they came to the
ears OF the young husband. A quarrel
ensued and Laprovitara shot his tor
mentor twice. One bullet struck the
Italian in the leg and the other
pierced the abdomen, going clear thru
the body. Screvino died twenty-four
hours later. The gun that Chief
Nicholson took from the Italian here
was the one used in Staying his VIC
tim.
Nicholas Disalvo, the wealthy Ital-
ian merchant of Des Moines, knew
both Laprovitara and Screvino in the
old country Mrs. Laprovitara is a
niece of Mrs. Disalvo's sister, and a
brother of Laprovitara married Disal-

an Immediate answer was requested
General Beeson replied this morning,

The return Of General Beeson to the
home will not be that of a stranger, as
the general and Commandant Horton
are fast friends and old comrades.
When commanding the Second Iowa
cavalry during the civil war Colonel
Horton had for his quartermaster
Byron A. Beeson. When Charles c.
Horton became commandment of the
soldiers home in 1897 he made Byron
A. Beeson his quartermaster. General
Beeson served in this capacity until
about five years ago, when he went to
Hampton, Va, to become treasurer of
the national home. The position with
the national home is more desirable
one, from a salary standpoint than the
state position here, but General Beeson
is doubtless Influenced by the fact that
under the national commission rule Of
fcers of national homes go on the
retired list at 70 years, and this would
