THE KINGS ORDER.

Il Was Obeyed, and Vet the Monarch
Was Not Happy.
When King Gustavus III. of Sweden
was in Paris he was visited by depu-
tation of the Sorbonne. That learned
body congratulated the king on the
happy fortune which had given him so
great a man as Scheele, the discoverer
of magnesium, as his subject and fel
low countryman.
The king, who took small interest In
the progress of science. felt somewhat
ashamed that he should be so ignorant
as never even to have heard Of the re-
nowned chemist. He dispatched cou-
rier at once to Sweden with the laconic
order ''Scheele is to be Immediately
raised to the dignity and title Of a
count"
His majesty must be obeyed." said
the prime minister as he read the or
der, but who In the world is Scheele?'
A secretary was told TO make inquiries.
He came back to the premier With
very full information. "Scheele is q

MOLINE

New Hotel for City. - Plans have
been drawn in the Office of Hansen
& Harfst, architects in Davenport, for
a six-story building to rise on the
ground adjoining the Moses Ross
building on the east. The building
will be used for hotel purposes and
Davenport capitalists are backing The
project. Max Silbertstein of the well
known clothing firm of Silberstein
Bros. of Davenport, owns part of the
ground on which the proposed struc-
ture will stand. The dimensions of
his lot are 4Ox150 feet. 1t is under
stood that an option has been secured
on a piece Of ground 20 feet wide, ad
joining Mr.. Silberstein's property on

Nearly 100 employees of the Moline
Furniture works will be made happy
through the disbursement this week
of a portion of the earnings of the con-
Germ for the year. The exact amount
has not been determined, as the earn
ings will not be figured till this week.
The plan of sharing earnings with en-
ployes is an old one with the company,
and announcement was made Friday
by one of the officers that the plan
would be followed this year, in az
cordance with past custom. The
amount distributed as a Christmas
present last year was between $500
and $500, 80 men sharing in the di-
vision. In figuring the amount given
to each man there is taken into &C
count the length of time he has been
in the company's service and his earn
ing capacity as we'll.
