Judge W. H Gest in the circuit court

to Rock Island last night, following
the railroad right of way. Whether
he lay down on the tracks and fell
asleep, or was struck by the train
while he was walking between the
rails, probably never will be known.

After the body was discovered, Cor
oner J. F. Rose was notified, the re-
mains were removed to the Knox IN

SYNOD RESOLVES
AGAINST DANCING
Emphatic Protest on Tendency
to Introduce Terpsichorean
Teaching in Schools.
PRINCIPLE CALLED WRONG
PROSECUTING Practices of Mormon
Church Denounced-Swedish
Girls Are Converts.

The Augustana synod this morning
placed itself strongly on record against
dancing, and more particularly against
the practice of teaching dancing in the
! public schools. The resolution adop.-
/ ed by the synod was presented by Rev.
Adolph Hult of Omaha, and embodied
the recommendations which had been
previously made by DR.. E. Norelius,
president of the synod, in his annual
report to the synod. The resolution,
which was adopted unanimously, reads
as follows:
Whereas, The underlying principles
of the common schools system require
that We deviate neither to the right
by giving specific religious instruction,
thereby confounding respective func-
lions of the church and the state, nor
TO the left by favoring such practices
as are opposed to the Christian re-
ilgion.
Resolved, That we, members of the
Augustana synod in jubilee convention
! assembled, do most emphatically pro-
test against the tendency to introduce
the dance in our public schools, be-
lieving it to be wrong in principle to
use the public money for such pur-
poses and for the paid servants Of the
public in their official capacity to act
as instructors in dancing"
Hot Shot at MOrmOnism.
The synod also took occasion to de-
nounce the proselytic practices of the
Mormon church with reference to
Swedish immigrants, and appointed
committee to prepare an address to
the Swedish government TO take steps
to protect Swedish girls from the Nor
mon agents who are working in Swe-
den at the present time. 1t is reported
that these agents have succeeded in
converting a large number Of girls to
their religion, and have induced them
to leave their native land for Utah to
become the wives Of Mormons.
The committee appointed to prepare
the address to the Swedish govern
ment is composed Of Revs. Under.
Asher. Krantz and Abrahamson. The
action of the synod followed the re-
port of the Utah mission board. which
pictured the conditions existing there
and urged that immediate steps be
taken.
Jerusalem society
local branch of the Swedish Je-
rusalem society was organized this
afternoon in the college chapel, Bishop
Won Scheele being sponsor for the new
organization. The purpose of the so
ciety. which was organized some years
ago in Sweden, is to win the people
of Jerusalem and Palestine for Chris
tianity.
Bishop breaches IL Moline.
Bishop Won Scheele honored Moline
last night by preaching sermon in
the First Lutheran church. He chose
as the text for his sermon the story
of the "prodigal son. from the 18th
chapter of Luke. The sermon OF the
bishop was both strong and touching
in its simplicity and in its personal
application.
