New Minister'S Career.
Rev. Mr.. Forsberg was born at
Persberg mines, near the city of Fill
ipstad, in the province of Vermland,
Sweden. Having at II years of age
finished the prescribed public school
course, he was obliged to follow his
father, who at that time was a miner,
into the mines. Later, when his
fathers circumstances had somewhat
improved, he was sent to a German
school of forestry, from which he
graduated at the age of 10. The
year after he visited Norway, where,
especially in the seaports, sailing is
the life's delight of every boy and
young man.
Thus he became a sailor for
period of about three years, though
merely for the purpose of seeing
other countries and people. IN the
year 1880 he arrived in America,
where he at first followed the occu-
patton of his father. but, receiving
a call to become permanent teacher
in a parochial school at Ishpeming,
Mich, he accepted this and taught
for one year, after which he entered
Augustana college and graduated
from the theological department in
1890
oIcKeesport, Pa, First Charge.
His first charge after his ordina-
ton the same year was at McKees-
port, Pa. Since then he has been
pastor of the Swedish Lutheran
churches at Braddock, Pa, Buffalo,
y. y, and South Bend, Ind, where
ne also studied French language and
literature with Professor Carlo Ven
eziani at Notre Dame university. Rev.
Mr.. FOrsberg's present charge at Cal
umet he has held for nearly seven
years. He will enter upon his du-
ties in the Zion church on the first
day of September.

BAR ASSOCIATION
POSTPONES AGAIN
Annual Picnic at Watch Tower Is
Put OFF Another Week in Hopes
of Better Weather.

The annual picnic of the Rock Island
County Bar association, which is to be
held at the Watch Tower, has been
postponed for the third time, because
the lawyers are still afraid of inclem-
ent weather. The affair was to have
come of tomorrow, but the date has
been moved a week further along.
With all the array of legal talent in
the association, they have been unable
to prevail upon the weather man to
grant them a pleasant outlook for
single Saturday during the past month.

THE Luther league stands today
on its record of success in keeping
the confirmed loyal TO the mother
church, and of training its members
for usefulness in the congregation
and the community generally. The
state convention is the clearing
house of all the practicable ideas;
and the success of the local societies
for the ensuing year will be largely
determined by the number of their
representatives at this meeting"

FOUR SHOT IN FAMILY TRAGEDY.
Husband, Wife, Son and Woman's
Father Killed In Chicago.

Chicago. The neighbors of F.
S. Bouton were Mortified when they
discovered the dead bodies of Bou-
ton, his daughter, her husband and
his little grandson in Bouton's homo
at 1884 Cottage Grove avenue.
Each of the four had been killed by
a bullet and the police are convinced
that all of the fatal missiles were
fired by w. J. Myers, the proprietor
of shooting gallery, crack shot. All
the bullets had penetrated the brains
of the victims.
The victims of the shooting are:
w. ]. Myers, forty years old; his
wife, Grace, twenty-six years old
Ralph Myers, their seven-year-old son,
and F. S. Bouton, father of Mrs. Myers
Myers had been living apart from
his wife and child and this circum-
stance, together with the fact that the
revolver was found beside him, con-
WINGED the police that he shot the
other three and killed himself.
Myers and his wife are said by the
police to have quarreled and separated
several weeks ago and the woman is
declared to have caused his arrest re-
Gently. He is said to have been placed
under bond to keep the peace. Since
that time he had not been living at the
family home.
Only four chambers of the revolver
were empty and this established that
each of the victims was killed by one
bullet

The flames were first discovered in
the lumber yard Of Blacker and

spread until Dover and Albany streets
were mass of flames.
A general alarm called all the fire
apparatus in the city to the scene and
later call for help was sent to
Brookline, Cambridge and SomerVille
and all the available fire fighting ap-
paratus in those towns was rushed to
the scene of the confagration.
Two lumber yards, fifty tenement
houses and the Dover street bridge
were In flames at one time. Three
pieces Of fire apparatus were lost by
the department because of the rush Of
the flames. Several firemen and many
policemen had narrow escapes from
serious injury. Many Of the tenement
house dwellers In the fire zone also
had narrow escapes from the rapidly
spreading flames.
Hundreds of pounds Of dynamite
were used to blow up buildings on
both Dover and Albany streets to stop
the progress of the confagrat1on,
which was sweeping toward Washing
ton street and the great shopping and
business district when it was checked.
While this fire was in progress an
other which threatened to be nearly
as large ragged in the wholesale dis
trict in the heart of the city, in the
