DR.. HOLMES DIES
SUDDEN in EAST
News Comes as Shock to His
Friends in Rock Island
and Moline.
NOTED AS A CHURCH MAN
Student at Augustana College From
1870 to Neutrality-suspicious.
Reputation as Poet.

A telegram from Evanston, ILL.,, an
bouncing the death of DR.. Ludwig
Holmes at Philadelphia, was received
this morning by DR.. L. c. Abrahamson
of Rock Island:
Holmes passed away-supposedly
spinal meningitis-at the German hos
pital at Philadelphia at S:45 tonight
Received first alarming news Satur-
day, although he has been sick since
Tuesday. Funeral service notices
later. Kindly inform Rock Island
friends.
"P V. BRANDELLE."
News of the death of DR.. Holmes
comes as a severe shock TO his many
friends in the three cities. While it
was known that his condition has been
serious since a week ago, it was hardly
expected that he would pass away so
soon. DIR. Holmes was first taken i'll
in New York, a week ago, while on
visit to the Immigrant home, but it
was not considered more serious than
a severe headache. While attending
a session of the boaru of foreign mis-
sions of the general council of the LII
theran church of America, which was
being held in Philadelphia, he was
suddenly taken i'll and was hurried
away to Passavant hospital. dag
nosis disclosed an abscess in the head
and Thursday afternoon an operation
was performed. 1t was all to no avail,
however, for the inflammation passed
to the brain, and he sank rapidly till
his untimely death last evening. AT
his deathbed were his wife and daughs
ter, Esther, who are his sole survivors.
DR.. L. G.. Abrahamson, who was also
confined at the hospital as result of
his nearly fatal accident on the streets
of Philadelphia, was the last Of his
friends of the ministry who saw DR..
Holmes alive. At the time when he
saw him last Friday DR.. Holmes was
in the best of spirits and did not think
il was more than a severe attack OF
neuralgia.
Prominent Swedish-Americnn.
DR.. Ludwig Holmes IT'S one of the
prominent Swedish-American church
men OF the United States. He was
born in Strofvelstorp, Skone. Sweden,
Sept I, 1858. and came 70 this country
in 1879. From this year 10 1886 he was
a student of AUgustana college and OF
the theological seminary. During this
period he spent more than year do
ing missionary work in Connecticut,
and he was one Of the pioneers in this
work After his ordination TO the min
istry in 1856, he became pastor at
Grosvenordale, Conn. later moving to
jamestown, y. Y, Burlington, Iowa,
Portland, Conn, and Evanston, H.,
which last charge he has had since
1908 While pastor at Burlington. DR..
Holmes was a member Of the board OF
directors of Augustana college and
served for a time as president OF the
board. At the time of his death he
was a member of the board of direct
ors of Uppsala college, Kenilworth, n.
J., also of the Immigrant home at
New York and OF Augustana hospital
in Chicago.
DR.. Holmes had an international rep
utation as a poet. His two volumes Of
poems are perhaps the best known OF

Under the arrangements which
brought about this bank the univer-
sity agreed to keep SUMS of money for
the undergraduates for their benefit
without giving any interest. SUMS OF
varying denominations have been pour
ing in, and an elaborate voucher sys-
TEN has been devised TO keep all the

Getting Ready for Tree Planting
r. w. FISHER

fruit trees will be planted this
spring few suggestions in regard
to preparing land for orchard
planting may be OF value to the
prospective planters. Much of
the semi arid land in the west has
small amount of humus in it
and for that reason it is not the
best plan to set out trees on new
ly broken sod. By blowing the
land from eight to ten inches
deep one or two years in advance
of planting time and growing
some crop in the meantime, 1t
will be put in much better condi-
tion for tree growth than if the
trees are set out Immediately af-
ter blowing. On land that is to
be irrigated the ground should be
carefully leveled and smoothed
before any crops are planted.
This leveling is very essential to
good results in irrigating. On
most of the soil in this country a
leveler ten or twelve feet wide
and from sixteen to eighteen feet
long with three cross pieces of
three by SIX inch material will
give good service. This leveler
can be so made that it will cut
the dirt from the high spots and
deposit it in the low places, and
by going over the ground two or
three times the surface can be put
in good condition for irrigation.
Leveling should be done immedi-
ately after blowing when the soil
can be harrow I'd and planted to
some grain crop.
A good crop to be grown on
the land that is to be painted 10
orchards is oats and red clover.
The oats and clover seed are
sown in the spring; the oats har-
vested in the fall when there will
be growth OF six or ght inches
of clover This " aft lrd pas
turage during the winter months
and the following year one crop
OF clover hay can be cut and the
second crop plowed under THIS
clover and oat crop should pro-
vide humus that IS very necessary
for tree growth. On many of our
soils an orchard planted on lard
prepared a year or two in advance
OF tree planting will make as
large growth IN eight or ten
years as trees that were planted
one or two years previous on land
that had not eoeived the prelimi.
nary preparation.
The depth OF glowing orchard
soils depends somewhat upon the
character of the soil and the sub
soil. In very loose soil underlaid
with light subsoil I is not neces
sary to pillow SO deeply as on soil
underlaid with heavy clay. Light
soils may be plowed as shallow as
six inches and still give good re-
suits. Heavy soils should be
plowed from eight to twelve
inches deep and in some cases
subsoiled to depth of eighteen
or twenty inches. II the soil is
dry at planting time the trees
should be irrigated Immediately
after they are set out. This irri-
cation should be done by making
small furrow near the tree row
and turning the water from the

TWO LITTLE TOTS
ASK WHEN DADDY
IS COMING HOME
Mother, Rubbing Out Her Life at
dashboard, Tells Them New
Story Each Day.

"DadL." has been away ever since
the younger one of the lads was born,
but every little while when Mrs. Alice
Carrigan, of II North Sixth street. Is
fucking two roly-poly youngsters in
their cot she has to tell them a new
story why Daddy doesn't come home.
1t is getting to be a pretty hard task
to invent a new story so often, but The
strength of mother love helps Mrs.
Carrigan out, and she is determined
that her children will enjoy hope
and the faith in their father of which
h has been deprived through four
long. bitter years.
-Four years ago Joseph Carrigan, a
steel-worker, des ,rted his wife and
their elk children. Two of these. Frank,
aged 4, and Joe, 6 years old, still be
1ieve he will return. The otherJ, older,
and the worn mother, have tried to
hope, but it has been a losing fight.
Only a week ago Mrs. Carrigan caught
a glimpse of her husband on a Bloom
field trolley car, but before she could
reach him and plead with him to help
her a her battle with poverty Carrigan
bounded away. The heart-broken wife
believes he is still in Newark. II
daily seeks him in the hope she may
induce him to come back to his babies.
Injured In Trolley Accident.
Just before his disappearance Car
rigan and three friends were injured in
a trolley accident. The morning he loft
he went to the offices of the Pubic
Service to make a settlement of Q
damages. Whether he went away
rather than use the money he received
in making his family more comfortable
or hacarao hic mind had boon "a fTapt al
by his injury. Mrs. Carrigan has never
been sure. She only knows that her
heart yearns for him and her babies
cry because he never returns.
Since the disappearance Mrs. Carri-
gar has supported herself and the chill
dren only through the hardest sort of
toll. Daily she has to cav the chill
dren and go out washing" She does
not complain of her own hard lot. but
her heart bleeds when she sees the
anguish of her children.
we V been married many years
said Mrs. Carrigan last night when
Joe was at home we got along finely.
AS a husband he was all a wife could
wish. He was one of the best men I
ever knew, and try as I may I cannot
understand why he went away. 1t is
pretty hard for US. for besides taking
care Of the young ones I must do wash
ing for several families, and one Of the
girls works at the Clark mills. She is
not very strong and has a pretty hard
time OF 1t. If Joe only knew how
much we need him"
The woman turned a wan face to the
crib where the two little fellows were
sleeping. Sleep had come hard at night,
for the mother could only sob and kiss
her darlings when they demanded the
eason Pop" had not come home.

jury will nave before them employees
OF the Wolf Company and witnesses of
the scenes at the fire that snuffed out
twenty-four human lives.
On Tuesday afternoon the coroner's

real inquiry into the disaster, as it is
understood that the present grand jury,
which will be discharged a week from

the facts to make a proper ~presentment
TO Chief Justice Gummere on their dis
I charge.

1.-THE county prosecutors force of de-
kectives have been working hard all
week and are in possession of number
less facts, n also have any number
of eyewitnesses, both those who
worked inside the burned building and
those who were eyewitnesses from the
outside"
What is the grand jury going to
do?" was asked Mr.. Lehlbach.
81 don't know what they a do.
They will be discharged from duty
before the coroner's inquest is finished,
and therefore will not have an oppor-
tunity to obtain tho evidence secured
by the coroner's inquest. All that evil
dence will go before the new grand
Jury, which will be sworn in on De-
cember 49,"
Mr.. Lehlbach said he could not say
inst what line Of investigation would
be taken up first. II will have a long
talk with Prosecutor Mott Monday"
he said. land we will go exhaustively
into every phase of the case and then
determine just what line of inquiry We
will take up first"
Further Mr.. Lehlbach said there
would be no delays after the inquest
started on Tuesday. He declared that
enough witnesses had been lined up to
carry the inquiry through to compile
