DECLINES OFFER
AS FIELD WORKER
Rev. S. M. Miller Will Not Ac-
cept Place rendered by
Augustana Synod.

Rev. S. NJ. Miller. pastor of Trinity
Lutheran church of this city, has de
cided against accepting the proffered
place as English field secretary for
the Augustana synod. He has forward
ed his declination to Dr. L. \. John
stcn of St. Paul, head of the synod.
Mr.. Miller decided that his work
here is more important than that
which he would be called upon to per
form as field secretary. He has been
engaged since coming to Moline large
ly in organizing the work and his eff
forts are now bearing fruit. He feels
that he should complete this task, al
least, before going TO other fields.
Augustana synod now has one field
secretary. F. o. Hanson, but il was
felt that the work has become of suf-
fcient Importance to demand the time
of two men and hence the offer to the
Moline pastor. The declination will
be acted upon at the meeting of the
mission board of the synod which will
be held in Rock Island Nov Il.

HER $50 IN BILLS
REDUCED TO ASHES
Silvis Woman Hid Money in
Furnace and Somebody
Else Makes a Fire.

If the treasury department at Wash
ington is able to decipher the mark
ings of a certain collection of ashes
with sufficient clearness to establish
the nature Of the articles which were
burned, a Silvis woman will be $50
ahead. Otherwise, she will be out
that sum because she failed to place
her trust and keep her money in
banks.
The name of the woman has not
been made public. but the ashes have
been sent to Washington by the Peo-
pies bank, the consignment being still
in the empty baking powder can in
which they were burned.
1t was the old mistake OF placing
the money in the stove which brought
the Silvis woman to her present pre-
dicament. The stove in this case hap
pened TO be the furnace. When the
banks last summer demanded that so
days notice be required before with
drawal OF savings deposits this woman
served the notice and when the limit
expired she took out $50, placed the
bills, three twenties and two tens, in
the can and hid it in the furnace.
When the first cool weather came
some other member of the family
built fire and by the time the lady
Of the house bethought herself of her
cash it had been reduced TO ashes.
1t is claimed that the treasury de-
partment is able by some sort of chem
zeal process 10 bring out the lettering,
even in the ashes, and it is upon the
efficiency of this process that the Sill
Wis woman now pins her hope.

ace TO Public Health.

That the city Of Moline has other
uses for its funds, has nothing TO give
in aiding the Rock Island County HUI
name society, was the position taken
by the city commission at its meeting
today. Two weeks ago the society
presented a petition asking for 5000,
the same sum as the supervisors of
the county have donated to the cause.
Today the commission discussed the
matter and finally voted unanimously
10 refuse the request on the ground
that il had no funds which it felt
justified in using for this purpose
Property owners in the vicinity of
Third avenue between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets presented a petition
to the council asking that the Lundahl
Bros Fuel company be prevented
from erecting its proposed coal chute
in its yards at the point indicated.
They claimed that the chute, because
of the dust it would set free, would
be a menace TO the health Of the
neighborhood and would detract from
property values all about it.
Some time ago the commission
granted the company the right TO lay
a switch track across Twelfth street
10 reach the site of the proposed chute
and it was agreed then that the COM
pany should secure the consent of own
ers of abutting property before put
ting up the chute.
