Napoleon commissioned him to organ

audacious friend.
So young Schulmeister entered the

barely thirty. He showed considerable
skill in watching the doings of the
emigres in Germany. He it was who
traced the unfortunate Due d'Enghien

REV. j. R. OLSON
|. WILL NOT ACCEPT
Word from Portland, Ore,
States Western Minister
Cannot Come.

Rev A. F. Bergstrom has received a
letter from Portland, Ore, in which
Rev. J. Richardson Olson of that city
declines to accept the call recently
rendered him to come to Moline and
act as superintendent of the Angus
tana Lutheran hospital. The call was
sent to Mr.. Olson more than month
ago, but as he is pastor in one Of the
largest Swedish churches in the west
and his parishioners refuse to accept
his resignation, the Portland minister
has decided to remain in that city.
There are a number of other good
men in view to take this position and
they will be thoroughly investigated
before any further calls are sent.
Mr.. Bergstrom said today that the
plan now under consideration is to
erect a 100000 building on the old
Barnard site to contain 125 hospital
wards. Up to date about $4,000 has
been secured, including the amount
raised by the canvass made by the
Greater Moline committee. Raising Of
funds has begun in other cities ana
towns of the Rock Island district.
