Lun-delL lSlh st. CLAIMS VICTIM Another Sacrifice to the Operation of Trains Through the Heart of the City Herman Miller Killed. WALKS UNDER THE GATE Takes Risk of Crossing Tracks While Switch Train Is Standing over Part of the Street. Another life was sacrificed to the grade crossings of the city Saturday evening when Herman A. Miller was almost instantly kiled by a string of cars pushed by a switch engine at the west side of Fifteenth street about 9 o'clock." Miller, in company "with Louis Piper of 2117 Seventh avenue, was walking north on Fifteenth street at that hour, and finding the gates down and the crossing partially block ed by a switch engine and cars, follow ed the all-too-frequent custom of pedestrains in haste at this corner of stooping under the gates and walking out on to the track.

The engine and cars at that moment were stationary and the last car of the string was standing over the east end of the crossing. The gates vere down and the flagman, Peter Aukeler, was waving his lantern and calling to the people who were on the street to wait till the train had pulled away before crossing the tracks. Takes the Risk; Dies. Like many others, Piper and Miller thought the risk too slight to warrant waiting, and they started forward. Piper crossed the track at the end of the car, and then turned just in time to see Miller at the end of the last car as it movew west with a jerk.

Miller was struck before he could cross, and though his companion made a desperate effort to sieze and pull him from danger, he was not successful. Tho uirfotrunate man fell to the ground and under the car. The wheels of one truck passed over his chest, grinding the ribs and collar bones to bits and severing the windpipe. The train was stopped within a distance of ten feet, but too late to save Miller's life. The ambulance was called and the remains were taken to the undertaking parlors of E.

B. Knox. Coroner L. V. Eckhart was notified and an inquest was held at the police station Sunday forenoon.

The verdict of the jury impanelled was that Miller met his death by being struck by a Rock Island switch train at the Fifteenth-street crossing. The gates were down and no blame was attached in the verdict. 34 Years Old and Single. Herman Miller was born in Sweden 34 years ago but had lived in Moline for the last twenty-four years. He was a son of Mr.

and Mrs. Gust Miller and lived with his parents. He wes a single man, an employe in the black smith shops of Deere Mansur Co. Beside his parents he leaves to mourn him two brothers, Charles in this city, and J. In Lawrence, also one sister, Miss Betty Miller.

Uncle Killed on Crossing. It was a strange fancy of fate that Miller's uncle, Frank Miller, the tailor, should have met his death at a grade crossing, having been killed at Twentieth street a year and a half ago. The funeral service will be held from the home tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock pud the Rev. C. A.

Hemborg will officiate. Esterdahl has the funeral in charge. Rudolph Toll of Boston will give a clarinet recital in Unity Hall, Davenport, tomorrow evening, Oct. 4, at 8 o'clock. Assisting artists: Miss Pauline Woltman, mezzo contralto; Mrs.

Sxulti ana Utiaraiktced by E. HB1MECK. TO CONGREGATION Pastor Hemborg Bids Good-Sye to the People He Has Served for Twelve Yeare Great Throng Fills the Church. HIS LOSS FAR-REACHING Illinois Conference without a Presi dent M. Holmberg Speaks in Farewell.

The Rev. C. A. Hemborg, pastor of tne aweaisn LiUtlieran cnurcn, aenver- ed his farewell sermon Sunday to his congregation and bade a fervent good bye to the people among whom he has labored so 'earnestly during the last twelve years. The church was filled to the doors, many whom even a Christ mas festival might not attract having been drawn to hear the words of part ing and feeling a genuine regret at the thought of the severing of the ties.

Dr. Hemborg today said his good-Dyes to his friends among the newspaper workers, and with the gentle modesty characteristic of the nature which has won universal love for him in and out of his church, he spoke in this strain of his labors in this field "It is little that I have done here. The work is great, but I have done little," a humble estimate of himself bespeaking the character of the man, who makes no adequate estimate of the greatwork he has done. Came Hers 12 Years Ago. Pastor Hemborg came here from Dayton, Iowa, and twelve years ago the coming Sunday lie preached his first sermon as pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church.

Since the beginning of his work in this field, the "Walker's station church has been organized, the Zion Lutheran and the Grace Lutheran churches have been launched. All drew on the membership of the older church, and yet as he leaves the pulpit there are a hundred more communicants than at the time he took charge in Moline. His farewell sermon was one which will linger long in the memory of the people from whom he departs. He thanked them all for the pleasant home which he had found in Moline and in his congregation. He spoke of the prism with its three sides, which has done so much to reveal the wonders of the universe, and pointed out to his people a spiritual prism in the text, "We as Christians standing before the Lord Jesus Christ, wo as Christians standing before the angels and we as Christians standing as last face to face with our Father in Heaven." Conference Loses President.

Dr. Hemborg departs tomorrow eve-1 ning with his family for Strombers, Neb. In his leaving, the local chinch not alone suffers. TheJllincis confer-; ence loses its president, for in locating at Stromberg, Dr. Hemborg moves into a new conference.

F. L. Under ofi Marquette, vice president, will act as president till next spring, when the annual meeting of the conference is to be held. K. M.

Holmberg Says Farewell: K. M. Holmberg spoke a few words of farewell at the song service in the evening. He departs soon for Gladstone, to enter the ministerial field, devoting part of his time to the church there and the rest to mission work for the Illinois conference board. Dr.

C. E. Lindberg, of the college, meets with the church council Wednesday evening after the regular service and his reply to the request that he fill the local pulpit till Nov. 13, when Dr. Johnston comes from St.

Paul, will then be given. SOCIAL NOTES. The first ball' and oyster supper of the season by the C. G. Turverein of Moline was given Saturday night at Turner hall.

HALF PREMIUMS OF YEAR Amount Depends cn Policies Written in This City Plan Successful in Minneapolis. A meeting of Moline lodge of Elks is called for tomorrow evening to discuss the rlan of the Minnesota National Life Insurance Co. to assist in building an opera house for Moline. The company merely seeks the cooperation of the Ell.s in its effort to do a good business in writing policies la Moline and promises in return for the support piven to donate to the Elks one-half of the amount of the first year's premiums on policies written here. Successful in Minneapolis.

The Minnesota eompsny accoir.plish- ed a similar project In Minneapolis. where $1, 000.000 in insurance was written, on half the premiums from which a large office building and audi torium was erected, The plan suggested has appealed to the members cf the Elks lodre to such a extent that it has been considered cf enough consequence to investigate. It has been suggested that part of the jfund necessary for the erection of an opera house might be raised through the insurance company and the remainder through the sale cf tickets under the auspices of the loue. Stir Up Local Pride. A a result of the fathering of the plan by the local lodge.

It is probo-ble that the project would stimulate a degree of patriotism and local prida that could not be gained at all through a private enterprise.
