Messrs. Il. K. Simmons, ). J. Willard
and Ct,as. Peterson, the committee Of
the Scandinavian association for effect
ing "a settlement Of their countrymen
in the western part Of this State, APP
pointed for the purpose Of making IL
bargain with the st. Paul & Sioux CITY
railroad >mpAny, at ended to that duty
last week and succeeded in procuring
from the company a very liberal and
advantageous offer, which they will
recommend the association to accept.
The committee was accompanied to st.
Paul by Messrs. p. Nelson, II. Olson,
J. HaWkinson, Alfred Carlson and An
drew Danielson, members OF the socie-
ty, who, with Mr.. Peterson, of the COM
mittee, went thence West to view the
lands and select a location. After WIS.,
iting various places they finally con-
cluded that body Of land in the south
west part Of Cottonwood and extend
ing into Jackson. Murray and Mobiles
counties, was preferable to amy other
they had seen, and accordingly select
ed forty-four sections there. This has
- black loamy soil with clay subsoil.
Limestone rock is found upon the tract
in considerable quantities; the land is
gently rolling and good water abounds.
1t is near the railroad, and at Heron
| Lake village the railroad company
promises to build all elevator and afford
facilities for shipping produce and re-
ceiving supplies.
One circumstance which very much
miltgates this misfortune is that so
far as tho examination progressed,
II Hh:rg WAS shown to justify the bc-
lief that any serious grounds of com
| plant exist against the management
of the observation-disclosures Press.
This is tie conclusion Of IN article
upon the insane asylum matter. In
common with the press of the State
and the pubic generally, we think there
is very serious ground of complaint a.
gainst the management. That the bru-
tality Of Belts could go on for an indefi-
mite period in the institution and that
instruments of torture are used which
it is made a crime to use in England,
shows that the management were eth
or approving the cruelty or were Grim
inally negligent in permitting it to go
on. Let us have no withdrawing. n
