A Plan to Concentrate Upon One First
Glass Iowa College.

A Plan to Concentrate Upon One First
Class Iowa College.
Dies MONIES, Ia, March 26.-The pre-
siding elders of the four Methodist con-
ferences of this state, had an important
meeting here the past week. The gem
eral purpose of their convention was to
consider the various interests of the
church, and one especial object was to
take steps for a central state university,
There are now four Methodist colleges
in the state. None of them measure up
to the standard of an eastern col
lege, and some of them are pretty
weak. 1t has long been the dream
of the more progressive and
far-sighted Methodists of Iowa
to unite their educational forces into one
strong school, located at the capital.
Such o university, if it were the only one
under Methodist patronage in the state,
could be made a school of great and COM
manding influence. There are over so,
600 Methodists in Iowa, and as the lead
ing denomination they are entitled to
have a irst-class college, but they haven't
one yet. 1t would be a great undertake
ing to have these four small colleges
unite for n large university, but it
would be a good thing for education, and
the educational interests of this church,
if it We're done.

amount of the stolen bonds and unsigned

g party or accomplish, but that his infor-
nation came inathe form of q confession
from the real murderer The letter hes
created quite a sensation in this city, and

strip is to constitute q land district, and
the land office is to be located at Beaver.
Necessary surveys shall be made under

in tracts not exceeding 100 acres, under
the homestead laws only. Reservations
