1c0onolG SolleGe.
A MOVEMENT Is on foot to establish
an Icelandic Lutheran College in this
northwest country, and there is
considerable rivalry in different
neighborhoods in this county and in
Manitoba for Its location, Crystal has
made very liberal offer Of . cash bonus
and valuable site. tits not improbable
that the site could be gotten for Penn,
bina, II our own business men would
take up the matter as we have . large
Icelandic population here who would
be glad to- have 1t here. The college
would attract students from all over
the Northwest and In other parts Of
the United States. While it would
be under the management Of the Ice
landic Lutheran Church. it would be
Q college in all respects and just as
valuable and available to students of
other creeds or Dstlonallties as to
those Of Icelandic birth or religion.
Rev. Jones Sigurdsson is financial
agent Of the proposed college, and We
think 1t q matter Of interest TO our
people to consult with him % to Whist
inducements!it would be necessary to
secure the location here.

Gal contest over the location Of the
Crawford county seat was finally

cision holding the law constitutional
which allowed the change OF the
county seat from Leavenworth 10

growing more and more intense ior
wears. and in 1889 the town secured
the passage of a law by the legs

county seat from Leavenworih pp~

Mr.. shipperd Explains.

Cleveland, Sept. 9-John ]. Shipperd, the
we'll known capitalist of this city and for
merly president of the Consolidated Electric
Railway company of Fort Wayne, Ind,
positively denies that he diverted $1,5OO,OOO
in bonds belonging to the co lpany, as al
legged in a petition praying for receiver,
which was filed yesterday. THE charge Is
untrue" said Mr.. Shipperd Frank De
Haas Robson placed the bonds in my
hands to sell. l had the deal all fixed up
before the money stringency came. The
bonds were to be sold in Cleveland, Boston,
Philadelphia and other cities. When the
money market got so tight the parties re-
fused to take the bonds and that is the
cause of the trouble with the road"
