Augustanna: It's Story.

Augustana college and theological
seminary was founded in 1860. It be
longs to the older institutions of the
state. At a meeting in Chicago, in
April, 1860, the founders of the Aug
ustana synod decided to erect a col
lege where young men could prepare
for the great work then to be done
IN upbuilding this western country.
April q, when the resolutions organ
izing the college were passed, is OBJ
served as Founders day throughout
the synod, and is made the occasion
of great festivities.
DurIng the first three years of it's
existance, Augustana has located at
Chicago. Prof. l.. p Esbjorn being
president. The prairies were then be-
coming populated, and from all sides
came offers of land and other induce
ments to secure the location of the
college. Paxton settlement was sue
cessful. and in 1863 the institution
was removed there. There were IL
successful years at Paxton, under the
guidance of President T n. Hassel-
quist. The institution was constantly
increasing. and new teachers being
cAhCu ALIOllB THESE WAS GIOI. henry
Reck. of Pennsylvania, who gave the
best part of his life to the develop
ment of the college, and left a name
universally revered by those who
knew him.
As the institution at Paxton grew.
the conviction was forced on the au-
thorities that the location was not cen
trail enough. The Mississippi confer
ence. the embryo Augustana synod.
met in Moline in 1853, and the mem
bers were much impressed with the
advantages of Rock Island and Moline
for the college site. A few desired to
return the institution to Chicago. but
the majority favored the Mississippi
valley. Finally a piece of property.
midway between Rock Island and Mo
line, within the boundaries of Rock
Island, was secured for college pur-
poses. A few friends assembled on
the forest covered hill and as they
prayed for the success of the institu-
ton, they thought of Zion and the
hill was given this name, which it still
bears
In 1875 the first students arrived
from all parts of the country, Prof
Hasselquist being then president. with
Prof Reck vice president. Though the
quarters were not then ready, the stu
dents were soon in the most comfort
able quarters they up to that time had
had. Augustana college is owned and
supported by the Evangelical Luther

lea While it is. therefore, a denomi
national institution, and as such aims
to serve, primarily. the interests OF
the Lutheran church. its doors are
open To all who desire a liberal edu
cation based on the Christian reiig-
ion and permeated by Christian spir-
it, In the remarkably adaptable sur
roundings the institution has grown
up to be a first-class American col
lege. Offering courses and doing work
equal to the very best. The degrees
of A. b. and b. s. of the college are
recognized by such institutions as
Yale and Harvard, and by foreign uni
versities The academic. the normal.
and the college departments are all
in the foremost rank. while the conser-
vatory of music is considered of the
very best. Prof Bartholomew, instruc

The gates are not even ajar In tile
pipe-line controversy at Wilsonburg
between Mrs. James II. Morrison
and the Hutton Gas Company, but
have been closed and chained and
locked. This is the phase that pre-
scented itself between I and s o'clock
Monday evening. Surveyors on
either side bad been busy in the af-
ternoon locating corners and .boun-
diaries Of lots and an alley way. 1t
as stated that they agreed, or prac-
ideally did 50, and that Mrs. Nor
rison then took the matter into her
own hands. She got trace chains
and padlocks and chained and locked
the gate. While on the roadside
was the gas company's team with
one Of the well contractors, barred
completely from entering upon the
alley grounds, and Mrs. Morrison
was sitting near the gate screnclv
satisfied that there was to be no in
lruslon that evening. and. from the
way ContractorJ. V. Carter had his
arms folded, patiently waiting for
directions from the company it was
evident that he had no potion Of try
ing to open the gate.
Tuesday morning the gate was
still locked and not until the fore
noon was we'll gone was it opened.
The contractors were there, members
Of the gas company were on the
grounds and an array Of lawyers
brought up the crowd.
I After much parleying among
them ail and some sage advise by
counsel, an adjustment Of the differ
ences was arrived at and the gate
was flung wide open with an invi-
tation Of welcome.

nance. and il is asserted that the gas
company won out this time.

says that he spent the principal part
OF his tour abroad in France and

His travel was by automobile with
his host, Mr.. Watson. and that he
took in large number Of the cities
and towns of Southeastern France
and the adjoining parts of Switzer-
land, having stayed over week at
the great watering place of AK les

that it is the famous resort of many
OF the nobility and wealthy classes

money have been spent in the way
OF splendid hotels, fine bath houses
and various forms of amusement
Some of its medicinal waters are
very fine, and were used by the Ro.

Secretary of War to Be AbSo-

WILL NOT BE HAMPERED
Says if Responsibility Rests on Him
He Must Have Free Hand-WiII
Report only to President
RooseVelt.

A Washington special says: Secre-
tary Taft will sail on naval vessel
from New Orleans for Panama about
November /. 1t is not his intention
to remain very long on the isthmus,
his main object being to talk with
Governor Magoon and Engineer Ste
vens and to look over the situation
as it now exists in the way of con-
struction and preparation.
At the conference with the resi-
dent engineer when it was decided
to leave the administration of the ca
nal in the war department, Secretary
Taft made it plain that if he was to
have the responsibility for the canal
he would be supreme in its man
agement, and there would be no in
termediary between himself and the
president.
The. secretary win take absolute
charge of all the important business
transactions regarding the constrlGc-
ton and it's management, operating
through the isthmian commission
A dispatch from Colon says: The
members of the advisory board of the
consulting engineers of the Panama
canal devoted the whole of Monday
to an examination of the Empire
Culebra cut, going over the ground
and inspecting the dumps and the
work already accomplished and now
in progress.
The party of engineers, at the same
time, went to Panama to re-examine
the district around LaBoca and other
matters at the Pacific terminus of the
canal. Later in the afternoon the par
ty went to the canal offices at Pana-
ma, where they examined the canal

tally those bearing on the localities
