To Move Island Inn.-The owners
of Campbells island have definitely
decided to move the House-in-the-
Woods to the channel side of the is
land. Bids will be advertised for
within a few weeks. The plan is to
move the inn at a point along the
shore between the monument and the
bathing beach. The inn will be set
on high concrete walls and possibly
extend little into the water. This
change will be appreciated by all
who patronize the island. The inn
is located in a rather uncomfortable
place on the island during the hot
days of the summer as the lay is a
little low and the trees surrounding
the inn prevent the cool air of the
river from reaching it. When the
N &c olo
will not only prove cooler but more
pleasant to visitors.

Refuse a SettIement.-C. S. Kerns, |
receiver for the Moline Building,
and Loan association stated
that three or four contrary persons
who insist in refusing to accept the
agreement of the majority of the |
stockholders, are the only hindrances |
standing in the way of a prompt set |
Element of the business in his hands. |
These three or four persons are
causing him more trouble at the |
present time than did the ninety !
and nine" who signed the agreement |
and resigned themselves to the inev- |
table. All possible inducements |
within legal bounds have been offer !
ed the hold offs but the effort has
so far been to no avail. Just as soon |
as Mr.. Kerns can get the matter of |
the first dividend off his hands prep |
arations for the issuance of the sec
ond dividend will be made.
