Mcpherson, Jan. 2s.-The Orleans
Seminary which has been located at
Orleans, Neb, will locate at McPher-
son, Kan, and the deal for the new
site has been closed.
Abilene was in the race for the col
lege but they wanted a reverting
clause in the deed to the grounds they
proposed to give to the church and
Mcpherson simply offered them $5S,-
900 building for $4,000 and raised
1000 cash besides for dormitory and
the trustees naturally chose McPher-
son. This gives them a more central
location for their school and just
about what they wanted. At one time
they favored Concordia but the in
ducements were not good enough for
them. They looked farther into Abb
lene and Mcpherson and chose the
latter place.
The Orleans school is supported by
the Free Methodist church and is a
splendid Institution.

ture members Of the club are found.
