Penn COLLEGE N LUCK
Marshall County Farm OF 24O
Acres Presented to the
Friends School.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Raley. of
Bangor, Gives College
Absolute Title.
Aged Couple Has No Children.
Are Among Old Settlers
Of the County.

Penn College, the leading Institution
of learning of the Iowa Friends and
| which has its location in Oskaloosa, is
| the recipient of a valuable gift from
an aged Marshall county couple, and
comes into possession of 2,l0 acres of
Marshall county land of the value of at
least SIS, 600. Those who have made this
gift to the educational institution OF
their faith are Mr.. and Mrs Robert
Raley, who reside three miles vast of
Bangor in Liberty township.
| President A. Rosenberger and Finan-
cial Agent E. H. Clifford. OF Penn Col
llege, were in the city Thursday and met
Mr.. and Mrs Raley here in order to re-
ceive the gift, which came from the
donors without solicitation, Mr.. Raley
having been the first to suggest his de-
sires in disposng of a portion of mis- es-
tate. Mr.. and Mrs. Raley owned 3s0
acres in one tract in Liberty township.
and on Thursday they decided 240 acres
to the college without condition, except
that there is an oral understanding that
the property shall be the nucleus for an
other endowment fund of at leas- $780,
600. The college management recently
completed an endowment fund Of like
amount.
Robert and Martha T. Raley are
among the carly settlers OF Marshall
county. One hundred and sixty acres
of the tract has never been transferred
since government deed was secured
about the year 1858, Mr.. Rslley having
entered that amount as a homestead In
that early day. Mr.. Raley and his good
wife were industrious and accumulated
adjoining tracts of land. NO children
blessed their union, however, and they
considered that under these circum-
stances the diverting Of a portion OF
their fortune to educational work would
accomplish the greatest good. Nh
Raley Is now 73 years OF age. In the
deed Of record filed Thursday the con-
sideration is given at $l2.00ll, but the
land is worth at least $65 per acre, or
total OF $l5600. Whether or not the
property viii be converted into cash by
the college or allowed to stand IN the
title OF the school and the revenues al
lowed to accumulate has not been de-
termined upon by the officers of the in
stitution.
In reply to the words Of gratitude ex-
tended to Mr.. and Mrs. Raley by Pres
ident Rosenberger and Agent Clifford
Mr.. Raley replied: II feel very era,
full for the opportunity to divert my
property where 1t will do good.

INDIANS BEING GUARDED.
Mayor Jones Investigates Conditions al
&ha lama Reservation.

Mayor Jones Investigates Conditions at
the Tama Reservation.
Mayor L. B. Jones. who visited Tama
and Toledo Thursday for the purpose Of
inyestigatingsthe quarantine regulations
put in force, in order to determine
whether or not action on the part OF
the Marshalltown health authorities
would be necessary, returned home sat
isfied that there is no reason to feel
alarm in this city because OF the out
break of smallpox among the indians OF
the Sac and Fox tribe.
The authorities OF both Tama and To-
;edo have established guards between
those cities and the reservation and no
Indians are allowed to leave In that d.
rection The cooperation of the chief
of the tribe, Push -To-Nek. and of the
other Indians of influence has been Sc
cured and promises have been obtained
that all the Indians, about 400 In num-
Der, will be kept on the reservation The
chief has sent his runners out to notify
the various families encamped on diff
ferent partitions of the four sections of
land embodied in the reservation not to
leave their lands and 1t is thought that
all will comply.
The Indians express their Willingness
to obey the quarantine regulations 80
long as they are treated right by their
white brothers and are furnished with
food. Some of the red men seem to be
worried for fear they will be starved,
but means will be provided for supply
ing them with food, even If the nearby
towns have to furnish 1t. The situation
has been reported to the government
authorities, and $50 vaccine points have
been forwarded. There may be trouble
when the attempt is made to vaccinate
the Indians in the camps where the die
ease has existed.
Mayor Jones learned that the disease
had been on the reservation about four
weeks. Many of the Indians have
known what 1t was. but kept quiet
about It, On being questioned regard
ing the cause of death of the five who
have died. they gave various reasons.
saying two had died with consumption,
another with blood poisoning, etc. 1t
seems that the chief three weeks ago
had his children vaccinated, and that he
himself is suffering with a very sore
arm.
The Indians claim that the disease
was brought to the reservation by a
buck of the Winnebago tribe in Kan
sas who visited them several weeks
ago, and that the Winnebagos sent the
disease to them with malice afore-
thought in order to secure revenge for
some imagined wrong.
