TWO FLATTER1NG OFFERS MADE
Mount Pleasant Realizes School May
Be Lost to Town One Plan In.
cludes Big Land Deal.

Mount Pleasant, Nov. ia spec.
ial meeting of the board of trustees
of Iowa Wesleyan College was held
yesterday to consider the future o.
the school, which is the Oldest west
of the Mississippi river. The first
act of the board was to confer with
a committee of five business men Of
| this city. This committee affirmed
the intense loyalty Of Mount Pleas
ant to the college. They dwelt up
on the sacrifices the town had made
to the school in the past and further
assured the board that the citizens
stood ready at this time to strain
their resources to the very limit to
meet any reasonable demands to in
sure the college remaining here per-
manently.
In the afternoon the real surprise
was sprung, and perhaps the one
that all thought it was anticipated
to certain degree, yet was consid-
cred by many to be largely a baseless
rumor. A delegation Of the leading
business of Ottumwa, appeared be-
fore the board and announced that
they had obtained an option upon a
tract of 254 acres of land in Ottum-
wa, with the view to locate Iowa
Wesleyan there. The committee eX-
planned the advantage of Ottumwa
as college center. 1t is the tenta-
tive plan of Ottumwa to reserve for
ty acres of this tract for the main
campus aid some twenty acres for an
athletic field. The balance will be
into lots, total of S00I
and sold. The car line will be ex-
tended, water and gas mains run on
to the new addition. Roads will be
graded and curbed and sidewalks
put in. The board told Ottumwa tina.
before removal could be thought
of a campus must be guaranteed and
the 500 lots underwritten at $500
each, or 100000. The second prop
osition to Ottumwa was to give the
school a campus, 100000 for
and 100000 for endow-
ment. This would mean school ot
totaling almost s1,O00,OOO.
