KNOWN TO MANY HERE


VIM. NJ. Reece, of Ottumwa, who
! was drowned Sunday afternoon neal
! kldon,- was well known to many Os
kaloosa people. He was closely as
sociated in a political way with the
late Major John F. Lacey. and often
visited in Oskaloosa. He inquired prom
inently in public life. In 1895 he was
appointed as clerk of the committee
on public lands in the house of repre-
sentatiyes at Washington, D. c.. and
he held this office for twelve years
He gained a wonderful knowledge of
legislative matters from his work and
this knowledge he later used in bet
tering the interests of Ottumwa.
In 1906 he carried to Washington a
petition asking Congress to establish
federal court in Ottumwa. He drafted
the bill in compliance with the re-
quest made in the petition by the Wap-
clio County Bar Association and 1t
was taken before Congress by Hon.
John F. Lacey who had secured the
appointment of Mr.. Reece.
He was next appointed by Secretary
of the Interior Garfield and President
Roosevelt to a position as special
agent for the general land Office and
he was established at Bismark, N ID.
After years service he was forced to
resign because of the i'll health of his
wife. They returned to Ottumwa and
Mrs. Reece passed away short time
later. w. e -"
In 1909 Mr.. Reece and his son Car
roll went west, They purchased a fruit
farm but sold it a year later and re-
turned to this city Mr. Reece then
began working on the acetylene gene
rator which he later perfected. He
then organized the Sunray Generator
co.
Mr.. Reece always had keen inter.
est in politics and his decisions were
fair. He was affiliated with the re-
publican party and but three weeks
ago he delivered the keynote address
at the Wapello County Republican
convention and was then appointed as
chairman Of the convention AS al
speaker he was we'll known.

WHY OUR COLLEGE
NEEDS 100000
STUDENTS GET MORE THAN TIL.
lTIoN PAYS FOR.
FIRE MAKES CASH IMPERITIvE
To Succeed All Must Give About Dou-
Bile the Amount Intended to Sub
scribe. And 1t Must Be
Done Now.

On April Goth, the Board of .Trus-
tees of Penn College met to consider
the affairs of the College and to de-
termine the steps necessary to in
crease her usefulness. They found an
annual deficit the building oyercrowd-
ed, more equipment needed in the
Laboratories and Girls Dormitory a
necessity. ++
They estimated that $4,000 would
be required to pay off the Indebtedness
and to provide a sustaining fund I'M
til receipts from the new endowment
might begin to come in; $115,000 for
new buildings, and that 100000 should
be added to-the endowment. Hence the
Board decided on a campaign for $780,
600. &h "
A committee, composed of one from
each of the five banks, appointed at a
citizens meeting on April Gath, in
their report say: I'VE find the expens-
es for the last five years have exceed
cd the income on an average of $500
per year, and also that the indebted
ness thus accumulated has been una
voidable and beyond the power of the
Management to change, without de.
stroying, In a considerable degree, the
efficiency of the College" a2r ~ t."
On May 9th, the main building was
destroyed by fire and most of the
equipment was lost; that of the Bio
logical Department was total loss
and only about one third of the Lii.
brary was saved. This made the stu
alton much more critical and the need
for funds more pressing. Before the
fire 100000 was needed; since then,
the need is imperative If the College
is to live and grow.
The following table was compiled
from data given in the world Alma.

new BRIDGE REQUIRED
AS a Preliminary Job Fot the Sewer
Improvements.

! Teams are being engaged and pre-
liminary organization effected for con
mencing aytive operations on con
struction OF the new sewer work north
east OF town Mr. r. label Is the fore
man in charge Of the job under the
! supervision of E. r. Tibbets of Kansas
City and both men are here giving di,
ERECTION to preliminaries. Mr.. label is
located at No. ia North Third street
and may be reached by phone, Green
I73S.
First off, Oskaloosa city has to in
stall a new bridge at the entrance Of
the ''scayenger grounds" where some
of the heavier hauling incident to con
struction will pass. The old bridge is
too frail to stand the strain and effort
toward making a suitable crossing
place over the creek discharging the
sewage into spring creek is now be-
ing directed. Mr.. label is engaged with
the city workers In erecting the bridge
and 1t will be completed and ready for
work within a few days. Upon the
completion of this little piece of pre-.
paredness, the opening of grading the
place for the disposal plant depends.
Work begins at he lower end OF the
job as in all sewer contracts and 1t
will be carried back to the place of
beginning, west OF Forest cemetery.
Home labor is being engaged TO
whatever extent is possible and 1t Is
likely that the greater part OF the la
Dor on the Job will be done by Oska-
ioosa workers and much OF the mon
ey paid for the contract viii be left
right here at home.

will be glad day for Oskaloosa, for
Mahaska County and for the friends
of Penn everywhere when the news
goes forth that Penn lives and that
her future and growth is assured.

Miss Flossie Glenn won the car

however the majority doesn't make
