missionary taking up that most diff
cult ana seemingly unfruitful work.
About nine or ten years ago Mrs. I. M.
Sinclair, Of Cedar Rapids, with deep
conviction OF the need OF an uplift for
this people, was moved to action by
furnishing most OF the money to build
the commodious quarters so we'll
known as the Indian mission just on
this side of the reservation. And thus
the work has gone on step by step. The
Woman's Missionary societies of the
Presbyterian churches in Iowa have
very largely and sometimes wholly
furnished the means for maintaining
the work from year to year.
Indians have held tenaciously to
their own religious convictions, but lit
tie by little the seed of truth has been
sown. Not much of fruitage is seen
and yet may 1t not be that this work
has had more OF an Influence than we
mostly give credit for? Most of the
younger and middle-aged women have
learned to use the sewing machine and
appreciate its value. Two families
within the past year have purchased
machines for themselves.
| In an interview with Mr.. G. A.
Reaugh, the present missionary, we
llearn that in single year 1850 calls
were made at the mission building by
the Indians and when your correspond
ent asked what they called for he, was
4 told for various and sundry reasons
some to do sewing, some to write let
ters, others to have letters written
some for medicines for ailments, sick
ness sores, etc, some just for friend
| Iy call. some asking the missionary to
go and see an afflicted or sick one, STOP
in to warm In winter, to rest and get 8
drink perhaps, and many such cal
lhas given the missionary the opportu-
nifty to sing gospel song and speak
kind word. Again, we asked. do yot
visit them in their wickiups often?

COUSINS AT NEVADA.
NEVADA REPRESENTATIVE

The speech of Mr. Cousins was
worthy of the occasion and the audi
ence. This was his first visit here and
he was total stranger to all but a
very few Nevada people; but his repu-
tation as legislator and as an orator
is such that much was expected of him,
and expectation was in no wise disap-
pointed. Mr.. Cousins, be it said is
about 40 years of age, is serving his
fourth term in congress and is recog-
nized as one of the strong members OF
the Iowa delegation, which delegation
is notable for its strength and influence
He is large of stature, makes favor
able impression on first acquaintance
and strengthens the impression as ac-
quaintance grows.

This has been year of unprece-
denied prosperity for Newton-our

of the country in the growth made pos
sible by the return of good tines
through McKinley's election and the
success of republican principles. Mr..
Downs tells us that the building re-

sixty new houses have been erected
since the opening of spring than
in any one year in the history of New

reach the 100000 mark.
