WHITE GIRL AMONG INDIANS.
Heiress TO nm Estate In Stockholm
Identified In Montana By
Ring Bearing Her Name.

Chicago. April ia special to the
Record-Herald FROM Kalispel, Mont,
says: Mathilda Youngquist. long
thought TO be dead. heiress to large
estate at Stockholm, Sweden, has
been found living among Cree Indians
as Il member of the tribe. A gold
ring given her by her father and
mother, who were killed in raid by
the Crees many years ago, has estab-
lished her identity.
When John Anderson, a relative, APP
peared in this part of Montana year
ago and made inquiries for family
named foungquist no one could aid
him. Finally he met an old resident
who remembered that, many years
ago. Frank Ioungquist had tried to
operate ranch in the extreme north
ern part of the state near what is
now the Blackfoot reservation. One
day the ranch was raided by Cree In
dians, who killed Mr.. and Mrs. Young
quist and carried away their little
baby girl, Mathilda, then four years
of age. Anderson, Tuesday, met the
girl with a band of Crees. She told
him she had been carried away by
the Indians after her father and her
mother had been killed and that since
then she had been with the Indians
and was the widow of member of
the band who was killed in snowslides
several weeks ago. She remembered
nothing of her parents, she said, ex-
cept that they were white like Ander-
son. All she had left to remember
them by was little gold ring.
There was an inscription OH the in
side of this ring, but as she could not
read she did not know what it was.
Anderson read the inscription, which
established the identity of the owner
of the ornament. 1t reads: ITO Ma
thilda from Papa and Mamma Young
quist, 1885, Anderson and the girl
will go to Sweden Immediately.

Taylor, on Monday, received informa'

lures had left Snyder's Point, Wee
hawken, n. j. Here some of the east
ern sculptors have for some time
maintained an enlarging shop in
which the models were enlarged 20
the size required for the exposition
buildings.
All of the sculptures shipped are of
heroic size, from eight to twelve feet
in height, and most of them will be
shipped in several pieces. These
pieces were fitted together before
they were shipped, to guard against
mistakes; accordingly their restora.
tion at St. Louis will be easy. Among
the pieces shipped were:
Heroic seated figure destined for
the tympanum of the Machinery
building, modelled by +. Miranda and
enlarged by Guiseppi Pasta.
Two standing lions intended for the
two ends of the semicircular colon
made of the Varied Industries build
ing, by +. w. Ruckstuhl. These fig
ures are fourteen feet long, eight feet

IOWA CROP BULLETIN.
Condition in the State as Noted by
the Weather Bureau.

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 6.-The past
week was slightly warmer than usual,
with an excess of cloudiness and ram
fall in the larger part of the state.
About half the week conditions were
favorable for drying out well ripened
corn, and the belated portion of the
crop made fairly good progress 10
ward maturity. The greater part OF
the corn crop Of the state is now fully
matured, and with normal drying
weather goodly portion may be dry
enough to be cribbed by the 18th to
the goth of October. The output will
be unusually variable, ranging from
less than half an average up to some
record-brealling yields. The quality
and value for feeding and commercial
purposes will be materially above the
much larger total of 1902. Reports
indicate, that for the state at large,
from ten to fifteen per cent OF tie
crop is still green and immature, ex-
posed to some measure Of damage by
killing frosts, A week Of dry, warm
weather would ripen a considerable
part of the belated portion Of the crop,
though at best there is likely to be
somewhat more than an average per-
centage of soft and understandable
corn in the output of this abnormally
wet and cool summer.
