The Local Paper.

Governor Francis, of Missouri, who ap-
preciates the value of local paper, gives
the following reasons why it should be
patronized Every year the local papers
give from 500 to 81, 900 in free lines to
the community in which it is located. No
other agency can or will do this. The
editor, in proportion to his means, does
more for his county than any other ten
men; he ought to be supported, not be-
cause you like him and his writing, or not
supported because you don't like and dis
agree with his writings, but all should sup
port local paper because it is the best in
vestment community can make; it may
not be brilliantly edited or crowded with
thought; but financially it is of more benefit
to the community than the teacher or
preacher. And on the moral question
most of the local papers are on the right
side, Today the editors of the home
papers do the most for the least money of
anv men on earth.

AGNES, THE INDIAN GIRL.

Helen FORREST Graves, in New YORK Weekly.
An Indian girl, real Indian girl :
exclaimed Helena Dickson, with little
scream. Dear me- never expected
to see anything like this even in the Far
West.
Ii was spacious, roomy kitchen, fur
nished with an odd interminghng Of luxury,
priyation and makeshift At one end a
large FIRE of walnut and pine logs rOared up
the great, cavernous chimney; at the other,
two or three girls sat round table; while
Ralph Davenant, the farmer, lay fast
asleep on the chintz cushioned lounge,
lulled by the continuous rushing sound Of
the great western river that bounded one
extremity Of his domains.
Guy Dayenant sat near the girls--a tall,
splendidly nodded young Apollo of the
forest, with shady. hazel eyes, and hair
curling in black, silky rings all over his
head. He. looked up quickly as Miss
Dickson spoke,
Agnes Oscawanda?' he exclaimed.
You say she's in the outer kitchen !?
Why don the women tell her to come

But she is old Oscawanda' daughter,
and she lives down by the falls. y
.What then? She Is as intelligent and
cultivated as nine out of ten of the girls
around here. Call her in, | say, or I'll
20 out there myself.
Julia Davenant rose with curl TO her
lip, and opening the kitchen door, beck
oned haughtily to tall, slight figure stand
ing BY the fire beyond.
Come in, Agnes, cheerily called out
Guy, as if determined to atone for his sis
ter evident lack of courtesy, and Agnes
Oscawanda entered, moving with the slow,
willowy grace of bending reed
She was dark, but not darker than many
a brunette of unblemished Saxon lineage,
with velvety soft eyes raven black hair,
looped in heavy braids at the back of her
head, and delicate, oval face, with fea-
lures straight and pure as the outlines of
a Greek model Her dress was of some
dark worsted stuff, with scarlet shawl
folded across her shoulders, and silken
scarf was twisted about her hair. She
hung her head with evident embarrassment
at Helena Dickson 3 bold stare.
'I only came to bring Mr.. Davenant
the baskets he ordered of my father, she
said, in low voice.
But sit down and rest few minutes,
said Guy. "You have walked long dis

when she had sobbed and shrisked away
her first terror at the ffightful news of the
accident that had happened to her brother.
"0f course Agnes and her scheming old

ton out of it Why couidn' they just as

They might have done so, said Guy,
calmly, ''but corpse would have been all

life, and shall never cease to be grateful
to them for what they have DONE -
''But, lisped Helena, "mayn't We

said Guy, coldly. 'I have every care

biting her lip as the three girls walked
homeward again. II saw her eyes fash

Helena Dickson, however, resolved not
to give up the battle at this early stage of
affairs. She determined to prolong her
visit into the winter months.
Perhaps Guy viii go home with me,
when he RECEIVERS sufficiently, she thought;
''and in that case can easily bring him

For Helena had unbounded confidence
in her own charms and powers of persua
sion.

November when Guy Davenant walked up
TO the door of the farmhouse, leaning on
the Indian girls arm. Julia rose TO well

would have motioned his supporter away.
''She has the best and only right to be at
my side now. P"
Guy! What do you meang gasped
Julia, scarcely understanding what signih-
canoe his words were intended to convey.
II married her this morning, he said,
with quiet, exultapt pride. "As my wife,
she is your equal-in all else, infinitely
your superior Agnes, my pearl of the
forest, welcome, thousand times, to your
new home.
And, with sinking heart, Helena
Dickson saw Agnes Oscawanda, the Indian

sition she had so vainly tried to occupy.
Truly, woman proposes, but Cupid
disposes. The Miss Davenants had out
witted themselves, after all.

Special Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending Sept. 25, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa. Following heavy
showers on the 18th, which caused some
local damage in western districts, the
past week brought 6 days of ideal
weather for the belated portion of the
corn crop. The daily mean tempera-
ture has been to 5 degrees above nor
NAL in the larger part of the state, and
since the 10th the sky has been practic-
ally cloudless. Good progress has been
made in threshing, fall blowing and
cutting corn. Reports indicate that
more than the usual acreage of corn
will be put into shock in the central
and western districts. In all the best
corn districts of the state, where the
crop received timely cultivation, it is
practically safe. For the state at large,
S5 to 80 per cent is now we'll matured
The immature portion needs frostless
weather for the balance of the month,
and probably some of it little beyond.
Conservatively estimated, the amount
OF corn now mature is fully equal to the
state average for the past fifteen years.

OBITUARY.
SIMONDS,

SIMONDS.
Ellen Augusta Sherwin was born at
Rindge, Cheshire county, N. H., March
5, ls4T. She was the third in q family
of five, oneason and four daughters; of
these her three sisters survive her.
She grew up in her native town, fit
ted herself for teaching and spent sew
eral years successfully in that calling.
March 25, 1873 she was married to
Mr.. William o. Simonds and came at
once to Cresco, Iowa, where her hus-
band was engaged in business. They
remained in town six years and then
went onto farm six miles west where
they remained twelve years, until Mr..
Simonds health gave way, and they re-
turned to Cresco where on March %,
1893, the twentieth anniversary of their
marriage Bro Simonds passed to his
reward.
She taught year in the public school
in Cresco. In 1895 she moved to Fay
cite specially for the educational ad.
vantages it afforded her children.
In 1865, forty years ago, she was con-
verified and united with the church, and
to no one who was privileged with even
slight acquaintance need it be said
that the work was deep, thorough and
permanent.
Five children came to gladden. her
life, all of whom survive and were pres
ent at the last sad rites. Lieutenant
George s., U. S. A., now an instructor
in the National Military Academy at
West Point; Mildred j., a teacher in
the public schools at Fayette; Kate A.,
wife OF Rev. Vernon E. Hall, pastor of
the M. E. church at McGregor, Iowa;
Mary Frances, principal of the high
school at Rushford, Mimi, and Charles
A., member of the senior class at Up
per Iowa University.
Mrs. sfmonds suffered stroke of
paralysis Sept. Ia, followed on the 10th
by a second stroke and on the 23d as
the sun went down she entered upon
the eternal day.
Sunday afternoon memorial services
were held in the Fayette M. E. church,
of which Mrs. Simonds was member;
speaking by her pastor, Rev. Claypool,
and by Rev. Payne. The floral decora-
| lions were both profuse and beautiful.
Funeral services Monday at the Z. 2
Webster home; conducted by Rev. J.
L. Payne, who spoke from Mark 1873.
