In all great movements for the on.
ward march OF civilization the names
OF the real heroes are often lost sight
Of until the jostling of the years
brings them to the surface. In Aug.
ust, 1sl3, the NJ II. Conference met
at Dubuque, The New Purchase mad
heen open for settlement three
months. THIS Conference decided to
establish two missions in the new ter.
ritory and TO send young men to oc.
cupy the field. The whole district
was called the Des Mo,nos River Dis.
trict and extended from Pennington
as far northwest as there we're any
settlements. At that time there was
a dearth of names in his region and
the name given to the field which after.
ward became Mahaska county was
Muchakinock Mission. The name of
the young man assigned to this mis-.
sion was Joseph n, Lewis. He was
the first Methodist preacher, IL not
the very first herald Of the cross, who
ever looked after his scattered flock
In this new region. Mr. Lewis was a
graduate Of Woodward college, Gin
cinnati, Ohio. Trained as ne was in
the more polished life Of the east, he
was lily qualified for the hardships
and exposure OF missionary life In n
new country. But he was not want
ing in an unselfish and heroic spirit
which was willing to endure hardness
as a good soldier of Christ. He came
on to the field assigned him and did
his work faithfully until late in the
fall Of that year. He was without a

had often 10 swim streams, picket hiS
horse and camp ont on the wild prai-
ries with scanty food and covering.
II began TO tell on mis- health and his
presiding elder, Henry Summers, sent
him to Iowa City TO teach in school
which the church was fostering there.
This was more agreeable to his train
ing and culture. He remained IN
Iowa City a few years and then r..
turned TO his home in Cincinnati,
broken in health. He fingered for
time and then went down to prema-
ture grave from exposure while at
work in the Mnchaklnock Mission. So
the obituary announcing his death
stated. 1t is a pathetic story Of
a young man who brought his
contribution TO the new west.
We do not know that he organ.
lied a single church, but no
human wisdom can measure the innu.
ence Of the seed sown on that virgin
soil. He willingly gave mis- life In the
sowing, and his name should DC held
in sacred memory by his brathren OF
another generation. Mr.. Lewis was
succeeded in his work In what the ola
records Of the Dubuque Conference
called the Muchakinock Mission, by
Allen Johnson, who organized the first
NJ. r.. church in osKaIoosa on October
10, 1914.

Miss Wilson was preparing TO 20
to Arlspe, Iowa, for visit OF sew
eral weeks at the home Of her father
near that place. Her trip had been
so timed that she would arrive at
her destination at eleven o'clock In
the evening She had a lonely walk
of half mile from the station ana
had asked Norris to get gun for
her, as she did not care to make the
walk without protection. Young Nor
ris took the gun from his trunk,
where 1t had been for the past twelve
months untouched, and took It to the
Mobley home TO give to the girl. he
was unmindrul of the fact that the
gun contained any loads and does not
remember OF having placed any
therein. The accident happened as
he was preparing to clean the revol-
yer and oil the parts preparatory to
giving 1t to the girl. He had not ex.
amined the chamber, thinking there
were no loads therein. The girl was
standing near as he placed his
thumb on the trigger, preparatory TO
removing the cylinder. The action
was stir and the trigger slipped back.
To the establishment Of the young
man there was fash, report, and
the girl screamed and fell, shot In
the side.
DIR. H. &. Homer responded TO the
excited summons OF young Norris,
whose voice came over the 'phone:
Come quick! I've shot Mile" The
physician treated the wound as the
circumstances would permit, II is
too soon to determine as to the char.

that II Is not necessarily fatal, and

The bullet from a 32.calIbre gun
entered the left side just under the
seventh rib, and probably took an up.
ward course, although It is not yet
possible TO determine. DIR. Homer
believed that the lead went through
the lung, and PROBABLY lodged under
the left shoulder blade.
Young Norris Is almost Frustrated
over the affair. He is at loss TO
understand how the piece could have
contained loads. He Is In constant
attendance upon the young lady, aud
II devoted service can be Of avail, the
patient will certainly recover quickly
from the effects OF the shooting.
