IOWA CORN GOES.
TO SOUTHWEST

Council Bluffs, Dec. 3-Hundreds OF
thousands of bushels Of Iowa corn are
going to Kansas and Missouri this fall
10 make ND for the failure of the crop
ir, various portions Of the two states.
Much Of this is passing through Coun-
ell Bluffs and the railroads are busy
with the grain shipments south. Whfcn.
y, spite Of the shortage, are larger
than usual.
This grain is to be used for feeding
where the home grown corn IS usuaiiy
used. The price to the south is cents
a bushel higher than in the eastern
rcarkets and the shippers are taxing
advantage Of this and sending most OF
their grain in that direction.
Just what the effect will be in the
east is not known, thought it is expect
ed that the price will be raised there
to meet the southern value. whether
this condition will develop clash be-
tween the southern and eastern mar
kets is a matter Of conjecture with the
reisers and some are holding backSthelr
shipments to watch for an extreme
high price.

MASSACRE SURVIVOR
VISITS FRIENDS

Marshalltown, Dec. 3.--Mrs. Abbie
Gardner Sharp Of Spirit Lake, the last
survivor Of the first of the Spirit Lake
massacres, on March 8, 1857. has re-
turned to her home after few days
visit in this city with her old friends,
Quartermaster and Mrs. H. j. Bennett,
of the soldiers home. Mrs. Sharp's sis
ter, Mrs. Eliza MCGOWAN, member or
the soldiers home. Mrs. Sharp was en-
tertained at the Bennett home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett have known
Abbie Gardner almost ever since she
was released by the Indians FOUR
months after being taken captive when
the Sioux raided the Rowland Gardner
home at Spirit Lake. In fact Samuel
Pillsbury, Mrs. Benefits father, occu-
Fled the same farm where the fearful
tragedy took place. Immediately after
the Gardner family was wiped out as
a result of the massacre.
Although 10 years old. Mrs. Sharp
remembers keenly the incidents OF over
a half century ago. And 1t IS not
strange that she should, for she was
then IA years old, and the scene of her
father being shot to death before her
ewes. Of her mother, her sister, Mrs.
Luce, and her two children, and q
younger brother-all being shot or
bea ten to death with clubs-was stamp
ell ndellibly on the mind Of the girl.
The daughter Abbie was the only mem
Der Of the family. save her sister Eliza,
who was not killed. Eliza was not at
home, having been UP in Minnesota at
the time. Abbie Gardner was taken
ca, ptive, and lived with the Indians
four months Twenty men, women and
children fell as result Of the first day
of the massacre. Other atrocities at the
hands Of Chief Ink pa du-tah and his
band Of Sioux warriors followed, and 1t
was in one Of the subsequent attacks
that the Thomas family, later Of this
county, contributed victims to the md
iGns' bullets.
Mrs. MCGOWAN, who has been mem
Der Of the soldiers home since June 8,
IS three years older than her sister Abb
bic. Mrs. MCGOWAN is the widow OF
two veterans Of the civil war. Her first
husband was William Wilson, and her
second Silas MCGOWAN.

the home of her granddaughter, Mrs.
w. q. Meissner, in Fort Dodge, Novem-
Der IA, 1913, at the age OF SO years, IL
months and II days. She moved with
her parents to Ohio when about TWO
years of age, later to Indiana, and from
there to Iowa, reaching OttumWa on
September %, 1854, where she resided
until her marriage to Ephr1am d. Is
hnger in 1873. Soon after her mar
riage she and her husband removed to
the farm north of Abba, where MT.
Eslinger died September 81, 1889. Her
influence for good, both morally and
spiritually was felt throughout her
neighborhood, for she was ever work
ing for the Masters kingdom.
When about 16 years OF age, she
united with the Presbyterian church In
Indiana, but on removing to Iowa she
Joined the Methodist Episcopal church
of which she remained a faithful mem

PAYDAY IS TOPIC
FOR EVANGELIST.
REV. OLIVER DRAWS PARALLEL
BETWEEN SOURCES OF WAGES
FOR WORK AND SIN.
Especial Corespondence.)

Abba, Dec. 3.--"Pay Day was the
subject used by Evangelist Oliver IN
his sermon last night and it was one
especially appropriate for laboring
r,en, many of whom were at the serv-
ice. The text was taken from Romans
6:23, For the wages Of sin Is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord"
The idea was that in ordinary en-
ployment men expect to get their
wages from the person in whose en-
ploy they are They did not expect
the Burlington route to pay the Wa
bash employees or the Edison Electric
Co., to pay the employees Of the Bald
win Locomotive Works. So in spirit
ual things. if man or woman is the
servant of the devil he must get his
pay from him. He is a sure paymas-
tel and the wage is eternal death.
whatsoever man soweth that will
be reap" This is true saying. 1t
has been demonstrated in Abba in the
past few days. said the evangelist
Tuesday afternoon delegation of
United Presbyterian ministers who
were in Abba attending meeting Of
the Des Moines Presbytery, were in
the meeting. About twenty were in
the delegation. The sermon was from
the text, Build thou the walls Of Jer-
usalem,' and the walls he mentioned
were first, the wall Of prayer; second,
the wall of faith; third, the wall Of
purity; and fourth, the wall of power.
It was one of the strongest messages
delivered by the evangelist in an after
noon service.
The number of confessions is
growing daily. The meeting of Sun
day night when large number of men
came forward gave an added impetus
to the meetings for the coming week
and great things are expected. We'd
nesday night will be high school night
and other special nights are an

The lad disappeared from the city

all proved futile.
The mystery Of his disappearance
was solved simply enough by his own
story. He had gone to Dakota immedl-

short time had started to work on a
ranch near Interior. The place where
he was working was cross between a
ranch and farm. The life was very t.
tractive for a time. the lad said, but
