the shoulder fearlessly. Heis strong
man all round. intensely earnest and
thoroughly practical in his methods of
work. The church has been crowded
each evening, and the last two nights
there have been a number of spiritual
enquirers. The subject this evening
is "a young mans failure" and to-
morrow evening, "The philosophy of

a meeting for men only at 3 o'clock.

cry day at 3 o'clock.
The family of H. S. Gilbert, resid-
ing two miles east of this city, in Pax
ton, came very near being asphyxiat-
ed early last Monday morning. A
small hard coal stove is used at the
house for heating purposes, and be-
fore retiring Sunday night Mr.. Gil
bert left the door of the stove partly
open. His younger daughter was the
first to get up Monday morning, and
as she did so she staggered and fell
across the floor. Mr.. Gilbert heard
the fall, arose to find himself under
the influence of gas, but staggered to
where his daughter was lying, picked
her up and carrying her out doors
bathed her face in snow until signs of
life were manifest. Returning to the
house he found that his wife and re-
naming children, except the baby,
were all suffering from asphyxiation.
He aroused them,an by proper treat
ment they were resuscitated.
