though he had looked everywhere, all
over his farm, in the barns and even
down the wells in the field. Finally he
reluctantly came to the conclusion that
the animal had been stolen, and the
search was relinquished.
Yesterday the hired man found the
animal in Cassie's own barn, wedged down
into hole, from which she had been
unable to move. The animal had starved
to death. It is thought that the cow in
searching for her calf went into the hack
door of the barn and up to the haymow,
from which she slipped into the hole.
1t was necessary to tear out the side Of
the barn to get the carcass.

THREE STRONG SERMONS.
Evangelist Gillian Spoke to Large Crowds
Yesterday.

Evangelist Gillian preached three
strong sermons TO three large audiences
Yesterday. The three o'clock service for
young people was especially helpful
Many decisions for Christ were made and
cards signed In the evening more than
FIVE hundred people were present, the
main audience room being crowded so
that the Epworth League room had TO
be utilized The temporary platform,
erected for the occasion, was filed with
singers. The new song book, Mr.. Gill
lam's special edition, was used. Many
decisions were made at the close of the
meeting. A large number remained at
the after-meeting, which was character
lied by intense interest. 1t was very
successful day.
MIR. Gillam's subject for the evening
was ~Ihe Choice Of Life taken from
Joshua 24:15. lie spoke in part as fol-
lows: The first reason for choosing
Gods side is because it is right. 1t is
always right TO do right and wrong to
do wrong. Again it is the manly thing
to do. it doesn't take much Of man
to become a Christian, but it takes all
there is OF him. When King David was
dying he said to Solomon, 'Show thyself
a man." and he need to be one ii he
was to be David's successor
Another good reason is because of
our influence. A boy dying said to his
father Do not cry, father, you have
taught me how to come to Jesus
Fathers, can you say that you have
lived so as to bring your boys to Christ I
Moreover, we should decide for Christ
because Of the hope of Immortality. The
evangelist was once an admifer of Col
lngersoll, the great agnostic, and he
quoted some of Ingersolls famous ora
tion over the grave of his brother, to
the effect that hope hears the rustic

FINALLY CAPTURED.
of cline" House on Vermont
Border

st. Albans, Oct. 2S.-A. b. Chapel,
proprietor of the noted "linep house on
the Richford and Canadian border, was
Saturday arrested by Deputy Sheriff
harles Steele on the charge of kcering
for sale aud selling Intoxicating liquor.
Chapel was brought to this city and
taken before Judge Tyler. He furnished
bail in the sum of 81 900.
Chapel, it is alleged, has for years
sold oceans of rum and has defed the
officers Of both countries. When raided
by Canadian officers, he simply moved
over the lineju across the room-into
the United States and when raided by
United States officers, he simply crossed
the room to Canadian soil.
Finally the officers put their heads
together and a raid was made simultane-
ously and this time their efforts bore
fruit in shape of whole wagon load OF
all kinds of liquor found on the Cana
dian side, while smaller quantity, but
enough to get conviction, it is thought
was taken by American officers.
At that time, Chapel being on Ca
madam soil, was taken by the Canadian
officers. He was arraigned, retained J..
w. Baker, an eminent Canadian attorney,
and furnished bail. Since that time,
Chapel has kept of American soil.
A trap was arraigned, however, for
Chapell and he fell into it; a surveying
party appeared at Richford last Thurs
day, apparently running over again the
boundary line between the two countries,
about which there has been of late, so
much discussion. Included in that party
was deputy sheriff, Charles Steele Of
Iiighgate and unknown TO Chapel.
