MILLION ACRES OF

THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED
Dismissal Of Government Special
Agent Reveals crookedness on
Gigantic Scale.

Washington, oct. 6.-An official of
the general land Office says it is pos
sible that a million acres of public
land in California were 'fiauduleutly
obtained from the government before
the force of special agents was reor-
ganized. He believes that no frauds
have been committed during the past
year, however. he history Of the

missal of one OF its trusted special

the purpose of breaking up any pos

The department Of justice has sig

interior department as soon as the
agents in the field collect sufficient
evidence to make conviction. probable
1t is intimated that the difficult o.

fact that the operations were conduct

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
East Concord Woman Dies From Her
Injuries.

st. Johnsbury, Oct. 5.--Mrs. Eugene
Moulton of East Concord died Satur-
day afternoon at her home from burns
received that morning while putting
stick of wood in the stove Her
apron caught fire and she was soon
enveloped in flames. She fed in terror
to the shed where there was some
water hoping to put out the flames in
that way. Failing, she ran into the
yard and rolled about on the grass.
The grass caught fire and thus added
to the terror and the difficulty Of ex-
tinguishing the blaze, so that before
the woman was rescued all her cloth
ing had been burned off except her
shoes.
She fingered along in a conscious
condition for several hours, during
which she related to her mother just
how the accident happened. Death
ensued at 1880 o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon.
Mrs. Moulton was % years Of age
and leaves her husband, besides her
father and mother who reside in Lun-
enburg. A large part of the grass in
the yard was burned, where the unfOr-
tunate woman had rolled about in
her frenzy.

DR.. cHAPMANs MISSION
To Vermont-A Simultaneous Series
OF Meetings.

OF mcruH9s'
Probably the best known leader in
organized religious work in America
today is Rev. ]. Wilbur Chapman, D.
d., who is at the head of the Evan.
gelistic Committee OF the Presbyter-
ian church. Three years ago he gave
up his pastorate to undertake orga-
nized work in the great cities OF
America uniting churches of all de-
nominations in one citywide cam
paign
DR. Chapman and his corps of as
sistants have visited cities in all sec
lions OF the country from Providence
to Denver Last winter they spent a
month in Philadelphia. dividing up
the city into a score Of districts and
holding services in each district daily.
Mr.. Moody used 10 rent a great hail
or erect a temporary tabernacle for
his services DR.. Chapman on the 9TH
tr hand uses the 'naf'n buildings frr
all services except noon day and late
night meetings In the theatres, and
instead of trying to gather whole
city into one place sends scores OF
workers into all sections of the city
Another reasonable idea OF DR.
Chapman is a statewide campaign
In which churches Of all denomina-
lions unite in the attempt to present
the claims OF Christ to all the people
OF the state In one months time
This is a large proposition but the
success in Rhode Island warrants the
attempt in Vermont Bishop McNic-
kar is reported as saying, Il attribute
the splendid list OF accessions to the
church, seen in the May reports, TO
the Chapman meetings A Roman
Catholic paper In Woonsocket gave
a hearty editorial" The meetings
were in no way controversial but
aimed to present a clear conception OF
the essentials Of the Christian Faith.
The meetings In Bennington will be
held the first or last two weeks In
November Committees have already
been appointed to look after the de
tails OF the services and special meet
ings are soon 10 be held In the dis
| trict schoolhouses Of Bennington
Pownal and SALISBURY. All Chris
tian people are asked to give this mat
ter their careful consideration and
plan their engagements so as TO give
their time and talent TO this work.
Consult with the pastor OF your own
church.
