Held Several Meetings During
The Sabbath Day

II Is certain that there were few
buster people I'm town yesterday than
Evangelists Smith and Gilmore. who
are conducting the campaign at Cen
tenary church, for they were at II
from morning until night. Great
audiences attended both morning and
evening services, and ut the latter
scores OF people expressed purpose
to confess and live for Christ by sign
ing a special decision card. These
represented four classes of people and
were not all converts.
Aside from the regular services Mr.
Smith addressed a splendid audience
of men at p. m, at the gymnasium OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. The men came pour
ing IN despite the fact that the rain
was pouring down at the time of be-
ginning, and they heard a most
practical talk on will Living a Moral
Life Saver" From the Bible he proved
that nothing but the personal ac-
ceptance of Christ was salvation, and
that while secret societies were doing
good, and that church membership
was all important. they fell short OF
real SalNdtiOn. Al tnlS service anu at
the evening meeting at Centenary
church, a splendid male quartet COM
posed of Messrs. Nettleton, Griffith,
Gilmore and Smith sang most delight
fully and many are hoping they may
be heard often.
At the hour of the mems meeting,
Mrs. J. A. Hartman conducted a
meeting for women at the Centenary
church which proved to be most help
full, and at GAS p. m, Professor Gil
more led the Epworth league meeting,

meeting.

give a Bible talk on Personal Work
and urges all who would like knowl-
edge about this important work to be
present. The Evangelists will sing

Perhaps Il is because her expendi-

Green B. Stone, formerly OF Ma
della. was placed under arrest ut San
Francisco a few days ago on the
charge Of deserting his wife and four
children, who are now in Madelia.
Stone is reported to have left his
wife and children about the first of
August. He had been living at Ma
della for some time and pretended to
be detective, having received in
struction I'm that line of work from a
correspondence school. However, de-
tecting did not prove to be very
profitable business and he left for
the west
Arriving at san Francisco. Stone
wrote TO his wife. I'm the letter he
stated that he had secured job from
Uncle Sam and lie would be well
cared for. but he did not know how
his wife and family were going to get
along. He instructed Mrs. Stone to go
TO one of the banks In Madelia and
draw out what money he had left be-
hind. This amounted TO SO.
Mrs. Stone is in delicate health
and the task Of supporting herself
and four children has been a diff
cult one. Nothing more was heard
from Stone.
The officers have been working on
the case ever since Stone left. The
alleged wife deserter was evidently
infatuated with a certain married
woman, who lives near Madelia. for
he could not refrain from writing to
her. Her husband got wise" to the
correspondence and notified the au-
thorities. who took the matter up with
Officers in San Francisco. Stones ar
rest followed. The sheriff of Waton-
wan county and the mayor of Nadelia
