Daniel Heating.
The officers from both states had
search warrants and are said to have
battered down the door and searched
the place from cellar to attic without
finding anything. 1t is alleged that pre-

CLOSING OF MEMS MISSION.

large congregation attended the
closing of the men s mission Sunday
night in the Roman Catholic church.
Rev. Father Boniface preached an elo
quent sermon on Heaven. He pictured
with the aid of holy scripture the
joys of the bcatific vision and the re.
wards that await those who lead q
good life on this earth.
Neither hath eye seen nor car
heard of the joys that God hath pre-.
pared for those that love Him." So
with the aid of mortal tongue, and
comparisons, he portrayed so far as it
lies in mortals, the joys and bliss of
the good when they reach the heavenly
Jerusalem. He urged the men to be
faithful to their God, their homes and
their country.
A sight long to be remembered
was when each man with a lighted
candle in his hand renewed his hap
tismal promises after Rev. Fathel
Boniface, and they renewed them with
such sincerity that it was ample proof
that they meant what they said.
The missionaries were loud in theil

And memory shall weave him bright
laurels of fame;
While his deeds at Monterey will
