had something that nobody else In the
business had, and there would undoubt.

A few nights ago q very slick piece Of

and $24 80 In change The next morning
Captain Adams presented the note at the
Merchants National Bank. and was In.
formed OF the spurious nature Of the

he got the bill aud also the destina.
tion OF the ticket sold, and at once
telegraphed the officers at Texarkana 10

But Phillips left the train at Malvern,
where he laid over q couple OF tr aims. Mr..
Ham Woodward was sent In search of tile

seated he walked up aud took Q seat bs.

to tluR the detective, and asked
him what he meant, at the same

pocket Thi, movement called for
instantaneous action on the part Of
Woodward, who ordered him TO hold up
bis hands. On being searched $3.50 In

The M. e. Church Dedicated.

The M. e. church of this city was
formally dedicated the 9Th inst,
Bishop Foss conducting the cere.
monies, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Grif.
fifth of Casselton, Rev. Mr.. Troy the
local pastor, and Rev. Mr.. Rock well
Of the Baptist church Of this city.
The bishop preached very instruc.
tive sermon, based upon the subject
of faith. Showed that in all hu.
man affairs faith was q very i'm
portant factor, and from this led of
into religious affairs and its foun-
dation built upon faith in the Lord
Jesus. The bishop is = fine appear
ing man, an easy and graceful
speaker, having been in the minis
try some forty years. At the close
of the sermon the learned gentle.
man introduced tho subject Of the
new house of worship, its cost, &C.,
showing that it cost, ~ it stood
$4,000, and that this sum was only
about half paid. there bein &, how
ever. several hundred dollars sub
scribed that was considered perfect
ly good, reducing the liabilities to
some 1868, and that the thing want
ed now was subscriptions to cover
this amount, running six and twelve
months without interest, that would
really bring the amount up to some
$3.50 to be raised. The bishop then
appointed Rev. Mr.. Troy, Messrs.
Stevens, Workman, and NJ. H. Nor
rill solicitors, and A. Il. Roberts,
secretary, who all went to work
and in q minutes by the bishops
watch, $682.92 were subscribed.
The bishop was much pleased and
said that in all his experience he
had never seen so large an amount
of money raised out of so small a
congregation; thought it spoke we'll
for the church and for Wahpeton.
1t was noticed too that Mr.. Troy
was much pleased at the manner in
which his friends had come right up
to time in answering these demands.
1t showed that people recognized
the fact that Mr.. Troy had worked
early and late in the the affairs that
had placed so handsome a church
edifice in their midst, and that he
had done this with no little tact and
ability, that promised good work in
the future. 1t was not at all like
throwing the money away. Of
course the bishop did his part of the
work in a very clever manner.
Here are the subscriptions:

At the conclusion MI. Troy urged
upon those present to come out in
the evening and bring their frien DIS
to hear Bro. Griffith. And before
pronouncing the benediction the
bishop said: "Yes, come out, there
need be no fear of further tax upon
you, you have done nobfy, we have
enoughp'
That evening Mr.. Griffith consid.
cred the Importance of "no other
name" in earthly affairs, showing
that corporations were controlled,
respectively, by a single head or
name, and that from the nature of
things must be 50. It was so with
the United States government. How
important was the presidents sig
nature at times; railroad presi-
dents signature, or a bank presi-
dents signature. 1t was so in re-
ligious matters, there was no other
name under heaven by which man
was to be saved except through that
Of the Lord Jesus Christ. The ar
gument being very strong one.
At the close the trustees of the
church took their positions in front
of the altar and the ceremony of
dedication was had, binding these
men and the church to preserve the
dignity and righteousness of the in
stitution. And just before the BEN
ediction the bishop mentioned that
there should be chandeliers in the
center Of the house, and that the
pulpit, he had learned; did not be-
long to the church, but was borrow
ed from the Congregational church,
Breckenridge, and he would give
those not contributing in the morn
ing chance to contribute to these
necessary articles; appointed same
solicitors calling for $40 contribu-
tions, and these were hardly under
way when Rev. G. B. Barnes of the
Congregational church called out
from the audience that he would
give the 'last ten." In very
short time the solicitors had $113.45
for this purpose.
The bishop is a large fine appear
ing man, a graceful and forceful
speaker and while the NJ. E. church
people. adopting his name, viz: The
Foss Methodist Episcopal Church,
have occasion to remember him
kindly and lovingly, he has occasion
to, not only remember the society
but Wahpeton as q wide.awake,
faithful and hopeful little city.

At the parsonage of the NJ. f.. church, this
city, BY H. W. Troy, December 14th, 1855. Mr.
Eugene Moore and Miss Polly Stevenson.
And Mr.. Joseph l.. Barnstable and Miss Eva.
rettie Moore.
1t will be noticed that Eugene
Moore is a son Of Id Moore, Esq. the
enterprising and successful farmer
on the Wild Rice river, five miles
west of this city, and that Mrs.
Barnstable nee Miss Moore, Mr..
Moore's daughter. Mr.. Barnstable
and Miss Stevenson were in Dakota
with all near relatives somewhere
in the east, making their home with
neighbor of l.. J. Moore, Miss Stew
enson having taught the schoolsin
that section the past two years.
After the ceremony the young
people and party repaired to the pa
rental home, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. J.
Moore's, where preparations had
been made for warm reception
and jolly time generally, AS related
to us by Chas. II. Smith, yesterday.
Mr.. Smith says that at an early
hour Monday evening large num-
ber of friends, some from Wahpe.
ton and nearer neighbors, gathered
at the residence and celebrated the
double wedding in one of the finest
suppers he has ever seen in this
country, after which the party en-
joyed themselves by dancing, &C.,
making upon the whole a very jolly
time, indeed. Thursday (to-day)
the young people will start for their
homes near Ransom City in Sargent
county. THE TINES extends con-
gratulations to the happily welded,
hoping with their large circle of
friends that they may all live long,
happy and prosperous lives.
Mr.. Moore, the father, was in the
city Tuesday evening, when gen.
tleman suggested to him that he
would soon realize the tendency of
grown up children and discover,
with all humanity, that he was
growing old. He answered, "Yes,
another freak like that and we will
be left alone and nearly disconsolate;
we have the eldest son and young
est daughter left.' And then
thoughtfully: "Twenty-five years
ago when / was married, I did not
think it would come to this" But
then the young lads and lasses
would laughingly say: swell, we'll,
papa. that's just about what it
usually comes to, the world moves,
you know"
