beautiful church, see our eloquent
preacher. Come in; or stay out and
be damned. No, there is work for
God and human souls, for you to do.
Let this be the workshop. This
should stand for a court of worship,
the temple of God, where eternal real
tiles, come closer to the heart, the
place when doubts and fears perpleX,
when you feel that you are a sinner,
when the image of God begins to as
sert itself, your soul may open itself
and let in the glorious life giving light
of His gospel. the place where Christ
is to reveal Himself, and heaven will
come into your heart. Oh, the unutter-
able Joy of the soul that comes into
the meeting house to see God ! Oh,
brothers; this meeting house will re-
veal to your soul-victory. 1t will be
to you, simply the porch to the
great house, not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. Thus closed
an impressive discourse, delivered
without notes, and of which we can
not give complete idea in this out
line, caught as thespeaker proceeded.
The act of dedication by pastor and
people, and the dedicatory prayer, by
Rev. DR.. Hardy and the people, were
impressive points in the service.

Fleetwood was read by Rev. e. 6.
French, and sung by choir and con-
gregation:-
Clad in the whiteness of faiths cherished
longing,
Gilded by hope, strong cemented by love
Arises the church, Christ's dearest belonging,
Pointing to God, high en-thron-ed above
Blest be it's aims. it's pursuits, its ambitions
Hallowed by mercy its judgments e'cr be;
Close guarded it's treasures, true-SOuled its
montions,
Purged from dread boubt, from heart sor-
row set free.
Righteous its striving toward hottest living;
Quick it's response to suffering need;
Firm handed, large minded Justly torgiving,
Faith, hope and love be its gold lettered
creed.
Raise the glad anthem with praises abound

Melodious blending, strike each swelling
chord
Till DER arching rafter with harmony sound

Glory and honor asrribes to our Lord.

service was brought to a close and

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in it's place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
1t was never intended for medicine, and
people who use it as such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach
a habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover, the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the inteStineS, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or periton-
tits.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dySpepSia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lOzengeS, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptones, and digestive ele-
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before 1t
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth says that he invariably
uses Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach deran gementS and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not a cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weaknesses
and will be found reliable in any stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cts. per package

WOMAN'S DEVILS DANCE.
Former Wife of Prince Alphonse de
Chimay Wants to Try Another
Man

New York, March 5.-A dispatch from
Brussels says that the divorced wife of
Prince AlphonSe of Chimay is now
seeking a divorce from her second hus-
band, a cOachman named Jason, so she
can marry Grenier, a Frenchman.
Prince Alphonse is a cousin of the
eX-husband of Clara Ward. He married
the daughter of NJ. Lejeune, a rich mer-
chant and when he found she was in
love with Jason, his coachman, he put
her out of the house He was granted
a divorce and a large share of his wife's
money.
The princess Immediately married
Jason, but finding him unlettered she
hired an instructor named Grenier, who
resided in their home. At the end of
year Nine. JaSSan and Grenier ran
away and visited all the countries of
Europe and many parts of Africa and
Asia.
Now they have returned, and madame
asks that her second marriage be an
nulled, as she found it quite impossible
to live with so illiterate a fellow as Jas
son, but he contends that he is not half
as illiterate as he was when his wife
left the prince to live with him.

BOOMERS READY JUMP.
Fully 1900 Eager to overrun spo-
kane County Land When the
Work is Spoken.

Tacoma, Wn., March 5.-More than
1900 boomers have gathered along the
Columbia river, near Hunter and Fruit
land, Spokane county, equipped for a
rush into the southern half of the Col
Vile Indian reservation, which congress
it is expected, will order thrown open
this month.
These boomers are supplied with fleet
horses. The south half of the reSerVa-
ton is a vast region of broken noun
tains. There is much good farm land
along the streams, and wide slopes
reaching down to the river afford splen-
did range for stock.
A dispatch says there is bitter feel
ing against the government officials,
and when the signal is sounded which
will open the forbidden ground, there
will be serious trouble unless extraordi-
nary precautions are taken.
1t is said some favored ones have been
allowed to enter and locate good claims
If they endeaVOr to take possession of
them there will be trouble, for the
boomers are fully armed.
