The new church will be dedicated by
the Congregationslists and their friends
on Sunday, MAY 9th. Addresses will be
made by Supt. A. J. Bailey Of Seattle and
President Penrose Of Whitman College,
Walla Walla. The other congre cations
of the city have been invited to partici-
pate in the exercises. A committee is at
work securing funds with which to meet
q few remaining bills 90 that the church
may be completed without debt. 1t is
intended to have no special offering
called for on dedication day. In order
that this may be the case, small sums
are being donated by many of our citi.
zens. The church costs about $1,000,
seats about 400. and is an admirable
illustration Of what little money will
do these hard times toward beautiful
building.
On exhibition at the machine shop Of
Mart Schichtl is the model Of a novel
railroad line and rolling stock, the inven-
ton of q Mr.. Patton of this city. 1t was
designed for use in mountainous districts
and Mr.. Patton claims that it can be
built and put in operation between North
Yakima and the Gold Hill district for
$4,000. The rosdbed consists of 6xl2
iron bound timbers placed upon upright
timbers of the same dimensions. The
cars and engines have central, cast-iron
wheels which fit over the iron. bound
roadbed on the principle Of hay cars.
Paniers project from each side of the cars
which furnish the carrying capacity.
The device is an ingenious one and Mr..
Schorn is inclined to the opinion that its
operation is practicable.
Millionaire Stinson of Chicago, who
has had band of 1876 blooded horses in
Yakima for couple of years past, wired
his representative, Mr.. James, that
money had been forwarded to pay out
standing obligations and to drive the
horses across country to Minnesota.
These horses have cost Mr.. Stinson over
100000, about $25 900 of which has
been expended in Yakima. Mr.. Stinson
has. in all, nearly 700 head and never a
horse has been sold or disposed of with
his consent. During the summer months
he keeps about 100 horses in training on
his private track near Chicago, and ex-
ercises them himself He is eccentric on
the subject of horses and has money
enough to crafty his within.
No official announcement has been
made as yet Of memorial day rs the Both
OF May falls this year on Sunday and the
local camp is uniformed whether it will
be observed on Saturday, Sunday or
Monday, but preparations are being
made for fitting exercises. 1t is under
stood that Rev. Hassell will deliver an
address and the younger OF the school
girls, to the number of couple of hun
dred, will be invited to participate in cos
tunes of white. The arrangements are in
the hands of most efficient committee
and nothing will be left undone to make
the occasion memorable one.
Judge Goodwin, one of the Indian
commissioners who has been treating
with the Iakima's, has resigned and re-
turned to his home in Georgia. His re-
signation has been accepted but what
will puzzle all is how any one can yolun-
tarily resign position OF $40 per day
and expenses while the financial stress
continues. For those who have their
init" out, it is we'll enough to say that
no two members of the commission can
come from the same state and Washing
ton is already provided in the incum-
bency of Commissioner Barge.
The beautiful fairy play "Cinderella'
will be presented at Mason's opera house
Saturday evening, May Sth, by the schol-

the direction of their teacher, Miss Kings
bury. The little folks have been put
through course of drilling for the
marches and foot movements by Prof.
Atcherson. Tickets have been placed at
20 cents--just enough to cover the ex-
penses of presenting the play, and are on
sale at Taft's drug store.
Arrangements have been made where
by Rev. Utz continues with the Christian
church for another year. The subjects
for the sermons of next Sunday are

and "Contending with God" The time
of the evening services is changed to 7 100
for G. E. prayer-meeting and 500 for
preaching.
