CATHOLIC CHURCH OPENING
The Dedication of St. Alphonsus Church
The Event Of the aeek.

The Dedication Of ST. Alphonsus Church
The Event Of the Week.
Langdcn's new Catholic church was
dedicated on Tuesday forenoon of this
week by highly impressive and appro-
pirate service presided over by Bishop
Stanley. who was assisted by seventeen
priests from parishes in different parts
of the state. The beauty Of the service
throughout was rendered more appre
ciative by the especially fine music l;y
u special choir of upwards twcnt! voice.;
rendering Mozarts Twelfth Mass, in
which the soprano was led by Mrs. DR..
Smith, the ether soloists being Miss
Mollic Comstock, Judge Dorval. z. W.
Bleakley and j. Donoilue. The new
organ was presided over by Mrs Dorval.
Following the dedication service pro-
per Rev. Father Danehy, of st Paul de-
livered highly interesting and instruc-
tive sermon on the history and mission
of the Catholic church, the scriptural
text of the discourse being, "rruly this
is the House of God and the Gate Of
Heaven The theme was beautifully
outlined and the eloquence of the
preacher fully enjoyed by one and all of
large audience which filled every seat of
the church. Bishop Stanley addressed
the audience in few we'll chosen words
just before the close of the service, COM
mending the congregation and their pas
tor on the great success that had attend
ed their united effort to give Langdon
one of the largest and most beautiful
churches in the state. A we'll deserved
tribute was also paid Rev. NJ. Dougherty,
whose tireless work in behalf of the
church and devotion toduty has won for
him tho esteem and good will of the peo-
pie of Langdon as well as the members
of st. Alphonsus church.
Had the columns Of fthe paper been less
crowded at this time We would have
much preferred writing up the event in
manner befitting its Importance in the
pistory of Langdon's progress

YOUNG HUSBAND SUICIDLD.
Dependency uver the Illness of His Wife
Led to the Suicide.

A telephone message Friday from
Walhalla brought the news ofthe suicide
of Samuel Fleming, prominent and
well-to-do young farmer living i've miles
from that place, whose body was found
yesterday morning. 1t appears that Mr..
Fleming visited the farm of his father,
also near Malhalla, during the evening
of Thursday and left for home about
eleven o'clock. He carried small rifle,
and yesterday morning his body was
found lying at the side of his barn, the
upper part of the head torn open by
bullet from the rife. The young man
was in good circumstances and the cause
for his self destruction cannot bo im-
agined. He is survived by young wife
and babe, born Thursday morning.
Tue coroner Of Pembina county, in
which the Fleming farm. is located was
notified Of the tragedy and after hearing
the details Of the finding Of the body

SUSPICION OF A SUICIDE.
Farmer Supposed to Have Taken Overdose
of Laudanum.

James Campbell, prominent farmer
residing about three miles north of
Walhalla died Saturday night from the
effects of an overdose of laudanum. He
had gone to Walhalla to do some trading
and among his purchases was bottle Of
laudanum which, it is believed he pur-
chased to deaden pain that he was
suffering from. 1t is surmised that he
took a dose when he was quite close to
his home, for when the team reached
the farm, Mr.. Campbell was taken from
the sled in a semi-conscious condition.
He was taken from the sled to the house,
and doctor was called from Walhalla.
The use of antidotes and the application
Of the stomach pump did not save the
man and he died in short time. Camp
bell was prominent citizen, was in fair
circumstances, and it is hard to credit
the belief that he committed suicide,
Nearly everybody here believes that he
took laudanum for medicinal purposes
and accidentally took an overdose. He
leaves wife and two or three children.
The empty laudanum bottle was found
in Mr.. Campbell's coat after he was re-
moved to the house, and this was the
first clue to tho trouble, the people at
his farm being unable to state what
caused his condition when he was first
seen. The bottle contained four ounces
Of laudanum.
