Dedication.

IIdSI iCulludy was great udy lOI
the Congregationalists of Kenne-
wick. Their new church which is
admitted by those qualified to speak,
to be the handsomest church of its
size in the state, was dedicated.
Beginning in the Sunday School
the dedication of this handsome
structure to the study of the Word
continuing in the morning service
and evening service the hou Sc was
dedicated to the worship of God.
Rev. w. J. Hindley, of Spokane
gave two mastery sermons. The
morning, from the text Il was glad
when they said unto me, let us 60
into the house of the Lord" Trac-
ing the development of the religious
conceptions of man he shows that
tnat church which fulfils it's true
mission is the church which gives
enlightment, courage and peace to
its people.
Rev. Wv. Scudder Jr. of Seattle
superintendent of Congregational
Home Missions for Washington,
took charge of the service and by
means of a diagram of wall bro t
before his audiecne very clearly the
financial condition of the church,
showing that $2525.O0 were needed
still to cover all Indebtedness. By
means of blocks representing stones
he solicited aid beginning with 5000.
Several subscriptions of this amount
were received. Then proceeding
with less amounts until in all sl2O0
was raised.
At the evening service it was an
mounted that the old church build
ing and lot had been sold to the
First International Bank for $500
and few more subscriptions hav-
ing been taken, the total amount
raised during the day was about
$1,000, leaving a deficit of 1925
which has been otherwise provided
for. Rev. Hindley then preached
his most excellent and practical
sermon on the Testing of the Hum
drum. !" At the close OF the sermon
the dedicatory prayer was offered
by DR.. Samuel Greene and the
dedicatory service was read respons-
lively. The amount secured during
the day was the second largest ever
raised in Home Mission in Con-
gregational work. The other was
in year of good crops and best OF
financial conditions. Mr.. Hindley
said he considered Kennewick 8 ef-
fort the best.
The people of Kennewick and
the members of the Congregation in
particular have every reason to be
proud of this new church edifce
and proud of their record in secur.
ing it.

A Pedestrian: All over the coun-

against low awnings, and it seems to
me. that it might as we'll be begun

order directing that the awnings be
raised, but little was accomplished

the movement to elevate the bother.
some things became active and gen

awnings is at hand, it seems to me
that if the mayor would have his po-

their canvas affairs must not hang

and back up the notice with an arrest
or two that: he might have as good

COMIC SUPPLEMENT
BUSILY ENGAGED IN CLEANING
COURT HOUSE LAWN--AN ALL
SUMMER JOB, APPARENTLY.

The star boarders at the McGillis
hotel, numbering about six, were en-
gagged in Strengthening up the court
house lawn Thursday. They worked
hard, though the efforts attained al
the end of the day might have beer
perceptible, and then again they
might not. Especially so was this the
case with Happy Hooligan and Gloomy
Gus, who turned over the sod around
the young trees and picked up scraps
All through the operations Gus wore
a very tired look, and it is safe tt
predict that ere nightfall he felt tha
he had earned long and peaceIu
nights rest. Morgan, the Raider,
with companion, carried clods O.
dirt and refuse to the back lot and his
excessive energy in lifting and dump
ing caused one of the handles tt
break off, which was the cause of the
receptacle's being put out of commits
sion, as the weary laborers were al
too tired to mend 1t.

opens STATIONS
State Beard Of Railroad CON-
RissioneFS Hold Meet
ing at MinOt
Succeed in Having Number
| Of 6. N. Stations Re-
opened by Road

Secretary Foley of the railway
commission returned on the noon
train from Minot where the regular
meeting of the railroad commission
was held, and attended by Presi-
dent Deisem, Commissioner Stafne
and Westby and Attorney General
McCue. The principal matter be-
fore the commission was the pro-
posed closing of large number of
stations on the Great Northern road,
some fifteen or twenty in all. A
great many of these stations do not
show receipts enough to warrant
the continuance of a station under
Section 1905 of the Code, which
provides that station shall have at
least $4,000 of outgoing freight
and $4,000 of incoming freight be-
fore the continuous maintenance OF
station can be compelled. The
commission several days ago, when
the proposed closing of the stations
was first reported, requested the
Great Northern to defer any action
until after the Minot meeting when
hearing would be had At the
meeting at Minot, the commission
required the maintenance of all sta.
lions that come within the law and
also prevailed upon the officials OF
the company to keep open a number
of stations where the legal enforce.
ment of the open station could moi
have been insisted upon. The com,
pany agreed to reopen Landa, 6
station in Bottineau county that hat
been closed, Surrey, a station il
Ward county and a number of sta
tions in Grand Forks and othe,
counties. Several stations, where
the receipts have shown a continu
al falling off and where they are fal
below the legal requirements, will
be closed.
A number of other requests TO-
improvements were heard and will
be taken up by the commission
One or two matters of side tracks
where there are protests or wher
there are different opinions as t,
where sidings should be built, will
| be taken up later by the commits
sion at general hearing.

| torney generals Office, was at Mino

BAD fire AvERTED
BUSINESS BLOCK IN HEART OF
CITY NARROWLY ESCAPES
BEING BURNED.
HUGE WOOD PILE I'M REAR OF
riOMRN'S BAKERY ON
FIRE.

About 5:T0 O'Clock Thursday after
noon, while. the wind storm was prob
ably at its worst, the Mocking Bird
blew chromatic scale up and down
vociferously, and soon the curfew bell
tolled enough curfews to last for two
months. OF course everyone in the
city who was not deaf knew that the
case of the din was fire, and imme-
diately the fear for the city's safety
came uppermost in the minds of all
For beyond doubt had the fire been a
pretentious one, it would have swept
the city, as it could not well have
been curbed with such a fierce wind
to feed the flames.
It was found that the immense wood
pile in the rear of Romans bakery
was ablaze, and in very short time
the fire department had arrived and
had two streams of water playing on
| the burning pile. BY $3.50 the fire
was all out and the vast crowd OF
spectators heaved a sigh of relief and
| mentally gave vote of praise to the
efficient work of the volunteer fire
| men.
But before the firemen had arrived
men and boys rushed to the scene,
just west Of the 500 hotel. They
pulled stick after stick of wood from
the burning pile at the risk of sus-
tanning serious burns, and did much to
retard the progress of the flames.
The cause of the fire was asked of
Mrs. John Holman, who was the first
on the scene, and had it not been for
her first efforts probably the fire
would have assumed much more Sc
rious proportions. She carried bucke'
after bucket of water to the flames
and subdued them until the alarm was
turned in, which was done by Miss
aMry Hancock. Mrs. Homan stated
that the fire originated from hot ashes
thrown from the 500 hotel the real
! of which is but a short distance from
the huge wood pile, which were blown
and imsdiately ignited.
The fire caused a great deal of eX
to the infiammable bark of the wocC
element, and Mr.. Romans wood pile
is completely flooded with water.

TWO Blind
Pigs LESS
Officers Make Raids Thurs.
day Noon and Find Plenty
Of Evidence
Old Western House Across
Tracks Is Now Doing
Less Business

Bismarck has two less blind pigs
now than it had Wednesday; the
Western hotel and the place of bust
ness of one John KiImer;, situated
about a block east on the same side
of Front street. The closing of the
Illegal thirst parlors are the reslt of
raids made ON the places about noon
Thursday. Search warrants ant the in
stance of J. p. Brandt were, served by
Policeman Hugh McCrorie and Con-
stable Frank Carr.
When the men entered the old
Western house they were, met by
Claud Ransom, the proprietor of the
place. They wished to search the
place, as the warrant provided, but
Ransom rather demurred, it is said.
Finally insistence won out and at the
end of the search the officers had one
full barrel of beer, two empty barrels
of bottles and one case of empty beer
bottles as trophies of the hunt
Operations were then transferred to
the Kilmer domicile, but the bird there
had flown, taking with him all his
goods and chattels. 1t was whispered
merely whispered-about the city,
that Kilmer had received a tip earlier
in the day, but this is merely runlor
and the story that he got ''cold feet
from the Driscoll raid of the proceed
ing evening is more plausible. For il
seems strange that anyone would
warn John of the intentions of the law
So Carr and Hugh came back tC
town-and ate dinner
In the afternoon Brandt swore out {
warrant before Judge Gilbert for the
arrest of Bert Sergeant on the charge
of illegally selling liquor, and NEGRO
RE, armed with the document, wen
over to the Western house. But Sar
gent had undoubtedly taken the hin
from some one that more was to fol
low the raid, and up to late hour h
had not been apprehended.
