be enjoyed by our citizens this evening
The baccalaureate service at the
Rldgeway theater Sunday evening was
attended to the full capacity of the thea
ter, the scene being inspiring. The stage
setting was unique. Flowers and potted
plants followed the footlights from end
to end in artistic display, while behind
were banked the High school graduating
class, the faculty, ministers of the local
churches and all those taking part in
the interesting ceremonies. The printed
program was carried out. The baccs-
laureate sermon by Rev. ]. Herbert
Bainton was a scholarly address, con-
tanning food for thought, not only by
the class Of graduates, but for all who
heard it.
1t was left for Wednesday evening,
however, for the High school pupils, in
the class day exercises in the High school
auditorium, to get in their deadly work
in hits and insinuatiOns on teachers and
comrades alike, which was greatly en-
joyed by the large audience present. This
included the experiences OF some OF the
teachers, and contained many personal
thrusts. Names and dates were given
without reserve. Other amusing stunts
were given to the edifcation OF all, and
the whole was accepted in the spirit in
tended. The program included the class
poem, class history, class prophecy, mu,
sic and other features noted above.

CORNER STONE Of
NEW CHURCH LAID
Interesting Ceremonies Took
Place Last Sunday.
Dr.. E. c. Gibson of Spokane DeIiv-
cred Appropriate Address, Box,
Containing Various Articles, De.
posted in Corner Stone.

The laying of the corner stone OF the
new NJ. E church Sunday afternoon was
attended by large number of people,
many outside the regular attendants OF
the church being in evidence among the
multitude. The day was perfect for such
an event, a not altogether cloudless sky
beating back the hot rays of the sun
which would probably have been mani.
Test but for that, and not drop OF rain
falling to put a damper on the proceed
ings.
A temporary platform had been erected
inside the stone wall filing the corner
facing Mill and Canyon streets. and on
this platform the exercises took place.
An organ was lifted onto the platform,
and the choir OF the church, under the
leadership OF Ellis Laird, sang several
pieces appropriate to the occasion.
The usual services OF the Episcopal
church were observed throughout. Rev.
n. Nj. Jones opened the exercises by read
ing prayer. Dr.. E. c. Gibson of Spo-
kane read chapter from the Bible, and
after placing a metal box containing
articles OF various kinds relative to the
church and the building thereof in the
corner stone, delivered a short but ap-
prOpriate address, which was listened to
with interest. The metal box was made
and presented to the church by Simon
Dreiius K Co., and contained pictures of
the pastor of the church, the building
committee, the architect and other func-
tiOnaries OF the church, besides a copy
OF the COlfax CommOner, and a copy of
The Cofax Gazette containing the first
account published OF the plans to erect
the proposed new building. This copy
OF The Gazette is dated February 3,
1911. Numerous cards we're placed in
the corner stone alongside the metal
box by people in attendance, which Just
about filled it to capacity. The corner
stone was presented to the church by
Samuel Casseday OF the Casseday marble
works.
The stone wall which fills the basement
will require two Or three days to com
plete it, when the laying OF brick will
commence. From the plans submitted
the building will be complete for the
uses intended, besides being architectur
ally beautiful.
Rev. ". A. Diggins, who was present,
was called to the platform and pro-
nounced the benediction, when the large
gathering dispersed.
The new building will cost about
$4,000. Architecture is Gothic. A
gymnasium, kitchen, reading room,
boiler room, etc., will occupy the base
ment. Two or more memorial windows
will be put in place before the building
is dedicated. 1t occupies ground space
OF 5Ox6O feet, exclusive of the annex

initiated last Sunday evening is the
third one since the order was established
in Colfax.

X. of c. Building.

In this connection it is pleasing to
note that the Knights of Columbus, in
view OF their rapid growth, are planning
to erect K. OF G. building in Colfax, on
a slightly location and modern and up
to-date in every particular. 1t will be
provided with gymnasium, reading room,
a banquet hall and all the accessories
that go with it, in addition to the lodge
and ante rooms that will occupy the
main space of the building. Plans are
not all complete yet, but they will soon
be announced and we will see the build

AFTERMATH OF EXPLOSION
O.-W. r. & N. Railway Must Pay
Heavy Damages.

In the federal court at Spokane last
Saturday, before Judge Rudkin, Mrs.
Lucy Buchanan, vile of a car repairer
killed by an explosion of dynamite dur
ing fire in the O-W. R. & n. railway
section house at Winona in July, 1907,
was awarded verdict for $50, 900 after
short deliberation. The suit was for
$4,000, the railroad admitting it's lia-
bility. Mrs Buchanan is a sister OF
Mrs. Frank Squibb OF Colfax. She lives
in Pullman. The explosion noted above
filed large space in the papers at the
time, it being a mystery why explosives
should be stored next to section house,
as was the case at Winona. There has
been motion filed for a new trial and
the matter has been taken under advise
meRt by the court.

well McSween, son of, w. j. McSween,
prominent lawyer Of Newport, was
shot and instantly killed to-day in

the same train to-day, the tragedy
followed
