withdrew the name of Governor

loting began it seemed that the Bryan
Wilson contingent in the convention
had definitely settled upon Governor
Joseph e. Burke of North Dakota.
There was not much of fight, how
ever, and when two ballots disclosed
Marshall easily in the lead, Governor
Burkes name was Withdrawn and Mar

reclamation. A minute later the con-

The Democratic convention at its

On the first ballot on Tuesday-the
REPRESENTATION jumped from 494
votes to COZ.
Then came the forty-fifth. It was
disappointing in a way, for Clark held

Sunday, December 10Th, will ever
be memorable day in the history OF
the local Methodist church as the
date of the dedication of their third
house of worship in this city. The
first little church to be erected was
built the year after the close of the
Civil War. This in turn was re-
placed by the more pretentious
building of 1886, which was de-
scribed in that day as a thoroughly
modern church in every way and a
building that was a credit to the
community at large. But this, too,
served it's day and last spring went
the way of the little church OF go
and was RACED to the ground that in
its place might be reared the beau
tiful, spacious and modernly equip
ped temple in the dedication OF
which the entire city rejoiced Sum
day.

yaulted ceiling SO simply and chaste-

THE DEDICATION SERVICES OF
THE new METHODIST CHURCH

most perfect and the voices of the
speakers of the morning and evening
services could be heard in almost ev-
cry part of the building.
The basement, though not yet
completed and for that reason not
open to the public Sunday, has
been divided into reception and
dining room, a kitchen, furnace
room and one large room extending
under the main auditorium of the
church, but not yet finished. All
will be electric lighted and the floors
constructed of cement. 1t is hoped
that the basement will be in condi-
ton for the serving of the New
Years dinner in which the members
of the church will join in thanks
giving and rejoicing over the COM
pletion of their great undertaking.
The exterior of the church has be-
come familiar to all the residents OF
the city during the past few months
and admiration for its Victorian
style of architecture and the light
colored brick with plain stone trim
mings used in it's construction has
grown steadily. J. c. Fulton of
Uniontown, Pa, was the architect
and the beauty and spaciousness and
comfort of this building all are po-
tent recommendations of his success
in his speciality, the planning of
churches. DR.. Straight and Mr..
Sneider of Hastings, Neb., who are
at present consulting with Mr.. Full
ton for a church in their city, were
present Sunday to inspect this
building and were more than pleas
ed with it.
The cost of the building OF course
has been very vital one from the
very beginning of it's construction
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-12-31

to the pastor who for so many
months had borne the brunt of the
burden of it's building, and Rev.
Kamphoefner, in his characteristic,
modest and earnest manner, read
the declaration of dedication, which
was followed by the dedicatory
prayer by DR.. Macdonald, the dis
trict superintendent. The service
closed with the singing of the long
meter doxology and the people were
dismissed with sthe injunction to
shake hands all around and the ben
edictiQn was pronounced by DR.. Tiff.
In the raising of this amount there
were four whose contributions
reached the $1,000 mark, aside from
the $4,000 from George Herr Rein
ECKER. F. A. Huddlestun gave to the
amount of $500 to which w. c..
tombstone added $1,000, Alexander
Groves $1,000, VIM. Arnold $1,000.
The Eltekah and st. Andrews classes
have also subscribed $1,000 each and
the ladies aid society $500 to the
church and $1,000 to the organ.
E. Fl. Martin has also very gener-
ously offered to install telephone
and give free service for five years.
VIM. Arnold has offered to donate
the tables for the dining room and
the Foster furniture company have
given hundred pieces of each kind
of dishes needed. Mrs. Mary E.
Remington a few months before her
death last year, donated a sewing
machine and chiffonier. With the
aluminium kitchen ware already on
hand this leaves but a few more
kitchen utensils and dining room
dishes and table linen still to be pro-
vided for.
Another gift, which in dol
lars and cents does not equal some
others, still in view of the value of
what it represents, its worth is
priceless, was picture taken and
framed and presented to the board
of trustees by James Traver. This
was the picture of the pastor whose
faith and patience and perseverance
has continued steadfast when others
failed; whose untiring efforts have
saved the church much in dollars
and cents In this enterprise, and
who by his earnestness and sincerity
has endeared himself to all. Too
much cannot be said for his part in
this work and yet words are but
poor expression for the gratitude
which his people feel.
The building committee, too, have
spent many anxious hours and days
in the management of the building
and they deserve all the thanks that
can be given.
The church greatly appreciates
the interest which has been taken |

Invents Steel Fence Post.

Jewell Record: H. G: Peterson
has made his application for patents
on an invention on which he has.
been working for some time past
that seems to have all the ear-marks
of good thing, The invention is a.
means of attachment of fence wire
to steel posts, a proposition that has
not heretofore been very satisfact-:
orily solved. In Mr.. Peterson's In
vention three-cornered angle steel
posts are used, notches being left in
the angle corner through which the.
fence wires pass and are secured in
place by wire dropping down from
the top of the post. Here's hoping
it proves a real winner.

and great indeed was the surprise OF
those not intimately acquainted with
the project to learn that the entire
cost exclusive of the pipe organ, to-
tailed only $31,049.23. DR.. Tiff, in
speaking of the finances Sunday,
said that for at least forty Sundays
Of every year he went all over the
United States defeating churches
and he did not recall ever having
dedicated so fine church which
cost less than $4,000. He humor-
ously remarked that had there been
any graft in the matter it had gone
in the opposite direction from the
usual one and the trustees had GER
tainly gotten full value received for
every dollar expended He also jest
ingly wondered if the contractor
would care to duplicate the building
at the same price.
The morning service began at 10
o'clock and at that hour the church
was well filled with people who con-
tinued to come, however, until ev-

design and workmanship of the dec
Grating being that of one of the
church's own members, George l..
Shryock, the church with its lecture
room and adjoining class rooms,
with it's galleries extending around
the entire interior of the building
and its pipe organ filling, every
room and gallery and recess with the
strains of it's soul-stirring music, was
for the first time thrown open to the
public, who gathered in large num-
bers to view its beauty and witness
the dedication of the edifice to AL
mighty God. One of the features of
the building at which one and all
marvelled was the spaciousness of
1t and the ease with which lecture
room, galleries and smaller class
rooms and parlors could be thrown
into one room from almost any part
OF which the entire platform and
front of the church could be seen
without difficulty. The acoustic
