new CHURCH
I WAS DEDICATED

Woodwork, N. D., Sept. 18.-Sun-
day was a great day ir Woodwork
and lot soon will it be forgotten for
then it was that our Methodist church
was dedicated. Bishop Luccock Of
Helena was here in charge of the eX-
e~rcises, and with him was Superin-
tendent Danford of this district. The
first services were held at 8 p. m.
Saturday an dthe dedication took
place at 2 p. m. Sunday.
The First Methodist Episcopal
church of Woodwork Was organized
Sept. s, 1911, and in the following
October Bishop Mcintyre appointed
Rev. Ira E. Hammer pastor Of the
Pingree = Vashti - Woodwork circuit.
Early the next e plans were made
to build a church in Woodwork. Work
was begun in May, 1912, by excavat-
ing for the basement. The frame
work was begun about Aug. l, follow
ing n during the first part of
November the basement was COM
pleted and used for school purposes
n Sunday services. In March, this
year, the annex was finished inside
n temporary partitions were put in
the lower part and the gallery to af-
ford rooms for the pastor and his
famllyas no house no town could be
rented at mat Time. In the summer
THE main part of the upper structure
was plastered Inc finished inside and
out, and the work of putting in the
peWs and laying the floor. will be fin
lshed this week. One good feature
of the work in connection with secur-
ing the money to build such a church
Is that not one cent was raised by
chicken pie suppers, church fairs,
oyster stews, grab bags. or by enter
tainments of any kind whatsoever.
The congregation at Vashti form
ed a society in the early summer of
1912, under the title Of the Bethel
Methodist Episcopal church of. Pipe
stem Valley Township. Immediate
steps were taken to provide a church
building, Frank Archbold gave an
acre of ground, and the ground was
broken for the foundation early in
June 1912. The building was enclosed
and used first for a series of revival
meetings, conducted by Rev. Geo. A.
Finch, of Washburn, this state. At the
present time the building is completed
throughout and recently E. McCleary
presented the society with a first class
gas lighting plant which has been in
stalled. One Of the most gratifying
features of the dedication services at
Bethel last Sunday was the fact that
the trustees We're able to present the
edifice to the bishop with all bids
for material and labor paid, and with
no outstanding debts against the So
| ciety.

making such offer is released if the
stipulation is not complied with.
CD A letter offering to sell a piece
of real estate for a certain sum and
ending with the request "let me know

of such the offerer will be released.

and prior to the bringing of an &C
ton for specific performance no at
tempt has been made to forfeit the
contract On accOun of such failure,
and upon the trial plaintiff tenders
and offers to pay into court the. amount
of such taxes, such prior default will
not defeat an action for specific per-
Torrance.
(4) When in such a case the tend

est. the doctrine of de minimis non

purchaser to sell the property to a
third person will not defeat his right
to specific performance.
CO. A breach of an independent
covenant, as distinguished from a con-
dition which is not a material induce
ment to the contract, is not a bar TO
specific performance.
Cd Purchasers who nave not as
signed their contract Of purchase, but
who have agreed to sell to another
on other and different terms, are still
obligated to deliver good title to their
vendee, n an action for specific per-
Torrance against their vendors is
properly brought in their names.

Faiis Down o0-Foot Shaft, Break ing Ills Neck and Causing

Billy Williams, a layman on Billy Armstrong's claim on the left limit of No. 60 below discov- cry, Bonanza, fell down the full length of 9O-foot shaft on the claim at 8:45 o'clock this morn ing and was killed instantly. His neck was broken. Evidently he went headlong in the dizzy plunge and landed on the back of the neck.
 Billy Williams was 27 years old and a native of Wales. He had been in this country five or six years, and was spoken of by thos ? who knew him as a fine young man. He and Mark Watson, Gus Lind and Andy Carlson took a lay on the Armstrong ground short time ago, and were starting up this morning to take their first bucket of gravel from the shaft where the accident occurred.- Dawson News.

CATHOLIC PARTY
 AGAINST KAISER
Centrists' Threat to Desert Beth- mann-HoIIweg .Jeopardizes
 His Reichstag Majoriyt.

Berlin, Jan. 7.--Germany' $ 2i i,OO0,0OO Roman Catholics are on he threshold of a controversy with the Kaiser's government, which. according to their official spok asman, presages a bitter re- newal of Bismarck's ''kultur- kampf'' crisis and is pregnant with the most vital consequent ces to the security of Bethmann- HOllwegg's ChancellOrship.
 The Roman Catholic Centre Party, together with the Conserv- atives, constitute the only reliable parliamentary majority at the Chanccllor's disposal. If the Centrists, as they now openly threaten, declare war on Beth- mann -Hollweg, his position will be perilous in the extreme.
 The Chancellor has promptly taken up the Catholic challenge, according to an ''inspired' mani fcsto, and an outbreak of open hostiliticS would seem to be i'm minent.

vARDAMAN ASSIGNED TO IMPORTANT COM

Those who have all along claimed that
Senator Vardaman would be of little
service to his State because he would
not be in accord with his brother Sena-
tors, are doomed to disappointment.
Few men in the u. S. Senate have so
soon taken front rank in the greatest
deliberative body on earth. Senator
Vardaman is in full sympathy with the
progressive element of the dominant
party, having for years advocated the
progressive measures that are now in
the forefront of public thought. With
his courage, ability and unyielding
loyalty to his convictions, he is sure to
become a leader in the Senate in the
near future. His ability has already
been recognized by his appointment to
some of the most important committees
of the Senate, as follows:
Expenditures in the Post Office De-
