Over a year ago it was voted by the union to pay $100 to the temple fund upon condition that temple bonds were to be re- tired. This has never been dome, howev owing to the incoming of a new adminis- tration and the uncertainty of the out- come of the temple situation, and wh the matter was brought up In a mee! several weeks ago it was urged that the money be paid as voted by the union, con- slderable discussion arose and it became evident that there was a strong feeling in the matter.

Three weeks after she left his service he saw her on the streets with her mother, but does not know when she left the city. While the girl was in Walidelich's office she recelved many letters, several from Murray, whom she had known for seme time. The old man, 80 Waidelich understood, two ‘or three son, came to also.
