the city of Temple as agreed!: had |
been discharged, (with respect to the I
bond issue first named, a cremation-
certificate was demanded* the council i
was placed at ease while the commit-
tees and Judge Banks and water |
works officials retired for a confer-j
ence. This went through the space>
of an hour; and the council again:
sitting for business, a motion was]
made by Alderman Crawford, second- j
ed by Alderman Fouts, that the re-j
port of the Joint committees be adopt-
ed. save and except that part asking
for their discharge; also the form of j
deed submitted be approved. This j
was unanimously carried.
Other business transacted was to
receive and approve the official bond |
from Mr. G. W. Rowland, lately ap-j
pointed city treasurer, which is In I
the sum of 825,000, and is signed by |
him, and the following gentlemen as |
sureties as required by law? W. S. 1
Rowland. Chas. M. Campbell. P. W.I

it the books of the Temple Water j

pose of receiving from Judge W. S. j
Banks, his recommended form of es- j
crow-agreement, to be entered into by j
the city, in compliance with the con-1
ditions insisted upon by the Chicago'
bond-buyers that the deed to the wa- j
ter works plant be placed in escrow, j
pending the receipt here of the funds i

Resolutions of Bespeet.
Once again the L. A. to B. R. T.
resigns a beloved sister, a noble mem-
ber of the Auxiliary to sweet rest be-
neath the sod.' She sleeps there be-
side her little ones, for e'n in death
she fain would be their "OuardlBn
Angel still." Sleeps where the faint
breath of flowers spend their dainty
fragrance on the winds, where the
evening breeie gently wafts their per-
fume. They droop their heads and
meekly lisp in language mute "Two
hearts and one body lies burled here"
and sweetly the Vlnd brings back the
echo "Gone but not forgotten."
Emma McKinley, cherished sister,
friend and comrade, an Angel's hand
beckoned thee on safely across the
Great Divide March Jlst, 1808.
Yes, we miss thee—thy heart and
life was ever with the Auxiliary—a
life whose ambition was all that Is
grand and noble—a wife whose pure
devotion was the theme of a lifetime
—a daughter, the cheering comfort
of a father's declining years—a sister
whom the orphaned brothers had
made their ideal since childhood. As
the Auxiliary bows their head in
meek submission to God above, with
tear dimmed eyes and sorrowing
hearts, we extend our sympathy to
the devoted husband, father, brothers
relatives and friends, for when life'i
sun may set for each may there be an
unbroken circle in the Great Beyond
Be It
Resolved, That a copy of these res
options be sent Ibe family, a'copy
