In this improved condition he

vowed he would soon return and
make her his wife. This beautiful
girl wished eight years for Wit

three years she had not received a
word from her neglected lover.
Giving him up for dead, she mar

husband died during the war. She

a beautiful daughter. On the old
miners return he found the mother
dead, but In her stead this beauti-

His love for the child knew no

that she was not his old sweet

Never was a man happier than

he refused to believe it and added
to her happiness by laying in her

MASTER PLUMBERS ORGANIZE.
A Meeting Last Night-The Local In

w. t. McGurrin. vice president OF the
Master Plumbers Association, Is in the city
for the purpose OF organizing here an as
sociation Of master plumbers. Mr.. McGurrin
Is from Grand Rapids, Mich. and his gen.
eral appearance indicates that business has
been good in that city. Last evening Mr.
McGurrin met dozen or more of the master
plumbers of indianapolis at the Bates House.
where his proposition was received and the
first steps taken for an organization in this
city. James McGauly was chosen chairman,
William Wilcox secretary and T.. j. Clark
treasurer. 1t Is the intention TO organize
master plumbers of the State into one body
which shall cooperate with the national
association.
II was said by the plumbers represented
at the meeting that no Increase of prices Is
contemplated. The organization is proposed
for the protection OF the public against cheap
and inferior work. which has brought In

State which shall provide for first-class and
sanitary work. Competent inspectors are
wanted in each city. The association pro-
poses to raise the standard OF the work SO
only practical men can be in IL. Incidentally
the inspector question of Indianapolis came
up for consideration. Nearly all of the
plumbers present are opposed to the way
In which the present Board of Health pro-
poses to regulate plumbing.
We are not opposed to an ordinance nor
10 an Inspector" explained one of the master
plumbers after the meeting .'On the other
nand we want a strict ordinance and a
competent inspector. There Is one thing to
which We do object, however and that is
making the position political one. The
Board Of Health would tie Us hand and foot
and leave US at the mercy of some man
who knows no more about plumbing than
we are supposed TO know about medicine
We object to ordinance in the hands
OF some man who can be appointed simply
because he is a Democrat. Let assurance
be given that man who understands the
business will be appointed and We have
little complaint, but naturally we object
to an inexperienced man being appointed
to a position where he is given the power
to condemn and order torn out thousands
Of dollars worth OF work"
