4 NEW TEMPLE
TaR Erected By Cur Jewish People
 Elected Officers and Trustees.

Members of congregation Anshe Emesh held their annual meeting aud election of officers at the Temple Sunday evening.
 Owing to the absence of President Gabe Meyer, who is soiouroed at Hot Springs, Vice President M. Hanf presided. Secretary C. B. Moore was,a!so present. Thereports of the various officers and the min-
 utes of the last meeting were read
 and approved. An amendment to
 the bylaws was introduced relative
 to marriage ceremonies performed
 by the local Rabbi. It was adopted.
 Rabbi Joseph Kornfeld was re-
 elected without opposition as leader of the congregation for term
 of two years. His election was unanimous. The officers elected are
 as follows: Sol Miller, president;
 D. L Franklin, viee-president; F. E M. R6sen berg, treasurer; G. B.
 Moore, secretary; A. F. Dreyfus, 2 sexton. An able corps of trustees was elected. They are: E. B. d Bloom, Chas. Veil. Ga5e Me yer, y Adolph Bluthenthal and M. Hanf. Chas. Deutch was reelected col \ Hector.
 Congregation Anshe Emeth is in C very fine condition ard the various I reports of the officers submitted last l evening show the organization to Ii be in better standing than has ever t been known before.
 N The next annual meeting and s election of officers will probably be s held in a new and handsome edifice, ]. for the trustees are figuring on a proposition by which they will sell their present property and build a | new Temple, to cost about $20, 900, on another thoroughfare. Quite a \ large sun of that amount was raised Ii at tbe Jewlsh Frir given in this city last year. It is still in the bank for the sixgle purpose of building a i new church building.
