had been i'll with pneumonia since
Sunday evening, week ago, and
there had been little hope of his re.

age. Mr.. Dillon was IS years old and
had lived in Colorado since 1872.
Few men had a wider circle of
friends and acquaintance than j. S.
Dillon. Throueh his long connection
with the Republican he was known
personally to many of the older sub
scribers and the familiar figure will
be greatly missed With one eXcep-
ton he held the record for longest
continuous service on this paper and
was probably the Oldest newspaper
man in active Selaice in the city. Mr..
Dillon was also p prominent member
of the Denver G. A. R., having a rec
ord of four years of hard military SER
vice, and numbered many of the old
soldiers of the city among his per-
sonal friends. He was a member OF

IS YEARS IN BUSINESS

Sunday morning at 7;15. George J.
Leming, one of Keokuk's oldest resi-
dents, passed peacefully away at the
family residence, 800 Exchange street,

ness. tuberculosis was the cause of
Mr. Jennings death and he had been.
confined to his home since last sum-
mer and i'll for nearly three years
with the ailment which took him
away.
Mr.. Leming had for. more than
thirty-five years been engaged in the

there for some time. 1t was more
than half century ago that he came
to keokuk to make his home and he
lad since resided here.
His marriage to Anna Eliza Hogan
on June 8, 1869, is well remembered
by many old friends Of the family. To
the unioHS a son, II. Arthur Leming,
of this city was born, who has been
engaged in business with his father
for a number of years at Ninth and
Main streets.
Mr.. I.eming learned the paint trade
in Keokuk many years ago. Previous
TO taking UP that vocation, he was a
bookkeeper and surveyor. but his
health failing he was forced to give
up the more active calling.
Almost every one in Keokuk knew
Mr.. Leming. As some one said to
day. his friends were numbered by his
acquaintances. and they were many
He was man OF honest and success
ful endeavor, giving to those about
him the very best he knew how and
in that manner, he came to be liked
by all. SO that his death has caused
much sorrow.

al Trovatore."

III Trovatore."
The great success of the Aborn Eng
lish Grand Opera Company in the larg-
er cities of America during the past
ten years has been won, first of all
by the use of our familiar language in
their presentations instead of foreign
tongues; second by their policy of Sc
lecting the best American talent avail
able and maintaining an eeenly bal
anced and highly efficient cast instead
OF featuring one OF two expensive
stars of big reputation surrounded by
mediocrity; and third, by giving only
such operas as can be appreciated and
enjoyed by the general run OF music
lovers, whether highly accomplished
musicians or merely possessing a
natural ear for music Such operas
have been chosen for their engage
ments for one night each in few
cities, including Tuesday night, jan

Keolluk.
yerdi's most familiar work, and by
all means his most popular, III Troy.
atore," will be given as the offering
for Keokuk's one night. While this
opera is always a great favorite in all
European countries, it is more partic-
ularly the most popular opera in
America, for no known reason except
for the wonderful wealth OF melodies
it contains. In this opera, as in
"Rigoletto,' it seems as if the mar
velous genius of Verdi fairly outdid
itself in the continuous strain Of
striking, decided and beautiful melo
dies that follow one after another, all
of that irresistible style which endeai
it particularly to the unschooled and
nnpretentious music lovers whose one
object in attending the opera is pleas
ure. Not until the love for melody dies
will verdi's beautiful III Trovatore'
cease to be a favorite in the grand
opera repertoire.

and later with the Twenty-tnird ave-
nue. branch since he had been resi-
dent of Denver.
Few men were SO universally re-
spected by t,.eir friends and asso-
ciates as j. S. Dillon. He was gentle,
kind and considerate OF others, and it
is not believed that he had an en-
envy in the world
Mr.. Dillon was born in Belmont
county. Ohio, Jan. "a, 1886 His fam
lily moved while he was still boy to
Warsaw, in Hancock county, Illinois,
and he was one of the first in that
county to answer President Lincoln's
call for volunteers.
Four years of the hardest kind of
service is the record of his military
life. Enlisting as a private when
little more than a boy. he came out
Of the army at the close of the war
with the rank of captain and record
of which any soldier would have a
right to feel proud He was wounded
only once during the war, having
been shot during the Vicksburg cam
paign. He was member OF Com.
pany G, One Hundred and Eighteenth
Illinois volunteers
AT the close of the war Mr.. Dillon
returned to his home in Hancock
county, Illinois, and was honored by
being twice elected sheriff of that
county. He was one of the first re.
publicans to carry this county, which
remained strongly democratic in spite
of the fact that it was located ia the
state Of Lincoln
He came to Colorado in 1872 and
had been connected with the morning
newspapers Of the city practically con-
tinuously since that time, He was
first OH the News, coming to the Re-
publican in the early eighties. Many
of the men now employed in the bust
ness Offices OF the Denver papers be-
gan as carriers under Mr.. Dillon and
he will be remembered by not few
of the older generations of Denver
boys who had newspaper routes in
their younger days.
Dillon had been prominent worker
in the Presbyterian church practically
all of his life He was for years con-
nected with the Central Presbyterian
church and when the branch church
was started at Twenty third avenue
he became one of it's leading mem
bers. He had held numerous church
offices during the last 80 years and
| the church loses one of its most be-
! loved and faithful members in his
! death.
! Mr.. Dillon was member of the
Byron L. Carr post of the G. A. r. and
had always taken leading part In
the activity of this organization.
In spite of his advanced age Mr.
Dillon was an active and vigorous
man. He was apparently in the best
of health before he was stricken with
pneumonia. There was but little
hope of his recovery from the first
and his death has been expected for
several days.

sons and one daughter: w. T. Dillon

house for one night only, Monday eve
ming February 9th. The play is by
the authors of Three Twins THE
Girl of My Dreams and Madam Sher-
ry," Charles Dickson having written
the book, Otto Hauerbach the lyrics
and Karl Hoschna the music. The
play is based on the popular farce,
Mistakes Will Happen and the
story is complete and logical, thing
seldom found in musical comedies To
fit this story Mr.. Hoschna has written
some very pleasing and tuneful melo-
dies and Mr.. Hauerbachs lyrics are
bright and clever. The large chorus,
which is incidental to the story, has
been selected carefully for the ability
of its members as we'll as for their
beauty and Mr.. Gates states that he
believes it is one of the strongest
singing and dancing choruses ever
sent out of New York. The play has
been given a complete and elaborate
scenic setting, and there has been in.
troduced number of novel and elab
crate mechanical and electrical, eff
fects. Each chorus girl makes al
least ten changes OF costume during
the play and the principals are also
deliberately costumed.
