NOuUhy
Bismarck, Feb. 11.-After an ILL.,
ness extended from November 6,
when he was first taken i'll, M. H.
Jewell, editor of the Bismarck Tri-
bune, died last night at II O'Clock
Of heart dilation complicated with
pneumonia. He has been able to
leave the house but a few times since
he was taken sick.
No arrangements for the funeral
have been made as yet, but the serv-
icess will undoubtedly be conducted
by the Masonic lodge as he has long
been a member of that organization.
Editor Jewell was one of the best
known newspaper men of the north
west and his demise will cast feel
ing of sorrow over the entire frater-
nifty and in many circles where Mr..
Jewell was well and personally
known. For, 33 years he has been
editor of the Bismarck Tribune and
he has been prominent in newspaper
and political life long before North
Dakota became a state. He was born
in Hector, N. Y. April 20, 1857.
In brief mention of the death of
the moving spirit of the Tribune,
which Mr.. Jewell has been for many
years, the Tribune said today:
ellis illness was due to over work
and over worry, due to the many in
cidental deails of the management
of an enterprise that demands the
best of mans efforts and labors.
He has been a patient and cheerful
invalid, always optimistic, always
looking to the time when he should
be again in the vanguard of those
who were seeking to advance the in
terests of Bismarck, the Missouri
Slope and the state Of North Dakota." !"
For several weeks it has been fear
ed that his illness was beyond mortal
aid, and that there was no hope of
his recovery. But he has never Civ
en- up the fight, and his death came
easily, peacefully, without struggle or
pain-just the swapping instantly Of
that frail cord that binds life to it's
temple of mortality. Not long before
his death he exchanged greetings with
his family and manifested that old
and familiar spirit of cheerfulness and
good humor that characterized him
always.
HE leaves a wife, his mother-in-
law, Mrs. R. B. Woods, and two sons,
Paul, and Ralph. The elder son,
Paul, is attending St. Thomas college
at st. Paul, where he has been for
some months.
The funeral will be held under the
auspices of the knight Templars.
The funeral of the late Marshall
H. Jewell, thirty years editor of the
Bismarck Tribune, who passed away
Friday night, occurred Monday after
noon from the Bismarck Presbyterian
church. kilograms of coincidence
were received from all over the coun-
try. A resolution was passed by the
senate, the house of representatives
concurring, of the state of North Da-
kota, appointing joint committee
to draft appropriate resolutions,
which shall express in apt and appro-
PIRATE language the sentiment of
the legislative assembly concerning
the death of Mr.. Jewell, one Of the
pioneers and foremost citizens of this
state. The senate and house of rep
resentatives adjourned in honor of
the late editor.
A large number Of sorrowful
friends attended the funeral services
which were in charge of Tancred
Commandery, knights Templar, Of
which the deceased was past emf
nent commander, the body being con-
veyed to the church from the house
by an escort Of Knights Templar.
The services were simple and the
pail bearers were chosen from the
various departments Of the Bismarck
Tribune.
