October 10 they sought out the mayor
of the city, Mr. Fuller, the Hon H. f.

The mayor being the son of a former

Grave was opened and the bones
carefully removed and placed in box
for transportation to this city and
were brought here by Judge Davis and
DR. Shaffer on October 3d. When the
bones were gathered up no part OF the
skull was found This fact was dis
cussed and both DR.. Shaffer and Judge
Davis doubted that the skull had been
buried or if so it had been removed
at a later date. In course of time, in
1887, the present monument to Chief
Keokuk was erected in Rand park
and encased in the monument was a
copper box bearing Chief Keokuk' S

Judge Davis was a man who COM
pleted whatever task he began. The
more he thought about the absence of
Keokuk's skull, the more determined
he became to find it's whereabouts.
Accordingly he made another trip to
Kansas and Systematically and per-
sstently sought information regarding
the skull. He found it finally in the
lodge room of secret order in OF
tawa He agreed to give the officers
Of the lodge the finest skull which
could be bought if they would give in
exchange Keokuks skull. This they
did and Judge Davis brought it back
to this city. 1t has been carefully
taken care of by the family until such
time as the monument could be open
ed up and the skull encased with the
other bones. Now that the monument
I is to be reduced in height for the
placing of the bronze statue, oppor
tunity is gives for the burial of the
skull.

there Is no law by which smoking can
be prohibited.
Politicians announced that they
will invoke court action In an attempt
to prevent women from acting as
