Annual Funeral Mass.

ROME, July 19.-Cardinals and
leading prelates from all parts of the
world began reaching here today for
the annual funeral mass which will be
celebrated in the Sistine chapel of
the vatican tomorrow on the occasion
of the anniversary of the death Of
Pope Leo XIII. A goodly portion of
the diplomatic corps in Rome credited
to the vatican which had left the city
for the summer, returned today for
the ceremonies. The mass tomorrow
will be the first one in ten years that
have elapsed since the death of Pope
Leo, at which the music of the ia
nous Sistine choir will not be directed
by Monsignor Perosi. The latter, for
the past two months has been suffer
ing from nervous breakdown SO severe
that the pontificial physicians will not
permit him to resume the direction Of
the choir.

PARIS, July 19--By papal decree

bishop of his diocese, while those al

of the most picturesque figures IN

his seat, resign from the chamber or
quit the church. His case is attract

the power he wished to make the do
notion for the company. Secretary J..
p. Allen and Dexter P. Cooper OF the
power company were present at the

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Hippodrome's Summer Season.
There is no need for Keokuk people
to go in want for entertainment dur
ing the present heated spell for the
lIIippodrome, that theater OF theaters
where amusement is ever to be had
In its best form, has provided excel
lent bills for the week to come. Last
night the complete score from the
musical comedy, Miss Nobody From
Starland.' was played by the full or
chestra and this evening THE Gold
len Girl score will be heard. The
latest and best photo plays are to be
seen at the Hippodrome, including the
Bison and other film productions that
are used only in the first class pic

The Airdome at its Best.

Ever since the opening of the Air
dome theatre on Thursday evening,
last, people have continued to praise
the character Of the performances
that are now being seen in that
popular and cool place of amusement.
Each evening has seen the first show
crowded to capacity and the second
performance is witnessed always by
more than a two-third house.
The strongest number of the pres
ent bill is the performing bears Of
Towards. These long haired anil
mails Of the forest, usually slow In
their actions, are here seen in one
of the most clever acts that is staged
today in the same manner. Accomp-
Ianying the bears are four dogs and
two people, making the act one OF
the most complete Of its kind. The
pleasure of the opening was greatly
increased by the presence of the
bears, let al.
| Frances and DeMar, singers and
musicians, are exceedingly classy in
their entertainment, giving the lovers
of harmony something to dwell on
in their conversation for several days.
These vocalists and instrumentalists
are more than pleasing the hundreds
of patrons Of the re-opened Airdome
Harvey G.. Hull, Keokuk's popular
! male vocalist, Is again pleasing the
many with his sterling voice.
Two shows are given each evening,
one at 7:45 and the other at 9:15. The
general admission is ten cents and
for the reserved section, which in
cludes admission, twenty cents. The
opportunity is golden to enjoy your
self at the Airdome. The Hulls have
the right idea for summer time en-
tertainment.-Adv.

The Jewell Family Tree

years OF citizenship here Is to be TAX
en- as a fair sample of the fruit it has
produced.
The early families IN this country
seem to have been residents of New
Jersey. Richard Jewell died at Gran
bury, Middlesex county, N. j., in 1757.
He is described as "yoeman' free
holder or farmer. He had ten chill
dren, five sons and five daughters.
George Jewell was the father Of
John Jewell directly from whom the
Keokuk branch of the family sprang.
He was born in Hartford county, Nd,
July Is, ITS, and died May Is. 1912.
He was member Of the Baltimore
, militia, engaged in the defense Of
Washington, d. O., in the war of
1872; came west to Madison, Ind,
about 1918 and was married to Mary
Gregory, a native Of Madison, in Bal
timore, October 4, 1910. He was a
second cousin OF James Fenimore
Cooper, the eminent American novel,
list. He, too, was "disowned" by a
Quaker society in 1906 "on informa-
tion received that he joined another
society, Methodist
William James Jewell was born In
Baltimore, Md. October 1, 1912, and
died in Keokuk, April IL, 1891. His
occupation was that or house, sign
and steamboat painter. He was asso-
ciated with his father in that line IN
Madison, Ind, and succeeded to the
business. He carried on the business
at Cincinnati, Ohio, combining his line
there to steamboat painting, in 1923,
and moved to Keokuk in 1855. He
was married. May 81, 1884, to Eliza
Ann Blackiston, native of Smyrna,
Del, at New Albany, Ind, Rev. w. v.
Daniel Of that city performing the
! ceremony.
There are many interesting Incl,

pared little book which lack of space

sonal branches of this family tree
held prominent positions Nm the pub
lie service of the United States, es.
pecially in the navy. performing the
duties without leaving a Flemish on
the family record.
Members of the family Of William
James Jewell have resided here for
a long term of years as boys and
girls, and men and women, and hav
always enjoyed the respect and con
fidence of their neighbors, associates
and the entire community. What
higher tribute can be paid to a man
and his offspring. 1t is well that Ber

There lies on the desk before the
writer little volume, In pamphlet
form, the title of which is as follows:
Descendants OF John Jewell and
partial list of descendants Of Richard
and George Jewell, compiled by Ben
b. Jewell. 315 High street, Keokuk,
Iowa, June, 1913"
This little volume, the printed mat
ter OF which contains only ten pages.
represents more care, diligent re-
search, patience. thoughtful cores
pondence and labor than is ordinarily
devoted to a much larger and more
pretentious work. Ben B. Jewell, the
compiler OF this valuable family rec,
ord, has compiled it as a labor of
love and reverence for his worthy an
cestors. He is painstaking and me-
thodical in all his work. He was a
bookkeeper and partner for many
years In one Of Keokuk's wholesale
grocery houses, and in the same posi-
ton and director in one Of Keokuk's
leading and prosperous banks for a
number OF years from which position
as bookkeeper he recently resigned.
He has always held valuable and i'm
portant positions as trustee and on
prominent committees In the Keokuz
public library, especially the book
committee of which he is an invalu-
able member on account of his know.
ledge OF literature and book-making.
He is a man Of much reading and is
eminently familiar with valuable
books and the kind that should be on
the shelves of carefully selected lib
| rary. He gives earnest attention to
these matters even to the smallest
detail, always safe and sound in his
| judgment and book selections. All
his work is done in careful and con.
| scientious manner and in compiling
| this work he has spent years in tedl
Gus, painstaking toll and has finally
turned over his work to the publisher
and it is printed.
Whence his name

paths of humble honesty, "a mans 8

There was then nine months when
Governor Hill was entitled to receive
salary as United States senator
while. at the same time. he was re-
ceiving salary as governor of New
York. Some criticism was publicly
expressed and good deal circulated
in private. for il was feared that
Governor Hill contemplated accept
ing both salaries, there being nothing
in the law to prevent his doing that,
He silenced all criticism. however.
when he took his seat in the United
States Senate by instructing the sec
rotary of the Senate, or whoever the
proper authority was, to return 10
the United States treasury depart
ment all of the salary which had ac-
cumulated between March and the
first of january following. which
amounted approximately to $4,000.
At that time it was the opinion Of
some lawyers that although Mr. Hill
had covered this money in the treas
ury, yet either he or his heirs could
draw it out if so disposed, for it still
stood as a credit to him.
While this discussion was in prog
ress, 1 asked the late Noah Davis,
who was for many years chief justice
Of one branch of the Supreme Court
of New York State, what his opinion
was respecting the ability of Mr.. Hill
or his heirs to withdraw that money
from the treasury.
Instead or answering me directly.
Judge Davis narrated to me an anec-
dote which he said was told to him
by General Francis Spinner. who was
treasurer of the United States for
nearly fifteen years, beginning with
President Lincoln's administration.
General Spinner told me. said
Judge Davis. that While he was
treasurer of the United States there
were innumerable attempts 10 get
money out of the treasury, but only
one voluntarily to get money into it.
He said. Judge, you remember what
q row was stirred up because Con-
gress. about 1871, adopted a resolution
