FUNERAL. TODAY
OF MRS. INEZ O'DONNELL

Church, Rev. DR.. Newcomb Con-
Quoting the Services.

The funeral of Mrs. Inez O'Donnell
was held at 2:30 o'clock this after
noon. The body lay at the undertake
ing parlors of Crimmins & Chase un-
til nearly the time announced for the
funeral and large number Of women
and others called there to view the
remains. Some OF them who gathered
there were relatives, mostly from out
of town, and many others were early
friends of the family, who were old
and respected residents OF Keokuk,
while others we're influenced to their
attendance by morbid curiosity from
the manner OF her sudden and tragic
taking off
At the proper hour the remains
were taken to the First Westminster
Presbyterian church where short and
impressive funeral ser1/.e was con-

upon her that he is christian, while
she is pagan.
Act by act this play unfolds the
glory and glitter of paganism, the in
science Of Roman domination, and the
fervent devotion Of the early chris
tian; leaving an ind elible impression
in the mind of the beholder. Or es-
pecial effect is the stirring climax of
the third act, the setting Of which is
the brilliant throne room of Emperor
Diocletian. Hare the indomitable will
OF Marco angers the emperor beyond
control, and physical force is used to
effect his worship at the pagan altar.
AS Docletian hurls blatant curse
upon the God Of christianity the altar
is shattered by a bolt of lightn ng
and over its wrsckage appears a
flaming cross, the sign OF the faith
so slowly and surely undermining
his imperial and imperious sway
During the past four seasons THE
Light Eternal has been one Of the
pronounced successes of the largest
cities, and it comes to local theatre
goers with the same fine cast and
magnificent scenic equipment that
has aided so materially in establish
ing it as the greatest OF all religious

Plumbers Associations, was the chez
speaker at the afternoon session OF
the Iowa Master Plumbers Associa-
ton this afternoon. Today is the sec

plumbers, and was busy one for the
convention. Tomorrow morning a
business session will be held, at
which time the city which will enter
tain the association in 1915 will be
chosen, and officers will be named
AS yet, there seems to be no avow-
ed candidate for honor Of entertain
ing the next convention. The sp rit-
ed fight between Keokuk and Burning
ton last year leads some of the dele.
gates to believe that Burlington will
be the city chosen as the convention
town next year. No aggressive cam
paign to secure the convention has
yet been unconcovered according to
the statements of the delegates.
The naming Of officers is left to
the board of directors. There are
three directors to be named this t me
and then the board will choose the
officers.
The session today was confined for
the most part to the speeches and
papers which had been prepared hy
the various members of the assccia
ton. Several communications were
read at the morning session. vii

Missouri Plumbers Meet.
The Missouri Master Plumbers yes
terday concluded their sessions at ST.
Louis. The following from the ST.
Louis Globe-D smocrat occas ioned
considerable comment and interest
among the plumbers who read the
clipping:
: Here's a red-hot plumber story.
You know what plumber is Ever
pay a plumbers bill? Course you
have. All ready! Here she goes:
The plumbers in Missouri didn't do
a very profitable business in 1918.
Business was SO bad that many of
the master plumbers went out OF
business.
The Missouri State Association OF
Master Plumbers, which closed its an
nual meeting at the American Annex
hotel yesterday, is authority for the
extraordinary information contained
in the two foregoing paragraphs.
The State Association stands pat
on it's assertion. All this talk alb sut
the plumbers getting rich over night
after heavy freeze has put all the
pipes on the bum, is wrong-all
wrong.
The plumbers m lintain that al
this stuff about high cost of plumb
ers contracts is q pure shinanigan
just commonplace CUFF for the comic
weeklies, and even the comics are
beginning to dodge the joke.
| In order to make sure that the
! coming generation of plumbers may
/ be able to shoe the wolf from tbs
door, the State Association appoint st
committee to look into overhead
charges" and to work out a plan o
special education for young Journey
/ men plumbers.
''The modern plumber is scien
tif1c," said I. c. Smith OF Kansas City
the retiring secretary, but he is no
/ a business man. He can't figure. l
/ is up to the association to educat
the young plumbers in Business mel
4 ods.'
4 Yessum, that's exactly what h
said.
The association selected Kansa
City for the next annual meeting. l
also forwarded message to the Mis-
souri, State Capitol Commission re
j questing that body to let contract
separately for the steam-ftting
4 plumbing and electric wiring in tn
new capitol building.
