The funeral services were at the Baptist church Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev H. W. Clark assisted by Rev Lipscomb. The choir under the leadership of Mrs. W. B.

Jones, Miss Mabel Hall of Moline, Ill., and John L. Thompson. A beautiful and unique typewritten invitation inviting twelve master masons to a 7 o'clock breakfast Thursday morning was the finest and most elaborate party during the G. L. session. The fortunate twelve were W. H. Milligan of Cedar Rapids, H. K. Hillon and W. P. Wade of Omaha, Nebr., J. H. Shepard and John L. Thompson of Des Moines, T. H. Sturgis of Sioux City, I. L. Brown and Geo. Suter of Marshalltown, W. H. London of Buxton and John W., French and A. A. Bland of Keokuk. The breakfast was served in courses, the two little grand daughters Ruth and Eva serving. It was a unique and historical breakfast; three generations being represented, age 6 to 88 years. A photograph was taken of this party on the porch. Keokuk has more good looking young girls then any other town of its size in the state. This meeting will be noted for its stormy session and fireworks display. More Masonic law and history was produced then ever heard at any previous session. Alonzo Drain's ice cream parlor was a very popular place. Orange Fields was at his best when telling his early Masonic experience and smoking a good cigar. Union Star hall was very beautifully arranged for the craft. Some of the best colored men in Iowa were in Keokuk last week. John W. Bland, the Master of Union lodge and a successful blacksmith, deserves much credit for the way he cared for the grand lodge while here. The white citizens of Keokuk complimented the colored mason on having such a fine body of intelligent men at the grand lodge. 5 & 10c Store--510 Monday 2 pair Lace Curtain 1000 pieces all silk up to 50c per yard, yard Monday.
