DEATH OF MRS.
IRA THOMAS
Wife of Wei Known Lawyer Safely
Home After Short Illness
of Fever.

Death is always sad however al
leviating the circumstances may be.
and in the sudden death of Mrs. Ira
Thomas. wife of the well known at
torney, at her residence here at ten
O'Clock on Saturday night, it seems
to have been doubly so, as one men,
Der of the family was absent at the
time, daughter. who is in far away
Nebraska. But however sad death
is, remaining relatives may be COM
forted by knowing that death can
not enter that sphere to which the
departed are removed upon paying
the tribute of nature, and hope can
mingle with their natural sorrow
by being guided to thinking of that
future where the sundered ties of
earth are reunited. Mrs. Thomas
died of malarial fever. She was for
ty seven years old.
She was born in Jackson county,
Iowa. in 1864 and there married Mr..
Thomas. The couple came here TO
live .in 1904 after residing in Neb-
raska for twenty-three years.
Besides her husband there is left
to mourn her loss Walter r. Thomas

a daughter. Mrs. Lulu Meyers. who
lives in Oakland, Nebraska.

ternoon at the home al 2:30 O'Clock.

VISITED HIS
FOREIGN HOME
Renewed Friendship of Home Folks
at Il Real Old Danish
L,s,,


Carl Christensen, who lately re-
turned from visit to the scenes of
his childhood in Denmark brings
back with him interesting anecdotes
of his call on the old home folks.
The day he reached the village was
ing of county fair, and he took up
position at the gate on the follow
ing day to see if any of the incoming
people would recognize him. For a
while none did so. The country peo-
pie passed through the gate leading
their various animals and commodi-
ties until finally an elderly man came
along driving SOW. He looked
sharply al the stranger and Carl in
turn looked at him. 1t was one Of
the village characters and they rec
ognized each other in twinkling
Who DO You suppose that is over
there with the horses" the man in
quired You have slept with him
and quarreled with him in the early
days he said Carl looked at the
stalwart bearded man at the side of
a noble stallion. but could not place
him. That is your brother George
he continued. When Carl heard this
he was delighted Approaching him
he held out his hand and said, Hell
10 George. Why do believe it is
little Carl said the other Then
they retired to talk over old times
h; a
ish refreshments We're served.
In his strolls around the village he
found many changes. He visited the
spot where his parents had been
buried. who had died without seeing
the face of the son who had set his
face towards the new world to make
his fortune, and also met many of
the people who knew him when he
was quite young man.
Conditions in Denmark he found
to be much changed. The country
has been vastly. improved he says.
Along the borders OF the North Sea
where the cruel waters and wind of
the big treacherous body of water
formerly washed and blew sand
across the land. there has been rows
of trees planted by the King which
protects the inland country and
makes it suitable for raising fine
crops In Copenhagen he found ev-
erything prosperous and business
good. Prices for the native pro-
duets he says. are excellent. Horses
and cows bring better prices com
paratively than in America and prof
its from dairying and farming are
greater owing to the economical hab-
its OF the Danes, who know how to
get the most worth out of their cows
and their farms.
Mr. Christensen brought back
many interesting pictures with him
showing his old home in Denmark,
and other places of interest. While
in New York he met former princi-
pal of schools Pritchard and had an
interesting talk with him
He says that sometime in the fu-
ture he will pay another visit to the
old nome and will take Mrs. Christ
ensen with him.

FIGHTING
FOR A LIFE
Writ of Habeas Corpus
for Condemned
Murderer.

Yet another attempt is being made
to save the neck of Morita Keizo, con-
denned for murder. This time it Is
to snatch him from under the very
shadow of the gallows, for his doom
was fixed for next Tuesday. Twice the
/ Supreme Court had decided that his
conviction was legal, and on the sth
of this month Governor Carter signed
his death warrant. This commanded
High Sheriff Henry to execute the last
penalty of the law on Morita Keizo
on January %.
Yesterday the condemned man
| through his attorney, A. S. Humphreys,
obtained writ of habeas corpus from
United States Judge Dole, returna BILE
at 10 o'clock this morning, commanding
the High Sheriff to bring into court
the body of Morita Keizo, so that in
quiry might be made into the legality
of his conviction and sentence to DEATH
The ground of the petition is the
allegation that Keizo was illegally in
dicted in that eight out of the sixteen
grand jurors who found the true bill
against him were not American citi-
zens, having been naturalized by the
Territorial circuit courts contrary, as
is claimed, to the naturalization laws
of the United States.
Morita Keizo was indicted at the
August, 1905, term of the Fourth Cir
cult Court and, having been convicted,
was sentenced on March o. 1906. An
appeal to the Supreme Court, which
brought up me naturalization question,
only resulted in the affirmation of con-
viction
At that stage Carl S. Smith, attor-
ney for Keizo at the trial, dropped the
case. 1t was taken UP by Geo. d.
Gear, who filed petition for a re-
hearing in which authorities were
quoted at great length against the
legality of the naturalizations The
rehearing was summarily denied by
the Supreme Court.
Judge Gear intended bringing the
matter into the Federal court under
habeas corpus proceedings. and in fact
had all the papers in readiness when |
Judge Humphreys anticipated him.
If Judge Dole refuses to discharge |
the prisoner under the writ and an ap- |
peal is taken to the United States Su- |
preme Court, there may be a consider |
able lease of life left to Keizo. The |
issue involves also the citizenship Of |
more than a thousand who have ex-
ercised it both as jurors and voters In

propria tions in the estimates of the
Board for the next biennial period. AS
the outcome the Board will hold spe-
cial meeting to consider the matters OF
government physicians and the in
digent sick.
/ DR.. Wayson first suggested discus
sion of hospital expenditures.
1 President Pinkham said it should be
private. He had not recommended
any aid for plantation hospitals.
Nothing was asked even for Lihue hos
pital, as it was in that category.
/ DR.. Wayson said there were no doubt
many INDECENT sick that were not taken
care of. Whether they had contagious
diseases or not something should be
done for them
| The president said no more matter
could be got into his report. 1t must
go into the printers hands this week
or it would not reach the Legislature
at all. They had better make a spe-
cial report on the INDECENT sick. 1t
would receive more attention.
Mr.. Smith thought they should have

sick should not have attention, no mat
