Thinks Smiths Body Lies in Sewer.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 26.-lnterest
in the mysterious disappearance Of w
e. Smith, the freshman student Of
Kentucky Stale University, who sud
denly vanished one night last Sep
TENDER, after indicating TO his broth
er and roommate that he was going
to students meeting at the Univer-
versity to have some fun, was re-
vived tonight by stirling state
ment made by a member of the grand
jury who Investigated the case several
months after the disappearance.
This grand juror, who declines to
allow his name TO be used for OBJ
vious reasons, but VINO response
BILE for his statement, boldly declares
that in his opinion Smiths body is
now lying in the deep sewer ditch,
which was then open in the univer-
sity grounds, and reveals the
startling fact that the grand
jury was so impressed with
this view that they would have had
the ditch re-opened and searched If
theJudge had not informed them there
was no funds available for this pur-
pose. Said this grand juror in dis
cussing the disappearance Of Smith
tpHnight:
"In my own mind l am satisfied
that Willis E. Smith never left Lex
ington, but was killed, and be-
lieve that his body is under eighteen
feet of dirt which covers the trunk
sewer in the southern part of the
CITY"

ELLIS THOMAS DEAD.
One Of Hartford's Most Esteem
ed Citizens Passes Away
From Operation.

Mr.. David Ellis Thomas died at
Rochester. MINI, at O'Clock in the
morning, last Thursday, December "a.
His death occurred at the Mayo Bros.
ard Graham Sanitarium, where he
had gone a few days beforel to- be
operated on for a serious complication
of liver trouble, from which he had
been suffering for more than year.
Mr.. Thomas lacked a few days OF
being 55 years old at the time of his
death. lie leaves a wife ana four chill
dren, also two brothers with whom he
was in business in Hartford-iMessrs.
John G. and e. p. Thomas.
Although it was known that Mr..
Thomas was In delicate health and had
been for a long time and that the
contemplated operation was one of the
gravest nature, yet it was a universal
shock to the people of Hartford to
hear that he was dead. Nobody who
ever lived in Hartford was better be-
loved than Ellis Thomas. Everybody
loved and esteemed him. He was ev-
erybody's friend and everybody was
his friend. Tender and affectionate
as a woman, yet brave as lion and
giant in moral purposes and strength
he fought life's battle bravely, smil-
ingly, uncomplainingly He was adj
mirably true ct every trust imposed
upon him OF which ne took upon him
self. He has gone across the border
line" yet We can hardly feel that he
is dead. Back frcm the mystic shore
it seems that we can hear his voice a
of old. But though sleep has followed
waking and life eternal has given
place to the state we call deathJ yet
the remembrance of his words, his
ways and his works will be long kept
close in loving memory by these with
whom his life's work was done.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God" Truly, the gen.
tie spirit VI hLilS 10 OhyOyAh6 NHAS
blessing.
Quite a number of members of the
Macdabee and Masonic lodges went to
Beaver Dam Saturday to meet the
remains of their deceased brothet.
The funeral of Mr.. Thomas was held
at the Methodist church, Of which
he had long been a faithful member,
last Sunday forenoon. and it was
perhaps the largest attended Of any
in recent years. Hardly more than
half the crowd could get into the
church. This of itself was in elo-
quent testimonial to his popularity
and worth. The sermon was preached
by his pastor, Rev. Virgil Elgin, In
a beautiful and impressive strain, af-
ter which the body was taken in
charge by the Masonic order and con-
veyed to lakewood. The floral de-
signs were elegant and expensive.

river that marks the unknown shoreI
This time the hand has fallen upon
one who Geld enc Of our most i'm
por'ant offices, and the position,
which he filled so acceptably to the
membership, is vacant. His earthly
record is closed. No more will he en-
ter our portals, nor shall we hear his
CHEEKY voice in our councils. He was
cut down in the prime of his useful
ness, when his work seemingly was
unfinished, and his brethren mourn.
His steadfast devotion TO every Ma
sonic principle, and his readiness to
undertake any duty assigned him, are
matters Of common knowledge to- ev-
cry member of Hartford Lodge This
great loss is keenly felt by all, and
is net confined to the orders in
which he belonged, but in every walk
of life. Our finite minds cannot under
SAND such visitations of Provi-
dence, but it is Gods way, and may
He enable us to say,"His will, not
ours, be done"
Resolved, That in the death Of
Brother Thomas, our lodge has sus-
tanned an irreparable loss, both as am
official and a member, his church a
FAITHFUL Christian, worker and his
county an honorable, upright citi-
zen. whose humble, blameless life was
an example for good to all WILD came
in contact with him.
Resolved, That cur tenderest sym
pathy be extended to his family and
loved ones in this sad hour Of afflic-
tion, and that we point them to Him,
who doeth all things we'll, for comfort

to be husband to the widow and a
frther to the fatherless.
Resolved, That the members of thi
lodge wear the usual badge of mcalrn-
ing for thdrty dnys. that the Secre-
tary's station be draped in mourning,
that we attend the funeral of Brother
Thomas in body and accord him
the honors of a Masonic burial, and
that each Masonic lodge i'm Ohdo coun-
ty be invited to attend.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
given a page in our lodge records a

ceased brother, and copy furnished
to each OF our county papers, and to
