Death Is in the air and seems TO be
stalking abroad in an embodied fo~r,
Are we nation Of assassns," asked
man today who had Just read the
news. Us II possible that the life Of
a good and great president Of the Unit
ed states is not safe in the hands of
his fellow-citIzeus, or have we been
importing anarchists over here for the
last hundred years for the purpose Of
shooting down our presldents?"
such outbreaks Of sarcastic
indignation were heard on every
land and is only a part OF a mighty
wave that is sweeping over the coun-

matter Of marvel If he is hurled before
The great judgment bar TO answer for
mis- crime before he has time to be ar

The feeling is so profound among all
the citizens that business was praC-
ilcally paralyzed for some time this
afternoon. The merchants left their
stores the professional men their Of

shopping forgot what they We're after
and all stood around waiting for fur

SALT LAKE SHOCKED

When the first bulletin was posted
In the windows OF the newspaper Of
fees. men stopped and fairly gasped for
breath Almost in a trice large crowds
were collected in front of the News"
Herald and Tribune. Men women and
children stood and gazed with anxiety
pain and fierce indignation written on
their faces. Within short time the
city was stirred TO its depths and the
awful tidings became the theme in
every mans mouth. While every one
seemed TO feel the blow as a personal
calamity, but there were many who
enjoyed the personal a"qua'p'ance Of the
president who shed teays without any
effort to festras or hide .dein Bpt
a Few months since Salt Lake prepared
TO greet the president and show him
how her citizens honored him, but the
disappointment over his lot being able
to come was mitigated by the hope that
he would come at some future time
But now that his coming seems to be
put Off forever, and he is stricken unto
death by the hands Of an assassin,

Salt Lake puts on a double mourning
and sends her prayers to the Most
High that the life OF the president win
be spared 10 the nation. This
is the third time that
the people Of the United States have
been thrown into q panic almost by
the terrible news that their President
had been shot down and could not live.
The grief that is manifest over the Bit
ter word that was sent throughout the
nation this afternoon seems as great
as that over Lincoln and Garfield, and
II emanates from the north, east. south
and west.
Many ugly expressions were heard
in the crowd directed against the I'M
known monster who fired on the Presi-
dent, and II such sentiment prevails
throughout the country It will fare III
with the assassin That a man could
shake hands with the President look
him in the face and then shoot him
down, is almost beyond belief. It is
taken for granted that the murderer
was caught and will be sure to atone
for his monstrous crime with his life,
but that doesn't restore the President
or efface the stain that is fixed upon the
nation.
When the News appeared on the
streets this afternoon the latter were
so crowded that 1t looked like a celebra-
tion except there was a silent dlrge In
the air instead OF cheers Men left
their Offices and places Of employment
and went out on the streets In quest OF
a scrap Of news about the national
tragedy and they clutched at every
bit OF information as II II was matter
of their own life or death. The party
color or sex line was not drawn In the
outburst Of sympathy and indignation.
Men OF every political and religious
creed and OF no creed at all evinced
profound ise'ings over the affair and
they were one in their fierce denuncIa-
tion of the assassin, Men were seen on
the streets with grieved looks on their
faces who took prominent parts in OPP
posing President Mckinley in the last
While the President is not dead and
his exact condition is not
known, the word has been given
out that he cannot live
and the awful gloom tina, seems des-
tined TO fall upon the nation has al

EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW.

The whole city is in gloom and its
citizens partake Of the sorrow. This Is
what some Of them said at late hour
this afternoon:
President Lorenzo Snow-I think II
is the most serious and lamentable
thing that has occurred since the mas
sacre OF Abraham Lincoln. II Is aw-
full and especially SO considering the
present state Of affairs in this and
other countries.
Gov. Wels.-I feel as one stunned and
can give expression TO nothing that
Adequately conveys the sorrow In my
heart-sorrow TO think the president Is
stricken, sorrow that our republic has
not outgrown these dreadful assassina-
lions which are the outgrowth of con-
ditions to be found in monarchies where
rulers are hated. not In our own fair
republic where rulers like Mckinley
are loved by all II must have been
crank who did it--no sane American
could have anything against Mckinley.
