TO HEAD OF CHURCH OF LAT
TER DAY SAINTS.
UTAH M0uRNs HIS LOSS
Was Regarded as Broad Minded
Gentleman Who Desired the
Upbuilding OF His State.

Salt Lake, Oct. 10-Lorenzo Snow,
fifth president of the church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, better
known as the Mormon church, died
unexpectedly at his private residence
the historic Bee Hive house, at 1886
o'clock this afternoon after an illness
that had been serious only since yes
terday.
The immediate cause of his death
was hyposthatic congestion, superin-
duced by aggravated bronchitis.
Several weeks ago President Snow
contracted a cold. He was at his
desk, however, attending to business
as late as Tuesday. Yesterday morn
ing he was seized with fit of vomit-
ing which continued at intervals
throughout the day. Last night his
physicians were called and remained
in constant attendance until death
came.
The church authorities became
alarmed at his condition yesterday
and most of the leaders together with
such members of his family as could
be summoned by telegraph and other
wise remained in the sick chamber
until the end. Shows death caused a
shock to the entire community and
is deeply deplored by all classes, for
he was regarded as broad minded,
generous hearted Christian gentle
man who desired the. upbuilding of
Utah as well as the progress of ethe
Mormon church.
| President Shows death dissolves
the fifth presidency, Of which he was
the head, his two counsellors being
Joseph Smith and Rudger Clawson.
| Until his successor is chosen, which
may not be until the annual confer
ence next April, leadership of the
church will devolve upon the council
of 12 apostles of which body Joseph
Smith is the recognized head.
Unless death should come to him in
the meantime Mr.. Smith will be the
next president of the Mormon church

Tracks Gone and Wires Down.,


Omaha, Oct. 10-A severe wind and
rain storm which struck western
Iowa at o'clock this afternoon did
considerable damage to telegraph
wires, and washed out railroad tracks.
The storm was heaviest along the
line of the Burlington road from Ham
burg to Red Oak, Iowa, where the
wires are down and the tracks of that
road are washed out in several places.
None -of the afternoon trains had
reached Hamburg from the east at
1O:30 and the full extent of the storm
is not known. The only information
to be had came from the railroads
and, was very meagre. A report re-
ceived at the Burlington Office in this
city said:
Tracks between Red Oak and
Hamburg all gone and wires all
down."
