Business Matters with His Son Only q
Few Minutes Before His Death-His
Notable Career.

Governor Tanner is dead!" was the
news that flashed over Springfield, Ill.,,
a few minutes before o'clock Thurs
day afternoon, causing sorrow to thou
sands of the former executives friends
and admirers. The former Governor
expired at 2:45 o'clock, and while i'll
ness had confined him to his room in
the Leland Hotel since Sunday, his sud
den death was entirely unexpected, and
came without warning to the members
of his family and friends. Thursday
morning the patient was feeling much
better than he had for several days,
although at no time had his illness
been considered serious. During the
morning he had remained in bed, but
chatted and talked to those who were
present in the sick chamber. Mrs.
Tanner was with him throughout the
day. Mrs. Colburt Fields Buck, a sister
Of Mrs. Tanner, went to the hotel
Thursday morning and spent several
hours. Mrs. Buck left the room at
noon and went home for lunch, and
when she returned at about 1 o'clock
Mrs. Tanner released her maid, Miss
Louise Kest, and told her she might
go home for the afternoon. After the
maid went away Mrs. Tanner helped
the patient to the bathroom, and when
he came back he was greatly fatigued
and at once returned to his bed. Soon
afterward Colonel J. Mack Tanner, his
son, came to the room. Business mat
ters were discussed by father and son
for few minutes and the former eX-
ecutive told his son that he was bet
ter and expected to be out and around
again in a few days. Before leaving
Colonel Tanner wrote two message

of them. Colonel Tanner left for his
Office at the capitol building at ?
O'clock, and shortly after that Mr..
Tanner talked to friends in Chicago
over the long distance telephone in his
room.
Mrs. Buck says that he then seemed
to be drowsy and wanted to sleep. He
soon fell into a slumber. His sleep
was uneasy, and several times he
groaned. When his breathing became
labored and hard Mrs. Tanner went to
his side and made an effort to arouse

lance to astronomers. There was much
