has been living recently. He contract
ed a severe cold which developed into
pleurisy and pneumonia. From the
first his age told against him, but the
family did not give up hope until last
night, when the disease was found to
have affected both lungs. General
Wheeler's immediate relatives were all
with him.
The family were summoned to the
bedside of the patient at midnight last
night, when the doctors IN consultation
concluded that the end was but a mat
ter of hours. The general was then
awake and conscious, and his mind
was apparently active. He seemed to
know that death was approaching and,
though too weak to speak, he succeed
ed in giving signs Of recognition and
encoura cement to his children.
Later the general sank into a peace
fu1 slumber, and at the request of the
doctors the family quietly withdrew
from the sick mans bedside. General
Wheeler was never again more than
semi-consciOus He fingered until this
evening and passed away quietly.

HEAVY EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
New Mexico and Arizona Shaken Up
No Loss of Life or Serious
Damage Reported.

Denver, Colo. Jan. 25.-A special
from albuquerque, N. NJ. says that the
whole western country from Gallup, n,
NJ, to Selig1nan, Ariz., a distance of
several hundred miles, experienced
shocks about 80 O'Clock this afternoon.
At Gallup the motion was from west
to east. Buildings rocked and people
fed precipitateiy from their houses. At
Williams, AriZ., the shock resembled
an explosion. Goods were thrown from
the shelves of the stores and several
buildings jerked from their founda-
lions. At Flagstaff the wave moved
from south to north. Chimneys were
tumbled over and the plastering IN
several rooms of the railroad hospital
fell A number of patients fed in fear.
Moving trains in the disturbed area
were halted by the shocks, which were
plainly felt by the train crews. No
loss of life or serious damage to prop
erty has been reported thus far.

"FeIInW Americana"

Fellow Americans
These are the words with which for
per Governor Heber NJ. Wells called 10
order the morning session Of the con
ference They were greeted with ap-
plause from the 200 men assembled In
the ar1nory in the Commercial club

Like all conventions. this one was
slow in getting a start. The minute
hand on the clock was climbing toward
IL o'clock when the call to order came.
On the platform were seated, in add
ton to Chairman Wells, Governor
George Z. Chamberlain Of Oregon,
Governor John c. Cutler of Utah and
Judge 0. W. Powers, who learned
earlier in the morning in reading me
Herald that he was to represent Mayor
Ezra Thompson and welcome the VS.
itors on behalf Of Salt Lake City.
Previous to the assembling in the
arrlorv a large majority of the visitors
assembled in the Commercial club.
There were many pleasant little re-
unions. There was hustling on the
part Of Fisher Harris, the other mem
bers Of the special committee Of the
Commercial club and those who had
been at work on the plan to be submit
ted. Outside the fog was so thick thaC
it was difficult to see across the street.
A more unpropitiouS time to invite
men to see America could not be con-
ceived Inside all was enthusiasm.
Every man on the ground was enthUsi-
astic in the ''See America First" move
ment.

music usually heard in the opening

nothing could dan1pen the enthusiasm
