WANDERING OVER CHINA
Head of the Buddhist Faith an I'm
welcome Guest Wherever He
Makes a Stop.

Pekin, Saturday May 30.-In the spring
of 1904 Colonel Sir Francis Edward Young
husband of the British army led a Brit
ish column over the mountain passes OF
the Himalayas and fought his way into
the holy city of Lhassa. In the eyes of
all true Buddhists this was DISSERTATION.
and ever since the Dalai Lama, the head
of the Buddhist faith and ruler of Tibet
has been a wanderer over northern China
He would not stay In his city after the
feet of infidels had trodden its sacred
streets. Consequently, accompanied by
numerous retinue, he started on his wan
derings through China and Mongolia,
expensive and unwelcome guest at the
various cities where he elected to stop.
Now that the Lama is coming to Pekin,
where as a matter of fact. he will be no
more welcome than he was at Urga in
Pal Yuan Flu, in Shan 81. Political ex
pediency, however. will make ii neces-
sary for the Chinese authorities to re-
ceive him with a show or great cour-
tesy. but they will do their utmost to per-
suade him to return to Lhassa. and if
they can once get him to start for home
they will send along a numerous force
of troops to see that he reaches there
without stopping lfhduly on the way.
The Lama has taken his travels seri-
ously and has had with him retinue
yariously estimated at from five hundred
to one thousand men. This pomp Is mt
ting for the head of the Ruddhists, but
to entertain such host in the luxurious
manner they expect has been both ex-
pensive and troublesome for the Chinese.

demanded hospitality in the name of his

LOVE, LIQUOR
AND LAUDANUM
Suicide of David Wheeler, Who
Had Been Spurned by Mar
ried Woman.

Because Mrs. Dora Elmer, a married
woman, had spurned his love, David
Wheeler, a member of one of the most
prominent families in Weber county,
drank the contents of a two-ounce bottle
of laudanum at the Fashion rooming
house some time yesterday morning. His
lifeless body was discovered during the
early afternoon by the housekeeper. Ply
sicians worked over the body for more
than half an hour, but were unable 40
bring 1t back to life.
Young Wheeler was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Wheeler, respected residents
of Statewide. 1t is reported that until
recently he was frequent visitor at the
Elmer home. In the same settlement. He
became infatuated with Mrs. Elmer, who,
when she discovered what was going on,
rejected Wheeler's advances and forbade
his calling any more. This seemed
to prey upon the young mans mind. In
fact, he left a note addressed to Mrs. Ell
mel, IN which he said that ii was because
she would have nothing to do with him
that he intended taking his life.
For some time past, Wheeler, who was
50 years of age. had been drinking good
deal. A week ago he went to his parent s
home in Statewide slightly under the in
Their took him to task about his drinking.
Following this interview. Wheeler went
to work for Charles Stallings at Hunts
vile. He came to Ogden on Saturday and
was stopping at the Fashion rooming
house, where he ended his life yesterday.
The supposition is that the disappointment
in his love affairs, coupled with the use
of liquor. caused Wheeler to end his life.
In addition to the letter addressed to
Mrs. Elmer, Wheeler left note In which
he directed that his regards be given TO
Charles Stallings and James Hunter: The
drug which he drank was purchased at
local drug store The police took charge
of the suicides effects. and the body was
taken to the Larkin morgue.
