grounds, coming across the forms OF
their fellow guests at every few steps.
Some still remained inert, some were
sitting up in a dazed way, while others
were already upon their feet directing
their way to the will-o'the-wisp lantern
light which fitted about the lawn. Ia
the course Of the next few minutes
they had also found a dozen Of the
lanterns which had not been torn TO
pieces or blown from their fastenings
upon the trees, and these they lighted
and distributed TO the ever increasing
searching party. 1t had been case
Of suffocation into insensibility In a
partial vacuum which had followed
the departure of the great weight, a
condition which had only prevailed fol
a very few minutes, and with the re-

victims had quickly recovered with
the exception of Mrs. Emmonds She
had been in a faint and breathing but
feebly when the crucial moment ar
rived, and Doctor Raymond, who Was
among them now, pronounced her
dead. Silently they bore her within
the house, found the telephone to be
unresponsive to their appeals, and
leaving two of the women beside her
they returned to the lawn. They
were still partially dazed and wholly
awe stricken and moved about half
automatically as though just recov'
ering from an anaesthetic.
The electric lights which for some
reason had gone out in the early
stages of the disturbances were now
burning as brightly as ever again, and
from all sides came the sounds of

What you have said is undoubtedly
true, yet at the same time there may
be serious riots as the result OF a
happening like this. Gangs of vandals
are apt to form after great panics

taking advantage of conditions commit
all sorts OF depredations-as for in

you had best be prepared for more
commissions, perhaps terrific earth
quakes that may topple over the very
mountains, perhaps violent electrical

unheard of velocity-no man can do
more than guess, for no man in the
worlds history ever went through a
thing like this. Also it is possible
that the approaching body may strike
us almost without further physical
warning, and that we will have but a
few seconds of actual atmospheric or
ground disturbances before we are
buried beneath a mountain OF organic
matter"
And what will happen to the earth
itself?"
Again none can tell. The impact
may crush its crust and release vast
floods of molten matter. Or the crust
may remain intact and the smaller
and less dense body-if such be the
case-be smashed to powder upon our
surface. 1t even may knock the world
from it's course, itself to become a lost
projectile whirling through space and

Has Changed.
Colonel Roosevelt will be candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
president in 1915. with an excellent
chance OF being successful.
THIS Is the opinion eXprs-lad by
United States Senator George Suther-
land, who is in Salt Lake City from
Washington during the lull between
the passage of the tariff bill and the
debate on the currency bill.
1t comes with peculiar force from
Senator Sutherland because of the TACT
that the senator is one Of the leaders
of the conservative Republican foicas
In the senate. Senator Sutherland was
opposed 10 the nomination OF Rooss-
welt at the Chicago convention and
vigorously opposed his election last
fall. Senator Sutherland did not go
as far as to say that he would support
Roosevelt's nomination, but he did say
that he believed Roosevelt would be
nominated.
These are the indications which
Senator Sutherland declares point TO
the successful candidacy OF Colonel
Roosevelt for the Republican nomina-
tion:
