Change in Sterling Papers.

The Sterling Daily News, populist
paper started about eight months
since, has been discontinued and the
plant has been sold to c. j. Price,
publisher of the Democrat. Mr.. Price
discontinued the publication of his
daily edition Immediately after the
election and he will now devote his
entire attention to the weekly edition.
Under present conditions there are
but three newspapers published in
Sterling-the Weekly Democrat and
the Weekly and Daily Advocate.
This is one too many. Sterling has no
more room for a daily newspaper than
Julesburg. In town of that size it is
impossible to get out daily paper of
any merit, and it would seem that it
were better to publish tirst-class
weekly newspaper than to publish a
weekly and a daily and slight both.

Comment OF the National and
State Press upon Various
Subjects.

Gratis in this state believe that they
have out grown their swaddling clothes
and henccforth will stand alone. As
they estimate that they have a majori-
ty in the legislature, we must not eX-
pect to hear so much of Senator Tel
ler's honorable fusion as of David
Bennett Hills 81 am a democrat" If
the line is drawn with the change of
administration, the persons who hold
jobs in the democratic anneXes will
cut sorry figure with no pie to dis
tribute and no seat in the council
chamber of democracy. They will
have nothing to console them but
Teller's cold tears. Even Tom Pat
terson will have a chilly time of it un-
less he can be a democrat and remain
one long enough for the two houses to
vote severally and then jointly upon
senator.-Greeley Sun.
In looking over the report of par
dons, ! find that half the men who are
releas I'd have at some time saved the
wardcn's life or have some heroic
deed to their credit. 1t strikes me
that whole lot of this is for the
effect it will have in silencing crit-
cism. There is not a man in the
s.world who would want to be warden
of the penitentiary If all these reports
are true. He would have a narrow
escape from death every night in the
year and would fairly walk in the at
mosphere of the other world by day.

more punishment would help condi-

The Sterling News is trying to per-
suade the Prohibitionists of Logan
county, that they may become factor
in politics as the balance Of power.
Now if the News will convince these
people that there is any choice be-
tween candidates on other than the
prohibition ticket. the prohibition
party may become the principal factor
in all elections and force the nolnina-
tion of the best men on all tickets, but
so long as they stick to their ticket in
stead of taking an active part in poll
tics. so long will their organization be
without political influence, and with
out the power of accomplishing any
temperance legislation Lead

Several men of more or less promi
nence are on the anxious seat regard
ing the choice Of the legislature for
United States senator. They are all
eager to make any sacrifice for the
good of Colorado. They are great men
with lofty impulses toward martyrdom
and it is really "A pity that they can
not all go. Who can brook the
thought of Thomas being left at home,
of Patterson weeping because he can
not shed his blood and wisdom for the
glory of fusiOn-cursed Colorado? 1t is
too bad. Colorado ought to have more
senatorships to band out to the bril-
liant horde who pine to suffer for her

Whatever may be said Of the scien-

Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather. it is remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
his now famous almanac for MANY
years The latest startling proof Of
this fact was the destruction OF Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 almanac, as
one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 almanac, by far
the finest, most complete, and beauti-

There seems to be a feeling among
cattlemen all over the country that
prices will soon be back where they
were last winter. There is nothing
particular to base this opinion upon,
but prices are gradually crawling back
to the old level and the demand is put
ting it there. The scarcity of really
good cattle is one of the features of
the western markets, and this has had
as much to do with the general feeling
as anything else.-The Denver Stock

The report stated that it was Mr.. Grosve-
nor who had embraced Mr.. Sulzer. Mr..
Grosvenor caused much merriment by re-
pudiating the alleged incident. Mr..
Terry Of Arkansas added to the fun by
remarking that It was question as to
whose privilege 1t was TO deny the incl
dent.
A bill was passed TO amend the car
coupler law as to require railroads to re-
port monthly under oath to the interstate
commerce commission all Accidents to
their employees and to make reports as to
all collisions between trains; also bill
10 authorize the payment of travel pay to
enlisted men In the army.
Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, attempted
to bait Mr.. Lentz with resolution to
give condemned cannon to the Sons OF
Veterans, but Mr. Lentz, with the re-
mark that the Sons of Veterans would
like to read the story Of how their fathers
were confined In the 'bull PEN at Ward
ner, Idaho, said he would not object and
the resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Lentz then again brought matters
to n standstill. Some Of the Republicans
attempted TO circumvent him by getting
their friends ON the Democratic side to
offer their bills. Mr.. Hay Of Virginia
asked for the consideration of bill to
make Des Moines, Iowa, a sub b-port OF en-
try and as a result got into a warm tilt
with Mr.. Lentz who promptly interposed
an objection. Mr.. Hay displayed con-
siderable temper and was proceeding to
criticize Mr.. Lentz's course In persisting
In his attitude when the latter objected
to his statement.
II Will not receive lecture from the
gentleman from Virginia, he announced
until the Republicans agree to the print
ing of the Coeur D'Alene testimony I
shall object to all this class Of legisla-
tion -
A few minutes afterwards Mr.. Cannon
on behalf of the conferees OF the naval ap-
preparation formally reported another
disagreement. The naval conferees who
We're superseded last night after a bitter

WIPED OUT CLEAN.
Entire Business ssetioa OF virgini a,
Minn., Destroyed.

Duluth, Mimi, June THE entire
business and most of the residence section
Of the town Of Virginia on the Mesaab
Iron Range, was wiped out Of existence
today by fire. In one hours time, fully
1876 buildings were reduced to ashes. Tele-
graphic communication was cut of soon
after the first news OF the fire came and
was not resumed until this evening. The
flames broke out at the Moon and Kerr
mill on the shore of Silver lake, south
west of the town, The plant comprised q
number of large buildings beside the mill
and 1t was among these that the fire
started. The main business section OF the
city was about five blocks from the mill
and over this intervening territory the
flames spread, carried directly to the busi-
ness buildings by high wind. Within
one hour the fire destroyed everything be-
tween the mill and the railroad station,
eight blocks away. The territory over
which the fire travelled covered about
twelve blocks, about nine OF which were
business house, hotel or store standing in
Virginia. The residence portion Of the
town was only partially burned. The
school house and most Of the churches
We're untouched The loss is estimated at
$500, COZ. The Moon g. Kerr saw mill was
burned but the stock OF cut lumber Is
thought to have been saved. The water
plant of the city was directly in the path
Of the flames. The people are in urgent
need of relief. There is little food left In
the town and women and children are
without places to sleep.
The only public buildings standing are
the two school houses and the Duluth and
Iron Range depot. The ID. Nj. and n.
depot burned. Moon 81 Kerr were the
heaviest losers and carried nearly all in

GEN. Neih Claims to Have Killed
500 Boxers.

London, June s.-The situation in
China as measured by abundant unoffic-
ial kilograms, continues full Of interest
ing possibilities, but apparently 1t had
not grown worse during the last "a
hours, although the favorite adjectives Of
London and continental commentators
are "perilous, grave" and danger
ous."
The naval commanders In Chinese wat
ers have received identical instructions
as to procedure, the question OF an emer-
gency being left to their discretion. No
fear is entertained for the safety Of the
legations at Pekin.
European residents, however, are es-
Gaping from the capital TO the coast.
Pekin is still under control, according 70
despatch to the Morning Post dated
yesterday, but in very excited state.
A thousand foreign guards are garrison
ing the legation houses. Six hundred
international troops are at Tien Tsin
with six guns. A despatch to the Daily
Mail from Shanghai, dated June Z, takes
gloomy view of things, which are pict-
ured as going from bad to worse. The
correspondent says:
"The authorities are displaying pal
pably guilty supineness in dealing with
the Boxers; and the powers are more
and more taking matters into their own
hands. The Boxer revolt is spreading
and is rapidly changing its character.
The Boxers are getting arms, preparing
to meet force with force.
'There has been no communication
between Pekin and Tien Tsin since Tues
day, although one miserable half heart
ed attempted has been made by Chinese
soldiery to reach the.capital. The troops
were fired upon and the train had to
come back. Another station has been
burned on the line."
A news agency despatch from Tien
Tsin dated yesterday says:
1.-The Boxers are still raiding and pill
laying over wide area. They have
wrecked and burned the stations at Long
Fong and Lagoo. 1t has been definitely
ascertained that Nine. Astier and Messrs.
Ossent and Cades have been murdered.
Gen. Mich claims to have defeated the
Boxers, killing 500."

EXCUSES BOXERS.
An Extremely Unsatisfaetory Imperial
Decree.

London, June S.-The Pekin corre-
spondent of the Times telegraphing yes
terday says:
"An imperial decree has been issued,
but it Is OF the same evasiye character as
the preceding one. Throughout it is
apologetio in tone and virtually gives
justification TO the Boxes for their re-
cent foreign and anti Christian out
breaks. The edict repeats the accusation
against native Christians who Joined
the church for their own base ends, and
refers to the Boxers as brotherhood,
and not as rebels.
ut avoids all reference TO the murder
of missionaries, and Of native Christians,
and implies that the destruction of the
railway and mission property is due to
lawless characters who have Joined the
Boxers to profit by the disturbances. 1t
blames the officials, orders that the law
less shall be punished condemns the Chi
Ii soldiers for assisting the disturbances.
Nevertheless its character on the whole
is quite unsatisfactory.
'nrhe Tsung Lii Yamen undertake
that railway communication shall be re-
tored by Saturday. They have protested
against the arrival of more British
guards"

"Yes," observed President Kruger, .'it
is only now that the real struggle has be-
gun. fear that there viii be still much
blood shed; but the fault Is that OF the
Brltish government"
Then raising TO his voice to an almost
passionate height Mr.. Kruger exclaimed;
1.-THE time has passed for us 10 talk.
We have done plenty OF that, but IL has
done us no good. There Is nothing left
for us 10 do but 10 kesp on fighting, to
keep on fighting"

terview teiegraphed it direct from Mach

were working as usual, to Lourenco Mar

Beers heavy loss, ths British casualties
being slight. Boer officials removed BOO, :
600 pounds in gold from the National
bank, June 4, but did not touch the cash
holdings of the other banks. Some OF the
Beers are surrendering voluntarily; and
the townspeople Of Pretoria are described
as showing considerable enthusiasm over
the British arrival. Mr.. Provost Batters-
by in o despatch to the Morning Post
from Pretoria dated June 8, says:
1.-The Beers pledged themselves to
twenty British officers not to take the
British prisoners away il these officers
would control them and prevent an out
break. Nevertheless they began their re-
moval. After nine hundred had been
taken British shells struck train that
was loading and the Beers desisted and
retired. The British officers at Daspoort
refused to leave their quarters and made
the Boer commandant prisoner, releas-
ing him at midnight on the condition
that he would cancel the order for the re-
moval of the prisoners. The Pretoria
forts were found without guns All the
artillery had been gotten away"
Another despatch says:
Sixteen hundred British prisoners
were removed. After the government had
taken away most of the stores, the
Burghers were given free hand to help
themselves. All the British found was a
few hundred bags OF coffee and sugar.

Altogether about 900 have been landed
IRON the fleet, greater number than
have landed from the combined vessel OF
other powers. This evidence OF Great
Britain's intention to assert her position
strongly gives great satisfaction here"
POWERS DON'T AGREE.
Berlin, June THE foreign Office re-
CARDS the situation in China as no worse
than 1t was last evening. No official re-
ports indicating an unfavorable change
have been received. The papers this eve
ming, however, take different view OF
the matter. The Vossische Zeiting says:
Evidences are lacking Of harmony
among tnt 1ONtFs luteFtctch III NtniiAo =
and the probability is that, II the Boxer
movement is allowed TO spread and the
dangers growing out of 1t become more
serious, this result will be owing to the
want of harmony"
The National Zeitung which expresses
its views in similar terms says 1t hopes
that until the pre- sent troubles are over,
Russia, Great Britain and Japan will
bury their differences.
HELENA HASN'T SAILED.
Washington, June THE Helena has
not yet sailed from Manila to reinforce
Admiral Kempff's force at Taku, and 1t
Is surmised that at the moment the order
was received from the navy department
the vessel was either absent from Ma
Mia or was not available for immediate
service. The navy department was In
communication today with Admiral
Remey, presumably with reference to the
speedy movement of the Helena or some
other ship to Taku.
GERMANY WILL ACT.
Berlin, June TIT is understood that
Germany has officially dechreo-her readi-
ness to act In concord with the other
powers, but having no interests outside
Of Shantung province, she is not disposed
to take the Leading part in Intervention
in China. The German newspapers claim
to have discovered that the alleged secret
agreement arrived at between Russia
and Japan to act together against Great
Britain in the Far East is purely flctit-
