THE MORNING NEWS SUNDAY, JULY 1. 1900

Mr.. Hearst is TO begin the publication
of a newspaper in Chicago this week.
1t is to be modelled upon the plan of the
New York Journal, which is equivalent
to saying it will be ultra-sensational.
What the effect will be upon the press
of the city, whether the established news
papers will go on the even tenor of their
way or whether they will become demon
allied and try 10 follow the style and
pace set by the new journal, is ques-
ton which is giving some concern to
thoughtful Chicago people both in and
out of the newspaper business. "A pres
ent the big newspapers of Chicago are
very excellent representatives of a high
class Of daily journalism. Sometimes they
run a little 10 headlines the size and
blackness of which are not warranted by
the matter under them; but the news is
all clean and wholesome. and two or
three of the papers are excellently well
written for high-pressure work. 1t would,
indeed be a great pity for the Chicago
press 20 become affected with the wild,
eyed insanity which has characterized
considerable portion Of the New York
press for the past few years.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. Ga Jour
nal special from Salina, Kan, says:
Union Pacific east-bound passenger
train No. 4, which left Denver Satur-
day night, was held up by two men
several miles west of Hugo Col, 90
miles this side of Denver. The passen-
gers in the Pullman sleepers were
robbed of their money and valuables,
obtaining about 800 in cash, gold
watches and jewelry. An old man,
named Fay, a resident of California,
who had been visiting in Denver and
was on his way to st. Louis, refused
to surrender his valuables and fired a
shot at one of the robbers, but missed.
Thereupon the robbers fired, one shot
entering Fay's mouth and coming out
at the back of his head, killing him al
most instantly. The robbers stopped
the train, jumped off and escaped.

New York. Aug. Ar. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: TT is often
hard to read encouraging symptoms of

TO look for them. Some raw materials and

advance set in; but, there is confidence
among buyers that the downward swing
is nearly over, while sellers are adopting
cautious policy. which until recently
