days session Of the grand lodge of Elks
elected Jerome B. Fisher of Jamestown.
N. Y. grand exalted ruler. amidst great
enthusiasm John Fort of Camden

ton unanimous in an eloquent eulogy Of
the successful candidate.

Elks home has held several meetings
without coming to conclusion, but the
gentlemen upon the ground from Color
ado Springs are very hopeful Of success.
They have succeeded in heading of the
plan which had been almost completed

until the close Of the session. There
are about 1000 Elks in the city, which

favorable railway rates, and all seem to
be having the time Of their lives.

Japan Is Pulled Up.

Yokohama. June 2O.-Nothinz is talk
ed of here but the crisis in China. II
is now generally recognized by press and
people that this empire, by reason OF its
geographical position, has the whip hand
in this extraordinary crisis, and that an
opportunity is now afforded it to put the
entire world under deep and lasting
obligation.
Japan has an army Of half million
trained and disciplined men, as
. military machine rivaling in efficiency
the army Of Germany. OF late Russis
has been looming up a. formidable
rival in the Orient, and the Russian bug
bear has proved heretofore a potently
repressive influence alike on the govern
ment, the press and the people general
ly. All that has now vanished in the
new national consciousness that japan
has risen into supreme importance in
the eyes Of the world, and that she ID
virtually the mistress Of the situation
1t is recognized that Russia must in
svitably take back seat and further
more that in whatever settlement ID
made in the new apportionment. the
great northern power will be forced k
unite with tho rest in according such
justice to Japan as will wipe out the
deadly affront given in wrenching from
her the fruits OF her former victories.

Emperor's MESSAGE.

London, July 1.-THE Shanghai cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail, telegraph
ing yesterday (Tuesday,) says:
"a message has arrived here from EN-
peror Kwang Hsu, dated July, 2, by
courier from Peking, to the viceroy OF
Nankin, who forwarded it here. 1t ia
addressed to the Russian, English and
Japanese governments. 1t deplores the
recent occurrences and solemnly affirms
that the foreign governments are mis-
taken in supposing that the Chinese
government is protecting the boxers
against the Christians. The emperor
futher implores their aid in suppressing
the rebellion and upholding the existing
government.
"Iu q separate dispatch to the Japan
csc government, Kwang Hsu expresses
deep regret for the murder of Legation
Chancellor Sugyima.
These dispatches are taken to indi-
cate that the emperor is in seclusion and
is ignorant of the seriousness Of recent

War Upon Weeds.

Denver is making determined effort
to rid itself of weeds. These obnoxious
and health destroying pests have evi-
IDENTIFY gotten as much start in Denver
as they have in Grand Junction. The
Ore and police board Of Denver have is
sued an order that all tramps caught in
the city and who are placed in Jail for
any period whatever shall be made to
work on the streets cutting weeds.
Tho weeds have been the subject OF so
much adverse comment in that city that
the health commissioner DR.. Carlin has
issued manifesto to the public, which
declares that weeds growing on lots and
property belonging to parties are a
menace to the health of tho city and
that il not cut down at once, prosecu
ton will begin against the parties Of
Tending. when notified.
The following is the text Of his order,
in which he is backed by the hre and
police board.
ITO the public-As the season has ar
rived for the destruction Of weeds which
are both detrimental to health and un-
slightly to all lovers OF beautiful city,
l hereby declare all weeds and obnox-
ious plants growing on vacant lots a
nuisance and call upon all citizens own
ing or controlling lots or blocks upon
which weeds are allowed to grow to at
once cut and remove same. A failure
to do 80 when notified by any health
officer will subject the party to proeecu-
too. T. j. Carlin."
1t is to be hoped that DR. Taylor will
take the same action as has DR.. Carlin
in Denver. Ifthe city does not proceed
in the matter Or. Taylor can do so on
his own volition, as he can declare the
weeds menance to the health of the
city and the committee on streets and
alleys dare not place any hindranee in
his way, as the health of the city is
higher than any consideration to be
given tho whims of any committee, it
matters not what authority they may be
invested with by the board Of aldermen.
The health Of any city is its highest
consideration and the city physician has
full authority to procsed to rid these
lots and streets OF the weeds which have
practically taken the town.

An Avowed Candidate.

Robert h. Wilson, of Telluride, ono OF
the prominent members OF the bar OF
San Miguel county, was an arrival last
night over the narrow guage. Mr.. Will
son is an avowed candidate for the office
OF prosecuting attorney OF the Seventh
Judicial district, now filed by Samuel
G. McMullin. He is a pioneer of the
state having resided in the state for
nineteen years. a goodly portion OF that
time being spent in Gunnison. Mr.. Will
son has largo acquaintance throughout
the district and believes that his chances
for the nomination are more than fair.
He will carry, 30 he says, tho solid dele
cation from San Miguel county, his
homo county, and hopes to mako such
presentment OF his claims throughout
the district previous to the convention
that he will receive the majority of the
delegations.
Mr.. Wilson is very frank and manly
regarding his candidacy. He insists
that he is not in the field because his
friends want him to be, but because he
wants the office.
He believes that the Office of prosecut-
ing attorney of district gives oppor-
tunity for a general practice in the law
which is an education in itself and for
this among other reasons he wants the
Office, il he can secure it.
Mr.. Wilson is now touring the district
and is making a very favorable impress
ion wherever he goes.

First Gun Fired.


Lincoln, July 10000 people in the
afternoon and not less than 10000 peo-
ple tonight heard democratic, populist
and silver republican orators ratify tn g
nomination of Bryan in his own home
city.
Stevenson and Towne were present,
but nearly all the orators avoided the
vice presidency. Silver was not neglect
ed.
Anti-inperialism was the center note
OF all the orators.
Bryan made two speeches. One at 5
o'clock in the afternoon and another at
night.
General j. B. Weaver Of Iowa was the
first conspicuous populist to make a
speech paving the way for the accept
ance of Stevenson. General Weaver
served several terms in congress- and
was the populist candidate for pres
ident of the United States in 1892.
He served in congress with Stevenson
and tonight raid glowing tribute to
Stevensons high character and political
integrity.
He said that Stevenson was real
democrat and no populist need hesitate
about voting for him for vice president.
ut ls only sham democrats" Weaver
said, "that the populists should beware
Of"
Mr.. Bryan's night speech, too, is con-
strued as public plea to the populists
to accept Stevenson.
The greater part of the audience at
both meetings wsre populists and the
praise Of Stevenson by both Bryan and
Weaver was very generally applauded.
While there is no doubt whatever that
Mr.. Towne will decline the nomination
Of the Sioux Falls convention, it il now
probable that he will delay the an
nouncement of his intention for perhaps
three weeks yet.
There are populist state conventions
to be held in some OF the doubtful north
western states and it may be deemed
prudent to delay the announcement of
Townes intention until these have been
held.
The situation is deemed a delicate one
and will require careful handling.
The pressure OF the populists and
many democrats in the doubtful states
to Towne to hold on is very great.
The candidates on fusion tickets for
state or county offices are particularly
active in favor OF double tail to the
Bryan ticket.
The candidates for local Office fear
fusion between the republicans and the
middle-of- the road populists on local
offices and hence their anxiety to try
and induce Towne to accept the Sioux
Falls nomination.
Towns will delay issuing his edict of
retiring from the ticket until proper
communication can be had with the
populist leaders in the doubtful states.
He feels sure that whom the matter is
thoroughly explained, and Mr.. Steven
sons life long record as liberal demo
crat is understood, that there will be no
populist detection because OF his retro
ment from the ticket.
At any rate Towne has determined to
withdraw and his determination is ap-
proved by Bryan.
1t is understood that Roosevelt will
make an extensive campaign in the west
and to Towne will be assigned the duty
OF taking care OF him.
