Salt Lake, May 31.-The outlaws who
killed Sheriff Tyler and Cattleman
jenkins are now supposed TO be near
Powder Springs, Wyoming. according
to advices from Nernal. Utah. Deputy
Sheriff Tolliver's posse is hot after
them. As the posse has fresh horses
and the outlaws jaded animals. it is
believed that Il meeting is imminent.
There is hardly doubt that somebody
will be killed. as the outlaws are splen-
didly armed, and the posse is deter
mined to get them. dead or alive.
Three outlaws seen east of Cisco.
and at first supposed to be the muir

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS IN
COLORADO.

The prospects of Republican success
in the coming presidential campaign
in this state grows brighter and bright
er. The attendance at the recent state
convention to select delegates to Phila-
delphia demonstrated the interest that
is going on all over the state, and is
a bright omen for an oldfashioned Re
publican victory in November next.
The issue of expansion appeals
strongly to voters of this state, who
can readily see that the Republican
policy on that question means the de-
velopment of the immense mineral re-
sources of this state. The business
man of this state wants no change in
the administration at Washington. A
business man who was an ardent sup
porter of Bryan four years ago voiced
this sentiment in conversation with
the writer few days ago, when he
stated: Il have invested 100000 in
cattle within the last thirty days, and
would never have made the investment

Wondering Ahout pretorIn.

London, June Although the wal

no one in London harbors the idea that
the Boer capital is not already in the
hands of the British. or about to be

has telegraphed, is fact.
The present seat of the Boer govern

The discovery that there is a kind
of struggle for existence and survival
of the fittest among rivers is one of
the most interesting results of the
modern study of physiography. A not
able example of this contest is ex-
hibited by England's two longest
rivers. the Thames and the Severn.
Between their valleys lie the Cotswold
Hills, and exploration shows that the
Severn, by eating backward among
these hills, where softer strata under
lie them, has diverted to itself some
of the headwaters, which formerly
flowed into the Thames. So consider
able has this action been that the two
rivers concerned have been denomi-
mated the waxing Severn and the
waning Thames

The powerful influence exerted by
trivial circumstances receives new en-
phasis in the fact that the officials of
the United States treasury regard the
recent petition for the coinage of half
cents as fresh indication of business
prosperity Since a billion cents are
already in circulation, and since there
is a monthly coinage of four millions
more, the supply of small change is
certainly not scanty. There are two
sides to the question of adding the new
coin to the list. Asa Gray once at

superiority of the American over the

itself into pounds, shillings and
pence" While the American smiles he
still cherishes a belief that the natural
subdivision of money stops at the cent!
