A SLIGHT CHANGE.

I have recently purchased tho in. terosts of the other members oi the Perkins Howe Go. and shah talk e fNH chafgsof all fdcpartments of gHE HERALD, and shall devote fhy sesS efforts toward maintaining its present high standard as a live country weekly.
 Above you will have read tho valedictory notice of retiring Edi- ter Ling. do not hesitate for a moment in saying that 1 am sure all our readers have enjoyed MT. Ling's rich and racy style, and as lie goes forth. to other duties, 1 am sure he has the best wishes of all the readers of The Herald.
 As editor of this sheet 1 hope to he able to find and print all the news of the county, that is proper to print; and shall eDdeavor to present enough Territorial and general news to add spice to our local happenings.
 This change will not affect the religion or politics of the paper. Our religion continues to be to pay our inst debts and expect our fel- low man to do likewise, in other matters the "Goldcn Rule" will do, Politically we shall remain un- daunted, but not Quixotic Republi- ean.
 We wish to thank our patrons for past liberal suppor., and trust that we may merit a continuance of your esteemed patronage. But there are, sometimes, patrons who are not over careful in making prompt payments, this necesitates our having 10 send out bins md even dnns which causes little walls of displcasure. Notwithstanding theSe unpleasantnesses we must eat or we can't publish paper.
 Those who are indebted 10 this paper will receive bIns within the next few days and we hope to re- oeiye prempt settlements so that we shall not be under the necessity of sending out duns later.
 YsUrS to serve the public,

THAT AWFUL REPUBLICAN.

The following unique epistlc was sent to the Gazette by republican joker who seeks to have a little fun at the expense of Bryanism.
 remember an old hen in the barnyard. She was large trim Tn dustFious, motherly hen. She had reared brood ot a dozen or su chicks every year. The largest and proudest cock always attended on her and called her when he found a tidbit or fat worm for her to scratch up. She was the princess dowager of that farm yard. One spring as the buds swelled she began busi- ness, made her nest and laid her eggs and gave notice of her deter imitation to set by clucking about. Malicious boys, we put up a job on tho old hen. We found a turkey that had been setting some time, and stole two of her eggs and put them under the hen together with two eggs from an old gray gooso's nest, two from duck, and two from 0 guinea hens nest and added them Then we went out to an old dead tree and stole two eggs out of a crows Lest and added these. The old hen Sat on just the same, and by and by her eggs matched and the next day she led her brood out proudly into the sunlight of the barn yard. He- old rooster came over to her and then marched a. round the motley brood of turkeys, goslings, duekEngs, guinea chicks, and crows, gobbring, h1ssing, quack- ing, screechiDg. and cawiEg. He cooked one eye at them and then the other and then he strode away with very angry remark to the old hen, as the boys thought. The old hen followed hlm and piteous. ly begged him, saying Il didn't lay those eggs" :" He winked. his eye and whipped his wing at her, went over among the other hens, and the boys heard him say, pointing to the brood: "Another hen gone wrong"
 Silver republicans and gold dem ocrats, anarchists and socialists, Catholics and "A. P. A's', AguI- naldo and few democrats all in the same brood, are led by Bryan and are scratching for the same worm together.-Ariz. Gazette.

THE GALVESTON STORM.

The daily papers give harrow ing account of a tornado along the gulf coast of Texas. Galveston, a .ity of 65 GOO population. lies Tn ruins. Fully 5000 of its people are drowned by the awful waves that swept over the city. Business houses and residences are in ruins. The wharves are swept away, as are the bridges. Big steamers lie wrecked on the beach. The city is filled with the maimed, the sfar- wing and the homeless. The dead are being buried in the sea. Whole families are found lying side by side, swept upon the shore by the raging waters. Everywhere in the island city desolation and death' distress and destitutlon are but too plainly seen,
 Galveston and its suburbs are not the only scenes of death and ruin wrought by the storm last Sat- urday morning. Augleton, Algo, Alto Loma, BeIleville, Bolivia Pearl, Quinta and Waller are some other, smaller, towns wholly or partially destroyed. And along the coast for two miles inland, at every plantation, the same scenes were enacted by the furious storm.
 Ten thousand people have lost their lives, and fully ton million dollars worth of property has been destroyed.
 President Mckinley has issued an order directing the Secretary of War 10 furnish tents and provisions to the destitute.
 The storm was predicted by the United States Weather Bureau to strike Galveston Friday night, tho 7th, and created much appreheI-- sion; but the night passed without the storm coming. But by ten o'clock Saturday morning the gulf force drove the waves hIgh upon the beach and the northeast wind pitched tho water ten feet deep on the city. The conditions steadily grew worse until the wind became d tornado tearing down the build iDgs, and the waves dashed in over all, carrying away the ruins with the struggling, the dead and the dy- ing and piling them up together.

Berries That Grow fin {

Berriea That crow in the Arctic
 The Eskimo children have other things than .snowballs and icebergs 10. eat. Things grow very fast in the short arctic summer. As soon as the snow melts off in many places the ground is covered with a vine which bears a small berry something. like huckleberry,. porwong it is called. It is sour and has a pungent taste, and the Indians leave off work and go porwong hunting, cramming them selves with the berries. It is lucky thing for them that the summer is SO short, or there would be an epi- denic of cholera.
