No State Funeral

ST. Petersburg. Feb. 20.-( (Spe-
decided that the remains of Grand
Duke Sergius Will not be brought to
st. Petersburg for the present. but
Will be placed in a temporary recelv-
ing vault of the cloister of the Chou
don monastery to await the compile
tion of the alterations now in pro-
gress in the Romanoff mausoleum,
in the cathedral of ST. Peter and St.
Paul, where permanent interment
will take place.
On account of lack of space in
the mausoleum, it was decided last
year henceforth to bury only rulers
of the dynasty in the old mausoleum
and new sepulchre in the new wing
of the cathedral is now being built
for other members of the imperial
family.
This, however, is not the only rea-
son for the decision not to bring the
remains to the capital now.
Governor General Trepoff has rec
ognized the fact that no precautions
can furnish an absolute guarantee of
immunity against an act of terror
ism, and at a great state funeral
where custom compels members of
the Romanoff family to assemble and
follow the coffin on foot, single
bomb might wipe out the dynasty.
Regard for the personal safety of
the sovereign also has led to the
decision that the emperor shall not
go to Moscow to attend the funeral
1t is possible that no members of
the imperial family will be present
except those who are now within the
walls of the Kremlin.
Sa grave is the danger of the re-
petition of the Moscow tragedy that
several of the grand dukes have not
stirred out of their palaces since the
murder. and instead of going to Tsar-
koe-Selo to attend the requiem there
they have participated in special ser
vices held in the ehapels of their
own palaces.
This was the case as regards Grand
Dukes Vladimir and Alexis.
A special requiem was also held in
the winter palace that Governor Ire
pom might attend.
General Trepoff is said to be under
sentence by the lighting organiza-
ton of the social revolutionists and
so far as can be ascertained has not
left his quarters since the assassina-
tion OF Grand Duke Sergius.

same show.
After very thorough discussion
upon the matter, 1t was finally de-
cided that the committee would for
the present abandon their visit to
Denver. in behalf of the Grand juno
tion bill. II was further decided that
they would invite the committee
working for Delta to meet the Grand
Junction committee to agree to with
draw their bill for the location of
the state normal at Delta, the Grand
Junction committee doing the same
and agreeing to work for the COM
promise measure. This, so far as
the local committee could see, would
be the only way to secure any action
during the present session of the leg
islature. Representative Hoyt stated
1t as his opinion that he did not be
lieve that in any other way would
the house take the matter up at all,
as there was a disposition to avoid
the fight, If the various towns would
not agree to compromise.
The situation being as stated. the

enlng then decided that it would use
It's best endeavors to secure a meet

see what could be done looking to
working in harmony with the other
committees to secure the compromise

1t was the sense of the committee
that they do not abandon one iota
of their prosecution of the work to
secure the location of the state nor
NAL at Grand Junction. All the mem
bers were enthusiastic and were will
ing to do almost anything to forward
the movement.

A Splendid Sermon.

Yesterday morning Rev. James A.
Becker of the Congregational church
took for his theme THE Simple Life"
and delivered a mastery discourse
which was thoroughly enjoyed by a
large congregation.
Rev. Becker's discussion of the
simple life was most entertaining.
His views were most interesting.
George Washington" the minister
declared, "is the exemplification of
the simple life of aristocracy, while
Abraham Lincoln is the exemplifica-
tion of the simple life of democracy"
Speaking of the corruptness of
many of the circles of so called aris-
tocracy Rev. Becker referred to the
attacks of Henry Waterson, the brill
liant editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, on New York's -four hun
dred" some years ago, which attract
ed the attention of the world. The
minister spoke of the telling effects
of these cutting and pointed attacks
from the pen of the great editor, and
gave them his endorsement.
The sermon was a brilliant effort
and has called forth much favorable
comment. Rev. Becker is man of
ability and his sermons are always of
the highest class.

Holding Election Today.

A big bond election is being held
at Palisade today by the stockhold-
ers of the Palisade Irrigation Dis
trlct. The proposition to issue bonds
to the amount of 100000 is be
ing voted upon and there is no doubt
that the bonds will carry.
The bonds are to be issued for
the continuation and support of the
old Price ditch and pumping plant.
This is the second election held on
the bond proposition. Some time
ago an election was held and the
bonds carried, there being but one
vote in opposition, but the election
was knocked out and declared null
and void on some legal technicality.
Consequently another election was
necessary.

The matter of the bill was fully

members of the assembly took the
position that the committee could DO
