Boy Burglars Convicted.

The officers aud q few of the cit Gems OF
Centervllle have been engaged for the last
ten days in unraveling a mystery in con-
nectiOn with a robbery that occurred there
some time ago, and have succeeded in
iastening the guilt upon the right parties.
The first clew that could he relied upon
was the finding OF a portion OF the stolen
goods at Yankton in III. possession OF a
III. year-old boy named Mason. Olher
boys of about his age who had associated
with him and who had been suspected Of
having some hand in the matter, we're ar
rested. Upon the trial, at which Alonzo
Mason, Clerence FatherIos, Louis Coz
man and Clay Scott were defendants,
Mason and Fatierlos were convicted and
will be sent to the reform school. Colman
and Scott were liberated, the former be-
cause there was an insuficiency Of evil
dence and the latter because he left the
other boys before the stolen goods were
removed from the building and there was
10 evidence that I've ever went any farther
than to enter tie building at the request
nj the other boys.

KING OSCAR CHOSEN
AZ An ARBITRATOR IN THE VEN.
EzuELAN QUESTION.
~ Designascd BY the Lord Chief
Justtce Or England and the Chief
Justice OF the United States.
Ming Oscar Chosen.

King ChO80n. \
The King OF Sweden and Norway, Oscar
H., has been chosen by treaty between
the United States and Great Britain as
the iifth ofacial arbitrator OF the venezue-
Ian boundary question. The other Official
NrbitFat0rs, four In number, are to be des-
lGnated, two BY the Lort Chief Justice OF
Engiand and two by the Chief Justice OF
the United States. This Is the final and
most important feature Of the treaty for
the complete adjustment OF the long pend
Ing Venezuelan controversy. The treaty
was concluded ia Washington Monday
night u the British embassy, Sir Julian
Paunccfote representing her Britannia
mai ssty aud Secretary Olney the United
States.
King Oscar has long shown . most cor
dial sentiment toward the United States,
and this doubtless had q part In his selec-
ton.
While most cordial towards the United
States, King Cesar is not the less friendly
% Great Britain, though there are no ties
" Immediate kinship with the British
royal family.
The leading and judicial fairness which
King Oscar has shown in several recent
arbitrations has led to the feeling that he
= pre-eminently qualified for the re-
sponsibility. involved In his present
choice by the United States and Great
Britain.
The understanding 10 that tho entire
Venezuelan boundary will be thrown
opon 10 arbitration.
