Merry BURGLAR
Makes a Neat Little Haul at the
Western Hotel Last Night
and Escapes.

A burglar who evidently had cool
head and plenty of nerve made a
pretty good haul at the Western Hotel
last night.
At 10 20 o'clock. Mr.. Mcmillan.
night clerk. left the office to accom-
pany some baggage to the depot. The
office doors were all locked and the
electric lights ere burning brightly.
When Mr.. Mcmillan returned he
found that the cash drawer had been
ransacked and about seventy dollars
in cash as missing, along with a
large pooketbook containing valuable
papers.
a search was made. 1t was found
that a door in the rear of the house
opening into a hall on the west of the
office was standing open. Just out
side of this door in an alley was found
the pocketbook containing the papers.
the burglar finding that they we're of
no use to him threw the book away.
In the book was twenty dollars in
gold wrapped in paper. This was
found with the book. the thief hav-
ing overlooked it.
The cash drawer works ON springs
and had been opened with little
trouble. Officers were summoned
Night Marshal O'Neil assisted by
Myron Mckinney at once corraled
fourteen hoboes and locked them in
the city Jail on suspicion.
Mr.. Mcmillan is inclined to think
that the burglar was familiar with
the house. He evidently knew just
what door through which admittauce
could be easily gained. The ease with
which he opened the ombination cash
drawer proves that he either knew
the com bination or is an experienced
crook
The burglar got away with fifty
dollars in cash. There is no clew to
his identity. The robbery was bold
piece OF work, as the office was bril-
liautly lighted and the chances of
being discovered were greatly against
the burglar.

ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
On the Twentieth of November
1893, The Daily Sentinel Came
Into Existence.

Eleven years ago today The
Daily Sentinel was launched on
s the journalistic sea Ito use a
: hackneyed phrase). There was
: not much of disturbance caused
3 by the event, and no one could
; feel any perceptible ground swell
5 because of the advent of the new
s publication.
1t was i'll the midst of the dark
{ financial period of 1898, and
} there was not much in prospect
for daily newspaper, in compe-
tition with one already in exist
ence. But the publishers believed
they had a mission to perform,
and, furthermore, that the paper
would win in the long run, and,
with such a spirit back of the
enterprise, they hesitated not.
When the paper began publ
cation it had no backing of any
kind save the friendship of the
business interests of the city.
There was no strong company
behind it, ready and willing to
put up money in its behalf. 1t
was opposing the political pow
ers that were then dominant and
could expect no favors in that
direction. 1t could not hope to
secure aid to purchase the oppo-
sition paper, as has since been
done by another publication in
the city, with money furnished
by political party; but it had
faith in itself and i'll the city in
which it undertook to win an ex-
istence, and it has lived to see
many opponents come and go.
Not half its mission has been
performed. 1t hopes it never
will be. Its particular duty, as it
sees it, is to build up a greater
Grand Junction, more than to be
the organ of any particular par
ty. 1t has its political convic-
tons, but it believes there is a
higher mission than to be simply
the mouthpiece of politicians.
The Sentinel has seen Grand
Junction grow strong, and has
assisted as best it knew how to
help build up the city.
1t has no higher purpose than
to work on and on to make the
city and county, that has given
it support, wax strong and be-
come the great commercial cen
ter of a territory unlimited in its
natural resources.

THE PRESS A POWER.
Rev. Eugene Smith Delivered an
Able Sermon on the Influence
of Good and Bad Literature.

Sunday morning Rev. Smith of
the Methodist church, delivered an
able and very interesting sermon
on the power of the press and the
influence of good and bad literature.
He spoke of the great progress made
in the newspaper world and declared
that the newspaper press was one
OF the greatest powers in the world
today. He declared that the daily
papers in town the size of Grand
Junction possessed great influence,
then certainly the influence of the
great city dailies was indeed marve-
lous. He paid his respects to the yell
detective stories, explained what great
harm that class of literature and the
sensational journals caused.
In the evening Rev. Smiths theme
was Sunrise or Sunset. He took
for his text these words. Say not
thou, why are the former days better
than these, for thou doest not inquire
wisely concerning these things" In
brief the sermon was a discussion of
the question of whether the world
is growing better or worse and are
we living in an age of advancement
or refrigeration.
Rev. Smith took the position that
the Golden Age was before us not be-
hind US. He declared that we were
advancing morally. intellectually. and
in every way. He compared the
cities of sacred, ancient and medieval
histories, with the cities of today.
told of the wickedness of the old
cities and the sins of the modern, and
then declared that our cities were
/ far better than the cities of old. Pol
itics. said the minister, are cleaner
today than ever before in spite of the
cries of political corruption. There
are just as great men in politics to-
day as there were one hundred years
ago or one thousand years ago. The
church is more perfect today than it
was in the centuries past. Social
life is purer.
] L. H. &loN T.
growing worse all the time is a pes
simist, thinks Rev. Smith. For only
he who looks ON the dark side of life
can believe such things. The world
is growing better day by day, the
former days are not better than these.
The Golden Age is ahead. 1t is sun
rise not sunset in the world today.
The world is advancing morally, re-
ligiously. politically. The man who
declares the world is growing worse
every day is suffering from one of
three things he las ill health, his
mind is filled with false information
or he has no faith in God. Solomon
knew whereof he spoke when he said
Say not thou, why are the former
days better than these, for thou dost
not inquire wisely concerning these
things. f"
The two sermons delivered yester-
day by the eloquent Methodist pastor
were discourses of the highest or er
and greatest interest a large con-
gregation was present on each &C.
casion.
In speaking Of the great influence
daily paper has in a town of this
size. the minister stated that it wa:
} remarkable how easily a paper va,

AN ORIENTAL CITY
To Be Erected in SanFranciscO to
Cost Twenty-Five Million
Dollars.

A local company has been in
corporated in SanFrancisco with
capital of $4,000, 900 to build
an Oriental city along the bay
shore in south SanFrancisco.
The matter has been discussed
from time to time and the an
nouncement has caused consid-
cradle comment in that place and
the eastern cities as well. The
Chinese quarters i'll that city will
be transferred there and the sec
ton now occupied by the Chi
nese will be torn down, entirely
renovated and fashionable res
idential portion of the city will
be built instead. The proposed
city will be Oriental in every
respect and considerable research
has been done to manage the
plan successfully. Some of the
most conservative capitalists of
tbs state are interested in the
scheme.

WATCH THE WATER
An Attempt to Turn the Head of
The Grand River to the
Eastern Slope.

Although the Grand river car
ries more water than can possibly
be used for irriGating purposes
along its course the people living
along that stream should tale some
action to conserve their interests
in case tho flow of water should
ever become lessened. A scheme is
now being carried out whereby the
hesdwaters of the river are to be
turned to the eastern slope, and,
although this will cause no dam
age at this time and probably not
for many years to come, it will DO
well enough to protect all rights
that might possibly be injured by
the diversion of water. -Gleuwood
