YOUNG SLEUTHS IN KANSAS.
Interrupt Alleged Grain Thief, but For
get Important Clues.

A special to the Kansas City
journal of July 4th, concerns
boys in the west edge of Barton
and east edge of Rush counties, as
follows:
The existence of a band of real
boy detectives" is revealed by
the record in, the grain stealing
case from Rush county which
came to the supreme court today.
Guy Connors is charged with
stealing grain from the farm of
c. Werhahn and he was convicted
on the evidence of a number of
boys who have banded themselves
together to suppress grain thefts.
The alleged robbery of Farmer
Werhahn's grainery occurred on
December Is, 1905. On the
night of the robbery, some farmer
boys living not far from Connors'
place saw a lantern flashing about
his barn, and saw Connors, wagon
leave the place. They got on
horseback and followed at a con-
siderable distance, picking up
other members of the band of
sleuths on the way. They fol-
lowed the Connors wagon for
several miles, until it drew up at
Werhahn's graihery, where 700
bushels of wheat were stored.
Several members of the band
secreted themselves behind a hay
stack and watched the thieves load
the wagon with wheat. The other
members of the party hid them
selves along the road back to
Connors' house to wait for the re-
turning wagon, and one party
was dispatched to intercept the
wagon at a certain place. The
watchers behind the haystack and
along the road got all the
evidence they needed, and were
able to swear that Connors was
the man on the wagon load of
wheat when it started away fro m
Werhahn's. But the intercept
ing party got into trouble. When
they started to come in close to
the wagon, the man opened fire
on them with a revolver and they
took to cover. Finding himself
closely pursued, the man pulled
the tail board out of his wagon
and allowed all the wheat to spill
out alongside the road. When
the detectives" found that the
wheat had been dumped, they be-
came so excited that they ap.
parently forgot all about follow.
ing the wagon, and were unable
to say whether it went to Connors'
farm,

hearing Wednesday, and plead
guilty to a charge of petty

which he paid and left the
country. The man was in all
probability guilty of grand lar
ceny, but the prosecuting witness,
who is not very bright mentally,
could not tell a very we'll connect
ed story, and the officers did not
think it right to hold the man un.
til he could be tried by the dis.
trict court, and then have him
turned loose by a jury, as it would
only add to the expense of the
county. The officers are not to
be blamed at all for doing as they
did. If there had been any direct
evidence that could be depended
upon when the time came fol
trial, he would have been held.

THE EAGLES BALL
\ BRIGHT OCCASION.

The third annual ball OF the Grand
Junction Aerie, No 592, Fraternal
Order of Eagles. was given last night
at the Auditorium. and in spite of
the fact that the attendance was not
as large as it should have been every
body present pronounced the hop
one of the most enjoyable given in
the city this season,
Perhaps one hundred and forty
ladies and gentlemen We're present to
enjoy the pleasures of the dance.
Many expected that the crowd of
dancers would number three or four
hundred but there have been too
many balls in Grand Junction late
~ and there are too many to come
within a short time TO guarantee a
large attendance at one OF the public
balls. However the crowd last night
was just the right size for good
time and a congenial and happy spir-
II marked the progress OF the even
ing, and not lady or gentleman who
was fortunate enough 10 he a guest
of the Eagles last night have anything
other than something good 10 say
about the third annual ball of the
Grand Junction aerie of Eagles.
The dancing started shortly after
nine o'clock and continued until
about two o'clock with but short ces-
sations Whitney's orchestra furn-
ished the music of the very best class,
the floor was in fine condition and
every arrangement was admirably
made, The program of dances was
varied and pleasing.
AT midnight the Woman's Relief
Corps served an elegant supper on
the stage. The menu was charm
ing and n better repast has not been
served at public bali or banquet in
the city this season. 1t was partaken
of and enjoyed by nearly every mem
Der of the jolly crowd.
There We're many pretty decorat-
i've effects, flags were tastefully ar
ranged in groups and the big mount
ed eagles from the lodge rooms oc-
cupied places of prominence.

A COLORADO STATE FLAG.

There is no question that Colorado
ought to have state flag The sug-
gestion of the Colonial DANES of
Colorado Springs hat their state or
sanization adopt banner should be
carried to the state itself With much
care n design for u state emblem
should be chosen. and thereafter the
Colorado flag should be used on all
distinctly state occasions by all or
CARNATIONS.
A banner appeals TO patriotism, to
chivalry, TO pride. Around II men
rally in defense of the cause for which
it stands. Thousands and tens Of
thousands of splendid men have given
their lives TO protect from daseera-
tion a little piece of bunting which
has meant to them all that home and
Preside. native land and country
mean. Ii we should awaken and ap-
peal to the state pride of our people
we should give them state emblem.
for in rallying to it they would come
together in behalf of all the good
which. as faithful citizens they might
do for In behalf Of their state,
No conflict would ever be suggested
for a single moment between faith
fulness to the state and loyalty to
the national emblem Subordinate
at all times. the state emblem would
appeal only in respect to distinctly
state matters and state interests.
That there is need of such an appeal
any one must admit who observes
the Indifference and the neglect which
characterize the attitude OF a large
percentage of the people toward their
states and their state governments.

A ChiIdIesS Queen
Means a Republic!

Special to The Sentinel.
The Hague. Feb. Five years
ago today Queen Wilhelmina went to
the altar blushing bride. full Of
happiness and hopes for the future.
All the kingdom shared in the joy
of the occasion.
Today the bright winsome charm
of the young queen has faded, and
there fingers over her brow the IN
mistakable expression of disap-
pointed woman. Her subjects too.
are disappointed, for Queen Wilhel-
nina remains without an heir 10 the
throne.
A strange story has been circulat-
ed to the effect that according to the
Dutch Constitution If the Queen is
childless five years after her mar
rage parliament is empowered to
dissolve the union and that there is
a clause in the wedding contract per-
hitting this. As matter Of fact
there is not the slightest foundation
for such a report For some time
the government has been busy re
yisinc the constitution. especially
Articles 10 to 20. which refer to the
succession. The nearest In the line
of succession is the Grand Duke Of
Saxe-W eimer After him comes a
princess of Reuss and then the prin-
cess of Wied.
There is marked antipathy
through Holland to all these possible
SUCCESSORS. as all are German and H.
is believed their succession to the
throne would mean in effect the plac-
ing of the kingdom under the domin-
ance of the German emperor. 1t is
likely. therefore. that no heir will be
sought but that another peaceful
revolution will be carried out and
the government made a republic. The
prevailing sentiment was voiced by
the late DR.. Kuyper. the prime min
lister. when he said that Holland
would resort to arms rather than sink
