For several winters past Yuma has suffered from disease brought in here by strangers and visi- tors. If the town authorities had done their duty the entrance of diseased persons could have been prevented. Winter is again here. and what has happened in the past may be repeated unless proper and effective measures are taken to keep out such af- ficted persons. It is the duty of the officials to see that the town is placed in a good sanitary condition, safeguards put out and everything done to protect the people against contagious disease, such as was brought in last winter. Official negligence may cost us dear. It cannot, therefore, be too strongly urged by all those who have the wei fare of the town at heart. that an aunce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

THE OFFICIAL. CANVASS.

The board of supervisors met according to law last Monday to canvass the returns of the cleo tion held November 1, the full board and clerk being present.
 An unusual, and so far unex- plained, circumstance concerning the official vote was brought to light regarding the returns from Kofa precinct. The package containing the ballots was found open. MT. Bondesson, the depu- ty recorder, who received the packages, says that when M. J. Nugent, election Inspector at Kofa, delivered them to him the envelope containing the ballots was open on one side and the center seal more or less cracked; :; that he deposited the packages in the recorders safe, where they renamed for nine days be- fore being delivered to the treas urer which was not fulfilling the requirements of the law.
 Paragraph 2395 of the revised statutes says:
 "Uron receipt of the package the clerk must deposit in the safe of the county treasurer the one containing the ballots, who must keep it unopened and unal- tered for six months, after which time, if there be no contest com menced, he must burn the pack age without opening or examin- ing the contents"
 A further irregularity in this connection was, that before be- ing delivered to the treasurer, the sole legal custodian, It ap- pears that the package of bal lots came into the hands of the canvassing board, and by this time the seals on the envelope were all broken-in fact, the en- velope was open.
 The above are simply the facts as developed through the pro- ceedilgs of the canvassing board, and the Sentinel presents them without comment at this time.
 The board completed the can vass on Monday and adjourned until the third Monday in De- cember.
 Following is the result as determined by the official count;

Adyices to the Tucson Star from Tombstone state that miu- ing men who have just arrived there report an important dis cOvery in connection with the in- ternational boundary line be- tween the United States and Mexico. At a point some fifteen miles from Tom bstone the monu- ment marking the dividing line has been moved as much as three-quarters of a mile into Mexico.

The South'S Flag.

The woman who claimed to be the Betsy Ross of the coufeder- ate states, has just been buried at Alexandria, Va. Although she said she made the first con- federate flag, her death was un- noted. The claimant was Mrs. Sibby A. Padgett, who lived in Alexandria. She made the flag that was the indirect cause of the death of Colonel Elmer Els worth, the young and impetuous friend of President Lincoln. She made it at the request of James Jackson, proprietor of the Mar shall house. As soon as it was completed Jackson had it raised over his hotel, when tine young colonel demanded that it come down. Jackson shot Ellsworth as he was coming down the stairs with the flag. The weapon with which the murder was com mitted is on exhibition in the Ma tional museum, and a sister of Jackson keeps boarding house not far from the repository of the gun,

Discharged Convict Killed by Train.

John Miller, who was discharged from the territorial prison last week, met with a horrible death Monday night, under the wheels of an east-bound freight, near Mohawk Summit. The headless and mangled body was found four miles east of the station Tuesday morning by tramps, who reported the fact to the railroad agent. The head was found thirty feet from the body and the clothes of the unfortunate man were strewn along the track for two miles. The supposition is that Miller was riding on the rods under a car and fell from his position while the train was going down the steep grade east Of Mohawk Summit.
 Judge RieT. accompanied by Marshall Jake Meadows, went to Mohawk Sum- init, where an inquest was held yester- day.

Origin of Old Glory.

In the "reminiscences of Lord Ronald Cover is found a story of the Stars and Stripes.
 The Star Spangled Banner of the American republic has it's origin from an old brass on the floor of Brighton church in Northamptonshire. The brass covers the tomb of one Robert Washington and is dated 1922. On it appears the Washington coat of arms, consisting of three stars with bars and stripes be- meath them. On the first day of the new year, 1776, the thirteen united colonies raised a standard at Washington's headquarters.
 This introduced the stripes of the present, but retained the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on a blue ground in the corner; in 1777 the crosses were replaced by stars, as the decla- ration of independence rendered the English element unnecessary and inconvenient. In thus adopting the arms of his ances- tors as his own distinctive badge Washington, no doubt, intended the flag merely as a private signal for his own per sonal following, but it was at once adopted as a national em- blem. Probably there is not another case in the worlds his tory Tn which the private arms of an obscure family have at- tained such world wide eminence and repute.

The Sentinel opposed the cleo tion of Senator Ives, but has al all tunes recognized his ability, and the territorial legislature being democratic, we endorse him for president of the council. At the last session he presided with ability, and being well versed in parliamentary law nc better selection could be made. He represents Yuma county and we desire the county honored by his election as presiding officer.

That old copybook maxim finds its most forceful application in the waste of vitality, which Is called rburning the candle at both ends" A woman is often tempted beyond her strength by domestic or social demands.

One of the several peculiar fea- lures of the late election was the vote on precinct officers in the Harrisburg precinct. For jus tice of the peace there were five candidates and each received one vote, as shown by the official re- turns. For constable there were three candidates and each re- ceived one vote. Apparently in both cases each candidate voted for himself unanimously.

There is nothing pharisaica

There is nothing pharisaical about Henry T. Gage, governor of California. His thanksgiving proclamation contains about forty words and is a model of common sense and brevity. He rightly assumes that people will spend the day according to their individual tastes and as their circumstances and environments will permit. Strange as it may seem, he kept within the strict limits of the Constitution. In all future proclamations of thanksgiving day it would be we'll if the example of Governor Gage were followed.

Bulgarian Brigands.

The Balkan mountains have been
the homes and haunts of many brig
ands through centuries Of Bulgarian
history. In the sixteenth century q
national movement against the Oppres-
sion of Turkey fell into the hands of
brigand chiefs. They were known by
the name of Haidutin. They were rep
resented as friends Of the poor, the pro
tectors Of the weak, the allies Of Chris
tians and the foes of the MOhamme-
dams. In legends and in songs their
names and fame were perpetuated.
They increased from the ranks OF the
avengers and the worthless. Once
Identified with them a brigand's safety
consisted In continuing with them. The
Turks blocked the way to return to the
ranks Of common citizenship. Villag-
ers often welcomed them as deliverers
from their oppressors.-Leslie's Week
