"WARM" SCHOOL. ELECTION.
I. E. DeVine Elected Trustee to
 Succeed J. ii. Godfrey.

The school election last Saturday was a little the warmest one ever held in Yuma. There were 290 votes polled, of which J. E. Devine. editor of the Sun, received 152 and J. H. Godfrey l3S, leaving the former a majority of fl. There was no particular tissue involved, the result of the election de- pending entirely on the personal pref erences of voters-and the side which could roll up the mostxotes. However, as stated in the Sentinel hast week, MT. Godfrey's record as trustee was good enough to justify his continuance In that office-which, of course, did not necessarily imply that the opposing candidate, whoever he might be, would not be qualified to make as good rec ord. if elected, as Mir. Godfrey. As a matter of fact, it does not appear that the question of capability was given very much consideration by voters: as to the relative popularity of the two candidates. the vote does not indicate much of an advantage of one over the other-yet one was elected, and that settles it, for three years at least.
 At any rate it was a lively contest and brought out the biggest vote ever cast in the city. The feminine vote was large and the ladies worked like Troians for their favorite candidate. proving their effective hustling quail ties and electioneering ability.
 During the "heat of the fray" the wives of the opposing candidates met at a certain residence while rounding up voters, each intent on securing the votes of the household. No bitterness or recrimination or hair-pulling fol lowed. but the enthusiasm engendered is said to have raised the temperature in the room several notches, and stopped the clock. A compromise was finally effected by which the vote of the pre- cinct was divided-one lady taking the ''old man" and the other the lady of the house to the polls, each side securing vote. War was thus diplomatically averted and the country saved.
 While uncommon interest was showr in the contest, everything moved quietly and smoothly and the day closed with peaceful record-the re suit of the vote being gracefully ac knowledged and accepted by the de feated candidate and his friends.
 While the Sentinel has no reason tt doubt that MT. Devine will make $ good school officer, it is but simple jus tice to say that MT. Godfrey has made the best trustee the district has evel l had

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain

As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system, when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them.

However, any man who has con-
scientious scruples about voting for

forgiven.
1 am going in to win this race with
out spending any money. I have been
in the newspaper business so long that
the spending Of money has become a
lost art to me.
People who do not like me may now
shoot off their head ad libitum and

may even lie about me, but It's all
right. I expect it, and hereby prom
Use not to be surprised nor in the least
ruff1ed If I find myself affectionately
referred to as an expert cow thief, but
nevertheless will run-because /
want to, and it is not against the law.
In case am elected, will be solely
responsible for it, as nobody asked me
to run, and nobody but myself Is to
blame.
If the other candidates have any is

JOSHUA EXPRESSED HIS OPIN1oN.-A
story comes from Cambridge, Nd, Of
an experience of the late Judge Colds
borough, of that town, with one Joshua
Davis, who was much given to pro-
fame language. The Judge was severe
ly averse to pronfanity and there was
much curiosity to see what would hap
pen one day when Joshua was called to
the witness stand in court. In accord
ance with almost understandable habit
Joshua began his testimony with
a particularly fierce and sulphuric
oath.
"Stop!" thundered the judge. you
are fined S. for contempt Of court"
Joshua paid the money and resumed.
By extraordinary effort he succeeded
in delivering several unobjectionable
sentences, but, warming up to his
subject, relasped into his usual vocab-
ulary.
Again did the judge impose fine.
Now, flaming with wrath, Joshua
asked:
Judge, can you fine me for think
ing in court?"
why, no; of course, not!" was the
answer.
well, then" said Joshua, II think
you are a blank, blank fool, and no
mistake!"

the quiet man lit fresh cigar and

such riddles as why is your hat like a

those with two are far more difficult
For instance:
What are the differences between
the son of a millionaire, an organ and

But what about the gluepot?' in
