 ing the County's Interests.

All of these outstanding warrants will be called by the county treasurer for payment on or about January 1, 1908.
 For the past two years, warrants of this character have received the bene- fit of per cent interest per apnum from the date of their registration to the date of their call by the treasurer and in addition to this rate of inter est, 6 per cent interest per annum from the date of their issue to the date CT their registration.

Honorable Joseph Fl. Kibbey.
 Governor of Arizona. Sir:
 have the honor to submit the fol- lowing report relative to the admin istration Of county affairs by the Board of Supervisors of Cochise Coun- ty, Arizona
 Chapter A of the Session Laws Of 1907. provides that in counties Of the first, second and third classes, the Board of Supervisors shall hold at least one regular meeting per month for the transaction of business.

FLIES MORE DANGEROUS
AS GERM CARRIERS
THAN MOSQUITOES

Flies are worse than mosquitoes
as disseminators of disease, accord
ing to the expert Investigators of the
New York Merchants Association,
who have been making study of the
insects which infest the water front
of that city. DIR. Daniel Jackson says
that flies are responsible for 5000
of the 1000 deaths which occur an
nually from typhoid and other in
testinal diseases.
The Investigators gathered no.
925 flies during the summer of 1907,
and subjected them to bacteriolog-
ical examination. One fly was found
to be carrying in his mouth and on
his legs more than 100000 bacteria.
The activity of the house fly is in
proportion to the heights of the tenn
perature. and the time at which the
flies are most active and numerous
corresponds exactly with the time OF
the activity of typhoid fever and the
other intestinal diseases.
Tho committee. of which Edward
Hatch, Jr., J. P. Morgan, Dr. Albert
Wander Veer and Colonel John Y.
Cuyler are the other members, has
presented dts report to Governor
Hughes. It asks for the abatement
of the nuisance of sewage pollution.
which is making the waters of New
York harbor breeding place for the
deadly agency OF disease.

BEATRICE GORDON
IS TELLING HER
STORY
Especial to The Sentinel. }

Especial to Ihe Sentlnel.)
Denver. Feb. 15.-Beatrice Cor
don can now count the minutes to
the time when she will be declared
guilty or not guilty of the murder
of William Shirey.
This morning she was called to the
stand to tell her heartbreaking story.
Soon after the court was called
to order at 9 am, Attorney Horace
Benson announced that the state had
rested its case. This was surprise
but the defense was not caught nap
ping.
Miss Gordon, the defendant. was
at once called to the stand, and with
bowed head she began the story of
her life with the man who after
ward fell by her hand. 1t was a
pathetic recital. and at times the
women spectators wept.
There will be few witnesses for
the defense, and. unless the cross
examination OF the accused is pro-
longed. the taking of the testimony
may be finished before night and the
case given to the jury late Monday.

Students
Mixed Up
Stirring Chapter Written in Local Schoolboy History When
Sophomores and Freshmen Attempt to Make
the Junior and Senior Boys Prisoners
Police Called in by One Side

En- route to the hall the senior and
junior students of the male gender
were stopped If possible; but the
success attendant upon this portion
of the program was not very great.
as quite few of the juniors and SEN
iors showed fight and there was some
damage to clothes in scuffles and a
few scratched faces.
The very inconsiderate matter was
calling for police interference, who
run a score or more of the little fell
lows of the classes into the lookup,
but who were released shortly after
ward.
1t was the sort of an affair that
has occurred in college towns from
time immemorial and to which lit
tie or no attention is usually paid
by the authorities, save where the
boys go beyond the limit of gentil-
ity and gentlemanly conduct, which
it is asserted some did last night.

Taking their cue from the cane
rushes, the class rushes, the class
quarrels and general rivalry of class
es in colleges and seminaries, the
students of the four classes of the
high school last night, contracted in
to the space of few hours as much
schoolboy deviltry as the mind of ev-
en- the collegian could devise.
The occasion was the banquet CIV
en- by the members of the junior
class to the senior members at Mar
gerry hall. For several weeks, SO it
is stated, there has been a well de-
fined plan upon the part of the fresh
men and sophomore students to pre-
vent for short time the male stu
dents of the other classes from es-
corting to the banquetting hall their
ladies fair. With this purpose in
mind, and the other class members
being fully apprised of what was in
store. the clash came last night.

THOUSANDS MAY HAVE

lBy Associated Press, -,

Boston. Mass. Feo. 15.-Informa-
ton received here by interests prom
inently connected with the cotton
manufacturing industry indicates
that the depression in their line has
not been dissipated and that many
manufacturers still are having diff

In view of these conditions. those
identified with cotton manufactures
now admit that the curtailment OF
25 per cent of the working time, de-
cided upon about three months ago.
did not entirely relieve the situa-
ton. and they say that general
reduction in wages of the operatives
seems inevitable.
1t is claimed that there has been

cloth have been declining.

GREAT AND URGENT NEED.

The great and urgent need is not
so much a larger number of church
members: but better type of church
members. We need those of active,
vital piety; those who are honest In
their business dealings with their fel-
lows. A religion that does not en-
ter into ones dealings in every day
life is decidedly out of place in a
church and Is worthless in any
world.
"Our church is an expression
very frequently heard, but it is not
scriptural and is very sure to ere
ate in the mind of the worshipper @
wrong impression. There is no such
church as "our church" and it Is not
biblical and any biblicist should
know that 1t is not.
