AS will be seer from the above tax
levy the total tax for County pur-
poses this year is 81. Is per 500 valu-
alton. This is a reduction of eight
cents from the levy of last year.
Last year the Board made a reduc-
ton of $25 cents on the 500 valua-
ton, making a reduction of 33 cents
in the two years. In addition, last
year the Board should have made a
levy of four cents on the 500 valua-
ton for school purposes by decision
of the Supreme Court, but instead of
making the levy, paid the money out
of the General Fund of the County,
amounting to about $1100.
A year ago the balance in the Gen.
eral, Current and Salary Funds was
about $4,000. AS will be seen by the
Budget, it is $40, 700 this year. Last
year the Board expended about $4,000
on improvements on the Court House
and County Hospital, and as there
was not much criminal business, the
above surplus was accumulated.
The expense for 1912 was about
1872, 900, for 1918 about $50, 900. while
in 1910 the expenses amounted to
about $37, 900 for the General, Cur
rent and Salary Funds.
This last amount was the basis on
which the estimated expense was fig
ured for this year. If the County is
as fortunate this year as in the past
two years, the Board contemplates a
further reduction of the tax rate on
the first Monday of October, after
the adjournment of the Board of
Equalization.
As will be seen by the Budget, the
Road and School Funds are also in
excellent financial condition.
During the discussion by the Board
of the tax levy for the year it was also
shown that the valuation of prop
erty in the County had increased
some $3.50. 900 during the past year.
The SENTINEL believes that this
makes an excellent showing for Eu-
reka County, as the property valua-
ton IL to IA years ago was only about
81, 500. 900.

DR.. BURHETT'S DEATH
RESULT OF ACCIDENT
Succumed to Stroke of Paralysis Caused
by Injury to Head and Spine

by Injury to Head and Spine
The SENTINEL was in error last
week in stating that DR.. w. F. Bur-
nett sudden death at Ell Paso, Tex
as. was caused from an acute attack
of diabetes.
From a letter received by Mrs. H..
M. Schneider of Eureka on Thurs
day of this week from Mrs. w. F.
Burnett, dated at Bowie, Arizona,
February %, it is learned that the
Doctor met with an accident the pre-
vious day which ultimately caused
his death. The following particulars
of the accident are taken from Mrs.
Burnett's letter:
The Doctor was assisting a young
man in Bowie, where we are stop
ping, unload some hay. In lifting a
bale the wire broke, causing the Doc
tor to be thrown to the ground,
striking on his head. A physician
was summoned from Wilcox, and his
diagnosis of the case was serious in
jury to the spinal column, with prob
ably a clot of blood on the brain, as
the Doctor was paralyzed from the
chest down. and was not able to
move and had no feelingi in that part
of the body. He suffered terribly
the first night after the accident, but
rested pretty well last night. He is
in his right mind, and his sight is
good. | leave this morning with him
for Ell Paso, Texas, to place him in
Hotel Dew Hospital, where they have
an X-ray and can do all that can be
done.
The letter with the above inform
alton was delayed in reaching Eu-
reka, having been missent to Eu-
reka, California.
Since the telegram announcing DIR.
Burnett's death, no other news or
further particulars have been re-
ceived.

when attending upon the regular
monthly meeting. and when meeting
as a Board of Equalization and Board
of Canvassers. and when meeting to
consider cases of extradition, as pro-
vided by law, and they shall meet
regularly on the first Monday of each
month for the transaction of all busi-
ness that may come before Them"
The Supreme Court in constituting
a similar statute in the s. of the
State VS.. Trousdale, 16 New, 359,
said, ''The provision allowing mileage
in the former law was intended
as part of the compensation of Com
m~issioners for their services"
Then the above Act fixing salary,
and mileage in certain cases, in full
compensation for services" clearly
excludes mileage in other cases not
mentioned therein.
am aware of authorities to the
effect that officers are entitled to re-
ceive payment for expenses which
they are compelled to make in the
performance of the duties imposed
upon them by law. But supervising
and inspecting roads and bridges is
not aduty imposed upon the Commits
sioners by law, but on the contrary
it is made their duty by law to ap-
point some one else to perform this
work.
am of the opinion, therefore, that
expenses incurred by the Commits
sioners. or a Commissioner, in super
vising and inspecting roads and
bridges would not constitute a legal
claim against the County.

SHEEP DISEASE BBEAKs OUT
Foot and Mouth Disease Has So
Far Only Attacked the Buck
Sheep

w. H. Bell and D. d. Ogilvie, State
Sheep Inspectors, were sent to Eu-
reka by the Nevada Sheep Commits
sion to quarantine and assist the
sheep men of this section in eradicat-
ing a disease among sheep known as
necrobacillosis, an liberation of the
lips and legs, and generally consid-
cred to be an infectious disease. 1t
is also called the foot and mouth dis
ease. The Inspectors arrived here
on February IL and have since been
giving this matter their whole atten-
ton.
The disease first made its appear
ance in this section about a year ago,
when a few cases were noticed. 1t
progressed slowly and little attention
was apparently given the matter I'M
til this Winter when it commenced to
spread rapidly among the buck sheep.
Mr.. Bell was called in by the Sheep
Commission to make a trip into the
western part of the State and came
into Eureka yesterday. He left by
this mornings train, but expects to
return here in about ten days. It
was learned from him that of all the
sheep SO far inspected, only bucks
have been found to be suffering
from this disease. He said the dis
ease had not been reported from any
other section of Nevada, and that
the present infected district extended
from Eureka on the north to Bull
Creek, Nye County, on the south, a
distance of about 60 miles. All the
different bands Of bucks between
these points, with the exception of
one band in the Pancake range.
White Pine County. have been In
spected, and the disease was found
to be prevalent in all the bands.
These infected bucks have all been
gathered and divided into three
bands, and are under a strict quar-
antine. The infected animals are
under treatment, and where it has
been possible to give them proper
care, marked improvement is re-
ported.
The infected bands will be kept
under quarantine until May l, when
they will be inspected by inspectors
of the Nevada Sheep Commission.
Any of the animals found diseased at
that time will be killed.
The treatment that seems to have
met with the most success is a five
parts sheep dip, ten parts sublime sui
phur, and 85 parts mutton tallow.
vaseline or lard.
Another good treatment is said to
be nitric acid-one to seven parts
used with a swab, just touching the
ulcers, and dressed daily with a one
per cent sheep dip.
Another treatment is made up of
a five per cent solution of sheep dip
and boracic acid.
Sheep men are said to be consider
ably worried as to whether the CON-
ing crop of lambs will take the dis
ease when they are locked and al
marked. While this disease has not
been considered contagious in Wyom-
ing and Colorado, where it has been
known since 1902. some of the bucks
in this section that have not come in
contact with infected animals have
broken out with the disease, and it
is feared the exposed surfaces left
after docking and "a marking the
lambs will invite an easy entrance
for the germs of the disease.
Mr.. Bell estimates there are now
between $50, 600 and 300, 900 head of
sheep within the infected district.

Joplin, No, Aug 6.-Thirty-eight per-
sons were killed and many hurt on
Wednesday when a motor car on the
Missouri & North Arkansas and a pas
senger train on the Kansas City
Southern collided head-on near here.
The cars were splintered and caught
fire. Many charred bodies we're
brought to Joplin The Missouri &
North Arkansas uses the Kansas City
Southern tracks from Joplin to Neosho.
The cars met on a curve. The motor
car, which was going about thirty-fve
miles an hour, was telescoped and
took fire. Thirty-fve charred bodies
were brought to Joplin on a relief
train. The injured have been placed
in Joplin hospitals. The motor car is
said to have overrun her orders to
meet the passenger train at Upton

places Belgium on the side of the tri-
pie entente.
Little Holland, with an army of
100000, is likely to be drawn into the
war as an ally Of England because of
the invasion of her territory by Ger
many.
Sweden has made no answer to in
Quiries from Russia and Germany re-
garding her attitude, but is preparing
to defend her neutrality.
Japan May Assist England.
Japan is making ready to live up to
her alliance with Great Britain in the
event of an attack by Germany upon
the British possessions in the far east.
The vital Importance of Belgium in
this war lies in the fact that unless
Germany may move across Belgian
territory, neutralized by treaty, an in
vasion of France would have to be
through the heavily fortified French
frontier proper.
The entire northeastern frontier of
France is, roughly, 440 miles in length.
For distance of about $50 miles this
frontier line separates France from
Belgium and Luxembourg. The remain
der, about 100 miles, separates France
from German territory.

Jane Arson. Her maiden name was
Ellen Louise Arson. She was edu-
Gated by her parents and was grad
uated from Shorter college in Rome,
Ga. Her father was the pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Rome.
Married in Birthplace.
In 1885 Thomas Woodrow Wilson,
then a young lawyer, and long a
friend Of the Axsons, went to New
York and took Miss Arson back
South with him They were married
in the parsonage of the Independent
Presbyterian church at Savannah,
where Mrs. Wilson was born
Mrs. Wilson discharged the duties
Of the household without assistance
for more than five years, and even
while mistress of the White House
she took a keen interest in the man
agement Of it's affairs.
Mrs. Wilson was never socially in
clined. The Wilson's always have
lived simply, without flourish. Mrs.
Wilson insisted after she became the
first lady in the land that it was
possible for her to dress in keeping
with the high position which she held
on $1,000 a year. She always de-
signed her own dresses and those Of
her three daughters.
During all of her married life Mrs.
Wilson found time to continue at
her painting. Her canvasses are in
the Art institute, Chicago, in New
York, Philadelphia and Indianapolis.
But while always attracted toward
art, philanthropy was her hobby.
Shortly after going to Washington
Mrs. Wilson began a study of condi-
lions in the poorer districts. Slum-
ming parties were conducted and it
was not long before a change for the
better became evident.
Perhaps the most striking example
of Mrs. Wilson's. simplicity and dis
like for society and social functions
was the ahandoing of the inaugural
ball and other semi-public affairs
which had been considered part of
the obligations of a presidents wife.
