Rev. F. L. Nash OF Carson, writing
to the 0ccident OF San Francisco, re-
Gently said Nevada is now little
one among.the thousands Of Israel, but
when the question OF irrigation is set
tied this condition OF things will be
reversed. With the finest and most
healthiul climate in the world, boast
ing more sunny days than any State
in the Union, with scenery as grand
and magnificent as any on the conti-

as the gold and silver which aoounds
in our mountains, with opportunities
for usefulness which an angel in heav-
en- might covet, Nevada has a future
OF which she shall some day be
proud"

The Candidate.

When the sap begins to rise and the
geese begin to mate, we hear the gen.
tie carol OF the festive candidate. Oh,
he's jolly fellow and full of vain con-
ceits, and sees bosom friend in every
man he meets. He asks about your
family, horses and your hogs, and
shows friendly interest in the chill
dren and the dogs. Oh, he's a jovial
gentleman, as gamesome as a lamb,
as blithesome as a meadow lark and
happy as clam. His prospects are
the brightest and his chances are sure,
and he spends his money freely and
helps the needy poor. He goes to
church on Sunday and his pious traits
appear, but when it is necessary he
will set up the lager beer. Oh, he's a
buoyant, sanguine duck, the jocund
candidate, he starts out in the morn.
ing and stays until it's late, his patient
wife unlocks the door and with look
of pain she says: "You needn't lie
to me, your legs been pulled again.

 As appears elsewhere i'll this of THE OASIS, Colonel w. Fl. Harlow and Miss Emeline Kayser of Den yer, were united in holy matrimony at Phoenix on Christmas day. Be- yond few telegrams conveying an announcement of the event sent out on the day it occurred his partner re- ceived no word from the gentleman whatever. Several important tele- grams remained unanswered, and, finally losing patience, MT Gowan yesterday wired as follows:

 MT. Gowan came immediately to THE OASIS and asked to see the office bible. He was told that the office possesses neither dictionary nor bible, but if he desired any thing from anywhere between the lids of either he had only to make his want known and 1t should be satisfied instanter. So he produced the telegram, asked its meaning, and and was told that the verse of scrip ture instanced reads:
 "When a man hath taken a new "wife he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with "any business; but he shall be free "at home one year and shall cheer "up his wife which he hath taken. !"

In the meantime what am l going to do with all this great volume of business, both legal and otherwise, which is accumulating in the office?

Better Condition Due to Peace NegO-

peace negotiations and the better outlook

Six Men Use Dynamite to Open the
Richland, Mich, Union Bank.
RICHLAND, Mich, Aug. 5.-One Of
the most daring and successful bank
robberies ever executed in Michigan
was carried out by six robbers last
night. Some Of them came East on a
f;ssAdcar, and evidently had confed-
crates with horse and carriage. They
secured $1,000 in cash from the Union
bank and $4,000 in notes. The horse
and carriage were taken into Augusta
and left there.
There were three explosions, which
awakened many people. David Barnes,
an old man who lived near the bank.
was ordered into the house with a.
threat that they would shoot him. The
safe was a complete wreck, nitro-gly-
cer1ne being used to open it, The in
side doors were blown ten feet out into
the office and pieces went through the
plate glass front twenty feet distant.
The chisels and other tools were left
here. The handcar was disabled so it
could not be used to pursue the rob-
bers.
Officers here have just been Informed
that a man was seen between Augusta
and Battle Creek, walking on the rail-
road track, carrying large satchel and
a Winchester rifle. Officers will leave
here and Augusta at once after him.
According to witnesses the gang was
composed Of six men who came to town
on a hand car. Four were placed on
guard outside the bank, which is a
small wooden building. Three charges
Of dynamite were exploded before tie
robbers got the money and escaped.
The bank is owned by N. s. Whitney
and P. H. Gilkey. They say the loss
is between $4,000 and $1,000, mostly
