A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

feet wide and trees for hundreds
If yards We're torn to pitcrs.
Eight tons of dynamite We're stored in
IL magazine several hundred yards
way, but being situated on soft ground
he conclusion was not severe enough
TO cause it to explode.
The city was lighted up by great
ii me, then followed terrific explo-
sion. The company's superintendent
stated that he considered the explosion
was caused by tramps. Three tough
lookir men had called at his Office
and wanted quart of uitro-glycerine
or some dynamite, hut were not given
II He thinks these men broke into
the factory to get slycerine aud the ex-
ploslon resulted. They may possibly
rave persisted in it.
THIS makes the third time the com
nauy's works have been blown up. No
one was seriously J jured, although
many houses ntM oy We're shattered.
This morning TIA. police found bot

"The blood of the martyrs i, | seed of the church." and the b, of her heroes is the cement oI republic. The glorious iabr, government now needs onlv a final cementing to round ou !, goodly proportions and to rec,s the deepest affection of all cili,s, of both the North and the South
 What the people need is p, crop of heroes, and the sickle Of t. Almighty seems now reaching q, to gather in the harvest.
 Each year our people turn outs over the land to observe Mem@s Day. There are two such annir saIies; and they celebrate in ~,
  and story the undying glory gaths. ed by two different armies. T'odu there arises the coming shads of the sorrow and sadness ; another great war, in which a country, reunited and moving lc ward with a determination. WI erect a new altar of devotion whrs upon will be presented the iucens of a peoples gratitude to those who knowing no North, no South, n East. no West. died for the hour and glory of their country.

THERE are not many cowboysh the Arizona contingent to a alleged cowboy record; but as q
 old soldier who twas there" {
 1864 THE OASIS man is free to q
 press a belief that they would proe of more real service than the san. number of cowboys. Discipline 7 what makes a soldier, and the cw boy is not so readily amenablet that. If Roosevelt wants to mal a record let him emulate the famol confederate Mosby. "Moslyl guerrillas" were typical cowboys aa rough riders. There was little or D discipline among them; but as ther was never more than forty of then and they all had implicit con6dent in their leader. With forty suci men, under such a leader, MosH made it very warm for the Army q the Potomac and kept on tue ari' ious seat some of the greaisS generals the world ever saw. Th cowboy as a soldier is all righi when handled right; but in reg ment there are too many of iim.

THERE seems to be a most deter mined effort to create an impression that trouble will come from the Mexican side of the line, in the un- settled condition of affairs owing to the war with Spain. THE OASIS opines that there is much more danger from renegade Americans than from Spaniards, Mexicans or Yaquis. The Black Jacks' and men of that ilk are the ones to be guarded against.
The oasis., 1898-05-07

THE "On to Richmond" enthu- siasts of 1861 have now their coun- terparts in class captiously crying against the administration for it's dilatorines in pushing operations against Spain in Cuba and failing to smash things generally. One grievance they ventilate ill the smallness of the force raised to go against the Spanish. They think that call should have been made for anywhere from a half million to q million Of men. They overlook the fact that an army of such size could not be provided with arms, equipments and ammunition on notice so short as that now given. By the time it is demonstrated that more than the present force called is needed Uncle Sam will be pre- pared to make them ready.
