The Tucson Version.

TUCSON, Ariz., May 22, 1899. To THE EDITOR OF THE OASIS:
 Nogales. Ariz. DEAR SIR Your paper pf the 18th reports that the game between Ben son and Tucson on May 7th, resulted in score of l3 to $ in favor of Benson. This being a mistake, we would like very much to have same corrected in your next issue.
 On May 1th. the team that repre- sented Tucson went to Benson and made the team that represents that place look like pack of school boys. At no stage of the game was Benson in it, in fact, Tucson just played with them as you will see by tue official score which was B to | iu favor of Tucson.
 Tucson is willing and only too ready to meet any team in the territory, having challenged every team in the territory and failing to get games with any of them, we hereby claim the championship of Arizona and stand ready to defend same against all corners.
 Would like very much to hear from the Nogales boys.
 Hoping you will correct this error, we remain yours truly,
 TUCSON F. E. C. Address. Joe Flanagan, Captain, Tucson, Arizona.

Mr Meuager does not have to sell until prices are satis- factory.

The winning football team gazed proud
From out their Pullman heaven:
There were three whole ribs in the crowd
Five noses leaned uneven,
One leg lay in plaster shroud,
And the dents in the skulls were seven,
Their sweaters. mud from neck to belt,
No frat pins did adorn;
But breastpiatcs Of their rivals ecslps
Were very meetly worn.
The muscles meath their blackened eyes
Were swelling like popped corn.
The halfback beamed from out his splints,
And rubbed his battered knee:

ENGLANDs Ans1sTLnsS ADVANCE.
Despite conflicting ramors and mea-
ger reports Of the war In South Africa.
one very significant fact h evident:
The BfitRk forces are surely ashting
their way into the territory Of the free
Skaters and toward the South African
republic. The advance has been slow.
ana every inch stubbornly contested:
nevertheless. the fact remains that the
Beers have been expelled from British
territory. with the exception Of the
army in Natal. between Colenso and
Ladysmith, and uncomfortable scouting
parties along the borders OF Cape Col
ony.
There n every assurance that the
spirited lighting at the Modder river
has effected the relief Of kimberley. al
though the forces Of Methuen are an
vet several miles distant from the town.
Authentic reports state that Gen. Keke-
witch. British commander at Kimberley.
has made a number Of successful
sorties, showing that the besiesing
army has been withdrawn. in part at
least. to meet the advance Of Methuen.
The Boer forces In that part Of the
country are manifestly IN tight place.
It seems to be true that Methuen has
crossed the Modder. and, that being 50.
the Beers are between him and Kske-
witch.
At this moment, the advance Of Cat
acre. who is moving from Queenstown
toward springfontein, becomes Of the
FIRST Importance. Should he meet the
same success as Methuen, the columns
win very likely act In concert against
their enemy. and great battle may be
fought very soon; or Methuen may
push on to Bloemfontein. which for Q
time seemed to be his real objective, In
stead Of Kimberley.
At Mafekins Col. Baden Powell con-
,tinues to maintain successful de-
Tense. and has also made victorious
sorties against his besiegers.
Clery has relieved Estcourt ana ID
operating the railroad between that
place ana Durham. ON the coast. His
Cforcesshave advanced as far as FSere
station. and will probably meet the
Beers at Colenso. where the bridge
4cross the Tusela has been destroyed.
Here probably another great battle viii
be fougnE and the result will decide
Hhs. fate OF Ladysmith. where Gen.
white is holding out against almost
overwhelming numbers.

One OF the most notable controversies
ever fought out in congress win be ovei

state expected. and there 10 movement

Der. Roberts defends himself, but he
has missed the point of the controversy.
The question before the people is not
whether Mr.. Roberts is doing q manly

claims that this can only apply aftei

conditions of the marriage covenant
into which he entered with women whe
trusted him, and at a time when those
who were parties to the covenant be-
lieved that they were not offending
against the moral law and had the
sanction OF local law.
This view Of the matter meets with
the approval OF large number in this
country. They recognize the moral OBJ
legation, but they consider that a man
