DISCUSS FRANCHISES.
Special Council Committee Look Favorably
Upon the wegner Ordinance.

Upon the Wegner Ordinance.
The special committee of the city
council to whom was referred the
franchise ordinance recently introduced
by j. W. Wegner of Milwaukee, held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and the
ordinance was carefully read and
considered. No changes were made at
the meeting but it was referred to the
city attorney for examination as to its
legal status. 1t will then be considered
more critically by the committee and
report will be ready for the council
at the next regular meeting. The
committee seem to consider the Wegner
franchise the best of any of the large
number now pending before the council
and several Of the aldermen have
expressed themselves as very much in
favor of it's passage, but " full n ny s
the slip" has the prophet well said.
twixt the cup and the lip" and the
Wegner franchise may yet meet the
fate of it's predecessors.
Mr.. W. was in the city yesterday and
said that he was willing to accept any
reasonable amendment that the COM
mittee may make in the ordinance.
President Slush, of the M. r. & z.
company was also in attendance at the
meeting, but the franchise presented
by this company was not discussed.

Pe-ru-na has cured thousands of OBJ
stinate cases of catarrh, and is perhaps
the only efficient remedy in existence
for catarrhal diseases; but there are
countless multitudes of people who are
still struggling with catarrh and need
help. To such as these the unqualified
recommendation of Pe-ru-na by Ex~
Secretary Ohley is directed. Pe-ru-na
is scientific and purely vegetable. AL
druggists sell it.

Wireless Telephones.

For some weeks experiments Of
great interest in wireless telephony
as distinguished from wireless
telegraphy have been carried on
near Carnavon by Sir William
Pierce. -Four high poles have
been erected at the south end of
Menal straits on sand bank across
the Gwyrfal river Half a mile off
four similar poles were erected,
Half a mile still further is n high
pole supporting coil of wire,
with one end anchored in deep
water Between these points Sir
William has succeeded, without
any intermediary other than ether
in transmitting the sound of sue
cession of taps The taps were
made with the view to sending
messages bythe Morse code. They
were distinctly heard at the receiv-
ing station by placing a newly in
vented ethereal telephone to the
ear Messages were sent without
interruption for several days.
Further experiments are coutem-
plated. So far the system yields
much more rapid results thnn

not quite so distinct London

SONORA SETTINGS.
coiIection of Happenings in the State
 over the Line.

Passe Ggers on the trains of the So- nora railway will always find at the depot eating house at Carbo, first class meal, cooked and served in the American style, everythi the market affords-neat, clean, whole some and palatable.
 The teachers whom the government recently sent up to the 1aqui country to establish schools among the child ren there, have been well received and the id9a has taken firm hold among the Indians. The Sonora press speaks highly of the experiment. and prophe- sies success.
 The travelling public will find in the Railroad hotel, at Hermosillo, close to the depot, a tirst-class caravansery, we'll kept, everything neat, clean and desirable. The cooking is American in style, and the rooms all neat and comfortable. The house is supervised by an American woman who under stands her business.
 Barney Cohen writes THE OASIS that last Friday MT. George Chyle died at Hermoslllo. Deceased was well known in Nogales, Guaymas, Hermosilo, Minas Prietas and else where in Sonora and southern Ari- zona. He was long employed at the Casino in Nogales, and afterward at the Hotel Armada in Guaymas. He suffered severe attack of the grip in January from the effects of which he never recovered, and gradually weakened until he passed away His remains were buried at Hermosillo Saturday by the American Association and friends.

Natural Coke at La Barranca.

Information from La Barranca con- veys the intelligence that Prof. Dum- ble's investigation, on behalf of the Southern Pacific Co.,, of the coal fields in that part of Sonora, is daily becom- ing more satisfactory. The force of sixty men employed is divided into a number of parties, working at various places. At one point seven-foot vein of natural coke has been devel- oped, upon which a drift has now penetrated more than sixty feet, and is still continuing in good coke. The coal, in place, had been coked by natural causes long ages ago, and is now right at hand, ready for the uses of man. It was tried in the forges in use at Prof. Dumole's camp and found a splendid article. Should develop ment prove there is enough of it what a great thing for the smelting indus try in Sonora. But doubtless there is coal that can be coked, and coke ovens would be quickly provided. A rail- road from Ortiz will surely be con- structed to La Barranca. MT George Crocker's visit to Sonora this week probably is in connection with the coal development and projected rail- way.
