AUSTIN, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch from
Tampico, Mexico, says that the steep
mountain grade on the Tampico branch OF
the Mexican Central Railroad below Car
denas was the scene of another terrible
accident, in which five men lost their
dives.
The big freight engine jumped the track
while going down the grade, and the long
train of cars followed it over the preci-
pice. The American engineer and con-
ductor, two Mexican wood passers and a
brakeman are reported killed.

MAY Be SMASHED
Patchen and Gentry May
Lower the Record.
TRACK IN SUPERB SHAPE
Frank James Thinks the Time
Will be Near POP.

Today 10 Patchen and John R. Gentry
go IN Wichita TO beat the worlds record
of 2:O115. 1t may be the greatest race the
world has ever seen. 1t will be the great
est Wichita has ever seen.
These horses are the kings of their kind.
They are finer than Bedouin ever bestrode,
finer than ever whirIed chariot before
the admiring eye OF Roman emperor,
finer than ever bore knight to combat
or king to conquest. From the tabled
Pegasus to the lowly Rozinante these, ia
horsedom, stand alone paragons.
The city was rapidly filling up last even
ing, every train was disgorgfng, and the
crowd today will come up to expectations.
Three things point propitously to a
memorable race.
First. The track is in excellent con-
Htton. 1t is a fast track. 1t was fast yes
terday and barring rain will be fast to-
day. 1t is a mile track, in superb con-
dltion. The eighths. quarters, the half,
80. yards and 100 yards Cthe flag are de-
signated and can be seen plainly from the
grandstand.
Second. The horses are in excellent con-
dition. This is their last race this sea-
SON. This is the last opportunity to cut
off the precious seconds which double a
horses value, and in this case pass a
horse into history as the greatest of his
age. Star Pointers record is 1853 81
That was not in harness race. But some
day that time will be beaten in a race.
1t may be today.
Third. There will be no fake. Both the
gentlemanly drivers assert that the hors-
es are going in earnest; they are going,
not to amuse the crowd, nor to win a
sum that to their rich owners is an in
significant amount, but are going to get
q new record.
Frank James said last night that the
time would not possibly be below 2:03,
and he thought 1t would be nearer zoo
the fine condition of the track, put the
time below that. Mr.. Jordan said last
evening that there was no chance in his
opinion of the time being less than 2:O4.
Last evening in the pools betting was
going slightly Patchen's way.
Yesterday at the track the two beaud-
full animals were brought out and I'M
blanketed before the grand stand. The
black satin coat Of the noble Patchen
glistened in the sun, and he seemed lofti-
ly Indifferent to the applause which greet
ed him. This is a characteristic also no
ticeable in his stall. He pays little at
tentton to visitors and does not concern
himself with affairs that have become
usual and commonplace.
The little, slender John R. Gentry rolled
the white of an eye when his blanket
was taken off, and turned an anxious
look on the crowd He lacks the aristo-
cratic high headedness of Patchen. He
has a lively interest in the things which
are going on about him. He is a hand
some little fellow, and much like the 9TH

securing an automobile was not an easy
matter. Manufacturers cannot keep. up

not likely that Mr.. Parks viii secure his

WELL meaning friends nave cautioned the editor of TIE OASIS about the trouble now going on over public affairs in Nogales. But the editor feels about 1t as he always felt when he went under fire when a soldier. As he marched forward in the line he knew his life was in danger, and that he might not live the day out. But that knowledge never swerved him from duty. Nor will he be swerved by fear of death from his duty now. They can do their worst.

Is IT RIGHT
For Editor to Recommend Patent
 Medicines

From sylvan Valley News, Brevard N. 0.
 It may be question whether the editor of newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as preventive of suffering we feel it duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedies, We have known and used this medi- clne in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while q physician is awaited We do not be- leye in depending implicitly on any medicine for cure, but we do believe that if bottle of Cbamberlain's Darrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by l.. ". Mix X Co, Druggists.

THE general verdict is that the board of supervisors can evade the the allegation of fraud and rascal ity in the jail cells contract only by pleading incompetency. It is of no importance to THE OASIS which horn of the dilemma they grasp.

SUNDAY, so it is stated, a num- Der of the "push" ran to Governor Murphy with their grievances, and were fatty told that he Twas here on pirate business, didn't want to mix in Santa Cruz matters, and if they bothered him he would ask congress to annul the act creating the county"

IN THE bids for books Paul Heermans offered to supply Santa Cruz county seventy-one books for less than five hundred dollars McNeil & Co. supplied thirty-one of those books and charged about seven hundred and fifty dollars. That was saving taxpayers money with a vengeance.
The oasis., 1899-07-08

THE defence now made by the push is that the jail cells con- tracted would have been far supe- rior to any other kind, and would justify the difference in cost. MT. Jos. Taylor, who is an expert, says there are none anywhere superior to those he put into the Cochise county jail fifteen years ago for less than eighteen hundred dollars for five cells while Santa Cruz county contracted to pay thirty-fve hundred and forty-five dollars for four cells.

BOTH Theodore Gebler and Jos. Taylor, we'll known and responsi- ble citizens of Nogales, were pre- pared to put in bids for the jail cells, and they were surprised to see the contract let without adver- tisement, as required by law. MT. Taylor says that for less than one half the money he could have put in jail cells just as good as those contracted.

"BY exposure of the jail cells business and heading off the tran saction the district attorney and THE OASIS have saved the tax payers of Santa Cruz county two thousand dollars, /" remarked well known citizen yesterday. "The fight was well worth making" was his further assertion.

Last week prominent and well known citizen of Santa Cruz county said of the criticisms of this paper upon the jail cells transaction: "If the charges are untrue the editor should be severely punished; if they are true he should be upheld and commended, and he cannot print them too much nor too frequently Aud he said it to 2 superviso

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MORALES, ARIZONA.

BEFORE they are done with it several officials of Santa Cruz county will curse those who thrust them into positions they are incom- petent to fill, where they have made "holy shows" of themselves.

THE push" have made a des- perate effort to make it seem that THE OASIS stands alone in its stand upon public matters in Nogales and Santa Cruz county, and they have made some good people believe it. But when several reputable citizens, speaking independently of one another, last week, plainly asserted they believe THE OASIS in the right, it opened the eyes of some people.

IT IS generally stated that the books tor which Santa Cruz county is asked prices so high were order ed by the clerk of the board of SUD- ervisors. As MT. Cummings is noted by his penuriousness the in- quiry is very natural how has he become so free handed in expending county money? It is standing joke in Nogales that the gentleman has twice suffered a broken leg in an effort to save a dollar or two once in painting a porch, and the second time in building a wall. Now in the book business he had a chance to save the county several hundred dollars. Why did not be make the effortf Was he afraid he wGuld hreas his neck

The Vidette knows, Collector
 Chenoweth knows also, that THH
 OASIS editor is not the cor
 respondent of the San Francisco
 Call They know that he is the correspondent of the San Francisco Examiner. They know also that the rule of all metropolitan journals is that their special correspondents shall correspond with no other journal published in the same city. They likewise know who is the Nogales correspondent of the Call. They know that the gentleman avows himself as such correspon- dent. Collector Chenoweth also knows who dug up the evidence of crookedness and fraud perpetrated in his office, and with that evidence preferred charges at Washington against the collector and has made the charges stick. He also knows that the gentleman who dug up the very damaging evidence is neither the correspondent of the Call nor the editor of THE OASIS. He also knows that charges of fraud in the civil service examina- ton for United States assayer at Nogales were preferred at Wash ington by still another gentleman, who was not aware of the work being done along other lines. And he knows that this last gentleman named was neither the correspon- dent of the Call nor the editor of THE OASIS. He knows that when the agent for the civil service con- mission, MT. Higgins, visited Nogales, he took also the testi- mony of the gentleman who had preferred the charge of fraud in the examination for assayer. Conse- quently when the Vidette-Mr. Chenoweth's organ-charges the Call correspondence upon the editor of TEE OASIS, and when they as- sert that the charges of frauds lodged against the administration of the custom house at Nogales, emanate from THE OASIS, they are simply trying to conceal the real facts in the case. Everything which has been printed in the Call or in THE OASIS is true. Generally the facts set forth were known to the Call correspondent before they were to the editor of THR OASIS. For reasons of his own the editor did not send them to the Examiner. In their effort to make 1t seem that the grave charges proved against Collector Chenoweth's administra- ton emanated from the editor of THE OASIS and are false, that off, cial and his organ are simply per forming the cutie fish act.
