The Situation.

Of course everyone in Nogales-and for that matter in all Ariz0na--is an- xiously awaiting news from Washing ton, where on Thursday the secretary of the treasury was expected to act upon the findings in the second inves- tigation of Collector Chenoweths ad- ministration of the Nogales custom house. The reports and findings of the special agents of the treasury de- partment, Messrs. Converse J. Smith of Boston, and J. T. Power of San Francisco, who conducted tine in- vestigation, was filed with Secretary Gage some three weeks ago. There is no violation of confidence in stating that the ngestigating commission re- ported that the original charge against the collector, upon which he was dis missed-tampering with the civil service examinations was fully proved. In addition to that the in- vestigators dug up seven other charges against MT. Chenoweth and submit ted strong proofs in substantion of each. They recommended that the removal from office of Mir. Chenoweth, made by the president upon July 5th, stand approved.
 But two eminent attorneys repre- senting Mir. Chenoweth appeared be- fore the secretary and asked to be permitted to make an argument in his behalf. The request was granted, and Thursday of the present week the 9th inSt.-wds the date set for the argument. It was expected that the secretary would deliver his final deci- sion upon that day or yesterday. As yet no word has been received from Washington as to the result. As soon as Secretary Cages decisions is received TIE OASIS will be notified of the result and the information will be made public

A friend in need is friend indeed. That is exactly what Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is, It is the mothers help when she is suddenly awakened in the night by the ominous husky cough, and labored breathing, of her babe. It is the safe resort of the youth or adult when he has caught cold" and there is coughing and irri- tation of the mucous membrane of the throat. It allays the irritation and cures the cold.

PIMA SoDNTx.

E. Luketich of Hermosillo, has bought the Rul. grocery store In Tuc- sen, and has placed a manager in charge, to conduct the business for him.
 Star: Judge Wm. H. Barnes re- turned from Prescott yesterday, where he has been on legal business. The judge says that Phoenix and Prescott are full of business activity.
 Star: There will be a surprise sprung upon Tucson some of these days in the matter of large motive power system capable of supplying Tucson the power she requires for all purposes at very low cost. This will make Tucson a manufacturing center when the proposed industry is established, which is now a foregone i conclusion.
 Citizen: Word was received in this city today of bad accident at Helve- tia. A Mexican carpenter whose name could not be learned fell down a shaft, fracturing his spine and break ing one leg. Dr. Lennox is disabled by broken shoulder, so other medical aid had to be sent for. The wife of the injured man, who lives in Los An geles, was telegraphed for, as there is serious doubt of his surviving the &C., cident.
 Star: Judge l.. O. Cowan and a party of gentlemen left Magdalena, Sonora, last week for the mines ia which the judge is interested. Several months ago he sold group of gold mines to Bisbee parties and expects further returns on account shortly. The judge, who has resided at King man many years, holdi1g many offices, left Mrs. CowaD and his daughters, Florence and Edith, at their new home, North Court street. He will return to Tucson about December1.
 Citizen: Lizzy Lava and D. D. Cot ta were indicted for adultery by the last grand jury. They gave bonds for their appearance before the trial jury, but when their cases were called they failed to put in an ap- pearance and have not yet been apprehended. United States Attor- ney Robert E. Morrison started suit in the District Court this morning to recover from the bondsmen. Lizzy Lava had given two bonds, one for Sl00 with Pedro Michealina aud Abram Diaz as sureties and another for S250 with Joseph Campini and ! Etienne Tapie as sureties. Mir. Cot ta had given one bond for S200, with Arturo NJ. Elias and Eduardo Soto as sureties The bonds were declared forfeited at the time that the respond. ents failed to appear for trial, put the bondsmen refused to pay them voIun- tarily. The cases are liable to prove i rather expensive for the bondsmen, ! as the costs in the suits for the col lection of the bonds will be assessed 1 against them, and those costs will be about one hundred dollars for each one of the three cases. Four of the bondsmen, Messrs. Elias, Soto, Mi chaelina and Diaz, live in Solomou- vile, while two of them, Messrs. Cam pini aud Tapie, live in this city.

TO DO q remarkable thing, let him get
handful OF lettuce seeds and soak them
over night in alcohol. Then have a
fiowerpot or box not over six inches
deep. n the bottom strew two inches
of vel! mixed loan or Tourists soil.
At the beginning OF the evenings per-
lormance the lad should show the box
of soil and tell them that before the au-
dience leaves he is going to show them
some OF his farming. He then takes
his seeds, and after putting 10 the box
TWO inches more of soil, composed OF
one part OF loan aud one part OF quick
lime, he scatters his lettuce seeds all
over tie top sud then sifrs little more
loam very fine and thinly over the
seeds. Then he waters the whole and
stands it directly in the light. In ten
minutes the seeds burst. in twenty there
are two leaves, and as the end of an
hour, if kept sprink!ed couple OF times,
the lettuce leaves will have attained
the size of quarter of dollar, and
ought 10 be numerous enough to make
the whole top green.

No SALE FOR ROLLER BoAT--The
French roller boat Ernest Bazin was
offered at auction at Liverpool yester-
day, but there were no bids for her.
The Ernest Bazin was launched on
August 10, 1896, at the Call stockyards
at ST. Denis, France, in the presence of
many foreign engineers. She was de-
signed by Ernest Bazin, a wellk
engineer, who died January 81, 1898.
La briel, she is large rectangular iron
box, forty meters long, about twelve
meters wide and about two meters high,
mounted on SIX lenticular disks or roll
lers, ten meters in diameter and sunk
in the wafer about 333 meters. The
lower floor of The box is al an equal
distance from the level of the water.
Ia the sides of the box is the machin-
cry, OF $50 horsepower. This set in
motion d propeller and the rollers, and
the idea was that the Ernest Bazin
would roll over the water instead of
cutting through it and attain speed OF
10 10 80 kilometer5 al hour while cross
ing the channel. 1t was further ex-
pected that g large steamer built on
this model would make the voyage
