A Startling Photograph.

A young married couple in Belfast,
Me, received a startling shock recent
ly. They carried their baby to a pho
tographer for a picture. In due time
the proof came around, but the par
ents at first failed to recognize it. The
baby's features were there IL right
and so were the pretty dress and all
the other accessories, but the child
had apparently grown a full beard
while before the camera. The artist
had used by mistake a plate on which
an imperfect picture of an old man
had been taken and the two exposures
conceded so well that he saved the
plate as a curiosity.

We have begun work for the
year 1899. Every citizen q esires
to see our city advance more
rapidly than at any in its his
tory. We desire to- see Monroe
City a much better town on Jan
uary /, 1900. than she was Jan
nary /, 1899. I'lris being So we
must do something to make it
a better town. We cannot sit
around and expect everything
to come to us, but we must get
out and hustle. Just now we
need more labor employing in
StitutionS. We can and should
get them. W. K. p. jackson,
the popular cashier of the Farm
ers &, Merchants Bank has a
patent on a hay loader and
makes an offer which should Sc
cure for our city hay loader
factory. Then there is no rea
son why all our agricultural
implements should be manufac.
tured' in Illinois or more dis
liant States. They can protita-
blv be manufactured in our city,.
We must do something for our

This we do not have under the
gold standard. Even though
demouetizcd, silver, when com

have steadily declined with sill

times when some products and
silver have parted company for
a time, but that was caused by
supply and demand.

The Spaniards, as Il nation,

pie, when the truth is. all
wealth is rapidly passing from
the hands of the masses into the

Damaging Falsehoods.

Colonel Juan Fenochio. command ant of the Third Zone of la Gendar- meria Fiscal. who is well posted up- on the policy toward the Yaquis ad- apted by Gen. Berriozabal, the Mexi- can minister of war, with whom have joined Messrs. P. Sandoval & Co. and other gentlemen prominent in busi- ness and official circles in Sonora, has requested THE OASIS to present to the public denial of the sensational re- ports about the Yaqui war which are being sent out to the press of the United States, from various quarters.
 The principal offender in this par ticular is correspondent at Casas Grandes, in the state of Chihuahua, who daily sends to the Chicago Trib- une columns of stuff which is all pure- ly figments of brilliant imagination. When it is stated that 1t is over four hundred miles by the routes usually travelled, across almost impossible mountains, between the scene of the Yaqui trouble and Casas Grandes, while it is only little over three hundred miles between Nogales and the seat of war, and two hundred miles of that distance is by rail. it will be understood that correct in- formation would travel faster by the Nogales route than by that to Casas Grandes. The Chicago Tribune and press of the country are being imposed upon by fakir at Casas Grandes who is padding out his space to make big string" when the monthly pay day comes around.
 Colonel Fenochio authorizes THE OASIS to state that the theatre of war is confined to small area in d remote corner of the state of Sonora; that the YaQuis are concentrating their forces, the Mexican government is moving large number of troops, well armed and supplied with munitions of war to completely surround them  and finish them where they are making a stand. Troops are being posted in strong force at all the out lets from the region, and when the general break up occurs, none of the belligerent Yaquis will get out of the region which is che scene of the trou- ble. In comparison with the rest of the state that region is mere baga- telle, including not to exceed one hun dred and fifty square miles, while the area of the state exceeds two hundred thousand square miles. Outside of the limited area noted travelling for business or pleasure is as safe in the state of Sonora as ever.
