And how love begins to reign
Since this great and glorious country
Began to fight with Spain;

And then the Puerto Ricans
And now we'll show the Filipino

Wen show 'em just what freedom means,
And how Christ's precepts run,
And ill 'em full OF the Love of God
With a Krag Jorgensen gun.
Shoot 'em, and STAB 'eni, and kill 'em,
In the name of the Lord Most High
Roast EN- III their bamboo huts
While the stars and stripes float nigh.
For we've noble mission
TO teach Christ crucified;
A thing the old barbarians,
Couldn't have taught if they tried,
For they didn't know our Jesus.
And the loving truths He taught.
Ard how, having bought the Filpinos,
The cusses have got to stay bought.
Got to stay bought if we kill 'em,
"Rebels," they are, you know;
And we'll shoot 'em, and stab 'em and roast

In the orient's pulsing glow;
If they don't bow down to our standard,
And do Just exact as we say,
Well kill 'em of by the thousand,
For that is the Christian way.

And oh, our religion is right,
And, oh, we'll show the Filipinos
The sweetness and beauty of might;
For, oh. the Gospel is spreading.
And loves beginning to reign;
Well whip 'em in line. these heather:
We've got 'em in Gods domain

PEARL HART .coNvleIEp.
She Is First Acquitted, but Found Guilty
 on Second Trial.

The stage robbery at Cane Springs, in which woman appeared as princi- par, was the sensation of the year, and the newspapers and periodicals have published column after colutnn of nauseating details until the people are heartily sick of the matter.
 The woman in the ease, Pearl Hart, is a notorious prostitute and morphine fiend, well-known in Phoenix, her com panion half-witted Frenchmaf known as Joe Boot.SA Pinal county grand jury indicted them jointly, bringing in two true bills, one for robbing Oscar J :. Neill of $390 and the other for robbing the stage driver, Henry Bacon, of q six-shooter.
 The trial of Pearl Hart, came up last Monday in our District Court on the first charge. Morrison & Griffin had been appointed by the Court todefena, and they performed their duty. ably and successfully, the jury bringing in a yerdictsof not guilty.
 Judge Morrison's appeal to the iery was especially touching and effected the jurors as welt as those in tlseesart- room.
 Joe Boot having already plead guilty, was brough on is the principal witness for the defense. and his testlmoAy that he had compelled Pearl Hart to take part in the robbery douetlessi had its effect.
 In the Tsecond trial, however, the sympathy dodge didn't seem to work, and although the same testimony was offered, the jury broughtin q verdict of guilty after being out thirty minutes.
 The prisoners were yesterday after noon brought before the Court for sentence and Judge Dean gave the Arizona female bandit five years in the terrisoriai penitentiary aud her part ner in the crime thirty years.

From the Nogales oa.is.l

tfrOm the NOgales Odsls.l
 S9i course everyone in Nogales-and for that matter in all Arizona-is anx- iiously awaiting news from Washing ton, where on Thursday the secretary saf the treasury was expected to act upon the findings in the second inves- tigation of Collector Chenoweth's 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 the fnvesti- gation, was filed with Secretary Gage some three weeks ago. There is no. violation of confidence in stating that the Investigating commission reported that the original charge against the collector, upon which he was dismissed -tampering with the civil service ex- aminations-was fully proved. Ia ad- dition to that the investigators dug up seven other charges against Mir. Cheno- weth and submitted strong proofs in substantition of each. They recom- mepded that the removal from office of MT. Chenoweth, made by the president upon July 9th, stand approved.
 But two eminent attorneys repre- senting Mir. Chenoweth appeared be- fore the secretary and asked to be per mitted to make an argument in his be- half. Tbe request was granted and Thursday of the present week-the 9th inst.--was the date set for the argu- ment. It was expected that the seere- tary would deliver his final decision upon that day or yesterday. As yet DO word has been received from Washing ton as to the result. As soon ss Secre. tary Gage's decision is received ths Oasis will be notified of the result an6 the information will be made public.

Output of the KIondike.

No one will ever know exactly how much gold was taken from the Klon- dike fields the past season. Since the English government imposed royalty, the miners have adopted all sorts of ruscs to evade the law. It is rather difficult to dodge taxes, but it is more difficult to dodge bad cold and the grip at this time of year. When the system is weakened by such attacks, and the blood becomes thin and i'm. poverished, the best medicine to take is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This remedy builds up the system. Beside: regulating digestion, it overcome' constipation. It is g pod for the kid news and liver, too, stimulating these organs into the proper performance O their functions.
