THE SCHOOL BOND EnEorros.

One week from next Monday. the 18th inst. the election will be held to authorize an issue of bonds for construction of a school house at Nogales. As heretofore explain ed new election is deemed neces- sary to make the denomination Of the bonds conform with the terms of their payment, which was feature overlooked in the call to hold the former election, and the new election is called to straighten out that phase of the issue. The bonds are sold and the money will be delivered in exchange as soon as the election is held and they are engraved and printed as corrected. Yet it is advisable that in the cleo ton the largest possible vote shall be boiled. The idea IS that the people of Nogales school district should show deep interest in this important matter by turning out en masse and setting upon the propo- sition the seal ot their sanction by a large and solid affirmative vote. The polls are centrally and con veniently located at the office of Justice Mix, and so little time will be required to go over and cast a ballot, that none should neglect to do so. It is to be hoped that every qualified voter will turn out and vote for the issue.

THE anti-free transportation law passed by the Texas legislature has gone into effect, and stock shippers and cattlemen find they will have to pay fare when travelling across or in the state with cattle for mar ket.

CHICKENS COMING HOME TO BOOST.

The National Advertiser, pub lished in Philadelphia, a journal of wide circulation, in number of recent date, published the following with regard to certain occurrences in Nogales:
 Sensitive citizens of Nogales, Ariz., offended by some remarks by A. T. Bird, editor of THE OASIS, waylaid him and gave him terri ble humping. Thereafter he went about with a sabre dangling from bis belt. The revolver-carrying com munity was scandalized. and had MT. Bird arrested. He was ac- quilted, and now he writes with his trusty blade naked on his desk. 7
 In the foregoing the people of Nogales can get glimpse Of how their town looks to the outside world. A "revolver-carrying com munity." That sounds nice don't it? And the ''revolver-carrying community was scandalized." That sounds nice, too, does 1t not?
 The men who urged on the dast- ardly and outrageous assault little dreamed that they were putting a blemish upon the fair name of our town. And the two ofhcials-one county, the other federal officer who hastened to go upon the bond of the two bravoes hardly thought that their chickens would come home to roost" in Nogales so quickly.
 Everywhere outside of the range of the influence of the little coterie of corrupt men who instigated that assault and have since abetted 1t, 1t has been denounced in most un- measured terms as vile outrage.
 And right here THE OASIS does not hesitate to say that the people of Nogales are on trial at the bar of public opinion-not only in Ariz- ona, but throughout the United States. All the occurrences which have transported in this town within the past two or three years are be- ing discussed everywhere. It is well known everywhere why a treasury commission is now sitting at Nogales as board of investiga- ton. It is also well known every where that the element being in- vestigated stands up with bold effrontery and declares that its pull at Washington" can and will nullify the results of the investiga- ton. And an effort has been made to make the outside world believe that ali the people of Nogales ap- prove and commend the disgrace ful things under investigation. Can the people of Nogales afford to bear such reputation?

Washington, Aug. 24.-Capt. Shoemaker
Of the revenue cutter service to-day re-
ceived report from Lieut. d. II. Jarvis
the commander of the revenue cutter Bear
containing an account of the rescue of the
gold seekers who rushed into the Kotzebue
gold country, Alaska in the summer of
1898
Lieut.. Jarvis was taking the Bear north
to Cape Barrow on her regular trip AT
Cape Prince of Wales he learned of the
awful destitutlon which had overtaken the
gold seekers at Kotzebue sound. on ar
rival there he found a terrible condition
of affairs. Men had died of starvation
scurvy and by drowning. and he obtained
a list of forty-eight deaths. But the list
is by no means complete. over 1000 of the
gold-seekers had wintered there.
The Bear, after relieving as much of the
distress as possible and leaving stores. lime
juice, etc, for the survivors, took eighty
two of them to ST. Michael where they
were turned over to the military authori-
ties. Lieut.. Jarvis reported that he eft
between 225 and 80 survivors at Kotzebue
sound. He informed the department that
he would probably proceed to Cape Barrow
and upon his return would touch at Kotze-
bue sound, and pick up any who desired to
return with him.
The rush into the Kotzebue country was
caused by false rumors of rich strikes and
misleading advertisements. Two women
and young baby were among those res
cued. Another woman too Ill TO move,
was left In care of a Quaker missionary
and his wife. Among the list of destitute
persons found there by Lieut.. Jarvis is
mentioned G. w. Berry of Virginia.

is the revenue marine officer, who distin-
