up the loss of the trade of the regions of the north Missouri and north Mississippi, sustained by their apathy when Chicago was reaching out and taking away the trade of the upper Missouri region.'
 "In New York" said Captain Mix, "I sav great sky scraper. buildings, 24-story structures, cov- ering entire blocks of ground, where palaces had been torn down to make way for the colossal edihces now going up. It is the age ot combination which demands such buildings, and by combinations are they built"
 Bringing the theme closer to home Captain Mix continued: "Nogales could be made to profit greatly if her business men would only unite and work together along definite lines. I will admit that at times there has been some effort; but it has been spasmodic and not long continued. The signs of the times
  are all hopeful, and the natural location of Nogales is such that the town should continue to grow and thrive. There is a great field which Nogales can fill in com mercial and industrial way. One step in that direction has been made in the creation of the new manufacturing company which will have in operation a machine shop and foundry, giving employ ment to quite force of skilled workmen making homes for their families and disbursing their earnings among the stores of the two towns, while their product will go to all parts of Sonora and Southern Arizona, bringing here money that is now sent elsewhere, soon after tbat enterprise is in operation the same company will establish a carriage and wagon factory on the Sonora side of the line at Nogales, which will give steady employment to many work men and afford support for their families. Their product will re- place in Sonora the carriages and wagons now imported from the east, and the money now paid to Eastern manufacturers will be paid to the Nogales manufacturing con- cern tor wagons and carriages made here. These results, now plainly in sight and soon to be realized are certainly sure to follow from combination made by a few of our most prominent business men, who have organized, enlisted capital and will soon have in operation right at our doors permanent and val uable industry. There are many more such opportunities" said the gentleman. "Call the attention of the business men to them in the columns of THE OASIS. Let us all get a hustle upon us and do something for Nogales. :"

CHICAGO CAT THAT
USED THE TELEPHONE

There was a banquet in Chicago not
long ago to which one of the guests,
lawyer had taken his office cat, fe-
line being the emblem Of the organiza-
ton that gave the dinner. The ban
Duet was given in the Great Northern
Hotel. where the cat the lawyer had
taken to the dinner became lost. The
next day the lawyer called up the ho-
tel on the telephone, and asked If they
had his cat yet. He was told that the
bell-boys had hunted all around among
the cats kept as rat-catchers in the
hotel, and that they had finally select
ed four cats, one of which they felt
sure belonged to the lawyer,
well" said the lawyer, Il haven
time to come over and pick my cat out
Just hold those animals one by one up
to the telephone receiver, and pinch
their tails and make them yowl."
One Of the bell-boys dutifully held up
the cats to the telephone, and made
each one of the felines give a good, re-
sounding wall. The lawyer dismissed
each cat until the third cat was put
up to the receiver. 1t gave one yowl,
when the lawyer enthusiastically ex-
claimed:
Yes, all right; that's my cat.
know that voice. Send her over right
away" So the cat was sent over to
the lawyers office and turned out to
be his missing pussy.-Chlcago Tri-

WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENT
OF THE AUTOMOBILE

The application Of mechanical power
to vehicles for common roads had been
attempted early in the nineteenth cen
tury, and at intervals thereafter, and
while such machines as heavy trac-
ton engines using steam power found
: limited application, the question of
weight prevented the employment of
self-propelled vehicles for general pur-
poses. Sporadic attempts were made
at the construction Of motors adapted
for vehicle propulsion, but until the
work Of Daimler, such machines were
but the isolated attempts of their pro-
tectors and not efforts to produce au-
tomobile vehicles for general use.
The first grasp of the fundamental
condition of success lay in the realisa-
ton of the fact that the weight and
size of the motor must be reduced by
running it at a high speed but this idea
was of no practical use until it was fol-
lowed up by the invention of means
for enabling the internal-combustio
motor to be transformed from the slow,
heavy machine of 1882 into the small,
light rapid motor of today.-Paul
Daimler, in the Engineering Magazine
for December.

EASTERN LEAGUE
SESSION OVER
1t Was Decided That Season
Shall Begin May - Sinking
Fund Project Laid Over Until
Next Springs Meeting

New York, Dec 1.-The Eastern
League managers completed their two
days session at the Hotel Victoria to-
night and at the conclusion of the ses-
sion the majority of the minor league
men left the city. At today's meeting
it was decided to begin the season on
Thursday May /. The schedule will
consist of 126 games and the season
will close about Sept. 20.
The umpire question will be left to
the rules committee of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues for decision. But the East
.ern League managers and officials, es-
.pecially President Powers, will advo-
cate giving the master of play in
creased power. President Powers be-
lieves that the umpire should be abso-
lutte while on the field and his decisions
should never be questioned He is
anxious to have a resolution adopted
by. the National Association to this
effect. He thinks that this is the only
possible solution of the "Rowdy bal'
question.
The project of raising a sinking fund
in the Eastern League was laid over
until the annual spring meeting, as
was the matter of division of the gate
receipts on a percentage basis, instead
of there being guarantee among the
clubs.

Selling Prices OF Transports.

u VI
From the Brooklyn Eag.e (Ind, Dem. }
Two government transports, the
Mcpherson and Terry, were sold al
auction I'm Brooklyn ON Monday,
and the difference disclosed between
the buying and selling price. of
these vessels Was remarkable. The
Mcpherson was bought at the begin
ming of the Spanish war for 5000,
900. She was sold for 81 500 IL
probably cost that much To take her
of the rocks, after she had tried Ia
climb overland To the Cuban tobacco
plantations. The Terry, a smaller
ship, but more modern, brought
$500 more. Yachts cost more than
this. The ships are not unservice-
able; their sale was ordered, and they
were sold. The Mcpherson Is known
to some cid travellers a. the ocean
liner OLDHAM, and the Terry Was q
Sound steamer called the Hartford.
Considering, tnen, the market
value of transports, ii is suggested
that the government paid too much
for them. 1t certainly did for mosl
of the boats that were taken into
service. By right Of eminent do
main, which extends over ships In
port, 1t could have taken thes,
vessels at its own price, and could
still have been generous, without
being lavish.

skill of a distinguished physician,
DR.. Huyghe, who has just discover
ed cure as admirable for simplicity
as remarkable for effectiveness.
Dr. Hughes method consists
simply in partially chloroforming
the patient and administering Wig
orotls massage over the entire body,
after which the members most af-
fected are placed in splints, SO that
no movement is possible.
At the end of six days the splints
are removed, and if the slightest
nervous twitching is observable the
treatment is renewed. The method
has never failed. It has restored to
absolute control patients who had
for twenty years despaired Of re-
lief.

ing no risks, as the chlorofOrm Is &C

UNIQUE CLUB ORGANIZED IN VA.
CALLED the SOCIETY FOR the SUPPRESS
SION OF SPURIOUS TITLES.

The Constitution Declared that all Prf-
Yates Must Have Been Killed in the
Civil war-Ths Decision of this Court
is Final.
Suffork, Va, Aug. 8.-One of the
most unique clubs in the country
was organized here tonight. 1t is
called the Society for the Supp'es-
sion of Spurious Titles, and its mem
bers hope it's influence will be far
reaching. Its members and officers
are among the most influential peo-
pie in the city, including the mayor,
former veterans, and prominent
professional and business men.
Here are some extracts from the
constitution adopted:
"Believing that the indiscriminate
bestowal of titles, regardless of the
recipients real claim to the distinc-
ton suggested by the appellation, is
being carried much too far in this
and other communities, this Society
for the Suppression of Spurious
Titles is organized and established
with q view to the elimination of
such titles EXCEPT in cases where the
person 50 addressed can prove a
bona fide right to have Lis name
prefxed by word suggesting dis
tinctiOn.
ave believe, further, that the
miscellaneous application of spurious
title is degrading to those worthy
such honors and cheapens the value
of such distinctions, which should
be bestowed only upon those whose
service, accomplishments, or attain
ments have justified fame's notice
!, "Seemingly all the privates were
killed in the civil war, and there
are left few officers with a lowe
rank than colonel. This society
presumes that all persons should b.
, addressed as plain mister unles
the contrary be shown"
The constitution is much longer
, and further provides how the cour
of inquiry may summon witnesse
! to appear for or against the persol
! whose title is questioned. The dc
. cision of the court is final, and mus
: be so recognized by posterity. Th
club is causing much comment.

JAIL COULD NOT TAKE WHOLE FAMILY.

noys Mother Claimed Board for Than
All.
a special to the Raleigh Post from
greensboro says: Percy Dodson. a
sorry young white man who has
oeen wanted by the county officers
ior some time, has been captured and
Jugged." Six months or more ago
ne got into fight In one of the cot
Ton mill settlements and was bound
over To the June term Of court. His
mother went on his bond, but be-
iore court came on Percy took leg
bail' and departed for regions un-
Known. But az such characters
usually do, he came back. When
THIS fact became known Deputy
sheriff Weatherly went camping on
MS trail. It was ascertained that
the family was preparing to move
TO Durham, the officer learning this
after the railroad tickets had been
purchased and the furniture put on
board the cars. The deputy was
equal to the occasion, and going to
the depot, ne nabbed young Dodson
just as the latter was getting on the
train and carried him off to jail.
The prisoners mother took her sew.
eral children from the train and fol-
lowed along to the jail, where she
asked to be admitted also. She
argued that since her son was the
family's only support, the county
must feed the family IL the grown
son was kept in Jail. AS the "only
support Of his widowed mother" had
been away from home for the past
three or four months the officers did
not see wherein the county was un-
der any obligations to keep the en-
tire family from want and starva-
tion. The widowed mother, how
ever, refused to look at the matter
in this light and carried her chill
dren on into the Jail. She swore
mighty oaths when forcibly elected
from the premises by the jailer and
was highly indignant when it was
suggested that she make application
for admission into the poor house.
She did not mind staying in Jail,
but the poor house-perish the
thought. The fact that able bodied
inmates of the county home are re-
quired to work probably had some
thing to do with the woman's view
of the matter.

THE MEcHANIClAN DYNAM,TED.
SUPPOSED ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A
BRITISH TRANSPORT.

Water was let in But The
Vessel did not sink-wM Garry Mules

New Orleans, La, Aug. TO-
What is regarded as an attempt Of a
Boer Sympathizer to blow up q
British transport occurred shortly
after midnight; when there wa .
terrific explosion at the landing,
where the Harrison steamer MechaL-
ician is moored. The Me ,hanician
is to carry mules to South Africa.
The explosion shook houses, ratified
dishes and awakened people for
some distance around. Most of the
crew were asleep, but the ex-
plosion brought them quickly from
their berths to the deck. An exami-
nation showed large dent on the
starboard side of the ship. Two
places at the waters edge had been
sprung and considerable water was
let into the ship.
Pumps were Immediately put to
work and when daylight came /,
was found that the vessel was in nc
danger of sinking and that the
damage done was not serious. The
crew of the vessel denied that there
was any explosive on board and
there seems little doubt, according
to the statements Of those who ex
amined the ship, that the explosion
was from the outside, and that some
sort of bomb or torpedo had beer
used.
