THE CONCERT.
A Very Successful Social Event in Aid
 of Church Building Fund.

As announced Tn the columns O. THE OASIS last week, fine concert was given in Athletic Hall, Tues. day evening, in aid of the building fund of St Andrews Episcopal Church, the participants being Mir and Mrs. W E. Deity of Phoenix, a gentleman and lady prominent in social and musical circles in the capital city, and q number of well known Nogales favorites.
 The management was under the control of Mrs. w. K. Budge and Miss Katharine Christ and the ladies, and those assisting and supporting them, are to be con graduated at the complete success of the entertainment from every point of view.
 The hall had been. very beau- tifully arranged and decorated for the occasion. the stage and a space on the floor in front being set as drawing rooms, with luxurious carpets and rugs, elegant furniture and hot house plants and flowers. Beyond this were arranged chairs for the auditors. At the entrance the ladies and gentlemen were shown to their respective dressing rooms, where they laid aside their wraps, appearing in the hall in evening costumes.
 The programme opened with an instrumental selection from Chopin by Mrs. w E. Deity. The lady is a pianiste of rare power, and her rendition of her numbers and accompaniments were gems of in- strumental execution.
 The second number was Blu menthal's "The Message" and was sung by Mir w. E. Deity The gentleman has a fine tenor voice, and rendered the beautiful song with force and feeling.
 Next was the Spring Song" by Edith Dick, rendered exquisitely by Miss Theodore Sprecher, d popular fayorite of Nogales-both in musical and in social way. Miss Sprecher has full alto voice, rarely modulated and finely trained, and her selection was calculated to display to good effect its power and capacity.
 Then followed two piano selec- tions by Mrs. Deity, the first being Schuman-L iszt's "Frulingsnacht", and the other being Chopins "Etude Op. 10, No. F."
 The following number was vocal solo, "Imperfectus," sung by Mir W. R. Reud of Nogales Mr. Reud has fine tenor voice, and his execution was pleasing and heartily applauded.

 Miss Katherine Christ then sang with exquisite effect Tito Mattei's "Non Torno,' and as an encore rem dered "The Tale of Kangaroo" from The Burgomaster."
 Miss Christ Is a decided fayorite in social and musical circles in Nogales, and was enthusiastically received. Her voice Is a fine so- prano, well modulated and care fully trained, and her renditions of the two selections given were of the highest order.

GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach X Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them" says Mir. J. H. Weber, prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa. What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appe- tite or when troubled with consti- patton, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.

Treasurer Smith stated to a News
