DISCRIMINATING LADIES.
enjoy Using HeFpicide ON Account OF
It's DistinctiVeness.

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of it in the highest
terms, for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp of dandruff and also for it's ex-
eellence as a general hair dressing. 1t
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruff, as it destroys the germ that
causes it. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing It,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. 1t is also an ideal hair dress
Ing, for it lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold
by leading druggists. Send 1Oc in stamps
for sample to The Herpicide Co., De-

w. p, Halls Circus Parade.

The great W. P. Hall show which
will exhibit in Ottumwa Friday, May
IL, feature everything connected with
it, from the street parade to the con-
cert. The press from other cities have
only the most favorable comment for
Halls parade. Even when the show
visits territory where it has never
been, It's magnificent street pageant
so agreeably surprises the public that
they are sure to crowd the immense
tents. It Is in the parade that the
management of circus can show to
good advantage the stability and char
acter Of tho congregation. If it is a
cheap concern, giving only ordinary
perform anc~s, its parade will tell the
tale. If it is really a meritorius con-
Germ the street parade will demon
strate the fact 1.-THE splendid equip
ment of the great w. P. Hall shows"
says the Topeka (Kas.) State Journal,
was shown to excellent advantage in
the big street parade, and 1t was gen
orally complimented The horses were
in fine trim and the tableau wagons,

Our Sam VIII Wed.

Sometime late in July or early Ill August Mir. Sam Leeker of No- gales will be married at St. Louis, Mo, to Miss Ray Flattau of that city The day for the wedding has not been set, but MT. Leeker will leave for St. Louis on July 9th and will probably spend q month there.
 When THE OAsTs reporter drop ped into the El Paso store yester- day Sam was practically drawing up" his plans and that jolly artist, anticipated pleasure, was at the same time drawing happy pictures on Sam's face. When asked the cause of his very apparent happi- ness Mir Leeker pointed to the plans as outlined on the sheet of paper q letter to a friend) before him. 1t contained the information that after the ceremony Mir. and Mrs. Leeker will go to Nashville, Tenn, on visit to relatives of the bride. From Nashville will con- tinue a wedding tour that will oc- casion almost a circuit of the United States, including visits to New York, Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Los An geles and finally home to Nogales, arriving here about Sept. 10.
 Mr. Leeker IS one of the leading merchants of Nogales and will carry an abundance of good wishes with him when he leaves for St. Louis next month.

ever stood against the custom house, and the scrapbook shows that 1t gained it's end, and how.
 Many other matters could be enumerated that are shown by that scrap book. They are all to be found and read in the files of THE OASIS, but that would cause trouble and search. The scrap book shows them all grouped together, giving the issue in each case, and it's final settlement. And it shows that whenever any isue was finally settled it was settled right -and in the way THE OASIS insisted 1t should be settled.
 And twelve years from now TIE OASIS will be yet published in No gales, while it's scrapbook will have extended to several volumes, each complete records of successful eff forts for good government in the Town of Nogales and County of Santa Cruz.

AFTER TWELVE YEARS.

With this issue TIE OASIS enters upon the thirteenth year ot its ex- istence.
 As newspaper 1t continues to maintain it's ascendancy as the 4'best weekly newspaper in Ari- zona," and it will always continue so to do. Because 1t is conducted by people who make of the news paper business calling, who put into the work constant, intelligent and unremitting effort, and take pride in their work. Every effort is made, and successfully, to give the public valued received. No fake telegrams, cribbed from Tucson and Fl Paso dailies, are palmed by TIE OASIS upon long suffering and indnlgent public. No boiler plate is run in it's columns, to be repeated issue after issue until the plates are worn out. No grandilo- auent editorials about the political complexion of Ashantee or the geo. graphical changes in the Dark Continent are rung upon its read- CTS. But they are given facts and figures upon live issues right at home---issues in which they are vitally interested And the facts are given without hesitancy, even though they may not please the reader. The representatives of THE OASIS get out and get the real news transpiring in the region it serves, and present 1t in fresh and attractive form. Never has this journal wilfully deceived the pub lie, and never will 1t do so.
 In THE OASIS office is a scrap book, consisting of clippings, culled from it's columns, that are arrang- ed in chronological order, and by topics. That book is most com plete and accurate history of the County of Santa Cruz. It presents in condensed form the history of the municipality from the time the dormant town government com menced to exercise power for the betterment of the condition of the line city, ten years ago, down to the present day. It presents the issues in all the various municipal elections, the candidates for the offices, and the results attained, with the governing bodies selected each time by the suffrages of the people, And at this day it is gratifying too look over that book and read how the issues contended
The oasis., 1905-05-13


 complete political history of Santa Cruz county from its very incep- ton and organization. It presents accounts of all the various party conventions, the delegates and officers who conducted those con- ventions, the platforms adopted and the tickets nominated. It presents the issues upon which the campaigns were conducted and tabulated statements of the votes by precincts. It presents the grand juries drawn at the various terms of court, and their reports upon county affairs. In that book every issue as 1t was made has been presented, and with the issues are presented the final results. It is the pride of THE OAsIs people that the book shows that in the end what they have advocated has al- ways prevailed. The scrap book shows those facts, and is always open for inspection at THE OASIS office by anyone who has sufficient interest to call and see it.
 That scrap book shows, too, how we'll meaning citizens having at heart the welfare of the Town of Nogales and the County of Santa Cruz, were divided and made enemies for years by grafters and those having personal axes to grind And it shows, also, how they have been gradually coming to an understanding of one another and are now working together for good government and honest ad- 1 mlnlstraJlOn.
 The scrapbook shows also the battle royal maintained through several years for correct and honest administration of the fed eral custom house at Nogales; and lit shows unmistakably the final and complete success of the news paper Through years there was the most better hostility between THE OASIS and the United States custom house at Nogales Today that hostility has long since ceased, and THE OASIS is no longer array- ed in hostility to the local federal administration. Such relations as this journal has with the federal local administration are pleasant; but they are not intimate, and TIE OASIS does not desire them so
 -nor do the officials. There is not an official in the custom house who can be said to have been placed there by the influence of this paper; and it has had no one it has wanted to place there. But the custom house is now run upon correct business principles and the grating which prevailed during the first five years TIE OASIS was published in Nogales has been completely stopped. Custom house officials and favored political friends no longer bring across the Ipa Rruccalc oarpat, anJ othar
