the pipe to the top of the bowl. Never

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only. destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Oriqin of Starch.

The art of starching was not intro
duced into England until the ingenu-
ity of Dutch women in starching ruffs,
induced Quo en- Elizabeth to turn to,
them when she took to wearing cam
brio and linen cuffs. In 1864 Mistress
Dinghein Won den Plasse, the refugee
daughter of a Flemish knight. came
with her husband to London, accord
ing to IN old writer, and set up an es-
adjustment for starching. where she
not only piled her trade but instruct.
ed English classes in her art.

Indication that the liver, or bowels,

At such times Nature, the wisest

best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm.
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

New Time Card.

A new time schedule on the So- nora railway will take effect to- morrow, Sunday, October 10th. At this writing copies of the new card have not been received at Nogales, but they will be received no doubt before this appears. It Is stated, however, upon good authority, that there will be no great change Tn the regular passenger trains, which will continue to be day runs, as now; but that there will be estab- lished a mixed train, to which a Pullman sleeping car will be at tached, that will. run between No gales and Guaymas in the night. While the new train will pull freight it will be through cars only, and will do no way work, which will enable it to make passenger train time, or nearly so. It will prove a decided convenience to the travelling public.

Delayed Trains.

Both trains due at Nogales Tues day evening were delayed by mis- haps occurring to other trains, and did not arrive until Wednesday, the train from Guaymas at seven o'clock in the morning while that from Tucson was until afternoon.
 The delay to the Sonora railway train was caused by derailing the tender of a locomotive between Empalme and Guaymas, to remedy which required nearly the entire day, with the train awaiting at Guaymas for the clearing of the track.
 The delay to the Southern Pa cific train was due to freight wreck in the Sonoita cafion, be- tween Calabasas and Patagonia, to clear which required some twelve hours. A passenger riding in the caboose of the wrecked train was slightly hurt. His name is Arthur H. Wallace.

Railway Construction.

Mir. Charles Gates, who came up from the lower Yaqui Mon- day evening, has been at No- gales several days this week, and from the gentleman TIE OASIS cleaned considerable information of the situation regarding railway construction up the river named. When TIE OASIS man was at the end of the track early in August, he met Mir. Gates there at that time. He had come for a pew out it to start rev grading camp, which has been going since a few days later, and is as yet the upper most camp on the grade going to- ward Tonichi. The ca mp is about eight kilometers soushward from Realito. Mir. Gates states that the rails are laid now to within ten kilometers of Cumuripa, and at the time he came away the tracklaying machine was expected daily to lay the rails to the town named and northward to the tunnel, to which point the grade is completed now. When sthe tunnel is completed, which the gentleman estimates will be within two or three weeks, the track can be laid a long distance toward Realito, to which place he thinks trains will be running by the first of January.
