AMONG the legal luminaries who have visited Nogales this week in attendance upon the district court was Colonel H. l.. Pickett of Tomb stone, who is likely to be one of the democratic senators from Ari- zona, some time in 1913. Than Colonel Pickett there is no demo- crat in Arizona more fitted to wear the toga with grace and dignity; and if Arizona has to have demo- cratic senators THE OASIS trusts he will be one of them. Colonel Pickett expects to be called to the Senate by an advisory vote of the people of Arizona. He was about the first public man in Arizona to advocate election of United States senators by direct vote of the peo- pie, and in that advocacy he is one of the most sincere.

Opportunities Seldom Offered.

In this remote region of Arizona it is not frequently that one has an opportunity to see and hear so great and famous an Grttste as Sarah Bernhardt, and when such an opportunity is offered it is worth going many miles to em- brace and enjoy. For that reason many from Nogales will go to Tue son Monday next to witness "the Divine Sarah" in one of her great est roles, Camille" which will be presented on that evening at the Tucson Opera House. Madam Bernhardt will be supported by her own company, all of whom are supereminent in their art, and the play will be staged with the most complete settings. It is an Oppor- tunity which will be embraced by all lovers of the dramatic art.

Whealey from Wellington, Kansas, three weeks ago. was discharged from custody Wednesday the grand jury having been discharged with out having taken any action in the case, in fact there having been discovered no evidence incriminat- ing herin the death of MT. Whealey. An attorney from California, MT. Seymour, arrived at Nogales last week to look out for the interest of Mrs. Gillete, and he was about to apply for a writ of habeas corpus when she was released.

fore it is used This will keep it from

Cold water, ammonia and soap will
take out machine grease whore other

A little turpentine dissolved in warm
water is the best thing with which to
wash windows and mirrors A little
alcohol will also do wonders in bright

To remove grass stain cover the stain
with common cooking mo1asses and
let stand for two or three hours. Wash
in lukewarm water Repeat the proc

To clean marble take two parts of
common baking soda and add to it one
part of powdered pumice stone and
one of fine salt Sift the mixture
through a sieve and mix it with water,
then rub it well all over the marble
and the stains viii be removed Wash

The daily care of the hardwood floor
Is very simple. A room that is much
used must first be swept with soft
haired brush. then wiped with a long
handled dust mop or with a cotton
flannel bag put over a broom. If there
nre spots on the floor they should be
rubbed first with flannel cloth or
with little turpentine on a cloth. The
floor should be thoroughly cleaned and
polished twice year If any water
or liquid gets spilled on the floor it
should be wiped up Immediately, as
otherwise it will result In a stain.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
THE FATHER OF THE AMER
ICAN REVOLUTION.

There was one man connected
with the American Revolution
@rSs~~>rr II
tho attention It deserves. His
name is Samuel Adams. He did
more TO bring on the war than
any other man. The thirteen
colonies were widely separated.
There was no concerted action,
and they often worked at cross
purposes. Adams developed
system of correspondence among
them, which resulted In uniting
them In opposition to the tyran-
nies of the mother country. For
twelve years, from 1854 to 1875,
he kept up an unceasing agita-
ton. He literally threw him
self, body and soul, into the
work of arousing the colonies.
He was not a great man per-
haps, but he did a great work
nevertheless. He was not elo-
quent, but he was persistent.
His mission was to put others
to work, and In this he was won
derfully successful. He had
discerning eye for young men
OF ability, and many who became
leaders in the Revolution were
discovered" and set to work
by him. He has been called the
father of the Revolution, and
why not? AS one of his biog-
raphers says, Massachusetts
led the colonies, Boston led
Massachusetts,, and Sam Adams
led Boston" Bernard, the Eng
lish governor of Massachusetts,
colony, used to say: damn
that Adams. Every dip of his
pen stings like horned snake"

Gus on Wool Schedule and
May Talk With Leaders.

On his way home from an extended trip
through the west and south Gov. Wood
row Wilson OF New Jersey arrived here
last night from Columbia, 8. c.. to re-
main until tomorrow afternoon, when he
will go on to Trenton. The governor had
several callers last night, and 1t Is prob
able there will be some important con-
ferences with democratic statesmen.
He commended tho action Of the demo-
cratic caucus on the wool schedule and
said 1t was step in the right direction.
From his observations In the west. he
said, he believed both democrats and re-
publicans held party ties lightly. There
was q trend in both strongly toward pro-
gressivism. he thought, and q demand for
direct legislation as a means Of getting
the government back to the peoples
hands.
OF tho south Gov. Wilson spoke with
enthusiasm, commenting that the only
trouble with tho south Was In keeping
pace with It. owing to It's rapid advance
ment.
