COMMERCIAL. SUCCESS tNfY SPANISH
 AMERICA.

S recently presented the following, which is so completely in line with 1 editorial utterances of THE OASIS in times past that it is given space:
 German commercial travellers are able to sell more goods in South America than those of any other country because they have larger stock of patience and understand the character of the people with whom they deal When an Eng fish or an American drummer strikes town he goes around among the retail dealers, greets them cordially. pays few compli- ments, inquiries after their families and mutual friends and discusses other subjects of similar mutual interest Tor few moments. Then he asks if they want any goods in his line, and unless they happen to be out of some staple for which there is an active demand they re- ply in the negative. He offers to show his samples and invites them to call upon him at the hotel or the club where he makes his head quarters Then he goes on to the next shop, where the scene is repeated, and he may take several limited orders.
 When a German drummer comes to town he wonders into a retail establishment in an indifferent man ner, pokes over the goods, inquiries where they got this and what they paid for that, and if there are no customers to be served, he offers the merchant cigar and sits down for a sociable chat, which usually ends with an invitation to lunch or dine at the club, where he arranges al attractive spread and provides a copious supply of good wines, which is returned by an invitation to dine at the merchants house Not a word is said abont business at either place. It is merely friendly ex- change of hospitality. which per feet knowledge of the Spanish lan- guage enables the German drum mer to make the most of. Not only one merchant, but all the trades men whose business is profitable are cultivated in this way, and they meet the diplomatic drummer in the presence of each other at the club rooms and the residences of each other without the slightest re- straiut. Sooner or later thecuriosity of the merchant compels him to ask ] the drummer business, and is told l that he isselling certain line of goods
 hich are probably of no particular
 interest to him. This stimulates
 uriosity instead of satisfying it,
 md by his own volition, without
 " urging or even an invitation
 rom tue drummer, within few days he is examining the samples and giving large orders for goods. Meantime the drummer maintains an outward indifference, but puts i the merchant under obligations to | him by social attentions and ap- propriate presents to the members of his family. They are friends and cronies rather than salesman and customers, and when the drummer leaves town every merchant of i'm portance will accompany him to the steamer and toast his health and early return with a bottle of champagne.
 In several long journeys in South America I have always noticed that when a Gar4rn., no.,,.,,a.1,in1 trn xralar

WESTON COUNTY MYSTERY.
Sh%eepherder Discovers Remains of a
Woman in a Cave.

The authorities of Weston county
have a deep mystery to solve, accord
ing to a special from Newcastle to the
Denver Republican.
A few days ago a sheepherder, while
driving his flock through a narrow
on Alkali creek, thirty miles
west of Newcastle, discovered the re-
mains of a human being which had
been wrapped in a quilt with a stout
strap buckled around the body to hold
the bones together. The body was that
of a woman and had evidently been Sc
creted with great care, as 1T was in a
sort of ave, against the mouth Of
which a slab-like stone had been set up
on edge, forming a natural tomb.
The s~heepherder pushed the slab
aside and removed the quilt, which
was rotten with age, exposing a bony
hand, upon the fingers of which were
several gold rings.
Many theories are advanced as to
how and when the body was placed in
the cavern. There are no evidences to
show that a murder was committed
and no woman has been known to dis
appear from that section.
The authorities are now investigat-
ing the strange case.

YAQUI INDIANS WHIPPED.
General Torres Anticipates Their
Movement Toward Guaymas.

Chicago, Feb. ga special to the
says:
The Mexican federal troops, under
General Torres, have saved Guaymas
from the Yaquis, but by dint of the
fiercest fighting of the war and at a
sacrifice of 200 soldiers. The town here
is filled with wounded and all public
buildings are utilized.
Torres anticipated the surprise the
Yaquis intended. The Indians were
accompanied by ten adventures, min
ers and cowboys, who acted as COM
manders Of separate companies of for
ty men each. The Yaquis had also a
Maxim gun, which had been smuggled
through at Bisbee, Ariz., in a load of
machinery. The gun was manipulated,
the Mexicans claim, by two ex-rough
riders.
Torres reached here Thursday after
noon and decided to divide his army
of 700 men into two divisions. The
first and strongest. f1anked by the gun
boat Democratic, left here at daybreak
Friday morning. No scouts preceded
the force and the first intimation of the
presence Of the Yaquis was a whitening
fire from the Maxim and of rifle VOL
leys from concealed Notifications in a
dense inject. The first division retreat
ed in confusion and was sheltered in
the timber growth along the river.
More than 100 men fell at this first
fire.
The Democratic then steamed up and
swept the thicket with her machine
gun, but evidently ineffectively. Her
forward decks were swept and the pro-
tected upper deck peppered with bull
lets from the Maxim. Ten sailors and
First Lieutenant Rambolo of the army
were killed. The Democratic drifted
for more than half a mile until a bend
in the river sheltered her. Late in the
afternoon hill signals showed the wait
ing commanders of the first division
that the second detachment had reach
ed a neighboring height to the south
east in it's flank movement.
A simultaneous attack was then
made from the front and flank and the
Indians reiterated. The Maxim gum,
disabled and useless, was brought into
Potam and seventy-three Indians, the
official report states, were found dead.
During the first fire of the iaquis
twenty-three Mexican federals were
driven into the river in a panic and
were drowned. The total Mexican less
was 22T. The Democratic has been
taken to Guaymas for repairs.
This is the first time the Yaquis have
made use of Notifications.

PAUPER'S ESTATE.
Carnegie Company Will Join in a
Fight Against Rightful Heirs.

Duluth, Mimi, Feb. 2J.-Johann
Mueller, who died in the poor house of
this county fourteen months ago and
was supposed to be a pauper, left pro-
perty, it now appears, that has risen
in value to several hundred thousand
dollars. Mueller was a homsteader
and took up government land near this
city several years ago. In the course
of time he gave two mortgages, aggre-
eating $500. one of which was held by
a Catholic priest in this city. About
the time of his death iron ore was
found in the ~neighborhood of his prop
erty and detectives were sent all over
the country to find him.
Meanwhile he died. leaving no rela-
tives in this country, and the priest
foreclosed his mortgage and negotiat-
ed an option on half of the property
to the Carnegie Steel interest for $780,
600 cash, or an annual income of s25.-
900. The Carnegies have just found ore
on the property and closed their op-
tons. Mueller's heirs have been found
living Eenniless in some obscure Ger
man village and suit will be brought
to quash the proceedings that gave the
title to the priest. The Carnegie Steel
company will, it is said, fight with the
priest in his efforts to retain control.

SCORES HURT.
Explosions Do Great Damage At a Par
is Conflagration.

Paris. Feb. 25.-As the result of a
fire tina broke out this morning at st.
Quen, a suburb of Paris, in a collection
of alcohol and oil stores, a series of
explosions occurred, spreading the
flames until a block of six immense
warehouses was involved in a huge
conflagration.
A great concourse of spectators had
assembled and had approached too
near, when suddenly the explosions oc-
CURED. A large number of people, in
Guiding some fremen, we're more or
less injured.
The last explosion occurred at G
o'clock this afternoon, when it was
thought that much danger had been
averted. Thirty persons were injured
by flying debris. The official compu-
tation shows that $50 persons were
hurt, and quite a number seriously.
The fire broke out at s o'clock from
some cause as yet unknown. and had
obtained a good start before it was dis
covered. 1t progressed without excit-
ing incidents during the morning and,
at l O'Clock, had been gotten under con-
troll. At 4 o'clock, however, the falling
walls permitted the flames to reach a
number of alcohol watts. and then the
explosions began to take place.
The block of warehouses was almost
surrounded by ~unoccupied ground, ov-
er which the burning alcohol spread
when the buildings collapsed, resem-
bling a sea of flames, and causing con
sternation all drought the district
People in the dwellings near by began
hastily removing their furniture. The
~suffocating heat and fumes seriously
hampered the work of the fire brigade.
A number of engines were sent from
Paris to assist. The firemen worked
fearlessly, and more than once were
precfpitated to the ground by falling
roofs and walls.
A detachment Of soldiers aided the
firemen in emptying the adjacent hous-
es of furniture, and the ambulances
were busy in carrying victims to the
neighboring hospitals.
Fortunately the flames did not reach
the immense reservoirs of petroleum.
The loss is estimated at 1000, 900
francs.

THE AMERICAN FLAG

The American flag now floats over a
land of barbarity. If any one had
~prophesied this four years ago, he
would have been laughed to scorn. Yet
change is constantly taking place, Ma
ture is merciless. So soon as she dis
covers an improvement, the old, what
ever 1t may be, is doomed. The fact
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
famous cure for dyspepsia, has remain
ed unchanged for half a century, proves
its value. Try it for indigestion. bill
iousness, constipation or malaria, few
er and ague, n be convinced. Your
case is not incurable. You simply
have not used the right remedy. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is what you
need--the sooner the better. 1t is par
ticularly valuable at this season or the
year.
