HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Difi- culties in Getting Goods to Cap
 ital of Guatemala.

A Mobile merchant sold some cotton
 oods not long ago to be delivered at 4uatemala City. Within 300 feet of his warehouse a steamer was loading for Puerto Barrios, whence runs railway to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan capital. To reach the latter the goods would have to be packed over the noun tains by Indians or on muleback. The merchant found it cheaper to ship by way of San Francisco, thence by boat to San Jose, Guatamala. and to the cap ttal by rail. New Orleans, terminus of the Southern Pacific. is almost next door to Mobile. New York, however, en- ioyed a cheaper rate because there was competition with the routes across the Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn. So the goods were sent by boat to New York, thence by boat back to New Or leans, and thence on their way. going nearly 10000 miles instead of HOO by the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil- ity to get at the west coast markets has done much to keep American goods out of them. Guatamala has now arranged for the speedy completion of the rail- way from the Caribbean to the capital. and a cheap direct route will thus be opened.

Your Life
 Current.

The power that gives you life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the nerves to the various organs.
 If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stufy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, peri odical pains, indigestion, dys- pepsia. stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser's Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not we'll founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans in Brazil is not, after all, ominous. ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later. census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,000,000, of which number less than 3,000,000 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14,0O0,000 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,7O0,OOO were immigrants, and of the latter number only 30O,00O were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti. mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450,000, or lit. tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer- ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form a ma. jority of their population, ss some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 100000, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha. rina the Germans are 100000 in a total of 30O,0O0, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,000 in 2S0,000, and in Sac Paulo 3O,. 900 in 1,43O,00O.
 It is pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools Well, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit. ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in. creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.

FIRST BATTLE AT PYRAMID LAKE
Ii Is F0rty-five Years Since That
Disastrous Fight With Indians.

May IL was the forty-fifth anniver-
sary of the battle with Piute Indians
near Pyramid Lake, when Major
Ormsby and nearly one-half of his
company. composed of volunteers from
Virginia City and Carson, were killed.
Oscar @. Steele, who was a private in
the company. gives the Virginia Chron-
icle this brief account of the bloody
fight:
The Indians had made raid on
rarches in Carson Valley and murdered
entire families. burning their homes,
running off cattle and committing the
most atrocious outrages ON white set
tiers. Major Ormsby issued call for
volunteers to revenge the death of the
victims of the bloodthirsty savages and
organized company of 105 men. rank
and file. The company was mounted
and armed with rifles, shotguns, sabres
and revolvers and took up the line of
march for the hostile Indian camp near
Pyramid Lake, which was reached on
May ~, 1860.
The battle began at IL a. m. on that
date and resulted disastrously to the
volunteer cavalry. which was forced to
retreat and was pursued until nightfall.
When the roll was called it was ascer-
tanned that out of the company Of
los men who were in the bloody con-
fiict 40 were killed.
Subsequently Captain Storey and
Colonel Jack Hayes, the noted Texas
ranger. organized battalion of volun.
teers and fought the Indians on the
same battle ground, nearly annihilat-
ing them.
In this last action Mr.. Steele was en-
ployed as a scout and is the only sur
vivor of the first battle at Pyramid
Lake.
