The Seaboard Air Line railroad has had for some time a very large force of hands on the track near town regrading the line from Poston to Andrews and putting the roadbed in shape for very heavy traffic. The farmers of the community have been busy setting tobacco and planting corn and cotton. Considerable fertilizer has been hauled so far,but not nearly so much as heretofore. Tobacco plants are rather scarce, due to the late cold wave, but a large acreage is being set. and optimism as to conditions generally seems to be very prevalent.

El Paso, Texas, April 16:?Fran; cisco Villa is dead, and his body, disinterred some davs after his burial, J is in the possession of the Carranza | troops, according to a series of telegraphic messages received in Juarez today by the Mexican officials. For more than a week reports that Villa had died from wounds have been current both here and in Juarez. Today's accounts were the most circumstantial and apparently reliable yet received. They were accepted with reserve by American officials, including Gen Bell, but the Mexican officials expressed confidence in their reliability. The messages, in the order in which they were received, were as follows: "The dispatcher of the Mexcan Northwestern Railroad, at Juarez, reported to Gen Cavira; Carranza commander at Juarez, that he had heard a conversation on the telegraph wire to the effect that Villa's body was in the hands of the Carranza troops. "Gen Gavira notified Consul Andres Garcia here, who rushed messages to the telegraph operators at Madera and Cu9ihuirachic asking for confirmation." The Madera and Cusihuirachic oper atjrs answered, confirming me report and stating the body was being taken to Chihauhua. The telegraph operator at San Antonio, fifty miles we3t. of Chihuahua, telegraphed Consul Garcia that Villa's body was in possesion of Col Carlos Carranza, nephew of Gen Carranza, who was taking it in a special train to Chihuahua. In reply to these messages, telegrams were sent to the Carranza generals in the field and to officials in Mexico City, Chihuahua and other points asking confirmation, but no answers have yet been received. Apart from the telegrams sent here there are some known facts which have been pointed out by Mexican officials as lending strong support to the truth of the report that the bandit chieftain's career has been closed by death. . . .1 The facts are: That Villa had been suffering for more than a year from a virulent form of blood poisoning. He was treated for this disease while in Juarez by Dr W L Brown, one of the best known physicians in El Paso. Dr Brown states that the condition of the bandit was such thab even a minor wound would be fatab in ten days unless treated promptly and with the best medical skill and care. Even under the most favorable conditions such a wound would be of the gravest character. I It is certain that if Villa was wounded he could not have commanded anything but the most primitive treatment. Another message from Chihuahua City received here today stating that rioting had broken out there was regarded as being in some measure confirmatory of the bandit's death. WORK HEARS ON THE KIDNEYS. Coan's Kidr.ey Pills Have Done fire*' Service lor People Who Work in Kingslree. xMar.y Kingstree people work every day in some strained,unnatural position?bending constantly over a desk ?riding on jolting wagons or carsdoing laborious housework; lifting, ... I reaching or pulling, or trying tne back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until , they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys and bad backs. Their effect ive work is convincing proof of merit.

Villa is known to have had numerous sympathizers among the lower classes in the city, and it was considered probable that their sympathies'would take the form of violence if they learned the body of their hero was being brought to Chihuahua to be exhibited as that of a criminal. Finally, and a point upon which the greatest emphasis is laid, is: Nothing has been known of Villa since the battle of Guerrero, at which time reports of his being wounded were accepted by Gen Pershing and other American officers. If he had continued south, as i * u.. < : was assuuieu ue must, uy una umc have reached either Torreon or Durango City, in which event some news of his movements would almost positively have become known. Only one message was received in Juarez today, giving any details of the supposed finding of Villa's body. This message was unofficial and was sent to a private individual. According to it Villa's death and burial were revealed by a former colonel of the bandit band, who had been captured and was under sentence of death. This colonel offered to show his captors Villa's grave in return for his life. He led a detachment of Carranza soldiers under the com- X mand of Col Cavazos to San Francisco Borja, a small town thirty miles south of Cusihuirachic, with which it is connected by a vague and deserted trail. Near this lonely spot the Carranza soldiers are said to have exhumed the body of the bandit. One leg was said to have been swollen to enormous size and to be in such a gangrenous condition that there was no doubt as to the cause of death. Consul Garcia refused to commit himself positively tonight as to whether he accepted the story of Villa's death as true. "In the absence of official information," he said, "I cannot say that the story is absolutely true, but personally I consider the message I have received as reliable. I have sent a telegram to Governor Enriquez, of Chihuahua, to have the body of Villa sent to Juarez if ic has been found, so that the Americans here can satisfy themselves as to the facts." ONIONS IN MILK. Keep Cows Oat of Onlon-lnfested Pastures before Milking* For the next few weeks there will be much trouble with the cows fretting wild onions in the pasture. The flavor of the onion is passed off with the breath of the cow and in her milk. Butter made from such milk carries a strong taste of onion and cannot be sold on the regular market. There is no way the farmer can get the odor out of the milK or butter. None of the patent stock foods or any other powder or remedy is of any value and so no money should ] be wasted on them. Keeping the I . ? fU~ cow away irom uic uiuui..i 13 mc only satisfactory way. If the cow is kept away from the onions six or eight hours before milking almost all of the odor will have passed out of j her system and very little will be ! noticed in her milk. This method will allow the cow to use the pasture for two or three hours after the morning milking. Where tne grass is thick the cow will not usually bite the onion?. There will he few farmers walk[ ing this foil if autos keep selling like they have for the past few months. ftiiy Cnnslipalion Injures. The bowels are the natural sewerage .-ystem of the body.
