Washington, April 27.—The forces of Generals..Villa and Obregon prob- ably will meet in a second battle with- in a few days somewhere south of Torreon, according to 2 statement is- ‘| Sude here by the Villa agency. Villa is declared to have completed his con- centration at Aguas Calientes follow- ing his retreat from Irapuato and the advance of the Zapata forces from Mexico City is said to have drawn an “fron ring” about Obregon’s army. The agency is advised that General Obre- gon has not reached Irapuato. The next battle will be fought perhaps within two weeks. Obregon is now completely isolated from all sources of supplies and rein- forcements. The Zapata forces ad- vancing from Mexico City upon Obre- gon’s ‘rear had welded together the iron ring with which the convention forces have been slowly inclosing Ob- regon. Interruption of the railroad between Pachuca and Tula completed the work of cutting off Obregon. He has no communication with Vera Cruz, Guaymas, Mex. (By wireless to San Diego, Cal.), April 27.—Yaqui upris- ings and the Indians’ defiant. attitude are causing Villa authorities much concern. Troops have refused to op- erate against the Indians on the wan path in the Yaqui valley, ninety miles southeast of here, it is reported, In Guaymas soldiers went on a ram- page, smashing wintows. In northern Sonora, Villa and Carranza troops are reported to have been fighting Satur- day near Imuris, forty miles south of Nogales. The result is unknown here. Battle With Smallpox. Washington, April 26.—Vaccine and other. medical supplies to. combat smallpox and prevent spread of the disease in Mexico City is to be for- warded from Vera Cruz by special train. The medical supplies were or- dered from New York some time ago and are now due in Vera Cruz. State department officials say there is no epidemic of smallpox or other contagious disease in Mexico City, but it has been known for some time that there were a large number of cases and they havé been taken;care of from time to time. To prevent further spread of the disease an extra supply of vaccine was ordered and the state department was advised that it had been forwarded from New York on the steamer Morro Castle. Guayamas, Mex., by Radio to San) Diego, Cal., April 26.—The Villa forces have been badly defeated in southern Sonora, evacuating the town of Nava- joa after having lost and retaken it before their final defeat and losing many pieces of artillery, machine guns and ammunition. They have retreated north forty kilometers to Fundacion station, Or- ders were received by the Southern Pacific railroad at Empalme to dis- patch every available car to Fundacion for wounded. The latter are arriving at Guayamas now. The Carranza forces are pushing northward under Generals Iturbe and Flores, while General Calles is work- ing northeast toward Hermosillo and is reported as being now at Ures. i Capital Is Quieter. City of Mexico, April 24.—Authen- tic reports of the signal defeat of Genefal Francisco Villa's forces near Celaya in Northern Mexico by General Obregon, the Carranza. commander, have had a quieting effect on conii- tions here and the best interests cif the city are hopeful that the worst 3s over for the country. .

MAY SECURE POTASH AGAIN Negotiations by United States with Germany Appear to Be Successful, Says Berlin Report. “Two per cent,” the near beer broth- er of John Barleycorn, went down for the count at Carrollton in spite of any- thing his friends, the Kansas City breweries, could do in his behalf. The blow is said to be a decisive one. There has never been a question of “two per cent” being an outlaw in local option territory, but Carroll coun- ty has not the protection of that law. | Hence it was the claim of the brew- eries—just as it is in all wet territory —that it could be sold without a li- cense, This argument is principally based on the fact that a federal license is not required to sell liquor contain- ing less than 2 per cent alcohol. Operating under the supposed pro- tection of the breweries and their high- priced lawyers, Wakenda, a little town of that county, became a “nest” of “two per cent” saloons. The town ; had run its saloons out by the petition | route, but the near beer joints took | their place in fancied security. Some time ago a young man was ar- | rested at Wakenda charged with bur- | glary. He pleaded guilty before Judge |F. P. Divelbiss, circuit judge, and | urged that he did not know what he was doing because he was drunk on “two per cent.” “Wait a minute,” the judge ordered, and he sent for the court stenographer and the prosecrting attorney. Then he had the testimony taken down in de- il by the stenographer. “Per cent don’t matter if this young Berlin, April 26.—The negotiations with the United States for the removal of the German prohibition of the ex- portation of potash salts, which have been in progress for some time, have reached the stage where a successful | issue seems probable.

Because its Citizens Have Learned the coe Truth. After reading this generous and encouraging report from Mr. Morgan those who have misfortune to suffer as he did, will naturally long to get the same good as Mr. Morgan had, you should. get the same remedy. There are of course, other kidney pills but there are no other kidney pills the same as Doans.. That iswhy Butler people demand the genuine. Asa Morgan, Butler, says: ‘‘Doans Kidney Pills area good remedy for pain and weakness in the back and trouble with the kidney secretions. This remedy has been used in my family, being procured at Clay’s Drug store, and as I know what it can do, Ido not hesitate to indorse it’? Mr. Morgon is only one of many Butler people who have gratefully endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills. If your back aches--if your kidneys bother you, don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that Mr. Morgan had—the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c all stores.
