BODY FOUND IN
STORE BASEMENT
Man Buried Long Ago Is
Disinterred in Ell Paso
Business House.

If Edgar Allen Poe were living and
had been down at the Popular dry goods
store yesterday afternoon he could have
found excellent material for one of his
nightmare stories about premature
burial. or something equally cheerful.
The setting was not conducive to ro-
nance but that could have been aIIered
some way.
In digging a pit for q new freight ele-
vator workmen dug into a decayed cof-
fin and exhumed body. The clerks in
the store were greatly excited about it.
They placed the remains in pasteboard
clothing box, and sent for an under
taker.
Now the body is in charge of Nag
ley & Raster, who believe it was inferred
about 30 years ago. There was no name
plate found on the box and the remains
are unidentified. Perhaps it was the
body Of the grandfather of some present
resident of Ell Paso. Who knows?
If not Identified. the body will be
buried In the potter's field, inferred for
the second time while the ghouls chant
their melancholy wall of death.

NEWSPAPERS As WRAPPING PAPER

Hereafter All Merchants
Must Use Clean Writing

If you buy anything eatable, from
cactus candy to mule meat, over in

it wrapped in a nice clean sheet Of

1t is acting jefe politico Francisco
Portillo who has done it. Mr.. Portillo
has been sent to guide the destinies of
Juarez in the absence of Felix Barcenas.
He already has shown himself some
thing of a reformer in other cities of
Chihuahua, where he has been chief
executive.
According to jefe poIitico, newspapers
are only fit for two things: To read
and to light fires with To wrap up food
stuffs in wood pulp sheets dobbed in
printers ink is unSanitary and highly
unhygienic, he says The storekeepers
and the candy vendors have raised an
awful howl about it, But the people of
JuareZ approve and have great hopes
that other such reforms will follow.
And 1T is more than probable that
they will. Mr.. Portillo is investigating
meat conditions which in JuareZ are
said to be very bad. He may institute
a system Of meat inspection in vogue
in other Mexican cities according to the
French idea. Milk also will be looked
into.
The ruling against print paper will
hit hard a certain intercivic industry
Juarez has been a welcome outlet fol
old papers and magazines from FL Paso

will have TO be used to kindle FL Pasc
