Some Things You Want to Know
Turbulent Central AmericaA Century of Revolution.
From the time when Nelson, then an
humble officer of marines, but afterward
tha 'hero of Trafalgar, lost his shoes In
wading through a quagmire to receive the
surrender of a Spanish battery, down to
tha living present, there has been little
rest from political tribulation and revolu
tion In Central America. Internecine strife
has been so constant as to call forth the
remark that thete never was a time when
Central America was not planning a revo
lution, fighting one, or ending one. The
cause Is not far io seek. The people are
not temperamentally fitted for freedom.
The republican form of government ob
tains1 In theory, but not In fact. The ballot
box, In the United States a great engine of
liberty which transforms the will of the
people into action, there stands for little
more than a pleasing fiction. No sooner
does a Central American ruler get into
power than he makes plans to stay there,
with the result that the only way to
change his admlnsitratlon Is at the point of
the bayonet. He immediately clothes him
self with more power than Edward of Eng
land ever knew, and more than William
of Germany ever expects to have.
It was said that tha last presidential con
test in Panama was the first fair election
ever known in tropical America. Plans
had been perfected to insure the perpetua
tion of the Amador government, and only
a healthy display of power on the part
of Undo Sam prevented a revolution there.
The "Ins" were planning to operate the
election machinery In such a way as to
Insure their success, and the "outs" were
determined to enforce their rights at the
point of the bayonet. Execept for the part
Uncle Sam played in that event this outline
might serve for a hundred different elec
tion rows In Central America, with the de
tails merely filled in. Some times it Is
the moderates against the liberals, some
times the conservatives against the rad
icals, some times the centralists against the
federalists and some times the democrats
against the republicans, but nearly always
the trouble Is brought about by the ef
forts of the "Ins" to make the results of
the bsllnt box favorable to them, no matter
what the will of the people. It is simply
a case of the shadow of democracy and the
substance of tyranny.
The Central American states, consisting
of Uuatamala, Cost Hlco, Honduras, Sal
vador and Nicaragua, spent three full cen
tuiies under Spanish rule. Explored and
taken possession of by a representative of
Cortes, in the uame of Spain, they im
mediately became Spanish territory. It
would be a long and tedious process to
review their history during these three
centuries, starting with Spanish posses
sion In 1521 and ending with Independence
In 1(21. The latter part of this period has
a deep Interest because there was a well
laid plot on the part of Great Britain to
recoup her losses of the revolutionary wat
in North America by getting control of
Central America. v
It . was at this time that Horatio Nel
son, still an humble subaltern, at the
head of 00 marines, waded through mud
and water and "boarded" a Spanish bat
tery, as he termed it. Successful in his
first battle, the campaign ss a whole went
against him. Once his life was saved by
a llsard running across hla . face and
awakening him In time to escape a deadly
viper coiled at his feet. Not long there
after he was poisoned by drinking water
from a spring in which grew. deadly
tree, and it is said that his health never
recovered from that experience.
Although England failed to get posses
sion of Central America she was respon
sible for Spain losing it. ' It was at Traf&l
ger that the spell of Spanish power was
broken and the Invincible Armada hurled
back In defeat and despair. What Eng
land did not do in drivlng'Spaln to poverty
and weakness was completed by Na
poleon.' Enboldened by the weakness of
the mother country, and cheered by the
example of the United States, the Central
American colonies wrote their declaration
of independence, and through an all but
bloodless revolution established themselves
as Independent states. It fell to the lot
of a' little province of Chiapas, then a por
tion of Guatamala, to start the movement
that resulted In freedom from the Spanish
yoke. It declared itself Independent of
Spain, Guatamala followed quickly and
her action was duplicated by the other
states. Mexico sought through Iturblde
to annex them all to her territory, declar
ing they could not stand alone, but only
Chiapas was finally made a part of that
nation. Mexico did not give up her pre
tensions to possession without a struggle,
The Board of Supervisors yesterday fixed

Minnie Page, the assistant matron, at $33
a month, .

taining the institution to $2,767.46. During

seven deaths among the Inmates during
' the same period.

mium of $100.

Mem Iters af Council Dlaffa Team
Are 111.
Owing to the illness of three members
of the h'sh school team it is likely that
the triangular debate arranged for January
S? , between the high schools of Council
Bluffs, Port Dodge and Sioux City will
have to be postponed. Miss Dolly Bujte
of the local tram is ill with typhoid fever,
while H. Kenneth Snyder, another member
of the team, la 111 with malaria, and George
Spooner, a third member, has th ;r p,
ll'lnclpal Heed has written to tl.i :ier
two schools requesting that the deb be
postponed and is awaiting answers.
Guatamula having quickened her hop of
success, but after forcing one or two of
the states to submit - to annexation, Itur
blde's government In Mexico was Itself
overthrown and a republic established
there.
Then cam a constitutional convention.
A constitution modelled after that of the
United States was prepared and adopted,
'though there Is no proof that It was sub
mitted to the people themselves. No sooner
had this new nation been formed than In
tense partisan spirit arose. The centralists
and the federalists, known also as the
moderates and the liberals, and also as the
aristocrats and radicals, became extremely
bitter toward one another. Starting under
the most favorable auspices, except that
the people were not fitted for the sov
ereignty vested In American citizens, it was
not long until the question of state's rights
arose in a peculiar way. The National
congress planned a big celebration In honor
of the first annlverslty of the new gov
ernment, but Guatamala refused to par
ticipate. Tots' refueat was most embaras
slng as the seat of government was in
her territory. So the National congress
passed a resolution compelling the Guate
malans to . participate In the exercises.
In 1S28 President Arce issued a proclama
tion convening an extra session of the
congress, which was clearly an unconsti
tutional act. Salvador rebelled. Invaded
Guatamala and was defeated. Arce
countered with an Invasion of Salvador,
and was In turn defeated. Civil war was
the result. The troublous times brought a
leader who forced the states Into submis
sion for awhile, but even he could not In
definitely postpone the separation. that
seemed inevitable. By 1S33 every state had
seceded. It was a general secession, for
which, in the very nature of things, there
could be no remedy. The United States
of Central America was nothing but a
name.
About this time there arose a new
power in Central American politics. This
man was Carrera, a mulatto with a pre
dominant streak of Indian blood in his
veiiis, and who had been pig-driver in
Guatamala. He was as ignorant as his
vocation would indicate, yet possessed of
a cunning and cruelty seldom surpassed.
Tears of fighting followed his rise. The
Btates were led to a reunion, only to split
up again. At times Carrera was a defeated
guerilla sulking in the mountains with a
price upon his head, and then a trium
phant leader with a recruited force. He
finally defeated Moraxan In a great battle,
and had that valiant warrior put to death
on the anniversary of Central American
independence. Carrera placed himself at
the head of the Guatamalan government
and remained Its dictator until 1S63.
We now come to the tlme of William
Walker, the versatile and daring Tennea
sean who sought to establish an empire
of his own in Central America. This dash
ing soldier' of fortune first failed In an
attempt to create a state In a lonely
Mexican province, but, nothing daunted
by this reverse, pressed on' southward in
his career of conquest. For a time he was
actually in control of the government of
Nicaragua and seemed in a fair way to
realise his ambition to be a ruler. But his
tenure of power . was brief. After being
turned from' ,one port by the American
navy and ordered away from another by
the admiral f a British warship, this
valiant freebooter was captured by Hon
"duranean troqps. court-martialed and shot.
The subsequent history of the Central
American states is one of abortive efforts
to reunite them, of revolutions and counter-revolutions
with occassional bright
periods of peace under temporary bene
ficent administrations. Even as late as
1907 a serious effort was made to re
unite the states in a permanent union like
our own. There had been such a succes
sion of revolution that Mexico and the
United States Joined hands In . asking the
republics to take part in a conference at
Wsshlngton looking to a mutual under
standing that would end these constant
wars. When the delegates met the repre
sentative from Honduras proposed a union.
He Insisted that federation was bound to
come, and that the question Involved was
only whether It should be now or here
after. Honduras and Nicaragua favored
the proposition, but all the others opposed
It. The result was the court of arbitra
tion, a sort of mlnature Hague tribunal,
but no union.

Superintendent of County Hospital
Probably Sure of Job.
STEYKER SLATED P0E TRANSOM
Brsslng'i Head Janitor, Who Haa
Protected Al Keenan, la Likely
to Be Forsrottea at the
Pla Counter.
G. Fred Elsasser Is likely to be re
elected superintendent of the county hos
pital, and all the other appointments by
the Board of County Commissioners of
January, 1909, probably will be reaffirmed,
with the exception . of George Stryker as
custodian of the court house building.
Stryker does not stand well with County
Comiiiinaiuiitr O. J. Plckard. Commis
sioners Tralnor and Scott will not vots
for, him and three votes are necessary.
Commissioner Plckard never was warmly
In favor of Stryker, but Stryker was on the
slate last year and Plckard had to vote for
him to save his own men. Since then
Stryker has offended Plckard in the matter
of not attempting to enforce the rule of
the board with, respect to the exclusion
of Al Keenan. Keenan and Stryker are
good friends, and If Stryker made any at
tempt to carry out the order of the com
missioners which was especially vested In
him, no evidence of such activity has ever
been known.
Again there Is pronounced and expressed
dissatisfaction with the conduct of the
immediate work devolving upon the cus
todian. The court house has been dis
gracefully unclean throughout the whole
of Stryker's Incumbency of the position,
and his warmest advocates cannot assert
that the cleaning of rooms and corridors
haa been attended to with any degree of
thoroughness.
Braalaaj la a Bitter Pill.
Commissioners Plckard and. Bedford are
finding extremely dlstssteful to themselves
the prospect of giving Fred Brunlng an
other term as chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners. But at the pres
ent outlook It will be necessary to accord
this re-election to Brunlng If appointments
aro to be aaved.
Brunlng. himself, Is well aware of the
fact that neither Bedford nor Pick aid
would consider for a minute voting for
Mro If It were not for this1 consideration
and he Is restive under this knowledge.
There will be few uew favea (a the oourt
house this year. There will be no changes
In the office of the county Judge, County
Clerk. Haverly contemplates none in the
county clerk's own office, though the
change from, the comptrollershlp to the
auditorshlp makes some changes. The
same staff will be maintained in the office
of Recorder of Deeds Frank Bandle and
there it to be.no change In the deputy as
sesBorshlps. In the otlce of the clerk of
district court only one change will be
made. Mrs. J. H. Hobert will become
stenographer In the office of the auditor.
Robert Smith has not yet designated her
successor.
The deputy sheriffs at the court house
will be the same. At the county Jail Nels
Lundgren replaces Ben Stewart. Corey

GLENWOOD, la., Jan. . (Special.)
When tha Board of Supervisors met to
organize for the new Vipar, Mr. F. II. Nlpp
of Mlneola, who claims to have been
elected In 1908 to take his seat January 1,
1910, was on hand to demand his Meat, but
In view of the fact that tho district court
had Utclded that J. D. Hobblns, who
claimed to hava been elected al the same
time to tike his seat January t, 1909, was
not legally elected, the chairman of the
board, 8. W. Cretch, declined to recognize
Mr. Nlpp as a member, and considerable
discussion followed. Mr. Brandt, whose
terra was to expire January 1, 1910, ro
qviallflcd for the office and was recognized
by Mr. Creech, ths chairman, and after
considerable argument the board pro
ceeded to Its regular business. Tho case of
Mr. Hobblns is now in the supreme court,
and will likely be heard at tho March term
of this year. The wholo controversy grows
out of the recent county scat fight, when
Malvern tried to have tha county seat
moved to that place.

which 1b 2V4 cents below the high mark for
this section of the country, a record made
a few days ago at Kansas City.
Many loads sold, as high as (8.66. This
staggering price has been brought about
by the general scarcity in the producing
belt and the extremely severe weather of
the last six weeks, which has lA fact been
so rigorous, that shipments from the north
ern states have been vastly lessened. The
record for the first three days of the new
year shows a large decrease over the same
period last year.

Forty -Two Men
Arc Probably
Frozen to Death
fleet of Fishing Smack is Caught
by Blizzard Off Canso,
Nova Scotia,
CANSO, N. S., Jan. . Forty-two fisher
men are missing and may have perished
in the blizzard that has been raging for
more than twenty-four hours. Fourteen
men are known almost certainly to have
been lost, and the remaining twenty-eight
already are being mourned, their chance
for escape being regarded as small.
The fleet from Canso and from Petite
de Grat, about nine miles away, were also
caught in the storm, but escaped by
skilled boatmanshlp.
The storm Tuesday caught the fisher
men all unawares. Lured by a fine morn
ing that promised good fishing the men
ventured to the outer edge of the haddock
fishing grounds. At noon the storm came
up with great rapidity, and In a period
measured by minutes the ten-mlle-an-hour
wind was transferred into a gale, the tem
perature full many degreeB and thlok snow
obscured the view, so that many of the
little craft were unable to make the har
bor. Steamers were sent out today in
the search for the smacks. Several crews,
frostbitten from a night of exposure, were
picked up, but many are still missing, and
the chance that they have escaped grows
less as the hours pass.
At the entrance to White Head harbor,
a boat from Port Felix settlement struck
on Dogfish rocks and Its crew of seven
was lost. Another boat, its sail in tatters,
was sighted off shore at Canso, but before
assistance could put off it was lost from
view In the blinding snow. Its crew must
have perished.
