Num- City at the tticials who will"seek renominations 'rimary election to be held in Feb- ruary are beginning to declare them- selves. Mayor Thomas Maloney filed with City Auditor McAneney yesterday his nom- ination petition. His was the first to be tiled. ’ “I am a candidate for mayor again’" snid Mr. Maloney yesterday afternoon. If my record as mayor Is satisfactory to the citizens of Councll Bluffs, then I desire the office for another two years. I am going to try to be re-elected, and right here, 1 want to say that I am not going to carry on any mud-slinging campaign. I intend to make my campalgn on the record 1 have made since I have been in office.” Present indications are that Mayor Tom will not have any opposition in his own party and will recelve the democratic nomination for another term. City Treasurer Frank T. True and City Auditor J. F. McAneney are both candi- Qates for remomination on the republican ticket, and fil¢d their papers yesterday. Captain J. J. Brown wants another term member of the Board of Park Commis- sioners and likewise filed his papers yes- terday. He expects the @e:nocrats will re- nominate him. Councilman A. Bellinger, who represents the Sixth ward, deciared yesterday his in- tentions of being & candidate for re- nomination in his batliwick. He expects to file his papers in the next few days. Candidates fof nomination for munieipal offices must file thelr petitions on or be- fore January %. The primaries will be held February 28 and the city eioction wii b | held on Monday, March 2. The law requires candldates to secure signers to their petituns equal in number to 2 per cent of the number of votes cast tor tho candidates of their respaetive parties for mayor at the last city electon. | At the election in 1908 Mayor Maioney, who was the democratic candidate, received 2,846 votes, while R. B. Wallace, the re- publican candidate for mayor, recelved 2,307 votes, Democratic candidates will conse- quently be required to have fifty-seven signatures to thelr nomination petitions, while the republican candidates need have only forty-seven, Except in the case of ward counclimen and precinct committeemen nominations in the oty primaries require 8 per cent of the votes cast. Dormitory for County Jurors Instead of Sending Them to Hotels Board Will Prepare Beds in Court House, At the suggestion of Judge Thornell of the district court the Board of Supervisors made arrangements to convert the large room in the basement of the gourt house known as “farmers’ hall” into a dormitory for jurors. This is to avold the expense of taking jurles to hotels at night. The room is to be thoroughly renovated and a con- traet for painting and kalsomining the place was awarded to Walter Wicolalsen. Comfortable beds will be provided and a section of the room will be partitioned off for the accommodation of the ballit¢ in charge of the jury. A few years after the enactment of the law\requiring juvenile prisoners to be kept elsewhere than in a jail this room was fitted up as a detention place for juvenile priconers. Bars were placed on the windows and the wooden doors were replaced with iron ones. A few juvenile offenders were kept In the room, but it has not been used for this purpose for a long time. H. L. Ward was yesterday appointed ad- ditional bafliff for the district court by Judge Thornell and his pay fixed at $250 a day. Ward is o former member of the police force. DIVORCES TAKE TIME OF DISTRICT JUDGE THORNELL Four Couples Released from Ties— | Gra Jury Em- pannel Judge Thornell was unable yesterday to T the present term of disirict court, as several members of that body reported (hey were snowbound and unable to reach the city. During the day five of the men drawn on the grand jury for this year succeeded in getting to Coun- cil Blutfs and reported for duty. Whether a sufficlent number will be here today to enable the court to empanel the grand jury remains to be seen. As s usual at the commencement of each term of court, divorce cases occupled tne center of the stage yesterday, and Judge | Thornell severed the tles which bound four mismated couples. Divorced were granted as follows Elizabeth A. Beckman from John R. Beckman, {0 whom she was mar- ried August 23, 1593, on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment and habitual drunk- eniess, Siella Homer from Fred er, to whom she was married May 27, 199, on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment; Jobn K. Auckland from ivah Aukland, to whom he was married January %, 189, on the grounds of cruel and Inhuman treat- ment; Fannie A. Nicholls from Elmer E.

On motion of County Attorney Hess, the indictment against Verna Thompson re- certly brought back from Hay Springs, Neb., where she was arrested with a man named Crayne, at the Instance of Crayne's wite, was dism.ssed by Judge Thornell for want of evidence to convict.

Some Things You Want to Know From the time when Nelson, then an humble officer of marines, but afterward the hero of Trafalgar, lost his shoes In wading through a quagmire to receive the surrender of a Spanish battery, down to the living present, there has been little rest from political tribulation and revolu- tion In Central America. Internecine strife has been 50 constant as to call forth the remark that there never was a time when Central America was not planwing a revo- lution, fighting one, or ending one. The cause Is not far o seck. The people are not temperamentally fitted for freedom. The republican form of government ob- taind in theory, but not in fact. The ballot box, In the United States a great engine of Iiberty which trangforms the will of the people into action, there stands for little more than a pleasing fiction. No sooner does a ‘entral American ruler get Into power than he makes plans to stay there, with the result that the only way to change his minsitration 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 Willlam ot Germany ever expects to have. It was said that the last presidential con- test in Panama was the first fair election ever known in troplcal America. Plans had been perfected to insure the perpetua- tion of the Amador government, and only & healthy display of power on the part of Uncle Sam prevented a revolution there, The "“ins"” were planning to operate the election machinery in such a way as to insure thelr 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- talls merely filled In, Some times it is the moderates against the liberals, some times the conservatives against the rad- lcals, some times the centrallsts against the federalists and some times the demoecrats against the republicans, but nearly always the trouble 18 brought about by the ef- forts of the “Ins” to make the results of the ballot box favorabie 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 Guatamala, Cost Rico, Honduras, Sal- vador and Nicaragus, spent three full cen- turles 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 centurles, 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 vecoup her loases of the revolutionary wac in North America by getting control of Central America. It was at this time that Horatlo Nel- son, still an humble subaltern, at the head of 500 marines, waded through mud and water and “boarded” a Spanish bat- tery, as he termed It. Successful in his first battle, the campaign as a whole went against him. Once his life was saved by a lizard running across his face and awakening him in time to escape a deadly viper colled at his feet. Not long there- after he was polsoned by drinking water from a spring in which grew & deadly tree, and it is sald that his health never recovered from that expertence. Although England falied to get posses- slon of Central America she was respon- sible for Spain losing it. It was at Trafal- ger that the spell of Spanish power was broken and the Invincible Armada hurled back In defeat and despalr. What Eng- land did not do In driving’Spain 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 litle province of Chlapas, then a por- tion of Guatamala, to start the movement that resulted in freedom from the Spanish yoke. It declared ftself independent of Spain, Guatamala followed quickly and her action was duplicated by the other atates. Mexico sought through Iturbide 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, Turbulent Central America—A Century of Revolution. Guatamula having quickened her hope of €uccess, but after forcing ome or two of the states to submit to annexation, Ttur- bide's government in Mexico was itself overthrown and & republic established there. Then came a constitutional convention. A constitntion 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 centralls 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 favorablo auspices, except that the people were not fitted for the sov- erelgnty vested in American citizens, It was not long until the question of state’s rights arose In a pecullar way. The Natlonal congress planned a big celebration in honor of the first anniversity of the new gov- ernment, but Guatamala refused to par- ticipate. This refusal was most embaras- sing as the seat of government was In her territory. So the Natlonal congress passed a resolution compelling the Guata- malans to participate in the exerclse: In 182 President Arce lssued 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 tuen defeated. Civil war was the result. The troublous times brought a leader who forced the states into subml sion for awhile, but even he could not in- definitely postpone the separation ' that seemed Inevitable. By 1838 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 Indlan blood in his veins, and who had been a plg-driver in Guatamale, He was as ignorant as his vocation would indicate, vet possessed of a cunning and cruelty seldom surpassed. Years of fighting followed his rise. The states 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 Morazan In a great battle, and had that vallant 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 186. We now come to the time of William Walker, the versatile and daring Tennes- 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 provinge, 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 realize 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 of a British warship, this vallant freebooter was captured by Hon- duranean troqps, court-martialed and shot. The vubsequent history of the Central American states is one of abortive efforts to reunite them, of revolutions and coun- ter-revolutions ~ with occassional bright perlods of peace under temporary bene- ficent administragons. 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- slon of revolution that Mexico and the United States joined hands in asking the republics to take part in a conference at Washington lcoking 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, & sort of minature Hague tribunal, but no unlon. By FPREDERIC J. NASKIN. Tomorrow—Turbulent Central America— Wicaragua, Land of Blasted Hopes. ELSASSER T0 BE RE-ELECTED | Superintendent of County Hospital Probably Sure of Job. STRYKER SLATED FOR TRANSOM Bruning’s Head Janitor, Who Has Protected Al Keenan, is Likely to Be Forgotten at the Pie Counter, G. Fred Elsasser is likely to ve 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 custodlan of the court house building. Stryker does not stand well with County Commissioner O. J. Pickard. Commis- sloners Trainor and Scojt will not vote for, him and three votes are necessary. Commissioner Pickard never was warmly in favor of Stryker, but Stryker was on the slate last year and Pickard had to vote for him to save his own men. Since then Stryker has offendéd Pickard in the matter of not attempting to enforce the rule of the board with respect to the exclusion Keenan. Keenan &nd Stryker are tempt to carry out the order of the com- missioners which w him, no evidence of such actlvity has ever been known. Again there is pronounced and expressed dissatisfaction with the conduct of the immedlate wofk devolving upon the cus- todian. The court house has been dis- gracefully unclean throughout the whole of Stryker's incumbency of the posttion, and his warmest advocates cannot assert that the cleaning of rooms and corridors thoroughness. Bruning is a Bitter Pill, Commissioners Pickard lnd,Bedlnrd are finding extremely distasteful to themselves the prospect of giving Fred Bruning an- other term as chalrman of the Board of Foley's Kidney Remedy will cure any case of kidney or bladder trouble that Is not beyond the reach of medicine.

Backache, rheuma- tism, kidnoy and bladder troubles are all cured by this great medicine. Sold by all aruggisis. || County Commissioners. But at the pres- ent outlook it will be neeessary to accord this re-election to Bruning If appointments are to be saved. Brining, himself, is well aware of the tact that neither Bedford nor Pickard would consider for a minute voting for him If It were not for this consideration and he Is restive under this knowledge. There will be few new faces lo the eourt especially vested In | has been attended to with any degree of | 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 comptrollership to the auditorship 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 sessorships. In the ofice of the clerk of aistrict 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 jall Nels Lundgren replaces Ben Stewart. Corey Vaow, some weeks ago, succceded Gus Selin at the jall. ) Fight for Offieinl Place. GLENWOOD, Ia., Jan. 6.—(Speclal)— When the, Board of Supervisors met to orsanize for the new year, Mr. F. H. Nipp of Mineola, who claims to have been elected in 1908 to take his seat January 1, 1910, was on hand to demand his seat, but In view of the fact that the district court had decided that J. D. Robbins, who claimed to have been elccted al the same time to take his seat January 1, 199, was not legally elected, the chalrman of the board, 8. W. Creech, declined to recognize Mr. Nipp as & member, and considerable discussion followed. Mr, Brandi, whose term was to expire January 1, 1910, re- «aualified for the offico and was recognized by Mr. Creech, th: chalrman, and after conslderablo argument the board pro- ceeded to its regular business. The case of Mr. Robbins is now In the supreme court, and will likely be heard at the March term of this year. The wholo controversy grows cut of the recent county scat fight, when { Malvern tried to have the county seat moved to that place. Wedding Announcement.

BEATS ALL LOCAL RECORDS Chieago Price, $8.60, Best, Save Once, Since the Civil War—Big Slump in Packing House Re- celpt All known records of the price of hogs were broken at South Omaha yesterday when $8.57% was paid. This was not a single case, but the whole market was up to the extreme record. Frank Vofel of Richfield sold seventy- one hogs, averaging 280 pounds, for $8.57%, which is 2% cents below the high mark for this section of the country, a record made & few days ago at Kansas City. Many loads sold. as high as $8.5. 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 iv) fect been 8o rigorous, that shipments from the north- ern states have been vastly lessened. The record for the first three days of the new year shows & large decrease over the same period last year. Along with the jump in ho livestock boomed. Cattle sold up to Sheep and lambs went as high as $5. Shipments were light. , Nearly Record at Chica CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—Hogs sold here today at $8.60, which, with the exception of tho summer of 1882, is the highest average price recorded locally since the civil war. A few of the best grades sold at $5.75. Bx- ceplionally light receipts of live hogs at the leading western packing centers to- day, following a long perlod of simllar scarcity, was the moving factor in the ad- vance, all other 6.60.

CANSO, N. 8., Jan. 6.—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 aimost certainly to have becn lost, and the remaining twenty-elght already are being mourned, thelr chance for escape being regarded as small. The fleet from Canso and from Petite de Grat, about nine miles away, wero also caught in the storm, but escaped by skilled boatmanship. The storm Tucsday 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-mile-an-hour wind was transferred into a gale, the tem- perature fell many degroes and thiok 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, trostbitten 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 sall 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.
