COUNTY DOCTOR
To LOSE JOB

1t was given out at the court
house today that one of the first
actions of the new board of COM
missioners will be to compel the
county physician. DR.. Morrison, to
walk the plank"
The failure of DR.. Morrison on
the question of rendering aid to
deserving poor or unfortunate per-
sons is said to have caused the
new commissioners to at once
come to the conclusion that DR..
Morrison would have to go.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. o.
Mr.. Taft's election will result in
the following changes in the
cabinet:
Those who will retire: Secretary
Metcalf of the navy department,
Secretary Root of the state depart
ment, Secretary Cortelyou of the
treasury, Attorney General Bona
parte, and possibly Secretary
Straus of the department of COM
merce and labor.
The following are certain to be
in the next cabinet: Secretary
Wilson continuing as head of the
department of agriculture, Secre-
tary Garfield continuing at the
head of the interior department,
Frank H. Hitchcock to be post
master general. Luke Wright as
secretary of war.
While the matter has not been
definitely decided there is a proba-
bility that Postmaster General
Meyer will be transferred to the
treasury and that George b. Cor
telyou will accept~a business offer
in New York. 1t is understood that
Attorney General Bonaparte has
had enough of official life, and de-
sires to return to his, law practice
and social duties in Baltimore.
President Taft will not place any
distractions in his way.
The veteran head of the agricul
tural department has already been
asked to be a member of the Taft
cabinet. Mr.. Wilson will have
served IL years next March, and il
he continues his service into the
Taft administration he will break
all records for length of cabinet
service. Albert Gallatin served as
secretary of the treasury from 1901
to 1918, which has been the longest
service thus far recorded. Secre-
tary Wilson has already been at
the head of his department more
years than all his predecessors
combined. He is fond of the work,
is vigorous in body and mind and
is on friendly terms with Mr..
Taft.
Truman H. Newberry of Detroit
has been very favorably considered
for secretary of the navy. He is
now assistant secretary and for a
number of mnoths has been prac-
tically at the head of this portfolio.
Secretary Metcalf has spent con-
siderable time in California, and
1t is understood is willing to re-
turn to his law office in Oakland.
It is reported that he has not
been close to the administration
during the last year of his service,
and all important matters connect
. ed with the navy department have
been taken up with Mr.. Newberry.
Elihu Root has been asked by
Mr.. Taft to remain in the cabinet,
and 1t is barely possible that he
will do so; but advancing years
and sense of disappointment that
he was not chosen by President
Roosevelt for the succession COM
bine to make him feel that he does
not care to devote his labors
further to this Office. He has a
good law practice in New York
and likes living In that city.
1t is uncertain whether Secretary
Oscar s. Straus will be asked to
remain In the Taft cabinet. The
appointment was personal with
Roosevelt, and the same reasons
which brought 1t about would not
necessarily continue. 1t is recog.
nized that President Taft has his
own friends to recognize and to

YOUNG GIRL AND LITTLE
SISTER EITHER DEAD on.
HIDDEN OUTSIDE STATE
Court Again Vainly Commands Presence 81
Mcdonald Children.

Another mystery that may d.
vulge tragedy pitiful in the ex-
IRENE, confronts both county and
city officers in the disappearance
of Madeline Mcdonald, age 16, and
her sister Lois, age seven.
This morning the girl and child
failed to appear in the superior
court as commanded by Judge
Sullivan and the belief that she
had thrown herself and little sister
in the river rather than incur a
possibility that her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. George Nc
Donald, be again given charge of
the child, is assuming more and
more the aspects of certainty.
The most disturbing indication
Of this is remark the girl made
to her friend, Mrs. Pickard, E24
Nora avenue on the night of her
disappearance.
II was just passing the river
and saw how peaceful it looked.
That nurse that drowned herself
there did not have half the trou-
BILE. that l have" she said
The next day the letters contain
ing the threat as to drowning in
the river came.
Madeline and her little sister
disappeared last Wednesday night
from the Dexter hotel in Spokane,
where Lois Mcdonald had been
making her home with her uncle
and custodian, ]. M. Mcdonald, the
attorney. The following day let
tiers were received from Madeline
Mcdonald by Judge Sullivan, who
has the case in hand, and T. A.
Weinke, the attorney and guardian
of Lois Mcdonald, in which Made
line stated that she would drown
herself and her little sister in the
river rather than have the little
one again fall into the hands of
her parents, whom she regards as
being morally unfit to have the
child.
The case came up in Judge Sui
livan's court on a petition by Mr..
and Mrs. George Mcdonald, par
ents of Madeline and Lois Melon
aid, for an order modifying a de-
cree of divorce in which the Gus
tody of Lois had been taken out
of their hands when a divorce was
granted, and placed with a guard
ian. The couple having remarked,
they had instituted proceedings by
Attorney Stern to recover posses
sion of their younger daughter.
The court ordered the child
brought before him.
When the case was first called, a
week ago today, it was postponed
until Wednesday because of the
fact that Mrs. j. M. Mcdonald and
her niece, Lois Mcdonald, were
out of the city. On Wednesday the
little girl was still absent because
of the failure of Mrs. Mcdonald to
return, SO the hearing was post
poned until the following morning.
During the night the disappear
ance Of the two children took
place and since then all has been
trouble and confusion for those con-
nected with the case.
Counsel for George Mcdonald
and wife blamed the guardian and
J. NJ. Mcdonald with completely in
the disappearance of the children,
and last Friday, on the initiative
of Attorney Stern, Weinke, the
guardian, and ]. M. Mcdonald, the
uncle and custodian Of the child,
were arrested for kidnapping and
hailed before Judge Sullivan for
contempt of court.
Both men have given bond in
the kidnapping case in police court
and were arraigned Saturday be-

Not an empty room in the First
ward available for registration pur-
poses was the condition that con-
fronted City Clerk Derby when he went
to select quartees for registration
boards. This is pretty good indica-
ton Of business conditions in Mar
shalltown. A new building, as yet I'M
finished, was engaged, but because Of
a lack of workmen, and the fact that
it was not done as soon as expected,
compelled the authorities to rent space
in an occupied building.
Marshalltown has entertained a fine
gathering Of people this week in the
persons Of the Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs Of Iowa Not only was the
gathering superior one in every way,
but a large one-in fact, the largest
representation in convention of any
secret fraternity in the state. From
all that can be heard the visitors en-
joyed themselves despite the adverse
weather conditions. The spirit of the
city showed them thrice welcome. and
their sisters and brothers in Odd Fell

them the hospitality for which Mar
