KILLED BY ZELAYA'S ORDERS FOR EXPRESSING JOY AT
 INSURGENT VICTORY.
SHIP INFORMS SAN FRANCISCO
Zelaya Exceeds Rights in Cannon and Groce Cases-Fourteen Years Ia Heaviest Penalty
 Authorized.

San Francisco, Cal-The steam CT City of Para which arrived here Wednesday from Central American ports, brought a report that forty cit izens of Corinto were shot to death re- gently by order of President Zelaya for having cheered the news of an in- surgent victory.
 The town of Corinto was under a heavy guard while the City of Para was there and her passengers made no attempt to go ashore.
 communication from President Fuguera, of Salvador, was received Wednesday by E. Mejia, Salvadorean consul general in this city, denying that trouble existed there. Reports of disturbances, the president said, were based on the fact that a number of cit izens had conceived the idea of organ izing in Nicaragua force to invade Salvador. These malcontents, how ever, were arrested in Honduras, where they are being held.
 New Orleans, La-The secret agents
 
 of Juan J. Estrada, provisional president of Nicaragua, are said to be seeking Juan Delphas in New Orleans, Delphas, it is declared, tipped off the plans of the revolutionists to Presi- dent Zelaya. As result it was neces- sary to begin the uprising As hours be- fore the revolutionists had planned to begin their attack on the government.
 Members of the Central American colony here refuse to discuss the case, but it is declared Delphas, who was here, has fled.
 Consul General Sussman Of the Els trada government announced that lawyers who have looked up the inter- national law points involved in the all legged offenses of Cannon and Groce. who were executed at Zelaya's order, make 14 years the severest penalty that could have been inflicted legally. This is a provision of the Nicaraguan constitution, lawyers say. Sussman will notify the state department of the result of his findings.
 Cannon gained the lasting enmity of President Zelaya, according to state ment made by J. L. Mather of Mem phis by the part he played in the war between Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador in 1904.

Some say that this is because Zela-
va is neither as strong man or as
clever man as Barrios. Barrios be-
gan his rule by having a dozen dis.
turbers of the public peace and Sc
curity taken out in the public plaza
and shot That ended the matter.
There were no more disturbers of the
public peace and security, and there
were no more public executions. But
Zelaya, it seems, has had to keep up
the execution of his fellow-citizens all
along throughout his 16 years of occu-
patton Of the presidential chair.
AS to his having converted the Mo-
hammed's Paradise into country of
comparative activity there can be no
doubt. In this respect he has done
precisely what Barrios did in Guate-
mala.
He has shaken the Indian out of his
lethargic state and made him work or
go into the army, or both. With his
labor he has strung telegraph lines all
over the country, herded cattle and
planted coffee, and whenever his army
needed strengthening or there was a

mortallyswounded. In tho very act Of
leading his army to victory.
Young Zelaya was not only q stanch
admirer OF old Barrios. as he is affec-
tionately remembered, but he believed
in him and his methods of government.
AS he rode by the side OF him to that
fatal battlefield of ,Chalchuapa he ex-
pected to continue with him across
Salvador and Honduras into his own
country, where he would see the prin-
ciple for which he had stood and for
which he had been exiled, thoroughly
established. But with the fall of Bar
rios the army which he was leading
fled. Zelaya returned to Guatemala,
where he received promotion for
bravery on the field, and there he con-
tinued in the army of Guatemala until
the opportune moment arrived, when
he threw up his commission and dis
appeared.
1t yas in the early '9Os that he re-
appeared in his own country leading
band OF insurgents against the gov
eminent. He met with success from
the very commencement of his cam
paign, and it was not long before he
landed in that ultimate goal of all
successful revolutionary leaders, the
presidential chair.
There is an old saying in Central
America to the effect that in dealing
with your Interiors you must hold
out piece OF bread to them in one
hand while you grasp a club in the
other. This is very much the principle
upon which Zelaya has maintained his
rule In Nicaragua. He offers his people
bread with one hand, and when they
are not satisfied they get the club.
When one sees the characterization

to the end, and it is this military
strength that keeps the despot in pow
er in face of all the hatred and opposi-
ton which may be brought against
him.
Zelaya learned the power of this
stupid military force as an officer in
the army of Guatemala under Barrios,
and he has made good use of it, al
though he has not succeeded in per-
fecting its use SO thoroughly as old
man Barrios did, for he has had many

with the result that he was thrown
out. In other words, he was exiled.
He sought refuge in Guatemala, then
ruled by J. Rufino Barrios, the first of
the stern liberal rulers of the Portfirio
Diaz type.
No country was ever more complete
ly organized under military rule than
was the little republic of Guatemala
at that time. Barrios had not only re-
organized very much dilapidated
army, but he had virtually created a
new one. He had stationed garrisons

and thus he had established peace in

exile from Nicaragua, sought and OBJ

be troublesome republic
Barrios, the strong man of Central
America, had his life's ambition ever
before him. and that was the uniica-
/ ton of the five Central American re-
publics. 1t was this ambition that led
to his undoing, for one brigh. morning
in February 1885, a proclamation an
peared nailed upon the door of the
capitol, and upon the doors of the
cabildos, or town halls, throughout the
republic announcing that he had uni
ted the i've republics, and for fear
that some of them or all of them
might see fit to disunite he was at the
head of an army of 10000 well-discip-
lined troops marching to the first and
strongest one of them, San Salvador.
1t is said that a similar proclamation
appeared on that same morning on
the breakfast table of each of the
presidents of each of the other four
republics informing them that thew
had been united, or annexed, as thew
claimed.
However, marching with Barrios at
the head of that army of 10000. the
grandest army Central America had
ever seen, was the young lieutenant
and exile, Jose Santos Zelaya. But
Salvador did not propose to be either
united or annexed, and Barrios. the
greatest president undoubtedly whom
| any of those turbulent little republics
have ever known, rode to his death.
He fell upon the plains of Chalchuapa.

! 1t is frequently stated, and with q
good deal of truth, that there Is never
more than one political party in Cen
trail America, and that is the party in
power. But as matter of fact, there
| is and always has been. been two we'll
defined political parties. There are
the conservatives on one side and the
| liberals on the other. The reason for
its being stated that there Is only one
political party is the fact that which
ever party is in power maintains its
despotic sway to such an extent that
no opposition does show itself in any
form whatsoever. Sometimes there is
pretense of having an election, but
such an election is more than farce
for, should any misguided element of
the population or section of the coun-
try be beguiled into believing that
they were going to be allowed to vote

Davila tell him to go to the devil after

NURSING AS A PROFESSION.


Chamberlain, s. D.-The trained
nurse has come to stay. The busy
physician who can not spend but an
hour or less with his patients has
come to depend on trained nurses to
carry out his directions and to attend
constantly to the patients needs and
to make accurate report of the same
to him. With the assistance Of the
trained nurse the physician is able
to use modern methods Of massage,
hydrotherapy, and other scientific
measures that give him marvellous re-
suits in the relief of his patients. The
trained nurse is displacing the prac-
tical nurse very rapidly and already
large number of States require a
nurse to graduate from a recognized
school and pass the State examination
the same as the physician in order to
practice her profession. This gives
protection to the trained nurse, but in
greater measure protects the pa
tent.
The people of South Dakota want
the very best and the graduate nurse
who is faithful can always keep busy.
Twelve nurses graduated in August
from the Chamberlain Sanitarium
Nurses Training School and all are
now engaged in lucrative Positions
and the demand exceeds the supply.
This school offers many advantages
over the ordinary Hospital school, as
the Course includes thirty-five studies
bearing directly on the nursing pro-
fession besides the practical care of
all kinds of cases. Those admitted
to the school are persons with ability
and can make success of the work.
Nine instructors make this school
equal to any and superior to majori-
ty of training schools for nurses.
Massage, hydrotherapy, laboratory
analyses and electricity are given in
addition to what can be learned in the
best hospital training school.
This fits the nurse to care for all
kinds Of medical cases as well as
those needing surgical attention. Con-
sequently, the sanitarium Training
School for Nurses has a wide field
for practice and graduates are inval-
liable to the physician who is using
modern methods in his practice
The course extends over period of
three years and an average of four
teen recitations and demonstrations
are given each week. A large number
of both medical and surgical cases
come to the Sanitarium and this gives
an exceptional advantage to those
wishing to receive nurses training.
Over two thousand cases have been
treated in the institution during it's
first two years Of work The large ad-
ditions that are now being constructed
will give more room for patients and
greater facilities. The Chamberlain
Sanitarium Training School bids fair
to become the largest school in the
Northwest.
