stand is a question.
The three men who claim to be the
leaders OF and to speak for the lib
oral party are EspinOsa, now in Costa
Rlcd; DR.. Julian ITias and Jose Do
lores Gomez. The latter was once
the strong arm of Zelaya and his
foreign secretary and during Zelaya's
rule waXed wealthy. Failing out with
Zelaya, he Joined hands with Estrada,
Only to be eXiied by the latter when
the revolutiOnists triumphed because
OF his former liberal sympathies.
Gomez owned the most beautiful
home in Managua. The place is now
leased as the American legation and
part of Mr.. Knox's party lodged
there while the secretary was in Man.
aqua. Gomez is living in San Saliva
dor with his two sons, who were edu-
Gated in the United States and five
daughters, who were educated in
Europe. He hopes to return to Mic
aragua when the present administra-
ton is overturned, as he thinks it
will be. Recently he issued a mani
festO saying that the liberals were
not -inimical to Mr.. Knox or the Unit
ed States of America and would con-
sent to entering the United States as
a state or agree to a Central Ameri-
can union. Meantime he asks the
secretary to use his good offices to
bring about a popular and fair cleo
ton in Nicaragua, which he insists

DR.. Charles E. DOnahOO

Many counties in the state Of Illi-
nCis-Gud other states too-have
found IT an economy 20 elect a ply
Stefan 10 the Office of coroner. IL
costs the county about $50 TO hold
an inquest and wherever there is a
death without and attending physician
who can certify to its cause. IT is nee
cssary to hold an inquest-unless the
coroner is physician himself. In
that case, If there are no suspicious
circumstances in connection with the
case. he can. in many cases, upon ex-
aminatiC-. ascertain the cause OF
death. There is also a saving in case
an autopsy Is necessary. The ordi-
nary fee Of practicing physician for
makinE post norton examination
is not less than $25. In case such
an examination is necessary the cor
oner. should he be a physician. would
be compelled 10 make Il for his reg
ular fee in case of an inquest, $40.
For these reasons the Cook County
Medical society recommended that a
physician be elected to the Office of
coroner, and since then this rule has

DR.. Donahoo is a native of this
county and has been in the practice
of his profession for the last 10 years.
He was born in Yuma township and
reared in the upper end of the coun-
ty. After he was graduated from
the Drake Medical college he entered
the practice and until two years ago
had his office at Hillsdale. Two
years ago he removed to East Moline,
where there was a larger and grow
ing field and has made a reputation
for himself. He belongs to one of
the most widely known and highly
respected families of the upper end
of the county, and though they have
always been ardent republicans have
never held or asked for a public Of
fee. Then, too, the people of the
upper end feel that they are entitled
TO recognition, only one county Off
cial coming from that section.
Dr. Donahoo is an active, aggres-
sive young man who will look after
the duties of the Office with care and
ability.

A DANGEROUS Dive,

In his "reminiscences of fifty years Of
naval life Admiral Kennedy tells this:
IAN absurd adventure happened to two
of our men at the opera. They were in
the gallery and were both considerably
the worse for liquor. when one of them
fell over the railing into the pit. His
chum. under the impression that he
had fallen overheard. took off his coat
and dived after him. Wonderful to re-
late, neither of them was killed. One
broke his leg. the other was unhurt."

CATTLE May
SUFFER MUCH
ON RANGE
Unless Snow Melts Rapidly in East
ern Weld County hange Stock
Will Fare BADLY

Kersey, Feb. 29.-According to
DR.. Merrill government stock in
spector, cattle will suffer badly on
the ranges of eastern Weld county
unless the snow melts rapidly, en-
abling them to get the pasture un-
derneath, very poor at best The
previous storm covered the plains
with thin coating OF ice and for
several days the cattle have been
practically without food. DR.. Mer-
rill estimates that there are about
1000 head of range cattle between
here and the Wyoming state line
and east of the Burlington railroad
in DR.. Merrill's district. This, OF
course, does not include cattle fed
on the ranches of which there are
more than the foregoing number.
Cattle in this district are now so
free from scabies that the quaran-
tine which has been kept on them
for several years will be lifted after
they are inspected and a few sus-
poets dipped this spring DR.. Mer-
rill has been offered the position OF
government inspector in the Kansas
City district and also in Rawlins
and Laramie, Wyo., but has not de-
ciced If he will accept either.

TO Vote AGAIN
ON WATERWORkS

Milliken, Feb. 29.--At a special
meeting OF the town board last
night it was decided to re-submit
the question of water works for the
town at the town election in April.
This matter was voted and carried
last year but a question arose as to
the regularity of all matters con-
nected with the election. Suit was
filed in the county court alleging ir-
regularity and while this was dis
missed and 1t was held the election
was valid the town board decided
to call the second election. There
is no doubt but what the water
works question will carry and the
plant be installed this spring. The
artesian wells in the town will furn-
ish the supply.

TWO men
SWINDLE
RUSSIANS
REPRESENT THEMSELVES AS
EYE INSPECTORS OF GOVERN
MENT AND SELL GLASSES ALL
OVER GREELEY

Nearly every Russian resident Of
the city is wearing eye glasses or
has a pair stored away somewhere
as a result of the visit of two
smooth young men representing
themselves as government eye in
spectors. The pair have left for
parts unknown, leaving broad
trail of spectacles and desire on
the part of the police to locate
them.
The method of the two was sim
ole and effecti?e. One of them calf
ed at eve.y house in the Rdss.an
colony and ,'opre3anted hiinsclf as
a government eye inspector. He
found that nearly every member of
tie colony he examined needed
glasses to remedy defects in vision
taht he found. 1t was extremely
fortunate, he explained, that he and
his partner We're provided with the
very best sort of glasses needed,
which they would sell to those
needing them.
The two men did land office
business for several days in Greeley
and it is presumed that they are
reaping a harvest somewhere else
now 1t was easy for them to con-
vince the Russians that they were
government officials and easier to
make the sale of glasses to the fami-
lies they convinced would get in
| bad with Uncle Sam if they didn't
provide all hands with specs.
The police were notified by Henry
Baab, to whom some of the Rus
slams told the circumstances of the
government inspection and the sub
seauent purchase. A search made
for the men disclosed that they had
left the city after selling many
pairs of eye glasses of all sorts most
of which are the cheapest make.
