PROHIBITION IN IOWA.

How the Old Thing Works-Almost q Dead
Letter In the River Towns But the Law
Generally Observed in the Interior-The
Prohibitionists ResoIuteiy Determined tn
| Enforce the Public Will-The Old Handz
Getting Used to 1t.
| CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, July 16.
After ten days of prohibition in Iowa
about eight-tenths of the saloons are still
| open, dispensing (mum) reform pap and
other Misunderstanding beverages. One
ten thare closed and the remainder are SELL
Ing in defiance of the law. This latter state
OF affairs exists in the river towns where
the temperance workers are obliged to
combat public sentiment, yet the dis
position on the part of the Prohibitions
lists to enforce the lew everywhere and un-
der all circumstances has become mani
fest, and they announce their determine
ton to deal summarily with open yio-
lators, while q corps of spoilers are at
work where ground for suspicion of se-
cret selling exists. In the interior of the
State the law Is very generally observed.
An examination of the police records of
this city for Che past six months revealed
the fact that prior to the 4th of July, the
day on which the new law went into
effect, the daily average of 'drunks"
picked up was seven. Since the 4th but
two arrests have been made for drunken
ness, though the police, fearing lest they
might become like Othello, have skir-
mished with zeal. A man who had not
drawn sober breath for year until the
supply of liquor was cut off ten days
since said yesterday he had tasted no
spirits since, and was fast clear
ing his system of alcohol. "Devil-
ish nervous was at first"
he SAID, ssand I thought of
leaving the State. But I'm getting used
to it now and am beginning to feel like
a new man. In this city of l8, 900 people
one can not buy glass of lager or a drop
of spirits. The druggists stand on their
refuse to make application for permits,
and it is really fact that liquor can not
De obtained from any source excepting
from physicians, who fill their own pre-
ScrIpti0nS. This action on the part of
the druggists is founded on the hope that
the public may become disguised with
the law and demand its repeal,
and murmurs are beginning to be
heard. The prohibition legislation, which
has wiped out of existence the breweries
and beer sellers of the State, and made
life monotonous to the druggist, is cred
tied to the Republican party, and the COM
ing election it is expected will show the
resentment of the foreign element at least.
Heretofore the German vote in Iowa has
been almost solidly Republican. The
State numbers among its population thou
sands of Bohemian voters, a proportion
of whom have cast their ballot for Repub-
iican candidates in the past. Now it is
said the Germans and BOhemiaDS will
vote Democratic to man in the future,
and the result will be the election of
Democratic Congres smen and members
of the Legislature in some instances, and
the close clipping of the big Republican
State majority,

HURLED TO DEATH.

A Collector on the st. Louis Bridge Struck
by q Train and Hurled Into the River
Below-A Gallant But Intellectual Struggle
for Life.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 16.
This morning an accident occur
red at the big bridge which resulted In
the death of a bridge collector amid cir
cumstances exciting and dramatic. 1t
appears that Charles Putty, who has been
eight years in the service of the company,
had made his last trip across the bridge,
collecting fares from outgoing passenger
trains, and had started to return on foot.
He had only reached the center of the
first arch on the east side when he en-
for Kansas City. He stepped quickly
aside and stood still, but it is thought
protruding step of the mail car struck
him, for the next instant he was
LIFTED INTO THE AIR
and hurled into the water. The terrible
spectacle was witnessed by many per-
sons on both sides, but no assistance
could reach him. The man struck the
water with great force and disappeared
N the splashing waves. Everybody pre-
sumed he had met instantaneous death,
but moment later Putty rose to the sur
face long distance below and struck
out manfuify to save himself. Those who
saw him battling with desperation for his
life sent out cheer after cheer of encour-
agement, while several ran to the ferry
boat fordid. The boat acted as promptly
Is possible, but it
COULD NOT REACH HIM.
Putty sustained himself for nearly 200
yards, swimming and floating with the
current, and it was evident he had once
been a powerful swimmer. But the
double shock of his collision with the
train and the water had consumed his
strength, and before the ferryboat got in
helping distance he threw up his hands
and disappeared. Putty resided at 1911
Lami street, and leaves wife and four
children. He was member of the A. O.
D. W., and faithful employee. A reward
Of 500 is offered for the recovery of the

A robbery was committed at Mitcheps
Station Tuesday night under atrocious cir
cumstances. Frank Somerville, of Somer-
Vile & Co., returning from the county

and bound and told to keep himself COM
Portable Afterward he was taken to the
cellar and fastened to the floor, his
clothes removed and his legs tarred. The
thieves then went through the store, blew
open the safe and got 81, 800 in money.
They also took $500 worth of goods, but
overlooked a package of 800. After
they had finished they drove off in Som.
yille's buggy. Somerville was found un-
conscious yesterday morning at eight
O'Clock.
