How Prohibition Works.

Iowa CITY, August 13.-The city is
in the midst of great excitement to-
night. The streets are crowded with
people. The fear Of violence %pervades
all good citizens. This afternoon at a
trial of two brewers of this city before a
justice of the peace in a township near
| by, a mob OF two hundred thugs attack
ed the prosecuting lawyer, named w.
H. Bayley, stripped his clothes off, and
tarred him. His life was narrowly
spared by a deputy sheriff. The mob.
many Of them crazed by drink, tried to
catch the principal witness, named
SWafford, and would have hanged him
had they found him. A constable was
| severely cut with knives, and roughs
came to town this evening and for an
hour had possession of the streets, the
sheriff IS force and the city police being
powerless. After supper they found
| bWafford and knocked him and his
brother down on the street. The mob
would have killed SWafford, had the
Latter not been secreted in a store. A
meeting of citizens has been held and
the outrages vigorously condemned.
Special police have been appointed for
the night. The best people Of all parties
are urging obedience to the laws. War
rants have been issued for their arrest.
9 D. m.-The city has quieted down
and fears of further trouble are dispelled.
1t is now known that a half dozen Iowa
City roughs were reinforced by a large
body of thugs from the outside and that
all such suspicious characters have since
| left town.

THE amount of excitement which the
rumored report of c~annibalism among
the Greedy party is creating in the coun-
try seems to be entirely unnecessary.
After all the investigation and proving
of the fact, what can be done? People
placed under similar circumstances have
resorted to this means of preserving life
in the past, and it is probable it will be
repeated in the future. The old law of
self-preservation is inherent in all of us,
and were we offered the alternative of
death or life under the circumstances
which have attended the Greedy party
we would all do as they are said to have
done. Investigation is Of no possible
benefit, except to crafty the morbid
curiosity of a few.

Klsllngbury's Body Exhumed,

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, August 14-The
most heartrending disclosures were
made in this city this morning regard
ing the remains of Lieut.. K~islingbury,
of the Artic expedition, who died amid
the Attic SHOWS last June. 1t is estab-
lished beyond all question that canni-
balism was resorted to by the starving
men Of the Greedy party, and shows
that the lives OF those saved were pre-
served only by eating the dead bodies OF
their companions. Lieut. Kislingbury's
relatives here were filled with horrible
doubts as soon as they learned that dis
closures had been made in New York
regarding cannibalism among the mem
beIs of the expedition, and they deter
mined to learn the truth by eXhuming
the remains and having them examined
by competent physicians. The services
of l.. A. Jeffrey, ali undertaken, were
secured and this morning, with the
assistance of five men, he accomplished
the work of taking up the casket from
its resting place. When the lid was
removed much trouble was experienced
in taking off the wrappings from the
body, but finally the blackened, fieshles S
face was seed, showing marks OF Arctic
soil, and bore no senlblance to the dead
man. The skin was dried to the skull,
and the sightless sockets and half-opened
mouth gave the dead man a look of
mute, appealing agony. The remains
were completely identified as those Of
Lieut.. KislingDury. The physicians
made a thorough examination and the
remains were then placed back in
the casket and lowered into the grave.
Returning to the city the doctors made
affidavit that certain portions OF the
body had been removed by some sharp
instrument, and that all the extremities
were attached to the body by ligaments
only that the flesh Of the hands and
face showed no signs Of decomposition.

A SUIT For Libel.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August A.-On
the 8th inst. the Sentinel (dem.) of this
city contained an editorial charging that
Blaine had seduced his present wife in
Kentucky and then fled to Maine, where
the young and her father fol-
lowed him, and that he married her at
the point of a shotgun. This having
reached MI. Blaine, he t~elegraphed Col.
Holloway, of the Times, that the state
ment was maliciously and UNANIMOUSLY
false in every particular. Political SLAM
ders, he says, he pays no attention to,
but this, attacking the honor of his wife
and children, cannot be submitted to.
Holloway was asked to secure the SER
vices of lawyers at once and bring suit
against the responsible publisher of the
Sentinel. Col. Holloway has placed the
matter in the hands of Senator Harri-
sons law firm, and rapersare now IN
course Of preparation in accordance
with Blaine's direction.
The following is the text Of Blaine'e
dispatch to Holloway:
BAR HARBoR, Me-, August 14.-Io
Col. A. r.. HoNoWdy: | have this mo-
ment received the atrocious libel Of the
Indianapolis Sentinel. 1t is utterly and
abominably false in every statement and
in every implication. Political SANDERS
[ do not stoop to notice, but this editor
assails the honor Of my wife and chill
dren. | desire you without an hours
delay to employ the proper attorney and
have the responsible publisher of the
Sentinel sued for libel in the United
States district court of Indiana. 1t is
my only remedy. | am sure that hon
orable democrats. alike with honorable
republicans, will justify me in defend
ing the honor Of my family, if need be
by nv life. JAMES g. BLAINE.

NEW YORK Sun: Mr.. Cleveland
was nominated not because the demo-
Gratis wanted him, but because the bolt
ing republicans wanted him and their
promise outWeighed the certainty that
his nomination would disrupt the demo-
cracy. That disruption has come, and
10Y the only question is whether the
votes of the republican recruits will
equal those of the democratic boilers.
But that is apart from u present in
curry. What we insist upon is that,
Mr.. C::aveland's ~incapacity and selfish
ness as a public officer, his election
would work greater and more lasting
mischief to the party than all the harm
that could ensue in consequence OF his
defeat.

THE REWARD OF MERIT.

An old periodical or pamphlet pub
lished in Vermont in 1895 and called
the vermont Almanac and Register
for the Year 1885," contains among 9TH
er things "a Chapter OH Electioneer.
ing" The chapter is full of pungent
truths, and we quote the following as
equally true of to-day as of then: "That
which ought to engage the votes of the
people is either eminent services, emf
nent abilities, or eminent virtues. The
first of these, eminent services, seems
to be the surest ground to go upon
for when a man has already performed
eminent services to his country, it is the
strongest indication the subject will adj
nit of that such a man has good abilities
and that he is disposed to be useful to
his fellow men. And this is that which
most of all prevails with the people;
they either do, or aim to, select such for
their most important offices, and in
aiming to do this. the multitude, GER
tainly, must act nationally and philo-
sophically. What the people are look
ing for is men who have performed
eminent services and are men of emf
nent ability. And they cannot act with
more philosophy and wisdom than to
distinguish those in their elections who
were before distinguished by eminent
qualifications"
Applying this test to the candidates
before the country to-day for election to
the presidency, and what would be the
result? Would Cleveland be selected in
preference to Blaine, or even Butler, for
his eminent services? Is the eminent
ability of MI. Cleveland SO conspicuous
and manifest as to admit Of no uncer-
tain sound, to say nothing of his emf
nent virtues? The difference in the
ages of Blaine and Cleveland is not so
great, and yet for nearly twenty years
past Blaine has stood before the people
as a leader of men, a thinker of rare
power, a statesman Of acknowledged
ability. But what of Cleveland during
all this time? For the past two years
only has he had a national reputation,
due to his large majority V Folger in
New York state. They tell us that he
made a good sheriff, a good mayor and a
good governor. Thousands of men have
made equally as good before. No word
of his has been added to the political
literature of the land, no thought has
served to enlighten the mighty ques-
tions of the past decade. Truly, as Col.
Villas said when officially notifying
Cleveland of his nomination, "The ma
tional democracy seek a president, not
in compliment for what the mar is or
reward for what he has done, but in just
expectation Of what he will accom-

THE new state house at St. Paul,
which has been reported unsafe, has
been examined by Gov. Hubbard and
the architect, Mr.. Burlington. The
alarm was created by the cracking of
the ceiling, which had been caused by
the s%hrinkage of the girders and timbers
in the roof. Mr.. Burlington says the
building will last as long as Minnesota
will need a capitol.

THE PARK.

We are glad to see that Gov. Crosby
is taking a lively interest in the enforce
mont Of the game laws in the National
park. The superintendent of the park
has proved himself utterly incapable of
restraining this laWlessness. In fact, so
far as we are able to learn, he has not
exerted himself in any way to restrain
the wanton destruction of game therein.
Large parties, not only American citi-
zens, but also Of foreigners, have fire.
quently gone into the park, fully armed
and equipped, and with the avowed in
tention Of hunting and fishing. The
hotels in the park have been constantly
supplied with game of all kinds, and
parties camped there have Toasted on
steaks of yenison and other large game,
and this under the eyes of the superin-
tendent and his employees.
1t was a wise legislation that set aside
the park as a pleasure resort for the ben
eft and enjoyment of the people, and it
was q wise legislation that prohibited
the slaughter Of game within its bor-
ders, and we trust this evil may be abat-
ed, and that the park may become as
was the intention of congress, the rem
devious of game, where they may feed
in peaceful security.
But we trust the vigilance of the ex-
ecutive will not stop there. The statute
also makes it the duty of the secretary
of the interior to make all regulations
needful for the preservation from injury
of the timber, natural curiosities and
wonders within the park, and their re-
tention in their natural condition The

MEDICAL USE OF LEMoNs.-The
way to get the better of the bilious
system without blue pills or quinine
is to take the JUICE of one, two or
three lemons, as appetite Graves, in
as much ice water as makes il pleas
ant to drink without sugar, before
going to bed. In the morning or ris-
ing, at least half an hour before a
breakfast, take the juice of one lemon
in a goblet of water. This will clear
the system of humor and bile with
efficiency, without any of the weak
ening of calomel or Congress water.
People should not irritate the stom-
ach by eating lemons clear the pow
erful acid of the Juice, which is al
ways most corrosive, invariably pro-
duces inflammation after a while but
properly diluted so that it does not
burn or draw the throat it does its
medical work without harm, and
when the stomach is clear of food has
abundant opportunity to work over
the system thoroughly.

A CRICK IN THE BACK.

LII there is one thing we know more
about than another, it is a crick in
the back. and on the other hand, if
there is one thing we know less
about, it is the same crick in the
back. That is, we experience its
beauties and know nothing of its or
lgin, and nothing will prevent it when
it is due. A man may chop wood,
shovel snow, drive pair of pulling
horses, exercise with dumb-bells, 90
through gymnasium and try all the
appliances for developing muscle,
and expect every minute that his
back will break, and it win be all
right. And yet some day he will be
putting on his ovrceoat, or will reach
across his desk for photograph of
his girl, or pick ups paper off the
floor, and the crick catches him. and
he is as limp as a rag, and
suffers horror for two days, every
breath he draws seeming to 90 right
through that crick. When a large
healthy man has a crlck in the back
he realizes what a weak puny thing
ne is. Before the arrival of the crick
he admires himself in the glass be-
fore retiring, as he looks at his mus
Gle, and almost wishes somebody
would pitch on to him to whip him,
when he could wade in and maui the
filling out of his antagonist. He Of
ten looks up in an impudent manner
to a tough as though he wished for
an excuse to thump him, and if
lady was insulted in his presence he
feels that he would make hero of
himself in her defense. He wants
something to occur that will give him
an opportunity to show that though
he is confined in an office, and does
no hard work, that he is endowed
with herculean strength, and it
would be mighty unsafe for an or 9
dinary man to tackle him. But
when the crick is due by schedule
time, and shows upon his back, the
great, powerful man is perfect ba-
by, and hebis afraid of a child on
handsled. 1t is then that he hunts
up an old revolver and carries it,
when he goes down town nights, for
fear he will be assaulted. Before
the erick arrives he just aches to
have sand-baggers and feot-pads at
tack him, and as he walks along he
picks out places where he would
knock sand-baggers down, and in
his mind he has them corded up all
along the streets, but after the crick
comes, living skeleton with link
of sausage could drive him all over
San.

Her method is to stand erect and
then raise herself until her heels leave
the floor, leaving her full weight on
the balls of the feet. Another mus
cle-developing move is to bend the
knees as far as possible without lift
the heels from the floor. A third
method is to get up and do the fami-
