Prohibition in Iowa.

CHICAGO, Sept. Is. "A special to The
Inter Ocean from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. says
that in an interview Hon. Henry Rickel, of
that city, said:
Candor compels me to admit that prohi-
bition is not at the present time meeting
with any very great degree Of sue
cess in Iowa. I believe there is
o greater amount of intoxicat-
ing liquor used in tho state to-day
than there was six months ago. Shortly
after the law was enacted the liquor dealers
of the state seemed to think that its provis-
ions would be vigorously enforced, and a
good many abandoned the business, and
those who remained in the business were ex-
tremely careful to whom they made sales,
and for a time it seemed as though the law
would be success; but as time progressed
and the Saloon-keepers discovered that the
Christian ministers and churches of the
state had ceased to give tho cause Of tenn
perancs proper moral support, that nearly
every temperance organization throughout
the state had diSbanded, and that all effort
had ceased to create a sentiment that would
demand an enforcement of the law, they
took courage, and from week to week have
been increasing their sales and growing
more bold in dsfying the law.

and l think from cholera"
DR.. Sanborn boarded the bark, and after
inquiring about the case said there was no
doubt that it had been case of cholera. 1t
is tho first death from cholera ON vessel
