ICE BERGS,
Suggestions Looking to Protection gainst

Suggestions Looking to Protection A gainst
Never were there so many icebergs
in the Atlantic as during last May and
June. These were found as far south
as SO degrees, and were in the line of
the steamships that ply between Europe
and America. Navigation, therefore,
has been extra perilous, for the vapor
of icebergs is foggy. and in the night
there is no means of gauging how near
they are to ship. The City of Berlin,
with ], 400 passengers, struck an iceberg
in the night. but she was saved from
destruction by her long bowsprit and
PROV, an unusual appendage to newly
built steam-vessel. Inventors have
recently been at work to find means of
protecting steamships from these col
1isions. Prof. Bell suggests that an
echo might tell of the proximity of an
iceberg. and commended the plan pro-
posed by Mr. F. Della Tore, of Balti-
more, for effeetng this object This was
tested on Chesapeake Bay. The apparatus
consisted of speaking-trumpet at
tached to the muzzle of musket from
which blank cartridges were fired at
passing vessels. The experiment so far
succeeded that at mile off river steam
boats and passing schooners returned
echoes at intervals proportionate to
their distance. Another apparatus en-
ploys q bell for producing the sound,
and large open vessel received the
echo. The sound in this case was con-
veyed to the officer of the deck by tele-
phone. These and other inventions are
being tested, and, if successful. they
will greatly reduce the danger of ice
berg collisions. Intense fogs and g
lower temperature are now the only
means of suggesting that large ice
field is near. Steamships now plow
through the ocean at so rapid a pace
that q collision with an iceberg would
be certain destruction. There are other
ocean perils, such as abandoned vessels.
of which there are thousands afoat on
the ocean, collision with any one of
which might sink a noble ship freighted

Sulkiness as an Accomplishment.

The capacity for steady, solid, con-
centrated sulkiness is mighty power
to him who possesses it; it implies
many curious and varied accomplish
ments and gifts, among others, that
of the complete mastery of five sem
ses. It is for a man to be blind when
it is desired that he should open his
eyes, dumb whenever words would be
acceptable, deaf to all allurements or
submission, insensible to every effort
at conciliation It can create gloom,
and having created it, it can perpet-
uate and deepen until it becomes a
clinging atmosphere as unwholesome
as malaria. Tt comprehends an alb
solute control over the facial muscles,
so that no softness or sign of yielding,
not ripple Of smile OF an express
ion Of pleasure, may replace even for
a moment the sudden apathy or illu-
inmate the habitual scowl Of the con-
firmed sulker In word, it is the
faculty of stimulation to such degree
that person shall appear to be blind,
deaf, dumb, stupid, paralyzed, i'll or
dead, whenever and for as long as he
choose.

Enclosed find P. O. order for one
dollar, for which please set my sub
scription for the Standard one year
ahead. In regard to the workings of
Prohibition in this part of the State
l would say, that there has been only
one case of drunkenness in this city
since it took effect, July the 4th,
1884, and Centreville is fully as large
as Jackson. We have two Railroads
running through here, and one Of
them has Centreville for an end Of
division, and there are 4 large coal
mines operated by steam within one
mile of the Court House Square,
besides six small mines operated by
horse power; and taking it into con-
sideration that we are only about -
miles from the Missouri Line, and it
can be reached by two different Rail-
roads in Missouri, where they sell
everything, in rev minutes ride. [

PLEAsANToN, KAN, July 90, 'S5.
Brother D. MAcKLEY,
Dear Sir: In answer to yonr note of
inquiry allow me to state freely as |
believe.
1st, Prohibition in our part Of the
State does prohibit, in good degree.
In comparison with other laws pro-
hibiting crime far from being fail
ure. The liquor laws Of the State are
as well observed as the laws prohibit
ing larceny or burglary, and much
better than the Sabbath laws of the
State are observed. If the liquor law
is failure, all laws for the suppress
sion Of crimes in Kansas is also fail
ure.
End, Prohibition has checked drunk
enness to great extent. [ do not
see or hear Of one case of drunken
ness since the passage Of said laws, to
five before their passage. Now do [
believe there is more than one-ifth
of the liquors sold in this part of the
State that there was previous to the
passage Of said law. In my judge
ment the change has produced grand
results. Drug stores may sell in vio-
lation of their permits, and perhaps
they do; but tLey keep no drunken
loafers lounging around them neither
day or night. In my belief the
change from license to prohibition is
a grand one. Yours truly,
J. E. WHITMAN.

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of impair.
ment ofthe mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERUNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait SO long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUNA and MANALIN should at once be
taken.

D. MAoKLEY Esq,
Dear Sir: Prohibition does prohibit
to some extent in this vicinity. There
is little champagne cider (beer for
short) sold here now. Before the
Prohibition law went into affect we
had saloons, which sold on an aver
age 8 kegs of beer day each. The
first three towns west Of here Keota,
Harper and Sigourney, which received
from so to Is kegs day, now get 8
or 10 cases champagne cider a meek.
As for drunkenness, there has been
very little since have lived here.
In the days Of the saloons, on occa-
sions like 4th Of July, circus and fair
days, there was some little drunken
ness; but now there is none to speak
of. Perhaps one drunk man in 2
months is seen on the streets. So it
is plain to see that Prohibition has
helped the temperance cause in this
vicinity. Yours respectfully,
FRANK MARTIN.

The farm of John Collins, near
Haverhill, Scioto County, was the
scene Of a horrible accident few
days ago. Mr.. Collins son boy of
ten years, was driving mower, while
his little brother was sitting upon the
seat with him. The boys stopped
the team and arose to fix the seat in
some way, when the horses started,
throwing the older boy out in front
of the cutter, moving off both arms
above the elbows. The brave little
fellow jumped up and attempted to
stop the team, until he fell exhausted
from loss of blood. The father in
coming to the scene found first one
arm, then the other, then the body,
lying in the meadow. The boy died
of his wounds. The younger boy was
unhurt.

Does Prohibition Prohibit?
HIAwATHA, KAN, July 20, '85.

DEAR FRIEND MACKLEY:
Yours of 10th to hand on 18th, ask
ing the question, "Does Prohibition
prohibit in your part of the State?
Has it had any effect ON drinking, and
if so, what? In answer to all | would
say that | have not seen drunk man
on our streets for the past year, and
that we have very little drunkenness
here am very little on the streets
at night, but our Police Court has
very little to do. | send you paper
that gives The returns of applications
for Intoxicating liquors for medical
mechanical and scientific purposes
only, by all the druggists in the
county for the month of June, as
they are returned every 80 days, under
oath.
There are undoubtedly those who
misrepresent, to obtain liquors, but it
is quite a check on drinking in this
State, although the law is crude it is
step in the right direction. Prohibi-
tion is one of the Republican princi-
pies in Kansas, and we could have
elected three years ago, any other
man on that principle except the
Demagogue St. John.
The great mistake out the National
Republican Committee made last
year, was, that they did not pay his
price. as he was in the market. l
vote for no man for any Office except
he be sober man, and an advocate
of soberness; but Prohibition can not
be carried here or anywhere else by a
third party, and you will find out that
nearly all who howl for the third
party will do as they did here last
year, howl for ST. John and vote the
Democratic ticket. 1t is a side show
by Democrats generally. We have
to look to the Republican party for
all moral reforms.
In most of the towns and cities
away from the border counties, along
the Mo. River, the law is fairly en-
forced, and suits have been COM
menced by the assistant Attorney
General of the State in Atchison and
other border counties, where the
county attorneys neglect to do so.
We have among us the Hungry and
Thirsty" who will do anything to get
a nip; but we have no open saloons
to entice the young into; consequent
ly there is no comparison between
Kansas and Missouri, where major
ity of business houses are saloons
only as you compare day with night.
Although my family are grown up
and by their teaching neither of my
sons have any appetite for strong
drink or for tobacco in any form, yet
I do not want to live where drinking
is common, or saloons are protected
by statue.
Taken as whole, under our prohib-
itory law, I think we are far in ad-
vance of those states that have open
drinking holes do draw in and ruin
the rising generation.
Our wheat was thin on the ground,
the berry good. Fair prospect for
corn, though rather dry now, oats and
potatoes good. Respectfully,
T. B. DICKAsoN.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1885-07-30

law is obeyed throughout the State
about as well as any other law on the
Statute Books.
Centreville formerly had two mar
shals, besides two constables, and then
could not keep good order; but since
the law took effect we only have one
marshal, and he has to perform the
duties of City Clerk besides. Our cal
abose doors stand open the most of
time, and our Jail is about deserted.
There has not been drop of intox-
icating liquors sold within the County
openly since the law went into force
and it is pronounced decided success
so far as southern Iowa is concerned.
This county is in the hands Of the
Democratic Greenback Fusion party
but the county gives Republican ma
jor ity for State offices. They only car
ried this county by IA to IS majority
last fall, and | think Appanoose
county will redeem itself this fall
Crop prospects are very good now.
We raise but very little wheat in this
county, corn, oats and grass are good.
Mr. Cleveland has not ousted our
Postmaster yet, and the one armed
soldier still holds the fort, although
the Democrat editor here has sent in
his petition for his removal and he
appointed in his place. I voted for
the prohibition cause, and would vote
the same way again if | could. As
far as I know, the Jackson county
folks that live in this county are all
well. Yours respectfully,
J. S. MARTIN.
