WHY 1T is SO.

The Failure of Prohibition In iowa and the
Causes That Have Led to It--Impeach-
ment Proceeding On the Tapis--A SCath-
ing Report.
MUsCATINE, Ia, January IA com.
mittee' consisting of ex-State Senator
Ping Nichols, Benjamin Hersey and John
Mahon were appointed by the County
Temperance Alliance yesterday to pre-
sent a report to the Legislature for the
impeachment of Judge Walter J Hayes,
of the Seventh Iowa Judicial District.
The report charges Judge Hayes with
Wilfully, deliberately and persistently de-
feating the law by imposing merely
nominal fines, and decreasing the amount
on subsequent offenses, instead of in
creasing them as the law requires. It
charges collision with District Attorney
Cannon, in requiring convicted saloon
keepers to plead not guilty instead of
guilty so that the attorney could get
double fees, and gives instances of
men fined larger amounts when they plead
guilty than when they plead not guilty. It
= charges the Judge with shamefully Tefus-
ing to apply the law as changed by the
last Legislature requiring him to abate
nuisances, the word Hshall'' having been
substituted for "may" of section 1543 of
the code.
AAG ACPOAG SOhC4uNSS do AOAAOWS' ne

to the liquor traffic by his charges, opin-
ions, decisions, letters, circulars and in

mitting the above grave Offense against
justice and propriety he has repeatedly
and in many ways been guilty of gross
and glaring malfeasance in office. Your
committee are confident that they have
in their hands, or at their disposal for the
use of the Legislature, ample proof o.
every one of these statements"

heating purposes, it's hght-producing
qualities being very deficient. owing 10
lack of hydrocarbons in its compost
ton, A company has recently been
formed, however, for the purpose of
utilizing it for light by a process yet
remaining secret.
The pertinent queries concerning
this new fuel are: Can a regular sup
ply be depended uponP How long will
it lastP In reply TO the first query, the
supply has thus far been regular. De-
feotive pipe has caused it to run short
at times, but the wells have not failed.
More gas has issued from them than
could be taken care of. Many millions
of cubic feet have been wasted, because
no measures were taken to husband it.
1t is to be hoped that means may be
found to prevent the loss of so much
valuable fuel.
The second query is more difficult to
answer. A natural gas well is an un-
certainty. It may last six months, as
many years, or cease to produce in a
few weeks. The supply at Fredonia,
N. Y, is still reliable, after being
drawn upon for nearly half a century;
the well drilled at East Liverpool, o.,
in 1860, was cleaned out recently, and
responded with liberal flow; the orig
iRal well at Murraysville, Pa, (eight
years old) is still pouring out hundreds
of thousands of cubic feet of gas per
day. Many instances of this kind
might be cited. On the other hand,
many wells have ceased to flow after a
short interval, or were non-productive
from the first. The limits of the gas
field yet remain practically underlined.
New discoveries are constantly extend
ing it. AS has been the case with
petroleum, one district being exhausted
new fields will probably be developed.
1t is very reasonable to suppose, from
facts already CLEANED, that natural gas
will be extensively used in Pittsburgh
and vicinity for years TO come.
Our knowledge of this new fuel is
yet very limited, We know that, being
free from sulphur, it makes excellent
iron and steel; we have good reason to
believe that it is closely related to
petroleum; we have identified it with
marsh gas and the deadly fre-damp Of
the mines; but Just what produces it
and exactly where it comes from are
matters of doubt. A prominent geol-
ogist says that it is the result of decom-
position of animal and vegetable life,
and that it is not believed to be in
digenous to the sand-rock from which
it is obtained, but comes from lower
level, rising through cracks or faults
in the intervening strata. As yet one
must be content with theories as to its
origin, and as to the permanency of the
supply. Facts will be developed later.

LOUISVILLE, KY, January ~17.-Man's
inhumanity to man was graphically illus
trated by story of suffering and misery
which comes from the convict camp near
Jellico on the line between Kentucky and
Tennessee. The region is one of the
widest and most sparsely settled In the
State, and it is rarely visited or heard
from by the outside world. It is rich in
coal fields, and the mines are operated by
cOnvicts from the Kentucky prison.
Thomas Whallen, a prisoner pardoned
by the Governor and sent home to die, ar
rived in this city yesterday, and gives his
awful experience.
He was sentenced about flye months
ago to serve three years for killing a me-
gang sent to the mine on the seventh of
this month. They arrived at Jellico late
at night, during heavy storm. The men
were chained together, and marched to
the mine on foot, nearly nine miles. Ar
rived at the camp, they were huddled to-
gether in a log hut reeking with foul
odors, the roof of which was filled with
holes, which served the double purpose
of letting out some of the smell and let
ting in the rain.
At three O'Clock the next morning the
poor devils were reused out and chained
together again. After a breakfast of raw
pork, rice, coffee and slice of bread they
were marched to the mines and set to
work with the warning that if a certain
task was not completed whipping would
be the reward. The tunnel in which the
men were is but four feet high and they
were forced to dig in kneeling position.
The suffering of the men during the
late cold spell was indescribable. Penned
up at night in hut through which the
wind passed almost as if there was no
impeachment; without fire, many of them
were nearly frozen to death. Whallen
says when he left the awful place, many
of the men were down with sickness,
while others who had their limbs frozen
so they could hardly move, were COM
PEELED to work. There are 165 men at the
mines

LOUISVILLE, KY, January IA sui.
eide under peculiar circumstances oc-
Cured here last night. Oscar Koeger, a
German, well-to-do, thirtY-five years of
age, with a family of wife and four chill
dren, has been drinking heavily of late.
After supper he called his children up to
him, one by one, kissed them and told
them papa was going away forever. He
then walked over to his wife, and after
embracing her told her he was going to
kill himself. She paid no attention to the
remark, and he went out at the front gate,
taking his oldest boy, child of twelve,
with him. He told the boy to go to a
telephone station and call patrol wagon
to come to the corner of Shelby and Main
for a dead man. The boy went and
the father went to the corner named,
where his wife's mother lived. He told
her his life had been a failure and he pro-
posed to end it. He then went to the
front gate, pulled pistol and shot him
self through the heart. The patrol
wagon arrived and he was taken to his
home in it. No cause was assigned ex-
cept that KOeger had been respondent
for some days.
