THURSDAY, JAN. 12, 1855.

A PLACE known as Iron Mountain
in the State OF Michigan, has been
the scene of terrible visitation in the
shape of typhoid fever. No less than
three hundred persons have fallen
victims to the scourge. The water
used by the citizens Of this place has
been analyzed, resulting in the dis
covery Of germs which the chemists
claim to be those from which ty-
phoid fevers spring. These were ad-
ministered to cat and the same
symptoms as those found in the
human system when under the ty-
phoid influence were produced.
Such experiments should not be
required to pro 7e that this entire class
of terrible diseases is generally the
result of drinking impure water OF
milk. 1t will probably at no distant
day become accepted as fact that all
such ailments result from impurities
taken into the system in what we eat
and drink. Water and milk are the
usual channels by which these mi.
crobes reach the human intestines
There are many reasons for this
Water and milk are received into the
system in an uncooked state more thar
any other dietetic material. The water
comes direct from the most intimate
contact with the earth where it has
often encountered the foulest poison
Milk is as absorbent as damp air an(
takes up as sponge much that floats
in the atmosphere. The means o
prevention are simple and easy
enough. Use no water or milk which
has not been boiled, and after boilin:
keep them in clean place, and keep
them protected from the outer air by
means of some fine material which
will thoroughly strain the air which
comes in contact with the water or
milk. These precautions are of the
greatest value in cholera times.

KENTUCKY does most wise thing
in electing such man as Senator
Beck to the Upper House in the Ma
tional Legislature for the third time,
as was done yesterday. After dozen
years in the Senate man is worth
a dozen green men for all purposes
except voting. A new man in the
Senate must be of most commanding
mind to gain recognition at all. The
same fact is to be observed intensi.
fed in the Lower House. The diff
Guilty is increased by reason of the
larger number in that body. There
is more room to get lost.

INCoNsIDERATE persons sometimes
commit the folly of saying that the
diurnal extremes of temperature in
Los Angeles are as great as they are
in the hyperborean States of the
Northwest. In point Of fact, our
thermometer ranges now at from
thirty-two degrees to filty-two degrees,
or thirty-six degrees to fifty-six de-
grees. This is, of course, in all cases
above zero. 1t indicates divergence
of twenty degrees. During the cur
rent week in Minnesota the tempera-
ture has been as low as thirty seven
degrees to fifty degrees below zero.
The mercuy will rule at thirty degrees
to forty degrees during all hours
of the twenty-four. Let US suppose
the dweller in any portion OF that re.
gion, stepping from a stove-heated
room, where the temperature is main
tained at seventy degrees, into the
outer air, where the mercury indicates
thirty degrees, forty degrees, and even
fifty degrees below zero. Here is an
instantaneous change OF from one
hundred degrees to one hundred
and twenty degrees. That is
what cracks lungs, albeit they
were made OF brass. But while
our mild climate shows to so great
advantage In any such comparison, il
must not be supposed that people in
this section can be careless as to
changes of temperature at certain pc
riods of the year. For example, during
the past few days, the mercury has
been at the extremely low point for
us, of thirty-two degrees above zero
at the coldest moment OF the twenty
four hours. The warmest hour while
the sun is up our temperature has
been running at fifty-two to fifty-eight
degrees. The normal temperature
for the human system may be said to
be at sixty degrees to seventy degrees.
Now, for several days our weather
has been ruling at from two degrees to
a great deal more below this normal
range. The vitality suffers more or
less of an invasion by this change.
Strong persons may not feel this
greatly, and persons in average
health may not suffer much from
it. But the weak are sure to
be made most painfully conscious
of this inroad upon their vitality. If
the strongest constitution is put to any
very severe strain while SO heavil y
taxed already by the drop in the
temperature, desease may attack the
system, the result of which may be
fatal. Those who are intelligent in
these hygienic matters will take
unusal care of their system
under circumstances such as we have
been discussing. While the
temperature is so far below
the normal range, fires should be

A Platform and a Cateehism.


The Republican platform, as fore
snadowed by the message of Mr.
Blaine and SO eagerly adopted by
large majority of that party, may be
made the briefest in the history of the
American Government. Revenue fol
surplus takes in the whole principle

Why is the reven nue. shut up in the
vaults I'm order to keep it from be-

Is it really Free Trade oh, no!
1t is merely the policy of raising
enough revenue 10 run the Govern
ment. But Free Trade is better

this.
What is it best to say it has done p
1t is best to say it has been the pro-
life parent of all the financial ills the

A Preacher Mistaken.

RUSH HILL, Mo-, June ia
preacher, a stranger, and, we
think, il was the first time he ever
was in our town, in his discourse,
said: "That Rush Hill was . hard
town; that it put him in mind of a
place where he was raised-out in
the far West on the side of the
Rocky Mountains-where debauch-
cry drunkenness and gambling were
continually carried on" We think
the gentleman in his fruitful mag
nations and false representations
has done our citizens great in
justice. We have lived in a great
many towns, but never lived in one
as free from the immoralities he
enumerated as Rush Hill. We
should have not noticed the gen.
tleman only to defend our town
from such false representations.

DRUG STORE
Ironclad Construction of the
Wood Local Option Law in
the Courts.

The Local Option people are be-
coming very nervous over the
strict Interpretation which the
Wood law is receiving in the courts.
In many of the counties where the
battle has ragged the past six
months the temperance faction has
carried the day by representing
that the law did not prohibit the
sale of whisky by drug stores or a
physicians Representation. The drug
store has been the bone of conten-
ton everywhere. In some coun-
ties the cry was: emo saloons, no
drug store drinking" In others
it was: "Don't rob US of all
liquor. Give us a chance through
the drug store" To meet these
cries the law was skillfully inter-
preted. Gen. Jackson, a leading
dry campaigner, in his labors de-
clared the Wood law prohibited the
sale by druggists of any liquor ex-
cept pure alcohol, and wine for
sacramental purposes. Ben Deer
ing on the other hand, in places
where the cry was, "Whiskey for
snake bites," held aloft the banner
of the drug store, and insisted that
the law was intended to abate only
the evils of saloon drinking, and
the law would have to be interpret
ed by the intention.
But the courts are holding diff
ferently. Judge O'Brien, in Mis-
sissippi county, charged the grand
jury to the effect that drug store
selling was illegal, and in Noda-
way county last week the grand
jury was instructed to return in
dictments against druggists who
had sold anything but pure alcohol
and sacramental wine. This
ironclad Interpretation will not lie
very easy on the stomachs of some
in the interior, who have been vot-
ing dry with one eye on the drug
store. These instructions sharply
emphasize the fact that there are
two factions in the Local Option
rank. Gen. Jackson and his fol-
lowers whose radical Shibboleth is
"Down with the medical saloon,"
are pressing hard ON the teter-
board, around the other end of
which Ben Deering and his mod
crates are clasping their legs. 1t
now becomes a serious question
whether the Local Optionist can
win so many victories as they have
in the past, with this ironclad law
stareing the people in the face.
There is one class, however, that
is very happy, and that class is the
Prohibitionists. p Dispatch.

MEXICO, Mo-, June 13.-The St.
Louis Post-D ispatchofthe 11thinst.,
noticing the nice discrimination that
has to be exercised to distinguish
either a Democratic or Republican
Local Optionist from a Prohibi-
zionist, refers to the cards of the
Rev. John D. Vincil and Judge &.
S. Van Wagner, both strong tenn
perance advocates, repudiating
their selection to the State Prohi-
bitlon Convention at Kansas City,
and manifesting unwillingness to
take the little watering pot in hand
and foster the movement. The
reasons for this are stated to be
that the temperance people in the
Democratic and Republican parties
at this critical point in their history
are verse to having their party
position misunderstood and fear
being classed as third-party men.
On this account zeal for Local OPP
ton In st. Louis is abating. An
other reason for this condition of
sentiment is said to be lack of
funds for a vigorous Local Option
campaign, and the hope INDUCED
in. by its friends that the next leg
islature, if it does not submit a
Prohibition amendment, will at
least either pass a new Local OPP
ton law or make the existing
statute more satisfactory, and thus
obviate necessity for Local Option
contests. If such hope has good
foundation, from a Prohibition
standpoint, there would seem to be
little ems in fighting for Local OPP
ton when Prohibition can be OBJ
tanned for half the individual cost
and effort. G..
