This disease as an epidemic is almost IN

known in Europe since the tenth century.
1t is like the fatal cholera which follow

travels from east to west around the world
with lightning rapidity, and though iafec-
tious may appear on ships at sea which are
in its course. Though not largely fatal IN
itself the mortality being estimated at two
Der cent, yet IS it attacks nearly every
body, and as during is prevalence other
diseases tend to assume malignant forms
it results in e large increase in the death

PRoHInrrIoR IN IOwA.

Apparently it would be an exceedingly
good thing if as one result Of the late
election Prohibition should be overthTown
in Iowa.
The law there has resulted n the most
astonishing abuses. One Of the special
constsbles-a sort Of State poliee-en-
gagged in the work OF enforcing it at Des
Moines was chased by mob the other day
and forced to take refuge in the jail. OF
his performances and those Of his assoc
ciates, tits said;
Under the pre.ex. Of searching for liquors,
tbev have outraged every sense OF decency and
GOOD order. Private homes have been entered;
the sick have not been spared from their vista
ton aud dead hsye been iostled in their collins
and vomea have been iusulted In their own
homes by these notorious rumans.
It's understood that the Republican
members Of the Legislature are convinced
that an end must be PIT to this Dragon
inc Of the public and that the law which
permits such thirgs must be repealed
Although il is a Republican law confer
epceof Republican Senators recently agreed
to shape legislation looking to its repeal or
practical nulhfcation.

lance of this city who he's for several
years past been living with two sisters.
One of them he claims to be his lawful

each sister, however. 1t is also claimed
that they occupy the same room and live
ia a true style of polygamy. The trio it
is said are defendants of good parentsge,
and the much loved husband we'll to do,
