Prophylsxes Of Cholera.

In speaking of cholera yesterday. DR.. j.
n. Hurry said: Cholera cannot be taken
through the air. The only way to take the
disease 10 to take the germs into the stom-
ach or bowels, either with the food, or
through the medium of contaminated
water. The germs must be swallowed in
some way. or you cannot have cholera.
The disease il infectious. but not con-
tagicus. The food, and especially the
drink. should be particularly watched in
times of cholera. Cholera Rerms find lodg-
nens In the stomach and bowels. and then
multiply with astonishing rspidity. They
do not directly cause the disease, for 1t 10
the proaucts of their life processes, which.
being absorbed into the economy. produce
tine chain of symptoms we call cholera.

diseases. ASS preventive against cholera,

A CURIOUS PHENOMENON.
Two Acres Blown lntotbe Air-Great Demon.
straticn OF Natural Gas at Jerome.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
JEROME, Howard County, Ind. Sept. II.
About o'clock yesterday morning a loud
explosion caused the people of this little
village to rush to their doors. Upon inves-
tigation they were horrified to find, at the
junction of Wildcat and Little creek.
about two acres of Rround had disappeared.
and o small place which had been ignited
for several days past had set fire to tho
place, and it is now q roaring mass of
flame. What the outcome will be no one
knows. People are all on the move to-day.
and business 10 at q stand-still, and fright
ened women and children can be seen in
groups talking of tho marvellous escape
from death of the entire population. Meals
have all been cold to-day on account of the
vast quantity of gas in the air making it
DANGEROUS TO start fires TO do any cooking.
1t is I'M possible in this brief communlea-
to thoroughly depict the situation. For
mer reports, which have appeared In the
Journal, In regard to the ov~erfiowlng OF
the water wells give no idea OF the phe-
nomenon. In the village alone there are
thirteen wells now boiling over, and the
gullies along the sides of the streets have
become veritable rivers. but the greatest
curiosity is the we'll Of William Oneal,
which has been tho woret since the hrst.
This morning it suddenly stopped flowing
and seemed to be perfectly dry Ior ABOUT
an hour, when il as suddenly burst forth
again, and is running out at tho top of the
pump. The flow is OF such volume that 1t
has washed the foundation ont from under
the side of the house. W hich IS momentarily
expected TO tOpple over.
At q distance Of one-half milo southeast
of town boys have drilled miniature gas
wells by driving sticks IN the ground and
piping with hollow reeds. These, when
lighted after dark. make one think he Is

man south of town had abOnt thirty head
of steers in a ten-aere lot of bog2y land.
which had been ditched so they could cross
over into O stubble-ield. They started
across since the big rain and have not been
seen since. The gas can be lighted any
where IN the field since the rain. 1t Is re-
ported now that gas Is rising two miles
southeast of town.
The gas company opened its well this
morning. and Immediately there gushed
forth n stream Of water from n fye-inch
pipe rs feet high. and is lnundatlng tho
whole Town. One can stand any W In
the town and would soon get wet. unless
protected with n rubber coat. Theodore
Hawkins. living $50 yards west of the aas
well, has had to move AL his stock ana
household goods from bic farm on account
of tho flow of water. The water Is now i've
feet deep in his barn lots and still rising.

New Electoral Law Likely to BE Passed by

New Electoral Law Likely to BE Passed by
the Prussian blot
BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE Prussian Diet will
meet during the second week in November.
1t will have an important measure to con-
sider. This is the question of reforming
the electoral system. The new system of
taxation has impelled the proposed reform.
Until now the Prusslsn electors have voted
in three grades. partly regulated according
to the taxation paid. This plan, which is
com plicated. abnormal and unfair, dates
from tho period of the conservative
reaction against popular principles. and IL
in direct conflict with the universal suffrage
accorded to the German electorate when
the empire WAS created. So tho Prussian
system, which was designated to give aris-
tocrats su supremacy, must be modified. The
bill will not propose all that the Fressinnige
party desires. Ii still retains the plan of
grouping the electors In classes, according
to taxation. but lowers tho qualifications
TO vote. The Fressinnigo party will raise
. lively contest over what they claim Is On
suticis reform. Judging from tho Ian
guage of the Catholic press the Conserve
tiyes and CcntrIsts will combine TO sup
port the government. The bill Is thus sure
TO pass.
