Deadly Epidemic of Diphtheria in Iowa
the Work of the Animals. :.
WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Oct. 2O.-Rabbits
have caused an epidemic of diphtheria
in the eastern part of the county, and
it has spread to Bows, Iowa Falls,
Jewell Junction and Alden. No fewer
than dozen deaths have been reported.
For the last five years diphtheria. has
annually broken out in the immediate
vicinity of Tybithra Lutheran church,
which is used as a school building. A
large number of rabbits have been hi
bernating in that building for long
time, and the physicians have reached
the conclusion that the timid animals
have planted the germs Of the disease
which spread among the children. The
church will be burned

PIERRE, s. D., Oct. 10. 1t is estimate
ed by the stock handlers in the coun-
ties in the southeastern portion of the
state that cholera has up to the present
time killed 80 per cent Of the hogs. In
Yankton and Bonhomme counties,
where the disease is the worst, the loss
is estimated at so, 600 for each county,
while there are smaller losses in the
counties of Clay, Union, Lincoln and
& Minnehaha. In the worst affected dis
tricts some farmers report losses of
whole herds. Prices have advanced 25
cents per hundred, and if the disease
does not abate will further advance, as
many farmers will be compelled to
completely restock their farms. The
losses are already into the thousands

HE'LL is already here. The majority
of mankind are already in its fires.
But the hell to come is not the one de-
scribed by Mr.. Ingersoll, and long ago
rejected by intelligent Christians.
There is no hell, here or hereafter, 9TH
er than that whose fires are kindled
by the law of sowing and reaping. He'll
has already come, because sin has
come, and it will remain as long as
sin endures. The fires of hell cannot
go out until sin disappears from the
universe.
If any evidence or proof were neces-
sary that the Christian religion has be-
come imbued with the spirit of prog
ress and liberalism of the age. it is fur
nished by the above extract from the
sermon delivered by DR.. p. D. John,
ex-president of the De Pauw univer-
sity and we'll known Methodist min
lister, in reply to Col. Robert G. Inger-
soils recent address. Twenty years
ago such an utterance would have re-
suited in an immediate trial for heresv
of any orthodox minister; today it at
tracts no particular attention. It is
certainly rational religion.

The press is saying good many un-
complimentary things about the rev.
erend gentleman who recently pla-
giarized his Easter sermon. When a
newspaper is called to book for steal
ing the productions of another, the
editor usually lies out of it by laying
the blame on the devil, but as the
minister in question has no affinity
with the devil-either of the printing
office or the Internal regions-and is
no doubt averse to lying, he admitted
the theft and thereby virtually con-
fessed that the stolen sermon was a
better production than he was capable
of writing.

ENGLISH PRISON REFORM.

WE ARE again indebted to the cour-
tesy of Secretary William Tallack, of
the Howard association of London,
England, for another pamphlet treat
ing of English prison matters. 1t is a
statement of the steps which have
been taken up to the 9th of February,
1896, to carry out recommendation in
the report of the Departmental Com.
mittee on Prisons, which was presented
to Parliament in 1895. This COM
mittee, whose chairman was the Hon.
Herbert Gladstone, made thorough
and searching investigation of the
prison system in vogue in Great Brit
ain. The result of the investigation
was series of recommendation that
were characterized by a spirit of broad
ness and liberality, and while some of
these were not approved of by the as
sociation, they have been carried into
effect by the Home Secretary. The
treadwheel and crank, which have been
features OF English prisons almost
since their existence, found no favor
in the eyes of the committee, the rec
ommendation being made that unpro-
ductive labor be abolished wherever
possible, and active steps have been
taken by the prison boards to carry
this into effect This is great step in
advancement from a punitive to re-
formatory system. At present every
convict who has been sentenced to
penal servitude- receives the sum of
fifteen dollars upon his discharges: or,
if his record has been especially good,
thirty dollars. 1t was suggested that
some method should be devised to en-
able the prisoners to earn something
in addition to this sum during their
term Of Imprisonment, and several
plans are now under consideration,
but no definite method has as yet been
adopted. In England cellular separa-
tion has hitherto been the governing

THE editor and contributors of The
PRISON MIRROR naturally feel hurt by
an ill-considered attack of one of the
editorial corps of the Minneapolis
Journal. The Gazette, in attempting
to express its sympathy, says: "When
man does the best he knows how and
is obliged to saw wood until removed
by those in authority he should not be
jumped on by a metropolitan paper"
Now, to our mind this is cold comfort
for so bright and popular little sheet
as The MIRROR, which not only in it's
contributions, but it's general makeup,
challenges competition with any prison
paper in the Union. And in general
intelligence it compares favOrably not
only with most of the weekly papers
throughout the state, but can chal-
lenge favorable comparison with not
few of the lesser daiIies. In variety
of matter, brevity of statement and
up-to-date general information it has
few superiOrs, and this is astonishing
when we consider it's limits. No rea-
sonable mortal could expect it to give
local happenings in its prescribed sit
uation, nor would it be proper for it
to do so. SO we say to the editor and
contributors of The MIRROR, do not
be discouraged either by severe criti-
cism or weak praise. Your large cir
culation and continual commentator
through oft quoted spicy little articles
by other journals affords abundant

WE HAVE received the thirtieth an
nual report of the Louisville Indus
trial School of Reform for the year
ending August 31st, '95. The report is
very complete, giving a tabulated
statement of expenditures for food,
clothing, permanent improvements,
etc. The average number of inmates
for the year was 3O1, whose ages
ranged from five to nineteen years.
The Industrial School is not a state
institution, but derives it's support
from the city of Louisville, and un-
der the efficient management of Super
intendent Caldwell, who for thirty
consecutive years has been the chief
executive of the school, it noW ranks
among the model institutions of it's
kind in the country, and the lasting
benefits derived by neglected, erring
children of both sexes who have been
sheltered and taught there, is incalcu-
liable.

The sanitary condition of the De-
troit house of correction seems to be
in need of rectifcation, Judging by the
number of deaths that occurred there
last year. There were twenty-five
deaths, and as the average population
was five hundred it makes the death
rate the enormous one of forty-four to
the thousand.

lQod ana at one time was carried to
extremes, but experience having proved
that the human mind has certain limi-
tations, notifications were frequently
found necessary, until finally the time
of nine months was fixed as the longest
period to which man could be safely
subjected. All convicts, until within
short time ago, were compelled to
undergo this ordeal, but the committee
came to the conclusion that cellular
separation was unnatural-a most radi-
cal theory according to English penolo-
gists-and the result was a comprom-
ise fixing the limitation at three
months. Along the same line was
their recommendation that teaching in
classes should be adopted, and the re-
port states that this has been done,
and, contrary to the belief of the pris-
on officials, the plan works very satis-
factorily. But perhaps the most radi-
cal of all their recommendations one
that would be viewed in the same light
by great many American prison Of
ficials, was the following: "The priv
iIege of talking to be given under
necessary supervision to all prisoners
under long sentences who have con-
Quoted themselves WELL" 1t would
have been too much to expect the
adoption of such an innovation, and
consequently orders were issued to the
governors Of the various prisons, not
to carry the so-called "silent system"
to extremes, and since the order took
effect greater latitude is allowed and
reports and punishment for it's violation
have greatly decreased.
Considering the statement as whole,
the one great lesson to be learned
therefrom is that in pathological mat
ters as in others, the introduction of
new ideas are of the greatest value and
essential to progress. Such men as
constituted this committee could and
did view this question from broader
standpoint than it would have been
possible for those whose thoughts are
constantly concentrated on such mat
ters, and who, in the very nature of
things, get into certain narrow chan
nels, or, as great criminologist has
stated, ''too much attention is and has
been paid to systems and too little to
men,"

The Mississippi mob that drove an

We emphatically object to the motto
