The iowa pharmacy Law.
from Des Moines.

Debber from DeS MONIES.
Last week / gave you the decision or the
state board of pharmacy as to their construc-
ton of the statute relating to the sale of liquor
by druggists, which was that under the phar-
macy law Of 1880 and 1882, they were authorized
to sell and dispose of liquor for medicinal pur-
poses without obtaining a permit from the
county board of supervisors. Now m the
attorney general with an elaborate opinion
addressed to the board, in which he reverses
their decision and holds
First-That the supplemental act of 1882,
printed without number or chapter, and which
was not approved by the governor is invalid
Seeond-That under the pha rmacy law of
1880. as mentioned by chapter 137, laws of1SS2,
druggists were not required to get a permit.
Third-That chapter 143, laws Of 1884, re-
peals section 1910 of the code, and provides
a substitute, which provides a penalty against
any person selling liquor for any purpose, I'M
less he has a permit; that the pharmacy law
of 1880 and 1882 is conflict with this substitute;
that chapter 143, laws Of 1884, repeats all laws
in conflict herewith.
Fourth-That after July 4 a druggist must
get a permit to sell liquor for medicinal pur-
poses, and that his application for a permit
must be signed by a majority of the legal vot-
ers in the ward or township in which he resides
or does business.
Fifth-That the act of 1884 does not change
the code relative to the granting of permits,
aud that the power is still in the board OF
supervisors, and is discretionary.
This settles a much vexed question among
pharmacists in this state from and after Fourth
Of July, and those familiar with the history of
the legislation upon the subject will concede
that the attorney generals opinion is in har-
mony with the object and intent of the legis-
lature

The Nam inappropriate and the Thtng
rot peculiar 20 gunmer

From a Paper by Thomas F. Runabold, NJ ID
IL the dates OF attack and disappear
ance were erased from the history Of q
case Of this disease, / defy even an ex-
pert to do better than guess the season
of the year 81 which it occurred isor
could he make q better guess as to the
duration Of the attack. j am unable
after q very careful study of DR.. Wyman's
valuable work, TO perceiye the difference
between the spring and fall attacks ofthe.
complaint, except that they almost uni
formly occur, theone in spring and the
other IN the fall, but the individuals
who have the attack uniform
ly in May, in june or in july, relate
identically the same symptoms as do
those whose dateof attack occurs III Au-
gust or September. All kinds of this
class Of sufferers are exempt from at
tack by resorting To the same mountain
Gus regions of that country, and, &C
cording to my experience, all are re-
lieyed by the same kind of hygienic
management, and the same kind Of con-
stitutjonal aud local treatment. Cases
are not at all uncommon which may,
for a few years, by the early summer
months, but, from some unknown cause,
pass the usual period of attack and ex-
perience it either later or earlier than
usual. / have a young patient under
treatment now whose first attack oc-
CURED in July, the next In May and the
next in September.
That others consider the name not
the most suitable is seen from the fol-
lowing quotation taken from DR.. Boards
work. He says:
"The appropriateness, or rather the
insuficiency, of the term hay fever Is
now quite generally admitted, for even
where the predisposition exists, hayo
any kind, fresh OF dried, acts as an ex-
citing cause in but a minority of cases,
and rarely, if ever, is il the only irritant
that gives rise to the paroxysms."
The name shay fever" indicates that
hay alone is the cause Of the attack,
which is far from being the case. | have
a patient who can handle hay at any
period of the year without experiencing
theleast Inconvenience another one who
is not in the least affected by it, as
long as his scalp and face is not moist
with perspiration. While this patient
is p~erspiring during the warm months
any kind of dust but especially that
from an old carpet, Instantly sets him
Wild with an itching sensation Of his
face and eyes, soon followed by the sem
sation IN the n~ostriis and by sheezing.
The same objection holds good with
respect to the names rose cold, pollen
fever etc. It is almost universally adj
mitted that any one kind of pollen or
any one kind of flower may seriously
affect some persons and have no bad
effects OH others; yet the phenomena Of
the disease are alike in all patients,
whether they are attacked in the spring,
summer, fall or winter.

There are [, 1000 producing oil wells

10000 barrels of oil a day. It requires
5000 miles of pipe line and 1000 iron
tanks Of an average capacity Of %, 900.
barrels each to transport and store the
oil and surplus stocks. There are now
nearly 3S, 0 barrels of oil stored in
the region in tanks. This oil would
make q lake more than one mile
square and 10 feet deep.
The money actually invested in
petroleum production since 1860 is es-
timated to be more than $425, 000, 900,
of which 5000, 600, 900 was capital from
New York city. Since 1880 more than
II, 900 900 has been used in building
iron tanks, and nearly as much in nine
lines, all by N corporation. The
tanks cost on an average IS, 700 each.
A 35 900 barrel tank is 90 feet in di-
ameter and % feet high. There is a
lateral pressure of 5000 pounds on each
square inch of q tank of this size when
full of oil. There are 100 tons of iron
used in constructing one.
The speculative transactions in petro-
leum represent more than $400, 000, 900
annually. The lowest price crude
petroleum ever brought wes ten cents
a barrel, in 1861. In 1859, when there
was only one well in existence, Colonel
brakes Pioneer al Titusville the price
was $24 a barrel. Besides the 5000
miles ofpipe line muse in the oil regions,
there are iii operation LOG miles of
trunk pipe line, connecting with Cleve-
land, Pittsburg, Buffalo and New York;
and lines building to Philadelphia and
Baltimore. In the line between Clean
and New York $4,000 barrels of oil
are transported daily. These lines
are ell the property of the
Standard oil company, except one
between Bradford and Williamsport,
Pa. The Standard employees 100,0 900
men. The product of its refineries re-
quires the making of 25 900 oak barrels
of 40 gallons each and 100, 900 tin cans
holding five gallons each, every day.
The first American petroleum ever ex-
ported was in 1862. Charles Lockart
Of Pittsburg sent nearly GOO, 900 gallons
to Europe in that year and sold it for
8 1000 less han the cost of transport
tation. In 1888 nearly 400, 600, 600 gall
Ions were exported, for which $60, 000,-

DAKOTA NEVIS NOTES.
Gov. ordway Cleared.

Yankton, Oak, Special Telegram Tho
much bruited case of Gov. OEdway for alleged
bribery in the organization of Faux county, in.
dicted by the United States grand jury came up
for trial before Judge Edgerton. Ordway's
friends have held from the beginning that the
governor was not guilty, as charged; that if
guilty the United States court has no juris-
dictlon and that the indictment was obtained
by Campbell merely out of spite, and for polit-
zeal efect-all Of which. of course, Campbell
denies. Ex-Goy. Davis, Ex-Chief Justice Shan
non of Yankton, and Col. Parker of Deadwood.
were retained as counsel f0f the governor.
When the court opened Ex-Goy. Davis
maae a motion to quash the indictment on the
ground that territorial governors judges
and Legislators we've not indictable
under the section Of the revised statutes under
which the indictment was brought, and which
provides for Furnishing United States officers
who accept brides or gratuities for influencing
their action IN any matter coming before them
for consideration. Gov. Davis went fully
into the matter and showed the nee
e~ssities of this protection of these Of
hcials from arrest while holding
Office. He cited authorities freely, and showed
that this was the first case where a governor
had been indicted. The argument was an able
effort and told upon the spectators. Campbell
attempted to attack the argument Of Davis, but
was clearly very much Disconnected. Judge
Edgerton took one hour for deliberation and
then granted the motion to quash indict-
ment Ordway's counsel were fully
equipped, and had the motion not been grant
ed they would have then attacked the makeup
OF the grand jury. Failing in this they were
prepared to make other motions. and press the
matter for vigorous trail, for which prepare
ton had been fully made; but Judge Edgerton
decides that Campbells Indictment was with
out authority Of law, and the case drops.
