Some forty-ive hundred people who were in
the coliseum at Minneapolis, Thursday after
HE dre aaa e i n ssp pnd bsleo ny o %ere @s%9 siied
and the stage presented a bright and cheerful
appearance. The full chorus Of nearly thous.
and children were seated in the great sounding
board, the girls dressed in white.
Throughout the entertainment there was the
occasional disturbance Of rumbling distant
thunder with flashes of lightning that seemed
to trace the bright wood finish. One or two
sharp peals added to the apprehension, when
suddenly there was a loud, sharp report, ap-
parently in the space between the ceiling and
roof, the crash of falling glass from the centre
skylight, and confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
People started to their feet; faces %blanched,
panic was threatened among the children and
in the audience, audit was amoment of intense
excitement, and wonderment and questioning
in every look.
As the thundershOwer passed over it singled
out for an electric shock the gilt ball on the
top of the flag staff in the center of the build
ing, the highest point that presented itself.
The electric current flashed down the pole,
shattered the apex of the building, ran along a
timber, attacked a bolt, followed along to an
electric light wire, and thence made its way
without further injury to the building and to
an electric lamp and passed outside the build
ing and to the head Of the steps from the rail
road, which it shattered, and then buried itself
in the ground. 1t was not an easytask to meet
the emergency entirely among the children, and
the intercession of anXious parents, one alarmed

DAKOTA NEWS NOTES.
Gov. ordway Cleared.

Yankton, Oak, Special Telegram.-The
much bruited case of Gov. Ordway 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'e
friends have held from the beginning that the
governor was not guilty, as charged; that if
diction and that the indictment was obtained
by Campbell merely cut of spite, and for polit-
ical effect-all Of which, of course, Campbell
denies. Ex-Gov. Davis, Ex-C Chief Justice Shan
non of Yankton, and Col. Parker of Deadwood,
were retained as counsel for the governor.
When the court opened Ex-Gov. Davis
made 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
into the matter and showed the nee
essities of this protection of these Of
hclals from arrest while holding
office: He cited authorities freely, inc 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
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 CampbelIs Indictment was with
out authority of law, and the case drops.

The iowa Pharmacy Law.
from Des Moines.

16bV0T Hull AcS lUOlllCSs
Last week I gave you the decision of 1he
state board of pharmacy as to their cons1ruc-
tion of the statute relating to the sale of liquor
by druggists, which was that under the phar-
macy law of 1SS0and 1882, they were authorized
to sell and dispose of liquor for mcdicinalpur
poses without obtaining a permit from the
county board Of supervisors. Now comes the
attorney general with an elaborate opinion
addressed to the board, in which he reverses
their decision and holds
First-Tlat the supplemental act of 1882,
printed without lumber OF chapter, and which
was not approved by the governor is invalid.
Second-That under the pha rmacy law of
1880, as mentioned by chapter 49,, laws of 1852,
druggists were not required to get a permit.
~Third-That chapter 143, laws of 1884, re-
peals section 1910 of the code, and provides
q 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 July4 a druggist must
poses, and that his application for 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,
and that the power is still in the board of
supervisors, and is discretionary.
This settles q 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-

the sum remains with the pension Office
OF any officer or agent thereof, or is in

with insulting yells and epithets. The

and, boiling with rage, ordered his SER
