4 strange Electric Storm.

The electric storm that occurred last
evening week about O'clock was accom-
panied with unusual meteorological oondi-
nonE. The temperature had not changed
noticeably, the thermometer varying not
far from 65 degrees during the whole day
from early morning. At O'Clock the
heavy, black clouds which had gathered
in the northwest broke with startling
electric report. This was followed soon
after by a vivid flash or two. The air
was still relatively cold, although this
heavy black storm sky clouds were iden-
tioal with the storm cloud formations
usually following the sultriest weather.
There was no rain whatever. and but
slight wind. In ten minutes tho blacks

LOCAL TOPICS.

One of the chief faults of the Mime
apolis ball team all through the season
has been their apparent listlessness and
lack of enthusiasm. There has been no
brilliant base running and no taking of
desperate chances in close games. Many
a time the boys have played good, steady
ball, but have lost through lack of
spirit. Manager Morton has recognized
this fact, and partly for that reason and
partly because Of the intense grand
he has made Reddy Hanrahan, the fire
eating shortstop, captain of the team,
with the hope of putting little more
ginger" into the club. Whether the
scheme will be successful or not re-
mains to be seen, but if it does give the
boys waking up, there is no reason
why they shouldn't march along to
point good way above the fatal 500
mark which has now been reached four
times, but never passed.
It's odd, the different ideas that diff
ferent people have of enjoying them
selves. A young blood was. heard the
other day complaining of the dizziness
of MinnetOnka-nO theaters. no chorus
girls, no wine SupperS, no all-night
revels, no ball games, no anything but
tennis and eminently respectable dances
boating, boating, boating, eminently re-
spectacle dances and tennis. Then an
old German was complaining of the busy
rush and crush of Minneapolis, and
praising the many good points of Mil
waukee. "Why, here" said he, ''you
can't have any fun at all unless you
want to spend all the money you can
earn. In Milwaukee you can have lots
of fun and it won't cost you anything.
hardly. Now there are gardens there
where you get a ticket for two glasses
of beer by paying 10 cents at the gate,
and then you can sit there and drink
your beer and have good time all the
evening"" The good time' and fun"
mentioned consisted of drinking the
beer and sitting there. Verify, tastes
do differ.
The exposition directors might have
done worse, but could easily have done
better in getting up their annual. The
artistic work, besides being chestnutty
III flavor, is rather off color in execu-
ton. The picture of Gen. Washburn,
on page 3, looks as if it had been taken
just after he read Col. Chawley John
sons editorial on his need of rest. The
page cut of the officers and directors is
really tough. not even the names being
readable. There is good group of the
Thirteenth regiment band. and an eX-
cellent write-up of the chief members
of the organization. Most of the re-
naming cuts look more like hastily got
ten together newspaper efforts than
something really intended to be artistic.
