MILD BOLT OF LIGHTNING
Strikes and Destroys by Fire the Iowa In
stitute for Feeble-Minded.

GlenwoCd., Aug. 31.-Fire caused by
a bolt of lightning Saturday destroyed
the State Institution for Feeble Minded
Children. There were 100 children in
the building, but all were gotten out
safely. The loss is $150,0OO. So little
force was exerted by the passage Of
electrical fluid through the building
that it was not for nearly twenty min
utes after the lightning struck the
building that the fire was discovered
The fire burned slowly, eating it's way
from the cupola downward. 1t was this
fact, together with the lack of tall lad
ders and sufficient water pressure,
that prevented the Glenwood fire de-
partment from saving the building.
Two or three hours after the fire
started a portion of the Council Bluffs
department arrived, but too late to be
Of much service. The institution Is one
of the largest Of its kind in the west
II had an attendance of about 500 in
mates during the greater part OF the
year..Of the 100 inmates when the fire
occurred fifty were asleep.
