It was only the "welcome April shower" poetically charged with the pleasant duty of "waking the aweet May flower , " but it made things decidedly livtly around Council fluffs Saturday night and Sunday morning. For several hours the shower assumed the characterand proportions of a July thunder storm , and during the time the electric fluid with which the very atmosphere was snap- ming found ample ocurce of amusement in flashing around over the network of wires. For two hours the big bell In the central fire station wac kept pounding away , causing great uneasiness atnong the trained horses : the gongs In all of the boso lioues would t3und with every stroke of tIme big bell , and until the electric connections were turned off from time stall ( bees , they were liberated anti wont flying to their places every time a flash of lightning would come , Thd ciotitba voro oo low and the' elcctric diocliarges s.c near to the earth that rowertul induction currents ivero sent through all kinds of wires.

Ho lied started to drive to Omaha and was going down Firot avenue , near the Northwetern tracks , when lightning struck in lti Immediate vicinity. Ills liorm was. knocked tbown and Mr. Seaman - man was temporarily s'unned , Driver anri horse recovered about the same instant and the horse tried to run away , anti was tip- parently crazed by the shock. Mr. Seaman was not serlourly hurt and the horse promises - ises complete recovery. The tail chimney at Sprague's iron works was hit ( luring the nibt and a lot of bricks knocked from its top. This chimney hns beeit struck a numbc.r of times in years past , but it has held it against the elements with slight diouigureinent. - At 2. o'clock yesterday morning a stroke it lightning knocked down a live electric wire , and it came into contact with an incandescent - candescent wire leading into Patton's livery s.tablo on North Main street , The incandescent - cent wire entered the building just above a heavy wire screen decr and It dropped down on tIlls door. In an : nstant every foot of the netting was sclntilating with else- trio sparks , and at one point a long arc was drawn out. The great light attracted at- teutlon and the fire depaitment wac called out under the impressIon that the building was on fire. When the flietnen arrived they found the wire door heated to a red heat oil over and the woodwork around it bursting - ing into a blaze. 'fte live wire was cut and the trouble ended. During the storm th strcet car coin- rany was obliged to lay up , at one time for forty-five minutes and half an hour at an- other. A large number of telephones were burned out. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ WHEN 'flUO IOCTOICS JISAGItIdIO , , Ii ( ) Sligill Deeldensto Trentnient of Indigent l'zttletmts. Dr. Roller , the county phys.lcian , has addressed - dressed a letter to The Bee , finding a lot of fault with the report of the visit of the delegation - gation of physicians to the board of super- vicors to protest against Dr. Relier's manego- mont of county patients in tile city hospitals. This paper aimply chronicled-the facts of the meeting as they occurred , but th doctor's communication is interesting , anti throws furtier light on the row between the different - ent schools of docoro' ' . Here it is : COUNCIL BLUFFS , In. , April 11.-To the Editor of The 13cc : I see by this morning's paper that the allopathic staff of the St. Bernard's hospital has gone before the Board of Supervisors and obtaIned an order restraining the eunty physician from treating - ing county patients In the hoepitals of the city.Now Now , Mr. Editor , there is not one iota of truth in this whole matter. Heretofore the county ph.ysiclan has claimed absolute control - trol of county patients , nntl they were obliged to receive treatment from him , no matter how repulsve his system or his person may have been to them. About a year ago the homeopathic phyatciana ef thin city asked permission from the Wo- men's Christian Association hospital to treat sttch county patients in the hospital whjt preferred liomeopathic treatment. The we- men of the hospital board recognized the fairness of our petition , but had to refuse because the county physician had said that he would not 0. IC. the bils : if any other physician than himself were permitted - mitted to treat county patients. To illustrate : During the last year a young woman who was about to be confined - fined in one of the hospitals wished to have Dr. Snyder attend her. Dr. Snyder wont before the board' and obtained permission to attend this woman in her confinement , and stilt in'iien she was confined the county physicIan 'wouid not permit the hospital to send for her physician. W'hen I was appointed nounty physician I was determined - mined to rectify this wrong ; when the board met in March Mr. Iltmntngton ! and myself intended to have gone before the board for relief , but they had only met to consider bond questions , so we had to wait until tile April meeting. 2dr. Huntington and mysef went before the board Friday morning and cnsultetl about the matter , After the noon hour we resumed the discussion , and it woe then determined that as the hoapital had con- trncteti for medical anti BUrgi'al care that the board would hold them strtctiy to their contract ; and that It was not for the board to ( letermtno who they should empl : ' , but that the county Dilyslcinn shloui : inspect the county cases in the hoepitals , and it lie thought any eases were retained longer han necessary , to report to Mr. huntington anti their names would ho stricken from the pay roil , And further , that no cases cou'tl draw pay from the county until they had obtained a written order from the overseer - seer of the poor. This was the sum total of the action of the boardi Ia this matter , and was done at the stisestion of Mr. huntington anti mi- self. The overseer of the poor and myrelt then vent to the St. Ilernard's hospital nntl informed them of the new arrangement. M'tber iii. Vnoent stated emphatically in the presence o Mr. Huntington and myself that the county patients wotilti be allowed to choose their own physician , if they hati any choice , antI further that I or any other homeopathic wouid not be debarred from attending county cases if the patient ro tie. sired , 110th hospItals have a full supply of homeopathic medicines on burnt now. and have had for months , and as far as thir delegation of allopathic doctors with their illustrious sneaker who went before the board and who claim. to have accomplished Ito much I will only say that they simply did nr.tiing ( for it had all been settleti. antI the liospita.s notifIed of the change , before they sippeared before the board. The board diti not recognize the staff as stich ; In fact , gave them rather scant attention on account - count of Pressure of other business. Now , Mr lddltcir , why all these misstatements - ments of victory over tne homeopathic. Just to make the county Physician appear in a false position ? The present arrangement - mont is just and right , The poor in the liOSiitais are not at the mercy of any county physician , and this point I wish' to establish before my term expires. W. H.
