AS the time draws near for the local
option law to go into operation, people
are inquiring as to the provisions of the
statute regulating sales by druggists.
The following is n resume of such law:
Druggists are forbidden to sell except
for chemical, scientific, mechanical or
medicinal purposes; they cannot legally
furnish any liquor to a minor for any
purpose, except on the written order of
parent or guardian; nor to an intoXica-
ted person or one i'm the habit of getting
Intoxicated; nor to an Indian or person
of Indian descent, nor to any person
when forbidden in writing SO to do by
the husband, wife, parent, child, guard
ian or employee of such person, or by
the supervisor of the township, or
mayor, on director of the poor, or any
supervisor or alderman of the city, or
president or trustee of the village, or
superintendent of the poor in the county
in which such person shall reside or
temporarily remain; nor to any person
to be drank on the premises, nor to be
mixed and drank with any other bever-
age. Each sale must be recorded in

OsCoDA county went dry on the 18th
inst, by majority of fifty-five votes
No more local option elections can be
held in time to put the law into effect
prior to May, 1889. Thirty-six counties
have held elections, and all but two OF
them Iosco and Washtenaw have
voted TO Danish the saloon. The fol.

a suitable blank book, giving name Of
purchaser, purpose for which liquor Is
sold, date of sale, quantity and kind Of
liquor sold, which book must be open
for the inspection of all persons during
business hours. Each druggist must
give bond to be approved by the COM
mon council, board of trustees or town
ship board. as the case may be, in the
sum Of O., 900, with two or more free
holders as sureties, each of whom must
justify under oath. The provisions Of
the bond are that no illegal sales shall
be made, and that the principal in such
bond will pay all damages, actual or
exemplary, that may be adjudged to
any person by reason Of any illegal sale.
The penalty prescribed for any viola
ton of the law is fine of not less than
500 nor more than $500 and costs, or
Imprisonment not less than ninety days
nor more than one year, or both such
fine and Imprisonment in the discretion
of the court. On conviction of a second
offense, such druggist is to be debarred
from selling any such liquors within the
state for period of five years. This
last provision is, under. the recent de-
cision of the supreme court, unconstitu-
tional. The law would seem, neverthe-
less, to be ample, for the protection of
the people from illegal sales, and there
should be little difficulty in enforcing it
against any who may choose to run the
risk of its violation.

OF AND FOR THE ARMY.

Adit. Gen. Seeley was visitor at de-
partment headquarters yesterday.
Inspector Gen. Edwin G. Mason re-
turned to st. Paul yesterday, having
completed the inspection of the ac-
counts of the disbursing officer at Du-
luth, Mimi.
The commanding general has desig-
mated the months of May and June-in-
stead of June and August, as heretofore
as the target practice season at the
post of Fort Meade, Oak.
The president has ordered Capt. Will
lam r. Maize, Twentieth infantry,
Camp Poplar River, Mont, to report in
person to Mai. Gen. Schofield for exam
ination, with view to his retirement
from active service. Capt. Maize en-
tered the service as private soldier in
1861. and was breveted a captain for
''gallant and mert0riouS service in the
battle of Stone river, Tennessee"
The friends of First Lieut.. Frederick
D. Sharp. of the Twentieth infantry,
were recently somewhat surprised to
learn that all order had issued from the
war department summarily relieving
that officer from duty at the infantry
and cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth,
and directing him to join his company
at Fort A SSinaboine, Mont. This sur
prise has been materially increased by
the fact that formidable court martial
has been ordered for the trial of the
lieutenant upon charges involving his
personal and professional character.
Thirteen officers comprise the detail
the full limit under the law. Maj. A.
A. Woodruff, of the medical depart
ment, is president, and Capt. Arthur
Murray, Judge advocate of the depart
ment of the Missouri, judge advocate of
the court.

Tarbox Addition to South st. Paul.

TarboX Addition to South st. Paul.
This beautiful addition is situated on
the Minnesota IL Northwestern Motor
Line and is just two minutes ride, or
ten minutes walk, south from the Stock
Exchange at South st. Paul.
The brick depot at Riverside is located
on this property, also the boot and shoe
factory of Tarbox, Schlieck & Co., now
in operation and employing over 100
people, and the number is being in
creased each week.
1t is in near proximity to the Stock
Yards, where there have been expended
over 81, $50, 900 in the erection of Stock
Exchange, packing houses, ice houses,
elevators, feed mills, feeding sheds,
pens, ETC., and where 1,500 hogs per day
are now slaughtered. Plans are pre-
pared and the construction ordered of
another large packing house to supply
European markets. The ground is be-
ing broken for one of the largest dis
tilleries in the country, and large tan
merry will undoubtedly be built this
year.
Afine brick school house is within a
few minutes walk of Tarbox addition
These improvements assure the pOpu-
larity of the residence lots on the beau
tiful plateau, which commands view
of the river and surrounding country,
yet is level as prairie; as we'll as de-
mand for business locations OH the Con-
cord street frontage.
1t is only one week since we first of
fered property in this addition for sale,
and we have made number of sales,
principally for improvement.
We shall continue the present low
prices only very short time, when for
the benefit of first purchasers a sharp
advance will be made and firmly main
tanned, as we are warranted in doing,
for our present prices are much lower
comparatively than any other in the
vicinity.

A more characteristic and amazing
American story was never more delight
fully told. AS an illustration of the
growth and development which have
made the Northwest a miracle of prog
ress and prosperity it is unparalleled.
anditreminds the reader that the unprec-
edentedly rapid advance of this coun-
try is not an old story of past achieve

Mr.. WARNER has the happy gift of not
ing the most interesting and significant
facts, and of compelling statistics to
illuminate instead of confusing his mar
rative. An admirable map of the region
treated by him illustrates the article.
The series will be continued through
the spring and summer, and it will evil
IDENTIFY prove to be one OF the most nota-
BILE and valuable of contributions to
magazine literature and to popular
knowledge of the granary OF America
and of the world. The charm of Mr..
WARNER as a travelling companion has
been often proved in HARPER's MAGA-
ZINE and HARPER's WEEKLY, but in
these fresh fields and pastures new it is
as fresh and captivating as the noble re-
zion itself.
