Elmo Residence Park.

The picturesque beauty of Lake Elmo
and the attractive character of its
shores are too we'll known to need de-
scription. The entire northern end of
the lake on the line of the railroad was
purchased some time since by a number
of gentlemen in st. Paul, who incor-
pOrated as the Elmo Park company. A
carefully prepared design of arrange
ment and subdivision of the grounds
has been made by Prof. Cleveland in
accordance with its natural topography,
and every necessary provision for
health and comfort. including COM
plete system of sewerage and water sup
ply, is in progress at Elmo Residence
Park.
The citizens of st. Paul and vicinity
will shortly be offered an opportunity TO
provide themselves with the luxury of
an ideal rural home, at small cost,
within twenty minutes ride OF the bust
ness districts of st. Paul. Here they
will find all the comforts of the city
amidst beautiful surroundings, and
their families will be safe from intru-
sion at all timeS-the park of 80 acres
being enclosed and in chagre of super
intendent. a strip about 100 feet wide
along the lake front will be reserved
forever for the common benefit of all lot
owners. Pleasure grounds for the es-
pecial use of children. as we'll as lawn
tennis and ball grounds, will also be
dedicated forever to the common use of
the residents within the park.
A prospectus setting forth definitely
and in detail the plans of the company,
with a Autograph copy of the plat and
a price list of the lots, will be ready for
distribution in a few days, and may be
secured at the office of the company,
252 Drake block, in this city.

upon our industries by reason Of over
taxation, the present vicious system would
be responsible for it. He then called at
tention to the efact Of past legislation
upon the tariff. Gentlemen from New
England predicted in 1916 that the duties
fixed by the law Of that date
would ruin their textile in
terests. In 1857 all of the New
England members voted for still fur
ther reduction OF 20 per cent. from what
they had called the ruinouslY low tarif
Of 1876. In the free trade period, as the
Republicans called the decade from
1850 to 1860, wool manufactured
products increased 46 per cent.
and wages 81 per cent. applause. The
incre ssed product in Nav England WAS
62 per cent. In hosiery the product in
creased l41 per cent; in cotton the
product of New England increased II per
cent; In boots and shoes, upon which
the duty had been reduced Is
per cent, the increase in New
Englsnd WAS SO per cent. The
product in 1860 in New England WAS more
than the entire product OF the Union in
1850, This was what the Republicans
from New England had seen IN

years after the passage OF this
bill the people of New England would
vote for a still further reduction, or II
thew did not the people would send some
body who would Applause. They
had seen vast material pro-
gress, but they had not
seen trusts that throttled the people.
They had not seen thousands OF working
men marching the streets, demanding
work or bread. These things have grown
out Of our high tariff system. He quoted
Charles Sumner as fevorlng
a reduction of the tariff to
the lowest measure consistent
with the demands of the government,
which was, he said, q good old-fssbioAed

The grounds of Indictment are the drrg-

such prescription sales. Each OF the
defendants arrested was required to
give bond In the sum Of 5000 in each case
