GOOD SALES CLOSED
Week Has Been One of More Than
Usual Activity in Real
Estate
Work Is Being Rushed on Stonework
of the Federal Build
ing.

Real estate activity this week has
been normal, and in fact rather better
than usual. Several good sales have
been closed. E. J. O'Brien's negotia-
tons with Mr.. Firth, the South Ameri-
can capitalist, who left the city this
week the owner of several thousand
dollars worth Of Minneapolis real es-
tate, have been encouraging. Mr..
Firth is coming here to live, and it is
probable that the end of the string is
not yet.
The Wetherby building at Fourth and
Nicollet. to be occupied by the A. D. T.
company and the Thompson Drug
company. is approaching completion
after several vexatious delays. This
about completes NicOllet avenue re-
modelling for the winter, as the Day
flat building at Grant street is nearly
done, also.
Carpenters this week have been en-
gagged in preparing against the winter
by setting up storm doors and hang
ing storm windows.

It must be: pleasant for a contractor
to have q client who has money to

the expenditures which are being made
by the government in steel for the
postoffice building roof supports. The
government is eXacting a safety factor
of about eight, while in commercial
buildings four would be satisfactory.
Even the layman who inspects the
roof of the building is surprised at the
tremendous overplus of safety offered
by the material which is being placed
In the building.
In several ways the government is
extremely lavish with money, altho
the last penny is exacted in all ac-
counts with it's employees and the
wheels of government would stop
sooner than would the authorities let
pass a half-cent error.
The builder with ordinary means
would not think of putting $4,000 on
the four towers Of the building, abso-
lutely useless, save for appearance.
With their numerous carvings, which
are under way, and the concrete roofs
and heavy stone work, they take
money fast.

an eye to economy Of room would not

ARSENIC coLoRING
In Wall Paper VIII Poison Those Who
Occupy Rooms.

The general public, we fear, is not ac-
quainted with the dangers arising from
arsenic coloring matter in wall paper. A
recent death in Palmer, Mass, is directly
attributed by the medical authorities to
this cause. The trouble which resulted so
disastrously made its appearance a year
and half ago In what seemed to be ner-
Syous dyspepsia. Two months of travel
abroad seemed to greatly improve the
patient, but on returning home he soon
grew worse again. On account of certain
conflicting symptoms which could not be
readily accounted for a specialist was
called in. and gave it as his opinion that
there was arsenic poisoning in the system.
An investigation was then made which
resulted in the discovery of arsenic colors
in the wall paper Of the sitting-room. This
room had been papered shortly previous
to the appearance of the first symptoms
Inc wall paper was at once removed, but
the disease had by this. time progressed
SO far that 1t was impossible to save the
life of the unfortunate victim

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 31.-The state
board OF university and school lands,
at its meeting this week, bought or
authorized the purchase Of nearly
100000 of state and school district
bonds. These bonds will be bought
from the state institution funds, the
interest Of which goes to the state
institutions for their maintenance.
About $4,000 were school district
bonds issued and sold to private pur-
chasers in the early days of the state
for rates of interest varying from to
per cent, and they are now bought
by the state to net 4 per cent, SO diff
hcult is it to find investment for the
state school fund. An issue of state
bonds aggregating about $4,000 was
offered to the board to net the state
per cent, but it refused the offer,
not deening the rate Of interest de-
sirable. This purchase of bonds, when
completed, will reduce the institution
fund to a minimum, until it Is in
creased by further sales of state lands.
Applications for loans on farm lands
| are also coming in, and twenty-one
appra1sals were ordered by the board,
to base loans applied for in Benson
county. The total of the loans re-
quested is about SIS, 900.
! Capitol Addition.
Members Of the state capitol COM
mission are discussing the feasibility
of the building of the addition to the
state capitol, authorized by the last
legislature. The addition was to have
been built with funds arising from
the sale of bonds. The institution
| bonds were knocked out by the SUI
preme court, which stated in its opin-
ion, however, that the capitol building
lands were on a different basis from
the educational institution lands, in
that the principal arising from the
sales could be used directly for the
erection of buildings.
| Altho the bonds have not been sold,
enough of the capitol building lands
have been offered for sale to bring
in funds sufficient to make a good
showing on the addition. If the board
decides that these funds can be used,
under the authority granted by the
last legislature, the work of building
| will proceed.
This state is probably the only one
in the union that owns a street railway
| franchise, and work upon the con-
! struction of the line is in progress,
under legislative enactment appropri-
ating 100000 for the construction and
!! maintenance of the line. The grade

connection with the trolley line, the
state will maintain it's own electric

CAN FARMERS
SELL CIDER ?
May Have to Take Out
Dow Law License

A question has been raised by the
state authorities as to whether or not
farmers can sell cider made from their
apple crops without paying the Dow
law tax. The decisions of the courts
have been so stringent about the sale
of any liquids containing alcohol that
the general opinion is that after cider
is few days oldn it comes under the
law.
Friday an inquiry from a farmer was
received at the Office Of the state audi
tor at Columbus, and no decision has
been arrived at, as even the state au-
thorities do not know where to draw
the line between sweet or non-alcoholic
cider, and. hard cider. All agree that
a farmer cannot sell hard cider with
out violating the law until it reaches
the vinegar stage. The line of de-
marcation is rather obscure.
George H. Rutledge, law clerk in the
auditor Of states Office, in discussing
the matter, said: "The question would
have been ridiculous last year. I have
submitted 1t to Assistant Attorney
General Jones, and he does not seem
to be ready to answer 1t off-hand. You
see there is a question as to how long
cider remains sweet. 1t does get very
hard, we all know, and apple jack is
about the worst intoxicant / know Of.
Viewed through some Of the decisions
of the supreme court, am not so sure
but that our farmer friends will have
to take out Dow license or quit SELL
ing"
The least a farmer could get a IL
cense for would be $50, and that would
hardly pay to sell a couple of barrels
of surplus cider.

GLYCERINE EXPLODED
Shocking Accident Resulted In
Death Of Two Peddlers Who
Found IN pty Can.

Butler, Pa, Oct. 24.-An empty nj
troglycerin can, hidden In the woods
by a careless well-shooter, brought
death to two men Friday. The victims
are William Marks and Patrick Hardy,
two peddlers of small notions, who
last night camped in a shanty near
Sunset station, on the West Penn rail-
road, two miles east Of Butler. They
found an empty can, which they sup
posed had contained maple syrup from
the small bit of sticky substance ad-
herring to the top. Marks sat down
with the can between his knees and
commenced to cut out the top SO as to
transform 1t into water vessel. The
small portion of nitroglycerin at once
exploded and Marks head, hands and
feet were blown off and his body dis
emboweled. Hardy who was standing
close by, had his eyes blown out and
the bones in his arms and legs shatter-
ed in a dozen places.
