In the ground. After short time the

The Bismarck Tribune is the oldest news
paper in the state-Weekly established June
IL, 1873; Daily established in 1881. It has
a wide circulation and is a desirable advertis.
ing medium. Being published at the capital
of the state it makes a feature of state news,
of a semi-ofhcial character, and is therefore
particularly interesting to all who desire to
keep the run of state affairs-political, social
and business. 9@ g.

THE DRUGGISTS AND THE PRoHI-
BlTIoN LAW. ss

There is some discretion to be en-
ployed even in the enforcement of
laws. There have been various re-
ports in circulation as to the inten-
ton of the temperance commissioner
of the state toward the enforcement
of the prohibition law as it appertains
to drug stores.
The laws Of the state fix the limita-
tions of the druggist in the sale of in
toxicating liquors. The law provides
that the druggist who has permit,
which is in effect the bond of large
share of the residents of freeholders
of his ward for his obedience to the
provisions of the law, may sell intoxi-
eating liquor for medicinal purposes
upon proper affidavit made by the
purchaser. +. ~
1t is not believed that the druggists
of Bismarck, = for instance, who are
reputable business men, tax payers
and good citizens, are in the business
for blind pig purposes. Doubtless
they are more frequently importuned
to violate the spirit of the law than
they are disposed to profit by volun-
tarily violating it. Alcohol, whiskey
and various other liquors are not in
frequently needed and purchased for
purely medicinal purposes. When
customer enters the store and asks
for liquor for medicinal purposes and
is willing to make an affidavit that he
needs it, it is the business of the
druggist to sell it to him, so long as
the seller has no personal or probable
knowledge that the afidavit is merely
a subterfuge. Therefore the druggists
are entitled to sell liquor properly un-
der their permits and it will be neces-
sary to show that they have consci-
ously violated the spirit of their per-
mits before it can be assumed that
they are to be proceeded against for.
violation of the law.
The druggist is not naturally a
solicitor for the sale of liquor. He
occupies a peculiar and, at times, dis
agreeable, position He must supply
proper necessities and at the same
time avoid the suspicion that he is
selling liquor solely for the profit
there is to befgained. This is not al
ways easy. The Tribune is inclined
to believe that the average druggist
would prefer to have the sale Of
liquor SO hedged about that it would
not be possible to put him in false
position. There are, no doubt, drug
gists who see in the prohibition law
only an opportunity to traffic in
Illegal wares at a high rate of profit.
There are other druggists who realize
the position they occupy and who
seek to do their duty to themselves
and to the community. The Tribune
3 prefers to believe that the local drug
gists are of this latter class, and it is
believed that an agreement to sell
only to customers who present prima
faeie cases of legitimacy and LIVING
Z up to such an agreement will solve
the entire matter Of controversy as t.
druggists sales.

There are three propositions to

2. Do you want union depot
at the crossing of the Mississippi
Centrals
3. Ii not, do you want union
depot at Court street crossing,
with the Mississippi Central run
ming along or down Court street?
A mass meeting of the people is
called for 5 O'Clock p. m. at the

THE CITY COUNCIL.

The City Council will hold an
adjourned meeting tomorrow
night. At this meeting or one
soon to follow, the board will take
steps to sell the $4,000 issue of
bonds which was provided for by
the board last fall for new ma
chinery at the Power House and
to extend the water and light
privileges to new sections of the
city. 1t is possible that the en-
tire amount of $4,000 of bonds
provided for will not be needed
for these improvements and ex-
tensions, but a majority of the
board seem to be of the opinion
THAT it will. Supt. Purser has
been requested to make and sub
NIT an estimate of the cost of pur-
chasing and laying mains in the
localities where the Power House
Committee shall indicate they are
needed.
At the next regular monthly
meeting of the board, bids are re-
quested from civil engineers for
surveying and correctly locating
the new corporation lines, accord
ing to the ordinance of last fall
extending the corporation lines
one quarter of mile on all sides,
except in the direction of Pearl
haven. This is to be followed BY
a special enumeration of the edu-
cable children in the new terrific
ry and report of same to the
State Supt. of Education, as it is
estimated that the city is losing
several hundred dollars this win
ter for lack of such enumeration,
which the county school fund re-
ceives; while the city is furnish
ing school facilities free to all
children taken in and supposed to
be taken into the corporation by
the extension. Really this is a
matter which should have been
taken up promptly last fall as
lsoon as the extension ordinance
went into efect. Both County
Superintendent Green and Mayor
Lanier called the boards attention
to the matter, but, for some unex-
planned cause, it was neglected or
overlooked.
The running out of the lines
will also decide the question of
liability or non-liabllity for mu-
nicipal taxes in some doubtful
cases.
