NORTH DAKOTA'S PROHIBITION LAW.
THE full text of the North Dakota prohibition law has been made public. It is entitled, "An act to prescribe penalties for the unlawful manufacture, sale, and keeping for sale, intoxicating liquors, and to regulate the sale, barter, and giving away of such liquors for medical, scientific, and mechanical purposes." It contains thirty-two sections, and comes into force on January 1, 1890. It imposes penalties for the first offense $200 to $1,000, and imprisonment not less than ninety days nor more than one year. The second and each succeeding offense is treated as a felony, with punishment by imprisonment in State prison for a period not exceeding two years and not less than one year. There is a provision permitting registered pharmacists to sell for medicinal, mechanical, scientific, and sacramental purposes. All places where intoxicants are sold are declared common nuisances, and the sheriff of the county in which such places are is empowered to abate them, and destroy all intoxicants and fixtures found therein.—Sel.
