Sleepy Eye is having some trouble
with the water furnished to school
children, and a chemist who re-
Gently examined the water says that
the school we'll water is contain
mated by an old vault, as is also the
city well water. He found that the

It is to be hoped that the ruins of
the two story frame building locat-
ed on the southwest corner of Sec
ond and Mill streets will be torn
down with the opening of spring
The ruins present a spectacle of
city death to every stranger that
comes to town, and a little effort on
the part of the owners of the double
building will remove the ruins and
make the property look decent. In
case the owners refuse to do so the
city council should take a hand in
the matter and condemn the ruins
as a police regulation.
On Saturday the indications were
that the 1898 personal property tax
would not be as we'll paid as was
the 1897 tax. The books were
closed yesterday, so far as avoiding
the penalty is concerned, and while
various banks and other parties
throughout the county have lists
that will commence coming in to-day
it is doubtful whether this list will
bring the total up to that of year
ago. In number of towns over
three quarters of the tax had been
paid Saturday, while in many other
towns hardly a quarter had been
paid. The penalty applying to-day
will increase the amount of each de-
linquent taxpayer a considerable
amount.
