Not Exactly True.

q large party Of Sleepy Eye people
attended the dramatic entertainment at
New Ulm on Saturday and had the
pleasure of seeing Ovens IN .sschool for
Scandal. There were something over
sixty people in the party and they not.
only enjoyed the drama but had splen-
did time with each other waiting for the
train and then on the train teaching
several Of the young men how to bow
and smile. The management at New Ulm
appreciates the financial assistance that
the Sleepy Eye crowd Of ladies and gentle
men gave them by attending the play
aod the company were also pleased. New
Ulm does not patronize first class lcglti-
mate dramatic presentation to an entent
that would make it very profitable to
play such attractions unless the people
of this city helped out by attending
Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

Hopeful for Library.

The REGULAR monthly meeting Of the
Library Beard was held on Monday even
ing at lie flee Of Hoidale s. Somsen
and there was a very preventative mem
bershlp present SO that it was possible
for the board to act with some lntelli-
gence, and while It was found that the
financial condition had not changed for
the better as far as funds were concern.
ed it was also found that there was a
very good feeling among the people to-
ward thesinstitution and an evident de-
sire that the library continue in the ex-s
pectation that the funds would be forth
coming. *
At the meeting the secretary read q
communication from the secretary Of the
State Library Association in which he
said that he had noticed through the
local papers that the library was in bad
shape and offered to assist as far as it
was possible for him to towards getting
the people to realize the importance Of
library in the city. While this was
very kind of the Association It was evil
dent that 1t was not suggestions SO much
however committee was appointed to
| confer with the Association in regard to
getting some legislation that will relieve
the situation. Provision was also made
looking towards the payment of the in
debtedness of the library and providing
for better support of it.
It may not be amis at this time to
state that when the board was consider
ing the necessity of closing the library
and gave the librarian instructions not
to issue books patrons of the library
came and asked that the order be re-
4 voked and the children be allowed to
/ get the books. Most of the people who
contribute towards the library are able
to and do own their own libraries but
they are public spirited enough to help
place the books in the hands of those
who are not so fortunate as they are, now
there are certain number of these people
who are called upon continuously fol
this and other similar purposes and it j.
to get others interested in the project
that the board is DESTROYS and while il
q hast be acknowledged with shame tia
there is a great deal Of opposition to the
library IN the city, without reason, there
still remains enough who have heinter
est of the public at heart to make tn,
library what it should be, and the boare
Is going ahead on the assumption tina
these people are going to give 1t then
