Paul, charged with having performed
criminal operation upon Miss Elsie
Postel of this city, was released from

The disagreeable weather of the past
few weeks has carried numerous cases
of severe colds and attacks of la grippe
in it's wake and the attendance at the
public and several parochial schools has
been cut down considerably as a con-
sequence. While the number of serious
cases has not been materially increased,
the doctors of the city are kept busy
answering calls for medical aid.
Sleepy Eye saloonists were given a
boost into the $1,000 license class by the
city council last week. this being an ad-
vance of $3.50 over previous years. There
are at present eight saloons in Sleepy Eye
and if all of them "see the raise" it
will mean an addition of $4,000 per year
to the treasury. 1t is expected, how
ever, that several of the liquor dealers
will drop out and that the number
probably will be reduced to five. This
would bring the number down to within
the saloon apportionment by state law
one saloon for every 500 inhabitants.
Nearly fifty members of the Congre-
gational Church attended the annual
