The operation was a success and Mrs. Stettler reported to be improving, which is a matter of satisfaction and gratification to ber many friends. b i Mr. Will F.

In the party were Messrs. W. Crooks, F. Miller, 0. Muson, L. Keith, C. Olson, J. Wiillams and J. Rider, all of South Dakota. A large number of young men of the city met [Friday night and signed up to join the military com- pany, which will ve mustered in Friday night. Anyone desiring to join should secure an application blank at once. Lakeland will soon bave one of the best military com- panies in the State—the members bers made sure of that by electing Mr. Win.

Dr. Cresap is being warmly greeted by his many friends, who are mak- ing his stay most pleasant. Dr. Cresop, in noting the growth of Lakeland during the past five years, mid: “I advertise in the leading papers of the south, and in looking over my miail each morning I cannot but notice what a metropolitan pa- per my old home town has. Towns of 12,000 and 15,000 population and ever larger do not have papers that come up in size, appearance, make- up or contents to the Telegram. You certainly are giving the people a paper to be proud of.” T S BAILEY CLOTHING ©0.

S0, TURN 1T 0FF Owing to the activity of the traf- fic policeman acting under instruc- tions to enforce rigidly the trafiic | ordinances, a score or more automow . bile owners were cited to appear in police court this morning, but, ow-| ing to the absence from the city of Mayor Eaton, who also acts as police judge, the cases were continued un- til Wednesday morning. The of- fences for which the parties were pulled were mostly for ‘“‘cutting corners” and running on the prin- cipal streets with headlights on. The latter provision of the ordi- nance seems to have escaped the at. :tention of everybody, as practically every automobile on the streets Sat- urday night ran with headlights on in fullforce. As the parties making the violations did so through igno- rance, it is probable that they will be let off with a fine, in addition to a short jail sentence, or a few days’ work on the streets.
