WHAT THE JURY SAYS
According to Accounts Holmes is MOI

According to Accounts Holmes IS Not
Guilty IN Chicago.
A morning paper published the foAoW-
ing recently:
# the story Of Robert Corbett is true,
"A. H. Holmes is not guilty Of committing
a single murder in Chicago.
F The Pitzel murder case is now pending
in the supreme court Of Pennsylvania
and will come up for a hearing within
few days and the defense is making a
determined effort to secure the reversal
of the finding of the jury and lower Court
On technical grounds Il these fail then
the informa ton gathered by tho defense
will be resorted to and it is believed that
they will be able to prove beyond doubt
that his alleged victim, BENJAMIN Pltzei,
is alive and living within radius Of 100
miles of the city Of Chicago at the pres
ent time.
Robert Corbett, a private detective,
has been in the city several days work
ing on the Holmes case, He has several
letters from Holmes, and Is working to
run down the various stories charging
Holmes with murder. in Chicago. He
claims to have evidence showing that Il.
III. Holmes did not commit a single muir
der in the city of Chicago, and that
Holmes confession regarding the death
Of the Williams girl is substantially cor
rect. He says that Minnie Williams is
alive and has been seen on the streets OF
this city within the past two weeks. He
last night stated that he was able to
prove beyond a doubt the following I'm
pcrtant statements in the case: Holmes
confession regarding the death Of Mamie
Williams is substantially correct.
Minnie Williams is alive and has a
child and is now living in the city Of
Chicago. Mamie Williams is dead and
was beyond doubt killed on July 6 at
the fiat occupied by Holmes and Minnie
Williams at No. 1920 Wrightwood ave-
nue. Holmes, statement that she was
killed in a fit of jealousy by her sister is
beyond doubt true The body of Nan
ME Williams was taken to the 'castle"
at SO and Wallace streets and destroyed
by fire.
The skull found by the police at the
"castle' was that of Mamie Williams,
as the marks and fractures show.
Emeline Cigrand is alive and is now
living in Iowa, and her friends know her
whereabouts.
Julia Corners is alive and at present
living in Michigan.
Pearl Corners is alive and is with her
mother in Michigan.
Holmes will be able to prove a COM
plete alibi in regard to the murder of
Howard Pitzel at indianapolis:
The story quotes Corbett in great
length, giving the alleged details Of his
researches.

HAVING fun
st. Paul's Winter Carnival Opens With
Blaze of Glory.

St. RauI's Winter Carnival Opens Witt,
a Blaze of Glory.
The winter carnival was inaugurated
in St. Paul in a regal manner and
the splendor of the old Ice Palace
days were more than eclipsed in the bea-
ty and brilliancy Of the appointments.
The streets of the city were transformed
into scene of fairy wonderland where
in Borealis Rex and his magnificent re-
time of courtiers and retainers disported
themselves and made merry. The seen
lie effects were simply superb and in their
extent and unique beauty they simply
defy description, as none but a connlois-
seur in colors could do the subject JUS
tice
The commingling Of lights and eolors,
the music of countless bands, the superb
costumes worn by the members Of the
several clubs and the shifting OF, the vast
throngs Of people who filled the streets,
made picture of beauty and animation
not soon to he forgotten. The turnout
of spectators was simply immense, and it
appeared as though all Of St. Paul, Min
neapolis and the population Of several
other cities besides, were present to DO
the occasion honor. The carnival pa
rade with which the season Of mirth and
festivity was opened reflected great
credit upon those having the arrange
ments in charge and there were many
unique features, the floats being especial
y elaborate and beautiful.
1 The dazzling costumes of the high dig
nitaries and attendants to his royal ma
jesty were something to marvel at, and
there was represented the figures cele-
brated in mythology and history.
The reception to the monarch OF the
north and his train took place at Fort
Karnival in Aurora Park, which had
been transformed into a scene of rare
beauty and the affair was marked by
more than kingly pomp and splendor.
The work on the fort had not been fully
completed, but for all that it presented
grand appearance, the huge towers, min
arets and battlements being covered with
a beWildering array of flags, and as dan
cling rays of thousands Of eolored lights
the glittering walls of the palace might
well be taken for a castle in fairyland:

where Borealis Rex. the Fire King and

Of their gorgeous chariots, and when the
procession reached the City Hall the pom

to the queen by MAYOR Smith, the re-
Spouse to the mayors greeting being
made by Fire King Enstis, Of this city.

DEATH OF A LOVELY CHILD.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. A. Whitney
mourn the loss of their youngest
child, a boynamed Duane, 20 months
old, whose death occurred at Pres
colt, Wisconsin, on April 14th. The
mother several weeks ago took the
child to St. Paul to be treated by a
specialist in children's diseases, but
medical skill was OF no avail. The
sweet young life that had budded
here on earth was removed to bios
som in greater fulness and glory on
the heavenly shore. Though his pas
sing away leaves an aching void in
the hearts of the fond parents, still
they have this consolation that the
little one is safe, very safe, in the
arms of Jesus.
Mr.. Whitney was informed by tele-
gram OF the boys demise and left i'm
mediately for Wisconsin. He and
Mrs. Whitney returned this morning
bringing the liieless form of their
darling with them. The funeral will
be held this afternoon from the home
and will be conducted by Rev. Chas.
D. Darling and Rev. Thos. Billing.

Reading, .

said Lord Bacon, "maketh a full
man." That is. a man of knowl-
edge. knowledge is power. Do
you want to be powerful? Text
books in school furnish knowledge
but they can give only the skele-
ton. The flesh must be put ON by
the teacher Tor by reading), in the
way of illustration. To get this
additional information one must
read many special books, which
are not to be found outside of big
libraries. Each month the Bur-
lington Route issues printed
sheet containing articles of thirty
to forty lines, compact, reliable
and interesting, on geographical,
scientific and historical subjects.
If you send your name and address
to W. j. C. Kenyon, G. F. and P.
H., st. Paul, MinD., one Of these
sheets will he sent to. you every
month during 1896.
N. B.-The burlington Route is
the best line from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chicago or St.
Louis.
