doubt his own being after getting a
squint at Mr.. Drischel.
The railroad committee of the Board
of Trade has been asked to take inn
mediate steps towards securing better
train service for this city over the
Northwestern road. Business men
claim that they are thoroughly dis
gusted with the service now given. The
mail, including business letters, arrives
in Sleepy Eye at about nine o'clock at
night, and in case the train on the
nickel plate gets into Redwood Falls on
time, which of late, has been rare ex-
ception, they do not get their mail un-
til about ten o'clock. On Saturday
night the mail remains in Sleepy Eye
from nine o'clock that night until 900
the next Monday morning, and on last
Monday it did not reach here until
nearly eleven o'clock. The result of this
is that there is not only grievous de
lay in the mails at Sleepy Eye, but that
it is utterly impossible to get important
correspondence attended to until after
all the east-bound trains have left the
city the next day after the mail should
arrive. The railroad committee should
certainly be astir on this subject. The
proper agitation or correspondence with
the railroad company will bring about
remedy, and unless definite action is
taken at once the railroad company will
continue its razzle of this city.

legations, supposing Germany takes
measures to enforce the payment of the

ALIBI FOR HOLMES,
Evidence Showing He Was Not the Muir
dcrer Of Howard Pitzel.

dcrer of Howard Pitzel.
Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 30.--Attorney
Bullock has received a letter from
Judge Harvey of st. Louis, saying that
II. H. Holmes was in that city October
2 and 3, and this supplies the missing
link, showing Holmes whereabouts
from the LIST to the 18th of October,
during which time Howard Pitzel is
supposed to have been murdered in the
tenement at Irvington, near this city.
Mr.. Bullock has also found witness
who saw a stranger in the Irvington
tenement at the time when Holmes was
known to be in Chicago, and the claim
is made that this person was the mys-
ferrous Hatch, and that Hatch killed
the boy. While this evidence does not
reach the case for which Holmes stands
convicted at Philadelphia, it is claimed
to have an important bearing. mas
much as it indicates him not guilty of
one OF the crimes with which he is
charged.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Discredited.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 30.-From infor-
nation obtained on the best possible
authority it can be stated that nothing
is known here about the supposed
treaty between Russia and Turkey.
The report of such a treaty caused a
great deal of attention in diplomatic
circles in st. Petersburg, but in view
of those best informed there is nothing
more behind the report than the good
understanding which prevails between
the two countries.
This was outlined ten days ago in an
article referring 20 the visit of AariF
Pasha here with presents to the czar,
display Of friendliness that arose be-
cause of the kind spirit shown by Mich
olas III. toward the sultan at the time
when the other powers adopted very
menacing attitude.

even In the earlier stages of his mental
disorder, the poet would have kept to
the first design. It was not until weak
ness grew upon him that he changed
the personages, hardened the outlines
and added the fierce strokes which
makes the 'Conquistata" both agloomy
and a morbid legend of untempered
zeal. The world has passed judgment
on this attempt to deface a noble work.
When the "Conquistata" came out
some few read, and fewer still APP
plauded. The last good edition is dated
1893, and only the curious are aware
that 1t contains a description, SO de-
tailed as to seem prophetic, of the CAL
