Minneapolis Journal.l
That sterling daily, The Mime
apolis Journal, has just begun the
publication of the famous original
Sherlock Holmes stories, probably the
greatest detective stories ever written.
They are being published at the rate
of one q week and each one fills an
entire page of The Journal. Each
one is q complete story in itself Of
how the great detective solved some
strange and inexplicable crime
mystery. Each is OF the most alb
sorbing interest and is supposed to be
told by Sherlock Holmes friend and
admirer, DR.. Watson.
Conan Doyle is perhaps the most
famous of English story-tellers, aud
he first won fame by these very stories.
So great was the demand for these
adventures Of the detective whom be
had conceived, that the author, after
writing enough Of them to fill three
volumes, was forced in sheer despera-
tion to kill Sherlock Holmes offin the
thrilling adventure described as "The
Final Problem" Recently, tempted
by big offer, he made the great
mistake of bringing Sherlock Holmes
to life and writing some more stories
of him. These are held by good
judges to be far below the original
stories in merit. It is the original ad-
ventures that are appearing exclus-
lively in The Minneapolis Journal
the Great Daily of the Great North
west. No other paper in this section
has or can get them.

As high as 148 votes were cast at

being very close, the minority decided
to try conclusions for mayor and
treasurer, and when the polls opened
Monday morning, Martin Boardman
was in the race for mayor, II. S.
Nichols for treasurer, and John
Kennedy for alderman from the Third
ward. To keep up interest Klein was
then pitted against Tuthill for alder
man from the Second.
There was no issue. All had agreed
that the bond propositions should

The local free delivery carriers
doubtless wore smile when officially
informed of the latest ruling by the Post
master General as regards holidays.
According to the Woodstock Age there
are several new plans to be put into
operation shortly by the post office de-
partment in connection with the free
delivery service. The Age says:
so widespread has the rural free
delivery system become that the rulings
which effect it are now of general inter-
est like the recent order of Postmaster
General Cortelyou decreeing that here
after service on all rural free delivery
routes shall be suspended on New Years
day, Washington's birthday, Memorial
or Decoration day, the Fourth of July,
the first Monday in September, known as
Labor day and such day as the president
may set apart as Thanksgiving day.
This gives the carries six permanent
holidays, but Christmas is denied them,
this being the one day in the year when
patrons are most DESTROYS of getting their
mail.
To secure more accurate handling of
the mail by carriers, the postofflce de-
pdrtmenC Is arranging lOr lne HuuloelihS
of all rural letter boxes, and instructions
will be issued in short time to post
masters to assign to boxes entitled to
service consecutive numbers, beginning
with the first box reached by the carrier
after leaving the postoffice. A new box
erected subsequent to the original num-
boring will be assigned the next consecu
tive number in use on any particular
route. After the boxes are numbered
ordinary mail matter can be addressed t.
them by numbering alone, the same as II
now permitted in the case of postotfict
boxes.
Before the close of the summer months
the boxes, of which there are 100000 IL
the country, are to be given a coat o.
brilliant green paint, applied by thu
carriers according to an agreement mad'
with the postmaster general, the pain
, being furnished by the government. TIT
carriers will be allowed so much per boz
J for their work of painting, which mus
be done so as not to interfere with tn
mail service"

To make it possible to pass u snip

required a greatly increased invest

the type when completed.

character of the rock or earth through
which the canal will be dug. As large
modern steamers have a beam Of
seventy-five feet, it is obvious that two
such vessels cannot pass each other IN
