SHERLOCK HOLMES DE-
TECTIVE STORIES.

Which Brought Him Fame
and Fortune, Now Being
Published in the Min r.
neapolis Journal.

That ste.ling daily. The Minneapolis
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 a complete
story in itself Of how the great detective
solved some strange and inexp'lcao'e
crime mystery. Each is Of the most
absorbing interest and IL supposed to he
told by Sherlock Holmes friend and
'admirer. DR.. Watson.
Conon Doyle is perhaps the most IA.
nous of English story.teilers. and he
first won fame by these very stories.
80 great was the demand for these
adve, lures OF the detective whom he
had conceived, that the author, after
writing enough of them to Oil three
volumes, was forced in sheer despera
ton to kin Sherlock Holmes OF in the
thrilling adventure. described as "The
Final Pveb)em." Recently, tempted by
a big offer, he made the great mistake
of bringing Sherlock Holmes to life and
writing some more stories OF him.
Theee are held by good judges to be
far below the original stories in merit.
It Is the original adventures that are
appearing exclusively In The Mime
apolis Journal, the Greet Daily Of the
Great Northwest. No other paper In
this section has or can get them.

A Fine Stone Ouarrv.

Ed. Jack of Trenton was in the city
Monday. Mr.. Jack brought with him
several specimens Of q s6ne sand stone
which abounds in one Of the bills near
HE place, and which. in dneness and
hardness, equals any stone to be found
in the best eastern quarries. This stone
.lissfina solid body. and is exposed to a
depth of from 20 to 30 feet. and is
believed to extend over large area.
Il lies in layers and Mr.. Jack says it
can be quarried in blocks of any
desired size up too feet square. It is
light arev in color. and fine grained,
and Tor building purposes cannot be
competed with in any section west Of
the Mississippi river. He left several
specimens at the depot for inspection
by the railroad officials. IF the best
and cheapest material is what the rail-
road company wants to bald car shops
and other buildings with, this stone will
certainly fl; the bill.
