THE ballot for national flower has
been opened in the Woman's building
at the worlds fair and great interest is
manifested in this method of obtaining
the expression of the public upon SO i'm
portant matter. The Indian corn, the
flower known as the cosmos, as well as
the pansy and sunhower are becoming
rivals for favoritism. Iowa women vote
for corn, Arkansas ladies vote for the
passion flower, Kansas favors the sum

AN ILLINOIS TRAGEDY.

j..
Richard Shoemaker Kills George and Rich
Commits Suicide-Cause of His Awful
Deed.
METROPOLIS, Ill, July 22.-Three
men lie dead in this city and three
homes are made desolate by the act of
one of the three dead men. Friday even
ing about $50 o'clock Richard Shoemak-
er, after repeatedly passing the home
of Richard Lukens, Jr., halted at the
gate and, drawing two revolvers from
his pockets, opened fire on the Lukens
brothers-George and Richard-who
were in the yard. First saying to
George: ''Take back what you have
said about me- he sent ball
crashing into his brain. Richard,
seeing his brother fall, turned and
ran toward his house, but before he
reached shelter the spiteful crash of the
revolver rang out and the shot pene-
trated the young mans head, bringing
him to the earth with his babe in his
arms. The father of the dying boys
coming up received shot in the thigh.
Shoemaker then turned and seat a
bullet into Richards heart and another
into the quivering body. He then
turned and walked away, but, escape
being impossible, after walking couple
of blocks he sat down and shot himself
in the abdomen, producing instant
death.
The trouble grew out of an estate uf
Mrs. Richard Lukens, Jr., Shoemaker
being her stepfather and guardian.
Suit in court and inability to
pay Mrs. Lukens the money due her
several thousand dollars-made him
morose and bitter against the Lukens
boys, two peaceable, inoffensive young
carpenters and builders. Recently a
piano in Mrs. Lukens' possession was
sold by Shoemaker and on its removal
some warm words and threats were ex-
changed.
Shoemaker had been preparing him
self all day. He showed bag of cart
ridges during the evening and asked if
they would kill man. : Both the
Lukens boys were carpenters and con-
tractors, inoffensive young men and
without another enemy than the man
who foully murdered them. Had Shoe
maker not killed himself he would
have been mobbed within the hour.

A CHASTITY Find.

Several boys while digging in the side
of an embankment in St. Paul discov-
cred a human body. When fully ex-
cavated it proved to be that of boy 70
or IS years old, clad in winter gar
ments. The body was in sitting posi-
ton and the hands were folded across
the lap. Investigation resulted in es-
tablishing the fact that the body was
that of Charles Langford, who mys-
teriously disappeared Nov. I last On
the day the boy was missed from his
home he was seen to be going to the
mbankment, in which he had pen
chant for digging caves. It is sug-
gested that he had dug into the side of
the cut and was still sitting in the ex-
cavation when the earth above sudden

MINNESOTA NEWS.


Gust Olson was blown to pieces, very
small pieces, in Minneapolis by dyna-
mite. It occurred about 6 o'clock in the
morning. He had charge of the blast
ing for the new sewer and entered the
dynamite shanty at the hour named to
prepare the cartridges for the days
work. J. w. Kelly, the night watch
man in charge of the works, had not
yet left his place in the engine house.
which stood about a block away, and
he saw Olson enter the magazine He
says that Olson had been there not over
five minutes when an explosion that
shook the locality for blocks around
took place. That is all that is known
of the accident
There is not splinter left of the
shanty, and Olson's body was blown in
to fragments. The largest piece of the
remains found was the left thigh. This
was blown across the vacant lot, over
barn at 40 Fifth street. There it
took downward curve, and with such
terrific force was it carried through the
air that it struck picket fence in the
rear of 419 and broke a 2x4 joist square
off. 1t tore number of pickets away
and was picked up near the front door
step of Geo. Coburn's house, 427 Adams
street. Portions of the remains were
found scattered about within a radius
of four blocks from the place where the
accident occurred.
The head was found on Monroe street.
1t fell in the street in front of a woman
and so Mortified was she at the sight
that she tainted.
Olson was about SO years of age and
was an old and tried hand with ex-
plosives. The greatest mystery sur
rounds the accident and there is not the
slightest fact known that can explain it,
